Do you agree this should be done with the special potatoes as well?
Actually, no. I was being a bit lazy and now that I’ve read properly… I think the special potatoes should not claim by default. I’m also rethinking the hot potatoes… was it answered what happens if the DK has a HP explode at EOD? Does the DK pass to the next highest voted player?
"3. The daykill is determined using the usual voting methods. Players who died from exploding potatoes still have their vote count; the player with the couch potato does not have their vote count. If the top vote-getter dies by hot potato, that player still counts as the daykill. (If there is a two-way tie for top vote-getter and one of those players dies by hot potato, the surviving player does not become the daykill.)"
Ah, thank you. Should've read better. :-D

I have responded in some detail to your allegations against me.

Do you not have an actual reply?
do I need to explain having more than four scumreads?

You are pairing Jamie and damo but they are not both in your gamesolve.

##VOTE DiplomacyandWarfare

(I might already be voting for you, I forget.)
this is exactly why you are in my gamesolve:
you literally just fucking lied
What was my lie? I'm extremely confused.
you claimed that jamie and damo were both not in my gamesolve. Jamie was.

Here is my official SP suggestion:

Whoever currently (D1) has the SP reveal during N1 that they had it D1, but not reveal who they passed it to.

Whoever holds the SP N1, reveal during D2 that they had it N1 (or in a N1 EON message if possible), but not reveal who they passed it to.

The D1 holder, if still in the game, can confirm the N1 SP holder on D2. Then the D1 and N1 holder are paired as not S/S.

This can repeat every phase, generating more pairs.

Also, this does not preclude the use of the SP to try to block a NK, if that is what a day SP holder wants to try to do.
While I like some elements of this strategy, won’t the person claiming they had the sweet potato previously immediately get targeted for a night kill?
Ideally you only post this at EON. But like Bozo pointing using SP to avoid a kill isn't the heat use for it, at least at first nights.

@Diplomacy&Warfare:

Please explain how you asserted that I was scum with Bunny, Miminena, and Foodcoats, and yet, in the same post, you then went on to assert that I was sending coded signals to scum!damo, who was not listed in your alleged scumteam at the top of the post???
Do you really ascribe scum motivation to D&W's posts?
D&W was caught as scum in a previous game for being weird and inconsistent. Never ascribe to malice what can be ascribed to... um... scum!Diplomacy&Warfare.
I was also caught as town in a previous game for being weird and inconsistent. My ratio of being weird as scum to being weird as town is approximately my mafia rand rate

if the mafia has it at the moment they will just not out that they have it
so... 4/14 chance this is delayed for a phase? Probably? depending on what the ratio is which I forgot
fortunately this then immediately generates a 'named villy' as whoever gets it next is conf town

I’m picturing bo making a post about PRs, then remembering to check the rules. Then posting this. I don’t remember him well enough to say what this indicates, but seems slightly scummy to me in a vacuum.
Yeah, you’re picturing me replying off the cuff to a post about something that could reveal PRs and then checking to see what the mechanics are around PRs only to recall that there are, in fact, no PRs because I replied off the cuff to a post about something that could reveal PRs and then checked to see what the mechanica are around PRs only to recall that there are, in fact, no PRs.

No.
Having suggested that a certain group of players might be on your team does not invalidate an argument that another group of players might be on your team.
This is a bad argument and is scum-indicative.
No town player gets this defensive about a suggestion regarding who they might be paired with.

Maybe you were using a secret code to communicate with your scum partners Ghug, BunnyGo, Red Neurax, Foodcoats, Vecna and Damo?

You did it in the SAME post. You posited a four-person scum team, with me in it, and then you explained your logic that I was scum based on me being scum partners with SOMEONE ELSE.

You invalidated your own case.
