I'm uncomfortable policy lynching TCat and would like Rid****/Rake to chime in on that end.
It's not just policy though.
To make it short and sweet, I'm not a fan of how Tcat laid out how she decided to just sweep her own suspicion, just because Swiss was so confident in it by appearance. i am only feeling slightly better about it specifically because Tcat voted after seeing inferno throwing the towel in. the thing is,
she saw this and still questioned Ryu's claim in terms of ability claimed. This makes what she's saying off to me, she goes out of her way to question Ryu on it, and yet let's Swiss strong-arm(essentially) her out of following up with it,
and she let's him. Why wouldn't you continue the follow up with Swiss ? It's the loose end that isn't filled by : There was a legit wagon due to Inferno's wagon going, so caring = none. Plus, look at the timing of it: She questions Ryu
despite seeing Inferno's admission. But drops it when Swiss displays what could have easily been bravado with the lynch. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to want to try to read Tcat's intent to approach it this way. If her intent was to pressure a legitimate wagon, then she wouldn't need to call out Ryu, because is stains the wagon's legitimacy, especially considering her following actions was to hop on. Even though Inferno had already admitted to being guilty, there still remained the question of Ryu's intent in it. If she intended to question Ryu's intent, and get a handle on him before the lynch went through, she would have put more effort into it than one question and dropping it when Scylla says to. And then today, when questioned by you, we see this massive wall of what is essentially guesstimation, but that entire wall is a day late and a dollar short from my pov, all of what she said toDay, could have been stated yesterDay, in some form or another, even given the speed of Inferno's downfall. It shouldn't have taken L-1 to get this sort of sudden interest in towns' actions to get this view-point, and the same arguement goes for Ryker in a sense.
Then, we get to her and Scylla's claimed abilities, another point which lends itself to my doubt on her legitimacy as town. I will acknowledge that in the long run, in terms of lylo, that scum would benefit from knowing her claimed restriction, but this situation only arises with multiple scum alive late, which is not the case here, with one kill alive, even if we assume, the scum has a roleblock, they would not roleblock tcat at this stage until they could win by doing so, when there are still multiple roles (such as ryker should we believe his claim), Ridick and Ryu. But I'm stuck on how Raz would allow the possibility of having 2 people unable to vote in any given day. That just seems like it gives scum a little too much power, consider that if Swiss and tcat were both alive in a 5 man scenario, there exists the possibility only having 3 people able to vote. Essentially just enough to get a lynch. This links to why i voted gheb, in a game, it doesn't make logical sense that gheb would have the ability to make someone take a extra vote to lynch, when Swiss has that selfsame power, even in one-shot form. On that same note, it doesn't add up logically that 2 people would be flat out unable to vote.
This also relates to why I'm uncomfortable with Ryker, he is claiming the ability to live through a nightkill, even without the lighthouse upgrade, we are now talking about the idea of in any given odd-night having someone docced / jailed, put behind another player thus saving them, being unkillable, being untargetable (i think this was Furio's claim) and living through a kill themselves(Ryker). Assuming they didn't get roleblocked or scum aimed elsewhere. I agre with Ryker, there are entirely too many roles with protective nature's to be comfortable with(obviously). And I don't disagree with the idea that, given Ridick's claimed ability, that almost makes Ryker's pointless, as his would in theory only be useful if Ridikc was roleblocked.
Now we come full circle to tcat, given what Furio's hinting at, I'm willing to put dollar's to doughnut's that his ability makes him able to commute consecutively, this directly makes me question Tcat's claimed ability to be unkillable. Because short of being roleblocked / strongmanned, Furio would be unkillable as well. Even if the lighthouse which upgraded their power wasn't lit till very late, I think this still conflicts with the idea of tcat being unkillable. It just seems to powerful to me that 2 player's would have the ability to, short of a strongman / roleblocker, be able to never die, it seems to townsided, but that in and of itself isn't condemning, it's just the idea of it seems very
iffy to me. Even considering the idea of a strongman, does that really balance out two people being unkillable ? Or if i recall Ryker's claim, the ability to stop any kill ? And i'm not willing to let this go yet, because neither Tcat nor anyone else has been able to show me the
intent of her actions. She gave a reason, but that flat out won't cut it.
This was longer than intended, but w/e. My thoughts on both of them, somewhat.
