Return Of The Darkness Upick - Game Over - well that happened i guess

I’m probably heading to sleep soon

does anyone have anything they want to talk about with me before I do that

uhhh

i had a witty comment but then i realized it probably wasn’t actually witty cause i remembered a post you made earlier

so no, good night

Despite me being a “General PoE-y slot” pushing a “PoE-ish slot that is generally a Strong Villager”, nobody has followed me on Arete. If they were a Villager, wolves could easily get Arete ML’d and pin the blame on me.

Summary

Literally not even Marshal has followed me, which does not help the fact that I think they could be W/W.

Regarding Arete’s claim

It’s probably too random to ever be a fakeclaim, but I feel like “Cop that checks how close people are to being a Chronomancer” is more likely a Wolf role than Town.

Why is that?

Ahem

Which of the following scenarios do you think is more likely:

a) Marshal is a Villager, and Mafia attacked Chloe because they did not believe Marshal’s claim.

b) Marshal is a Wolf, and Mafia attacked Chloe despite Marshal claiming some-kind-of-protective on Chloe. Either gorta did the factional and was blocked or the factional was healed by an unclaimed protective.

c) gorta, the slot who has been townlocked for shitty reasons I still don’t understand performed the factional and was blocked.

I know that b and c can realistically be the same world, but can people drop the fucking shield on gorta already!?

Also can you expand on this

How/why do you think marshal and arete could be w/w?

I have the direct opposite opinion tbh
But i’m curious and would love an explanation

Why exactly me in this scenario?

w!marshal attacking me there looks sus as all hell

And i dont see why it has to be specifically me

In fact
If marshal is a wolf i’d be someone they want to keep alive, since ive been defending her

God
Getting a headache

I’ll reply to you in the morning Jane
Sorry

If I understand the claim correctly, Arete gets results based on the following:

  • Their ability/flavor is related to time
  • They can kill people
  • They can heal/delay people

The first is obviously NAI, but Vigilantes and Doctors are both strong Town roles.

As a Town Investigative, I think most results they could get would not be very AI (Unless “Having access to the factional kill” counts).

I don’t see it being useful other than for catching people in fakeclaims and kat is probably the worst target you could possibly select for that.

Okay I know I said I was going to sleep and I swear I’m about to but I feel like this ignores, like, the five-vote flashwagon on me yesterday + the fact that there are like three or four total votes on the VC now

(and some subset of the wolves are probably repping a townread on me and can’t reasonably pivot, like just statistically, enough people are doing that that probably at least one is a wolf)

They are both among my 4 non-Village reads, and I don’t think their interactions are “Not w/w” (This is based purely on memory, I have not actually re-read them)

Okay but that was only based on “Haha Arete could be LW” and died instantly.

I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound rude but have you considered the possibility that your case just … isn’t very good/is mostly pretty easily refutable and that’s why no one is sheeping you

Because I didn’t trust Marshal and healed you.

It’s not like this was blatantly obvious because of my reaction to kat’s fakeclaim (and me thinking Marshal’s claim was likely to be fake despite nobody else having claimed to have potentially blocked the factional kill at that time)

And I just slipped again so it’s probably best that I just claim at this point.

this feels like just enough of a stretch that i think it’s in the red zone between “absurd and villagery” and “reasonably and villagery”

it feels like it’s just agenda pushing tbh

anyways I should go to sleep for real now

I might be able to confirm Jane tonight but that depends on what we think the odds are of wolves having another KP role/some sort of protective role, I don’t know how likely that is

(also depends on me surviving the night obviously)

mrrr that depends a bit on what exactly qualifies for the exact wording of my role

I think the hosts are asleep but I can have an answer by tomorrow morning on the specific edge case I’m worried about

i dont think this is unlikely given i currently V read both and kinda think Marshals claim is in firmly the realms of “hard to believe” and “a thing marshal would FPS”

why are these two different scenarios if the actually important part is “gorta did the factional”

repeating the same point doesn’t make it more correct or likely

whats funny is “drop shield on X” usually maens “i am shielding X” from my experience? which feels backwards!

anyway uh

remind me to reread gorta tomorrow (this is prob directed to arete since realistically they’ll be here when im around and will also read this right now)

aorn im like 90% confident in gorta v, probably higher
