Something about his D1 goofs came across as very townie. I'd have to go reread. But this is just insane.
Unvote: Hydra
I'm very tempted to vote for Hapi, but will remove my vote from Hydra in the meantime so people can't hammer.
@Hapi, what in the hell is going on?
And to @Vroendal, i don't have a meta for Hapi. This is the first time I've played with her. She seemed very townie early on, but I don't know what's going on anymore.
Umm what's going on is, before this whole group chat thing started I saw Pengu mention here that he couldn't do his jailor ability because of target block. I stated that's my role privately to the chat because
A. I thought not being able to share what happened in the chat meant it wouldn't leak outside the chat
B. I was confirming Pengus claim and verifying that I blocked him.
As stated in group I do not understand how my block works EXCEPT that it is a blue gel effect.
It is written as you jump in front of your target blocking them. I assumed its ToS escort. Could it mean something else maybe?
Why'd I block Pengu? I had two reads on how my ability might work.
1. I block the actions of my target. Blocking Pengus actions seemed like it could be a smart play since many seasoned players were at least mildly sus he might be a turret jailor
2. It might block anyone from approaching Pengu like a BG in ToS.
I figured Pengu would see a bit of action based on previous day claims. I figured he was a high value target for wolves if he wasn't one.
In not understanding my roles exact nature I hedged my bets by targeting someone that either action might hold beneficial.
And didn't Pengu say his target was blocked? But Hapi said she blocked Pengu? Then how did Pengu get a hint???
I feel these actions don't add up.
Here's my discussion with Hapi: (@Ruguo, you said no screenshots, do exact quotes "count"?)
Hapi said "I blocked Pengu. I'm town, but I like adding chaos and confusion" (not exact)
I responded:
Why would you block Pengu? That seems like a weird move. Also, he said his target was blocked, not that he was. I feel like he would've told us if he was, unless Ruguo didn't tell him as his target being blocked takes precedence but idk. You're blocking him shouldn't affect him being from being attacked or defended either, so it's weird you bring that up.
She responded: (not exact)
"I'm not sure how my block works. It's a blue gel effect. I blocked him because of his suspicious claims. I assumed it works like ToS Escort.
I dropped it after that.
Really kind of perturbed that any of this was shared. But I digress its my fault for misunderstanding how things worked.
"Some turrets carry cubes around. They have two heads, but only because more wouldn't fit."
The "some turrets" thing is worrying me.
Also, according to mythology, the most commonly cited number of heads for the Hydra is 9, not 2. I suppose that's where the "only because more wouldn't fit" thing comes in, though.
My other worry is that we have someone masquerading as a Town power role, which also seems to be a sensible reading of this clue. If that were the case, though, it would have made more sense to refer to it as "faces" and not heads. Heads is oddly specific.
Yeah, that's why the wording stuck with me a bit. The type of person is normally called Two-faced, so the choice of saying two heads was an interesting one.
This is possibly a long-shot, but if it's not referring to Hydra (not discounting it, but adding an alternative), perhaps two of the turret players have a linked power between them? Is there such a role that exists that would be similar to that?
Also, it has been brought to my attention that maybe I should have added a disclaimer. So here it is. Any similarities between flavour and players is pure coincidence and should be treated as such.
Ruguo's statement seems to imply that I misinterpreted the clue and that the clue wasn't meant to point to Hydra at all. However, based on that I can only rely on him according to what other people say and that he was already suspicious to me, my vote still stands.
The Franckenturret is the only turret I know of that has two heads. It also "carries" a cube. This may be what Pengu's clue was referring to.
I don't know if it's purposeful or not, but Red Mones seems to have only increased in erratic behavior, and I don't know what that means...
can you point to exactly what red's erratic behavior is? i haven't seen it as erratic today. plus, if hydra is scum that makes Red look great since people are trying to start a counterwagon.
How do you know what the Frankenturret is, and what kinds of turrets exist?
The power of psychic telepathy google search. What makes Barnes core aligned to you guys btw?
gut, mostly. i believe barnes mentioned having not played for a while during d1? and it's like i can physically see the rust coming off as the game goes on.
And didn't Pengu say his target was blocked? But Hapi said she blocked Pengu? Then how did Pengu get a hint???
I feel these actions don't add up.
if Pengu has a passive ability due to the gel effects, that would be immune to a role block.
Hapi, is your role similar to pengu's? because if it's the same role, that would invalidate his clue.
I don't think so? Again I really don't understand it other than that its a blue gel effect.
And if you remember I needed to clarify how that worked yesterday too.
