Ducky was confirmed wolf pretty early on in the day, why would I waste effort to solve him. I've been very open in every part of the game, in fact I kept inviting people to discuss with me. Told passenger to clear the air, tell me why he thinks I'm wolf why he is the way he is so that if I was wrong I can be convinced as being close minded is dumb. I've been like this throughout the entire game, I've tried making sure to look into whether or not Wiz was confirmed town from the check or not. Considering worlds where RN was wolf too, you're again just picking and choosing what to call out.In post 885, ZZZX wrote: I will tell you the quickest difference you can tell between every town and scum in this game, consistency, or lack thereof, with town's lack of information, we play with the assumption that anyone, could be scum. RN, even when he has a clean result on you, still had his questions, even if he didnt seriously consider it, he flip flopped on me like 5 times in the last day. That alone drove me to heavily town read him at that point. Wiz, you even had a similar thing, where you even suspected RN, Jackson had a very clear pin-point focus on me, with very, very little anything regarding TW, in fact looking at #762 and other posts, you can tell that it was a given that TW was scum for him, even though... well, I can't see him talking about TW much if at all? In fact, you spent more time discussing ME, discussing Mailman, where he somehow became an expert at the topic, AFTER me and RN brought it up, over the last 2 days. Just look at #501, his "earnest scum-reads" are me, and passenger. TW? Who is TW even? If Jackson is town, it should be obvious that Worst is scum, and in that case he would defend his case his hardest, town would not not-care in lim-lose, scum would not not-case in Scum v Town, the only explination for this dont-care behavior is a planned SvS. He spent half the day talking about me, limming me, or me being scum, but didn't bother voting. You might ask, why? Well, because after TW's vote, it would result in his being scum being aparent, when none quick hammers me, or Jackson, then by a simple PoE it would mean 100% that jackson is scum. And with the other pairings we had found, it would be a solved game.
You were also almost certainly confirmed wolf in my eyes as I TR RN by a pretty large degree and he cleared Wiz. You think I'd go and consider more worlds when it's so cemented that you're the wolf? I had a different perspective than RN, so our plays ARE DIFFERENT because of that.-

I haven't given up but I was going to, just be glad I didn't do a shit thing and give up.In post 886, ZZZX wrote: The entire section with bending over the losing just doesn't make sense. The reaction and mental state in a 3 man is never that, and in fact I am aware this is all an emotional ploy, but I will say it anyway: If you get into a game, and decide to give up in a lim-lo situation, I don't find that acceptable. But in reality this is just emotional talk, intending to just set this entire thing up. The paragraph about the writing with those assumptions is just fake bs.-

I never let off that I didn't read the game. I skimmed it between moments and posted whenever I felt I wanted to post.In post 886, ZZZX wrote: You can tell already by this point, that all of his setup for last night was for this point, this entire post is just appealing to emotions. and sure, that is something that I myself often do in some games. But here, it is simply a ploy thats built on everything in the last day. I am not going to comment on RL situation, because I understand that happened, but in reality when its proven that you DID read the game, and you WERE aware of being voted, and having no reaction to that. You didn't give up, you went "lets setup ZZZX, talk about a random note about ZZZX reads!" instead of putting your reads, talking about TW situation, or anything else of use.-

I'm allowed to discuss what I feel is important to discuss. It's mechanics that exist so discussing it is worthwhile. Why would a neighbour also require being a compulsive neighbour? What's the point of that? When the entire setup is linked around the Traffic Analyst, which makes it a useless mech.In post 885, ZZZX wrote: In fact, you can tell with both me RN, the moment none claimed mailman, BOTH OF US AGREED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER, it was clear the mailman was scum refusing to claim, and there were no tools in the game to find said Mailman, so it would make more sense to avoid any chaos or bs from the topic. Yet you find Jackson very deep in this topic, hence why I went into it here.-

And to prove how useless a vote actually is and it's more often used to make a point, here's a vote.

Ah, so it seems I have the unenviable role of choosing who is eliminated here—nothing like the crushing responsibility of having to pick correctly to really jolt the sense, y’know?
I’m going to look through this backlog now and give some overarching thoughts.Hi, I'm Annie! Please have patience with me—I am disabled.-

Ah, well, it’s a little too late for me to go through everything here right now and have detailed comments on the arguments from the last day, but everything from both of you seem to have reasonable alternate explanations—which is to say that there doesn’t seem to be any unmistakable smoking guns, which isn’t my favorite sort of endgame to have.
I think, uh, based on the info we have, there’s not going to be any open-shut cases, so I might have to go off conjecture in the end—however, I can at least use some logic on the set-up by analyzing Bianco’s previous set-ups to hopefully figure this new one out.
So, uh, basically—ZZZX also has a good defense, and basically nothing upon this first, somewhat cursory glance over both arguments seems particularly unexplainable to me. I might’ve missed something while reading through, but after work tomorrow I’ll do my best to thoroughly analyze all of this and then organize my thoughts for y’all.Hi, I'm Annie!

I mean, in a sense the setup is interesting, and it explains why it was in review for a while. But I do enjoy it, it adds a lot of questions, which is what I expect a fun setup to have.
And Jackson, you didn't ignore TW when it was clear TW is scum, you didnt mention TW, and none truly saw TW as confirmed scum. So a town-you would've tried to convince us, instead of doing nothing. No?Implosion: I see ZZZX wasredacted. For shame, people. For shame.

If you look early last day, none had the worst as confirmed scum, and you ignored him when everyone was discussing him/and you. And instead commented on my read list which was very irrelevant there.
Is that more legible?Implosion: I see ZZZX wasredacted. For shame, people. For shame.

Oh yeah that makes more sense. I just didn't really have the energy to go against someone like him at that point in time, so I just avoided doing so for my own sanity.In post 912, ZZZX wrote: If you look early last day, none had the worst as confirmed scum, and you ignored him when everyone was discussing him/and you.

So, some notes on the most important things in ZZZX’s arguments:
Spoiler:
I will say, Jackson did say that they had to go help their mom in an area without signal/wi-fi around this point, so I’m unsure about this being able to be reasonably associated with anything but legitimate V/LA—at least, I think assuming it’s V/LA before anything malicious is probably best—so we can’t really take the lack of posts here as proof of anything, I think.
Spoiler:
It did find it really weird how Jackson only voted when they thought it would be the hammer—sure, we can say it was due to frustration, but it feels odd to rescind the vote based on it not ending the elimination right there. While we can’t really extrapolate much from the lack of responses earlier on in D3, this refusal to vote (and refusal to keep their vote) was super odd to me even at the time, and I’m glad you also noted it as weird.
Spoiler:
I hate to use this, but I feel there’s a burden of proficiency on Jackson here. Jackson had a lot of wrong reads the entire game (especially scumreads), which is rather suspicious—not conclusive by any means, but still, they did lead the town to the wrong target on D2 and did not assist much, if at all, during D3.
Spoiler:
Oh jeez, can you imagine Compulsive Disloyal Messenger Neighbor Werewolf as a role? I know it’s possible (and not that unlikely given this set-up), but gosh, what a funny idea. I think that, personally, it’s odd to have two communicative roles on one slot, which is a major factor in my trust of Jackson—but at the same time, the Informed modifier on the worst means is likely for some sort of information, right?
Jackson was rather weird about my theory, which could be due to frustration or something along those lines, but I also have to consider how it could also an active attempt to discourage a real solve. Interestingly, multiple people (including me) noted the possibility of a double-Neighbor scumteam D2 after the massclaim, so it must be at least something notable.
Plus, based on Bianco’s previous games, it’s very clear that some wild stuff tends to happen with roles when he mods—we have to consider even the oddest possibilities as perhaps more realistic here than a “standard” set-up.Hi, I'm Annie! Please have patience with me—I am disabled.-

I have to re-iterate my playstyle. I don't value a vote and only place it when it's functional in nature. Whether that be to put pressure on a scummy slot, or to hammer. I don't feel the need to place it just for the sake of placing it.In post 915, AnimatedWiz wrote: It did find it really weird how Jackson only voted when they thought it would be the hammer—sure, we can say it was due to frustration, but it feels odd to rescind the vote based on it not ending the elimination right there.

While I am very appreciative that you think this highly of me but realistically what do you expect of me? I join a game where nothings happened and I catch someone outright lying (Passenger) and I pushed ZZZ. Neither of these were wrong pushes. I still stand by my Passenger push because that was just scummy, kinda still shocked that they're Town.In post 915, AnimatedWiz wrote: I hate to use this, but I feel there’s a burden of proficiency on Jackson here.

I admit, at this point at the end of the game there’s so much information to comb through that it’s rather overwhelming. There’s good evidence for both sides here, and it’s so incredibly hard to try to figure out what the best choice is—I feel I might have to go with my gut most of all.
ZZZX has been quiet a lot of the game and consistently rather suspicious. Jackson has been so active in leading us away from the correct eliminations.
I… think I may have to vote soon if I want to make a decision that I stand by.Hi, I'm Annie! Please have patience with me—I am disabled.-

Definitely just frustration and I would be frustrated about that regardless of my alignment. It was pushing me for reasons that were not even anywhere close to being confirmed, you were seeming to be living in dreamland rather than down on earth and I was fighting against that. Of course I was frustratedIn post 915, AnimatedWiz wrote: Jackson was rather weird about my theory, which could be due to frustration or something along those lines, but I also have to consider how it could also an active attempt to discourage a real solve.

Away from the correct elims? Do you disagree that the Passenger wagon was needed? I also was pushing ZZZ primarily, who is a wolf. I'd say I did really well with my pushesIn post 918, AnimatedWiz wrote: I admit, at this point at the end of the game there’s so much information to comb through that it’s rather overwhelming.

Like they outright lied and was called out on it. Do you think that's not a solid push? I feel you're kinda not seeing what actually happened this game but just seeing the results and using that, which like is not how a game of mafia works-
