Hi this is almost definitely a dumb question but does a scum flavour cop even make sense in this particular kind of setup, given the flavour?

If I'm scum and I scan someone as "Betty White dying on the last day of 2021" I'm really not getting much useful information.

Also, seeing the quote in MI's post now, the fact that Isquen capitalized Day Vigilante makes it seem like that's the role he was actually trying to claim.

Scum Flavour Cop seems kind of pointless. Town Flavour Cop would make more sense.
Also, Ben didn't claim Flavour Cop, just to be clear.

I implore people to go back and reread Isquen's claim because it didn't take long for me to look back at it and think he sounded full of it.

Would be a town confirmable role for scum but it isn't a flavor cop. It's a ROLEcop.

It wouldn't be as strong but I have seen it used here before recently as a day action, although I think same role had a more useful night action.

i've been thinking it over a bit and I have my reservations after last game but I can't find the real angle here with the information I have now.

Last game when I was scum with Ben, he built a whole strategy around sacrificing himself to secure the endgame (which we don't talk about...) that didn't link him to the rest of us. So it's definitely worth considering that potential option that Ben is just sacrificing himself in a 1 for 1 for either a town role or a scary independent and his play somehow absolves or misdirects from the rest of his teammates.

But if so, it's very puzzling why he would do this on day 1. there's so much unknown information about the composition of the game and there's no way the scum team can see the end game from this game state. it feels both unlikely and unnecessary to sacrifice himself this way unless they're just THAT afraid of Isquen's role and are somehow helpless to do anything about it at night.

i mean perhaps it's potentially effective specifically because it's unpredictable like that, but I don't particularly feel a strong sense of danger from going Isquen D1 -> Ben D2 if he were lying.

Let's just say that Scare is town... Isquen also could be town. He could also be "arsonist" though I doubt it based on what Isquen explained. Ben could also be Day Rolecop. But, Ben's play screams scum here regardless of all of this.

He won't answer any details on why he scanned who he did, when he did, what his flavor his, what his actual role (i think), and he could have also same-timed and didn't. He had problematic posts regarding Suprak and a clear caught in contradiction regarding it.

Like, I'm about to get into campaign mode on this and start getting obnoxious on this if I have to in order to point out exactly what is problematic here.

BEN could clear a lot of these questions up this very moment by just answering, but he won't.

Everything MI is saying right now is right, by the way. It's like I said - Corrik's post was about Isquen too. But let's talk facts.

Fact 1 - Lopen died. Scare immediately expressed regret. Ergo, Scare (at the minimum) planned to claim the kill on Lopen.
Fact 2 - Isquen was trying to push the kill onto someone else. Ergo, Isquen and Scare were not in cahoots with how this was going to play out.
Fact 3 - Isquen was hinting that he had killing abilities, and KNEW this had to be a Scum kill as soon as it happened. Ergo, Isquen probably has killing abilities.

I can't explain Scare making the shot as Scum. It would be intentionally being dumb to avoid suspicion. It doesn't make sense.

I can explain Isquen being Scum. There are going to be more daykills if he is a SK or something, so he freaked out because someone did a daykill and it wasn't him. Not a great reason.

I can explain Ben being Scum, but Isquen would have to be SILENCED for it to make sense.

ctesjbuvf posted...

Yeah. Isquen could just be an Arsonist and didn't claim his role name because, frankly, he didn't need to, and Ben got too excited.

Lea, I had to use my scan at least 12 hours before end of day to get it off and only Scare and Isquen were people who have claimed. I thought Scare was more believable and Isquen 's claim was so unique I thought scanning him would mean he had a unique role and make his alignment clear

Corrik,

Here's a possibility:

Scare is a Dayvig.
Isquen is an Arsonist (body doesn't get revealed).
Ben is a Rolecop.

All are Town.

If Scare is Scum Dayvig, then Lopen was on the fucking money and he just got silenced immediately.

Otherwise, for Scare to be Scum Dayvig, it just has to be a straight-up goofy kill.

And the shot was anonymous anyway. Why would Scare bother to claim it if he's Scum?

It also kindly neglects the fact MI could be scum in your town analysis or the fact you yourself are scum with them. Like, your analysis here is questionable because it is lynchpinned on Scare ain't scum cuz he didn't do what I would do. And you have made every single judgment from it. I am looking at this from possible angles, while you are looking at it from Scare must be Town.

This is Lopen levels of I picked my result now let me make it fit. What.

Did we ever ask Scare and Isquen how many shots they get? Are they both one-shot?

I've been trying to reconcile this whole situation and I'm honestly kind of leaning this way at the moment:

Scare - Town
Isquen - 3P
Ben - Scum

Ben scans because he knows both Scare and Isquen aren't scum and thinks one of them is likely the 3P. He thinks it's Isquen because it's probably not Scare. Then he reveals this information because of Arsonist. In theory he gets away with this and becomes at the very least confirmed role cop, who tried to do something pro-town.

One thing about Arsonist (and the double dayvig situation in general) that's been bothering me is that according to the mafia wiki, a night save on a person doesn't prevent their 'targeting' so it's an unblockable kill. Town having two possible unblockable kills on mafia (absent a BP of course) during the day strikes me as weird.
