Carradice: Torn between confirming someone and checking on less townie characters. Finally checked on Lifthrasil.
I was BLOCKED.
How convenient.
If scum have a Roleblocker, this would be a prudent action on their part. Let the Cop live, render him useless and enjoy the suspicion he gets for surviving. Your choice of target also makes sense, considering your voiced suspicion.
However, all of this would also work with the assumption of scum!Carradice. Cop as false-claim. You survived because you are scum and you claim to have been blocked. What makes this a bit less likely is, that there was no counter-claim. But then again, we don't even know if there is a Cop in this game. Hmm. But for now I'll assume that you are Town and work on that assumption. But that may change during the Day.
supplementscene: They run the Mafia Day and Night chat concurrently? Must get confusing.
Didn't you say that you read the rules this time?
yogsloth: I guess gogtrial picked the wrong night to stop sniffing glue
How do you know that there was glue involved? Were you there?
ZFR: I'm not saying "Carradice is Town." I'm saying we have to make a decision. If we decide carradice is scum, we lynch today. If we decide he's town, we decide he's Town today.
the latter is where I disagree. If we decide, for today, to assume that Carradice is Town, he will still be under scrutiny for the rest of the Day and the following Days. This isn't an absolute decision and it should not be. Of course, if we decide that he is scum, we lynch and that is that. But no one just gets Town-cleared for the rest of the game unless there is a Mod-confirmation or at least a read from a proven Cop or something similar involved.
trentonlf: As for Carradice, I went back and ISO'd them over the weekend and I get a big overly defensive vibe from them. If they truly are the Town Cop this makes sense as they would have been afraid of being Imprisoned Day 1 and costing Town a powerful role, and if true the bad part is scum have made The Cop role useless at this point by blocking them. But, after the ISO I'm not 100% buying into the claim. It really felt like a last ditch effort to save themselves claiming a role that they knew would save them for the day.
Or out the real Cop in the process, if one exists. I still think Carradice's defensiveness looked scummy. But I also assume that we do have a Cop. It's one of the standard rules after all. And therefore the 'no counterclaim' think makes it more likely that Carradice's claim was true. But that is only based on an assumption.
supplementscene: Vote SirMrFailRomp - I think he's town but can't
I do find people on SirMrFailRomp and Caradices wagons suspect if SirMrFailRomp flips town.
yogsloth: supplementscene: I don't think he [REFERRING TO SPF - editor] makes that claim so late as Town. I don't think he self votes if Town. And I don't think him telling me to balance the wagons he'd do if Town by trying to trick me that it would put Micro ahead when it'd be balanced.
yogsloth: @ssuplementscene
Explain how your thinking evolved here
timestamps on GOG really suck, but for me they all read "2 days ago", so they had to be pretty close together and you didn't have much in-between them
SPF is totally town -> SPF is town but I'm voting him anyway -> SPF is totally scum
in very short order
That is actually a good observation. @Scene: I would also like to have a reply to this.
But also @SMFR: what was the 'wagon balancing' supposed to achieve? A balanced votes situation at deadline would have meant a no-lynch. So what's the point of balancing wagons?
