i turned in a 486g zander :mad: and a 264g perch

No. The Goldfish lets you know which prizes have been won by someone across all nights. Which, for you, turned out to be just sausages, so a second prize. I knew you weren't going nowhere.

it didn't seem like a very rare or powerful item but maybe literally no one else had the prestigious honor of receiving a... can of beer?

its full effects since this is apparently new info were to increase odds by 20% of catching a specific fish (excluding goldfish & king of lake, which were invalid options) for 2 casts

Hmm ok yes, but I still think you’re missing my initial point.

Your post came across using language that seemed to be confident I had no night action regardless of fish. It was like you know I’m not scum as well.

That’s why I kind of poked it, but then backed off because it didn’t match with your other posting of actively trying to solve the issue.

... do people have night actions regardless of fish, because if so, no one has said a thing. All claimed powers are definitely fishing-related.

Also how would me knowing you didn't have a night action be related to you not being scum? I don't see the TMI bridge you're building there.

Not only all claimed powers, but all three flips too haven't had a single night action.

i'm not sure what the confusion is here tbh, i thought the implication re: TMI here is pretty obvious, as to why i also stepped back from it after thinking about it.

yes, no one has said a thing about powers that i saw in the last two pages before the keats elim (that's all i've read of day 1). that's why i made a questioning comment about the OP not stating what the scum do or don't have, in case i missed an earlier discussion.

like, i assumed, and still do assume, that from looking at the fish power list in the OP, that scum probably wouldn't be reliant on the fishing mechanic alone for their powers. that'd make the game very hard for them. so it's reasonable to assume they could have additional powers. like in nearly every other game of mafia out there. the games where scum have had to draw from a pool of actions with town have explicitly said so.


so... with that thought in mind, you stating that i didn't have an action kind of stuck out to me as an odd thing to appear to be confident about. hence why i thought it was showing tmi. you either knew scum don't have actions, or at the very least, you know that *I* don't have actions. this is irrespective of the goldfish power.


then i thought about why you'd be presenting it like that if scum, so asked if i misunderstood your first post.

oh i forgot to mention, this was also in the context of hal complaining someone stole his fish. how can someone steal a fish before any fish could be weighed in, using a fish derived power?

so that suggests either an item, or a power, was responsible.

if items can steal fish, items given to scum could effectively just be stand ins for standard scum powers, if they don't just have standard scum powers that is.

so that was in my head too, when i was trying to work out the statement you made about me not having a power. what was your knowledge of the game etc.

For the fish thievery, I had already submitted my fishies and then one got stolen, so Illu subbed in the next biggest fish of the type I had, so it’s sort of implied the action resolution of stealing is before the submitting piece

I guess my question is like. Why steal your fish and NK someone else. You will out the existence of a fish thief, that seems bad.

Maybe you're scum, maybe had lovely fish that wouldn't win anyway and wanted a towncred opportunity.

Maybe scum just wanted a few town night results as possible.

It's suggesting to me that Sand seems townie.

Unless you are going to kill the person you steal from every night the fish thief would come out sooner or later. Also the person you stole from is highly unlikely to have any powers so why waste that kill

Where does Sand factor into your points?

I imagine the fish stealing is a post hammer/pre flip action by scum since it just deprives town of opportunities to win a fish prize/action. The list of winners is anonymous so there's a small chance of getting caught I think (there's probably enough leeway for scum to lie).

I don't see how discussing fish thieves leads to the "Sand seems townie" conclusion.

But, yea, kinda here. Fish stealing to me sounds like it'd work like an extra roleblock of sorts, in that it'd make the target unlikely to have any powers that can catch scum at night. With a setup like this, where the power roles refresh every night so you can't kill a given one for good, killing the person who's probably VT doesn't make a heap of sense.

One of the people who claim to have gotten nothing (Hal, Zoya, TMor, or Plastic) has to be lying here.

I'd have liked for the people in the "no fish" pool to have posted a bit more in general.

I'm inclined to believe that whoever is lying there just got the Zander and didn't feel inclined to claim it or what it did, because, at this point, faking a track on whoever the hell would have been relatively easy even if they did not use the fish and did the kill or who knows what else. But you can't fake having a tracker if you don't know if any of the unclaimed people had the tracker, you know.

If beet is scum and was tracked to Iggy, it was him who did the kill - which means the Zander either wasn't used, went off, without any appreciable effects, or was on Zoya, who was blocked by Maer.

The "no appreciable effects" option in this scenario is a bit blurry in my opinion - what I can think of as a scum action that goes off and doesn't leave a trace are a) ninja (doesn't work if beet was seen); b) poisoner or any other delayed kill poo poo (doesn't work because there was a NK); c) juggifier (can work but, again, in this scenario, beet didn't have a fish, so someone else would have to use it on him); d) godfatherer (... what for? we don't seem to have any sort of copping).

I kind of feel like this track leads to the blocked person, that is, Zoya, should beet flip scum. But she is definitely not the only possibility and we still should look at TMor, Plas and Hal. If beet flips town, however, then the math completely changes.
