Xorxes do you really think holding onto the gun was a good idea beyond this first night? You think giving scum a free shot with potential to kill a PR without us knowing, particularly with this:
1x Intelligence Box: When used the player will receive whatever PM or Night Action the targeted player took for that night phase unless it is the Alien or a 3rd day infected player who was redirected by the Alien.
"
Item in the game?

If mafia have that item and they find a PR they have close to an autowin if they steal the gun. I think it's absolutely correct to minimize the chances of that happening.

Squigs, I'm a big fan of Occam's Razor, and if I'm steering this ship I wouldn't expect him to drop his effort level as scum but raise it. That seems to be the simplest way to correct that issue from his perspective. Given his post literally just before you referred me to the above one, I imagine he’s planning to step it up. Perhaps he realized he needed to, or perhaps he’s simply taking the right response to boredom - play harder. I don’t know which it is.

I did get a maybe-scum vibe from him as I reread the latter stages of D1, but he didn’t really do anything that stuck out to me. If you have more, post it.
OK, so now bo is addressing Squigs...

Aight, well, unless someone else shows up as a goo pile, I'll believe your gun claim

what're your conclusions from the $$'ing? :D
How could someone else show up as a goo pile? There's only one of those guns.
isn't there a synthesizer thingy that gives someone an option of a gun? So I'm believing for now that Ezio was the original one randed with gun, rather than someone giving him that option tonight + he using it

but the more I think the more tinfoil this train of thought feels xD

I asked him a question and he answered it, so yes, I did address Squigs. Is that weird? I thought that was simply common courtesy.

Not as much as I'd like.

I liked the cases on darg, obviously. He was also a player who I didn't think had particularly many connections to players other than me, so I figured he was as good a shot as any and better than most. I was looking at the votes on his wagons d1 and I didn't think there was much to be gained from verifying his flip, but I could be persuaded I was better off just shooting a lurker.

If you were so worried about the gun getting stolen why would you claim it in the first place??? Even if you were playing WIFOM with Mafia, you increased the chances of it being stolen from 1/15 to 50-50.

I believe the gun generated by the item is a regular gun that flips player's alignment.

so that eliminates the synthesized gun possibility, ignore that previous post xd

Oh come on Xorxes that's not how Wifom works and you know it. What were the odds I was actually honest about my gunclaim, particularly when it's so horrible for me to be honest about my claim?
Doesn't my gun claim look entirely, 100% manufactured to cause some discussion for the night phase that usually is dead as a doornail?

The synthesizer gun is not a ray gun as far as I can tell, and I don't think it could have been used N1.

My 50-50 estimation seems much more reasonable than your 100-0.

Anyways, that's water under the bridge. I think you would have shot someone else if you were mafia, and in any case you probably wouldn't have claimed the gun, so I think you're likely town (and a very marginal chance you're alien).

to Neph;
for what you quoted with Vecna, that was cuz a mistake lol

and it's not weird at all to want to appear scummy xD, don't see a difference in what you did and I did -- only difference is I've outright stated I do beforehand, which has either increased or decreased how much certain people scum read me

it was actually rather helpful to me in determining 1) How wifom-y people get, 2) how much of what they say they take at face value + how they take blatant uttering, and stuff I said to Tham earlier.

but at this point there's prolly someone wondering, was claiming ahead of time indicative of town trying to appear scummy or scum trying to appear towny by explaining scummy actions XD

as for your lhf, I wasn't trying to bring it, I was trying to decide if I should eat it or smoke it with weed hah

and not sure where I brought up long-gone things, except for asking bozo about his mafia AI
