Clo - Jail . Someone? Didn't explicitly state.


Both hal and sand claim to have been jailed or had action failed.

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out who I jailed this whole time. That post was completely serious, someone try and guess who I jailed.

I had submitted the action to jail CPig. CPig busdrove himself and Sand successfully, so the busdrive resolved before the jail, meaning the jail landed on Sand and Hal's cop landed on CPig. But Hal claimed his cop failed. It would have failed if it hit my jail, but the jail should have been on Sand at the time. So the jail resolved before the busdrive, meaning CPig's busdrive failed, meaning Hal's cop hit Sand. So since my jail was on CPig, Hal's cop should have succeeded. Also there was a nightkill somewhere in this mess of interactions, which also failed, unless scum withheld the kill. And then Hal said that his action didn't actually fail, so now both options are valid again, and also the kill failed/was skipped.

At this point I was kind of hoping Sand would reveal he'd also moved people around, causing an eternal loop of bus drives. Since his action failed, I guess he was jailed? I have no idea at this point.

My best guess right now is that Hal misunderstood/was given the wrong action result in that his card succeeded and his kill failed? There's the play two cards at night boon, that seems like it'd allow scum to do nightkill and card at the same time.

Hal said the mods corrected him and that it was mod error, his action succeeded and he copped me as town.

That ties everything up neatly as far as what happened.


I busdrove myself and sand

clo jailed me which was redirected to sand

Hal copped sand and it was redirected to me, got town result.

Sand tracked clo, it failed because sand was jailed.


This still kind of leaves things muddled as far as who could be scum, there's still too many variables on who could be lying or not lying.

I think no one is lying. I think scum withheld the kill and did some action to blend in in a situation where killing may have gotten them killed

CPig mentioned being BP, did you get a message about your BP being used up? This could answer the question of if there was a nightkill attempt.

It's the Cute Fuzzy alien card, i don't know that it would have said one way or the other if it was used.

I didn't draw it so it was used on me and presumably another one of us has it now.

You then jail sand on a night with no kill

Now you vote me??

If you're so certain that it's Sand, why didn't you say so before? Beginning of the day it was all about CPig, then me, now Sand. Looks like scum who needs to get rid of any townie to me. And it fits with the night action stuff from my point of view: One action succeeds, one fails, mods accidentally tell you both failed.

And we know CPig had BP last night, so that's three reasons the nightkill could have failed: Killer was jailed, killer targets Sand, killer targets CPig.

Umm because I was trying to see who did what and I had conflicting mod information based on thread claims. So it seemed like cpig could have been lying. Then you came and and at first didn't even say you jailed anyone, then made a weird non-committal claim about what you did, then mods told me the correction and then Sandwolf made his claim and you clarified and it all made more sense.

And I have very specifically said I was pretty sure it was sandwolf several times today but that I was willing to do nothing since there is a lot of weirdness around you too, and I can potentially doc someone tonight.

I am actually now a little more annoyed at the mod error (still know these things happen) because if I came in at the start of the day and said I copped sandwolf as town I am sure this all would have gone down very differently

Well since I think you are most likely scum I would not expect it to.

Clo certainly doing her best to put more questions about that in my mind though

I still think blocked kill is more likely than withheld kill though.

Ehhh it is what it is. I really would rather just do nothing today since I have so many doubts now but I would still pick you if push came to shove.

It is just hard to have much to say about someone saying "you did something similar once before in a game under different circumstances, so you probably did it here", which, if you are scum, is a fine tactic.

Clo though deciding that it is more likely that I was able to do two actions and somehow either I or the mods screwed up the difference between them, and that I really did cop sandwolf and kill cpig as scum as opposed to not considering the person she jailed that was the alternate candidate yesterday may have done the kill is weird to me. And also impossible to really engage with.

And framing it as saying "I wanted anyone dead" just seems like someone who isn't really reading what happened today. If you assumed for a minute I COULD be telling the truth than the way I reacted would make a lot of sense.

But I also get that only I know I am town and people get misread all the time, that is just another thing there is no argument against.

But in the world where it is Cloaca is scum and you as town, why when she first appeared in the thread and cpig and I were engaging on how I could have been blocked did she not mention that she had jailed someone, and when she did bring it up she didn't specify anything until all the other claims were in. That seems kind of shady!

Okay, working under the assumption that Hal is town, the last scum obviously needs to be Sand (from my perspective). CPig has been copped and confirmed town by each of you, so even if one was lying about the action, I doubt that both of you are. If there is somehow a scenario where two townies independently cover for the last remaining scum, it's beyond my comprehension.

Day DB got lunched:

Au contraire! I just said I thought DBs post today felt very self conscious.

When you first said it though I felt like they were more lurky than scummy. C’est la vie.

I’d be ok with ##vote DB for the moment.

I would actually be interested in hearing Sand's reasoning there, because he didn't trust my DB case (or me) at all at the beginning of the day, then proceeded to vote me, Hal and finally DB in quick succession.

See it’s funny I was actually gonna go for Hal or Cloaca today because DB all but gave up and I thought they are both smart enough to get on that bandwagon early. But this case of yours feels very much so like you had a half time pep talk and are coming to try to win.
