Anyway I don't get it. Dread Thomas would've roleblocked someone night 1 despite the fact that he happened to die, right? Yet... there was no report of that. I can't see him hitting scum, and don't see a reason for a townie to conceal this info, so I don't understand what happened there.
My guess is that whoever he roleblocked night one has since died. Meeple, Fnorder and Nitori never discussed their roles or anything related to night actions, so it's entirely possible that one of them was roleblocked night one.

Cid, I can't actually remember how your ##shoot works and finding out where you mention it is a pain, can you do it more than once each day?
Nope. Once per day, shoot one player for 1% damage. If there's anything more to it than that, Alex didn't tell me.

Alright, back from work.
Hmm... guess it's time to come clean and tell you guys the last role.
You guys have been wondering about why I made such a point of making sure everyone knew Captain K was scum food. The simple answer is this. Because I have no docbusting power. daytime or not. I am Vanilla Town. The wording was basically there to scare doctors away from him, and make sure town didn't waste any resources on the guy.
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to come clean on that until after the game ended, but we're at role claim logic puzzle time, and my role being in doubt makes the puzzle look wonky. So, here is the whole truth.
What the hell, Excal. You faked a docbusting power, then used it against someone who you thought was town (and looked horribly scummy to my eyes, but that's another issue) and who was getting lynched anyway, not to mention that we'd lost two docs day one (and had no reason to assume there was another one around). And you posted all this after the hammer. All you had to do was scroll down a little in the posting screen to see that your target was already smashvoted by the most recent post. At best, this is completely reckless and does a lot to dispell my faith in you. At worst, well, see the Rat quote below.
Shieldbreaker? It breaks the shield around a person, leaving them unable to be defended at night, and therefore completely vulnerable to anything that targets them.
Interesting that I'd use that on someone I was intending to Lynch, don't you think, Rat?
Yeah uh if that wasn't a statement that was going to sow confusion in me (and believe me, it had me wondering what the heck you were on about for quite a while) then I don't know what it is. Another ridiculous aspect of his plan is that... two docs had just died, I'm not sure "oh I better convince docs not to protect him" is a valid line of thought at all. And, well. Lynch All Liars. You guys should know that one.
I have to agree with the rodent here. Making up a power role for no discernable benefit = bad juju. I'm sorely tempted to toss a vote on you here, but that would put you in smashvote range and I'm not sure we're ready for that yet--scum could hammer if we're wrong, and though I don't think this is LYLO, I'm not eager to take the risk, either. I also remain wary of the people voting for Excal, due to my earlier misgivings about them (the recent puzzling out of the roles has led me to believe their claimed abilities; again, I do not take this as proof of their alignment). Still, Excal's definitely shot as a lynch candidate. Strago hasn't weighed in yet, though, and I think it'd be a good idea to make sure everyone gets a chance to comment on this before pushing into smashvote territory.

Now that leaves us Excal and El Cid. These two I am more wary of than Andrew. Why? El Cid claimed Regular Miller, Excal claimed Regular Townie. They are proposing that of all 18 players, with role madness, they happen to be the unlucky two who are Regulars, with one being Miller and one being Townie.
Whoa, man. Lay off the metagaming, seriously. Thou shalt not attempt to divine the intentions of the mod! Alex stated this game would be role-heavy, not that every single player would have a power role. Trying to infer such is a terrible idea given how far such logic has got us so far (see: two dead docs on day one). I see no compelling reason for there to not be a vanilla player around (whether or not Excal is vanilla
town is suddenly dubious, but that's another issue).
At the moment, though, I find it more questionable that Excal pretended to have a Daytime Minor Ability and additionally claims to be Regular Townie.
However, El Cid does basically the same, with having a gun shooting as well. I'm... Not sold on the idea that both are simply roleless, especially Excal because it seems altogether odd to me that Excal would be a regular townie with no abilities at all. (unless he has a minor ability? rolefishing, bad bard)
Excal pretended to have a role; I did not. My Shoot command is a demonstrable fact. All you have to do to see this is look at the votecount (on any day, not just this crazy one). It doesn't do much, but it's irrefutably a part of my role. And miller
is a power role simply by virtue of not being vanilla. It's a shitty one, but it certainly doesn't render me "roleless." This is the worst sort of metagaming, Bard. Your entire argument boils down to "I don't believe there are vanilla players in this game." Do you have reason to suspect me that doesn't boil down to role theorizing?
Because I want some clarification on whether or not you are a regular Miller with nothing else or... what. Because it seems a bit too damn convenient to me, especially since we've now figured out my role is most likely either paranoid or insane.
Miller with the amply demonstrated Annoying Blaster Spam. That's it. I'm not sure why this is "too convenient." You suggest that having a miller in the game is pointless because your sanity is questionable? You weren't the only cop in the game--remember Nitori? Moreover, even if there were no cops in the game at all, there's no reason there couldn't be a miller. The absence of one does not preclude the existence of the other. Trying to divine the intent of the mod is a bad idea.
