As a community we need to agree to stop using gladiator

But again, if we want to use it it must be before 10pm.

it's not my favorite role. I think this is my first time getting it though.

But my memories!

(testing my clock post)

(Really, off by 1 second?)

sure whatever testing

Anyway this is the comment from Sbell when he was about to die that made me think he was town before this claim.

Yeah, guys town here maybe not letting me die would be good.

So i was expecting a non vanilla claim from him because of this. That tracks.

But gladiator? Is that an important role?

A gladiator and a day vig(confrimed) And a killing scum role(confirmed).
And a SK

That seems like a shit ton of Extra killing roles

Andrew Cuomo, TOWN Vanilla

Tremble before me!

I am Dustin Diamond, TOWN Odd Night Tracker/Watcher

On odd-numbered nights, I can track one person and watch another (can be same person or different people). Flavor is basically that he's famous for playing Screech, who was an "Odd" guy but was super smart so he can do two actions at once.

After day 1 happened and it looked like there was SO much power out there, I heavily miscalculated and thought this was going to be closer to role madness in power level, so I was okay with trying to bait another roleblock even though my role was in fact pretty strong. I thought it was a reasonable gamble/bluff to make a sub-optimal play because obviously no one with an actually strong role would freely admit they were roleblocked. So I thought scum would take the bait that my role was bad and start roleblocking someone else. But in reality there doesn't appear to be much else to roleblock and that's where I've calculated wrong and thus...

Action report:

N1: Track: TotallyNotMI; Watch: Han (roleblocked)
N2: N/A
N3: Track: Death; Watch: TotallyNotMI (roleblocked)

so yeah sometimes you do suboptimal plays and they just prove why they're suboptimal. :(

Death: Hi guys, I am [Insert flavor as generic as Kellam here. In this context, some rando who died in 2021], TOWN Vanilla.

Ctes: I am also town vanilla but with a distinct quirk that makes my flavor different from yours. possibly intentionally to make us look opposed.

Ben saying he would just die if sbell gladiates him does not track from a town perspective.

Go for it sbell

Close but no cigar, Ben

Also what the hell Changmas?
Why would you claim you were roleblocked with a power like that?

I think Sbell is town. And people need to kill me already just so they can shut up about killing me and win the game. >_>

Gladiator isn't an extra kill

To get blocked again N2

It tracks

Oh okay I read your explanation and am less upset now.
Still tho!

i was okay getting blocked again N2, i was just hoping there was enough other power in the game that they would have something else to block by N3 and leave me alone after i bluffed that my power wasn't good. however the composition of the game didn't really suit that so i'm just perma RB'd regardless of claiming

I mean if doctor is our only roleblockable action scum doesn't get a roleblocker and might feel like they could set this up.

But that would be a big swing to assume no watcher or tracker when they have a ninja so this is probably a conspiracy theory hmm

I'm just curious why scum would've picked to block him

Well I guess Ctes' role is kinda obvious at this point too.

Chang probably just town and I'm overthinking this.

Look claims cleared chang and sbell isn't that nifty

TotallyNotMI posted...

Its up to his interpretation, but some town might see it as confirmable. Its not like if scum he was ever planning to claim something else

gladiator isn't killing just forces the lynch to be between me and someone else.

Now we have likely 3 scum in a pool of 6!

Sbell gladiating here seems like a good idea

Not sure if it proves he isn't a scum gladiator but I don't think gladiator is especially strong at this point in the game

Who still needs to claim? Sultan and ctes?

oh uhhh on day 1 i posted something like "there seems to be a large power budget in this game" based on the three claims we knew at this point which in retrospect was a large gaffe on my part because it probably indicated i had something myself

Chang is definitely town, but I knew this

Mzero,
Death,
Ctes.

Kill them and win gg the end

Scum getting dayvig and Gladiator does sound unfair.
Tho if he is scum he still risks himself.

I thought we had! I'm certaintly done using it

(or is that exactly what i want the playerbase to think o.....o)

Well it is but it isn't. I guess

Dont listen to him, Sbell
I think Gladiators are cool

Ben's next game. Town is all gladiators with various modifiers

Thought it was commonly known that I am Vanilla

no, it's not at all.
if I gladiate someone. the lynch pool juts dwindles to two for the day instead of 10.
Nirmal lynch. nothing extra

The one time Ben can lock himself into a deathmatch with me, and he has to host.

I mean its similar to a vig in a sense is more or less what I was trying to get to

but yeah in retrospect i 100% should have stayed silent about all things power-related and pretended i was a good lil vanilla townie and gotten my power off on day 3. i thought i could draw some suspicion and keep myself alive longer this way though but clearly it didn't really work out how i intended

anyway lunchtime i'll be back later this afternoon

no, cause a vig Is an EXTRA kill that doesn't end the day.

gladiator is still the normal day lynch. you just don't get to vote for whoever you want, only who i say.

I think it was a good play. You remind me of a younger myself. ....or uh, maybe a current myself. Ya know you're all probably older than me

41 in 2 weeks

We should go back and make sure there weren't any lynches where sbell hated both options
