GamezRanker: That said, my point was/is (in part) that Yog's "claim post"(i.e. Post 347) seemed to be "riding the coat tails"(correct phrasing?) of Dogmaus's claim(Post 300) and Catte's claim(iirc Post 304)...sort of what a scum might do to blend in and gain town points.
Everybody is a psychoanalyst. You had your PM (both of them), Lift's Post 20 claim, Dogmaus' claim, and Catte's claim to establish a pattern before Yog's claim. Some of the rest of us didn't see Lift's Post 20, but there's enough of a pattern established to reach the conclusion without much effort.
At this point, the only living player that hasn't explicitly claimed to be psychoanalyst (I believe; I haven't double checked) is Pooka.
Hey Pooka! You're a psychoanalyst too, right? "Yep!" Thanks man!
There, see? Everyone is a psychoanalyst. Yog's video was alluding to the clearly emerging pattern.
It is a pretty safe assumption that everybody also has one or more hidden modifiers. Scum will have them because they have scum traits, and town will have them because otherwise we'd all be cops and that's no fun.
PookaMustard: Could be possible microfish only got "networked" as the correct qualifier too, and yogsloth is part of a bizzaro masonteam of psychoanalysts.
Let's put this to rest, shall we? Would Yog's Networked Partner please verify?
It isn't me.
PookaMustard: So microfish may not necessarily be right about yogsloth, that is ignoring other concerns like why only his action has reportedly worked so far.
Here's some fishing for working powers, and I'm not biting. I investigated, but the result of my attempt can stay under wraps considering the current game state. That just leaves you, Pooka. Since you're fishing anyway, do you care to share?
Lifthrasil: About your 'imaginative' speculation with networked being the true read, don't you think that Yogs would have said so by now, if he were Mason?
PookaMustard: I think there's more to be gained by not spilling the beans. Otherwise he'll be asked to name his mason and have his mason confirm. So it is still reasonable within speculation that yogsloth held that back.
Especially when you consider that the Mafia team aren't explicitly named "Mafia" but are defined by the combo of the two separate roles Networked and (Murderous or Brutal), so it wouldn't be farfetched to see Networked in a standalone role for Masons...or heck, even Murderous for weird psychoanalyst-vigilante hybrids.
So based on all of this, Micro v. yogsloth could still be Town Violence, but there's a more realistic chance of scum among them than IMO dogmaus vs. ZFR (who both flipped "Town" anyway).
You're speculating that Yog might be a Town Mason (which we can easily get verified by having his partner claim Mason too). That means Micro being Imaginative gives 2/All true results and 1 false result, and he just happened to get the one result that would mark Yog as scum.
I'd love to get all Networked claims on the board so they can be investigated by anyone who lucks into by-passing their fail condition. Scum would have a vested interest in avoiding such a claim because it outs the team if either one fails.
Your alternative speculation is that Yog might a killing role, and therefore Threatening, therefore scum.
