I've been trying to catch up with this thread for like an hour now, and you know that feeling when pages keep increasing as you read e-e. Join this huge game, it'll be fun they said.
Anyway, I quoted some things along the way to clarify things and respond to. Any questions are always welcome, I'll be here for a good while.
Tuesdays in general are quite busy days for me, hence why it was kind of difficult for me to really be active (up until this point of the day). I didn't state this in the thread, because I felt like it would just be forgotten anyway (and it's not like I'd miss all of this phase, we've got a good 16 hours left as I'm writing this response). Can't hang around here all day, especially when this game is so active. Noticed it's kind of hard to really get into a game of this size.
Yes, I've mentioned this in the few posts I did make this phase: I don't mind revealing. I'm pretty sure we've got at least 1 or 2 people with this role in the game anyway. I'm a spy.
That said, let's get into the DD situation:
I am inclined to believe that he isn't lying about his night action and result on me. That however doesn't make him a sane detective, as he would have had a different result if that was the case. Don't know if he's a mafia - I really don’t see the merit of claiming like this as a mafia (it’s a huge risk). I still don't get why he did claim so early as it is, without even trying to confirm if his results are right or not, but perhaps thats just DD being DD.
I'd suggest DD tries to see for himself that he doesn't have sane sanity in the upcoming night phase - that way we won't waste a lynch.
Do agree that lynching me won't be a big impact, we've got a healthy big town going strong and losing a townie today shouldn't break the game.
I just feel we could be more efficient about it, don't like to be wasteful if we can prevent it.
We've got plenty of time left to figure things out.
