I don't know who is or is not scummy, but I do know that I really want to know what happened last night.

So do I, fuzzy. Agree with you on that one.

[oblivion]

OK, I'm caught up.

So it seems that no-one had points subtracted last night. Which means that whoever had the subtracting power either
a) didn't use it,
b) was blocked, or
c) tried to use it on someone the scum prevented them from using it on.

As of nightfall yesterday, I'd say Charlou and Ob were the most obvious points-subtraction targets, so can I ask if either of you ladies had anything "funny" happen to you during the night which might be construed as scum preventing you from having points removed?

Ping. Special hunting, now that you're armed and have nothing to lose?

Sigh.

I'm not specials hunting. If you must know, something odd happened to me last night, and I'm trying to figure out what it was. I think it's important for us to figure out exactly how many night actions are happening, and which ones are town, and which are scum.

the number of successful night actions depends on the success of the doctor's protect and the role-blocker's block. presumably the role-blocker is scum, though it's not a for sure. The block of charlou looked like a scum action. The block of MZ is kind of ambiguous - some of us think he's town and some don't.

What happened to you? Is there any reason to keep that secret?

I don't know who is or is not scummy, but I do know that I really want to know what happened last night.

I was targeted again, and I'm now armed. I don't think it's to town's benefit for scum to know exactly how many points I received last night. It was less than 4 and more than zero.

[Magicziggy]

why do you think that scum have anything to worry about overnight mz? so far I've seen absolutely nothing pointing to anything but scum putting points on at night.

there were the points of yours that came off.

right but i was talking about putting points on, which is looking like scum only power to me but mz has posted twice that scum should be afraid of being armed overnight. trying to figure out where that idea came from.

ok, i get it that no one else sees this the way I do. We have seen a "vig" hit seemingly being worth 4 points. Any scum player on 1 point and staying there indefinitely will beyond the reach of this vig. They cannot be armed. At endgame, whenever that may be, that player will win the game for scum. By having all players on a minumum of two points at least gets every scum on their toes. This is my thinking. I agree it also puts all town players within reach of a scum kill. But this is about strategy and I'm proposing this. Irre's strategy of playing as usual is fine, EXCEPT WE DON"T KNOW THE RESULT OF THE LYNCH.

[oblivion]

people claiming to have been acted on

ob - confirmed by the code letter change
ut - confirmed by the code letter change
MZ - claims to have been blocked
bolero - claims that "something" happened, but it didn't affect her point count

I'm skeptical of bolero's claim. the only "something" not involving points on night 1 that we know about was the block of charlou, and the night 2 block is accounted for.

I agree with this strategy, MZ. We particularly need iffy players at 2 ASAP to give our vig something to work with. Otherwise, we'll have to guess which hit was the vig hit and try to finish the person off the next day with votes.

[oblivion]

that said, I'd be a lot more confident of cooperating with the vig if they hadn't fucked up on night 1.

[Bolero]

I'd rather not say exactly what happened to me last night (yes, that may look dodgy, but I do have my reasons), but IMO it was definitely scummy.

X-post oblivion. You're making assumptions about town roles. If charlou has protection power, then someone else has subtraction power. Therefore, there may be more than one block per night.

there was no 2nd claim of being blocked on night 1.

[Uselesstwit]

but mz, no one got 4 points last night in case you haven't gotten that yet, and also no one but people that look town to me has been hit with night points with the exception of bolero who got a whopping one point. Your theory just doesn't seem to hold up in several different ways.

[Fuzzy Fungi]

I disagree. More information helps town. Even if revealing your codeword makes you vulnerable, it doesn't matter. You're already dead.

But we know that Night 1 block didn't work because UT had points subtracted.

I don't know what revealing my codeword will do, and I'm not dead yet.

why are you so interested in the code words?
