Lots of walls that feel like no one is actually reading my posts make this game horribly demotivational. Not even in the misinterprety sense, in the everyone-has-me-filtered sense. Like multiple people that claim to not see reasons to suspect IHNN (Serela and Cheez I remember, there might have been more?) despite the fact that I pointed out a pretty damn good one yesterday and pointed it out again today.
I keep forgetting that IHNN being disabled makes me think he's probably not scum. But I guess it could be a gambit?
This also needs to be nipped in the bud. I disabled IHNN. I didn't get the chance to reread the game and realize what I did about NNR's approach to D2 because I spent the entire day busy (and most of it away from home), so IHNN's suspect handling of Dan's claim stuck out the most in my mind.
As long as I'm roleclaiming, I was roleblocked Night 1 in my attempt to disable Schezo. This was a ~*~super secret~*~ part of my openness to voting for Sky Paladin; he claimed targeting me N1 with an action whose effects are impossible to verify when he could have been seen targeting me by a Watcher.
These implications irritate me beyond belief.
First off, I was very sure Dan was scum. Why wouldn't I? It was very well-reflected in my vote. He was scum who made a really awful (and convienent) claim to getting caught via crumb by the weak tracker, which he made all the more apparent by the one taboo of town, self-voting.
Dan's trying to wave the claim also pissed me off, trying to imply, I, NekoRex, the eternal Town Miller, doesn't know know how to play Miller roles, is simply absurd. I think I've had the role or a variant or claimed it 4 or 5 times since I've been here? That is pretty bloody often.
I don't know why it's such a crime I can't have a good idea, either. Yes, it wasn't a good idea in hindsight, but I thought it would be the best idea with what we knew. I took into the account the possibilities and risks I could think of and offered it. He was confirmed scum, so why not take the opportunity?
It's really bad that you think I need to stall to "keep from admitting I believed the claim". Why would I ever believe it? I have no reason to. That's horribly far fetched.
You missed the point of what I was getting at. Let's review my initial assertion.
So I'm thinking that Dan being a Miller meant that scum would want him alive as a distraction for as long as possible.
How can scum try to keep Dan alive? By not voting for him, obviously. But like I explained on D2, Dan was a black-and-white issue; one either believed the miller claim and thought him town or didn't believe the miller claim and thought him scum. In order for scum to try to keep Dan alive, they are then forced to explain why they believed Dan's claim (so they can reasonably not vote for him), which, despite how close the trains were in the end, spent most of the day being a not very popular opinion (and was a difficult position to argue even when popularity is ignored).
What you did, however, was find a position to take that gave you an excuse to not vote for Dan while simultaneously not having to make up a reason why you didn't believe the miller claim, which allowed you to continue to publicly not believe the miller claim. (This even happened when you switched your vote to Schezo.)
The problem with
that is:
He was confirmed scum, so why not take the opportunity?
Because Dan might have a harmful night action that he can use N2 if he's still alive. Because the scum team might have a Doctor that can save Dan from the vig shot. Because the scum team might have a Bus Driver or a Hijacker or some other redirecting role and can redirect the vig kill to someone else of their choosing. Because the scum team might have any number of other tools at their disposal to mess up a publicly-disccused plan of action.
Your proposed plan was incredibly flawed to the point of being beneficial to scum, and it was flawed for reasons 100% unrelated to the fact that the tracker was dead. It was a pro-scum proposal given to allow you to take a scummy action (accusing Dan of BSing his miller claim while not actually voting for him). This is why I believe you need to die.
