    I mean. That kind of IS the case on Fable. He's done a bunch of mildly questionable/not good stuff.

    That and he claimed Zealot D1 under moderate pressure, which I at least think makes little sense as town and a fair bit as scum trying to communicate that the Zealot role is currently with scum.

    Guaranteed kills are always better than other kills, 100% of the time.

    ... unless Fable isn't Zealot and they know?

    But we apparently aren't going there.

    Kai.

    Your original thoughts on "mechanically perfect" Hunter Plans were...

    ... are they different now?

    Spiritualist should probably not claim unless someone makes a good argument for why we might be living in lol!wolves world.

    Because if we accept that Rubicon was role killed through an angel protect we already know Mal's alignment.

    hey look it's why Fable is scum :V

    I mean I think there are probably reasons not to take an N1 guaranteed kill (like, well, the situation we're in NOW where it's wine on "Fable is scum" vs. "Fable was left alive so we'd assume he's scum") but still :V

    I want my PoE to be wrong so that you can be town and not sad.

    Honestly, part of my scumread on you is like... how upset you are at everything?

    I also don't want to have to bet the game on your alignment.

    It's a dick move strictly in the sense of a fun game. Taking away someone's ability to use their role to squeeze a few extra EV points out of the permutations is just like. Bleh.

    I mean yeah if it's black and white, sure, fine, whatever. But telling the Hunter not to shoot because "omg what if you miss"... meh.

    I've read probably all of owner's posts since I've replaced in. Skimmed the thread overall over the weekend a bit.

    I disagree with the characterization that she was posting just because of pressure from Citrus. Like... what kind of mental contortions do you have to go through to lie about not knowing you're a wagon at the same time you're like, literally being pressured for reads? Weren't those two things concurrent?

    Bah, I don't even know why I'm making this such a sticking point.

    Even assuming you're right and witches share your valuation (I'm skeptical), witches haven't actually made a kill that could fail yet.

    n1: no protect
    n2: rolekill

    --

    When I said perfect hunter plans, I meant ones that could transfer a bit of info from angels to the living. Which was what happened in WH12 and caused the original 'angels can only protect from coven' change.

    What we're currently discussing is 'how to make an optimal kill' which is not even in the same ballpark.

    Some things are so baffling there's really just one possible response.

    Newcomb didn't anyone ever tell you that only witches wink?

    Fact of the day: That used to be on the acolyte role card.

    I'm going to bed.

    I hate it when jokes don't land.

    I was referring to the fact that beruru saying I was "so upset at everything" is one of the most baffling misreads I've ever seen, to the point where it might actually make her town for sheer like...

    idk as a witch it would be an impressive amount of not paying attention.

    I'm pretty much done defending owner. I think Jarizok's a way better lynch here but at the end of the day my reads overall are squishy enough that I'm not going to fight it. Prepare for some postgame gloating if I'm right, though.

    Demons didn't actually have to Haunt Rubicon, even if there's two. Role kills exist, so Haunting Rubi just to make it look like a normal kill assumes that Angels would try to Angel Protect Rubicon. However, Demons and Angels should both know that, since Rubi is about to be role killed, using either Haunt or Protect (or both!) there wouldn't affect the outcome of the kill. Therefore, angels could have protected Rubicon even if there was only one angel (Dya), but I'm not sure that was the right thing to do?

    It probably shouldn't have happened in two angels, either. If you believe someone is about to be role killed, unless they have an extra life, you should probably leave them to die... unless you are expecting scum, for whatever reason, to not use a role kill.

    Isn't this correct?

    Like, Angel/Demon stuff is just Wine City, but we have to account for all possibilities.

    tl;dr The night result should have never happened in perfect play land, which is why people said it was an Illusion Kill. ... but Angels could have protected Rubi if Mal was a witch if Rubi wasn't haunted. ... it could also be that Angels thought that showing town that it was a successful role kill was important for some reason. ... it could also be that Angels had nowhere else that they thought was useful to put their protect.

    WH actually stands for Wine Hunt.

    -

    ... I think we have to resolve Citrus/Kai, now.

    I also... kind of want Vaimes to fight Newcomb? But. Vaimes is V/LA and Newcomb is disinterested and both Vaimes and Fable agreed to fight and then never actually...... wait, were they waiting on me? Well, you two don't have to fight anymore. Nice.

    I don't think 'angels could not think of anything better to do' is distinct from 'angels made a mistake'.

    I think my analysis here is comprehensive, if general, and second - unless you have a compelling argument / bit of info that suggests one thing over another, this is just a time waster to speculate on.

    I can't believe it...

    I finally climbed Top Poster Mountain.

    I think this is the first time I've been top poster in a game for at least half a decade. Holy shit.

    Time to make updated reads so that this post contains Good Content.

    - Beru Reads Zone -

    Beruru
    Silver
    Miner
    dichotomousCreator & his fluffiness (still contingent like my last reads post, though)
    Vaimes
    Newcomb (can stay here for now.) (I still can't read his behaviour properly, though. Dude, you look like a brick wall that someone put (fake?) angry eyebrows on to me.) (Can people who understand Newcomb help?)
    Wei
    -
    Citrus v. KaiDASH [2017]
    Owner
    Fable
    Jarizok

    .... yeah. This is the house where I live, now.

    If Fable/Jari actually shared a private chat this entire time I am going to lol so hard post game.

    This feels like a "path of least resistance" list, though? dC and Fluff still need to be dealt with. I think....? Yeah.

    I can entertain JW!Silver, Fluff/dC Things, Witch!Wei, and very specific worlds about Witch!Newcomb/Vaimes/Miner (not together, don't worry), but I don't want to do that right now because my brain hurts from six hours of screaming about mechanics and I want to go to bed.

    Also, we seriously definitely need to sort out Citrus vs. Kai. Like. Now would be great.
