I think new york and lock is possible if swowl missed jail, but rikers specifically clearly points to new york so let’s go
new york -> jail
So yeah. I mean, two things going on here. One, the setup was more scum-sided than I anticipated and I should have buffed up town more.
But also, town no-exiled twice. Hard to imagine town ever winning a game that way. And scum managed to eliminate town's most powerful role on night 1.
So, you know, you can't blame me for everything.
You were supposed to get half of the flips -- the ones from exiles -- which I thought would give enough info to make the game playable. And scola had a secret secondary ability that would tell him if players were dead if he copped them. But then you guys only ever managed one exile so you only ever got one flip.
I actually thought the setup was really inspired and has a TON of potential nuance. In a non-BM more open setup where the general mechanic is known, there’s a lot to play around with here. Clearly throwing away our only known means of obtaining information TWICE was never going to result in a town win.
I knew with 100% certainty Didds wasn’t lying about her role. And I knew with 100% certainty that she and EFHW weren’t both town. I just really didn’t think Didd’s PR could be scum! 🤣
How did you know??

I mean unless dayvig happens in the discord and so WCD has done her shot and it's just joth not around.
But I'd still think WCD would tell us here.
Only hope at this point.

How is no one around??? 3 minutes to DL. I don't think there's anything I can do here on my own.
Answer to how the dayvig works! The kill happens and the day resets.
Can someone remind me again what ExLo and Mylo are? (i.e. what's the difference)
Then there's Galz's post to consider. Scum could prefer to exile someone already dead because we wouldn't have time to scramble up a new exile and town wouldn't get a flip. And then it's not one of them. The information about who has been nk'd isn't all that valuable and not a bad trade for a no exile. Finally, trying to avoid some town exiles narrows the focus, making a scum exile more likely. Galz also doesn't follow up with any implications of his point for scumhunting. This does sound like something scum would consider while looking for a voting strategy, but I doubt it would be at all significant or discernible in their play. This fits right into my belief that Galz is scum..
My problem with Didds shooting is that if exiling is the only way to establish a flip, that kind of puts us in a rough spot.
I think that is unlikely given that we think the dayvig is there to compensate for a lack of voters. But I also think exile is better if we can manage it, for vca later.
I won't be on at deadline, but will be earlier in the day.
