We know one is a busser/redirector. To me that takes priority because they can potentially screw with reads. Unless mafia decided to try and sacrifice Yoshiya in order to protect their actual busser. Which I don't know how likely that is. Ill vote with town and I've seen enough to believe we have all 3 locked down. Ill vote with the rest, what's important is getting protection to Khan or stefl.

This post is a good illustration of someone who isn't really following the game. It's in the OP; it just extends the time to 24 hours if it's below 24 hours. Similarly, Nicklesbe's vote counts as two; he can't lynch two people. 

I agree with what you're saying; it's a poor example but you mentioned a few days ago that I wasn't following the thread closely enough. I then said you should follow it yourself before making judgements like that. So yeah, it's just a little difficult to keep up if there's questions littered around all the time, is all. 

It doesn't say much about being town or Mafia ofcourse. It just makes it harder to tell, which if you're town isn't a good idea. If you're Mafia it's not a terrible one.

Here's the core decision: do we believe that when I find an item, that it means scum.

We are given explicit notice if we are roleblocked, correct? If so, then it does mean Hylian is safe, and then if we believe that there are no twists to my power as i understand it (i have presented it as clearly as the rules allow), then Yoshiya is definitely scum and we should lynch.

If there is significant doubt of any of the above, then we pass to the next candidate.

Spurgeonryan has been more engaged in the game and more vocal about an impending lynch, though he has behaved that way before when he was scum. He has a clearer story about nighttime actions and his role and powers than Yoshiya does, but he has two glaring holes in his story: his claim that he saw Smeags visit me, and his claim that i did nothing last night. Both of these are possible if Prof is running an exceptionally twisted game, where the Jester could also visit people overnight just to fuck with readings, and where he plays strictly to the flavor, meaning that because i sent units out last night, i technically did not go anywhere, even though i targeted Yoshiya.

Essentially, the question of how twisted Prof is being is in play in both of these cases: are items the weapons that scum use to murder or do other dirty deeds, such that seeing one means scum, or is it up to us to analyze whether an item sounds scummy? Are the flavor posts literal in determining the effectiveness of roles and abilities, or is the game running "normally" behind the flavor-dressing?

Prof likes to overthink, and i think that he would like to make a game that would make us overthink, but ultimately would not overburden himself with a game that required HIM to keep track of crazy minutia. I have faith that the flavor is a distraction. The question is, do others?

I wonder. Could hammer invincibility stop Nickles' poisoning for the night? (meaning he gets one more day before it kicks in)

(i could unvote/revote if we're going to go for that later on)

vote:Yoshiya

Can you answer whether we are explicitly notified of a roleblock, or would that be asking too much?

No! I will not have it. Even if hammer saves me it will end up hurting town more than helping and will put valuable roles in serious danger. Stick to the logic, follow the plan and we will win. Mafia fucked up when they killed noctis and they fucked up when they poisoned me. My death will concretely confirm I am town, even tho I am confirmed now there is still room for doubt. They can say that this is some gambit of mine even tho it makes no sense. Its enough to cause doubt. So I refuse to give them more ammo. My death gives answers which is more valuable. Stefl gets hammer and protects khan. Hylian protects himself if he has anymore x-shots left then we get answers. The rest is simply mopping up. Don't over-think, don't fall victim to doubt.

you guys are new, so you're used to the games you've played. Roleblocks are either informed or uninformed, and that's all I'm going to say.

You know, I said this earlier. I really don't get why so many people are finding this hard to grasp. It's not just spurge that doesn't get what the extensions do, it's Nickles and stefl too. Really anyone voting for the extensions at this point just didn't pay attention. Except maybe Nickles, knowing him, an oversight like this might be a gambit of his.
