I've read the last five pages or so. If Trivium isn't scum, that's gonna suck because he's not going to be any help. I don't know yet why Darklyn was a favorite for lynch, but I could live with voting Contradiction from his intro until I find out.

Gerryoat is seems different. More active/adversarial than last game I played with him.

The way I see it, there are two primary possibilities, in roughly equal measure, if taken out of the context of the slot.

1) he's scum. He's banking on the soft claim to avert a wagon elsewhere. Once "safe", he'll ignore his own soft until it becomes convenient. Since his counterwagonite is the most likely person to reference it later, he can play the stalwart and accuse them of fishing. More than anything, he gets to enjoy a breather because there are plenty other lunchables hanging out who haven't claimed anything.

2) he's town, and he's placing his own convenience above the win condition. He was going to have to put in some decent effort to hop out of the collective scum pool. Rather than do that work, he chose the lazy way out.

If you're town, repeating it over and over is the absolutely least productive way to identify yourself as town. I try to be transparent, so people know where I stand (unless I have motive not to, in which case, I'll say so). You can call it what you want.

Do something useful. Tell me, who is my scum buddy, and how did I set them up?

Trivium, you're taking a walk on the moon regardless of your alignment.

Because what's this now? Saying Gerry
isn't
acting like I've seen him act as town is scummy to you because you think he's scum? Shall I link you to a game?

Well, the fact that you haven't posted any kind of legitimate reasoning for that read makes it more likely you're town, so I guess I have all I really need out of you. (Though I don't get why you as town would want somebody else to elaborate on their scumread of you) again, projectmatt anyone? Is he getting replaced? I really want to see more from that slot.
I want to see the reasoning behind the scumread. Without an investigative result or a flip, I don't know anyone's alignment but my own. With an anchor in myself, I can judge other players' reasons for their reads on my slot better than I can judge reads on others. (Not that I don't like to probe for meaning in reads on others, too, if for nothing else but reference after a flip)

My reason for leaning scum on you is multifold (and in no particular order). 1) In my experience, people using the reasoning style you display will usually prefer to have someone to bounce ideas around with. In reading the thread, I've seen no attempts on your part to collaborate. It suggests you don't want to do much solving. 2) You flipped from voting me, to voting someone else, and scumreading me by proxy, to town reading me. You did this far too quickly for comfort. 3) You seem to prefer to antagonize thin air. It looks more like someone searching for lynchbait than someone hunting scum.

I realize these are mostly intuitive reasons, but again, you're only vying for #2 right now. Contradiction remains #1, as the BP claim is a pretty solid goto for scum. I'll provide updates as reads progress (I haven't even attempted to read everyone yet.. but this thread is/was in desperate need of activity, so I started with what stood out the most).

You literally said he was either town or mafia lol
I was attempting to explore the possible motives for his decision as either town or scum. If all I wanted to say was "he's either town or scum", then that's all I would have said.

Gerryoat is seems different. More active/adversarial than last game I played with him.

VOTE: Contradiction
Everything in this post is about "trying to fit in" (scum), as opposed to "lynching mafia" (town).

Firstly,
boring's vote is basically designed not to be taken seriously. He openly placed his vote somewhere despite clearly not having caught up with the game and acknowledging that he hasn't read Darklyn's ISO.

Secondly,
look at some of the conclusions he draws over the past 5 pages. All are non-alignment indicative and useless:
If Trivium isn't scum, that's gonna suck because he's not going to be any help.
...I could live with voting Contradiction from his intro until I find out.
Gerryoat is seems different. More active/adversarial than last game I played with him.
None of these observations discuss at all what alignment these players could be. They are empty.


Lastly,
he's not lynching Contradiction because he's suspicious of that slot. He's lynching him for all the other reasons. Again:
...I could live with voting Contradiction from his intro until I find out.
Note the lack of "I'm suspicious of Contradiction, that's why I'm voting him", or "Contradiction is scummy". It's just "I can live with voting Contradiction from his intro that I'm going to tell you nothing about." He doesn't draw alignment indicative conclusions. He just dangles some bullshit tell out there and hopes that other people will draw their own conclusions.

This post was entirely designed to vomit words out there. There is no intent to provide useful information, lynch mafia, or anything helpful to town. Ergo, boring is mafia, acting like he's contributing, without actually contributing.
Ouch. Okay, point taken. I can't seem to strike a balance between obv. town and scummy with my town game, apparently. I like your analysis, and it makes sense except for my knowledge that your conclusion is wrong. Basically, if it was anyone but me, you'd have me convinced. It certainly stands out as solid town.

If I do end up earning my first mislynch over my general intro, I'd appreciate some pointers when the game is over (pm is fine).

Oh, and I'm a chick.

So in my defense, my evidently awful posts have drummed up some activity. Also, between my initial posts and the reaming I just got, I did clarify that I scum read Contradiction, scum lean Trivium, and scum-suspect Gerry based on past experience.

Though, I've slept on it, and I'd like to wait on Trivium. I think I might have been a little biased.

Also, I've taken it as a given that Dunnstral is town, but I haven't actually given his alignment much thought.

Hapahauli, on first impression, your ass-chewing seems townie. I think your other omissions (I can elaborate better when I'm not phone-posting) were just my poor communication than anything deliberately manipulative on your part.

I have a townie impression of Juri and Momo. I haven't looked at the rest too hard.

P-edit. Fair enough, gerryoat

You would have to burn me alive before I would lynch momo without an investigative role telling me otherwise, but momo is baaaaad town. If we're all sane here, we shouldn't be focusing on him and I'm getting suspicious that somebody just used him as a distraction.
Why is Momo town? And why bad town, at that? I recently witnessed him attempt a pretty clever gambit as scum in another game, so I'm not sure why we should write him off as bad anything.

Trivium and everyone else has caught on to this.

WARNING: self meta
It would stand to reason that you'd have something to gain from playing up the "bad town" reputation, if you were scum.

Further, your reason for keeping your vote on Contradiction is worrisome. You have evidence that he is ThinkBig (someone I apparently read as scummy no matter what), so you have no reason to think he's faking being an alt. So "bad town" would serve as a good excuse to vote and keep your vote on lynchbait, while not being held accountable for your choices. If he's your buddy, then you have a discreditable reason to vote him and be ignored. If he's town, you have a moony reason to vote him and not look scummy when he flips town (assuming he gets lynched).

Town pjm probably wouldn't be so confident with a those reads. Transcend also ended up being town, and even with pjm's style, (and it could just be his style) I'm not totally sold that he didn't know transcend was town here, it would make sense for him to.
Mulling all of this over in my head, I guess I'd be ok with voting pjm if it came down to it, because I've been wrong about things like this before, especially going back on myself in the exact way that I am now. If transcend is still reading this game, he'll know what I'm talking about.

I just realized that there must be a scum in Hapahauli, Impoetic, Contradiction, and Dunnstral.

They are the unconfirmed town on Frogger's lynch. Throw me in if you must because Crash was on it.

I think Hapa's response to my response was the clincher for him being my town read. He could have kept tunneling pretty easily.

That narrows my POE down to Dunnstral, Impoetic, and Contradiction.

I can't say I've given Juri much thought, and that's concerning, I'll admit. I'll read in more detail over the weekend. But I'd honestly rather focus my attention on the VCA scum pool. It's narrower, and therefore more likely to produce scum.

If Titus/impoetic slot isn't scum you're probably scum for pushing this

either way it's bad
It makes a ton of sense to me that if a townie was lynched, at least one scum was on the wagon. Since one was another confirmed town, and another was my predecessor, it narrows the potential scum pool considerably, from my point of view.

Can you tell me why it's bad, or why you think it makes me scum?

I'm a little leery of your timing, by the way. I come up with this hypothesis, and suddenly I'm "moderately scummy" and "probably scum for pushing this". What's unsound about it?

I don't understand this
I was just openly considering the slot along with a few others, and Dunnstral basically said the only acceptable vote in my pool was that slot. So you'd have two potential "approvals" with the vote.

You were gearing up to be the main wagon, and then you call out the lack of voters and follow it by a vote with a recent scummy mention.

It looks like someone trying to start a viable counter wagon.

The reason I haven't voted the slot yet also plays into my concern with the timing. See, Impoetic feels scummy in her ISO, but she had a few non-game-related posts that were boldly ignorant, which makes me question whether it was her personality/playstyle that bothered me in particular.

Her replacement gives us a fresh chance to read her slot sans personality, but you voted the slot before Titus actually did anything. Unless you were super sure (which you've since admitted you're not), it makes no sense for town to vote a replacement slot during the replacement period.

It was just all-around suspicious timing.

I dunno, I'd think she'd be more accommodating if she was scum. Either way, it seems like a predominantly NAI stance to me. Unless she only does this as scum or something (which I doubt).

I'm pretty comfortable with Juri.

Unless I'm missing something, her reactions to her wagon seem unnatural for town. More like scum who doesn't have access to her partners for advice, and doesn't want to screw things up for them on her way out.

I'm not sure about Titus yet. I'm not sure about Dunnstral yet. I'm not sure about Mathblade yet.

I can't help but think that if Hapahauli was dead wrong about everyone, scum would have kept him alive to make more wrong, but convincing cases.

VOTE: TheFuzzylogic99

Of the people yesterday who were okay with lynching Fuzzy, Hapa was by far the towniest and most convincing.

p-p-edit: is it impossible for impoetic to have improved her scum game to look like her town game? Just curious.

Also, I just looked up the word "weeb", and it's been added to my lexicon.

I guess I could lynch projectmatt too.

If he was town and actually so unable to participate, I think he'd have subbed out already. Rather, he's very minimally avoided replacement several times. That's more likely scum slank, I think.

Can anyone identify their town reads at this point?

I get that Gerry is TRing Titus's slot, and I can only assume that Dunn is TRing Fuzzy.

Do you two have any others? Does anyone have any others?

For my part, my closest TR is Trivium because he's been true to himself throughout the game. But I am wearing more tinfoil than I'd like. He's had several scummy moments (I've already mentioned a few). I guess I'm saying he's prob. town, but I can't bring myself to trust him.

Your interactions with each other have been strange to me. You've been neutral toward each other, despite having opposite reads. For example, over this Titus thing, he hasn't pushed at you for your finally-obstinate vote*, and you've given him space with his high-scum-potential** reason for refusing to vote your strong scum read.

*The scum slip/scummy behavior you identified as scum in Impoetic wasn't enough for you to stick with the read earlier in the game. It's something that could be easily called out.

**Gerry leaves himself lots of wiggle-room. If Titus is scum, he can pretend to be scandalized by the revelation. If Titus is town, he can go after those who pushed her. It's a good place to sit as scum.

They decided I hammerred here and hammerred in some other scumgame that I must be scum here. Then, they want to lynch anyone who TRs me (technically Gerry TRs Impoetic), so Math came in determined to lynch me and anyone who disagrees with them.

That type of mindset "agree or scum" is anti-town.
I'm really not trying to be glib, but does MathBlade play with any other mindset? What's different about it this game?

Example: You haven't provided a single concrete read yet are hypothesizing about what scum would do.
How is that scummy? It's the only way I know how to solve things. Take three people with the same role and they'll do three different things. Because nearly all actions, opinions, and votes can be reduced to "NAI". Motive that holds the key to someone's alignment. So it's motive that I try to bore down to. I won't pretend I'm great at it, but I've done alright for myself from time to time.

As for concrete reads, I've tried to be transparent this game about my thought process, in the hopes of inviting some kind of conversation with players. That is, when I'm not doing something that's hindered by transparency. Either way, I'm a collaborative thinker. It's how I "town". You, of course, see fit to shut it down with responses like:

Do you think both could be scum?

Also, do you think what you saw of Impoetic is enough to override anything Titus might do? Because here are my concerns: I've played several games with her as town (never scum) and she has an energy about her. She is charismatic, active, collaborative, and seems to develop strong reads quickly. She usually socially controls the core of the game, and while I rarely agree with her, she clearly strives to take on the role of a positive town leader.

She's been very flat here. She's not even fighting her wagon. I've never seen her sub into a game before either, but I doubt she'd be willing to sub and do nothing as a general MO.

I also recall her scum-reading policy-lynch-proposals. She didn't actually propose policy-lynching MathBlade, but she definitely seemed open to it -- something I'd not expect.

If we believe them even remotely, you have a point. But that's why scum like to claim BP. It's unverifiable, and intimidates town away from the slot. It was claimed in just about the scumiest way possible. What took me off the slot was the knowledge that ThinkBig always seems scummy to me, majorly. That, and Momo sticking with his vote for a really hollow reason. It made me think I might be barking up the wrong tree.

Now with MathBlade in the slot, I still don't know what to think. Math plays a crazy town, so I can only assume her scum game is saner.

@IAlwaysWinSometimes (heretoafter abbreviated to "IAWS") - You're right. Even if MathBlade is scum, there are at least two other scum to hunt.

My gut has been screaming "Gerryoat is scum" since I subbed in.

I keep waffling on Titus, Fuzzy, and Momo in my head. I want to set Dunn aside today because I just don't want to scum read him. That's ignoring projectmatt, which I don't want to do. His slot could definitely be scum.

Spoiler:
I need a way to narrow things down without being wrong. I'm not good at being confident when I have nothing concrete to back up my read. (I don't understand how everyone else does it).

I've read through the dead townie ISOs all more than once. Transcend's was a dissociative experience. Jaeread was more constant, but I know he can really bark up the wrong tree sometimes. Hapahauli was awesome, except for also barking up the wrong tree.

Juri and Frogger's lynches, I think, are the best place to start. Juri really felt like caught scum, and the fact that she "breadcrumbed" mafia roleblocker seemed to clinch it. But with a claim like hers, you'd think more people would have protested it. It makes me think that those who casually joined the wagon (two on, one off?) are most likely scum.

Also, looking at the actual kills, they seemed to be based on threat-potential rather than actual threat because neither were clear threats to anyone in particular.

Honestly, I think I want to see who's with me here.

What could scum gain from MathBlade's behavior? Why go through the effort of alientating the towniest player in the game? Why pick me as a tunnel, either? There were plenty of lower-hanging fruit around. It's a townie effort, even if it's terrible.

In scum's place, I'd push and pull to get town!Math to 3-way lylo with me, you (if you're not scum), or apparently IAWS.

Either way, unless my read on IAWS is dead wrong, this behavior coming from town!Math is more valuable to the scum team than if it's coming from scum!Math.

If Math was scum here, they'd gain way more from bussing. It would calm the game down to even less activity, and give them town credit.

Am I missing something?

Math hates bussing unless they stage it hard core by planning.
I meant an involuntary bussing as a liability. Then again, I know I've refrained from bussing an awful buddy in an effort to be a team player. I dunno. I can't pretend I'll be super-sorry to see MathBlade lynched, but I'm not planning to participate in it today. I'm actually okay with us all voting Gerryoat, to be honest.

To put more into the read, a part of my problem is the EM camaraderie he throws in. I have no problem with the fact that it exists. It's how he's using it. It's most obvious in that he's locked in calling you town because he developed a lame hard read on Impoetic. He did similar things with other members. Like just assuming Dunn is wrong-town, when there should be at least a twinkle of a scum-suspicion. And still these are reads that he can't really be held accpuntable for, and they seem designed to ingratiate himself to anyone with a lot of potential meta on him.

I'll share more, as thoughts coagulate.

Welcome, DeltaW, let us know if you get lost.

Because IAWS called me actual BP like IAWS had inside knowledge that I am telling the truth which makes IAWS likely scum.

My town read on IAWS just took a huge nosedive. Gerry is looking slightly better. Math has a decent reason to SR me, I suppose. Still probably town, unfortunately. Delta is still a suspicious slot. I still don't like Fuzzy either.

I don't see Math's SR of me letting up. If Math is really BP, then me showing up at LYLO with them will mean a town auto-loss.

I think we need to speed-lynch me so Math has a chance of not fucking up LYLO. I know it's bad form for townies to self-vote, but I think mechanically, one of us absolutely has to go, and now's our only shot.

Can you describe what was particularly wrong with my idea? I mean, we know Math is going to keep gunning for me no matter what. We know Math is very likely town because they're incredibly unlikely to have staged all that with Titus. So unless we lynch Math, their idee fixe will cause us to lose in a LYLO. It's better to lynch me today.

Look at the player list. We have lurksacks, IAWS, and you (sorry, but you're still very lunchable). How is Math a likely lynch? Math is only tempting as policy.

If you think I'm town, then don't vote me, but even if Math is the only person scum reading me, it's very obvious that town loses the game if we end up in a 3-way LYLO. I'd rather be a NK, but there's no way to guarantee that. My vote stays on me unless you need me to hammer someone scummy.

You could say that about any wrong read at this point. I'm scumreading you based on a multitude of things. I'll list them out if you like but I don't see how you are not scum. If you are then IAWS is almost certainly scum. SOMEONE had to be trying to save Titus when that hammer was freaking atrocious and a repeat of the Open game.
Listing the reasons you think I'm scum will be an exercise in futility for both of us, unless you really believe yourself open to changing your mind, or you think it will convince the rest of the players to vote me.

So tell me why I'd stick my neck out. I don't think I've ever defended a buddy when they are taking heat, so why start here and now... for Titus of all people?

I was arguing that not reading the game is NAI because people in this game have been jumping on the subins. I realize it's because we're starved for input, but it was getting annoying. It had less to do with Titus, and more to do with principle.

Shit, I'm the one who pointed out her drastically different demeanour. I'm the one who pointed out she couldn't have been blocked by Juri. ... also Dunnstral's "get with the program" comment makes a lot more sense now.

Anyway, similarly, why would she point a straight line to her buddy as she's facing a lynch? You think she's just idiotic like that? And why would I do anything to discredit her claim, if that was our plan?

Seriously Math, if you'd get our head out of your ass for like 2 seconds, I wouldn't have to be sitting here with a vote on myself.

Whenever Titus was outed scum she likes to make her buddies look as townie as possible.

It wasn't a conscious "OMG I HAVE TO SAVE TITUS NOW" it's more a "WTF Titus is getting scumread for dumb reasons" bit.

Titus knew I wasn't letting go. Titus knew Dunnstral wasn't. At that point it's about making the scumbuddies look townie.
And saying she had a fake read on me after she was "outted scum" is going to make me look townie, hmm?

I never said I TR Delta. He replaces Projectmatt, who I've not TR at all this game. As for contentless posts, that's par for the course in this game. It doesn't really stand out. Delta has contributed nothing at all, as far as I can tell. About the same as his predecessor. His request for convincing (rather than asking pertinent questions) is more pingy to me than his lack of substance.

Sounds like here you are: "could be genuine" that indicates a waffling. Definitely doesn't indicate a scumread.
It doesn't indicate a town read, either. I wasn't handed a list of who's who when I entered the game. I just know that he's been empty. He could be empty town, but I think there's a good chance he's scum.

I'm never going to be 100% positive about anything. The surest read I have is you, and if you flip scum, I'll owe you an apology. I don't use extreme language, and I'm not irrational enough to believe I know something when all I have is a hunch. If you want to scum read my personal mannerisms, that's on you. Just do us all a favor and lynch me while we can still afford it. My vote hasn't moved, so you only need two others.

We're feeling stuck again. I'd like everyone to humor me with a thought experiment. Let's imagine for a moment that we're coming back on Day 5.

I was lynched Day 4, and flipped
Vanilla Town
.
Mathblade was NK'd, and flipped
1-shot Bulletproof

(we're assuming here that they have a 1-shot strongman).

Who are your top two scum reads?

You were right about Titus. You're wrong about me. We don't know yet which way the fluke lay. Regardless, the point is to play along, and stretch your mind a little. I put in your town flip so that people scum reading you can stretch their minds too. So assuming you and I are both town, who is scum?

Fuzzy, you have a point about Momo. My ranked scum pool is iaws, delta, momo, gerry, and you. I'll be impressed if it's you, and dumbfounded if it's Math.

However, of the five who have chimed in, only you and IAWS don't want IAWS lynched. I hope Momo's replacement will help clarify things. Crossing my fingers for someone rational and communicative.

@mod, what are the rules on subins? Can players ask people to join games, or does that break the first rule of fight club?

Seriously. Math is going to refuse to get on any wagon with me, and they insist on hammering. Sure, the four of us can circumvent her and lynch scum anyway, but it's far, far more probable that we won't be able to pull off a lynch that mafia don't support. That'll put us in a doomed LYLO tomorrow.

If we lynch me, HOPEFULLY Math will step down as dictator, and we can still win this. I know it works the same lynching Math, but BP is more valuable than VT.

I had a moment of doubt about Math because this is so ridiculous.

I took a dive into their scum games, and my saner-hypothesis doesn't look wrong. Math pretends to be reasonable as scum. They appear to collaborate, they pretend to adapt to new information, they even joke around a little.

Feel free to look for yourselves, if you need the grim reassurance. I started with the game in Math's signature, and then looked at the ones they talked about in that game.

I'm saying that I have moments when I struggle to reconcile your antitown behavior and my strong town read of you. I'm making a pretty big sacrifice to mitigate the damage I forsee from your tunnel. During my last big moment of doubt, I did a meta dive into your scum game (since you see fit to brag about it in your signature). It allayed my doubt. I went through all the effort of slogging through a few of your games, so the least I could do was report back to the other players here. (Especially since I'm sure some of them are frustrated/questioning too)

By the way, I looked at that game you linked. The only real similarity I saw, was that you were town and Titus was scum. RC was right. You guys lost because town was voting off people who disagreed with the core group rather than actually scum hunting.

I can't stop waffling between IAWS and Gerry. I don't believe both could be scum, but I also don't believe that both could be town.

IAWS seems the most uncomfortable (awkward) of the two. Gerry's breeziness makes me uneasy.

I lean a little more often on IAWS and here's why: the way he copied Gerry's townread of Titus. Gerry had already been odd enough deciding that Impoetic just had to be town based on her meta from another site. He transferred that town read to Titus, and was very vocal about it.

IAWS subbed in and said the same thing. That Impoetic was obv. town so Titus had to be town. Impoetic wasn't obv. town. She just wasn't. She had a lot of NAI and AtE. Titus had a lot of NAI and AtE. An NAI scum game will get you pretty far (unless it's really different from your town meta). It's what happens when you're trying to be careful. Town isn't careful. That's part of what makes someone obv. town.

Back to the point. One of them was full of shit. The only reason I don't default to Gerry as the genuine one was that at least IAWS made his read appear to be based on this game only (something he could be held more accountable for than another site's meta).

@ IAWS - A lot of your posts today have felt awkward, forced, or oddly timed. It makes you "feel" scummy. That doesn't necessarily mean you must be scum, but it contributes to your tone. This is as opposed to Gerry, who has a smoother (or arguably slimier) tone. He appears more nonchalant. Less awkward = less jumpy = less personally invested in whether or not he gets lynched = a more town tone (according to MS meta). Of course, just ple town can feel awkward, his attitude can be faked (and should be, if you want to get by as scum).

So I guess that line was there to say that in the way of tone you're very different, but in my current tinfoil state, you're more or less equal.

@Math - I think if Gerry's scum, I'd say Momo is my first suspect, and Delta is my second. If IAWS is scum, then it's a toss-up between Fuzzy and Delta. Delta has felt pretty awkward and opportunistic for a good while now, and he keeps pinging me (but not necessarily i connection with others). I just hate committing to scum reads on tone alone because I know a town role-assignment doesn't magically transform someone into some charismatic scum-hunting phenom.

I gave you as straight an answer as I have right now. Gun-to-head will get you nothing (seriously, my utter discomfort with "yes or no" when I don't think "yes" or "no"are wholly accurate is the only thing my husband and I bicker over). I'm not willing to lie for statistics, despite my recent call for answers from others (which, as you saw, I was felxible on to avoid being a hypocrite).

My top scum read is either Gerry or IAWS. You wanted preflips after that, and I gave them. So I guess, either list me twice or put down Gerry and IAWS.

I'm liking Gamma now, but I'm not sure what a scum!Gamma looks like.

Where is Gerry in the vote count? Would I be L-2 or L-1?

Because I keep going around in circles. It occurred to me that the Gerry/IAWS fork was at the root of it, so I shared my thoughts on that. I'm not sure I'll be able to confidently choose between them without more solid evidence, and the only option at this point is one of their flips.

I mean, even when I wrote my Gerry or IAWS thing, I was leaning a little more toward IAWS. Now, I'm back to Gerry a little more. Because Gerry was my gut read upon sub in, and I need to listen to my gut more. I was TRing Trivium before he subbed out.

P-edit: I know! But Titus was also being the most reasonable player in the game. I can't keep hesitating to SR people just because I like them.

Yeah btw that was a nice tiptoe there, giving a "safe if you do safe if you don't" approach.
I believe I called this before Titus's flip, even.

I'm totally cool with bussing, but I would never pick someone to bus by their role. It would be according to the strength of their universal TR.

The only game I swept as scum, we picked off the most competent players (regardless of their reads), and then took over. I assume that's a pretty standard strategy, because our NKs fit the pattern.

I suspect that scum was going for a sweep. Now, they're having to reorganize.

When he first subbed in, he helped liven things up and gave us fresh input. Today, he's just floated along. Trivium accomplished convoluted logic (which I town read) and expressed enthusiasm as we hammered on Juri. So there's that.

@Fuzzy - I'm willing to hammer, but as funny as I think it would be to do in Math's absence, I'm going to wait.

Also, assuming Math and I are town,
we have a guaranteed scum in Gamma, IAWS, and/or Fuzzy
. That makes me happy to narrow down.
gawd, I hope I'm not wrong about Math. A lot is depending on that read.

The only reason I doubted Titus was that she was a gunsmith in another game I was in with her, and it seems like such an obscure role to see the same player get twice.

I don't see why there wouldn't be an investigator here, but I'm burnt-out on guessing which claims to trust, tbh. I'll wait for Math and Gamma's responses, as they have many more games under their belts than I do.

p-edit: I can't imagine it being too smart to hold onto a 1-shot investigation. You might get killed or lynched without getting to use it.

The majority wants your lynch, and I have no evidence that you're town. So even if I did suddenly town read you, it wouldn't matter. But you have to remember that I've had an ongoing gut read on you since I subbed in. You've seemed town on odd spots. I'd buy there being an investigative PR out there, but your claim in particular feels wrong. The more I think about it, the more a
1-shot
cop claim seems like a convenient way to avoid accidentally creating conf. town.

Tl;dr: yes, I scumread you.
