i guess noone claimed the necro use on ghug?

Nah. Either ghug was town or scum. Either way we will find out later.

ghug was Town.

Honestly I feel like even IF she was more active, that EoD phase thing is still going to make her not as active as we'd like. Its going to be hard to get a read on her no matter what

100% - I've fallen victim to that and she usually gets killed off for that. It's too easy to default to and that's why I'm a little turned off on by yoyo going that way.

At best, it's 16-4 now (no tadpole). At worst it's 15-5 (tadpole consumed). We're at a balanced started game still so I don't have an urgency to policy kill lurkers.

tadpole rejected
16-4 sod3
15-4 son3
14-4 sod4
13-4 son4
12-4 sod5
11-4 son5
10-4 sod6
9-4 son6
8-4 sod7
7-4 son7
6-4 sod8 mylo

tadpole accepted
15-5 sod3
14-5 son3
13-5 sod4
12-5 son4
11-5 sod5
10-5 son5
9-5 sod6
8-5 son6
7-5 sod7 mylo

The tadpole was accepted. As nobody claimed to have been given it.

Any town who was given the tadpole, destroyed it, and aren’t telling us are playing against their wincon.

ghug was Town.

I was gonna vote him…sigh. My record sucks this game.

Also, my core being tells me there LIKELY was a PR related save. No tadpole recruitment.

Then THAT should have been claimed. Scum knows.

Even if someone survived an attack because they have a power, they should claim a doctor saved them!

Probably. I'm not claiming.

Hence…tadpole was consumed

I think with the archer in the game, I've concluded the Battle Master's alignment doesn't matter much for VCA purposes. Either way, the mafia could reasonably assume that Balki would die by D3, and there wouldn't be a purpose to trying to save him.

Maybe, I thought I saw something. I'm not saying more. Let Mafia puzzle it out.

(Yes, I know they know who they targeted, but there is still a small puzzle).

The mystery of the disappearing +1.

That post was at +2, but it disappeared when I went to look who did it.

[Bonatogether]

Yeah he’s reaaaallly stuck on the spreadsheet. I do wonder if he is openwolfing.

just as the flav wagon took off, these two people start a pivot to voting for flav. neither actually do, except that food votes for self-pres at the very last instant

So scum Squigs gives himself a viable way to jump onto the town flav wagon, then decides against it and goes all in on saving Flav with a food wagon?

You keep summarizing my gameplay as if it's scummy, but then like don't think through what I would actually gain from it. Like you're recycling scumhunting tactics from past games but forgetting the context of the actions and the alignments of people involved.

it's true for food though

I think brainbomb clarified earlier that if a role doesn’t specify that the ability notifies the player or chat, that it doesn’t.

[sweetandcool]

By the way, the theory that ghug was offered the tadpole and then killed because he rejected it doesn't make sense. Mafia wouldn't know about a rejection until 30 minutes before EoD. So they certainly wouldn't kill until the night or the next day.

Can you specify where this is stated? I assumed that when the tadpole was accepted that they’d automatically be added to the daychat

[brainbomb]

A player may PM when they have been given a tadpole.

They will get a message stating:

"You have received a Tadpole from the Illithids, you may choose to ##Consume or ##Destroy.

##Consume means you will instantly become a member of the Mafia, and join their day chat.

##Destroy means you will reject their offer and they will be notified you have rejected the tadpole and destroyed it.

If you choose to do nothing, the Tadpole will die at the end of that day phase and will be destroyed. You may choose to Consume this tadpole up to the final 30 minutes of that day phase, otherwise if no action is taken the tadpole will die.

If someone survives an attack they learn they survived an attack
If someone saves someone from an attack they learn they saved that person from an attack

Standard policy for doctor roles, however some of
The roles in the setup potentially save people by sacrificing themself like some kf the paladins. So it is not a one size fits all answer

if someone doesn't take an action, are scum notified at the 30 minute mark or at eod?

You are correct. But there is no mention of a notice of rejection.
