amazing

whoever the roleblockers are they, regardless of their alignment, should stop the arsonist, since they can ignite everyone at once if not continuously disrupted

in the meanwhile do we have any ideas on how to stop them?

Googled the arsonist role and got several different results from different sites. Most sites are in agreement that there are 2 phases to the arsonist attack - the dousing phase, and the ignition phase. The dousing is unstoppable by a defender on most sites, ie the defender couldn't protect someone from being doused; but the arsonist can be roleblocked. Given that we may have 2 roleblockers, it would be nice if we could figure out a way to coordinate their efforts and have them alternate nights blocking him.

The problem with your plan, Aers, is that if there's two roleblockers one is decidedly scum. Wolves would have to sacrifice one of their own for a chance at delaying me. And that's if they are lucky enough to not both be primed already.

I mean the wolves also have an interest in you not dousing them, so it's not like they wouldn't want to do that to you either

I'm order to coordinate they have to out themselves though. Which was my point. 

There's a way to attempt it that doesn't require anyone to out themselves, but it's not 100% guaranteed to work. By my count we have 11 players alive, minus one since NoName obviously doesn't factor into this. If I put them alphabetically I get:

1 - Aerso
2 - Anub
3 - Coz
4 - Dolby
5 - ENE
6 - Ex
7 - Gerrick
8 - Neon
9 - TGN
10 - Wintermoot

So tonight, if you have roleblock and an even number, block NoName. Tomorrow night odd numbers block him. Gives us a 50/50 chance of stopping him in his tracks. Thoughts?

It's an alright plan, but I'm afraid 50/50 isn't good enough, we need him to be stopped every night otherwise he'll still get opportunities to douse and ignite. While this guarantees at least 50% of disruption, I think it would be better if both roleblockers, assuming there are two, targeted NoName everynight until we figured out a way to stop him. We also even have to hope they can be roleblocked, lol.

@Neon Abigail
Do you have any idea who the Roleblocker(s) might be? If they're in your neighborhood please make NoName gets disrupted. If both are in the neighborhood it's even better, since you can coordinate one into him and still attempt to use the other one to stop mafia actions.

I was assuming that roleblock worked kind of like a defender - can't target the same person 2 nights in a row. If that's not the case then problem solved. Just hammer away at him.

oh I see
that's a fair point, I'm not sure how roleblockers work here but that would make sense

if they can't target the same player twice in a row I think this is a great plan then, yes

I make no promises

I think this is untrue Vro was being blocked every night and I'm almost positive that's why their were no NKs for a bit there

LMAO

that's a nice theory, might be funny if mafia doesn't have control on who does the night kill if they didn't change it from being vro

I don't think it's coincidence that Vro died and there was a NK and u know Vro tried killing

well I don't know anything, you told me yall caught vro in 4k and I'm just trusting you lol

Actually on second thought this still falls on the issue if both roleblockers are even/odd.

I think the ideal is one of them claiming tonight and coordinating in-thread, unless both are in the neighborhood.

Ex you keep bringing up the neighborhood like I'm not already in there.
