Yeah my role isn't really powerful, but it is investigative so it has some utility. Like I said if ZDS had been anything but the resume I got it would clear him, or it can catch someone in a lie if they lie about their role.
I also had a thought: mass claiming won't help as much as I thought because we don't know what Axel was.
KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

Hey Sloth, in that world where grape flips town and I somehow flip town too, who's next for scum?
The honest answer is I'm not really thinking about that right now, I see no point.
The even more honest answer is that despite my attempts not to look for other stuff and get distracted, I've noticed things that I might have called scummy on other players if not for you two. The yeet other would probably be Dork > Ter > Jack > Goo, but aside from Goo, I'm not married to it.

I don't think Grape is a player that rage quits, so I wonder what's the deal with his silence.
Is it related to his alignment? Seems too easy and not like him...
Well, if ZDS is right on him, won't hold it against him. Makes us even this game I guess (lol).
Feel like I'll owe KJ an apology for going so hard on him.
(scum!KJ 4 life yo)
Which part?
The target? Yep. If the game is not over and I'm alive toMorrow, I'm definitely putting my foot down on KJ. For reasons that...I'm so very tired of repeating.
If we have a vig and they don't shoot him? Insane.
Sir, this is role madness.
So far we have one confirmed aescetic, and another claimed. KJ claimed a weird-ass role, mafia has a BP and a strongman and a janitor.
If the game ends now this will have been a very anticlimatic final Day. But that is nice in its own way.
If the game is not over, elim order should be [KJ/ZDS in any order], [Sloth/Ter in any order], then let the survivors figure it out for themselves while we throw tomatoes from spec chat.
Now, on ZDS: I'm Beetlejuice, Town Ability Investigator.
I have a one shot that tells me the classification of a player's role: cop-ish, doc-ish, or not-either-ish (paraphrased). Unfortunately he came up the third result, so he could be the janitor. Obviously this also means that he didn't use his ability if it's real N2. I was kinda hoping for one of the other two results after I saw the flip since that would proclude him from being scum and would be useful. It was not though.
His rationale for not shooting is believable/fine though.
ZDS: I'm not immediately seeing you're point on you being cleared. That's the kind of analysis I plan to do on Wed though.
Also, 1194 is specifically the kind of post I criticized you for never making. lol.
IDK how you can say three of your PoE has made an effort to scumhunt though. That's BS. IDK about Ter, honestly. Her playstyle is foreign to me and IDK what her scumhunting looks like, but SLOTH? I call BS. He's put no thought into his scumread of me. None. I call BS (a second time, for emphasis.)
I had a hunch you were going to claim investigative, from how you wanted me to claim on the spot even though the situation is far from critical enough for a mass-claim. I'm glad I didn't use my ability.
1194 is the kind of post I can do when I have time, which I only have on week-ends (and holidays/vacations). I told you that yesterDay, now you have proof. :-p
I may not get everything about the inner workings of Ter or Sloth either, but at least I can tell they give a damn about finding and eliminating scum (or they act like it, whatever). They aren't perfectly smooth, polished and edgeless bubbles floating around with barely any remarkable opinion of their own, reflecting whatever they think the town wants to see.
Sir, this is role madness.
So far we have one confirmed aescetic, and another claimed. KJ claimed a weird-ass role, mafia has a BP and a strongman and a janitor.
Whacky set-up spec time: Based on known and claimed roles I think this game is essentially glorified mountainous, with lots of very weak or very situational roles and barely anything the town can claim to clear themselves. Eco's role is the sole exception so far.

Wait so now you think KJ should go next?
Weren't you like ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>" in terms of yeeting him? I asked you about this.
Also lol, you think you should go next if not him? What?
As of post #1276, Grapefruit21 has been ejected! He was:
The Empire Strikes Back, Town Mirror "Stopped they must be; on this all depends. Only a fully trained Jedi Knight, with the Force as his ally, will conquer Vader and his Emperor. If you end your training now - if you choose the quick and easy path as Vader did - you will become an agent of evil."
Strike Back: Once per game, at Night, you may choose that all abilities that target you this Night instead target the player that used the ability.
Suddenly piercing the chaos came the sound of a far-off train whistle. Ignatius stopped his incessant maniacal cackling. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a beetle that looked an awful lot like the Vulture from that Spider-Man movie scuttle across the floor. He kicked his boot off and watched it fly through the air and land squarely on the bug, squashing it flat. A possi of smaller beetles crawled out from under the rug and made their way over to the boot, which had falled to one side. They stood around the squashed remains a moment and then retreated back under the rug.
gooLagoon has died! He was:
Stand by Me, Town Deathcop "It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of your life, like busboys in a restaurant."
You Guys Wanna Go See a Dead Body: When you die, you may choose two target players. The first player's alignment will be revealed to the second player.
Killjoy has also died! He was:
Beetlejuice, Town Ability Investigator "I'm the ghost with the most, babe."
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice: Once per game, at Night, you may target a player; you will be told if that player has an ability and if it is "investigative", "protective", or "other". You may use this ability only if three other players have quoted you in the previous Day.
I get to complain about it if I'm actually here!I also had a thought: mass claiming won't help as much as I thought because we don't know what Axel was.
O...kay. Sure.

What is wrong with me today. The weirdest typos.
You wound me
Or by giving you a yeet am I right hahah wait I can't do that. *****.
Is it related to his alignment? Seems too easy and not like him...
Well, if ZDS is right on him, won't hold it against him. Makes us even this game I guess (lol).

(scum!KJ 4 life yo)
Grapefruit>KJ>ZDS>Me>Jack>Vaimes>You
correct?
Swap KJ and Grapefruit. Remove me from the list at all. ZDS/you/Jack are pretty nebulous in terms of order, but for now, yeah, I'd go that way.
Vote Grapefruit
I’m vigging Sloth if this flips blue don’t @ me.
Vote Grapefruit
The answer is you're just making us waste another Day on the obvious target.
Unvote
Vote: Grapefruit
in case Cantrip's a stickler for details.
The target? Yep. If the game is not over and I'm alive toMorrow, I'm definitely putting my foot down on KJ. For reasons that...I'm so very tired of repeating.

IE what I still assume was eco needlessly shooting Igno N1
Already poked Cantrip.

Unless you believe Cantrip waited until after sign-ups to create role flavours, this is entirely irrelevant. :-p

Role madness aside, that much KP in a mini is a big no.

Where does cantrip live anyway? Is this bedtime on his side of the world?
