Desperado, I agree with you on SleepyKrew and Jason. I feel that they are both individually scummy. I am convinced that I want one of them lynched today although I am not sure which. Also, these are some of the posts that I am townreading Juls for. Let me know your thoughts on it.

And talking about the other head of your hydras is making me confused too.
if you replace out (especially when efforts have been made to try to include you) we will have to decide whether or not that you genuinely feel excluded (and I do not know what else to do to get you to feel included but vote you) or if you are throwing your hands up in the air cos your scummates are [redacted].
It's not about being included, it's about being annoyed because I can't form reads when hydras are talking about each other and then other hydras referring to them by their heads names. I don't like to replace out but this game is going to be real difficult for me to follow. Everyone seems to know each other and that's great, but I don't know most of you, I don't know what side-games you are talking about and it's not something I am enjoying at the moment.
While this could be non alignment-indicative, I thought that her emphasis on developing reads and frustration that she can't develop them because of the hydras felt genuine, like she wanted to keep track of everyone so she could read us all.

It will be a lesson I learn and play better next time. I don't find myself under suspicion very often in the game of mafia as either alignment but when everyone piles on I get a little flustered. Especially when I am town and my only defense is, I did something dumb. I will be at work all day then have somewhere to go after. I will post from my phone but won't be able to respond with a word count that is probably sufficient enough for you until probably late tonight or early tomorrow.
That being said, when I do get lynched! please look at who is being the most opportunistic and that is helium
Other things to address
@Skrew - why would I need to crumb from the get go as a neighbor? People I neighborize will confirm that ability. I crumbed more to explain my vote than to confirm my role.
@helium - I keep this line of communication open to show how ridiculous of an argument you are making so let me talk real slow for you ( well read it real slow ok?). I am Juls. I joined back in 2008. My husband is Moratorium. He also joined back in 2008. The hydra, Julatorium was created in May of 2014. I don't "not understand" hydras. I generally do not like playing with them unless the present themselves as one person with the occasional "hydra head A thinks this". In this game, people are addressing questions and talking to hydra heads specifically. They are also posting on their mains. Not all but some. The fact there are like 6 hydras in this game are compounding the problem.
The suspicion of Helium felt genuine and the focus on lynching someone else after she is lynched and flipped town comes across as a mild towntell. I guess it is possible she as scum is flustered at letting her team down but the "I did a stupid thing" felt genuine and not like she is trying to cover up anything or make herself look good.
In post 908, Juls wrote:I have fought. But people keep voting me so I will keep fighting right up until you do lynch me. It will be YOUR (collective town) responsibility to go back through the day and see the disingenuous people pushing me. Pay close attention to those who are defending me as well because
there is likely at least one scum in that bunch who doesn't want to touch my wagon with a ten foot pole. It will likely be the ones who believed me beyond a shadow of a doubt, not the ones who have struggled to read me.
I have admitted that I can see where people thought I was scummy. I have no delusions that I will make it very late in this game. In fact, I strongly suggest not keeping me around longer than maybe 3 days max so we don't have to revisit questions surrounding my day one play and lose. The "when" you lynch me doesn't necessarily only apply to today.
The emphasis on players both on and off her wagon feels like paranoid town that is afraid that scum are whiteknighting her for the cred. I feel that scum don't usually attack players defending them as to not antagonize them unless they are playing at a very high level. I liked that Juls was paranoid, she was certainly paranoid of us, felt that we were scum with Slandaar, and once Slandaar flipped, thought that she was legitimately onto something. The one thing that concerned me though was the bolded in light of her suspicion on us now. It is clear that we struggled to read her which she characterizes as flipping reads through convenience but it could just be confbias.
In post 921, Juls wrote:The more people talk, the more information town will have when I get lynched.
It's clear I don't fit in with this group. I don't know if that is due to scum jumping on me and riding me or if it's just personality conflict. Either way, I think my presence is hurting town. Therefore, if I am not lynched, I will choose my target and then replace out during the night.
Three things I liked about this post:
a) The emphasis on gathering information for the town if she is mislynched
b) The assumption that her not fitting in is due to personality conflicts etc and the fact that she is making a big deal about not fitting in. I feel it is more natural for scum that don't fit in to assume that their lack of fitting in is due to being scum and faking their reads and analysis.
c) Her consideration of replacing out while also doing something she believes will help the town. As scum, she doesn't need to do this since she has daytalk with her buddies and they can take care of it.
Overall, if she is posting like this as scum, she'd have to be
incredibly
manipulative, especially concerning the replace-out.
In post 923, Juls wrote:Fuck, even my decision to replace out is argued over. I thought it would be better to pick someone so that they didn't have to make a snap decision without getting fully caught up. I'm trying to have as little impact on the flow of the game as possible.
In post 925, Juls wrote:I've let Zach know my intentions and asked to have someone start reading up. If I don't get lynched and he has a replacement who is ready to go when night gets here they can pick their target.
These two posts concerning the replace out also felt genuine.
