yeah you know what?
vote: Ashersky
the bandages were available in round 2. i think he's searching for the doctor.
Let me explain the multitude of ways that doesn't work.
So, first let's make an assumption and see how it sorts out. "ashersky made an appeal to get players to claim their round in an effort to find who has the bandages, because ashersky believes the bandages are a doctor."
The assumptions within the assumption:
1) ash believes bandages = doctor
2) scum!ash cares about the doctor
3) scum!ash thinks knowing the rounds of players tells him the doctor
Based on my item, I think #1 is rubbish. But hey, not everyone does, as I'm sure some players might have made such a connection. And some items may make more thematic sense than mine, but who knows. Scum cares about investigative roles much more than protective roles, so #2 is weak. But both of these are subjective opinions anyway. Let's look at #3.
In an effort to help cayvie's argument, let's create the most perfect scum scenario for this. I went r2. Let's say there are 4 scum and we all went r2.
There were 10 items available in round 2. For this bandage fishing to be a thing, all four of us scum got something else.
We started with 20 items, so there should be 10 first rounders (this was what my actual plan was trying to confirm). That leaves 6 2rs. If 4 scum were in those six, I want to know the other two. At that point, I have a 50/50 chance at the player who MIGHT have taken bandages.
Is that your basic argument for my rolefishing? If you reduce the number of scum partners I have in r2 with me, that only decreases my odds.
But we can add my draft place into the mix -- so if I tried to choose bandages (from last place) but didn't get them, that at least confirms they were taken. So now scum!ash knows bandages are in the game, doesn't know what they are, and wants to find out who has them by narrowing the pool of possible players through a round claim.
Is that about right?
Man, that seems like a ton of work/risk for a small reward, where in the best case scenario I have a 50/50 chance of knowing who has the bandages (where if there are four scum AND I put bandages in my draft list).
Yeah, that seems worth it.
