I'm not claiming today. I am curious what you plan to do about that.

As I said:

Claims are meant to inform reads. Reads are meant to inform lynches. With no lynches in play, I see no utility in claiming when it won't change the outcome of the day, but might change the outcome of the night (for the worse).

Cerulean says his role visits never heard of a gladiator visiting.

It varies by mod, as far as I'm aware.

Wylted is just flailing. Making pushes all over the place to see what sticks. I also dislike how he seems to be trying to use his last breath to force out my claim.

Besides, if you really didn't see anything, shouldn't there be a Ninja from your POV? If there was, there wouldn't be a reason for me to make that specific lie.
Could be x shot or something. Who knows. Ninja is just speculation but probably the truth.

I don't know feel free to vote me. I can hammer myself

Bro you are scum or a retard. I have too much respect for you to think you are a retard. 

It's a compliment.  

I am clearly not making pushes to see what sticks I am scum hunting because if I figure something out I can be useful  in some way. I am clearly making zero attempt to save myself and have stated multiple times I would rather go now than be a mislynch in LYLO or MYLO

There are two options 


1. Your claim helps town 

2. Your claim does literally zero damage to you

There is no scenario why your claim would harm town so state right now why you would hold off?

Please everyone consider whether a town member when presented with an option of an action that either benefits town or is null but in no conceivable capacity will harm town, whether an actual town member would opt out of that action?

One of the reasons I was so confident in moozer was that I thought pie was communicating after death. I would have been confident anyway but posts stating to lynch moozer were liked. 

Now I know it was Owen making the likes as Pie would never like posts that say to lynch me

That's WIFOM, I've pretended not to care about my own survival as scum before. In fact, it's the only way you're making it through today considering I doubt you could ever get Cerulean out.

We don't know what roles scum has left.

We don't know who's scum, and by extension who's going to get nightkilled.

There is absolutely a detriment to town by claiming, and I see no possible benefit from claiming early when it has absolutely zero impact on what happens today.

The fact that you don't realize how mafia could mess with my role overnight is probably just a scumslip that mafia's remaining roles are close to useless, so that's good to know.

What are you going to do when I am out and my words have merit and I am pointing the finger at you?

VTNL is an option and I questioned cerulean about one thing that didn't line up for me and backed down immediately when it was explained. 

There are 2 scum left and it's you and Bullish. You literally have the option now to reveal your role which 100% will not damage town but has the potential to help town a lot. 

However instead of making the obviously correct move you make the move that harms town. So explain what town motivation is behind not making a move that at best helps town and at worst is null?

If I was town and presented with the option of helping town with zero down side and the choice is as clear cut as yours I would take it.

In fact I have voted for myself to reduce the risk of a mislynch at LYLO and this is despite the fact that you and Bullish are the last remaining scum and the o ly people besides me on my wagon

You are not a cop. You're not a watcher. You are not a doctor. It doesn't leave any power roles really to worry about that nonsense. 

You said your role somehow suggests a Dr. I cannot think of a single role that would suggest that. Maybe a hider to balance it but it wouldn't have an effect. I don't know I can't think of a single role that matters and would be harmful to claim

If you guys do keep me around and you won't.  I promise you I will target Austin for the lynch next dp. 

His reason for being absent on the moozer lynch or town reading him makes zero sense nor does refraining from actions which at best help town but at worst are null.

Okay, I just caught up. And I hate to be the one to prevent the lynch, but I do not think Wylted is mafia. His actions don't really make a lot of sense, why would he claim to be an investigative role and not have results on the person he watched get killed? And he was the one who seemed willing to consider other options for mafia, and at the start even considered that cerulean was innocent. It was only after cerulean doubled down on him and made a case against him that wylted committed to voting cerulean and he was proposing to vtnl before that. Ceru to me feels more likely to be mafia here. I don't like the way he comes in and again just doesn't seem to be considering other options, just seems to know that wylted is mafia. He did the same thing with me in the last game, and just like last game made a big case and drew out all the reasons wylted would be mafia and doesn't seem to considering at all that he could be town. Anyways, I don't really like this lynch, and if I had to pick between the two here, I am getting flashbacks from the last game, so

VTL  cerulean.

I've had a lot else to focus on the last couple of days, so I'll admit I just haven't had the bandwidth to focus on this game as much as I'd like.

Still, I can't say I understand a push on Cerulean here. Banana, Cerulean's role literally makes the DP a heads-up between two players, so it's a given that he'd have to pick a target and use his role on them, partially to confirm his role and partially because, frankly, WyIted was in a lot of peoples' potential scum pool at the end of the last DP. I'll note that he was also pretty thorough in giving his reasoning for every player still left in the game. I get that he pushed on you last game, though I just don't see his push in the same light this time. I can see a world in which Cerulean is somehow a scum Gladiator, but that would be new to me and I haven't seen a good reason to cast him in that light yet.

Him being a visiting role is still suspect. 

If you look over the last DP, does it look like I am really convinced of my position on Moozer or does it look like I am pretending?

If you can't tell the difference between me pretending and me being authentic fair enough, but if you can do I look genuinely convinced he is scum, or does it look like I as scum stuck my head out despite being in so many people's POE instead of just letting the dp play out like it was probably going to anyway?

I'm not saying it's impossible that he's scum. I'm not sure why he'd lie about this, though.

You seemed convinced, though that doesn't really change anything for me. I think you'd act similarly on that as scum or town. Frankly, I think Moozer did himself in, so I'm not holding that against you to begin with.

It's more about how confident Cerulean is about Wylt being mafia, doing the whole big case against him and just deciding that wylted is scum and being so confident of it to use his role on him. And why would wylted not just lie about his watcher results if he was mafia? His reaction to all this seemed genuine, but I don't know him that well either. I just don't see why he would claim to watch the person who was night killed and say he doesn't have a result instead of faking it to get a a lynch if he was mafia, he came into this day phase level headed and willing to consider all options and didn't have an agenda. It's not so much that I am "pushing" cerulean but more that it's the only option he left us with, and between him and wylted, wylted seems to be more town here. Is cerulean ability a role that is commonly town sided?

I'm still leaning towards Wylted. WF is probably Town. Honestly it's PoE. If I had the option I would pressure Austin, but I guess I don't have that luxury. I feel like Cerulean should have selected Austin instead.

Because he had a feeling I was watcher and wanted to explain being seen somewhere just in case. If that had come to pass it could be that he just refrained from using the gladiator role.

Is anyone concerned about bullish just randomly showing up to ensure town is lynched and randomly disappearing. Who was he going after last dp prior to lynching his town read

The other person he is pursuing was probably town I have to look back at it

Is cerulean ability a role that is commonly town sided?
When the alternative was to be pushed to claim his role (which Cerulean would have been had he not used it) and revealing his role having not used it, I can see why he'd feel some pressure to use it since I know I at least would have sussed him for just straight up refusing to use his role. Whether he's scum or town, that's true, and no matter which side you're on, you need some degree of confidence to choose a target. I at least think he's justified his choice, even if I disagree with some of his reasoning.

When it comes to lying about Watcher results, my answer is that that's WIFOM thinking. He has incentive to draw attention to someone else, I agree, but in a DP where he literally can't get someone else lynched aside from Cerulean, drawing attention elsewhere isn't necessarily his best choice in this DP, especially since his choices are diminishing rapidly. It also serves as a reason to claim that scum have a given PR, which if we buy it, means we're dismissing other PRs in the process.

As for whether Cerulean's Gladiator is town-sided, I've admittedly only ever seen it in a town context. I've read that it can be a scum role, but that's the rarer version.

I... really don't get this. It was clear he targeted you, Casey confirmed that at the start of the DP. If he was concerned that you were the Watcher, he'd have to believe that you'd Watched yourself, which again he wouldn't need to support because Casey literally confirmed you as his target.

If we're at the point where we're sussing the two people who are outright confirmed, then I think we've gone off the rails here. I could see a world in which one of them is scum, but that's also one where there are at least two Vanilla townies and scum has at least a manipulator JOAT and one of these roles. I don't buy that their third player has a PR, or at minimum that scum doesn't have these two PRs alongside the JOAT.

As for who he was pursuing, he flipped between Moozer and me.

If Bullish, WF, Cerulean, and banana, all want me to claim, I will do so by the end of the day.

Wylted's logic about it having no downside is nonsensical when there are some very obvious downsides in terms of night actions and no possible benefit to claiming today.
