    I think it's unlikely they then didn't just try to mislynch him. Like, unless the PR was lynchproof, which why >_>

    Backup rolecop spec in my case comes from a combination of this, setup symmetry (rolecop + backup + roleblocker + backup + 5th just seems neater), and the fact that the rolecop is clearly supposed to help aim the roleblocker so having a backup for the roleblocker and NOT the rolecop is weird.

    Pretty sure this world was predicated on town!Cobalt.

    Hmm.

    Cobalt flip made him look really good though.

    Yes but he's uh, maintaining belief of a backup rolecop, using it as part of his reads. Stating he's not convinced there's 5 scum at the same time. Like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? Disconnect much?

    ---------- Post automerged at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

    Like I'm looking for what he /actually/ believes here and find nothing to be the answer?
    Yet he's doing lynch lists?

    Uh, no, it's the opposite of that. Cobalt being town would mean Cobalt was a tracker, which would mean MORE town power. The point I was making is that rolecop/roleblocker scale up in strength the more power town has, so they're to some degree entirely balance-independent of town's power.

    As for the Cobalt flip, in what way did that make Kai look better than the person who literally vigged a scum?

    That post is kind of convoluted so I might be having reading comprehension issues here. Makes more sense I guess.

    It didn't but also towny probably PR > very towny PR who is effectively vanilla?

    We had this conversation yesterday, you're well aware that Cobalts flip makes/made Kai look town, your whole stance of "mafia could have kept him alive to mslynch him" after all of this just reads......really fake.

    Yeah I can't follow what dC is saying but whenever I read Reg posts I feel the inexplicable sense that he is bamboozling me with Many Words.

    The early game mutual townreads between Reg and Cobalt still bother me a lot but idk if those aren't actually w/v interactions.

    I'd disagree, but I guess that's because I enjoy-

    wait, I'm stupid, the regular scum roleblocker hasn't flipped yet. New question: Why not roleblock Kai and kill Vaimes, then?
    Regfan --- There's a vast gulf between "looks good" and "never mislynchable". I direct you to your read on me earlier in the game.

    Man this "didn't realise the RB hadn't died yet" feels beyond fake.

    And Kai was pretty much hard clear via interactions with Cobalt and the fact that setup-wise it just doesn't work if he's also mafia. There's a difference between that and a read like "that person feels town".

    I have to say I laughed. But...I feel like perhaps you did the thing I do sometimes where I write serious responses to things, look at them, reconsider, delete them, and instead make a humorous and lighthearted quip. Am I projecting?

    I hope scum has fun deciding whether I'm actually tinfoiling Vaimes or this is just a halfhearted ploy to get a locktown to endgame.

    Also, the answer to questions about whether Stanari is projecting is always yes.

    You literally had me in a "never scum" group, Regfan. None of that. And I've already expressed my thoughts on setup power here.

    Yes. Also you're lying, I'm never funny.

    Yeah, there were two large reasons I thought you were town, already gone into this. I think I even made a post D2 of "Force myself to come back to this to prove that DC is town because I'm starting to worry about his play" (I can grab it if need be) but referred to the timing of your Zenzao defence and his scum claim not fitting scum talk which scum likely just don't have. Also town read your play in general D1 and very early D2 but since then I haven't at all?

    Which is fine, except for the bit where there's an underlying assumption that nothing new could happen that would then shake up a Kai townread in the same way. Recall that I hard towned Cobalt for interactions with Zen and look how THAT turned out. It's certainly more likely to happen to Kai than it is to Vaimes, and like I said before they could roleblock PR!Kai rather than killing him if they had a non-specific PR read on him.

    This is emotionally manipulative!!! I'm very disappointed in you!!

    It's probably bedtime for Satanair, I've devolved into just screaming at people.

    Embrace the true Stanari.

    I should probably catch up on the work I'm behind too.
