Wait... when was this? I just documented a dozen cases of EGW going out of his way to defend bessie.

You missed the point I was making.

That was a hypothetical under Seven's 3 man mafia and SK scenario where Bessie knew the SK because she interpreted a failed NK.

I think the only possible scenario for that was that the NK was n1, and that she and EGW disagreed on whether the NK failed because they hit an SK, just based on her in thread behavior towards Seven.

To be clear, I highly doubt this is what happened but I'm entertaining Seven's scenario and trying to think through the potential implications.

3. Somi and JC stood out as the most invested in actually solving the conundrum. I made a point earlier when casing EGW, that scum are usually more interested in certain things like secret plays (or boomgambits?). They tend to care more about knowing the whole story so they can make informed plays and blend in better. These two fit that description best in this scenario.

Where did I try to drive the conundrum?

Or are you talking about after you admitted you were lying?

I’m as aware of boomgambits as you are, somi just introduced us to the term.

You were one of the only people to vocally acknowledge a plot hole in my lie and call it out. That shows me you were paying attention in a way others might not have been. And I’m offended you’d refer to my shenanigans as crap, I figured you’d get a kick out of it all.

It's "Bessie" we're interested in in this scenario, not "they".

This scenario, being told by a failed NK due to a one shot SK BP, doesn't actually require them to interpret it the same way and the Doc power is EGW's alone.

This would require their NK failing for a different reason last night though. I don't think they butted heads so much that Bessie submitted a kill on EGW's protect.

Again, this is all assuming your scenario is correct that Bessie is human, humans are the sole mafia, and Bessie knows who the SK is, I simply don't see a better candidate for Bessie "knowing" is a SK.

I don’t really understand what you’re saying. You asked me it wasn’t night 1 then explained why it wasn’t night 1 (would have to be night 2 because of lack of scum kill last night).

Also really not sure what the heck you’re talking about as it being just bessie and not they.

The lack of a scum kill both nights is a problem for ALL SK theories. This theory only explains one and not the other. Your answer doesn't explain why Bessie is tunneling you so hard and doesn't really seem that interested in other people if she as mafia knows the SK and it's NOT you.

What I'm suggesting requires a fair number of assumptions (the still missing mafia kill N2 was stopped some other way, EGW and Bessie butting heads heavily), but it's the version that matches her behavior.

She thinks you're perma-BP, is that common anymore? Would explain why she's obsessed with yeeting you.

Either way, I still doubt it. I think it's 3-2 ATM, but if you legitimately think this is what's happening, who else do you think Bessie might have pegged as SK?");

I think it can logically be inferred that I'm not a BP SK in a bessie knows who SK is scenario.
1. There was no mafia kill N2. Therefore, if mafia hit a BP, it would have been N2.
2. George protected me N2, therefore, mafia did not target me N2. Therefore, if they hit a BP it was not Seven.

Your claim that bessie is going after me puts me as top suspect doesn't hold as her tunnel has been a continuation from D1 when no night actions had occurred. It's really strange to me that you're forcing this narrative.

As already acknowledged, that it's for the n1 kill instead of the N2 requires more assumptions is in fact, my critique of it. Either way, we have a missing kill.

That you're the obvious answer if Bessie has night data on anyone as scum is you not thinking through the implications of your theory. If it was somebody else, it's completely illogical for Bessie to not move their tunnel.

There is absolutely nothing illogical about scum thinking they found otherscum during day phase and taking action against them at night. This doesn't necessarily mean their scummates were on board (after D1 anyway).

System.out.println("

Seriously, think this through for two seconds Seven. What reason in hell does mafia-Bessie have to tunnel anybody other than their main SK suspect?

SK is their biggest threat and from their perspective SK flipping is vindication. That their main tunnel target is you and you were protected by a Mafia doc N2 is an indictment of your theory without a ton of supporting evidence.

Thinking about moody. Wondering if Zeniba's push on them was an attempt at being obtuse or a genuine scumread done in an obtuse way.

Alternatively, if EGW was legitimately scumhunting them based on Zeniba's presumed read in spite of lack of chat

Basically trying to figure out if we can be confident moody isn't Human.

");

Woof.

Thought I had today. Human scum team does not have chat, and/or they do not know all their members. Supporting this theory: (1) This is why both flipped humans were tunneling moody; they were trying to communicate with their partner(s). (2) Madge would think it is fun. Reason against this theory: Sabrar absolutely hated this mechanic when he was scum in Wheel of Time 2 Mafia.


Anyway, daily bark-up.

bessie wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 2:09 am Then articulate it poorly. Why would getting more content out of George be anything but good for town?

It wouldn't be, that's the thing. Quite the opposite, getting more from any player is generally useful, that's basically why hammering is considered scummyby default. So pointing this out in response to Mak realising what they've done feels like you're trying to subtly sus Makhaira. Just insinuate that you don't think it was accidental without saying that. With the reveal that you thought EGW was the last human I'm kind of unsure what information you were hoping for and the iffiness gets a little more weight behind it.

My statement was a statement of fact. I feel that Mak hammering was accidental. Any snark was not necessarily intended, but not necessarily unintended, as snarkiness is my nature. And you forgot to thank Seven for jumping in and commenting on my question for you.

JC_DADDY25 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:20 pm So, in looking at whether the loud mechanic has anything that stands out to it, I came across the basic role info on a scum doctor...
In Mafia hands, the Doctor role has an additional, unrelated effect: a Mafia Doctor kills without the use of a gun, and thus a Gunsmith will not see a gun when investigating a Mafia Doctor.
Are we overthinking what's going on?
Could EGW have used his Doctor role to kill BoomFrog? The target of Seven is where I get confused on whether this could work or not, because it says Seven was protected and EGW died. Is there a role that reflects the actin to whoever used it?

I like your thought process. There’s a possibility we are not interpreting the mechanics of the Human roles correctly.
Pre post edit: And I’m surprised only LaserGuy acknowledged this post. Interesting.

Bookmarking this post! I may be referring back to it for years!

AdumbroDeus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 6:56 pm That's a reasonable possibility, but I immediately thought of at least one other possibile reason. I'll wait til Bessie comments though, I'm interested in her rationale as well

Some reasons if would have been good to keep George talking, point of view is general.
1. If George is scum, we want him to post more content because analyzing his content could help in determining his partner(s).
2. If George is scum (or town), there may be hints as to what night results or night actions he and/or his team has performed.
3. Someone can’t (scum/town) slip if they’re not posting (I’m looking at all you low posters here).
4. George talks a lot and he pushes others to post. More content from George results in more content from everyone.
5. More content is always beneficial to TOWN. Content is most of what we have to hunt scum. Night results can be uncertain.

Seven wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 8:03 pm If they thought I was SK N2 they would have killed me.

Why?? It would be beneficial for mafia to have a serial killer in the game. A serial killer is not on town’s side. This is one of those basic misunderstandings that I don’t think you’re capable of and therefore you must be scum.

Hey at least put my quote in the proper context! Now we’re going to have Seven quoting you and using “my words” as an evidence of how scum!me is trying to manipulate Gluelock. Then LaserGuy and somitomi are going to follow him and start using it as a fact and it will be just like the mason thing.

I tried to expand my horizons and got sabotaged by Seven. And Seven is so scummy it’s making it hard to look elsewhere.

Okay, I think we’re talking about different things related to boomfrog. I facetiously quoted him about the quantum states thing because it was relevant but had no idea about the gambit term at the time. Somi later introduces that term which I then adopted shortly after. Aside from both involving boomfrog they’re otherwise unrelated.
