Why would you consider this optimal?
I wasn't really thinking particularly far. If I wanted to give an actually accurate answer to this question I'd need to look at the end of day one, but I'm not entirely sure if that would even be accurate because I have no idea what my mindset would be going into a game like this as a serial killer.
With regards to RC. The first thing to discuss is his claim. He's been falling back a lot upon the laurel that the rolecop confirms his role, i.e. the existence of a rolecop should make his role more reasonable to exist. While this is not strictly true, it is somewhat true that a rolecop makes more sense with a miller in the game. Jailkeeper isn't a particularly useful role to find because it can easily be scum; vig is a role that confirms itself anyway. There isn't a whole lot of utility for a rolecop in this game with only vanilla townies alive other than myself, even if there's some scum who gives a positive.
Next there's the claim itself, i.e. the whole "i'm not a vt" debacle. That way of claiming just adds obstacles as scum - if he gets lynched that day, he has to explain why he wasn't nightkilled or why nothing else strange happened because he's obviously going to claim that he was trying to draw a nightkill.
His Vinkah/OS tunnel comprises literally the entirety of his d3. It's either town who was just caught in what turned out to be a bad tunnel, or scum resting on their laurels. I guess he could have been trying to defend Nacho from being the next likely lynch target but I don't feel like defending Nacho would be super high priority for the scum at that point. I think the tunnel seems more likely from town given that he had a very detailed case at the start of the day - I can see it as very reasonable for town to have tunneled that deeply, but I think RC-scum would have given himself at least some outs. If OS is lynched and flips town of course that makes RC look bad. If Nacho were lynched and flipped scum, that would also make him look bad even though he'd been putting some suspicion on Nacho because he'd been tunneling the other wagon so hard. It just doesn't make that much sense.
Another thing that pinged town was the series of posts from 2124-2130. The emotion felt genuine to me and it did feel to me like that particular series of posts made him look like very clear town at least at face value, so 2129 in particular felt genuine to me. The posts after that where he's mocking OS about his miller claim too. His overall attitude in that exchange just feels like it comes from town.-

Clearly.
I think you're town and this vote actually makes me more comfortable saying that, but I'm pretty disappointed by this. You may have given up, but I haven't and I didn't play for >120 pages and >45 days to get mis-lynched in MyLo so easily - there's zero resistance to the thought of lynching me. If you're town, this is unfair (both to me and any other townies that care) and I know that you should unvote.
Why isn't it Pie/NS?
UNVOTE: Wicked
Well, I tend not to think their dance on D3 was fake, Wicked. Though, admittedly, I was surprised with how quickly they ended up coming together and coalescing behind a Nacho vote. Does that strike you as odd?
Let me show everyone what I'm referring to in case we've forgotten:
Spoiler: pie attacks ns
Spoiler: ns attacks pie
So they were at each other's throats until...

I slept on it. In all honesty, I don't actually think notsci is scum anymore. 2437 and 2439 in particular were posts that stood out as feeling really really town.
I need to leave for class in a few minutes so I can't give an in-depth response to your post. I have a lot of time this afternoon after class so I'll be able to pop on and respond to it then.
In post 2453, pieguyn wrote:My issues with notsci's play were entirely logic-based and based around the fact that he/Nacho made a hell of a lot of sense as a scum team, plus the fact that I can't come up with any other way this game makes any sense due to having a lot of town reads elsewhere.
I think Nacho basically has to be scum here. Even outside of how it relates to notsci, most of what he's posted today is actually nonsense. *If* he is somehow town here, I will probably need to rethink everything about this game.
Later today I should hopefully be able to reread some stuff in-depth.
vote: Nacho

...and even as I'm putting this in my head together, I don't believe it. I can't believe it, Wicked. I'm trying to give you all the benefits I can, but I just don't see how they fit together. There is too much raw emotion here.-

That's fine. I'm inclined to believe you. (And now, even if you're SK, I don't want to no-lynch)."You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. -Wayne Gretzky"

It just doesn't make sense in my mind. I don't see the point to it all.
VOTE: Wicked
What aspect of it doesn't make sense?
"They bus each other very hard then agree to join forces midway through" - seems like something they'd do as partners, their conversation began shortly after day started (as it would if they had planned it the night before). Some other things to keep in mind: pie was cursing ns (her friend), they both expressed certainty that the other was scum, they're BFFs again today now that it's MyLo. If they really wanted to distance, why not go 'all in' ?
"and bus their third partner?" - is also a considerable possibility - by voting me, you are saying that you think I bussed my partner; so why couldn't they have?
And I didn't realize that scum were supposed to behave in a way that makes sense."You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. -Wayne Gretzky"

I asked because of this post you made on day 2.
In post 1585, notscience wrote:This could just be me but I think my scum meta is more intricate than tunneling or not (which, us wrong seeing as I'm town)
I'd direct you to pie but she's scumreading me and I'm not sure she scumreads me along with a buddy after bins game so.
If you are one for selfmeta, a lot of my scumgame revolves around buddying my friends (which could arguably be said about fery here- me buddying nacho would have come off as off because I'm normally insanely paranoid of him. I wouldn't want pie to get too close and then Tammy hasn't really been a big factor (which also this bugs me btw)). I would join wagons based off of others stances and try to break u fights, taking every instance to make a post with genuine emotion. I would also aim to start some stupid off topic discussions to detract from the point at hand.
So meh.-

I've been worrying about pie's flip on me.
I've been worrying about my tinfoil theory.
I've been worrying RC is town and I'm blatantly wrong but I don't know who between you or pie would make sense as scum with wicked.ShowSTRIKE HARD

Anyway, I remember thnking it was odd that I wasn't in the "insanely paranoid about" pile with Nacho when I first read that, and rereading tonight, I decided to ask.-

I read a recent scum and town game of wicked's to see if I could get some concrete feels for the differences in his game today. Then I started rereading the game tonight.
Wicked's day 1 looked pretty damn town. Day 2, also. But, I know I'm looking at a data channel that is incomplete. I put a lot of focus on tone and timing, but not so much the objective effect on the gamestate that stances and stance-changes make.-

I also think you draw scum against me a lot less than nacho does.
pedit-
Also, I have a hydra scumgame (with pie! but she wasnt there) that just finished if you want to go look at it.

probably nothng I haven't already seen in other recent games. Though the last time you were scum against me was the ff10 game I think.
I have this huge, horrible blind spot wrt Nacho.-

That's why I'm ignoring my tinfoil- the thing I pointed to earlier about him mirroring you bugging me. I have a lot of issues seeing that as duo scum, and I have issues thinking scumnacho goaded me into pushing pie becuase pie snapped at me every time i was unsure about her earlier and i dont think theyd orchestrate that around me.ShowSTRIKE HARD
