Curious to see how these evolve over today.

This was another world I considered... and the odds of it happening are INSANE. This would mean one of had knowledge as to who our Aquisitioner is if we follow THIS world.

chrissy i have no idea what you're trying to say there. are you interpreting phil's post as him saying that those who are voting for del should claim? i'm pretty certain phil was saying "del, if you're in the thread and you're a role then you should claim"

[TWG Eugene]

*one of us has knowledge. I'm tired. Forgive the horrible typos. I have to be up in 4 hours

I'm not trying to piggyback on this post, but this is exactly what I thought when Phil posted what he did near end of EOD.

I wouldn't say someone had to have knowledge of it. There's just more opportunity for an aqui to fail because there's two roleblockers between wolves and town and then the PI could've just so happened to protect whomever the aqui targeted.

Anyways I absolutely have to sleep guys. I've got like... 36 hours of wol ahead of me in three days. I'll catch up when I wake up

Theres no example where wolf RB protects against Aquisition. Only the PI can do so

Looking at basically the bare minimum of twg mechanics, cop gets blocked there always. A. L. W. A. Y. S. I don't believe there isn't at least one competent wolf.

sleep well eugene! you went beastmode already, and there'll be plenty of game left when you get back! don't push yourself!

Now that you point that out... oh dear. I interpreted "if ur a role and around del" as like "if you exist and have voted for Del" but... now that you pointed this out... I guess I'm back to square one--

Wouldn't a roleblock extend to blocking the role of an aqui?

There is no mentioning of this in the hierarchy of Aquisition. The host would need to clarify, so this is an unknown variable for every single one of us

[TWG Mathilda]

Doesn't make much sense to me that a roleblock wouldn't also block an aqui.

[TWG Mathilda]

As per front page:

Power Role Hierarchy:

Roleblocker
Nerfed Medic
Cop
Private Investigator
Acquisitioner
Vigi
Wolf Kill

[TWG Mathilda]

Roleblocker is always on top, so to me that says roleblock would block aqui in all cases if they targeted that person.

[TWG Cherry]

i really don't see why acqui wouldn't be able to be roleblocked what what

the role description certainly doesn't say rb immune, power hierarchy supports being blocked, and there being a pr to specifically block the acqui doesn't really prevent the other blockers from working on it

[TWG Julian]

considering i was townreading them before, i guess i believe flurry when they say they confused what the blocker does. presumably they got it mixed up with jailer. the setup post has our pr as "blocker" and the wolf pr as "roleblocker" so it's understandable in that respect. probably wasn't a slip

[TWG Julian]

phil seems pretty interested in getting PRs to claim. chrissy's post reminded me he pushed del to do it at eod, then during this phase he initiated the PR cover posts and also wanted at least the blocker to claim. not sure what to make of it

[TWG Julian]

phil also only pushed del to claim despite the vote being tied between del and zucker at that point. why say "if you're around del" and not "if you're around del or zucker"?

I don't buy that happening two games in a row. Plus defending against it right away like that when not being pressured is sus.
