actually wait i just reread that question. hmmm. i might do my best to skip nights actually and prevent nks. talking to the devil though, everyone plays differently.

It’s only a huge gambit if people are willing to lynch LC when I flip town.

i don't understand what the "huge gambit" is in either context

Speed is saying he trusts LC cause it would be a huge gambit for a mafia member to fake a red peak.

I disagree.

Right?

Normally, red checks are better but a night skip is awesome and a day skip is ass.

It’s just scum with a day skip, ya’ll.

linki: Oh okay.

I gotta give it to Epi, this is a cool role.

LC: I skipped the day phase.
DDL: Neat!
Jack: I can doctor people.
Speed: Seems suspicious.

it is.

unless he is sure you're flipping bad. which i think is almost impossible to make it so convenient that he skips night, his song, etc. it all doesn't add up.

Why would a mafia member be sure I’m flipping bad?

What about his song adds up?

His song is like “cherry rain golden whatever” and his claim is like “cherries are day skips and guilty and golden is a night skip and a green check.” Okay but you could make the same claim for lyrics with any two nouns.

My song is Doctor Wu and my power is doctor.

Which one of us has the claim that fits our song?

Maybe if you were a newbie player... but you have hosted role madness. I don't believe you can look at LC's claim and not understand the concept of a cop role with drawbacks.

This is a very elegant role.

After Jack is done I think we need to start tackling them inactives.

What happened to the Luna case? Did it die with nutella?

I didn't say that. But I do think at some point we'll have such a high concentration of civs among the actives that letting the inactives stay untouched will not be optimal.

If LC is a framer and one of his teammates is a dayskipper, it's a stupid gambit. If we happen to lynch the teammate at some point, it would immediately doom LC.
Never base a gambit on two scum powers going undiscovered.

This, of course, is assuming you flip scum.

There's always a chance that LC is lying or his ability was tampared with, but experience says most of the time, you should trust the cop who claimed first.

Occam's razor says to trust the cop check and see what happens.

[mention]dunya[/mention]

The mafia doesn’t need to frame someone to fake a red peek. They can just lie.

Why would scum LC be worried about his day skipper friendo getting lynched when he’s the day skipper?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills and nobody but Jay even understands what me and LC are saying.

Which is exactly D1 all over again where nobody but Jay could understand my Daisy case.

And at the end of the day, I’ll get lynched over the red peek, Jay gets nightkilled and everyone will shrug at LC because look at all the stuff about framers and mentions of discord and threats of nightkill so of course we don’t trust Jack. Never mind that none of that shit even exists.

I will self vote if I can get some promises to hang LC when I flip town.

lol

you were more fun when you were lolcatting.

mafia LC lies about you, you flip town, then what? mafia LC wasn't getting lynched. why did he do all this? to mislynch 1 townie? no other way to go around doing that? and why would he lie about YOU and not, say, me or Jay. not being arrogant or anything (i sound gross, i'm sorry), but you spent all of day 0 and the better part of day 1 going after.....juliets and daisy. where's the mafia threat in you?

also your song is literally about a shady as fuck doctor.

so yeah. not buying it.

Excuse me for pursuing my wincon.

A lone vote on a wolf is not worth squat. A consensus to lynch a wolf is.

And I’m not lolcatting. My natural joke to content ratio is high. You add an accusation of that and it doesn’t make my jokes lolcatting. If I was lolcatting, you’d know.

A farmer would explain why town LC has a red peak on town Jack.

If LC is bad, why would he frame me and then actually cop check me? Wolves are allowed to just lie.

Give you a vest. Give you a doctoring. Whatever. Now turn your head and cough.

what even is jack doing?
