I know I'm gonna be gone soon; I don't have to fight you, Natiko, but I will just 'cause
Rereading the posts from this day phase and something about this caught my attention. Blarg is saying that if anyone votes today it will overwrite his copy of Faddy's role.
yep
This does not add up with what happened previously.
and so you describe "what happened previously"--
At the end of D1 Faddy cast the last vote for Blarg. D2 Blarg sticks with what he said and reveals he has copied Faddy's role but claims he is still town.
yep; Roles, specifically Powers, not Alignments
He then says here that if he receives a vote today it will overwrite his Faddy role.
yep
This doesn't make sense logically. If he copies a role for each final vote he receives in a day phase, then wouldn't the logic dictate that he would be able to use the power that night?
hence my endearingly flippant corrective statement addressed to you, post-Post #whatevernumberthispostisthatI'mchewingonrightnow:
yeah, I read your "article"
Blarg copies Powers, and he needs a vote-free Day in order to carry out the last Day's gains
Not hard to understand, Nat
*ruffles Natiko's hair*
Which is proof that I had INDEED endeavoured to address your case against me, even though you just said above that I hadn't.
The way he's phrasing it means he has to D1 copy, N1 transform with no action, D2 receive no votes, and then finally N2 be able to perform copied roles action.
yep, great deduction
I can't be the only one that doesn't think that design makes any sense right? I'm pretty certain at this point that Blarg is lying.
and here we went
You know, I CAN look objectively at my current player self, at any time. I do it all the time in fact, it's how I build character, yeah? For instance, to you, and everyone else; I imagine I DO appear quite chaotic, "scrambling", a shambling laze that prays for the ooze I trail to moisturise my return trips down all my myriad ways. I imagine I DO appear quite a liar, and both my imagination and you would be correct, mostly.
But, you see, I do it as bait--
He either was able to use Faddy's actions last night and investigated someone or was one of the killers or he's lying outright about the entire claim.
--all possible possibilities--
I really would've liked to see what Blarg would have claimed today had Faddy not died.
--coalescing into the product I hope to tease out of all players' mouths:
Theoretically if Blarg is lying he could just have a killing power. We've generally been assuming that Faddy used his one shot kill last night, but would that have made much sense in his position? He likely didn't expect to die that night phase due to how suspect he looked from the day end. Wouldn't it have made more sense for him to hold onto the kill and try his hardest to argue his case D2? If he blindly uses his kill he has no surefire way to avoid his FA. Perhaps Faddy was killed by Blarg in order for Blarg to know what his claims today needed to be, and upon seeing that Faddy had a one shot kill he is now trying to frame things in such a way that he'll be able to explain the multiple kills tonight.
Theory aside though, I think Blarg is very likely to be lying or withholding information.
Theories. If I don't get you thinking, who will? Your speculation above is excellent, it's quite well thought-out and extrapolated to logical ends; all plausibilities, given what I've stated.
However,
your theories, much too conveniently put aside the the context in which Faddy's death occurred; by that, I mean the context of the other 3 deaths during N1.
You narrowed your angle of attack straight to a comparative N1 showdown of possibilities
involving only Faddy and I. And while they are all possibilities, they are undeniably overshadowed by what you deigned to not include: *Splinter, and his Town-aligned Vigilante Role.
A common tactic for a Town Vigilante, especially in the event of a Daytime tie, is to specifically target one of the subjects of the tie and kill them, so that at least half of the time spent in the Day's pursuits of the two, was not in vain.
Since Faddy turned up dead, we know *Splinter was a Vigilante and given the commonality of this Vigilante tactic; even after considering
me in the equation of the N1 deaths, I BELIEVE that what most likely happened is that *Splinter killed Faddy according to that common tactic, after deliberating between whether to take me out or Faddy. That's the simplest explanation given the evidence, circum
stantial or otherwise.
So, when you say things like this:
Perhaps Faddy was killed by Blarg in order for Blarg to know what his claims today needed to be
--I objectively, think about why. Why would I need to kill Faddy in order for me to figure out what my claims should be Today? Reading what I claimed, irregardless of activation time, I would've copied his Role, his Powers, and have all the Faddy intel I needed, without having to kill him at all. I had no possible motive for killing him. I took everything I needed from him without having to resort to violence.
So, why would you say this about me?
That's where your theory about me, Natiko, falls apart, and all that's left of it is a clear view of your own motives in cornering me against Faddy like that.
As a scum, you and your scummy friends know I'm a nigh-effortless shoe-in for a D2 lynch given my D1 antics, and it's clear by your narrowed theorising which excluded *Splinter and his Role, that your intent was to box me in, paint me as the killer despite me having no reason to be given what's in front of us, and finish me off.
UNVOTE
VOTE: Natiko
