Blood on the Clocktower

[Dirty Duck]

Wayno are the dead allowed to role claim since it's not revealed? Can Prick still reveal anything he might have gleaned from his ability?

[Wayno]

Anyone, alive or dead, can claim whatever role they want, whenever they want. It’s a game of bluff. Just don’t post any PMs I’ve sent you, as that removes all ambiguity from the game.

[Null]

Okay, let's kick this into gear. The dillying is annoying me. 

starschwar essentially a confirmed washerwoman (once again I apologise, it feels like I'm slagging you off in old cockney slang) and is maintaining the 'not 'Gorn or Agent' stance. Fine. At present moment none of them seem especially suspicious, and we know one of them at least confirmed town unless Star's being extra diabolical, which is unlikely cause no one's counter claimed. 

Annoying Prick dead. But no idea who or what he was. Wonder if he'd be willing to claim a role here? Might actually move this along, whether he's lying or not.

Dirty Duck he did put a lot of heat on me but backed down as soon as I claimed a role, so I'm less suspicious than I was. I also don't want to punish him for actually playing the game so I'm cool on him.

Agent is acting like Agent and didn't seem too invested in my death either way. As usual one of the hardest to read. Has mild credibility with Star's role claim.

Aragorn I could go either way. Again, his enthusiasm is interesting but enthusiasm shouldn't be a mark against. 

Jassassino Probably at the moment highest on my suspect list. Nothing solid, but he's contributed and pivoted appropriately without putting himself out there at all. One to watch.

Soldier is probably both the safest and biggest twist role to claim. If I'm understanding it right, you can't be killed at night as the soldier, which is also true for the imp and his minions (obviously).

A lot depends on that. Only if someone claims that role as well can we then pry some info and determine truths, otherwise, mad safe play, would make no sense to lynch you at all (at the moment).

Despite soldier being unable to die, in an ideal world they still probably don't want to let the demon know who they are as then the demon knows to avoid them for the night kill. In the event that Null weren't the soldier the real soldier would be better biding their time to reveal themself. That being said I don't think that's what's going on.

We can probably wave goodbye to any lucky no death nights unless the monk happens to predict the next kill though.

[Agent]

There's little we can say with certainty because of how any combination of roles could be in play, and i'm not convinced enough to nominate anyone right now. I'd be interested to know who everyone else would lynch if they had to pick someone. If we get it wrong today we lose.

[Wayno]

If we get it wrong today we lose.

I apologise. I've probably worded this wrong somewhere and not corrected it but I'll explain here. The win condition for the Imp is to get to the last two, just them and a townsfolk. There are six left, if you execute one tonight and it's wrong and the imp strikes then there's 4 left. The game is still going.

When you get to the final 4 with the imp still in play and you execute and get it wrong then it's mostly likely game over because there's 3 left and why wouldn't the Imp kill in the night to win? Which is why when it gets to the last 4, most games I've been in decide not to execute as you have better odds picking from 3 than 4 no matter how certain you are.

Sorry if that last paragraph comes across as backseat gaming but that is genuinely mentioned every game I've been in that's got to that position.

I draw my crossbow, take aim and shoot Dirty Duck

Personally I would have opted for the BFG from Doom because why kill when you can overkill?

So Jassassino claims Slayer, and he chooses to shoot Dirty Duck. And nothing happens and the game continues.
