WW26: The Masquerade [Game Thread]

[Know-Nothing Jon]

Well no matter what anyone believes, Will shouldn't in any case be the first one to be targeted after we lynch Saul. There are other wolves, ones that actually have content that we can analyze and are less of a risk to lynch. I didn't have any reason to postpone posting my thoughts on him, so I didn't, and as I've said I think it's better that everyone knows what his interaction with Bert was and that he isn't a 100% confirmed villager.

All you're really saying is that the GM could have lied to Bert. Which would always be the case, no matter what role Will has. So your whole argument is just needlessly convoluted in my opinion.

[Doctor Saul]

I must be a random fool then

Why?

Because that is the only thing that makes sense!

If that was my argument, I would agree. I'm not going to reiterate my argument for the third time, so if you want to understand my argument, go read the first two times I explained it.

You could be getting opposite results, if Muriel is a wolf.

Well your argument as far as I can see is that Will is scummy for not volunteering his role, which you assert is Friendly Neighbor. But I don't think Will's role matters as long as you're willing to assume that the GM lied to Bert. So I don't see why he should have volunteered it. You're acting as if he has some dark secret that he's kept from us, but I don't see how it would qualify as a dark secret.

If people don't understand your arguments, it's not necessarily because they didn't read your posts. It could also be that your arguments don't make sense.

I knew you read my posts, but I also knew that you didn't understand them, because you tried repeating my argument back to me and botched it. What you said now is exactly my point: there is no "dark secret", in fact there is no reason at all to not reveal it if he is a villager. Yet he didn't reveal. And I think your point that Will's role wouldn't matter is bad. It's not the same thing to assume that the GM just lies to people for no reason. There are specific conditions when the GM would lie, for example if a seer scans a miller, the GM would give a false result to the seer because of the miller's role. Friendly neighbor being a wolf is one of these circumstances.

Ok then. I'll go and strangle some kittens and see if I can muster a civil reply tomorrow.

The horse is probably dead by now, anyway.

[Lady Elizabeth]

Saul, you should still scry, because you might be an "insane cop".

If you are the vig, and you can shoot every other day, I feel that the only logical targets are Saul and Muriel. Why?

Saul:

Muriel: I just find her posts to very wolfish. For example 767 seems very insincere; I even considered voting Muriel over Kate because of that! If Saul really is a fool he could be an "insane cop" were his results are inverted and you would know what that would mean . Also, no matter what Saul flips, people will be bitching about Muriel so much the day after that. So a day is still going to be wasted. I gave her an extreme amount of credit for supporting me but post 767 pushes too far.

Why are you so angry?

[Know-Nothing Jon]

Muriel's tone just really got to me tonight.

The combination of a know-it-all attitude + hare-brained arguments + implying that people who disagree are stupid is infuriating.
