I thought he was scum, and got overly excited. He said what his item was and I changed my mind. I also believe his role now, because that whole thing is so wildly ridiculous to claim as town.

So did you make up the idea that his role couldn't co-exist with your item to "catch scum" or did you misread something

Hb does have a little of that 'why must these players I want to lynch be town?' vibe at times.
Not in a big enough way for me to suspect it, but still thats a loud protect he has got going.

And I suppose it makes sense for Isquen to mention that specifically if it is a real power.
Nobody cares about who you end up targeting if you never start the action.
But once you pick one target, it would be weird to stop halfway without another.

Mind you I would have just forced a role like that to always name 2 players, but whatever..

The more I analyze this, the more I feel like it cannot be a compelled role.

If he is town, his role has to be compelled to act. The whole point for the role is to be anti-town and appear scummy and confuse scanners. If he is scum, it is to screw up items, scanners, and what not.

This just sounds like headcanon theorycrafting nonsense. Would you please shut up and wait for me to hear back from Isquen before speaking in absolutes like "a town role HAS to be compelled to act"

Is your item a day or night action, Kirby?

*rereads role PM*

I could've sworn it said night action, but it looks like it... doesn't explicitly say? It just says the ward lasts until the end of the following "phase", so I guess that means it could be either? But I don't see any sense in using it during the day.

Oh ffs

Kirby321 posted...
Technically a Miller without powers is just a "Miller", not a "Miller Vanilla".

Really, it was just kinda fluff to see how Lea would respond in turn. Had she been lying, I would've found her claim inconsistent with the actual details of my role, not simply how I described it.

Also, after Star Wars Mafia, I've generally been adverse to claiming and want to keep my role hidden as much as possible. Yes, I realize that's a product of Chris's influence that game, and he was third-party, but the logic was sound. Why give scum more information than they needed to know?

In this case, however, I judged that it would be better for town to know that I'm a Miller sooner rather than later.

Oh I was about to say

Though this is still relevant

You are limited to one day action and one night action only, unless otherwise stated in your role DM or your item's description.


Because if Kirby's role is compelled it would mean he can never use his item at night. And he can never use the item shop.

Hey Kirby, do me a favor and ELI5.

I pick Target A. I then pick Target B.

An illusion of Target A visits Target B.

This makes it look as if Target A visited Target B.

If I pick a Target A but don't specify a Target B, the illusion visits me instead.

Thus, it will look like as if Target A visited me.

I can make an illusion of myself. I asked the host if I can make an illusion of myself and make it target me by not specifying a Target B. This would make it look as if I visited myself. Host said no, I cannot do that.

And I'd he said day action then it could be compelled. But I also don't think Kirby gets an item he can use anytime to start with and a night action he is compelled to use.

So why would that role ever be good to use for town? The cash gaining? That seems more like a downside to scum planting decoys.

If everything Kirby has said is true, he's a major town trap that's for sure.

Kirby321 posted...
A Miller counterclaim? I don't see scum Lea trying something as bold as this so early into the game. And with Role Madness taken into account, I can believe two Millers, especially since my particular role is a bit nuanced. My role is effectively a Miller but not exactly a conventional one. I imagine Lea's role also has similar quirks, and if we're both truthful, those specific quirks don't need to be discussed this early into the game.

I do believe Kirby being decoy and having those things but that doesn't mean town. Kirby was also trying to reach the conclusion of both him and Lea being town it seemed rather than just testing her. As red is getting at, "essentially miller" is still a weird way to describe Miller Decoy.

Man, I don't want to meta and I don't need to either, but man Miller Decoy would be cruel.

##unvote: Lea

Not because I'm done suspecting Lea but at least no point in my vote being on someone who's not who I currently suspect the most.

It's not really. In fact it's a very stupid and asinine role if town because usually a drunk or traveler has to make yourself act and/or act randomly to targets you don't know. Being able to choose your targets and possibly not even be compelled makes the entire role pointless and circumvents the entire anti-town nature of the role and arguably makes it confirmable as town, which is down in an anti-town role.

It frankly being town the way he says, would be so ridiculously pointless as being a detriment, not cruel.

Don't think too much about the choice of the word cruel. It would just be a town trap in more ways than one, the decoy being iy in the sense that you hear that role and think it must be scum to make sense.

8.) There is an a money system in play. Every living player will passively generate 100 gold at the end-of-day. After Day 1 resolves, the secret shop opens up, and is available for anyone, unless otherwise noted, to use their night action to visit and purchase items. The shop inventory will be revealed midway through day one, and the shop may add items throughout the game. Inventory may change day to day, and will be revealed midway through each day if so.

This is the conclusion I reached. In particular with your role in mind it is the ultimate trap.

I think you are both town. When I have some time I'm going to see who's going after Kirby because it's so easy. Thinking about setup possibilities though it's not that crazy to imagine this ultimate Miller existing

This was the worst case of miscommunication leading to unpleasant interactions.

Asking for host clarification is pointless, here. Yes, I too was confused by Kirby's claim and why he was not clarifying, but then I figured it out because it's honestly not hard to realize what he was saying with this whole thing.

Ulti's freak-out honestly feels NAI here. I could see him as Scum thinking he found a very easy way to crucify Kirby for not having a character name, but then realizing his logic was wrong and rewinding on it.

I think the sticking point for me on Kirby right now is "Why?" On a first Scum game on B8, why does he decide to push forward a miller claim in post 1? And if so, it'd be done with the knowledge that another Miller could claim... do his actions at top of topic 1 line up with somebody who knows that someone else could claim Miller? Like, where's the motivation?

Its possible that not being compelled to act is just a way for the game to have a power role slotted as a nilla.
But it is true that makes Kirby a rather high value vanilla with a level of confirmability.

Didn't Poppy and someone else (Death??) also look his direction in the previous topic?

Also, Kirby, I have to ask you to maybe repeat yourself here (you owe me for voting me): Why did you say you were "essentially a Miller but different" or whatever it was? That does carry with it an implication that you are not exactly a Miller.
