Sweet potato and Yam are different foods but people use the names interchangably. Talk about sweet potatoes at thanksgiving and most people serve Yam dishes. Personally, Satsumaimos are my sweet potato of choice, but that's neither here nor there
Neither is a true potato. Either would be equally sus if copped in this game to me.
I don't know why Dark chooses to insist you're a Yam, but conflating sweet potatoes and yams seems more reasonable than claiming, as a lie with no intel, that the player who is a sweet potato (sus) is a yam (equally sus). That's a hell of a shot in the dark, no pun intended.
Unless you're holding that Dark, as scum, used the common ability to potato-sense, found you were a sweet potato, and intentionally misrepresented "sweet potato" as "Yam" when they're equally negative results. Which doesn't make sense to me as he gains nothing from lying there. The most likely explanation to me would be that he is not wise in matters of potato and conflates yams and sweet potatoes, and has been hounding you out of a feeling that your defense is sophistry. Which it isn't, but it's not a defense either.

That's what I've been saying wrt to Dark waiting to see what else was used by others, and asserting (through a lie) my potato type (that I am a yam when I'm actually a sweet potato).
As for the gain from lying about me being a yam vs me being a sweet potato -- because why claim I'm a potato when you can bury me with yam?
You can clearly see the effect just from the conversation in a nut shell.

ExLight hahaha stares at KoD
Zinger209908 you are in a better position than you were before KoD saved you from yourselves you should thank him before he kills himself with his hail marry here
funnier6 Also for goodness sake you know KoD could argue until he had sucked all the air in the room and was suffocating on the floor
shadowamber you gotta admit the bus gifs were kinda funny though
One of you two is lying and at this point neither lie seems well thought-out.
Why would dark cry "Yam!" if he knew Sweet Potato, and is it believable he would cry Yam at Sweet potato without knowing as much.
Why would KoD, as Yam, counterclaim Sweet Potato of all things? It's not much better.
Of the two, the most logical line would seem to be KoD being Yam and claiming Sweet Potato because it sounds more like a potato and he wasn't given a "safe" fake claim of a real potato cultivar and didn't want to step on a mine with a mass-claim of potato types.
I suggest a roll-call mass claim of (original) potato types. I call on Dark to go first. When dark claims he will call on the player to go next.

I'd still claim sweet potato because town gains nothing by lying.
Which is more than I can say for you.

I think it's possible given the distinct lack of NKs followed by that weird interaction Tevish had with Goose's lynch.
Almost as if the lynch is being utilized via abilities.

And so the Potatocutioner stands before KoD again; blade in one hand, mallet in the other. The swings create a gentle breeze that cools the onlookers, but also splatters Fufu all over them. KoD stands no more. He was Puna Yam, yam aligned Fufu.
The game has ended. The Potati are victorious.
Players/Roles
Naga - Bintje Cut - Tater Salad: “I backed down 'cause I didn't know how many of them it was going to take to whip my ass, but I knew how many they were going to use. That's a handy piece of information to have, right there; overkill.” If at any point you reach majority of votes during the day, you will unvote whomever you are voting for and all votes against you will be removed. While you are not voting for the remainder of that day, votes cannot be placed against you. Mash - Creamy Buttery: You’re smooth as silk, in texture and composure. Once each day you may ask another player, “Don’t you agree?” when talking about your vote. Their vote will mirror yours as long as you don’t change your vote.
KoD - Puna Yam Cut - Roasted Yam: The true Yam is a thicker skin than your average sweet potato. Add a nice roasty shell to the mix and what you get is a bulletproof Puna. Well knife-masher proof as it were. You can only be killed by the lynch. Mashed - FuFu (Pounded Yam): Essentially you have become yammeal. Super versatile but probably not very delicious. You may freely use any of the Raw Uncut abilities provided they are not in use (you will have last priority rather than sprinting to claim them).
Goose - Kennebec Cut - Potato Chip: They say you can’t eat just one. But in your case you can’t kill just one. If you would die you will take whomever that’s trying to take you down with you. If you are lynched you can pick anybody on your wagon. Mashed - Garlic Mash: They say garlic has amazing health properties. Rumor has it, it can help stave off anything. Each night you may target a player to impart immortality for a day and night, you may not select the same target on consecutive nights.
Dusky - Russet Cut - The Classic Fry: Crisp and delicious, but this isn’t even your final form yet. If you would be targeted with a slice/mash/skin or lynch again, you will potatvolve yet again. Poutine - You have become the ultimate in French Fried greatness. This will be made publicly and undeniably known. Mash - Homestyle: You’re the type of mash that’s chunky and has bits of skin in it still. Like somebody only did half the job. Lazy Mashers. To that end you’ll survive one additional slice/mash/skin or lynch.
Dark - Vitelotte Cut - Purple Crisp: Rumor has it that Vitelottes reduce blood pressure and inflammation, the best way to do that in mafia games? Reduced votes. Each day you may target a player to remove their vote, and their stress, for the day. Mash - Purple Gnochi: You’re like the royalty of the mashed line, a beautiful purple mash beloved by all true potato connoisseur. If you die, surely all the hearts will break and the following day will be nothing more than a memorial to you. (no lynch will take place the next day.
CL - Yukon Gold Cut - Hash: Shredded thin but then fried into unity, you are the hash brown scattered upon the griddle. The moral? In numbers there’s strength. When voting as part of a successful wagon, each other player that votes with you will be strong arm the following night. Mash - Chowder: Can you even call a chowder a mash? Sure we can, because potato does whatever the **** potato wants. So each night send in an action. It will be restructured for balance and put into effect.
Tevish - Laura Cut - Potato Wedge: You’re like a fry, but decidedly completely not even remotely a fry. Anybody that gets you thinking they’ll have a lovely Fry will have immeasurable disappointment and their day will be ruined. Suffice to say that any ability that targets you will fail. Mash - Red Skin: Laura’s red skin are a smoother creamier tater naturally but are prone to becoming gummy more easily. What this means for you is that while voting your vote will be double (the smooth) unless the person you’re voting for is voting for you, then your vote will be worth half (the gum).
Skins - All Skinned players become stumped until they successfully do one of the following: Twice baked: Target a player each night; if they are of a mashed variety you will become masons with that player. Your life will become contingent on their survival though (the opposite will not be true). Flash Fried: Once during the night before becoming Twice Baked you may choose to flash fry yourself to reclaim your independence and your vote. You will be effectively vanilla at that point, however.
Actions
Night 1 KoD skins Dusky CL does nothing Goose blocks Lunch Tevish rolestops KoD Dusky tracks Dark Dark peels themselves Naga default potato checks CL
Day 1 Mongoose is sliced
Night 2 Dark does nothing Naga peels himself Tevish Mashes CL (success) Dusky TB’s Tevish (fails) CL roleblocks KoD KoD does a thing (fails)
Day 2 Mongoose and Tevish are sliced. (Goose is dead)
Night 3 Dark tracks Tevish CL makes himself into potato bomb Dusky TB's KoD KoD roleblocked CL Naga rolestops CL (blocks KoD)
Day 3
CL is lynched.
Night 4
Dark Potato cops KoD (Yam) KoD tracks Dusky Dusky TB’s KoD Naga slices himself
Day 4
KoD is mashed
Night 5
Dark roleblocks KoD Dusky TB’s Dark KoD’s ability is irrelevant
So each player had two possible roles after processing, the cut role and the mashed role. Most ended up being irrelevant. KoD would have benefitted more from processing out earlier as most of the uncut abilities didn't help scum so after being trigger happy on Dusky Night 1 he was basically in a lock state waiting to be processed. He was also told from the start that sweet potato was a safe claim but probably wouldn't be a good one. Here is where jumping out in front of things would have benefitted him. An early claim makes him look less like caught scum and more like a town making a miller claim. I think throwing out my penchant for red herrings in my games would have helped it go over better too. Town could probably have used more aggression late game. Dark could have just killed KoD in the last night. Dusky could have also reclaimed her vote in order to surprise pile on in the final day to grab a majority after it was apparent Naga was forever gone. That's all the thoughts I have right now.
