I think it's plausible that Jim would use a recruit on someone he thought was cult. He's very confident in his ability to control town solo.
I don't believe that I'm reading this.
Unless I have literally Maximum Spin telling me what to do I am the safest scum player. If I'm a cult leader, I do not recruit somebody I think has a good chance of being one over somebody who could, you know, help me win the game. Like ToonyMan (but actually TricMagic).
You know, you're actually right.
It would be very odd play for you to try to recruit web last night. Trying to recruit your top cultpick isn't so much bravura as mildly unhinged. And this did lower my confidence in the inspect, for all of two seconds, until I reread your post and found the specious part.
Let's rewind.
'hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm, yes, yes, yes, in my very high IQ (very high) analysis there are parts of Jim's stated claims and actions that don't make sense within the premise that he's cult, but I can still conveniently rationalize them away as needed'
Or maybe, I actually did (attempt to) inspect webadict, since I could have confirmed that he inspected as mafia and also learned his win condition, which would tell me what his alignment actually was regardless of what he inspected as.
Yeah, here's the thing. Your stated claims and actions
do make sense within the premise that you're cult. The idea that you'd convert Web may not, but inspecting him does, as you want to know who the other cult was.
Also, I suspect that as cult leader, you would
lie about your actions. This being Mafia and not Hungry, Hungry Hippos. So even if you actioned Web, claiming it was an inspect rather than something more hostile wouldn't be out of the question. But hey, it could just be an inspect.
Maybe Egan and I are wrong about the conversion attempt. But... there's nothing about your being cult that doesn't chime perfectly with your stated actions and (mechanically) safe playstyle.
It's a nice trick: pointing out that a deduction I've made from the evidence must be unsound, and declaring that I thus should not trust the evidence because I can't reconcile it with other evidence. But I can reconcile it just fine - it's the deduction that was invalid.
As I've said... Jimnosis doesn't work on everyone.
lucky number speculation
You know, if at any point anybody else wants to share what they know, I'm willing to share what I know about them.
This is a rather odd way to go about it... one shouldn't be thinking about reciprocity. If everyone should know the info, tell us, especially if it won't be revealed in your flip. If it's knowledge that should be kept out of cult hands, take it to your grave. No middle ground for town... so I guess you're openly bargaining with the other cult leader?
