Zack's point about Cheery does seem to be pretty spot-on from a look. That definitely makes me feel worse about cheery than before.
In post 1100, theelkspeaks wrote:I think Aneninen was mixing me up with someone else there - in Elements Mafia (where all games are opens or semi-opens with unlimited private communication between anyone who chooses to) setup spec and attempts to break the game are pretty common, as are attempts to coordinate power roles to "solve" the game. I've generally been one of the advocates for actually scumhunting, though occasionally used what spec there was to my advantage, and when I moderated a game there, I tried to push the trend towards less "breakable" games by introducing safeclaims to the meta. The mafia won that game and town complained that safeclaims were unfair afterwards *facepalm*, but ideas for making the game less breakable have persisted, so I'm happy with that.
As for my team now, Aronis read part of this game but is still going. He thinks my BBT town read might be wrong, and also suspects ika, with CES being null and anti/tammy/anka being town reads.
I agree that CES's iso is difficult to read; I'm still trying to sort him.
You're the 2nd counterwagon which has been heavily pushed by the same two guys that pushed the previous counter wagon to anen, with anen setting up a push for BBT.
I don't think that points to Anen town...
Just throwing crap at the wall and hoping anything other than anen sticks.

VOTE: Regfan
Regfan claiming the open game as his team's 5th choice is what I'm taking issue with here because the open was our team's 2nd choice and I don't see how his team ends up with the open game without spending at least one token on it.
That conflicts with his claim of using two town tokens in this game.
I'm not going to claim anything about token usage except that our team did use all 5 on side selection and none on game selection.

I mean the problem isn't the argument, it's that there is literally no logical explanation for how your team ends up with the open vs ours given what you claimed your game selection was.

So I have Anti and Ika as town
If I accept that Reg and CES are town that would leave
Ank/BBT/Elk/Anen
Would probably lynch Ank last out of those four.
My reads:
Anti: Bright Green town
Ika: Town
CES: Town
BBT: Lean town
Ank: Same as above
Reg: null, possibly scum (Not weighing the game selection issue anymore.)
Elk: lurkerscum
Anen: Bright red scum
- Empire was the one that submitted our team list and replaced out, last list that he posted in the QT was 1. WF, 2. Mini Theme, 3. Nightless, 4. Open, 5. Normal, I didn't remember the Theme being so high and Mina thinks 4/5 may have been flipped. We didn't use any tokens for game selection at all / wanted to save all tokens on Empire/Me drawing town, I've PM'ed Zor asking if he can give me what Empire submitted, will update you on his answer. Can you explain your SUPER strong town read on Anti in the meantime for me; I think he's town too but I'm not sharing the confidence you are in that read and I'd like to be confident enough to rule him out entirely - I did find his reaction towards the Ika wagon recently in Post 1611, Post 1612, Post 1615 reads town but I didn't like his Post 1472 at all*.
I kind of see Antihero as an alternate version of me, an alternate version that is generally a lot more confident (or conveys a lot more confidence.) than I think I've ever conveyed since I started on this site.
I know I've been at 1472 before in other games as town, so I don't really find fault with Anti there.

I haven't got the slightest idea why Elk has been following me all the time, but, basically, do you think that Ankamius and Ika are town just because I was voting for them?

If you're actually following the game it's pretty easy to see a progression of doubt regarding where I've been with Ank since the start of the day and it's also been pretty clear that I had a town read on ika long before there was ever a wagon on him.
And I bet Tammy would. Do you think Zach would have a hard time picking between you and me? I don't. You can focus all you want on the one nightkill where there was one obvious option but the other nightkills tell a very different story.
I kinda cracked up when I read this post because when I looked the game over the night after the anen lynch I was actually planning to vote CES the next day.
It's not so funny thinking about it now because misreading my intentions there was probably one of the contributers to the elk lynch.

I should actually have listened to Sotty more. She had a pretty hard scumread on Reg for a large part of the game.
I felt something was off with him, but didn't want to rattle that cage because I didn't think I could make any convincing narrative for him being scum.

Ank you actually had me coming out of the chair on lylo when you concluded Reg was the best lynch because I felt like it was a lot better lynch at that point than CES.
I much preferred Reg dying at that point due to the chance that CES was the scum designated mislynch for lylo.
Was sad when he got lynched instead... but in lylo it's really tempting and easy to stick with the existing wagons so yeah, just dem breaks.

Most of what she said about him didn't make the private topic, which was another reason I was reluctant to go into too much detail about what she was saying.
I kind of wanted him to be town too, and was realizing by day 3 that he probably wasn't, but by then you were dead and it was too late as I was dead the next day.

Yeah, I would've been a hero if I did that. Now I just kinda look ridiculous for how awkward my play was all game.
Well CES took the last lynch and you were in a position to decide the lynch as confirmed town. That's not nothing.
