I didn't realize he had played before. And I've posted my thoughts on him. Even so, The fact that he has played a game before doesn't change my opinions on him.

But on the note of Copy cat taking traitor, that could be a problem. Aidnai has claimed he is vanilla from picking traitor, which means one is in the top 8. Although if a traitor is pressured he will claim he is vanilla to cause confusion. So I will present scenarios.

Lynching vs Not Lynching

We lynch Aidnai
1. Aidnai is traitor. Role goes to Copy Cat, and we assume it was picked. We CPR him.
--a) Copycat is killed. No more CC but no more traitors. All other blue roles are in tact as well.
--b) Mafia use KP on Copycat, both recruiting him and protecting him from CPR (I believe). While this seems ideal for scum, they waste a KP as we proceed to lynch copycat. We essentially get a free night without mafia's KP, which is the most dangerous. No reason not to CPR him.
2. Aidnai is town. Traitor exists in top 8, copy cat does not get role. Same situation except we have no control over it. We will have to figure this out when we come to this.
3. Aidnai is mafia.

We do not lynch Aidnai.
1. Don't lynch anyone. Traitor among us. This would be a fine description of a god awful town.
2. Lynch someone else.
--a) Top 8. Assume one of them there is the traitor.
---- They are not. Strong role dies most likely. Traitor gets pat on the back from mafia and they go out for ice cream.
---- They are. Impressive town.
--b) Not top 8. Traitor still there...


I believe lynching aidnai is the best option.

Umm... I don't know if LOR actualy claimed that he picked traitor

My reasoning is that I attempted to pick the traitor role and it was already gone. so someone above my draft pick took it. If you read earlier fishball refused to pick any of the suggested roles which made me think he was most likely the one who took my role.

I was very sadface

As for lynching LayOffRage, thing is, he can be a pretty decent scumhunter, and he's active, and he claimed green. I don't see why he needs to die before we even get a read on the players in the top 8. And fishball is almost certainly not the traitor.

you're very clever jimbo. Surely you can think of some explanation where I'm still telling the truth despite your excellent sleuthing? And no, I'm not giving you any hints or talking about this any further.

If you won't address Jimbo, then how about enlightening myself instead?

not scummy.. dunno but it seemed like he was testing out the plan to see what happens.
Also, if im CC, why the fuck you lynch me? Are you 100% certain RoL is Traitor or something? i didnt see that yet.

another thing id like to mention is that if im not CC, my role would go over to the real CC. For all you know, the CC might not even be in the top 8 (or is it 4)

No Im giving you heads up that you cant eliminate possibilities when anything can happen

Im okay with dying at night. please feel free to roleblock me and kill me at night because you do not want the CC to get my role.

Meh, since everyone knows who I am already there is no advantage to me using this name anymore. If you want to kill me before I decide to do anything credible then do it. You have all seen how I play in normal games. I will do analysis and you can try to find holes if you want and I will argue and find candidates. Since my AKA isn't hitting I will explain my reasoning in full detail. I figured if I did this earlier on it would let off that I was smurfing but since 90% of the game already knows its fine.

deconduo
Kenpachi
kitaman27
Barundar
Jackal58
Fishball
Amber[Light]
CubEdIn
these are the players ahead of me in the draft list. One of them IS the traitor. Out of them here is how I will break it down. Kenpachi, Deconduo, Kitaman, Barndar. jackal58 and to a lessor extent cubedln are new guys and if you have the option to choose a role, traitor a non power role definitely isn't high on that list for new guys. Its really hard to play and I was looking for a fun challenge. I knew it would be harder to take the hit and get converted if I wasn't on my normal account so I was going to have to try even harder. I will also say that the above mentioned players aren't generally too crazy of people like what you would expect Chezinu to do. If Chezinu was on that list and even pandain I wouldn't feel confident calling fishball as the traitor.

Now for the last two we just have Amber[LighT] and Fishball. Amber is more of a linear player as well not too crazy and if hes town he would choose a powerful town role imo. Fishball however I think is a very likely pick for the person who stole my traitor role. Fishball uses a variety of play styles to avoid establishing any pattern of play, he also never takes games fully serious so he is inherently a very difficult person to read. Fishball also blatantly said he wasn't going to follow the plan the town had been considering. If he was town aligned he probably knew he could pick the traitor role and the odds of someone else picking it were extremely low, especially high up on the draft order. Unfortunately for him I chose to pick it too which meant I narrowed the traitor down to 8 players whose play styles I was familiar with and could make an assessment call on it.

If I actually got the traitor role the last thing I would of done was claim that I didn't get the role. It would lead to the exact wifom shit that is happening now of if I am lying and really got it or not and might confuse people for a little while. While if I just played chaotically and did faulty huge analysis I would likely screw with the town and draw a hit for attempting to be productive.

So I think Fishball has to be the traitor. If you want to kill me to prove that I am being true feel free to do it. But everyone in this game knows that I could be useful if I was left alive and that they are taking care of the mafia's work.

Oh please. Nobody's gonna change anything with 1-2 votes. They need to switch 4 votes to Kenpachi to change the lynch. Not gonna happen.

If I were Mafia it would have been in my best interest to claim the CC and not create any turmoil whether I received that role or not.
I am vanilla townie. That fact gives us a 25% chance of lynching a red. I still think Kenpachi is the red. He lied for no apparent reason.
