Here's the death-note that I wrote yesterday. I was very worried of getting lynched yesterday when i didn't counterclaim. Because when I let ADK get "conf-town" instead of countering, that lynch could have easily fallen on me. Voltaire, a very loud speaker, had said that I was the backup lynch:
---------
damn. I am the real cop, as you will soon find out. I very carefully worded my 'reaction' to ADK's claim (which I absolutely read before doing my reread).
whoa. just saw that ADK claimed cop. Well that should solve things. Without a counterclaim, it's got to be Nik/faust then. Perfect.
This sentence is 100% true, and I specifically did not include the words "i am not cop" [gee thanks, wither
]. If I'm not lynched (and wither is scum), ADK claiming will solve things for me.
I am confident Wither is town. ADK is obvscum.
So it comes down to (faust, Nik, voltaire).
I had wanted to lynch one, and investigate one of the remaining 2 tonight.
Nik is 100% my biggest suspect in that group. faust is second, I waffle on him a lot more. Volt I'm alllllmost sure is town. But I really really wanted taht investigation to be sure.
Anyway. Look hard hard hard at Nik tomorrow. He should be the default suspect, and he has to do a lot of work to pull suspicion off of him. His interactions with ADK do not look good.
[and one addendum: it took a LOOOOT of thought for me to decide not to counterclaim. If I counterclaim, we will catch ADK, but I am very worried that his partner is not catchable. There is a high likelihood that I'll be lynched for lying about my role, and that's justifiable. Under normal circumstances, town should not lie. I've probably even said that somewhere. Still, after much debate, I decided this was the best course of action for this one game.]
________________
fallout from scum not being counterclaimedUnfortunately, wither was the first person who was confused that there was no counterclaim. Arg, that makes me mad. Why does this game keep getting more complicated.
ruminations on ADK's partnerI guess when I think about it, ADK is not worried about trading 1-1 with the cop. He's worried about the real cop finding his partner. If Volt is serious about the ADK/faust/shraeye triple (and wither is ADK's partner), then ADK would win by getting lynched (he's scum, which will confirm to Volt that faust/shraeye are final scum). So if ADK/wither is the scumteam, they are very worried that cop will out wither on day3?
Hmmmm, does that narrative actually make sense?
What if it's ADK/Nik...I guess same deal. There hasn't been a ton of suspicion around Nik (well there has been, actually, but nobody's acted on it).
I think that ADK would have played differently if it were ADK/faust. Because two scum are in the triple that Volt called out, I think that faust/ADK both push harder to get me mislynched, hoping that they can win a competing cop claim scenario on day3 (they only need 3 mislynches to win...mcmc/shraeye/cop...the only problem is they don't know I'm cop)
So I actually don't think that faust is ADK's partner. I mean maybe, if ADK is playing scum well, I think he doesn't claim cop when faust is his partner. But it's possible that ADK isn't playing scum well.
