We're not lynching Sesc without a counter.

 

One of the reasons why I town read Citrus so hard early on was his first "I am the Priest" post. Literally one of the towniest things you can do in this game is have something like that in the air to potentially fuck up soup. Are you fucking serious Sesc?

 

Without saying anything about anything - can we agree that anyone with mechanical knowledge that Sesc is lying here should NOT out unless it's clear Sesc is not going to be lynched? Maaaaybe not even then? Like I'm not sure how much we should talk about it, but does that first part at least make sense?

I'm having a hard time buying this. Priest checked me last night in like 99/100 worlds, and GIVEN OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TODAY, if Priest didn't target me, then doesn't that cast some doubt on Riley?

Like.

Sesc/Riley/??? going for the win. town!Kalas, town lost 4 people on D1 and they smell blood in the water.

Is this a thing? Is there any way we can talk about this without spilling too much info? I'm fucking terrified we're about to step in quicksand here.

 

No, but I want to keep the pressure on until we figure out a way to find out whether or not he's lying.

Nobody move votes. We will get to the bottom of this.

 

No, wait, hang on. If Sesc is lying then priest probably DID target me. And then my paranoia doesn't make sense, because Riley is more likely to be real. Um. Does that track?

 

Riley claimed hard info.

Either Sesc/Riley, or much more likely, town!Riley telling the truth and witch!Sesc.

If Sesc is Priest, Riley does not have that definitive info. There's no way he'd also target fontisian when all things were pointing to Newcomb.

I'm much more inclined to go with Riley than a desperate Sesc on the chopping block. But we'll read more into it.

What the fuck do we even begin to do with this.

 

Meh. I'm going to re-read some things and try to clear stuff up. We have 24 hours or so, so that's good.

 

Yes. That tracks. Riley claimed the info, Sesc is not Priest because he says he targeted fontisian, but in order for Riley to have that info, the Priest targeted Newcomb.

Unless Riley is Graverobber in which case we have no way of discerning if Sesc is telling the truth or not. Only the witches know if Riley could be Graverobber.

 

Not actually true. Clown, Oracle and Priest were all supposed to target Newcomb. Also, Riley could be the Graverobber.

 

Newcomb - I need you to put heads together with me on this.

We need to come up with a way for Acolyte to give us a signal that a Sesc lynch is okay, because Acolyte knows he's lying - without the Acolyte being revealed, because if it's witch!Sesc then this is a clear role fish. In this world, dead!Jan is Priest.

That method also needs to have an opposite effect of letting us know if the lynch against Sesc is NOT okay because Sesc is telling the truth. But that's harder, because in this world dead!Jan could potentially be the Acolyte.

Yas thank you fonti.

Can you work with me on the previous thing I said in this post too?

WAIT.

I thought Oracle results were dependent on targeting the same person as Priest. It's any other person.

There's a monkey wrench in there.

 

...this tracks.

Fuck you, Sesc. In either alignment right now.

Start convincing me why Priest is you and not dead.

 

Because statistics.

 

So are we saying real Priest CCs always here? No CC = Jan was Priest or Sesc is?

 

Acolyte always cc's here and claims priest. Or the priest cc's and claims priest.

 

I'm stepping out and mulling it over.

I think we're in a holding pattern anyway until everyone still alive has posted? Except for Riley I guess?

Sesc, if you're real, who's the lynch?

Nice try though.

You know, I actually decided I'd go into this game claiming "I am the Priest" no matter what role I got. And I almost chickened out when I saw my role-card, because damn if I wanted to potentially throw a game on something like that. But it was just. So. Tantalizing.

But hey, guess what? Yeah I'm talking to you, haters of my history in soft-claiming. There's no way you can fault me for soft-claiming this time now can you? Yeah that's right.

Shout-out to Fontisian for wise words such as these:

Because I do enjoy being placed in-between a rock and a hard place, but things like this mean /everyone/ is placed in such a situation.

So. First up, I got a town-check on Newcomb. Hence, why it's worth throwing a game on the risk he's scum. Because surprise! He's not.

Now down to the meat of the rest of this day. Guess what kids? We're not lynching Sesc. yet.

Yeap you read that right. Not lynching him yet. Yes, this is the correct decision.

Scum now are relatively fucked. Either they leave us both to resolve this lynch tomorrow, in which case boom-shakalaka got a N2 check off, or they resolve the situation for us. Self-resolving problem said what!

So. Who do we lynch?

Ironically, the bright side of Sesc's fake-claim is that we now know that Fontisian's town. I'm willing to bet the game that Sesc/Fontisian are unaligned as I've argued for ages, meaning Fontisian is in fact town.

So what do we have left:

Still strongly town-reading Cobalt.
Town-reading Tyrene.

If Riley told the truth, Kalas is scum, meaning we've gotta dig through Taure/Waco.
