    I think he's town, call it a townlean, but not as much as I think Reg is scum. Especially given the inconsistency in his reads has continued to toDay.

    You son of bitches, that was private.

    He probably wouldn't vest Fluff if he's scum though he might just so that he's not outed mafia upon the flip? The scenario though is a) If he's mafia, we lynch mafia - awesome!, b) If he's town he vests Fluff and Fluff is immune from the night kill, if mafia shoot Fluff to remove that vest then Miners shot becomes activated - awesome! That's what I'm referring to re; win/win.

    You can't think one is one alignment and one is the other, that makes literally no sense.

    Either they're both villagers or they're both witches.

    See it's reads and comments like this just feel so...empty, barely thought through and fake. If you've got a strong scum read on me, a weak town lean on Cobalt you've got something that's clearly not right but you're not doing a single thing to attempt to resolve it. This isn't so much a let the mechanics people do their thing as a, get a solid read on X, Y is the same alignment thing.

    Like this just does not feel real from you at all.

    It was posted in a public forum. :(

    Alright, that makes sense. I'm okay with this plan then.

    Catching up.

    Can someone hit me with the full list of claims? I think I've seen all of them but I can't remember some of them offhand.

    I'm disappointed that wasn't a secret love letter.

    This continues to make me think Atum & Cobalt are unaligned.

    Not caught up completely, but from what I"m seeing, Koalas Nursed Miner and then went "whatever, I played like crap, lynch me."

    Which, mrgle.

    Witch!Koalas has two roads here - either give up, or don't give up. If he gives up, he outs as mafia and Nurses himself, forcing us to deal with his extra life. If he doesn't give up, he Nurses Miner and tries.

    This is... door number 3?

    Like, I don't get the angle here.

    He could be /with/ Miner and it's a bit of theater but then why hesitate to Nurse Delphine in the first place?

    OTOH if he's town this is like. What, resigned to his fate? I've seen Koalas mislynched a couple times and it didn't look like this, at all.

    Having trouble making Koalas's play fit a narrative here.

    Hum. Thanks, Vira.

    I'm not crazy about the mass claim, but there's not much reason to not do it after a D2 Priest claim.

    I'm kinda dragging myself through this catchup. It's heavily reminding me of WH12 on FantasyStrike where town spent like 15 pages theorycrafting what to do with Caphriel's Hunter shot and eventually scum just conceded, which was a relief because the neverending mechanics were making me want to put an ice pick through my temple.

    Do you think it's crazy to consider a Fonti/Rubicon/Kai team here? It doesn't look, like, super likely but it's a bit how I imagine that team might consider playing out toDay.

    I think owner's spew re: Jarizok is a ~decently~ compelling point. I don't see it as clearing, but it's a point in his favor.

    I'm going to put Kai on mute, don't think continuing to engage there is going to do anything for my reads.

    WH online rules diverged from offline WH a long time ago, Jan's ruleset in the signups was from an extremely old version.

    This is the changelog from the signups to what we're actually playing on (which Eido intended to use the whole time):

    CHANGELOG

    1.1 -> 1.1a (18 JAN 16)
    • Codified the unofficial rule allowing Witches to trade characters during pregame.
    • Made explicit how many Witches there are for a certain player count.
    1.1 -> 1.2 (5 FEB 16)
    • Spiritualist now names their target privately.
    • Added Pagan character.
    • Clarified how Peeping Tom works.
    1.2 -> WH13 Ruleset (21 MAR 16)
    • Assassin now doesn't die when he fails to kill.
    • Hunter and Assassin may not self target.
    • Inquisitor only checks for holy / not holy.
    WH13 -> 1.3 (4 APR 16)
    • Witches may no longer trade characters within themselves, except for a single trade with the extra character.
    • Clarified Angel / Demon rules (no changes made)
    • Characters are now called Roles.

    1.3 -> WH8 (DLP) (23 APR 17)
    • Bomber removed
    • Clarified what happens when Peeping Tom selects the extra, unused Witch Role.

    We're also using the whole "Angels can only block the NK" thing, right?

    Please tell me that's right. There's only so much I can take.

    Yes. I must have forgot to put that in the changelist, but it is in the rules themselves.

    I think that trio is a possibility.

    I'm torn on Jarizok. Some of his posts today just scream town to me, but the conspiracy theory in my mind is scum used the WH7 play and Jan was gd.

    It had to do with the kind of holistic flow of that conversation; going in-depth on it is not something I'm really up for right now. Can get into it tomorrow, potentially.

    Is deadline in 2 hours, or did we get an extension because of Koalas firing?
