That sounds too complicated to be true.

@Gobo Scarlet: do confirmation stage votes (besides the obvious joke votes) count?

@Rubik: I'm just curious for the reasoning behind the vote.

@Freddeh: I'm wondering why you feel Zinger's NLP should be in effect before his first post.

@15377: Wow... If this is true that seems a powerful ability.

@Shockwave: I thought I remembered him saying that he has to have it be his first thing said, but I could be misremembering and probably am.

@Numbers: Interesting, unfortunately its too easily gamed at this point, especially with your limitation. Later on it would be more powerful, but its likely you'll just take a bullet and we'll be stuck looking at 6ish different people of which only 1 is confirmed scum (probably). Never mind the fact that you could be scum yourself.

It's a nerfed commuter. Well nerf is probably the wrong word since it's more of a sidegrade.

Something about his exchange with KoD felt uncharacteristically dispassionate to me.

Posts generally speaking have better quality when you type with your hands rather than rolling your face over your keyboard.

@Rubik: What's complicated about I choose who can target me?

@Fred: As I said, I've chosen this path purely for the sake of town's benefit. If I eat a bullet, unless town shot me, you know there's guaranteed scum on my list. Benefit town. (If town does shoot me, you're a dumbass for wasting a bullet when you could argue for a lynch and bringing inevitable heat down on you when I flip). Town that's not on my list can choose to target me still, but they'll waste their time. If they don't believe me then confirmation. If they do, then they've wasted no efforts. Either way, benefit town. Can scum work around it? Sure. If they couldn't clearly game balance would be in question.

Alternatively I could have said nothing. Baited scum, gone for a bullet proof methodology, but that route would undoubtedly draw town's targetings as well, foiling town abilities and maybe one night kill. Cost to benefit doesn't even out there.

JaC's designed complicated roles in the past.

@Numbers:
Spoiler


Assuming Numbers is being genuine about his role (and he isn't scum), then his claim and openness really do benefit town for the reasons he's already stated. He could withhold his claim, but then, being one of the more experienced mafia players, he runs the risk of potentially getting himself killed without being able to inform us of his ability. That results in a huge advantage to us in being able to narrow down scum.

@Rubik:

Dispassionate? I like to imagine that when he's speaking to me he has a smug look on his face. It motivates me to compete against him.

I may have a problem.

:V

@Mod: as you may or may not know, during the summer I am a wildfire fighter, and as you may or may not know, the province of Alberta is currently undergoing a major fire crisis right now. This may or may not impact my ability to play this game, depending on whether or not I get sent out there.

@Numbers:
[spoiler]On the contrary, it is something I overlooked simply because I am focused on nailing your scummy self. The reason for the oversight is simple: In bringing to bear your playstyle variance not being different between town and scum it forces me to have to consider a scenario where you may be town. In undertaking such a consideration I have no choice but to acknowledge my one-sided argument against you based on playstyle. Because of this, me taking the initiative to admit fault given my perspective of you has no bearing. It neither indicates me being "caught" for trying to misrepresent nor does it indicate any sort of malicious intent on my end aside from obviously putting forth an argument about you being scum (which you easily refuted anyway).

I'd rather put it to a vote between everyone else who they much prefer concerning our arguments just to see you proven wrong concerning my inability to beat you in a street debate.

On to the important matters now.[/spoiler]

My thought on numbers claim is that it was unnecessary. If you can really choose exactly who can and can't screw with you, I don't think you should actually be sweating the fact of tripping up town. You can effectively turn your ability off, or set it up however.

Off topic - @Zinger: If you head out, stay safe out there. You must complete Spider-Man 3 so I can participate in the crazy fun you create.
