Scum Board: Night One/Day Two

[tld]

Sent Kill PM.

I think this plan will work better if used earlier rather than later. I just gave you at least some ingame reason to track me if you want to claim tracker instead of watcher, though I still think it's gonna be very hard to fake tracking results for the rest of the game...

Of course you can always say you are blocked. After all you outed yourself by outing me. Incidentally, your PM mentions something that these cover roles are a guarantee that these roles aren't in the game. Does this only mean there is no monkey king in the game or that there's no town tracker?

[sistercoyote]

The PM specifies none of the characters are in the game.

[billmc]

characters - but how about the roles?
tho it would be gastardly to provide a cover role that duplicated an exisitng role when that role is unlikely to be duplicated in the game
so I would think that a town watcher may actually exist

[billmc]

Well that's an interesting turn of events - only one death
either
-no town vig or pfk
-they didnt shoot
-they got blocked
equally interesting that folk think idle was hit by a vig and the scum got blocked

Patricia - I suggest you do not say anything about tld just now -- if there is no heat on him we dont need to bus him; let's see what other information town may have gained last night

[tld]

Yeah, that's a really interesting turn of ideas floating the thread. Only one kill? As town my first and only conclusion would be a scumkill. Without any other information any other explanation is just wild speculation.

Idle's claim seems to have been entirely truthful but that makes me think there are other killers around. His claimed abilities make no sense without a town vig why protection of town vs. town kill?) - I think it's more likely that they simply didn't shoot though rather than they got blocked.

[billmc]

If we got for historical precedence - it is very very rare on idlemafia that vigs hold fire - most will shoot the non participant

Plankton's assumption that it was a vig kill and scum was blocked is interesting.....I'm thinking plankton is the town watcher and saw me block jan -- he's def got suspicions of jan being scum.

SisC - would the target of a block be told they had been blocked, even if they had no action?

[tld]

Well this being my first game on idle I don't know what's usually done. The vig could have limited number of attempts though and might be saving them for later. Or he can only shoot on even nights. Though of course it's possible that Jan is the vig and you actually blocked her.

[sistercoyote]

A player who had no or took no action would not be told they were blocked.

[billmc]

So idle supposedly protected pleo, interesting choice

[billmc]

Nice to know Pleo is totally wrong in his who killed who
Tho fruit's vote on tld with no reasons may be indicative of him seeing the kill; but fruit and plankton can be watchers

Patricia my advice to you would be not to post anything for the moment -- but I see that you have your online status visible to everyone on idlemafia -- turn it off - be invisible.

[billmc]

Because your online status is visible you cant say you werent around so didnt post -- so folk can see you are lurking.


So we have a choice to make -- wait and see what transpires -- or jump in with both feet and out tld
I cant see a clear advantage in either play at the moment -- so if in doubt - stall

[patricia]

I think I should claim watcher say I know who killed Idle with out naming TLD right off and let TLD claim the kill - as some sort of vig after he claims the kill I can verify that I saw him - I also can't refer back to my breadcrumb about watching Idle this may score us both town credit for now - also I think I could be like a old night watcher I can watch bill one night then TLD again if we don't have a good cover or maybe even claim I'm gilkin watcher and can watch every third night we the other maybe having action on the night I don't

What you guys think??

[patricia]

how do I turn that off?

[billmc]

The problem with claiming watcher is if something else also visited idle - they would know you were lying


profile-edit profile-privacy; turn invisible on

[tld]

Well we can always go the tracker route... You can say I pinged you with my comments last night (which would be OMGUS but it doesn't matter) - If we go that route you have to out me, thinking I'm Mafia and I need to be lynched. Otherwise we don't gain anything from that and once one of us goes down for either reason we'll be tied together if you "confirm" me as a vig.
