okay now that that's over Taly claimed C14 cop in our B7 PT so there is 100% scum in {irrelephant, Taly} and I got the vibe from that PT that he was telling the truth-

it's possible he really is cop and was hoping to avoid having to claim buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut the possibility that he's scum is way too high for me to not reveal that-

This seemed obvscum at first glance, but thinking about it:
- scum are more likely to screw up, since they're making up things, as opposed to town who are just relaying info from a PM. But, town are people and make honest mistakes - I've done it.
- But, good scum, having made such a mistake, would probably just leave it alone and forego the correction. Bad scum would panic and make the correction without thinking. Town would make the correction, as they want accurate info out there.
- So, this by itself seems indicative of bad scum or town, BUT...
This reeks of scum making a gambit and KNOWING that they're going to get CC'd, so proactively casting shade on the eventual CC.Lol inb4 scum picks me to cc
When I'm town and claim, I generally don't expect scum to make a fake CC to set up a 1v1 with me.
If this gets CC'd, Irrel is like 90% scum.-

Will wait for Taly to confirm, but I see no scum motivation to fakeclaim in the PT.In post 426, xyzzy wrote:okay now that that's over Taly claimed C14 cop in our B7 PT so there is 100% scum in {irrelephant, Taly} and I got the vibe from that PT that he was telling the truth-

I mean there’s like no chance that we go this whole game day without a scum cc
@Persivul
It’s just mechanically obvious
If Taly has also claimed cop in the scum pt then I bet scum is mafia and not werewolves is all that that means? I think that makes sense.
Regardless xyzzy and Persivul both seem overeager to lynch me here. I guess both can’t be scum at this point though, so my money is that i was right a page or two ago and it’s Persivul/Taly-

There's no C14 scum motivation for Taly to claim C14 cop in the B7 mafia PT. The claim would likely be countered by claim or flip at some point, and unless xyzzy had been killed in both games, they'd expose it. (Exception: if Taly and xyzzy are both scum/scum this analysis doesn't apply, but that's pretty unlikely).In post 432, Irrelephant11 wrote: If Taly has also claimed cop in the scum pt then I bet scum is mafia and not werewolves is all that that means?
Unfortunately, this logic also applies to your claim. But, other factors are making you much scummier than Taly.

1. Factors that had me scum reading you D1, although TBH as the day went by that was waning.In post 436, Irrelephant11 wrote:What are these “other factors?”
2. As noted, the foreshadowing of a CC that you gave today.
3. Taly's play today as scum was completely different from his play yesterday, which makes me wonder if he could have played so well yesterday if he were scum/scum. Seems like he must have had one town game going.
4. A personal tell from experience which I'm holding onto for a calendar day or two.
Before I say much more though I want to do a meta dive on scum games from both of you, particularly checking Pine's claim that a proactive fakeclaim is something you'd do as scum.-

Well now would be a wonderful time to try it in LyLo and to fuck over town. But hey, I'm not judging much.
Also, anybody here gonna address that Pine claimed Seer but Elephant claimed Cop?
Honestly if I was modding, to differentiate the games more, Id make C14 a game with werewolves and B7 the game with Mafia. So theoretically, Pine seems more likely to be telling the truth.I made a GTKAS. Go shitpost in it if you want. It's very lonely.

C14 requires that the choice be made randomly. if it was made non-randomly, this game would by definition be not C14.
hey here's an idea for a stupid C14 variant: the two non-town players share an alignment and are treated as a normal unified faction no matter what, but they each roll either werewolf or mafia independently, so you have a 50% chance of a team of one wolf and one goon, a 25% chance of two wolves, and a 25% chance of two goons.-

Wait, wait... Wait.
Pine - Seer
Elephant - Cop
Taky - Cop
What the fuck there's 3 claims. Holy fuck scum went all in.I made a GTKAS. Go shitpost in it if you want. It's very lonely.

Interesting that (again, assuming Taly stands by what xyzzy said about him claiming cop) xyzzy/Persivul is also a 1v1, and Pine becomes conftown
I wonder if xyzzy cared about who would be in the 1v1s, or if he just thought this would be more believable (than claiming cop himself) because “what are the odds they were both double scum???” (A fallacy, btw - the roles of one game have no bearing on the odds of the roles in the other game)
Taly is almost certainly about to be scumfirmed for me but I can also case the team more later, gotta go for a bit
Pedit: I meant C14
