Did you tell Psycho your role? Based on what Listo told me in chat, you were not willing to share your role with Listo, so why did Psycho share his role with you unless you shared with him?

Vote: YES to execute Psycho If I am wrong, I am sorry.

I think it is likely that since the demon and minions do not have a private chat, but know who they are teamed with, they wanted to communicate the safe roles that they can claim.
I'd like to know what your logic is that the chat between Listo/Claws would cause a conflict with me revealing my role to Claws? I requested the chat with Claws so clearly I had the intention

I agree that the Demon would likely be contacting their partners to share safe claims, but in that world we'd probably be looking for someone who was messaging a lot of people or might have started a chain of messages that could relay information

And the thing is YOU'RE the one other than maybe Grumpy who was prompting the most private chats

So I can't help but wondering if you're projecting the actual Demon/Minion strategy and claiming Librarian because it's one of your safe claims
 
Yeah, my issue with 3pups is it feels like he's been doing the most role-fishing. Blind arguably did the same by asking for a mass claim but A) Blind wasn't forceful about it and B) The unprompted washerwoman reasoning after the fact made sense. He then changed tact and was like "1 of these 4 is a town role, two of them I know it's between for sure" and that just comes off like town trying to adjust and adapt rather than scum with a gameplay.

3pups on the other hand has felt very slimey on reread and like he's constantly trying to figure out everyone's roles. The early Librarian claim is like fine but also not very provable in a simple way. He's been messaging people, and then had really bad logic to come to a "Hell" yes in voting me.

Vote: I nominate 3puppies
 
I'll say I don't know that I still buy into the MTR kill being intentional, and the fact he hasn't even popped in to claim or anything DOES make me wonder if he was scum that had a redirected kill onto him, so 3pups as demon might not have killed MTR on purpose or for his role. But also 3pups as demon might have tried to communicate with MTR to share info
 
I thought that the drunk is not necessarily given false information, other than what their role might be. The information given to the drunk will be consistent with the role they think they have, but it may or may not be true. So not sure how we could test for sure, depending what you can share.

I have a reasonable idea as to what role you think you might have. I'd like to chat in private with you, Xanjori, to "confirm" if you are what I think you've maybe hinted at. I may be way off.

I would also like to chat with Matthieu, the only remaining person I don't have a town role for - there are a few options, as there are 15 town roles and only 11 players

After that, the challenge is to figure out if I have the roles I guessed right, and then, figure out who is lying.
Sure Im down to chat

Wait in this setup can you explain why role fishing is unlikely to come from non-evils? Because from what I am seeing here a lot of people are trying to solve based on setup

Trying to solve based on set-up is one thing. Going out of your way to message a bunch of people to find out their roles feels less likely trying to solve and more like trying to either figure out what other people's roles are or possibly reaching out to your partners to share info about claims

This makes no sense, you nominated him. Why would you ever vote something that isnt yes?
Because I'm leaving room to be wrong and also for MTR to potentially claim something that might change my mind. I don't expect it to be much which is why I said it's probably a year

What do YOU think about 3pups?
 
What do YOU think about 3pups?
Right now I find your push on him highly suspicious tbh, like yes technically you could be right but doesnt it seem a bit too obvious for the evil to just be announcing in thread that theyre looking for all the roles and trying to solve everyones role? I feel like you should have considered this and you've not

He may have been fishing for roles, but he did claim Librarian relatively early on D1. Id have to go back and see if or who had asked for chats before that moment... but he did claim a town role and out info that one of 2 people could be drunk.

This could be a safe-ish claim for scum... but i do see you initial reasoning.
 
@3puppies I see no reason for you to not reveal MTR's role. He is dead and that info is better for town to know then not know.

@MTR You can still chat, even though dead... anything to add? Who do you think killed you? Did you chat with anyone and give them your role aide from 3pups?
 
We need to hear more from NQM, Listo, Matt, Psycho as a whole. I know Psycho has come in a bit more (since the nomination)

Town needs to share information to narrow down the baddies. I sure we have a couple claimed town that have not shared what they know.

From what I remember, 3pups is a pretty bold scum who uses his tendency to focus on mech as a way to manipulate the narrative. Even if it's too obvious to some, it doesn't mean there aren't people who won't try it. You're assuming I haven't considered it and honestly your reaction to me about this kinda feels like you might be running defense for pups.

It's also not just the role-fishing, I said the way he voted me also felt slime-y and the general way he's approached the game has felt less like "let me solve the puzzle" and more like "give me all the information"

My thing with the the Librarian claim is that if he's the demon, he'd know it's a safe claim, so it wouldn't matter how early.

And of all the roles to claim, it's one that's easy to fake info because the drunk never knows they're a drunk until they somehow get false info that they know is false

And if Xan or CWE is scum, it's even better cover

(I currently don't feel like CWE is scum)

I agree with librarian as an easy claim as scum...

However, with the information ive received, the only way 3pup is scum, is if the team is 3pup, grump, claws... and the info shared to me by Claws was an outright lie.

While this is not impossible, the amount of tinfoil i'd need would be astronomical
 
Psycho, your nomination of me is pure OMGUS! I feel stronger about you than I did before, because if you are town, you are 100% wrong in your read about me and my role.

Plus, you know very well that I am away weekends doing all my couponing stuff, and I don't have access to discord on weekends. Trying to take me out on a weekend stinks. Thankfully, in this game, even if I am taken out by misyeet, or by night action, I will still be able to post my analysis even after death, so I will be able to throw my two cents in whether you like it or not.

The HUGE point that you are missing is that the mod is giving some/MOST of us the correct information. The game starts at N1, so ONE person might be given incorrect info because of the poisoner (if that role is even active in this game), and if ONE person is the drunk, well even the drunk has a 50% chance of getting correct information - except about their own role. And if there is no poisoner, or if the poisoner has holstered, there's a possibility that the only incorrect information out there from the mod is what was role given to the drunk.

There are 11 players, including 3 evils and one outsider, so let's figure on 8 town roles. If 4-5 of these got information, only two have publicly shared their information so far.

I am certain about my own role, as I said, unless I am actually the drunk myself, because if I was poisoned, my role would be true, just the info I got might be suspect. I am uncertain of your role as well as Matthieu's. A couple others I have penciled in, not written in ink.
I am clearly trying to solve, and I figured the best thing I could do was to share the info that I had. I wanted people to be fair warned about any info they get from either of the potential drunks, especially as with the setup info we were given, there's only one outsider, the drunk takes that spot. Others have shared info with me, and I have put it together to come up with what I believe may be the role assignments - except for you and Matthieu. I get that some of these may be lies.

I fully believe that MTR was town, and was the direct target based on process of elimination. The demon knew who had claimed (2), and who was on his side (2, well 3 including himself), and the potential outsiders (2). MTR mentioned that he would have shared info but his role did not have information he could share. By saying this, I think MTR made himself a target, and I even told him this in our own private chat. The implication to me was that MTR's role was important later on. I don't want to give the demon the satisfaction of knowing who they took away. Certainly not after I had told MTR I wouldn't disclose it.

I freely admit that I want to "solve" everyone's claimed role, but just because I am perhaps a bit more vocal about figuring out most of the claimed roles, doesn't mean I have solved the hard part - which is who is lying. Town needs to share info to do this.

If I actually had info I would have been more than willing to share it lol. I also would have been around more today but at work I started feeling ill and have been sleeping more or less all day -.- Hopefully I'll be around more this next phase since it should coincide with my days off.
 
Now that it is past 12:30 am EST, I am relieved that I have not been executed.

I didn't want to bring up the point, while I was on trial, but I was wondering why my nomination went through while Claw's nomination, of xan, I think it was back in post #181, was not considered next, before psycho?

Xan has given me a plausible town claim, and he has been identified by me, the librarian, as a possible drunk. While Xan is a possible evil, I don't think we should be looking at him at this point. Sorry Claws.

We started at 11 players, with 3 evil and 1 outsider, but the outsider should be considered town-aligned. So call it 8-3. We lost MTR, so we are at 7-3 now. If we don't yeet, and evil kills again tonight, we could be at 6-3.

But we have the possibility of losing another town to the virgin, which if followed by another demon kill, could very quickly make it 4-3. So while we aren't there yet, we will need to start executing soon or we can be in trouble shortly - while we only need to take out the demon to end the game, if the demon is killed while the scarlet lady is in the game, I think she becomes the demon from that point on.

For that reason, I would consider nominating pscyho again, especially because of his over-reaction OMGUS attack on yours truly. But because of the earlier apathy, I am thinking elsewhere.

I think it is safer for a town person with a role that will no longer gain information to make the future nominations. The town roles that could gain more information should avoid nominations because of the potential virgin at large.

I don't want to nominate NQM, because I think she is most likely the virgin. Based on LDG's earlier (over)reactions when she's been accused of being scum just for not actively inter-acting with the rest of us, I could VERY easily see Foxxi assigning her this role. It is a relatively powerful role because of the info we could learn, but it does not require a lot of interaction.

Similarly, Listo has shared info with me that seems plausible as well.

I would rather we look at the only other person I don't have info about - it may make me a jerk like Grumpy's math - but what the hell, I will

Vote: Nominate Matthieu
 
I didn't want to bring up the point, while I was on trial, but I was wondering why my nomination went through while Claw's nomination, of xan, I think it was back in post #181, was not considered next, before psycho?

I assume the While someone is being voted up (nomination up and open), any other nominations are null and void. Since we can only have 1 nominated at a time.
 
For that reason, I would consider nominating pscyho again, especially because of his over-reaction OMGUS attack on yours truly. But because of the earlier apathy, I am thinking elsewhere.
Can't nominate same person twice in a day. I would vote on Matt but I don't know if that nomination started and day ends in like an hour?

So you privately got roles from MTR Xan and Listo and you only miss LDG and Matt?

I don't think it is likely that Matt is the virgin here, but depending if he gets nominated or not this could be his virginty test.
 
Day Three New
Dawn rises and finds the mangled corpse of Grumpy floating in the town fountain.

Announcement: The chat system is being adjusted. Again. Each player may send me up to three messages to give to a chosen recipient. It will be reported in the end of day post who sent messages to whom. (All three messages do not have to be to the same person.)

It is now Day Three
Day Three deadline: Tuesday October 8th 8:30am est​

RIP Grumpy.

Grumpy claimed to me that he was the Empath, and said that neither me nor Claws are evil. He told me this before he and Claws had their own private chat.

I had wondered about the chance Grumpy and Claws were perhaps in cahoots, or if Grumpy had been poisoned, in which case the false info might have been that Claws was not nice. If Grumpy had been poisoned, then he still would have been given his role before the game play started, so based on his death, I am confident he was telling the truth.

Town needs to share information, and there are roles out there which have not shared.

@Foxxi , can you please clarify the amended again private chat rules? We can chat a total 3 times, but does that include dead players? I would like a private chat with Grumpy and MTR, but not necessarily if both count against my 3 in total. And does the private chat still end after 1/2 the day phase? I presume we request the private chat on our private discord channel? How will we know someone has requested a private chat with us?

@GrumpyCat and @MTR , do either of you want to respond publicly? It would potentially save me one of my 3 chats.

To be fair, this adds up with Grumpy going so hard to protect you, so I'm willing to take a step back and assume I was completely off-base on you

Not sure who I look at next, curious if Claws can verify

So you feel fine outing Grumpy's claim and role... but not MTR's

Im sure Grumpy didnt want you to share his info either.
 
If a player wishes to send the same message to multiple people it will count as one message. You may send a total of three messages. There is no longer a time restriction as long as it is during the day phase.

There will be no made chat channels, I will copy/paste your message and tell your recipient who it is from.
 

@CWE, you had privately shared your role to me - which I suspected was not true because my role identified you as a possible drunk. I made the mistake of not writing down everything we had shared, and I didn't realize the chats would disappear. At the time, I also hadn't realized that the drunk's info may actually be true - other than the role itself.

I had specifically told MTR that I would not reveal his information. Grumpy had told me that he had shared his info with someone else so I thought it was okay to share it, as it would be helpful to everyone.

What do you want to know? I'm an open book.

Want my will?

Its...interesting.
 
Since we are not allowed to chat, we will have to send long private messages. I trust you to share what you have, @CWE, but Iet me send you what all of my suspicions are about everyone (living and dead), so in addition to your will, you might comment on my thoughts about roles

What am i verifying
Can you verify if Grumpy told you his role as empath? If so, it clears both you and me as not being evil, unless Grumpy was poisoned
 
Grumpy claimed to me that he was the Empath, and said that neither me nor Claws are evil. He told me this before he and Claws had their own private chat.
I never had a private chat with Claws and yes I got both nerighbours are not evil on night 0 and 1. Didnt get anytthing last night. Kill has priority.
 
Lol nice kill. One of 3 players that had nothing to indicate they could have been town.
Nope not a good kill. I was the Monk.

Sorry for being MIA but upper respiratory infection kicked my ass for days. Just now getting around to seeing what I missed.
 
I think we are at a point where anyone with information needs to come forward and share said information. From that, we can start eliminating people from town... or locking in people we feel are town.

I guess if there are still some investigative roles that know how many pairs of evil red herrings there are it would be right time to do so.
Otherewise it will change to an intense guessing game ;D
 
Its unlikely she's the demon. Town win by removing the demon. Only caveat would be if we lynch the demon with >5 players alive and there is the scarlet women in play. Then we might have to revisit NQM.

We demon hunting boys!!!

N1... Claws and 3pups. Both inno...

N2...Psycho and Nightmare Queen Miko. Both inno.

N3...Matthieu and Listo. Both inno.

Remaining alive unchecked

Xanjori
Blind Ninja

Dead unchecked

MTR
Grumpy

All that's left...

...

Unless I'm the drunk...then
:squint: :panic:
 
We havent seen/heard any other outsiders claim, so the likelihood of baron is low. So 1/3 minions have N/As that can influence us.

Meaning poisoner and/or scarlet woman are more likely

Or, you could have been poisoned on any or all of these nights.

And don't forget that BN has claimed to be washerwoman

I have convinced myself that Foxxi assigned NQM the role of the virgin. In other games, Foxxi has admitted to trying to figure out LDG, as her reaction to being accused of being scum when she's not, is often an overreaction.

Listo shared his role with me. Xan hinted and I think I figured it out

I am more likely looking at Matthieu.
 
I trust Claws and 3pups are not evil, based on grumpy's role.
I trust CWE based on conversation and info given.
I believe MTR was town based on being the n1 kill.
I know Im town based on role, but can see why people would vote/nominate me based on CWE's information
 
The fun with the drunk. the mod could still give 100% true information. That info doesnt have to be a lie. If it is a lie, then any 1 of the innocent in CWE's listo could be the demon or red herring

Why are you leaning Matt over Listo, Xan, or anyone else?
 
And if CWE is the drunk, there is no red herring. I just re-read the Fortune Teller role - if there is a red herring, it is a good player who appears to the FT as the demon. The FT does not see the demon as good.
 
I think there's a very small possibility that we have a mayor, and either MTR or Grumpy was the (first) demon and was taken out and replaced by the Scarlet lady as second demon
 
So you think, given the role of librarian and know that the drunk is in play... that you could potentially be the drunk?

Since I was told the drunk is in play, unless I was poisoned which could mean anything, the drunk is in play. I was given the librarian role, which would mean I would find out the role of one of two players.

But if I was actually given the drunk, then I could have been given any information, true or false.

So I cannot exclude the possibility that I am the drunk.

Even though I just love the idea that Foxxi gave CWE the drunk role.

Unless there is poisoner that is not LDG that got CWE come night?
But that makes you or Xan demon ;p

EBWOP, I think this does mean that the Drunk cannot be anyone other than me, Xanjori, or CWE, but I am not 100% sure as I might be a poisoned librarian, but that would mean the poisoner exists, AND that I would have to have been the one targeted.
