Infinity hasn't done much of anything to redeem the Momo slot, but Chaos did. His few posts were high-content and also critical of Hans in a way that Hans really didn't need. Chaos is an experienced enough player to make me a bit wary of this, bit at any rate if he's scum he's probably Mafia whereas, as Grey has pointed out, we should be aiming to catch the other wolf right now.
Grey, I'm pretty sure you're town. The case you're making against me is one I can't rebut since it's all about my predecessor's interactions with a dead player, so I'm just going to ignore it. How do you feel about Spade?-

1. I feel like null is the most suspicious possible position you can have on a player who flipped scum. It says "waiting to see which way I need to go on this."In post 447, Spade_Ace wrote:Hans: NULL/Town Lean
To me, he looks like a townie who says scummy stuff. A townie who is concerned about other's perception of himself and worried that others might scumread him. Can relate to it. He is quite open about his thought process. I doubt whether scum would flipflop so eaily especially when pressurized by someone else. Him defending Cake 381, also seems town indicative. It will be worrisome only if he has done something similar as Scum. Haven't read the game that Lucaa posted.
2. I really find it strange how he's taking Hans' most suspicious behaviors (flip-flopping under external pressure and fear of being scumread) and turning it into something scumwouldn'tdo.
I know it's hard to answer this now, Spade, but what about Hans' flip-flopping struck you as townish? You said "I doubt whether scum would do that" but why not?-

Not totally satisfied with Spade's response, but I'm not sure what else to ask, so I'm going to try something else right now.
There are two places we should be looking to narrow down the wolf list:
1. The Hans wagon. I highly doubt a wolf bused their only partner on day 1 of a 13-player multiball game.In post 862, davesaz wrote:Votecount 1.5
Superhans (7) : ChaosOmega, Lil Uzi Vert, Riley Cake, -Grey-, BTD6_maker, Quick Transcendence, lucca261 (Lynch)
ChaosOmega (2) : chilledtea, Superhans
-Grey- (1) : Frederick E Campbell
Spade_Ace (1) : mattblackguy
Lil Uzi Vert (1) : Hiraki
Quick Transcendence (1) : Spade_Ace
Not voting: None- ChaosOmega, Lil Uzi Vert, Riley Cake, -Grey-, and BTD6_maker are definitely not wolves.
- lucca261 could yet be a wolf since his vote came after Hans' confession. (Not saying I particularly suspect lucca, just that this in particulardoes not rule him out.) Note that lucca himself pointed out that we should rule out people on the Hans wagon, but included himself on the clear list.
Hans isn't going to put his buddy as top-tier town or bottom tier scum. So his buddy is one of {Spade, ChilledTea, QT, BTD, Lucca, Grey, Fred, PimHel}.In post 441, Superhans wrote:Town read so far excluding Fred and PimHel.
I flip flopped completely on QT and Spade.
Null read on QT and Chilled Tea.
Town lean on Spade (feel free to grate and bait me for this one).
{LUV, Matt, Riley}
{Spade}
{Chilled Tea, QT}
{BTD6, Lucca, Grey}
{Omega}- QT is dead.
- Grey and BTD are ruled out by being on the Hans wagon.
- ChilledTea is me.
For now,
VOTE: Spade_Ace“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

It's not guaranteed and it does happen, but most scum players are worried it will look bad to hard-townread a teammate, and prefer to give a more noncommittal kinda-town read.In post 935, Infinity 324 wrote:Why wouldn't scum put their buddy in the top tier if the idea is never to bus?
At any rate, Uzi and Riley were on the Hans wagon so this would only add Matt (Aristophanes) to my list. I have no problem keeping an open mind to that possibility. Chaos/Momo/Infinity is still an unlikely wolf though.
Pedit:Grey, that's an interesting argument but it seems a bit too blatant even for a poor player. I would never in a million years make a post like that in his position if Pimel/Hiraki were my buddy.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Grey, I'm reading through Lucca's ISO and I'm really not seeing what you're seeing. His pushes on Hans start early, make sense, don't seem to betray any special knowledge, and he never really softens that read so much as he moves on to another wagon for a while so as to actually be doing something.
If I had to look for something to scumread there I'd say the earliest posts directed at Hans seem like they could be read as coaching and trying to warn Hans off of his scummy behavior, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to suspect him by itself.
Do you care to enlighten us?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

@Spade: Well, your answer wasn'tawful,it just doesn't make me feel a lot better about your slot.
1 isn't a suspicious response, but it does kind of miss the point. I don't care whether your stated read on Hans was dead-null or null-townish, it's equally bad either way.In post 915, Spade_Ace wrote:1. In case you missed it. It was NULL/town Lean that is my read of him was between a neutral and town read.
2. His behavior, like 'changing votes multiple times when questioned' is something that is expected from a newbie scum playing their first game. Hans's level is "Mafia Scum", which means that he was experienced enough to know that inconsistent behavior would make him look scummy. I felt he was 'too scummy to be scum'. Also he was replying to questions immediately in real time, which seemed coming from someone with an open thought process.
2 is a plausible reasoning process (re. Hans being too experienced to make those mistakes), but I think most of us know that a lot of players just never learn how to scum. I don't want to belabor the point (we already have Hans' flip, why argue about it) but did you at least consider the hypothesis "Hans really is that bad" before dismissing it based on his experience?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Making note of this so I don't forget:In post 979, -Grey- wrote:Keep up this garbage with one more fucking post and I WILL scumread you.In post 980, Hiraki wrote:953 implies obsolete in time rather than in substance. But I'm glad that you could've explained that in a normal fashion and read as hard as you want everyone to read your posts so that this was clarified.
If Hiraki is scum then this was a pretty gutsy response, to do exactly what Grey threatened to scumread him for. I wouldn't expect a scum player to want to keep an interaction going that was bringing him negative attention like this.In post 981, -Grey- wrote:Reading the fucking GAME would have told you I moved on.
Fuck it, you're mafia.

It'smore likelythat he did it because he's not scum.
I mean, I don't see belaboring a point as scummy anyway, so I think the scumread is undeserved in the first place.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Supposedly remarking negatively on your predecessor upon replacing in is a scumtell. Or, depending on who you ask, indicating that you have paid significant attention to your predecessor's posts at all.In post 1042, Kop wrote:Not familiar with [the Amished] tell, so you'll need to expand on it.
It doesn't work, and Grey should be embarrassed for bringing it up.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

I'm still sort of half-following-along, just wanted to pop in and say:- Granted that I'm not the target, I'm not seeing the toxicity in Spade's posts that Hiraki is.
- I dofeel like Hiraki and Spade are reading one another as uncharitably as possible. In particular I feel like all of Hiraki's "clarifying" looks a lot like question-dodging (though I'm pretty sure he's not a wolf so there's no reason to pursue this in detail today).

All right, need to get my head back into this game now. Sometime today (possibly tonight) I'll start doing analyses of Hans' interactions with the other players I mentioned before. I suspect it'll just come down to "it's probably either Spade or Kop" which it looks like we've all figured out already, but it's still worth being thorough.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

So here's the first in a series of posts about associatives between Hans and various suspects, and let me tell you, it's not impressive at all.
Associatives between Superhans and Pimhel/Hiraki
There aren't any.
Pimhel was barely in the game, and nothing Hiraki said about Hans is meaningful since it was all after Hans had flat-out confessed.
Hans mentioned PimHel twice, both regarding his inactivity:In post 701, Superhans wrote:PimHel has made two posts. Don't waste D1. Don't act like there is an y inevitibility because it'll allow player to get away with doing nothing.
Neither of these seems important. You could try and argue something like "Hans was trying to give his buddy a chance to catch up," but why? If anything it would be in wolf!Hiraki's favor for the day to end quickly and save him from taking a position on his buddy's wagon. Given the circumstances I'd say Hans was more likely just taking any opportunity to ask for an extension in hopes that a bigger wagon would appear.In post 777, Superhans wrote:
@MOD
Can we have 24 hours so that Hiraki can catch up?
Pimel made literally 2 posts
Hiraki did write his day 1 catchup posts in a way that suggested he had missed Hans' confession, but this is weak evidence at best.
Conclusion:I see no reason to suspect Hiraki in particular of being a wolf.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Likewise nothing to say about Hans and Fred/Darklyn (except for "where's Darklyn and why hasn't he been replaced yet"). Hans only even mentions Fred twice, once to say he's not included in his readlist and once in the context of a push on QT:In post 536, Superhans wrote:hi QT
like your scum push on Frederick and on Omega.
What about your read on Spades? Why from scum to null?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

What the...?In post 1237, -Grey- wrote:If Spade is scum, he's probably mafia.
I feel better about Hiraki as a Hans partner.
Although... it wouldn't be terrible to hit mafia today to bring their numbers down, either.
VOTE: Spade
Firstly, if you think Hiraki is Hans' partner you should be voting him, period. We need to stop the nightkills first.
Secondly, where is this opinion coming from? What has Hiraki done to make you think wolf?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

On second thought hitting mafia is still a net plus, though wolf is preferable. Still want an explanation of the read, though.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Not sure I buy Grey's reasoning; at least, I've never seen a no-kill happen just because scum failed to get in a kill on time. I think it's more likely the wolf is deliberately no-killing to delay losing to the Mafia and give the town more chances to catch them, which would suggest the wolf thinks he has a better chance of winning this way, i.e. that he thinks we're more likely to lynch two Mafia before we lynch him. This makes me want to look more closely at players who have been widely townread or just not really scrutinized.
That said,
VOTE: Not_Mafia
Not like we're lynching anyone else today, so we might as well get it over with.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

This is actually a good question (no offense to Ari). Technically the first time was on Riley Cake, so it's the slot Mafia is interested in, not the player. But what about it?In post 1287, Aristophanes wrote:Why do they want me dead so badly when I ain't done shit??“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

I think NM is probably scum for the quickhammer (pending a quick meta dive), but this pings me. It feels like it's preparing to argue tomorrow that lynching NM was righteous even if he flips town.In post 1315, -Grey- wrote:Also, if NM is going to play like scum, I'm going to treat him like Scum.
There is no town motivation whatsoever in only posting to quick-hammer wagons, and no excuses acceptable for defending it.
Given that your last major contribution to this game was strongarming a lynch on Kop while patting yourself on the back for so cleverly rooting him out, I think you should actually make this case if you want anyone to listen to it.-Grey- wrote:I don't give a fuck what you want.

I don't think NM is a werewolf. If he is, his behavior is borderline game-throwing. He's either Mafia or town (probably Mafia).
I don't understand why anyone is interested in voting someone other than NM right now. If we lynch a non-Mafia slot today, tomorrow is lylo. Do you really want him around for that?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Give me the case on Hiraki and maybe I'll consider it. Don't just keep saying how totally scum he is.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

I don't see how this relates to anything I said, or how it relates to your argument below.In post 1368, BTD6_maker wrote:The simple flaw in this is that Not Mafia is not automatically Mafia.
I didn't say he's automatically Mafia. What I said was, if it comes down to lylo I'm going to want him lynched anyway, and since he's a hindrance there's no reason to lynch him later as opposed to now.
This was hard to pick apart, but I think what you're saying is this:In post 1368, BTD6_maker wrote:Suppose WW killed a Townie. Then today would be LyLo for Mafia. On the other hand, suppose WW killed Mafia. Then it would be much worse for Mafia. While I am not saying that it is impossible, I am saying that it is unlikely that Mafia wanted to risk having 1 Mafia and 2 non-Mafia in the list, probably opting for 3 non-Mafia. I think that if Not Mafia is indeed Mafia, it means that they thought WW would think that no Mafia were on the list, as if WW thought that Mafia were on the list they are likely to think that it is Not Mafia and kill there, and I think that given Not Mafia's quickhammer it is likely that WW thought Not Mafia was Mafia. (Indeed, many players at the moment think this).- The Mafia would only put a mafioso on the list if they were confident that person wouldn't actually be killed.
- The Werewolves would prefer to kill a mafioso over a townie.
- By 2, one would expect the wolf to kill the scummiest person on the list.
- By 1 and 3, the Mafia wouldn't put a mafioso as the scummiest person on the list.
- But Not_Mafia isthe scummiest person on the list.
- By 4 and 5, Not_Mafia isn't mafia.
ifsaid mafioso were doomed anyway, and it's at least plausible that they thought NM was doomed anyway after yesterday. I don't really have another objection other than the typical rubbish "but what if that's what theywantyou to think," but something just feels unconvincing about this.
Then I guess my experience doesn't match yours, because in my experience level of engagement is in general not alignment-indicative. (It may be indicative on a player-to-player basis, but there it can go either way depending on the player.)In post 1368, BTD6_maker wrote:One other point I would like to mention is that if Not Mafia were Mafia they would likely be more involved in the game, trying to do a lot more than two quickhammers and nothing else. Two quickhammers and no other content is not something that I would expect from anyone engaged in the game, and from my experience Mafia try to be engaged in the game.
This is fair, but the problem with NM is not primarily the lack of content.In post 1368, BTD6_maker wrote:No content from a slot is anti-Town, in that it lowers Town's chances. This does not in any way make it scummy. For it to be scummy, it has to be more likely to be done by scum than Town. In my experience this is not the case.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

How long does a slot have to do nothing for you to become comfortable lynching it?In post 1350, Infinity 324 wrote:I don't think n_m's slot has done almost anything AI, and I only have him as scum based on PoE, so I'm not really comfortable lynching him yet.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

@Mod I'll be V/LA Friday thru Tuesday.Probably not completely inactive but I'll be out of town and probably pretty busy.
I want to keep hyping up the NM wagon, but if "he shows zero interest in catching scum and quickhammered two days in a row" doesn't sell it, I don't know what else I can say.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Hmm, can anyone with NM meta say whether he's the type to take refuge in audacity as scum?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Not quite what I asked... I mean does he try to be read as "too scummy to be scum."“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Why would you tip your hand like this?In post 1459, -Grey- wrote:Nope, and this is a town-sided question considering only WW has a night action.
If anyone objects, guess who we'll lynch.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Why is wolf less plausible than Mafia?In post 1474, -Grey- wrote:Mafia has day talk, so I'll give you three guesses where I'd have complained if I was Mafia, and I fucking dare you to try and call me a wolf.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Anyway, my three guesses are:- in public, if you didn't want the wolf to reveal himself
- in the Mafia thread, if you did want the wolf to reveal himself (except you would say "if someone objects they might be the wolf")
- directly to the mod, if you were actually just concerned about fairness
Pedit:Does anyone deny that -Grey- is the ONLY reason Hans was lynched? I wasn't there.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

UNVOTE: Not_Mafia
Getting cold feet on this, and if we're wrong we could potentially lose overnight. I want to review his meta for myself instead of taking someone's word for it. I only had one game with him before and he was a d1 mislynch there.
Actually, given that we're possibly in mylo depending on what happens tonight, should we consider no-lynching?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Just noticed something while rereading Grey.
I think he and Hiraki are Mafia together.
VOTE: -Grey-
Wall of explanation incoming when I have the chance.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Swamped today and on a plane later but I will find time to write up my case.
Ari, I made a new account because everyone said the old name was a pain to type (which it was), and also it was breaking automatic vote counters.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

I would be more likely to believe this if the list were three all-new people.In post 1546, Not_Mafia wrote:Thinking the hit list last night was the mafia team, mafia knew Wolf couldn't kill and all 3 haven't done much, can see them nominating themselves as WIFOM, all 3 yesterday were content to just go with the flow and did nothing to direct the game, which tells me the status quo of the game is working for them right now
If we think there's mafia on that list, it's probably whichever of Hiraki or Uzi looks towniest. Which I guess is Uzi. But I feel kind of dumb being suspicious of someone for looking towny.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Ari, explain how the wolf can meet their win condition by claiming, because I'm not seeing it.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

To be fair, I didwantto be on the Spade wagon, I just wanted to resolve my concerns about Grey jumping on there first.
(Incidentally that was what led me to think of a Grey/Hiraki team: Grey's jumping back and forth between "Hiraki is probably mafia, but let's lynch the wolf" and "Hiraki is probably the wolf, but let's lynch mafia.")“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Also I'm pretty much out of ideas on who to lynch. Need to do some heavy rereading, starting with Hiraki and Uzi.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Spoiler: PimHel/Hiraki's voting record
Spoiler: Lil Uzi Vert's voting record
I want to review Hiraki's day 2 progression more closely.
Uzi, why did you vote for Grey yesterday?“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

Uzi, I asked you a question and you've been on MS since.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

This is a really laid-back attitude to have at lylo.In post 1585, Hiraki wrote:I'm ok with Lil Uzi today. I haven't done my full due diligence but he's contributed nothing to the gamestate today.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Is too lazy to be scum a thing? Because I feel like Uzi is too lazy to be scum.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

I don't think Hiraki can be mafia.- I'm town.
- Aristophanes isn't mafia.
- Hiraki and Infinity 324 aren't mafia together (they are trying to lynch one another today).
- Hiraki and Not_Mafia aren't mafia together (Hiraki put NM at L-1 yesterday).
This means three of {Infinity 324, Not_Mafia, Lil Uzi Vert, BTD6_maker} are mafia.
BTD or possibly Uzi is the townie/wolf. The other two are definitely mafia.
VOTE: Infinity 324“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

You don't bus someone by waiting three three days and then putting their wagon to L-1 after it's already stagnated. If scum!Hiraki wanted to bus scum!NM, he'd have done it right out of the gate on d4.In post 1598, Infinity 324 wrote:You make the assumption that scum wouldn't bus, which I disagree with. Scum bus all the time in lylo even when they shouldn't.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Infinity's counterpoints really moved me. I'm glad he talked me out of that terrible case on him.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Eh, I think you get a pass since you were evil anyway. For what it's worth I would never have guessed you for the wolf. If that N_M wagon had gone through it would have been anyone's game.
I liked this setup, it really kept me engaged. Even at the end I never felt like we could just coast to victory.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.
