I'm the Psychic Warden. I successfully blocked Magma Mater last night.

Maybe he thinks for some reason it was AnimePigeon who did that. But if so, why would he be 100% certain?

Either way, Magma cannot clear AnimePigeon, because he was blocked.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

now we're playing mafia

I'm assuming your role result indicates that you successfully blocked him rather than him having a mind shield or something like that?



Unlike yesterday I actually have to go to work today so I'll try to keep tabs on the game.

Yeah, I know. I was told that I was roleblocked last night. This is what I meant when I said I understood exactly why you thought I was mistaken. Fortunately, my results are not affected by the psychic warden.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
More out of curiosity, have we played before Salvatore? - I don't recall having done so, & if we did, I don't think it was for long.

You comment "Not specifically, but I believe from what I know of him that he would let his partner distance like that, especially since he immediately used it as an excuse to suspect me and shame other people for voting with me (hilariously)"

You also mention "I do have to point out that he sure did take my semi-joking accusations toward him d1 way too irrationally personally for a town player."

At best, your argument Day 1 for you being Good!Salvatore, consisted primarily of trying to capitalise on Imp's assessment of your play, when she was giving me her view on you as a player. You didn't try to defend yourself, atleast that's not how it came across in your language, because you seemed certain you wouldn't be Lynched (fair play you weren't), but you hadn't done any hunting that could have been used to justify your Good!Salvatore Case.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You keep attempting to push the notion of me voting you by way of "Omgus'ing", when I have not - I haven't even overreacted to you voting me, I wasn't in thread - I had (& still have) issue with your refusal to provide reasoning or explanations for your pushes, votes & your theories.

Your Day 2 has been much better than your Day 1, but that doesn't really change my mind on you, as your still dodging & evading attempts from me & others to get you to elaborate on your opinions.

I have no doubt you are as good as a player as Imp indicates, but it's very frustrating when a player refuses to give any reasoning for there perspective, yet when others give there's, you dismiss them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Given I felt (& still feel Toonyman & NQT are Good! Aligned, I have every right to suggest they vote elsewhere. I didn't order them, I didn't manipulate them, I advised them, they don't have to listen.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It really is sad Salvatore, you've jumped from Jim, Anime, Agent, Magma, Anime, Jim, Anime, Magma, Anime...

The only reasoning for any of your votes that can be inferred is that you sheep'd NQT's Vote on Agentt, when NQT pointed out it was pretty poor of Agentt to have no reasoning to vote me - yet you then voted Agentt... with no explicit reasoning?!

That is contradictory behaviour.

Just say the magic words already. I'm ignoring AnimePigeon from now on.

I've reread the role list. Magma might be a mad scientist with a surveillance system. He could have just been clear and avoided this sideshow. There's only one dopp left so clearing a town player is worth spilling your role.

Jim, Toony, Anime Pigeon is a bad pick today.

If we have @Jim the "Sneak" & @NQT the "Psychic Warden" targeting, Magma Mater - What should have happened? How should the roles have interacted?

My understanding is Jim gets told Magma didn't leave his house, which is as a result of NQT blocking Magma, but as a funny twist of events, NQT gets informed that Magma didn't leave his house?

Yeah, those were the magic words. Well, it doesn't have to be a surveillance system (only works if AP visited him), but he's claiming intelligence scientist. I don't know why he wouldn't just SAY IT though.

Still, I'm going to accept it for now. That means it's gotta be Imp or ToonyMan. (From your perspective it can still be me but it isn't me.)

@Imp:
I might know what role Magma is, sorry I didn't really make that clear earlier. It's better to be vague here.
I think you've also know what role I am too Toony! :D

I had Magma down as Mad Scientist, I think they claimed it at somepoint.

My heart wants to vote Magma so bad but Jim has denied this passion.
What if Jim's evil?

That would mean... he went to chew on Crystal while claiming to go hang out with Mater, and apparently correctly picked that Mater stayed home?

Pretty brave.

I'll trust Jim still.
What if Mater went out to chew on Crystal, and Jim lied for him?

Is there any way for that to be possible - without Jim being exactly a rogue dop (with the 1x NK) and the win with dop alignment?

Who then decided to holster N1, and decided to pick Mater out as who Jim snuck with.

That's the only series of events that makes that possible, or what did I miss?
I'm not a mod-second-guesser by nature. I just want to evaluate alignments. I don't really know if there is any other way Meph might come up with to do it. Maybe they aren't even strictly teamed; an Exterminator could have good reason to help dopps as long as he believes dopps will fall for it and not kill him before he can. Or maybe it's exactly what you said. I don't need to know that right now; I just want to know how much you trust your gut feeling that Jim is town.
The annoying thing is I like when Salvatore talks Game Theory, but there is just never any application of it to the players/seats in play.

I have no mech to back it up.  But it's very strong.  I trust me.  So I'm cool with Jim this game, because that part of me that says 'oh, this' said 'oh this time we trust Jim'.

If there's really good reason to think he's bad, that's important.

But yeah.  Purely on 'Imp feels this'.  I trust Jim.  This game.  Which is weird, but fact.
I don't think it's explicitly bad or wrong just to have a feeling or gut opinion on someone's alignment, assuming you're open to further discussion & puzzled when/should it be required.

You give your reasons for your pushes, followed by Explanations that seem rational.

Even if I could have a differing opinion with you, your able to explain your point in a way that doesn't belittle or patronise anyone, and that's a great trait!

for the record I'd rather vote Imp really, but it seems like it's gotta be one of the two, and Magma's already on ToonyMan, and NQT can block whoever we don't vote, so it works for me either way.


Seriously don't block me though, NQT. I know you can't trust me but you have to take a leap of faith.

Magma is bullshiting, they don't know AP is town for sure but are pushing this narrative because they want me dead no matter what to satisfy their ego. I just have to accept that.
