GG buddy. Jigs up.

Ok fine fine, I give up, I. See your going to lynch me.

So I will claim: I am the Mentor.

I recruited pod and tried to kill mad

But I also know who the other Scum is, @EbonHawk ,

I know this because I tried to Recruit @EbonHawk and it failed. That happened Night 2. And now the only way for this to fail was either 1.) I was Roleblocked or 2.) Ebon is scum.

That happened after we lynched Bertie who was a roleblocker and it seems there is no town roleblocker at this point. Now the problem comes with why the Cops have scanned him as town? A question I puzzled over for awhile, I have come to the conclusion that Ebon must be a Godfather(is that the right role?) Which flips opposite results.

So if I die, I only ask you take him down with Me!

Unless Gnips wants to Claim Roleblocker and confirm he roleblocked me Night 2

One problem I have is why was LP so resistant to being lynched if he was also lynchproof?

He might not be lynchproof, he might simply have had an extra life. And he didn't actually fight it that hard. He seemed pretty resigned to being lynched if that's what people want.

Well then. That would certainly explain why Ebon fought being lynched so hard.

@Lord Preyer @GhostofNobodyInParticular and @EbonHawk I suppose, care to comment before we finish the Hammer?

++PROCESSING++

++LARGE SCALE DATABURST 78.4472% complete++

~~STATEMENT: please hold for a personal comm from your friendly neighborhood Tac/StratBot. Thank you for supporting the CIS~~

*whirrr* *click*

++processing++

~~STATEMENT: this unit usually receives a high degree of utility from its self-imposed Baskin&Robbins Protocols.~~

~~EMPHATIC STATEMENT: this is NOT one of those times.~~

++INTERNAL [DEATH DEFIANCE EMERGENCY PROTOCOL ACTIVATED]++
++COMMS: EXPLANATION/ADMISSION/APOLOGY/CIRCUMSTANTIAL SUBSTANTIATION/ACTIONS?++
~~STATEMENT [EXPLANATION]: This unit is a Deathproof CIS Loyalist who apologises for misleading fellow CIS loyalists previously but deemed it necessary in order to avoid falsely claiming a different power role or revealing this unit’s supershielding to corrupted units.~~
~~[cont.] It had been this unit’s intention to avoid being VoteZapped at all costs so as to make it into the Endgame whereupon this unit estimated there was a 73.2694% chance of being attacked by enemy units during a Recharge Cycle. This unit’s supershield would then have been fully operational to prevent this unit’s destruction during the crucial Endgame VoteZap period with all the benefits to fellow loyalists and all the confoundments to Scumbots that such a strategem would construe.~~
~~ADMISSION: this unit’s tactique has however failed and this unit now faces the MidGame/Endgame)without its supershield.~~
~~APOLOGY: this unit apologises for lying about “Vanilla Town” statement. There will be no use of corrupted rhetorical logic patterns to dilute this unit’s transgression in this respect. This unit lied. This unit apologises. This unit has consistently sought in this and previous scenarios to choose truth>lies as this unit finds lies... *whirrr* *click*... CHALLENGING to its ethics processors.~~
~~APOLOGY (CONT.): This unit was well aware at the time that it was violating CIS/ALPHADIRECTIVE/LYNCHALLLIARS and accepts the consequences ranging from adverse reactions to demands for deactivation. Accordingly, if fellow loyal units command, this unit stands ready to engage SELF DESTRUCT PROTOCOL and Self-VoteZap as penance for its failed gambit if that is what likely loyalists (see below) so wish. This unit maintains that had the gambit proven successful it would have been of high value to CIS loyalists but fully accepts the consequences of the gambit’s failure.~~
~~CIRCUMSTANTIAL SUBSTANTIATION: units may wish to consider the symmetry of ModGod @thejabbawookie scenario: 2 CopBot type roles; 2 RepairBot/Mentor-ee type roles (!); 2 ShieldBot type roles~~
~~ACTIONS?: should fellow loyalist units forgive this unit its transgression there are certain positives gained from this situation:~~
~~> @Herowannabe is confirmed as an Insane CopBot (as this unit has repeatedly theorised)~~
~~> @Madaghmire is confirmed as a CopBot with reverse reads (either insane or paranoid - Mads unit states Insane which this unit has also repeatedly theorised. Cf. ModGod Jabba symmetry)~~
~~> @EbonHawk is confirmed as CIS loyal per two scans [!NOTE: counter: Godfather unit warning from Clon!] ~~
~~> @clontroper5 is confirmed as a hostile unit~~
~~> This unit recommends a VoteZap on @clontroper5 v (but only after Clon unit statements/interrogation have been exhausted~~ ++ {FAIRPLAY Protocols confirmed as paramount}++
~~FINALLY: should units Hero, Mads and Ebon (who this unit believes are supermajority %-likely CIS loyal) wish this unit’s destruction for whatever reason than this unit will SelfVoteZap as penance and proof of its actions and pedigree.~~
~~To repeat: this unit is sorry for its failed gambit. This unit is sorry for its lie. This unit hopes the data revealed by the VoteZap is seen for just how valuable it is. This unit hopes that it can redeem itself in service to the Confederacy.~~

Credit to you Clon even after you lose your mentee and my gut is vindicated you and pod are still trying to get me hung ahhahahahah

Way to try help out scum though...

IF you want to know my role again I'm VT as i've been all game since D2...

FYI seems like great stuff for Pod to mention when hanging me yesterday aswell as you...

Could even of made up something different and said I wouldn't allow Pods doctor protection ahhah

~~STATEMENT: what is currently unfolding is a positive example of why Turbo-ing is, on average, sub-optimal for CIS loyalists. Unit @clontroper5 even though primed for VoteZap destruction may yet give valuable intelligence.~~

~~CAVEAT: disinformation contingency due to Threatened Disintegration Vengeance Protocol must also be considered when assaying veracity of ScumBot statements.~~

I thought about it, but that would involve revealing my role which I didn't think would go over there well

Sounds legit.

Gang, we all know Clon has to die this cycle. Thats not up for debate. But his accusations against Ebon also have a certain ring of truth, and I want to take a moment to examine them before the peanut butter murder party.

Clon claims to have attempted to recruit Ebon N2, so his failure to recruit Ebon could not have been roleblocked. (Question: Clon, what happened N1?) I assume he picked up Pod N3. Which also explains why Pod became a frothing beast intent on nothing but Ebon death. And I guess also mine, but I think thats because I was ready to lynch Clon yesterday. On a personal note, it makes me feel better that my early strong town read on Pod was right, it was simply subverted.

Now, I’ve already posted my frustration that aside from Clon, we’ve more or less cleared everyone in the game. So we were always going to have to go beyond the cop scans to find the final scum. So we can toss Hero’s scan result on Ebon out. It also means, if we still have scum after killing Clon, we should look back at Gnips, who is cleared only by read and my own scan. LP is cleared by lynch, myself and Cal by attempted murder, and Hero because if Clon is a mentor (and he has little reason to lie, at this point) then his scan result on clon pretty much has to be authentic. So the pool wasn’t that deep, but let’s dive in anyway.

Now, Ebon. Ebon’s play has been called out as scummy, and off, throughout the game, and by players that are cross faction. Pods persistence is now explained, but lest we forget, CV (now confirmed town) also really liked Ebon as a kill.

Pod’s death also makes a lot of sense if Ebon was the agent behind it, since Pod had been pushing him so hard, and given the D1 read and his counterclaim vs Bertie he wasn’t going to be hung in the daytime. Ebon would have to kill Pod at night, since he couldn’t know Pod was third party mentee.

Finally, and this is the most salient to me, Ebon has been on this cult thing forever. His reaction to seeing all these town power roles was less “No fracking way” and more “there must be a cult”. I think that reaction makes a lot of sense, if its coming from a place where he walked into scum chat, and saw only him and bertie. So he knew that scum as a single faction was underpowered. I wouldn’t be shocked if he was trying to draw out critics by floating the ideas early, and seeing who tried to kill the concept.

I just wanted to get those thoughts down before we tied a Clontrooper to the old oak tree.

Well then. If Ebon and Clon are telling the truth then we just might have this game solved.

But before we lynch anyone, @Madaghmire we should probably discuss our scan targets for the night. Thoughts? The only ones who haven’t received any scans are you, me, and @Caldias

So...can we say they tipped their king?

Also I had forgotten that you scanned nips.

No no no, clon first so none of us get co-opted and lose our win condition.

Clon might have to recharge, accounting for his gap in recruiting me/pod.. would explain why he said his PM was different to the siterole in some ways

I agree that clon should go first, and since there is no point holding anything up:
