The JOAT powers I gave you are pretty scumsided. Camn let me design the powers for it. It'd be hard to justify them as Town.
Jailkeep, for versatile protect or roleblock.
Strongman, for when you just need someone dead, no questions asked.
Rolecop, for
Jin, the plan is that we're going to try to draw an investigate onto you. That means be shifty enough to draw it, but not scummy enough to get lynched. It's a fine line, but I think we can make it work.
SirCakez, I'm not sure we've met in a game. I wanted to pick someone who seemed reliable and capable, but with whom I had little or no history. There's going to be a bit of outguess-the-Pine to this game (if Town is smart), so I wanted someone with no easy lines to me. I hear good things about you.
My plan is to buddy up to the people I'm friendly with, to try and throw some WIFOM shade their way. Namely, Mastina, Nacho, Gin, and probably Aeronaut.

Dead serious here.
I'm entering in a 1v1 with Nacho.
Like. If he flips town POWER lynch me here.
I was informed that role assignment wasn't random this game.
Pine knows me to be a stellar scum player and not quite as strong a town player, yet I wasn't one of his picks for the scumteam.
But unless I massively misunderstood the game's nature: Pine did in fact get a choice in at least ONE scumbuddy, if not all three. (Something about a draft order.)
He didn't select me.
I refuse to believe he allowed both me and Nacho to be town.
So lynch me, lynch Nacho, doesn't matter who you lynch first but Nacho is scum.
Guaranteed.

I looked up the AngryPidgeon games Mastin referred to being in with Nacho. I actually see three; in one she was a Neighbor, another she was scum with him, Godfather and Goon, the other she was some kind of janitor. No clue where she's going with this.

This is what she's like. Just play cautiously around her. Start your own analysis from scratch, rather than building from hers. If you engage with her, just be contemplative, consider her points, try to gamesolve. Imagine it's multiball, and you're trying to find the other scum.
Plus, she's mostly ruled you out as scum, so there's that.

No, it's fine as long as you phrase it like that. The problem was that your statement presents MasTowna as a given, rather than a read. Just back it up with a reasoned TR

You guys should probably take opposite sides on Nacho. Bite on the WIFOM I'm laying down, and try to figure out if I'm trying to get him lynched or protect him.

This is almost exactly the advice I was going to give. Treat her as you would any other experienced player. Fate and Nacho too. Some of the older folks like to encourage their own legend, but few are as blatant about it as Mastina. She's good, but she's just as fallible as anyone else. Right now, for example, she's got it in her head that I would never let all three of them be Town, and she'll likely hold onto that until Fate and Nacho have both flipped. To her credit, she's got Camn nailed. Camn drafted Nacho first and Fate second.

Ehhh, I'd be careful with Fate. He tends to be a bit OMGUSy, and his counterattacks are rough. I'd say let someone else lead the charge, but he's the kind for whom if you back down, he'll pounce. Best to ease off slowly, by finding a better target. This also has the benefit of looking like disingenuous distancing, should you get killed.
I get a sense that Monokuma is similar in that respect.
Maybe pressure BTD6 or Vaxkiller a bit. Just make sure it doesn't come off as bullying the lurkers.

EBWOP: I'm laying a version of the above post into the main thread as a mine. I'm trying to make it look like a mistaken post meant for here. I'm replacing Vaxkiller with Cakez, as he's kind of lurky right now, so I'd actually put pressure on Vax or Prism.

Oh, I agree, I'd be careful with him. He's mostly reputation, and is just as fallible as anyone, but don't back off - his counterattacks can be fierce.

It will probably look like a genuine slip. It forfeits BTD6 as Town until Cakez flips, but if it works, it could make Cakez obvTown. That's way more valuable than confirming someone we can easily NK.

Seriously, there's a lot of arrogance and pride in this Town. Just so many of them think it'll be easy to decipher my WIFOM. I'm just having fun trolling everyone. I kind of wish my boys would post more, so I can troll them.
And I agree, the Officer Barbrady img was a bit too much.

If I'm perfectly honest, Jin? I didn't. I picked Gin, and Camn misunderstood. She was really apologetic, but I was like "Yeah I can do this. Jin's quality too."
You're right, your scumgame could use refinement, but so can mine. My scumgame shines in late game too. If I get lynched as scum, it's usually early on. Once things have solidified, things are a lot easier to work with. The earlier the game is, and the more players there are, the more variables you have to deal with. People are less predictable. There's less confirmation bias. Look at Hunger Games...I was able to pocket Camn because she was set in her reads, and the ones that weren't, I could influence to where I wanted.
All that said, you did make it to my final cut, so I'm not upset. You've got tons of potential, and I'm happy to work with you to polish things up. Given how hard Gin is getting grilled, I'm calling it fortunate.
I mean I think SirCakez is town anyway but it sure as fuck wasn't for that.
Pine literally stole the "oh shit that was meant for the scum PT, nothing to see here, I can bury this and people will ignore it" from me. This post more specifically, 2188, and the followthrough, 2190.
(Like, the concept of being confscum? This is how I handled it. Incidentally, that was the game which got me to switch from my Zorbak avvy to my trolol avvy.)
I've written three different versions of how to respond to this, as it's a little infuriating to hear Mastina assume I'm copying her when I've never read that game. As if I can't have an original idea of my own. Alas, I admit that it is beyond my ability to write an answer that contests her assertion without tacitly conceding her point that it was a fake slip. That may have been her goal. So I'll just bitch to you guys.
And yeah, I considered posting a version of this very post in the guise of a slip itself, as a possible response. Complete with this final tag, even. Frustrating.

You look fine. I really wish I'd mocked Mastina's analysis of why I'd draft you a little more. I need to spread it out evenly, and an "Oh no, Aero! They figured out our secret plan!" would have been appropriate. I probably didn't due to subconsciously not wanting to call attention to accurate analysis, which is the opposite of what I need to do. They're buying most of what I'm mocking.

Yeah, she'll get herself lynched eventually. We'll just restrict our NKs to people who don't SR her.
Drop Fate to scum, and propose a theory that I chose a team consisting of relative newbies anchored by a single strong player and copious use of daytalk. Reference Hunger Games II as proof-of-concept. If someone questions how you'd know since you weren't in it, say you read the scum thread from it (you should anyway.) It's been referred to enough to make it enlightening reading, and the scum thread, while longer than practically any I've ever heard of, it short enough to be reasonable for research. Also, the specificity of the claim will allay concerns that it's fabricated. More specific lies are better.
I think we could get a Fate lynch today.
Also, Fate flipping Town with that theory would give you cause to question your read on Nacho or Mastina tomorrow, your choice.

Shrug. I asked after your health when you announced you were in the ER. I'm an EMT, so it was a professional inquiry. The fact that we've played together recently is hardly uncommon knowledge. Mastina and Nacho are the only people in this game I'd be comfortable saying with confidence that I've played more games with.

It has all the benefit of actually being true.
PEdit: Maybe? I have no idea. I could swear we played several back in the day, but recently all you'd have with me was your recently-modded game. I wouldn't use that as an example of my scumgame, that was a really rough game. Unforced errors.
PEdit2: It's...kind of a whole different world. The exceptional becomes routine. My average day at work is one of the worst days in my patients' lives. It changes you a bit the first time you legit save a life, and it definitely changes you when you lose one that someone faster, better, or smarter than you might have saved. Every time, not just the first.

I mean, seriously. Just typing the above got me emotional. I'm great in a crisis, I can compartmentalize my insecurities and fears and worries and focus on the task at hand, but after the fact, it can hit me really hard. Like...right now.
I love my job, though. I remember the first time I got that feeling of having true positive impact on someone's life. I was still in training, and we responded to a car accident. A mom with two young kids in car seats got rear-ended at a busy intersection. She needed to be immobilized for suspected spinal injuries, but was freaking out about the kids. She was very cooperative with me while my partner checked on the kids, but she couldn't turn her head to look at them, and couldn't hear them because it was so loud. We got her into our ambulance, and I had her just hold my hand while I talked to her. The kids were fine, and we told her pretty quickly, but she was still panicking about what would happen to them while she was in the hospital, what if she was really hurt, who would they be with, was someone looking after them, etc etc. All the time I just kept holding her hand with one hand, while doing basic vitals assessment with the other (I was still a trainee after all). A firefighter finally stuck his head into our rig as we were about to leave to tell us the mom's neighbor had arrived to take the kids home and look after them. Mom burst into tears, all the tension flooded out of her, and she finally kind of collapsed in on herself. She squeezed my hand really hard, moved her eyes to me (her head was still restrained) and said, with tears in her eye, "Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you."
That moment rocked me to my core. It didn't matter that I was only one man among the thirty or more dedicated professionals reacting to the problem, even before she got to the hospital. I was part of it, and I had the privilege to look her in the eye and BE THERE for her.
I had decided to be an EMT for a while to pay the bills and fulfill a bucket list thing, but after that I decided to stick with it. Not as a career, EMS is really rough on a family man, but I'll likely maintain my credentials throughout my life and continue to volunteer until I'm old and grey. We deal with so many ungrateful pieces of shit, so many sad cases, and we can't save everyone, least of all from themselves. But every once in a while, we're in the right place at the right time for the right person, and we are able to be the cavalry coming over the hill. There's absolutely nothing like it in my experience, though many of my coworkers who are veterans say their experiences there are comparable, and I imagine there are uncounted police and firefighters who have similar stories.
So yeah. I have more than a passing interest when someone says they're in the ER.

Aero, stop feeding the
troll
Mastina. Don't ignore her entirely, but don't focus on her. Do your own thing.
Pretty much no one else is giving a shit about you, so your interactions with her are bringing up the question "Is Aero scum" a lot more than it naturally would.
Same could go for Jin, but he's "Sir Not Appearing in this Game."
Usually I don't find lurking to be an effective scum strategy, but it's going well so far.

So Jin, belay that attack on Fate entirely. Just go after someone else. Monobear should be a good target if you can handle throwing down with them. Aristophanes would be a softer target, but possibly too soft.
Aero, keep your vote where it is. Moving off right away is not the attention we want, but taper down overt effort against Fate. Choose one of your secondary reads and get super interested in them. When/if the Fate wagon crumbles, you can either begrudgingly move it or be stubborn on him, whatever the mood of the room is.
