Choose Your Role DP2

1. Does a roleblock of the scum carrying out the NK, prevent the NK?
   

The only mafia strategy I see is a deliberate waive of the NK to implicate whoever Savant would’ve RBed and then lynch Savant himself for lying. But that’s very risky

Why would scum sacrifice a night kill to "frame" a town member, when they could instead just guarantee they kill town at night? If it's to avoid getting lynched the next day, then that means I'm certainly not scum, because I'll def get lynched tomorrow if Vader flips town. Plus delaying kills of town gives town more time to do night actions and such.

If this did happen, it would have a 100% chance of stopping the night kill, whereas my roleblock wasn't guaranteed to get scum or even the scum doing the night kill specifically. And Vader should have known I was going to roleblock him, so why would he do the night kill?

So if that's the case, which I'm now not really sure about, it makes Earth probably the biggest suspect. And Wylted's push of me would set them up nicely for a double mislynch. I don't know how reasonable this is, but an Earth/Wylted team would be interesting.

I want to get thoughts on this from people who aren't Earth, WyIted, or Vader.

Unvote for now.

See, the problem I have with this is that it implies scum have pretty detailed knowledge of the roles that weren't claimed yet

You can only ask about your own role. So if Luna answers it means you're scum, lol. I asked Luna to clarify, though, even though description seemed pretty clea

and knew that there wasn't a Doctor in the game since that was on the list of choices GP didn't pick, suggests that something prevented the NK and so far yours is the only role we've seen that could have done that.

If this was any other mod I would totally be on your side. But this also a Lunatic game. Luna has given mafia the type of roles that reveal a lot of info to the mafia team. Remember when we were a team last time. The same thing happened with Pie in the Invincible Game. Lunatic would be a mod to do such a thing and I can not fully rule out something like this to happen

I mean, I do remember Luna tends to be pretty forthcoming when it comes to giving information to scum, though then we're talking about giving scum some kind of investigative or passive information role, two Categories that are spoken for by townread players. It's possible whatever this would be would fall outside of the 9 Categories entirely, or that Luna just gave scum certain pieces of information separate from their roles, so I'm not ruling this out. I just can't say it's likely given what we know about the distribution of roles and their respective Categories.

I told the person whose role I switched to keep their mouth shut but doctor is one of GPs options and the role change takes effect for that nights ability so for all we know I targeted GP and he blocked the NK and he is sworn to silence

Even if you changed his role, that would have taken place after he'd used it, meaning he couldn't have used the Doc.

 recall something like that from DP1 where you said that anyone you used it on shouldn't mention it (hardly swearing someone to silence, but OK),

guessing you, specifically, had the RB is less clear

Correct let's lynch savant

I just got clarification. They in fact do adopt their new ability the same exact night I change them. So we can actually prevent a nk tonight if I use it on GP

So, once again, to clarify: it takes effect on the same night before they use their role, correct?

guessing you, specifically, had the RB is less clear

I claimed role blocker yesterday.

However, you not remembering that makes me pretty sure you are town. WyIted and Earth as a team is looking more likely now, though idk if that is confirmation bias on my part.

Me and GP are town

So you already know, as we already know, that your role wasn't used on GP, who clearly used his revival on Austin. Why are you being coy about this?

My explanation for no night kill is scum refrained in an attempt to fake confirm themselves.

GP is town. You're not confirmed at all.
