Yep. The fact that Evenstar kept having so many incongruities with their claims and took so many actions that were outright antithetical towards their claim kept messing with my read on them and those directly associated with them as to whether or not they were scum taking refuge in audacity, or legitimately Town.
Nexus is weird, but is that really the part that was the worst? I'm a two man group with a single shot that has to kill a specific player that will always have guards, they can recruit a bulletproof Town, and then they can stop recruiting. If Evenstar recruited Turtle Night One and just decided to never recruit again.... My team loses. Period.
*chuckles*
Nope, apparently my earlier post didn't go through. Hats off to you and DG, as my strongest Townreads (Yes, above Evenstar. Yes, the GM told me she was Town) y'all definitely earned the win in my book.
The main opportunity they had was that Lost mentioned in deadchat that if both LttL and Nictis had attacked Evenstar N1, they would have won due to there only being one bodyguard.
*Stares in roleblocked cop*
This is bad in another way, though. First, the VIP'd have to big-time reveal themselves. Which they did, admittedly. Then, you'd have to remember that this is betting both their kills on one night. If they're wrong about this, they lose. Meanwhile, they don't know what, exactly, the protection is other than "We need to get close before we strike", so shooting blind, even if you know for sure it's the VIP, is generally discouraged.
They had a Godfather already serving as a counter.
Nah, we were told who our target was, both in fluff and player name.
That's 1/5. 20% chance of a false positive when hitting scum, 0% when hitting town.
Yikes. So yeah, the only thing keeping you back is the "Okay, but why would we throw out both our kills on a target whose protections we're unsure of?"
That was 100% luck lol, we had no clue. We were just taking down good players or big town voices while avoiding the biggest ones, like Even or Nictis. Turns out that the ones we killed were exactly the people we needed to. We got very lucky this game.
Yeah, the random distribution of powers this game made some hilarious outcomes. Gave the big names power roles, gave Even, one of the few people properly paranoid about Nictis, the recruiter role, and gave Nictis the assassin role that required getting Even's trust... Finally gave you scum.
