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.

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 guess I'll call fruitlessly on Naga since KoD has already claimed.

Maybe KoD has a claim that's more believable this time :D

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.

Sorry folks, busy day.

Final Count:

KoD: Dark, Tevish
Dark: KoD


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


Actions


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.

Being perma-rolestopped was a great power. Not that I really needed it, but it was.

No actions are compulsory so I randomed for him and then sent him his results. I believe nights 1 and 2 were the only nights he put in actions.
