Found it.

Hmmm.

So you say your role titles are exactly the same. He got to remake his ability every night. But yours was a one time deal?

Yours could ita and vote and post? Whereas his could just shoot.


Hmmm
 

rac

also if im scum why would i leave ynnek alive he's been scumreading my role for awhile now and is confirmed town

It's a question as to why Ynnek7 has been left alive throughout this entire game at all. But, with Nights 4 & 5 only having one kill, it's possible that one of those nights was an attempted (and failed) kill onto him. If I had to venture a guess, I think the other night may have been an attempted (and also failed) kill onto Blarg as well, since he never gave out the specific name for his role nor the amount of times he could use it. It would explain my confusion as to why scum took so long to kill Blarg, at least.

The day kills from Day 5 onwards targeted NeckToChicken, Geno, and Brazil, all players who were strongly considered to be town and either had a good PR or very active. I can see killing Ynnek7 being less of a kill priority as the game dragged on due to his low activity.

It’s almost as if you had a lot of tough kills you would have to get through as scum. Figuring out who’s is scum based off who is getting killed is always my least favorite way of scum hunting as it’s most prone to wisdom any how
 
OK, with less than 4 hours to go, we need to come to a consensus soon. A tie would obviously be very bad here.

OK... OK... here I go. Deep breaths...

Vote: rac

If rac is lynched, is not scum, and the day kill still doesn't happen, I'm willing to shift my ranking between Fandorin and Ynnek7 for tomorrow since no one seems to agree with me thinking Ynnek7 is possibly more scum. Remember, we need to be in this thread precisely when the next day starts and immediately hammer the vote. That's literally the only way we can potentially win this tomorrow.

Hm idk this is starting to feel more ponderous. I really think we need to get this one right and not count on having a second chance tomorrow.

Come on rac convince me it’s not you.

i used my power to vote include and shoot natiko
i shot at extreme put him as my top scum and he folded
while i was questioning coolest he called me an asshole, look at that exchange and try and tell me that was scum/scum
 
rac, why did you lean over for a Polter lynch over mine?

I’ve read your exchange with Kawl but don’t get it. I said before that the discussion would be focused on the power role claims and that would be a mess, but that’s what seems to have happened here in the end.
 
I can’t get a read if that debate was a tired scum mad at the end game or just pissed off town for getting set up as the lynch. Talk this through.

Scums been bussing like some mofos this game esp with ita shots. But what days were the et and coolest thing? I’ll reread rhose

I agree, but we also need to have a backup plan in case things don't go our way. We can't head into tomorrow thinking we'll have time to discuss things when we actually won't. I'm not willing to lose this one without a fight after coming this far.

I do find it a little interesting that you put ET as top scum but that was the day you self voted and threatened to self ita the day after. But looking st the vote break down that day fandorin did come in and help seal the deal on ET during the day end fuckery but I imagine that could simply have been not wanting to stack 3 scum on the same train to save one this late. Scum would want to split votes and fandorin is the only unknown that voted ET that day in my eyes.

That exchange between you and coolest does read genuine.

I think it’s fandorin guys.
 
For archiving purposes, here are all the Lone Stranger posts (I had to manually find these because you can't search for him):

Vote: Include

Howdy Partner: Natiko

Vote: Nomad Sparkster

Vote: nzjubjub

Vote: rac

Vote: Blargonaut

Vote: alexem
 
Something bothers me about the Lone Stranger bit. I think this was the catalyst to Blarg's role claim. Lone Stranger's vote on Blarg made everyone immediately suspect Blarg as the Lone Stranger, which ultimately led to that debacle of a lynch between him and Alexem and Blarg claiming being the BP giver.

rac, why did you allow a situation like that to happen?
 
Lol at rac just leaving.

EoD are always a fun ride, I guess.

ET was always a scum read for me and I backed that up since the beginning. I was at the start of the vote and shot at him twice before that. Scum also needed him alive that day since they’d get another kill that night with his ability. I can’t see scum splitting votes in a situation like this, especially since it was a close lynch even so.

I do read Coolest interaction with rac as sincere, I doubt he’d get pretend to be that upset. Point is that doesn’t say much about his alignment. CS is already known for doing his own thing whatever the team thinks about it, point being his sucidial run at ITA during D6.
 
And, well, this is probably less serious, but that "Howdy Partner" for the ITA shot is so ridiculously on-the-nose I'm questioning whether it's a serious call-out to Natiko being a scum partner. I don't think something like that is worth mulling over, though.

He explained that already this phase. I think he said that he wanted to create some distance between him and the Lone Stranger.

Eh I don’t think getting one additional kill is worth selling the whole farm on a town v scum lynch especially when he for sure would have gotten ita’d and flipped the next day. Too much egg one basket

Yeah, but he put our BP Giver under the bus by doing so. I understand that no one knew what Blarg's role was at the time but it still bothers me.

He also pretty much gave up on keeping his role a secret almost immediately the next day once the Lone Stranger died. The question I want answered is why he kept it secret to begin with if he was going to just give away his role like that so easily. It's not like we were given new information off of it; we already knew there was a jailer based off of what Lux told us. Maybe it was a way to avoid a potential counterclaim since NeckToChicken can confirm what happened, but baiting a counterclaim would have greatly benefited town at that point.

i didnt think that blarg being scumread was because of being thought as the lone stranger

@Ynnek7 has died

Welcome Ynnek7,

You are Blade. True Identity Eric Brooks.

Your role is Town Ascetic Heartthrob.

You have no active abilities but you are immune to all actions except for killing abilities. In addition, you seem to have caught the attention of a secret admirer. Each night, you may receive information directly from them.

You win when all threats to town are eliminated

That was a backup plan. We absolutely shouldn't make that our main way of doing this. ._.

We have ~2 hours to find the last scum. We should use this time wisely.
You’re the only dude I’m going to listen to here. Which way you leaning. Need to know what you’re thinking

OK, it's definitely not you, so there's that.

Let's go over Fandorin again. The thought of him playing too well did cross my mind. A lot of things he/Xbro talked about we so accurate to the point of it being weirdly coincidental. He also has the best voting/ITA record out of all of us. The day killing ability, if not a factional thing, could also only reasonably fall onto him.

...But this is just WIFOM at this point. He's been so consistent at being town this entire game that I just find it hard to believe he's scum. I'd seriously be completely flabbergasted if he does turn out to be the last scum and I wouldn't even be mad if he wins because of it.
 
I guess another point against Fandorin is that he did try to take the strong shot in the Greed event. Brazil took that in order to make sure scum didn't get it. Maybe Fandorin thought the same but it could also mean that Brazil protected us from a Fandorin strong shot.
 
I’m really packed here at work, but I think my contributions this game are backed with previous reads and interactions I’ve had with everyone. I took shots at Nomad and faircure and I also mislynched along the way, but I think I did pretty good for a sub in trying to keep up with the rhythm of the game.
 
I’m completely against it at this point. I even though it was a bad backup plan then.
I wouldn't say it was a bad plan at all. After all, we got another day kill, meaning scum was not willing to risk taking that chance tomorrow. I dunno if my plan caused it or not, but I'd like to think it influenced them.

Scum gives up one ability to have a shot at two of those things. They don’t give up Spots shit for a shot st one item i don’t think
 
...Huh, that's a really good point! CoolestSpot giving up his permanent, disruptive ability for a chance at a one-time use item makes no sense unless more than one scum entered along with him.

Let me look over CoolestSpot's PM again.
 
Welcome CoolestSpot,

You are Nick Fury. True Identity Samuel L. Jackson.

Your role is Mafia Commander. You may use the command COMMAND:<playername> along with a letter A, B, C, D, or E. The letters correspond to the following:

A: You may not cast a vote for a player currently in the lead or tied for the lead.

B: You may not let X die (where X is a player of your choosing). This stipulation starts the following day so if X dies in the same night that you use this command then it will be wasted.

C: You may not use a command on a town-aligned player (excluding public commands like ITAs)

D: You may not be the second highest vote leader at day end

E: You may not have no votes on yourself at day end

If the player disobeys their order, they will be killed immediately regardless of current protection. They will not be allowed to reveal that they are being forced to play in a certain way. You may only issue each order once.

You may also use the command KILL:<playername> once per night to execute the mafia factional kill. Your target will be killed assuming they have no form of protection. You may use both your individual ability and the factional ability in the same night, if applicable.

You win when the mafia team outnumbers all other players.

He gave up this for a chance at getting one item? That... doesn't make any sense to me. He still had at least 3 more commands to give out by the time the event happened on Day 3.
 
I can completely buy that he gave that up if that confimed his role and gave him soft town creed for the rest of the game. What doesn’t make sense is his attitude after the event, with the unbased GROOT thing and the random shots at me later.

Huh, never really took a chance at reading his role PM before. I think that second command might be why nin died with kyan with the first day kill. It even explicitly says that it will start taking effect at the next day phase.

Well, that's the thing. It could be that gaining town cred was not the primary reason he did what he did for that event, which would make his actions afterwards less confusing.
 
Man, I love it that rac just disappeared. At this point I wouldn’t be mad if Polter turns out to be the last scum, but rac leaving is kinda getting to me.
 
I just can't believe he would intentionally nerf himself like that without a good chance at gaining something in return. If I was Coolest, I would have just let a townsperson give up their life/ability. Town cred is not enough of a reason, especially with the way he acted the days afterward. With him + another scum in the event, however, they stood a chance at gaining something.
 
Well, that's the thing. It could be that gaining town cred was not the primary reason he did what he did for that event, which would make his actions afterwards less confusing.
But he did get town creed for what he did and then squandered it. No one was even pushing for his lynch later when he got shot, he just decided to implode then.

Also, revisiting the thread and the best reward for scum there, the strong kill, wasn’t even close to his role either way, since those are practically 5 situational strong kills.

He didn't aim for the strong kill, he blocked town from getting a 1-time cop item.
 
Oh well, I hate playing defensively and I don’t think trying to figure out what Coolest thought is a fun thing to do. I can’t reconcile rac’s passiveness as scum with this situation, but I don’t think I should even entertain scum!Kawl or Polter anymore.

Fandorin has died

Welcome Fandorin,

You are Ant-Man. True Identity Hank Pym.

Your role is Mafia Day Vigilante. You may use the command KILL:<playername> once per day phase starting on day 2. The command must be given after the first ITA phase begins and before the final ITA phase ends. Your target will be killed assuming they have no form of protection. Should you be lynched on day 1, you will be allowed to make a retaliation strong kill by posting the command RETALIATE:<playername> publicly on the main game thread.

You may also use the command KILL:<playername> once per night to execute the mafia factional kill. Your target will be killed assuming they have no form of protection. You may use both your individual ability and the factional ability in the same night, if applicable.

You win when the mafia team outnumbers all other players.

As his last champion fell, Thanos looked on in silence.

"A good game. And as your reward, I'll keep you on as top lieutenants in the Endless Resurgence."

For the final time, Thanos held the cosmic cube above his head. It's light radiated like never before.

"It's time to take control of this universe and all the rest."

As the cube shined bright, once again, the center of the or it lacked any light of it's own and at the pivotal moment that all of the energy would have transferred into Thanos' body, he could feel that something was wrong. Unbeknownst to Thanos, Reed Richards hadn't fully succumbed to his control. There was one small piece of his will that remained intact and that piece of him was able to sabotage one small process in the re-creation of the cosmic cube. A "cut-out" was made that could be removed by another strong of will and that is what Dr. Strange had done what felt like an eternity ago. Distracted by fear of the Eye of Agamotto, Thanos didn't notice the simpler solution that had been employed. Before Strange died that day, he had transferred out the core of the cube. Not enough to stop its power completely, but enough to cause a misfire if its full power was harnessed.

As Wolverine, Gambit, and Storm looked on, the terror that had threatened to consume them, faded away into a thin dust, the cube having one final violent reaction before disappearing as well.

Earth would remain at peace that day but at a great cost.

Storm looked up, the most shaken of them all.

"The only way to fix this is with the infinity stones."

The three of them looked at each other. A heavy duty now thrust upon them and the world's villains waiting in the wings for just this opportunity.

Welcome Kawl,

You are Gambit. True Identity Remy LeBeau.

Your role is Town Buffed ITA Shooter and BP. You do not have any active abilities but during ITA sessions, you have a 50% chance to hit instead of the normal base rate.

You will also survive the first non-strong kill made against you.

You win when all threats to town are eliminated.

Welcome rac,

You are Storm. True Identity Ororo Munroe.

Your role is Town NPC Creator. Starting Day 2, you may PM the gamerunner the command RECRUIT ONCE to create an alternate account. The alternate account is allowed to vote and make ITA shots but may not post any type of commentary. Should you die, you may continue to act through your NPC with the same restrictions. Your NPC can be targeted by other player’s actions and suffers a 5% penalty to outgoing ITA shots and has a +5% chance of being hit from other player’s ITAs.

You win when all threats to town are eliminated.

Welcome Poltergust,

You are Wolverine. True Identity James Howlett.

Your role is Town Death Faker. You may, once during the day phase, use the command FAKE to appear to be dead to the game. It will be announced that you have died but no role flip will be given. At the beginning of the next day, you will return to the game as if nothing happened. During the time of your “death,” you may not post or be targeted by any actions. The only time you may not use this command is during an ITA.

You win when all threats to town are eliminated.

Town has won the game!
