Any thoughts on whether I should step into the pizza being blocked thing and mention my blocking? I probably won't be active until later tonight, so I can wait and see on it.
And there goes my colby=merc thing, unless recruitment was one of his powers. Probably better if we keep Colby around but kill RedSkeezix first, so that we can claim Townie later on if need be. On the other hand, it's not clear if he can detect Hostiles by lack of recruitment.

On the other hand, it's not clear if he can detect Hostiles by lack of recruitment. If you mention you were blocked, then you should be prepared to answer the question "what were you trying to do?" Of course 'Weak Cop' is a perfectly plausible Town role, so you'd probably be just fine all the way up to "full role-claim", but somehow I don't see too many people clamoring for that in this game. Most of them are Third Party and won't want to claim for fear of being seen as Hostile, and those that are town won't want to claim for fear of being targeted by us. If course, the large numbers of unforced claims we've already had points out how wrong I probably am...but if you feel like telling everyone you were blocked, I say go for it. If nothing else, it will add confusion.

I think we should be nice to pizza and protect colby for a Night! (Actually, I just don't think colby's role is that dangerous yet. NH 3P are against us already. It only hurts if they snag someone we could have picked, and I doubt he knows any better than we do.)
I had the thought that there may well be about 5 Hostile 3P in the game. Seems like a lot but they are working against each other (and us). It'd make some sense to balance their numbers against ours.
The fact that RedSkeezix knows numbers and also targets people at Night is really interesting. I'd just as soon kill him as try to figure out anything more about him.

I've already prepared a full Townie claim if I have to. As I've said, though, I'd really rather not have to claim early since every Day I don't die or report useful info to the town makes me look scummy. Using the merc for a free investigation (as long as it works out) means that there are some results that can be rearranged or stretched out.
I might change the quote up top. Not sure about that and I know little about the show (it's based on books, too, isn't it?)

I'm pretty sure JBG is Town and just panicked when her PM said hostile and changed that bit.

I agree, I don't know if a Colby Kill tonight would be a good one, I don't think we should waste the merc on protecting him. I want to get a full investigative report on someone.
That way we can give Parz some back up if he needs it since he only has one result so far.

Oh great and merciful mod: Does the merc know who they are working for? Or is it anonymous?
Just thought I'd ask.

I wasn't serious about actually using the merc to protect colby. I just meant leave him alone and we can be 'glad the merc protected him'.
On your merc question, sinjin : I wonder if they know alignment but not name, or name only, or nothing. The first may make sense if their wincon* is such that they need to work for at least three or four different factions.
*I think the merc almost has to be 3P Non-Hostile.

Or, we could use my untrackable, unblockable kill on Colby...

I don't think the merc is a player. I think we need to kill Colby

I think Colby is lying out his ass. Why do you think that?

I think Colby is lying out his ass. And that's the problem. I have a funny feeling he may be as well. If he's telling the truth, then it's a no-brainer to take him out. But if he's lying, that might be a BIG mistake on our part...
