Interesting! No way do we shoot you Vorret. We shoot chaos and thereby prove whether you are telling the truth. The unfortunate truth is you could still be converted today that you've announced yourself. Heck, you could have just been a converted normal and trying to draw out the real Reagan.

Question to everyone: if I noticed something that could potentially reveal one of our specials should I point it out since it's possible the baddies saw it too or should I sit on it. It actually supports Vorret's claim too.

Oh, I don't ask to be shot but lynched.
Unless I was protected last night, I need to die.

When I say shoot I mean lynched. I'll stop using the shoot term.

Question for the mod:
OP wrote:Ronald Reagan: Can tell who is acting and therefore sees the true role of any ALIVE player.

I read that to mean our Seer would be told exactly what the player was when he scanned them - i.e. Teddy, Lincoln, Clinton, Jackson, Republican. Is that correct or is he just told Dem/Rep?

Ok then.

 Chaosraven 
 


Do we shoot Chaosraven? Doing so exposes Teddy.

Also if Vorret is faking the question is whether Reagan should reveal to expose Vorret. That's a no brainer (I think) if Real Reagan has found at least one democrat. Even if he's found all republicans, almost certainly still worth it (risk dying tonight and having Vorret go the rest of the game uncontested is too high).

Vorret faking seems unlikely - I would think he would only do that right now if he thought that we were about to vote for a democrat, which I don't think there's much basis for assuming that (though it's possible).

Other question is whether Teddy protects Vorret tonight (assuming he remains uncontested). Normally a no-brainer, but due to the conversion we'll have no idea whether we can trust Vorret's scan tomorrow.

Again, unless I was protected last night there's no way you guys can trust whatever I say tomorrow.
If I was protected last night though that means I'm going to die tonight so I won't be able to give a scan result anyway....

Ugh. I wish Ronnie would've come forward yesterday! That would've made a rather bit of a huge difference, no?

Vorret, what if you were the person protected when the Dems missed? You'd be dead today, and never have gotten a chance to braindump.

I was worried RMC was Teddy, actually. Hopefully I guess he wasn't.

I think if Teddy's out there, he should stay hidden if possible and try to protect Vorret if he can.

I tend to trust Vorret's claim as Ronnie. There's no reason for the Dems to spoof that role...unless bb2112 was Ronnie and they know that after killing him.

I'd think that if Vorret is faking a living Reagan MUST counter him. If he is shown to be lying then we look at the unknown dead - bb2112 and Lassr to decide who we need to use Lincoln on as one of them must be Reagan.

That said, on the surface it seems like an odd play if he is not telling the truth. I only have a half day with students today so I will probably have time to look at the possible reasons a Dem might do this later today.

How would they know that?

Question for the mod: Are they told the role of their night kills?

Or they already used the conversion. Or you were protected last night by Teddy.

Also, you know that if we ask you have to say if you were converted, right? It's like if you ask someone if they are a cop.

As the votes are being counted Chaosraven grabs the gun, shoots Vorret, and then shoots himself. Black blood oozes out of him and with a final look of glee he falls to the floor.

It is now Night. Send in your orders.

With Qantaga and tru1cy being dead weight I think we have a problem. I do not see any one of us going the self vote route and without that we can not get to 4 votes unless Qantaga or tru1cy show up to cast one. :?
