Pair Thread Boat 6 - FluxWaveZ & Absolutbro

You can ask me whatever in full faith that I'm telling the truth, though, obviously, with what happened at the end of D2. Not gonna elaborate on my power role, other than the fact that I did commute on N1 and N2. I'd appreciate some insight in exchange.
 
Well, I was really sure Turmoil was lying from the start. Then he couldn't keep his information straight and wouldn't have known you were scum with what he claimed to have it. With Fantomas being a mason I'm leaning pretty heavy that Faddy is scum. He has to be.
 
Yeah, you being the first to question turmoil regarding the validity of his claim when you could have just waited to see how it was received if you were scum makes me lean towards trusting you, along with your opinions on Faddy right now, who definitely is leaning towards scum for me as well.

What do you think about Brazil at the end of Day 2? I had been leaning town for him for the most part, but he became surprisingly adamant about wanting to see me lynched when it came down to me vs. turmoil. Not sure what to think of that.
 
The standard play when an investigation PR throws a red flag is lynch the target, so you don't risk the investigation role. I don't necessarily trust Brazil but the move was the "right" one. I need to give that a reread though.

I'm thinking in a game this size you probably have five scum. With Turmoil having been a universal backup I have to think there are at least two other scum PRs. Possibly even three, but most likely two. If Faddy flips scum I think I would lean more town on Brazil. It just seems way to risky a move to put three scum on.
 
Fair enough. I can see it from his perspective given my reluctance yesterday, but boy did he go hard anyways.

I agree. Five scum, 2-3 PRs other than the Universal Backup. Also because I bet there's at least one neutral role involved in all this. Wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be CeeCee.
 
Yeah, I read back over Brazil and while there's nothing really concrete. Weirdly, post 2,828 is Sorian almost off-handedly saying we should kill you to check. If they had gone along and lynched you then when you flipped Not-Ordinary people would have bought that Turmoil was telling the truth. That seems pretty sketchy, but then again, Sorian may be just going with the "right" move also. Wouldn't be hard to use the playbook so to speak against Sorian or Brazil.

I dunno, one shot town day vig doesn't seem that out there to me. If there's a neutral I'd almost expect it to be Blargonaut, for theme alone if nothing else.

Really not sure if I want to just ride out the Fantomas / Faddy conversation or just go in on Faddy. I'm a little worried it would look OMGUS if I pushed him now, though I did have him as my second scum yesterday.
 
The scum team's entire plan seemed to hinge on the possibility that I was a PR, so they could push me as a priority lynch instead of turmoil, get the flip that I indeed had a PR, and thus would legitimize turmoil as an investigative role and get him off the hook for the subsequent day phases. Interesting plan. The two ways this would backfire for them is if I actually was vanilla, or if I had a way to guarantee I wasn't even targeted on N1. Too bad they fell on the latter.

Following that plan, as you point out, there'd have to be people who'd definitely want me lynched before turmoil. And both Sorian and Brazil fit into that.

I honestly don't even know what's going on with CeeCee. I can't figure it out at all, and that's kinda scary. I'd want him flipped just to alleviate this feeling of unease. We're starting to get a good amount of people who can be trusted.

For Faddy, you're not gonna see many people defending him at this point, and with how he's been acting and his end of D2 actions, I feel like the only one who'd be screaming out OMGUS would be Faddy himself. So if you want to, I don't think it'd be a reason to hold back.
 
Heh, was kinda just half paying attention to that and Kyan's conversation with Rac. I think it seems that you both fundamentally agree with what scum might have been gunning for, but he has a problem with some of the wording. It's semantics.
 
Faith in Pirate Bae has declined after that predictable N2 report. Why would a role blocker have even targeted Sorian? Definitely making me rethink my town read of her.
 
The more this goes on the more I wonder if Fran is actually scum. Turmoil's role PM spells out that he is the Mafia Universal Backup, and he gets the first Mafia power. What if Fran is the Town Universal Backup not because he is aligned with Town, but because he gets the first Town power. It would have interesting symmetry.

And the blocker would be on Pirate Bae, not on Sorian. Which might make sense, as Pirate hinted at being an alignment cop when she defended KetKat. It also makes sense they role blocked her instead of killing her, as she was the only real outed PR other than you, and you can protect yourself. They have to take the chance of a doctor not being able to protect the same person two nights in a row, so role block one night and then kill the next. You might be thinking of a Jailer, who protects another player from all actions targeted at them.
 
Yeah, I jumped to the wrong conclusion of what it meant that her investigation was apparently blocked. If that's the term then, yeah, I was thinking of a jailer. If scum has a PR that can block someone from taking action, which is likely, they'd have obviously targeted Pirate Bae. Might not have gone for the kill because she'd also be a prime target to be protected. I can buy that... for now. Not interesting to focus on it now, but for sure something to look at on subsequent phases.

So you're thinking there's a possibility scum had two backups, for town and for scum PRs? It's an interesting idea, but I don't agree with it if you're going with what his PM says. My role is a Town Commuter. I assume that your role would be similar. So Fran would have to be, like, the Mafia Town Universal Backup?

This would definitely throw us all off, but I'm not really seeing it. And I'm not even thinking about balance; don't know if it'd make sense there, either, with abilities like override or a stealth day vig. roaming around.
 
Are you going to end up voting for Faddy after all? You haven't made the push for it you were thinking about earlier. Probably best to not do it when it comes down to the wire.

Also, you don't want to bring up that point about Fran's role in the thread? I don't agree with it, but seeing what others think (mainly those who are known town) could be helpful.
 
I'm not sure if I should put forward my Fran theory now. I feel like the longer he lives the more people might be willing to listen, since at this point he's all but "confirmed" as town. Pirate Bae will almost certainly be the next to die, then Fantomas. One is an outed cop and the other is all but confirmed as town. Scum could just park the role blocker (if it exists) on Pirate Bae and hope we all grow suspicious, since it's not like there's another outed PR for to use a role blocker on.

Going to get caught up, but I think my vote is probably headed Faddy's way. His reaction to the whole Turmoil/you situation is kind of weird, and usually by now town Faddy has latched onto someone he thinks is scum.
 
Cool, I'd like to see the Faddy flip the most at this point, Fandorin second. Both I'd be alright with. This recent push for malus is super weird to me; I don't trust it.
 
It's pretty fun. As we figured, though, Faddy's flip as scum is all but confirmed at this point. Two EoDs in a row where it came down to the same gambit blowing up in their faces.
 
I'm not sure I like how Sawneeks is trying to imply I'm scum because of this mechanics business. I did bring up how BP + Commuter + Doctor could potentially be a lot, but it's looking like that's actually the case. I guarantee you scum are going to be bringing that up after Chuggs blew up to throw shade at me.
 
With 20 people left, we have a good amount of people who I believe are town now, too:
  1. FluxWaveZ
  2. Fran
  3. Fantomas
  4. Pirate Bae
  5. KetKat
  6. AbsolutBro
  7. Dr. Monkey
  8. Natiko
  9. Sorian
  10. Sawneeks (wavering)
  11. malus (maybe?)
