Old votals! Arti best co-host

Now all we need is Jaded, the main event.

Hey oddity go kick him
---

also tag
---

Wait a second, @Jaded_Eye isn't here either!
---

you dangle these votals in front of my face now

how dare you
---

Jaded eye is on the Jaded sly right now.
---

thanks will do my thang in a couple hours

Oddity posted...

Jade just called me and he had... an IMMENSELY stressful day at work. He won't be posting today, and I doubt he'll post tomorrow, unless his situation drastically improves. He doesn't know I'm posting this because, frankly, mafia is the least of his worries right now. I think he might need a replace.

---

Well that's just prime
---

Hope everything's okay with Jaded, but at the same time, he really shouldn't be messaging you about the mafia game outside of the game
---

Hey Johnnbobb, can you just tell us what his role is?
---

Leo3L posted...

Hey Johnnbobb, can you just tell us what his role is?

what?
---

Because you're scum and all and I came only assume he's a buddy it's my funny jokes thats mostly kind of irritating
---

Leo are you drunk
---

It wasn't about the mafia game. We talk. We don't talk mafia.
---

When I say he won't be posting, I'm telling you my psychological evaluation of him.
---

inb4 Jaded comes back and steamrolls the game
---

Welp...
---

inb4 Ben has a tragic accident tonight and we never find out why Jaded is scum and he steamrolls the game
---

inb4 Johnbob is Independent Unlynchable Atomic Bomb and he steamrolls the game.

This. And no, Johnbobb, we did not talk mafia, only pain and misery.^

I can't even express how bad I feel right now IRL, but after how things flipped yesterday, thought I should check in before I collapsed from exhaustion. Not shocked that I am high in votals (if I am high on votals...I am so sick and tired that I literally just clicked last on the topics, saw everyone was talking about me in a easy lynch kind of way, and was like, yup, that's kind of what I figured.)

So here's my claim, straight up:

JC, Town Conspiracy Target.

Basically, I am a town taunt (whoever I target, they will use their night action on me instead of their intended victim/benefactor). Or a reverse bodyguard, which is how I thought of it after re-reading day 2 and looking up what a bodyguard was (thank you, Jaded, for not looking that up earlier and realizing that your own role was all the proof you needed to know that Kanz was scum...been getting lost in role meta hardcore a lot all game long). Haven't had much success with my taunting power so far, though. Will tell you my target for night 2 (I thought my role was more rng and less night action Night 1 so didn't use it. Whoops.):

I targeted IGCD with my taunt. Will expand more if Leo asks it of me because he is my surest townread at present. But not tonight. Because I profoundly need to get sleep.
---

Hope you feel better, Jaded. Thanks for checking in even though this is just a silly forum game.

That's...actually a pretty convincing claim from a newbie point of view. But I'll see what Ben says. My main question for when you have time is "why IGCD" ?
---

Oh, I just had that role in 2016 Mafia. Seems plausible. I'm guessing if Lopen buys it probably fits the flavor meta
---

Ooops that's like the 50th time I've mixed up whether a post was from Leo or Lopen. Why do your names look so similar!
---

Also, Jade, I hope I wasn't being presumptuous. If you happen to want a replace just msg gravy. I have to say, my read of jade as town is only further reinforced by the claim.
---

Sorry to hear you've had an awful day too... but.

Town Conspiracy Target... that's an awfully suspicious name for what is essentially a Lightning Rod... and why target IGCD? Did you even mention you found him scummy before that... but then he helps lynch scum and he's worthy of being targeted at night.

*scratches head furiously* Okay Ben let er rip.
---

I wish he would have gave some flavor. Any Mercs guys want to comment on that?
---

Based on the other roles we've seen such as RNJesus and Yes Man, I'm not too focused on the renamed role name and figure it's relevant to the flavor somehow
---

I followed mercs a little bit. I think it fits? IIRC Justin had a pretty wicked team early, but then I heard people talking like he was feeling victimized by some alliance of players or something. It's a shaky read, but Lopen should be able to expand on it.
---

LOL. Okay, this is interesting! I expected if Jaded was scum then he'd come in and claim vanilla real fast. But since he did not, it turns out i can vouch for him! HOWEVER, while ever so patiently waiting, I struck some unexpected gold.

My role lets me target a person at night and see if they moved. Jaded did in fact move on night 2... BUT, I targeted IGCD Night 1. He DID move. He is not vanilla!

And where on earth is the inventor role thing that Eaed mentioned? What was up with that?
---

I'm going to assume RNJesus was the inventor for now. Albeit Eaeds role with that PM is... strange to say the least. Still don't get Jaded's call there but it seems irrelevant at the moment.

So IGCD is likely scum, JB is likely scum. Is Mzero the only one left unclaimed? I still think we look busted on the power front, especially with Jaded claiming and seemingly being power too.

...and with noone claiming roleblocked I have to wonder what's going on. Unless Kanz's yes man was RB and they blocked and killed someone night 1 maybe... they've surely got a counter to this somewhere. Did Lopen ever say who he targeted night 1?
---

We know there was two kills night 1, so one scum role is probably some kind of extra shot.

Maybe RNJesus was like a schizo who visited someone random and did nothing, perhaps to mess with my role
---

hmm
i'd be more tempted to lynch IGCD then Johnbobb, since he didnt have to send in the NK
however if IGCD was the TownRB, he should have RBed Jaded night2, right?
I dont entirely trust Jadeds claim yet

probably safer to just lynch Johnbobb and then have Ben taunt IGCD again
---

What are you on about Death?

Ya know the more I think about it, if Eaed's and Jaded's claims are to be believed, and if we take Lopen and Ben's claims also. It looks more and more likely that Leo is infact Scum DV. He switches votes yesterday to Kanz to sell us on JB being town, But doesn't figure on Lopen watching Corrik, which busts JB and his plan to solidify them both as town. Then Ben comes out and we get a situation where IGCD is clearly lying or Ben is.

We've got so much power floating around that someone's definitely lying or scum have got some crazy ass power of their own, so doublevoter wouldn't be all that far fetched here.

I dunno, wanted to get that out there while it was fresh in my mind, but something definitely feels off... I need to work and rest and let all the claims sink in a bit.
---

JB is probably not ScumRB
IGCD could be, is what I am saying

That's called a sleepwalker, I believe, and they're usually Town.

Also, are you claiming Prosty?

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying here Death.
---

if a Taunter taunts an RB
do they get RBed?
---

I am around for like... 25ish minutes.
---

Opinions: ed's doubled invention thing is RNGesus. I still haven't entirely given up my suspicion on lopen. He's giving us a scum, but we have a lot of power, and if he's confident he can run the table then watcher is a safe claim. I guess if we have trouble finding the last scum we could consider his lynch, but he's much more likely town. Just a random thought I had anyway.

I don't know why you are trying to go 1 for 1 here but ok, lynch me then lynch him next.
---

I don't get why he needed Jaded to claim before he revealed, when he could have revealed what he was sooner and then revealed his actions after everyone had claimed, seems too convenient if you ask me.
