character claims aren't alignment or role indicative. they're randomized. you could figure this out from the op.

poop explosions I think your tunnel on trans rights is bad and they are fairly obviously townie on play.
How do you feel about the Hyena slot?

They seem pretty obvtown to me

Townie on play, have done a lot of solving/interaction, threatening Walrus with a fakeclaim was kinda townie for Hyena/Syn, are lock clear if TAT is wolf which is very possible, and have had a worldview that aligns pretty closely with mine throughout the game in general.

elaborate as to why this would be the case.
I am reading Bottom Text as inno child level town. Explain how they are not?

i'm not going to say that they couldn't misinterpret their role as a villager, but i think the way they played d1, what their role does, and how they claimed in this dayphase are all incredibly at odds with each other.

BT is claiming that they can redirect night actions performed on X to Y.

The obvious use of this ability is to make an obvious nightkill target X and a POE slot Y.

If someone tries to kill X, not only does X not die, Y dies.

That is functionally equivalent to stopping a nightkill on X, and at the same time using a vigilante shot on Y.

I haven't actually tried to understand their claim if I am being honest I just took at face value that it is what Alison described it as.

@Bottom Text can you self target?

Posted: **Thu May 06, 2021 9:31 pm**

okay so i thought that it was redirecting someone's action to someone else, not redirecting an action performed on someone to someone else

TSPIC has had a good SOD today, and I especially thought that them clearing Toopy (who they've been pretty negative on) for being unable to fake Tim's tone was a townie move by them. They also don't seem W/W with TAT, so if TAT is wolf (which is what I am leaning towards right now) then TSPIC looks even better. I am willing to give TSPIC a day pass for today.

I was weirded out by it too but I can't think of any alternative explanations other than a coincidental guess. Flavor isn't tied to alignment or role so it doesn't make sense for flavor cop to exist. Mayyyybe some kind of weird lover/executioner variant where you know the flavor but not player name of your target.

Yeah this is actually the part that is giving me pause because if he rolecopped us the last thing he is going to do is out that he knows our identity honestly. I think that it's NAI that he guessed our identity after giving it some thought.

Posted: **Thu May 06, 2021 9:34 pm**

there's like plausibility that bottom text could still be a wolf because it's not exactly confirmable, but now that i actually understand what the claim is it's more likely to be mechanically correct to defenestrate elsewhere

Posted: **Thu May 06, 2021 9:35 pm**

What I have to rationalise is that Urist correctly guessed our identity using bad logic. Which, I mean, why not I suppose.

Posted: **Thu May 06, 2021 9:35 pm**

To be clear when you claim bodyguard you mean "I guard X, if someone tries to kill X, I die instead"? Who did you guard N1?
