Yes, I was ice cream man, and yes, I wanted to reduce the power of the best players. I suppose you are a role that gets rid of any role of a person who targets you?
DA: I still don't trust you and think that you're a cultist, but we've got more important things to do for now. Such as lynch mafia (or cult leader). Both of which you aren't (unless of some cult leader role that passes to the newest convert.) So Unvote.
Everyone: I'd like to know if someone can get rid of NQT's Shakerage Shenanigans role. Don't tell us how if you don't want to - you may have reasons for hiding it AKA might tell scum too much. Anyone?
Speaking of roles that stop people from winning: TDS. Very inactive. Dropped a 'Who can get rid of roles?' question, which if he'd been paying attention he'd know Shakerag did. Before that, remarked on me and DA early, before most others. Thought I was Jester at first, meaning he's not paying attention again.
An alignment cop would likely be town in this instance, as the scum know who the town is so wouldn't need to inspect others.Shakerag picked alignment cop in the last game as a cover. Doesn't mean he couldn't have been scum.
NQT: what's with the loaded questions?What's loaded about any of the questions?
Hector, say I'm a cop, would you like it if I inspected you?
Deus, would you be more threatened by a player who claimed to a have a reactive role or a proactive role (i.e. a role that does something to people targeting them, vs. a role that targets people)?
Persus, Shakerag claims to have a goo role. Do you think goos will be popular?
And what if the mafia don't kill? Yeah, they didn't kill that night, but if they have an active role they can use it (thus also gaining some honesty points if/when it's role claim time) and there's more often than not at least one town killing role to do their dirty work for them. On top of that, if your role is in any way useful why would you want to lose it to someone you don't know the alignment of?I need to clear myself now? Also this is a terrible plan. Who's to say that whomever is king mafia will deliberately choose not to kill tonight? Or gets roleblocked? Or I get roleblocked/redirected/etc.?We all need to clear ourselves. It's the game. And yeah there's a lot of things that could snag this. But I'm offering you a way to move forward. Assuming you don't target OSG for no reason, there's only a 1/5 chance you'll hit the scum. 4/5 chance you'll hit town. I'm saying, target me, steal my role. It'll be worth your trouble if you're town. You'd know if I tricked you into targeting me for !FUN! because you'd have my role! And if scum wastes a turn not killing or redirecting/blocking you... that's great! It's a win/win. If you don't steal my role, I'm not going to say "you must be scum", so mafia disrupting you would be pointless.
Not to mention that you could lie about losing your role D2 and/or you have some ability that makes ‼fun‼ for those who target you.
My two cents? You're trying to bait targeting so you can pull some nifty trick. I just have to figure out motive, and a good long look at the role list may prove enlightening. I'll be back later.
hector13:It probably wouldn't.
Multitude of questions:
Should a particular answer to any question change my play, though? (beyond "okay, this answer makes me think they're [alignment] so I'll [action based on that assumption]")
Why do you think that because OSG chose this particular role, that he's that particular alignment?
Assume you are correct in your that OSG targeted you for the reasons you stated. Why do you think he targeted you as opposed to one of the other "strong" players like 4mask or NQT?
I like your claim. How do you think it will affect the other players?
If it wouldn't change your play, then why ask the question?
Why do you think that because OSG chose this particular role, that he's that particular alignment?2 - Ask me this again after OSG responds.
3 - I have a better win/loss ratio than either of them1. Clearly I am the bigger force to be reckoned with.
Well, if your ability was Ice Cream Man, then that was me. So, scumbag, trying to target the stronger players first to ensure they lose their abilities so as to make your odds of winning better?
hector13: Let's pretend OSG said what his ability was right away. How would that information change your play?
Hector, say I'm a cop, would you like it if I inspected you?
*Checks something in thread*
*Facepalms*
...so much for that meta-assumption. I missed the mundane because I was looking for the special.
Never mind.
y'know the more i think about the parallels there the more it seems right"I'm not a witch!"
"Well that's just your opinion"
In a field there was a coo.Culise confirmed for William McGonagal.Oh God, imagine skull-fucking a moray eel - those pharyngeal jaws would be nasty...When of your dong you're divest, and it's left to digest, that's a moray.
you lost before you even started!
Fair enough.And technically I could have chosen to be a nexus just to fuck with you all. Doesn't mean I did it.Roles aren't connected with alignment. He also doesn't have the ability no more. Technically not role fishing if he doesn't actually have it.Better question: what was your ability?Even better question: why are you role fishing already?
