Just because I used the term AtE doesn't make my vote any less RVS than yours. No one would actually believe posting a kitten makes someone scummy, hence I'm obviously kidding, hence you're being unnecessarily defensive.

@mod: conventional VC's make VCA much easier by being able to ISO you
Hey Jen, I feel sad you don't want to be my friend. With all the juicy stuff going on (kinda), why is my RVS vote the thing you decide to hone in on? Did you actually take it serious while reading? Why's Mala town?
Shos' case is cool, I'd like to see people comment on it.
Mollie, thoughts on Shos and his case?Wandering but not lost-

Except the only thing you've done that could vaguely be classified as scumhunting is attack my RVS vote. Asking people a completely generic question isn't going to prompt many scumslips, nor will it actually boost their activity, but it'll make you look as though those are your goals.Wandering but not lost-

I don't understand the votes on mollie and Jake. This looks like mollie's usual town-play, from what I've seen. mollie's FoS is a non-tell and 83 from Jake doesn't read as conf bias at all. Even if it did, town is pretty much subject to conf bias as much as scum - it's called 'bias' for a reason.
Beli: why vote mollie for an FoS, when you agree shos has actually made a real case against mala?
Jen's lack of follow-up to her vote against me and lack of response to 63 is bad.Wandering but not lost-

Spoiler: @shos
The only problem I have is how easy it is to wagon fuzzy. He gets himself wagoned and sometimes lynched pretty much every D1 I've seen him play, through similar VI-type play. I'm not sure whether his play here is sufficiently worse than usual to justify a vote.
Jake, why switch votes if you prefer Mala? It's not as though the fuzzy wagon has really taken off yet.Wandering but not lost-

Can't link to ongoing games, but fuzzy does get himself wagoned quite frequently. He's definitely played similar games as town. The case against Jake, and how quickly he gave it up again, concerns me a bit, but the fluff is par for the course.
Spice's posts don't read particularly great. I disagree with the quote-fest being alignment indicative (plus she joined in for a bit) and she obviously hasn't taken a good look at shos' reaction test.
Shos, Jake and perhaps Beli are the only ones really on the ball. I'm particularly surprised by mollie's 177.
I don't like Jen's posts (particularly, the lack of consistency between the two):
In post 54, Jennifer wrote:Hi, Mala! I'm glad you said you're not scum this time. We can finally be friends!
Unfortunately, Serra. You and I might not be.
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Serra
I think bandwagoning can definitely be town, but I agree with Jake that the manner you did it is suspect.
In post 179, Jennifer wrote:Okay, St. Patty's weekend is over, and I'm back!
VOTE: Baby Spice
@Baby Do you really think that movie quotes page 1 are a scum tell? Also I really don't like your unvote on Mala after Shos explained his case. If you think Mala is scummy, why would you unvote?
P.S. @Mala/Serra - I've already explained my post, and I don't know if Mala is town. I went with kittypost Malatown because I didn't think Mala needed more votes for the reaction test at that point. Why vote Serra? Mala wagon had to be focused on because that was the main thing going on; Sera's name drew my attention because I know him. What I'm not liking from Mala is the double standard. You make initial posts that you later disavow/say weren't serious, yet are taking someone to task on theirs? Tsk.
179 is some serious backpedaling of her read on Mala after people called her out on that. I highly doubt she didn't vote Mala because she recognized a reaction test, and even then that's no reason to call Mala town. She claims her reason for voting me was so the focus would remain on the Mala wagon, but she gave a non-RVS reason for voting me, by agreeing with Jake, whose attack on me was genuine. Jen usually makes more sense that - I think she wanted to join an early wagon against me with 54, and then changed her mind when people called her out for that post.

Backpedalling is correct as well, I think.
I understand what you're saying, but I don't like the idea of you "letting Mala be town." If you didn't want to further her wagon, there would have been no harm in simply ignoring it and voting me. The phrasing of 54 sounded too certain of her towniness.
Baby's vote was only RVS to begin with, so I don't find her unvote particularly incriminating. I do see backpedaling as a scumtell, but I find it more prominent in you than her. Your early comments alone aren't what makes you vote-worthy - it's those posts in contrast with your more recent ones.Wandering but not lost-

Huh, I sort of figured she just wasn't completely on the ball, but you might actually have a point. Baby did say Mala is somewhat scummy, and the timing of her unvote is suspicious, even though I wouldn't say I'm sure that she unvoted because of Shos' post.
That doesn't necessarily exculpate you, but it's certainly something to think about.Wandering but not lost-

If you share previous room locations, that's still 3 or something rooms you could be in today. I think if scum starts strongly pushing mislynches for positional advantage, that'll be fairly obvious. I think location and item use from yesterday will give us good information to corner scum.
I don't think scum chasing down items is a problem, as when an item is used its position is randomized.Wandering but not lost-

Yes, I would say optimal play is claiming our D0 position today, and D1 position and N1 item use tomorrow. I don't think planning our movement tactically can really help us, because that allows scum to anticipate where they need to be for the optimal NK.
Jen's last posts have been good, and I guess I took her early post too seriously.

Mala, by the same argument town players can seek out empty areas for items. I don't think it gives scum an advantage.,
fuzzy, only scum would have an incentive lie about that though, and if we catch someone in a lie, we'll know that.
I assume there are items that give information about other players, or that affect movement, so we have a decent chance in catching liars.
Claiming leaves scum the difficult decision between being honest about their location and potentially being brought into association with NK's, or lying about it and risking being called out on that.
There's no good reason not to claim.
fuzzy is making me more and more willing to lynch him...Wandering but not lost-

Yes, shos, that's all I've been advocating: claiming the previous day's room and action.
Baby, there are a bunch of items, I think it's fair to say at least some of them relate to movement and position.
If town tells the truth, (which, you know, they should), we'll be able to catch scum by finding out who's been lying.
It doesn't matter if we know what room people die in. If they tell us what room they were in the day before, it can eliminate people from the suspect pool.
Scum really don't have much to gain from knowing where people were yesterday and what items they used.
When we approach LyLo or something, we can start discussing not claiming so scum can't narrow down people's positions, but for now it's the dominant strategy to claim.Wandering but not lost-

Fountain and Gazebo lead to Courtyard, yes. If you're afraid of being cornered in (I doubt it really makes a huge difference), just avoid them...
Example of why claiming items is awesome:
Penguin was in the courtyard yesterday. Today I go to the courtyard and find an item. Unless someone dropped it there (which we'd know), I know that item was used and randomized last night. If no one claims to have used that item, someone who claimed not to have used an item is lying scum.
It's much like Dethy, in that we can hopefully solve quite a bit about the game by sharing information.
As long as we don't share current locations and items, scum can't really use that to their advantage.Wandering but not lost-

Mala, if I promise to only do Dethy-style game breaking in my free time and still scum hunt as normal, will you agree to item-use claiming?
We definitely don't claim unused items: we'll only claim "I did not use an item."
Regardless, I think there's been a decent majority in favor of D0 room-claims, so here goes popcorn:
1-Mala
2-Shos
3-Jake
4-Penguin
5-Fuzzy
6-Jen
7-Baby
8-Beli
9-Mollie
10-Serra

Beli, that's exactly how popcorn works. Unless you've found a way to control the BB-die, I had no control over that outcome.
I don't think trying to break the game is cheating at all. It's a bit of a misnomer, really. If the strategy with the highest win proportion involves mass claiming and analyzing the claims, then that's what town should do.
I doubt this game is fully breakable to guarantee a town win, but I do think careful analysis can increase our win odds.
@guille, if I find a breaking strategy over like 80% EV or something, can I have cookie?Wandering but not lost-

Fuzzy is killing the momentum a bit, but I don't want to stop the popcorn style claiming.
@Baby Ready to place a vote yet? If not, what makes you uncomfortable about placing one?
@Beli Why is your vote still on Mollie?
If you quote my post you can take a look at the syntax - it's not too bad. There are table tags (1 per table), row tags (per row), header tag (to get the formatting of titles), and cell tags(for every other cell), and they pretty much work how you'd expect them to.

*gives cookies to shos, fuzzy and Jake*
Mollie's movement interests me.
Baby died in the Kitchen, which might be worth putting in.
I'm still all for full item use claim.
I assume when scum uses an item for the kill, it reappears as if it were normally used, so if we find an item, and no one claims to have used it last night, one of the people who claim not to have used an item are scum. I also assume NK flips will include location, as Baby's did, so I think spreading info = good.
Scum can't really use the fact that I used a rope last night to their advantage, methinks.
When I have time to reread, I'll get some reads out.Wandering but not lost-

You're jumping the gun a bit, aren't you? Only Jake is voting for you, and his case hasn't really been gaining support just yet. Your fear of being lynched on what you think is basically nothing is a bit of an overreaction. I'll step it up once I have time.

Actually reread the entirety of this.
Mollie is really town.
End of D1 shos wasn't really town and I don't like D2 shos making a big deal out of mollie's location thing. Scum has no reason to lie about that.
On that note, fuzzy's "me either" as a second to shos' accusation of mollie is really bad. If shos is town, fuzzy might actually be scum this game for his play so far.
Mala never ended up claiming her D1 room, did she?
Penguin has avoided any sort of questioning (or interaction, really) very well. That alone worries me a bit.Wandering but not lost-
