Alright. Decided I should make this post before bed instead of waiting until tomorrow morning/afternoon,
but I also don't want to spend multiple hours writing this up. asdfasdfaf too late, ah well.
1. The item I received after the mystery bomb were
Magical Drawing Utensils. They came with a picture of Donut already drawn, which gave me the ability to ##Pastry someone last night. That supports Slaves claim back in #270 about his item and having drawn Donut N2. To clarify what the item does, it copies a player's
role ability.
2. My night actions for N3 were to ##Pastry Donut and ##Draw Purvis. I received one nibble last night which means SOMEONE targeted Donut and isn't fessing up.
3. My result of the ##Draw was exactly as Purvis said, the 'Governor' role that can stop a lynch from happening. This supports both Val and Purvis's statements.
Why did I ##Pastry Donut despite the death proof? I had the sinking feeling that as a result of my actions from D3 that I would be the primary lynch target. I also had the feeling that Donut might ##Pastry me instead of Purvis, so I chose to protect him in turn in case Donut got roleblocked last night.
So why do you suspect Purvis anyway? First i'll start with how I arrived at Purvis to begin with. Six people left, and I was assuming five townies and one scum at the time. I was sure Donut was town, and was feeling pretty good about Val being apathetic/new-Town mainly due to having the bat N1 and not using it. I was thinking that Eve was a self-kill or something not related to the vigbat related to her
blue alignment. And as Purv said in an earlier post, Eve would have been a stupid target anyway and they probably would have killed Kilga sooner than D2 if they had the chance.
I also thought Mode was probably not lying about her and Slabes being Masons (made perfect sense given their characters and all), but admittedly I thought the whole unconfirmed bit was a miscommunication and they were likely Town partners. Admittedly, I thought the whole unconfirmed bit about their roles could have just been a miscommunication of some kind or inconsistency in the mod pms. I had the magical drawing utensils at the time with a drawing of Donut, so that confirmed Slabes as telling the truth for me as well.
So, that left you, Purvis. And looking over the game history over N3 I couldn't find anything that cleared you as Town. Yes, you've participated a lot and have made some well-thought out posts, but that alone doesn't clear you in my eyes. You were holding back your role, and I noted that not once this entire game did anyone give you a good lookover. Donut seemed to decide you were definitely Town on D1, and the question of your alignment was never brought up again.
What did I find that raised red flags out of you? The biggest was your actions on D1. Post
#65 and post #69, you pressure Mode and chastise Pesco for not reading the mod's post saying multiple newbies, and say that 'this is not the sign of a person who reads'. Your next post in
#91 comes after serious bandwagons have formed on Pesco and Kilga. Look at post 65. Now at post 91. Now back to me. Purvis says that he's jumping onto Pesco's wagon "for all the reason I stated prior,", as if you suspected him all along. However, the ONLY comment you made about him prior was that he was not someone who reads, and that he needed to step up his game. I find this a scummy exaggeration.
D2, you express a general discontent towards the idea of TranceScum in both #116 and
]#173, with the latter post standing out as being especially wishywashy. And on D3 after I dropped the bombshell, you hung back until it was pretty clear that Trance dug his own grave. Val's premature hammer was annoying, but I realized it was only possible because both my and your vote were on Trance. Your reasoning for eventually slapping your vote down in
#277 doesn't make sense to me. "Wanted to get my vote on Trance in the event that someone is being a sneaky scum and LYING about not having the bat, because I expect Drake and myself to be the top two scum vig candidates." How would either of us getting vigged had made a difference in the outcome, anyway?
So... yeah, that's my piece. I'm still very suspicious of Purvis (and also the idea of his role seems to be inherently Anti-Town as far as I can see). However, I still don't know what to make of the current situation, especially the Psuedo-Mylo suggesting less than five townies and what the actions from N3 and claims from today are suggesting. Let me compile what we have so far into an easy to read list.
- Val knows Purv's rolename, which makes it likely she's telling the truth about her target last night.
- Mode's claim that she roleblocked Val is sketchy given this knowledge.
- I ##Pastried Donut and got one nibble. Someone targeted Donut last night.
If Mode is telling the truth and roleblocked Val, then Val is lying about having done her action last night, which would imply scum. But there's evidence suggesting she did indeed rolecop Purvis. If Mode is lying and instead tried to roleblock Donut and NK me or someone else, then it's odd that there is only one nibble between the two of us. Unless of course a roleblock + kill by the same person would only result in a single nibble, which is a possibility.
And before it's brought up, yes I checked if ##Pastry would stop roleblocks, and I got a confirmation that it would.
