both. im still trying to verify that you arent a very very brave scum. it also is just odd, so im curious even if you are conftown. seems like a pretty quick turnaround there.

I unvoted because I don't want a hammer just yet. I want to check some things with Looker. I still think Knightmare is most likely to flip scum at this current time of day (real life day, not in-game day)

i dunno, i buy the argument between them as genuine and desperate, like theyre trying to survive knowing theyre on the chopping block. if they were both scum then they'd try a different tactic today probably, because even if theyre successful in bussing today, there's gonna be plenty of attention on the other tomorrow. it also seems a bit too easy if a wagon got to L-2 and scum just decided "hey its d1, lets quickhammer for the lulz."

Looker's not voting Knightmare though. He had the chance to hammer him for a quite a while there too.

Exactly, that's what I was getting at. I'm gonna wait 24 hours and then hammer him at this time of day.

Hey, Looker. Recti is conftown, and so am I. Were you aware of this situation?

Who do you scumread?
You and Rectiplanes are 'confirmed' informed.

Yeah, we're informed of each other being town. So, either we're both scum or town.

Why are you voting Recti still?

Well, let's look at the ways today plays out. Let's say we hang Knightmare. OK.

-Hang Knightmare and he flips
scum
- well, then, Hoctac and I are both confirmed town, end of story.

-Hang Knightmare and he flips
town
. OK. Scum can either NK one of us or not.

--If one of us dies from NK then again we're both mutually confirmed town.

--If the scum decide
not
to NK us - out of WIFOM motives, I suppose - the game enters a very odd reverse LyLo where the scumteam is at a massive disadvantage: if the scumteam can't fool the third townie into voting for one of us, the scumteam is in a very bad situation (work through the possibilities)

Most likely Hoctac and I are the next two NKs. But in any case, we're not scum and that should prove obvious going forward.

Not really, I just noticed they change a lot.

Apart from that, Looker's last post gave us actual content. Still want to know who Looker looks at for scum beyond Knightmare.

Not really, they could be. But that's not the point I'm making. He's
scum reading
me so it's convenient for him to ignore Umalaut because as scum he doesn't really care about game solving.
In post 314, Looker wrote:Then why did you put him at L-1?
To get reactions? Move that game forward? That's how mafia works?
In post 314, Looker wrote:What are the good things?
You get to end day 1 which is the best day to look back on after a scum flip. You get a free kill ASAP. Then you get town arguing among each other if it's too scummy to be scum. It's a very plausible thing for scum to do.

For now,

I can't see why a town would say "I'm pretty confident I'm town."

No. This isn't math class, and I don't need/want silly arguments over methodology, which is what this inevitably derails into. It's a personal project; consider these reads my personally held opinion reached through judgment.
and don't ignore my questions.
I had honestly thought this was rhetorical, not a real question, but I shall answer it now.

HumanEatingMonkey is confirmed town, and thus his opinions carry some weight. I have some experience of his abilities and would add more weight to them. I understand you feel there want anything to go off of on day one, and it was extraordinarily short and full of bullshitting, but there was some small actual content to work with and I believe HEM saw some of it and made some reads based on it.

That's not really a strong argument tbh, idk about Umlaut but his read on my strikes as OMGUS more than anything and after my flip you'll know he was wrong.

Anyway, what is your read on Looker?
