I've done a bit of digging

I think the last (only?) time I've made it to an elo as town was 2017

[jjh927]

And that was a 5-2 mountainous game

I do think this being my second time in this position says quite a lot about my towngame, as all the other times that I've been immune to scumkills for whatever reason we got all the scum before elo

[jjh927]

Maybe I'm forgetting a game or two though

[Roden]

Do you actually think you couldn't play a scum game where you defend your partner and vote with them?

Like how am I supposed to find that even remotely convincing...

You keep simplifying my actions. : /

Why do you believe I NK my pocket and have them fight my scum buddy?

And I just got out of a game where koba was like "oh I can't be scum cause why would I night kill someone that townread me" and "how could I be scum when I made this post hard defending the flipped scum"

And then Datisi actually bought that hard defending their partner was town-indicative and voted me to lose in ELO lol

OOF

Datisi has real bad luck with Koba in ELo. Kinda evil to do that to him again after Mini 2239.

Addressing the point though, I'm not Koba. Koba is gutsy and can make convincing plays like that, I'm not. I can't really say I'd never do that since it might be considered a trust tell, but yeah I'd at least play it differently.

I do think you're town telling with this post though. I think you're trying too hard to make me fit in the scum team, but tonally you've been pretty town. How much do you trust JJH?

[Roden]

My only concern at this point is that nobody seems to be considering a Faerie/Flea scum team even though they've been vouching for each other all game.

[jjh927]

I have considered it

A town player in your position would throw the fight though so that would be a win too

[jjh927]

Like, seriously, can you really say nobody has considered it with a straight face when I have literally been trying to get you to agree to an insurance measure against that exact team for this entire phase

[Roden]

Asking town to self kill =/= scum casing Flea.

[jjh927]

Considering something doesn't mean you believe it

You certainly don't

[jjh927]

You've expressed trouble believing either of them could be scum for ages and now you're worried people aren't thinking they could both be scum?

Predictable and survivalistic because you want to have a chance at winning in the next day phase

So let's say Faerie is scum and you win the fight against me and I flip town. ELo is you/Dwlee/Flea. Do you just instant vote Flea then?

[jjh927]

Yeah

[jjh927]

Like what, am I supposed to believe that scum!Faerie voted against scum!Dwlee in the fight against Not Mafia when there was such high variance there that the only reason it wasn't resolved by chance was NM forgetting to vote? If you're somehow town it's a faerie/flea scumteam

[jjh927]

My only other possible consideration in that situation would be to meme for deadline and let dwlee and flea fight each other, but tbh when it comes down to it I'd rather just win the game than do the funny

[Roden]

I'm pretty obviously town but alright.

VOTE: Faerie

[Faerie Mages]

Faerie: Good game, we were town

[jjh927]

Both of those last two posts are factually incorrect

Roden, when you fight, please remember you can vote for the other player

[Roden]

I actually planned to throw the fight the entire time until you kept trying to force me to.

[jjh927]

I can respect that if it's true, especially since if that is the case then you'd be the one who has correctly solved the game at this stage and I'd be one flip (yours) behind

You did lim twice in my townreads and pushed back hard against me wanting to lim in flea/faerie in the previous day phase though, so I feel it'd all balance out

[Roden]

Tbh I just wanted to see who'd town tell if I said a bunch of dumb shit lol. Faerie is just like "yeah that's town" and Flea is dragging faer feet to have any kind of opinion and instead just waiting to see if I'll actually follow through on voting you. You and Dwlee showed exasperation and are actually trying to solve so I'm fine with an ELo without me now.

[Roden]

Faerie being scum really does go against my expectations though because that fight match up seemed too anti-scum to come from scum. Especially since I'm basically the only one who bought it anyway.

Despite all attempt to goad them into it, Faerie Mages were steadfast in their refusal to fight. Unfortunately, pacifism doesn't really stop knife blades.

They were a member of the MAFIA.

[Jingle]

The mafia are now choosing the combatants. Faerie Mages is now choosing a constraint. They have:
