  • That was two solid day phases where he kept making a damn weird push against me, with patently false arguments, and then inspired all the paranoia in the next day phase which almost let us waste a phase by voting for the host.
    I thought we were over this. I already apologized for the paranoia. I was mostly inspired by Pengu, as he was playing up his host experience as a red herring to lend the paranoia some legitimacy. Since that was proven false, it makes sense for me to vote for Pengu for turning me against the host and not the other turrets.

    Ever since, he's been sheeping for the most part. It could simply have been a bit of distancing when expressing his suspicion for Vroendal.
    I'm sheeping based on your advice. I feel like I'm in a "damned if I do, damned if I don't" situation where you're going to not trust me either way, regardless of whether I follow your experienced logic or my own fallible conclusions. All this is doing is making me question my own intelligence and aptitude for the game. I'd like you to educate me as to what my "patently false arguments" are, so I can improve on that.

  • So how are my fellow turr... I mean cores?  :P
    Push Button, Vote: Hapi
    She apparently always does this. Not great. :P

    Wait, so no Minish, funnier, lil G, or ExLight? That's...a shame.
    I don't think any of them were notified :(

    What do you mean by 11:4:1? Is this the alignment distribution? Is there someone on a third team?
    There is an unaligned player here, for extra madness I suppose. What Sapph said.



    That said, I'm most suspicious of (and voting for) Laurentus, for past-game reasons and math reasons. (I don't think Lau is aware that we can lynch wolves during the day and power town roles can block during the night. Jumping straight to the worst-case scenario isn't helpful and leans towards benefitting the wolves.)

    Though Hapi isn't helping. :o

    Pretty much that. It was a false argument as I'd addressed it in my second post. That said, I don't think you're scum anymore. At least, not until both Pengu and Batman flip Town, haha.

    I apologise if it's making you question your intelligence. It's exactly because I view you as intelligent that I was made suspicious by these actions.

  • I'm still not liking Kane in this, either. He's claimed to be an alignment cop, but his scan on Gerrick was somehow inconclusive, and yet we know now that Gerrick was Town, and keeping me alive.

    He was also scum with me and Hydra in the last game, so knows how we think, and would have had ample motive to wanna do us both in on N1.

    That said, if Batman and Pengu don't pan out, I'd like you to lynch him.

  • It's also still unclear to me why Kane would have bought Red's cop claim if he was himself a cop.

    Yeah, it was a dumb argument. But at least the math hopefully made you not as pessimistic :P

  • "As you follow Batma n, you only see the bright purple light of his eye before he vanishes."



    That seems to be fairly unambiguously paint Batman as a turret.
    I am not entirely familiar with the franchise and have been relying on the fandom wiki. Couldn't find out much information beyond Morality Core having a purple eye. Do you mind explaining how that reveals Batma n as a turret?
    I'm still not liking Kane in this, either. He's claimed to be an alignment cop, but his scan on Gerrick was somehow inconclusive, and yet we know now that Gerrick was Town, and keeping me alive.
    That's actually one of the main issues why I can't say with absolute certainty that Pengu is the last turret, assuming Batma n is one of them. With the numerical advantage, he could have easily reverse role-claimed against Mones instead of in the middle of a night phase - thereby exposing himself to a night kill, or if thought from the POV of a scum, to waste a night defend. Plus, he doesn't even elaborate on his scans.

  • The morality core is not described as having a bright purple eye, and the video I watched doesn't match the shape or brightness of the light, either.



    Additionally, I would really have liked it if you could let Batman defend himself. Now I'll never know if he claims to be the morality core because you gave him the idea or because he actually is that.

  • Interestingly, two people fell on the wagon pretty much immediately: Aren and Aragonn. Both Valerians. Both firmly up there with the people who would want me, Tau, Hydra and Gerrick dead. :))

  • Hmm. It seems this was simply a bit of ambiguity on Silv's part.

    For comparison:




    So it does indeed seem like that image was the source Ruguo used.

    Batman must, therefore, be the Morality Core, something I expect to play a fundamental role in Town's strategy.

    @Batma n, what are your abilities, and if you've scanned anyone, what have you found?

  • I will vote: Kane, because nothing about his actions has made a lick of sense from a Town perspective. They make a great deal of sense from a scum perspective, though.

  • Admittedly, it does still give me pause that Gerrick would wind up dead if Kane were scum, given he was sure to know how much Gerrick flipping town would make Kane look bad.

    ^ This is always my reaction when Lau is friendly

    Never saw it that way :P

    And yeah, Kane is a far more comfortable option for me to vote against than a potential Morality core

    Vote: Kane Please defend yourself
