with 8 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

day two will end with no lynch in (expired on 2018-11-16 19:00:00)

A Lynch has been achieved.

[Elsa Jay]

This is me

... You pagetop'd for this?

Takes a while to do the VC.

[Almost50]

Almost, what Pairs looks likely to be together of all of us as scum? And if Carmen flips scum, who is their partner?

Not doing pairs yet. I am overgamed as it is and it's drawing my ability to focus down (there was a time where I would play in 3-4 games with -say- Mathdino, tw and <insert someone who isn't currently active> in all of them, and it used to make me confuse my reads on -again say- tw in one game as the read on him on another). Fortunately, none of Mathdino, tw, or even the unmentioned 3rd are actually playing any games nowadays, but I trust you get the point.

Let's do a normal read list instead:

DVa (as X): My current most confident TR (meta read)
EJ: My second most confident TR. (I'd rather not explain yet, but I can if I must)
N_M: Still confident enough this is Town.

Ofrhz/Sasha: used to be TOWN, but now that Clemency claimed I think one of the two may be scum.
Clemency: Only below ofrhz/Sasha because I have a different reason. He is actually at the same level as both of them, but he used to be my 2nd strongest SR until he claimed.

Carmen: Still my preferred lynch. I think it's also informative as well as being on a scummy slot.

DVa (as Y): My most confident SCUM READ.

If anyone missed it, my read on DVa is reliant on me pegging her main correctly. If she is X this is Town X. If she is Y this is Scum Y.

[DVa]

Even if I had some reasons to townread you, I would be unwilling to lock you as town because of your pretty clear bias in regard to the N_M slot, which could easily cost us the game if he is scum. Even if you're town, I don't feel like you're being objective

Just reiterating that while you have drifted closer to town A50, I'm still not convinced in your ability to correctly sort N_M, and I don't think you're right about Tictac slot, so if town I feel like you're playing for the wrong team rn

but w/e, I'll stay open-minded. You think it's Carmen, fine. I'm not re-evaluating my read based on the current data so let the replacement scum it up then

[Not_Mafia]

Save the mod the bother, lynch the Carmen slot

[Elsa Jay]

Give me a legitimate incentive then.

[DVa]

Save the mod the bother, lynch the Carmen slot

we can lynch this

[Not_Mafia]

Give me a legitimate incentive then.

Carmen is scum

[DVa]

VOTE: Not_Mafia

[Almost50]

Give me a legitimate incentive then.

Please hammer Carmen. If that's a scum slot DVa could very well be her partner. If it flips Town, DVa is confirmed Town. (see, saves someone a check)

[Almost50]

Oh, and if carmen is scum N_M becomes confirmed Town.

[DVa]

Give me a legitimate incentive then.

Please hammer Carmen. If that's a scum slot DVa could very well be her partner. If it flips Town, DVa is confirmed Town. (see, saves someone a check)

why do you think you should be townread for posts like this that show only surface level thinking?

[Almost50]

This is not surface level thinking. This is me deep-wolfing. DEAL WITH IT!

[Almost50]

Like, I'm not gonna wait for someone to come in and ask for time to catch up and then kill the game with apathy and then everybody gets cold feet and redirect their lynch to a town slot instead. I am going to replace out if that happens because I'm sick of scum flaking games and/or scum lurking it out and people being indifferent about it.

There used to be a rule about replacing out as scum, but it seems every one either forgot about it or people found a way around it. I'm seriously considering adding a rule in my games that any replace out = modkill + blacklist

[Elsa Jay]

I'll give the mod until 5 PM my time. So an hour and a half. I'll hammer if there's no replacement. Sorry Dva.

[Almost50]

I join game to PLAY games.. not to wait for someone to grace me with their presence if so they kindly will. If someone doesn't think they're up for a game they should not sign up for said game. Period.

[Sashaddin]

Please hammer Carmen. If that's a scum slot DVa could very well be her partner. If it flips Town, DVa is confirmed Town. (see, saves someone a check)

I'd prefer to hear more from the replacement player, but if you insist I can do it now instead of waiting for EJ.

[Almost50]

I'll give the mod until 5 PM my time. So an hour and a half. I'll hammer if there's no replacement. Sorry Dva.

OK. I'll accept that. THANK YOU.

Didn't see this sorry.

No, that's alright. If someone does take the slot and actually plays I can take that (although I'm almost positive it's a scum slot based on how things went). If the replacement comes in just to say "I'll catch up tomorrow" though I'm for an instant hammer.

Yeah but Carmen siteflaked altogether so it's unlikely this was an anticipated issue

we have

TEN

DAYS

why are you in such a big fucking hurry?

[Clemency]

I won't be happy unless he confirms he's on someone like you, Almost. Maybe Dva. But I want to know this shit. I dont want him saying it was a gambit and go "oh, I tried to bait the nk and guarded x instead of y". He's a 2-shot, so he says, so I want him to make it count.

OK... OK.

@Clemency: Who did you BG last night? Also, can you pick a BG target between myself and DVa and confirm in public you are going to be on that specific player tonight?

Also, please don't forget to explain the bolded in the previous post.

P-edit: Oh, well.. now I know you won't forget.

it's your boy mr.way too inactive with the answers
I guarded elsa last night as i was very 50/50 on whether they were vanilla cop or whatever (i didnt pay too much attention) but by the time day 2 came i had decided to try and push that side
after that however i kind of hit a lazy streak and by the time i came back to save myself i'd had a change of heart about elsa again, and didnt wanna press it further

i hereby honorably confirm the fact that my second use of my god given abilities will be placed on almost50

i'm gonna go look for that bolded text now brb

[Clemency]

See, this is why I'm suspicious of him, and really have no reason to beleive his claim. If I scumread someone, my read doesn't go away because they claim TPR. And I legitimately think he could be just using it as cover because he also never soft'd a claim. This was a play made when it seemed like he was a possible lynch.

I won't be happy unless he confirms he's on someone like you, Almost. Maybe Dva. But I want to know this shit. I dont want him saying it was a gambit and go "oh, I tried to bait the nk and guarded x instead of y". He's a 2-shot, so he says, so I want him to make it count.

(i'm always a possible lynch
side effects of not being that good at the game)

[Clemency]

i feel like i need to clarify the timing behind my claim a little

i claimed because two people in the game were hypothetically saying i wasnt vt, which is true, and i'm not exactly the most townread player in this game, so

i wanted to avoid a situation where i'd have to cc
seeing as nobody else has claimed a protective role, my logic seems sound to me

Explain the bolded to me like I'm 5. How is it better play to not let scum fake claim and CC them? And why would you care if anyone else claimed anything if your claim is true?

i'm aware of the detriment my playstyle brings to the town, which makes my game philosophy heavily rely on self-preservation for the sake of not having town lynch town
i also didnt wanna be the guy making the cc because with my current position in the game, i feel it'd be hard to believe me over the other person's claim
in my eyes it was better to get out there while the air was still clear

[Elsa Jay]

Oh, so your like how I was/am but worse.
