Hey cabot,

Are we allowed to know what the 'set amount of time' is for the Poison to take affect or do you want us to wait until the first victim kicks the bucket? Also, since I'm not super familiar with a Poisoner, if I were to target someone on Night 1 who was being protected by a Doctor would the Poison go through or would it be stopped?
Hm. If I'm reading it right I think your power is delayed like mine is, meaning if you use it on Night 1 the person won't be Roleblocked until Night 2. So while I'm not against having Town question if this 'Call Out PR' is some sort of Odd/Even Night Neutral to just really mess with them I don't know if that's worth giving up the Roleblock for. 

Although if we were to do this ( or block/call-out one of our own ) it would probably be better to do it early game? Since the more players in the game the less likely we are to be hit by a Cop or for us to successfully hit the Cop/Doctor. 

I made a very useful and only slightly NSFW infographic to demonstrate my example



You can thank me after the game finishes.

Thanks cabot....i think?


Soooo since I'm not allowed to know those things, what about knowing how many shots I have left/if a shot was successful? :p


Pretty much exactly my thoughts as well. If the delay wasn't there on the Roleblock I would say go for it but seeing as it doesn't activate until the following Night phase I'm a lot more hesitant to just let your ability sit. 

Using it on one of our own is an idea I'm willing to run with if all of you are cool with that. I've got two ideas when it comes to doing that:

1. We use it on one of our own on Night 1. This would lead to a bunch of trouble on Day 2 since Town will be like 'well what does that mean wtf' and a ton of attention is going to be placed on that person for that phase. However, if we can make it through Day 2 unscathed and Evilisk eventually flips for whatever reason then I highly doubt Town would be willing to accept that Scum roleblocked their own on Night 1 FULLY knowing they would be called out and attention would be brought to them. 

Pros: 
-'Why would Scum roleblock their own?'
-'Why would Scum roleblock and call out their own on the first Night?'
- TOWNIE POINTS

Cons:
- Lots of attention on whoever gets called out
- We don't know how Town will react to the call out. Might lead to a lynch 'just to test it'
- Someone among us loses their ability for a Night phase
- Cop may check whoever got blocked because of the attention brought to them

OR

2. We wait to see how Town reacts to the first call-out victim. Gauge their reaction and either wait another Day phase and mark another Townie or just go all-in and Call-Out one of us. 

Pros:
- We get to see what Town does to the first call-out. If it's dangerous we hold back and don't do it.
- We get to be in the 'middle of the pack' in the eventual Call-Out list and can blend in a little better
- 'Why would Scum block/call-out one of their own'
- TOWNIE POINTS

Cons:
- The smaller the player list the higher the chance we have of hitting a Cop/Doctor with a roleblock and, similarly, Town Cop has a higher chance to hit us. Giving up a Block for a Night could be costly
- We lose an ability for the following Night
- Cop may check whoever got blocked because of the attention brought to them

tl;dr #UnnecessaryGambit that could pay off big if Evilisk were to ever flip but still brings in the 'uncertainty' factor if Evilisk lives until the End Game because the unknown nature of the call-out

I mean, cabot is a little slow

Cabot's late??

A #SlayQueen is never late.

the party starts exactly when she intends it to.

We have the numbers advantage of being 4 scum in a 17 player game. So we are already in control of nearly 25% of the vote. That is our most powerful tool right now.

Cabot, can a scum member do both their special power and the faction kill at the same time?

If we targeted Burb on Night 1 he would get called out on Day 2 and then subsequently blocked on Night 2. This means we would need someone else to do the kill. Evilisk and QB should keep up with their PRs as much as they can so that would leave me to do the NK. If everything works out I would still have 1 Poison shot left at that point so that wouldn't be too bad holding that off for a bit.

Or we push everything back by 1 Day, meaning we target Burb on Night 2, he gets called out on Day 3, and then is blocked on Night 3. If we wanted to use all the poison shots right away instead of saving one for later then I would have 0 left at that point, meaning me doing the NK doesn't really hinder much at all.

Goe my essay done, yay.

It's nice to want answers.

I want to vote for QB, but I'm scared I'll start a lynch train with it.

You're not alone Burb. :x

Town me would have voted on him after the joke answers yesterday but that reads list is really pushing it for me. But with how quiet everyone is I'm worried that the first person to get some real heat on them will be the one who ends up getting lynched regardless of how the rest of the Day phase goes.

With it being almost a week since we have been able to post here and not hearing anything from QB I'm really starting to think he is actively avoiding us. I don't want to bus him because we need our Tracker but at the same time I have no idea what he is doing or what we should be doing in response. It's incredibly annoying.

Kryptik scum reading you and me, not bad.

Still, putting out that thought about reads lists being kinda bad. Now that multiple people did it, it doesn't point out too much to Quantum's direction.
