how long is the scum pt, did you and Bella talk much?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Was that in day 1 or 2? I skipped early day 2 before I joined so I could intentionally play off having picked up in esires' shoes as a consistency tell. I don't remember much of day 1 except launching BBT was hilariously bad, the NK was hilariously bad, and Bulb was so obviously scum it was disappointing I had a red card.

Thoughts: kind of a replacement hell game, can't be helped. The BBT vote was bad, I was lazy and checked out on D1. I obviously became tunnelled with stale reads on D2, I knew it at the time but naturally felt I was right. I need to revisit the Esires townread, BBT and Fancy saw something I didn't.

3 pages. As much as we had time for... we're pretty friendly in general, and our time slots don't match at all, and she was sick. All of the third page is just me monologuing today though.

also, I barely read anything b4 I replaced in. Glad my Bella/Cor solve was correct. Don't really blame myself for thinking Roden was a lil' scummy.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the scum read on this slot was, because my predecessor wasn't that memorable. Bulb though... oh man... there was one post where I was literally like "There's no way in hell I'd let that live through the day... how did a game full of SE replacements miss this?"

A lot of the time mafia's success just depends on hitting PRs early in NewD3.

I mean in my case it was POE.

I think the Nero-> Bella wagon there really did it for me in ruling out Rad + Furtive as a suspect because scum wouldn't bus in that way.
Just had more memorable moments from the fancy slot in +town land than yours.

Hitting last night was my last hope, but it was pretty thin even then I think.

Something like: I kill meg, roden claims, elim you, and I take Nero/Rad into ELo. I don't think I'm winning that though either.

Town played a really solid game overall. There wasn't a whole lot to work with... I think this town wins regardless of when or where I come in. Just kind of crushing to start so far behind the game.

My exact thought on this was "If furtive intentionally drew the kill that's some next level shit" (in a newbie game).

My masons read was genuine, it wasn't until today I figured out it's probably Meg JK.
Called it

It's not like I 100% know corwin!scum here
I would've loved this so much lol, I was kinda hoping Corwin was town today

This is also why I was hard defending Bella so much btw, it was our best chance of survival to look scummy at EoD and look like I'm hard tunneling Nero (though I did genuinely scum read him)

Neither of us really suspected Corwin that much prior to the Bella flip, we both suspected Furtive/Nero/Bella during most of D2

Meg wanted Furtive more at the time and asked how serious I was in wanting you gone. I wasn't 100% confident and said I could do Furtive if we could get a wagon going, plus we still had time in the day to keep talking anyway.

hey thanks for the carry, i kind of mentally checked out after i died but always good to eat the NK as a VT in a 9p game and keep the PRs alive


wish BBT had fought his elim a little harder but he had a great read on esires that i shamelessly plagiarized

kinda funny that my questioning of bella seemed to get blown up, wasn't even really suspicious of her, just...wanting her to explain what she actually meant, but it worked out in the end so hey cheers and all that
