More like, why scola over you? I feel like the kills have been revolving around scola. Awaclus was fighting him, and Swowl was saying a bunch of things related to scola that I can't remember right now. I don't really have a reason other than that.
I did notice this as well. My best guess is it's scum having read over my last game and seeing that I did something similar as scum in the end game there, in order to try to make me an easy brigging target.
N1 I learned that it's possible a human-aligned player can become cylon-aligned.
N2 I learned what happened if a military became president and didn't revoke their powers.
N3 I learned that there's at least 1 cylon-aligned player in the Jack wagon.
Is it possible that a Survivor MiX lies about one (or more) of these? I doubt it, but I could see him doing that in order to cover for something he'd rather not share.
• first one does feels a little sketchy in that he learned that after Awaclus basically confirmed this for us when telling us he was given a choice to switch. Second one would be a more risky lie as we could verify (but only
• 2nd one is only verifiable once MiX is brigged or incapacitated so why would he care? That said, he'd have had to come up with it and it does seem a reasonable actual design
• 3rd one could be used to get us down the path of brigging people from that wagon
This is a little bit random, but I’m going to kind of claim one of my powers because it could be helpful. I could ascertain whether or not ADK’s wincon is compatible with town’s. It’s a one shot power, and it’s not limited to just that question, but the answer can’t be tampered with, so I would know it’s truthful. If he can win with town, we should definitely try to find scum today instead of that, but if he’s 3rd party that straight up can’t win with town, it’s probably not a bad idea to eliminate him earlier rather than later.
I’ll wait for opinions before actually taking an action. Also, my understanding is that I can use it any time during the game as opposed to at night, so if I’m not mistaken we can know that before EOD.
My initial thought when I read this was that this was a great idea, but others had some good arguments a little later that have put me in a the on the fence camp. Can you give us more detail on what you can (or cannot) ask?
Personally, I'm not voting for Scola. I know he's suspicious of me for appearing to white-knighting him or whatever, but honestly he just says stuff I agree with most of the time, and I have to assume that a scum player wouldn't say the same things so naturally. Meanwhile, I have much less to agree with from either you (Didds) or EFHW. [I started writing this post a few hours ago, before making the post where I just agreed with EFHW...]
It's also worth noting that "at least one on-wagon cylon-aligned player" could mean "exactly one on-wagon cylon-aligned player", and there were six people on-wagon and six off-wagon. If we expect there to be three cylon-aligned players (I don't know if this is accurate; the balance probably depends what other alignments and switching mechanics faust built into the game), then there could easily still be a stronger chance of hitting a cylon-aligned player if we look off-wagon than if we look on it.
Is the term white-knighting or buddying? (or either) Regardless, I think that less now. I don't think I've ever been white knighted in a game before, but my gut is that at some point one would choose at least some things to disagree with, and maybe more important, bring attention to that. Occam's razor makes me think that we're just reading this game in a similar fashion.
Add to that that my current thought scum team is WCD, Robz, +1; I don' think you quite fit there as the third.
And continuing or agreement (ow it's my turn), I do like the idea of looking off wagon. We know swowl was human aligned so, really it's 6 and 5, and if you just look at the other wagon, 6 and 4. I'm willing to switch my vote to Robz, but I won't immediately, as I want to check the vote count.
