Well my theory of you being scum with DGB is based on PR mechanics (if DGB didn't block the N1 kill, then either scum no-killed N1 or the kill on toog WAS the scum kill and JV fakeclaimed to cover it) so clearly that talk wasn't happening on D1In post 3346, Marky Mark wrote:

Yeah I mean the vig claim seemed initially fairly legit to me as would be risky for scum to claim vig and risk a CC from a town vig.In post 3348, JacksonVirgo wrote:@MarkyPoo, from memory you acted incredibly nonchalant regarding my vigi claim as if you expected the claim due to some form of TMI. I also remember a few weak ass interactions with Piggy that seemed like distancing when I re-read around my claim. I'm not gonna push on the activity thing as holiday's is a fine excuse although I feel it's been relatively all game which is a much different tone and energy whacker than I expect from town!you.
Thinking this through tho, this is slightly flawed logic as if DGB is scum and a DGB/JV scumteam NKed Toog N1 then they would know that there had likely been no vig shot N1 anyway as there was only one death overnight (any vig would have had to not shot or cross-killed toog)
Like I don't inherently SR you individually JV, it is more a case of if DGB is scum here, then you would make most sense as a buddy, as otherwise DGB would've had to no-kill N1, which seems suboptimal for them.
I mean I tried to push piggy for info/reads to help me sort that slot, and I was mild townreading them prior to the DGB guilty on them. I'm not really sure that's distancing, altho I can see how it looks bad that I light TRed them and then they turned out to be scum.
Activity wise, this game has consisted of the last week of work before Christmas, which was a bit crazy, and then the Christmas holidays. I have not been as active as I would've liked, and for that you collectively have my apologies-

This is possible BUT a cross-kill seems unlikely as Toog was being widely SRed D1. Doesn't make sense for scum to NK here imo as its an easy miselim target for them UNLESS they needed to be able to frame it as a vig kill.In post 3357, Noraa wrote:In post 3348, JacksonVirgo wrote:@MarkyPoo
I haven't actually thought about DGB scum = Jacko scum but I think that's actually only half correct bc if DGB scum, the Pig kill wasn't blocked. They used it on Toog. Jacko claimed toog. They might've doublekilled
In this theory, the JV vig fakeclaim is a tool to give you an excuse for the kill N1 while still being able to frame the 'blocked' kill on pig, so that they can be bussed for towncred. There has to be an explanation for the night kill (ie they were vigged) that still lets you pretend to have blocked scum-

Usually VCA is EVERY VC after a scum-flip but eh it's fine I'll just do these. Horsewoman wagon should have at least one scum on it and the only possible scum is DGB and Marky Mark. So they're in a 1v1 or it was a full-town wagon which in post-game would be hilarious. On Piggy's, DGB's vote here solidifes my TR on them I think, if they both were scum bussing each other with a "red-check" I would have assumed they would have tried voting earlier to gain the most cred, but no they voted last which doesn't really seem like it's fueled by an agenda. DGB/Mark/Infinity all on this wagon. Gills was a stupid wagon over Vax and I have to look back to see who it was that saw my logic as to why the chances that Gills was a blocked kill, accepted it as true, yet voted there anyway over Vax. I think it was Markypoo but could be either Noraa/Infinity as well. Mark/Infinity/Noraa. Vax being gone out of all of them is frustrating but what can you do.
Mark is on all three wagons, Infinity and DGB on two, Noraa on one and Vax on nuthin'. I am seeing a Vax/Mark scum-team now to be completely honest. Mark, can you give your thoughts on the VCA as well? Same with anyone tbh.
-Ref the pig wagon, DGB literally came out with a guilty on pig, so the fact they voted later rather than earlier is not a towntell, as others have pointed out
-Guills was an inspired wagon as they were stretching increasingly over the game (eg consider their theory that the masons were w/w late yesterday). I may have been wrong but I don't think the wagon was a poor choice by any stretch, and I was genuinely surprised to see them flip green
--Yeah, I totally take the point that DGB blocking correctly twice in a rowseemed less likely than I initially thought, but it still seemed the liklier option, as Guills' play was scummier than vax's. Less likely than I initially thought != unfeasible
- I don't quite follow your point about "Vax being gone out of all of them"-

Btw - You voted HW for the majority of the day. I went there late D1 as a compromise as I couldn't get my top SR (Toog) elimed (clearly I was miles off on this one too) so it is somewhat rich that you are trying to pin me being on that wagon as me being scum when you'd been parked there yourself. If the DGB/JV theory is true, then that would be 2 scum on the wagon, which I could believeIn post 3349, JacksonVirgo wrote:Horsewoman wagon should have at least one scum on it and the only possible scum is DGB and Marky Mark.

I would have agreed with this at daystart, but JV's reaction does make me wonder if I have touched a nerveIn post 3368, Momrangal wrote:acko/DBG/pig is a paranoia team.
Exactly. DGB/JV being scum would mean that Vax/G yesterday (which at the time seemed to 90% have 1+ scum within them) would actually be T/T, which makes the fact that the G wagon would be all town less unusualIn post 3380, Infinity 324 wrote:All town wagons are possible, there's no particular reason why scum have to be on a town wagon except for probability.

So the quickhammer yesterday really threw me, as I just felt we were starting to get somewhere with that discussion.
I was TRing Noraa before, so fmpov this day comes down to whether their hammer was a genuine mistake (in which case most likely scumteam is DGB/JV) or a calculated play (in which case the scumteam is them and one other).
I'm not sure how noraa is trying to fit me as being a scumbuddy of DGB here - as I explained yesterday, if DGB is scum then JV makes the most sense as a partner, as it would explain the N1 kill. Otherwise, scum no-killed N1, which seems unlikely and suboptimal.-

Theory 1: Noraa + 1 other
-TPRs: 2x mason+, 1x Roleblock, 1x Fruit Vend, 1x N1 vig, 1x PGO = 5/10 townies (4/10 if DGB or JV is the buddy)
-(known) Scum PRs: N/A (If DGB is the buddy then maaaybe there could be a scum RB)
-Scum on HW wagon: 0-1 (0 unless JV or DGB is the partner)
-Scum on pig wagon: 1 (ie any possible partner of Noraa was on the wagon)
-Scum on Guillo wagon: 1-2 (2 unless scum was DGB or JV)
-Scum on Vax wagon: 1-2 (2 unless DGB is the buddy)
-Notes: This theory is mainly based on the quickhammer yesterday, as up to that point I really felt like Noraa was on the same page as me
Theory 2: DGB + JV
-TPRs: 2x mason+, 1x Fruit Vend, 1x PGO = 4/10 townies
-(known) Scum PRs: N/A (altho could speculate that DGB is scum RB)
-Scum on HW wagon: 2
-Scum on pig wagon: 2
-Scum on Guillo wagon: 0 (caveat that in this theory, both leading wagons were on town)
-Scum on Vax wagon: 1
-Notes: If DGB is scum then JV as buddy seems by far the most likely as it would provide an excuse for the N1 kill while still letting DGB set up the 'Guilty' on pig to bus for towncred

The quickhammer was v sus at the end of yesterday from Noraa, but I was still slightly leaning towards DGB/JV being the solve, especially as JV seemed to overeact somewhat when I raised the theory yesterday. After seeing Noraa try to sheep Mom to push DGB/me today rather than owning her suspicions, I am less sure of myself.-

Right, I've had a bit of a read up - the weak visitor claim from JV is certainly a plot twist :O
The DGB/JV Theory
-The weak visitor claim cements the strong associatives between JV and DGB
--I had already explained that if DGB is scum then JV is the likely partner and claimed the N1 vig to explain away the kill on toog, as the alternative is that they No-Killed N1
--But now, added to this, if DGB is scum then they would have to be asetic or JV is lying about their visitor night action
--Looking the other way around, if JV is scum then DGB is probably scum too because otherwise why would JV fight so hard to save a townie in ELO?
-3582/3587 are JV trying to keep their options open for an elim or me or infin today, despite the general consensus seeming to be that either Noraa or DGB is scum. This logic only makes sense if JV feels there is a feasible chance of me and infin being the scumteam, which isn't really a vibe I'm getting from them.
-I can see how JV might feel that Noraa was stretching a bit over DGB not mentioning the gating of its RB role in 2405 as that particular post was relating to the nature of their RB action, but in a more general sense it is weird that they didn't mention the gated side of it until after it came into effect. This has very similar overtones of Flavour Leaf magically reinventing his FN fakeclaim in the recent Bending mini, which 4/5 of the current plist will remember.
The Noraa + 1 other theory
-As others have said, the unvote in 3491 is odd if Noraa believes that DGB must be scum
-I get the flip-flopping of reads in ELO as it is natural to be a little bit paranoid, but repeatedly using Mom's reads as a crutch without justifying them with their own logic is sus here. If you SR me Noraa then why not make a quick 2 minute case with a couple of rough bullet points, so that the rest of the town can decide whether they think you have a point, and I can respond to you? I mean, based on my not-too-great townplay this game, I could literally make a case on myself in 2 minutes, so it ought not to be too hard for someone who allegedly thinks that I am scum
Key questions
I'm gonna mull over these, but please feel free to chip in:
-Why does JV sit on the weak visitor info until today?
-Why does DGB neglect to mention the gated aspect of her role until after the event?
-3473 sets out JV's theory on why DGB can't be scum due to setup spec. I need to go back over this and fathom how reasonable this seems
-I think we can all agree that scum either no-killed N2 or cross-killed flea to make sure the PGO did its work but which theory does this fact make more sense with?-

My current thoughts on SRs and probable scumteams
So DGB makes a very good point that people do seem to have a tendency to look past Noraa's sus behaviour. Noraa is definitely a very cutesy player (and I like that about her!) but she is also very capable, which is why I can ABSOLUTELY see the quickhammer yesterday as coming from scum as her cutesy persona gives her more license to get away with it
If Noraa hadn't quickhammered yesterday, I would've voted DGB by now, as that theory makes way more sense to me in terms of fitting the facts of the game (eg, consider infin's excellent point of the risk of scum!noraa no-killing n2 - the only player who benefits from no-killing n2 is the claimed RB, as they can then use this to paint a guilty on someone who they know is town).
As it stands, I am bamboozled. This discussion is healthy though so we should definitely let it run its course before putting votes down anywhere. In particular, I am keen to think thorough the setup spec stuff more and also hear from JV and DGB on why they late-claimed their full roles.-

Tbqh I'm leaning slightly towards DGB/JV being the solve because it just seems so risky for a noraa + 1 other to no kill N2 and hope that DGB targets someone that they can then frame. If Noraa is town here, they have made this choice significantly harder because I will be kicking myself if I don't vote someone who openly quickhammered yesterday and they turn out to be scum.-

@JV - I've been thinking through some of your setup spec logic -> Some of it makes sense, but a fair chunk may sense fypov if you are town here, but doesn't hold up when looking at it as a third party as I don't know that you are town, and hence cannot rely on your vig claim being legit. I've added some thoughts below - let me know what you think
In post 3452, JacksonVirgo wrote:Why DGB is mechnically Town.- If a protective were to claim, Roleblocker would be a scum-claim yet there is no protective meaning that Roleblocker makes perfect sense as the "protective" and also weakening the powers of the Masons pre-claim.
I agree that there is an element of risk to this - due to the order that people claimed in, there was a low chance of a RB CC from another player as most people had claimed iirc, but yeah if there was a doc that had claimed VT then this would not be a direct CC but would put DGB in hot water
- Claiming Roleblocker D2 is almost never coming from a scum!Roleblocker. And in the case of a bus, why would scum no-kill or claim Roleblocker knowing that one either ALREADY EXISTS and blocked their buddy or a protective exists and claiming roleblocker destroys the utility for their role and also creates a 1v1 with the Town PR.
FMPOV, if DGB is scum then it is likely with you, so this doesn't hold up as if you NKed pig then there is no missing kill
- What Monrangal said, a gambit there from that early on is so impractical it's likely never even a possibility to begin with. They would have needed there be no protective/roleblocker, somehow a reason for Town to think that it's happened via a Town/Scum interaction (aka roleblock) and then claim the perfect role in order to fit into the PR claims that haven't even happened yet. The ONLY advocation for scum!DGB is they killed Toogoloo N1 alongside myself and that's just stupid.
Again, fmpov, they do not need to have cross-killed toog if you are scum with them and NKed toog then fakeclaimed vig to explain it
As a sidenote, if you and DGB are town here then that is 6 TPRs of 10 townies, which seems like a lot. Is 6 TPRs common in mini themes? I haven't played enough to know how realistic that is

You keep shading me without actually making a substantive argument as to why - I'd actually like to know why you seem to be seeing me as scum here (unless you are just sheeping mom) so that I can try and sort you between being a misguided townie or being an openwolfing scum based on your view of the gamestate :S
Your summary of my post is also slightly misleading - I am advocating two possible theories -> One with you as scum + 1 other and one with a DGB/JV scumteam
Yes, I am undecided right now but that's just me being honest with where I'm at. Put yourself in my shoes here -> You have a theoretical solve (DGB/JV) that makes sense and then your top TR (outside of Mom) goes and quickhammers a TPR. Are you seriously teling me that this wouldn't leave you a bit stumped too?

Yo @DGB - before you go would you mind explaining why you didn't initially claim the gated part of your role and only announced it once the gate had been reached (as it were)?
As you will know this is the gambit Flavour Leaf pulled with his FN FakeClaim in Bending so I hope you can understand why I am somewhat sus of people modifying their claim later down the line-

A couple of things that are on my mind:

(My underlines above, for emphasis)In post 3643, Noraa wrote: Mainly poe tbh.I find Infinity more towny than you. That is really the only reason you are in my SRs.
1.) You seem to actively call my posts sus in the top quote (see my underline) but then go on to say in the bottom quote that you just have me in your POE due to not TRing me as much as JV/infin. This seems like a mild contradiction here but I don't want to misrep you. Help me understand - are you actively SRing me or not?
2.) You came into this day with me in your solve based on what Mom had said and you now have me in your solve due to POE & being a weaker TR than JV/Infin. Have you moved on from basing your solve on Mom's one?
3.) Given how simple your explanation is for having me in your solve, why have you waited so long to put it out there given how frequently you were asked for it?
4.) Ref the explanation itself - if DGB is scum then JV is lying about being a weak visitor (unless there was some funky role modifier on DGB) so how am I more likely than JV to be DGB's scum buddy?-

So I've had a plod through the VCs and tallied up DGB and Noraa's votes against the various groups of players. There's nothing massively illuminating that I have managed to glean from it (other than Noraa votes DGB a lot) but I figured I'd share it in case anyone else can see anything of interest in it.
All of DGB's votes on conftown were split between Mom d1, where she was #2 on the wagon (I was #1) and Horse d1. Noraa's votes on conftown were more spread out and included Guillo d1, and then the Guillo and Vax wagons d3 and d4

So I've had a plod through the VCs and tallied up DGB and Noraa's votes against the various groups of players. There's nothing massively illuminating that I have managed to glean from it (other than Noraa votes DGB a lot) but I figured I'd share it in case anyone else can see anything of interest in it.
All of DGB's votes on conftown were split between Mom d1, where she was #2 on the wagon (I was #1) and Horse d1. Noraa's votes on conftown were more spread out and included Guillo d1, and then the Guillo and Vax wagons d3 and d4

Ah right, so your theory is that if you claimed, then scum could've fake claimed they were some sort of a role that blocks or prevents yours, and that is why you didn't die as they targeted you?In post 3649, JacksonVirgo wrote:

Shortly after this Math claims mason, and we learn that flea is a Fruit Vendor. Ie, every slot had claimed by the end of D2, and the only ones being cagey about the extent of their powers were the masons.In post 2161, Momrangal wrote:Noraa- camper

OK, so which specific slots hadn't claimed fypov?

How would a protective fakeclaim undermine an inno on DGB? I guess at a push they could claim to have protected you but in the swing of things forcing scum to commit to a fakeclaim and getting crucial info out there on DGB's alignment (given how much of the D3/4 play was based around her claimed actions) is surely worth the risk of a scum fakeclaim muddying the waters somewhat?In post 3667, JacksonVirgo wrote:

--pedit I have no strong feelings on whether a town RB makes sense in this setup, although more generally, I do think that 6 PRs seems like a lot for town. Yes, I did see your post and Noraa and their contradictions when I was catching up, and have also read DGB's cases on them too. I mean noraa has made some contradictions and the quickhammer was v sus, but equally a JV/DGB scumteam makes more sense in terms of explaining the no-kill N2, in addition to the late claim changes being sus and 6 TPRs seeming like too many for town-

So let's say DGB is scum here (as you seem to think). That would mean that they would have to have some unusual modifier or JV would be dead if telling the truth.In post 3677, Infinity 324 wrote:I haven't read up, I had a migraine today
@Mark: I don't think JV/DGB is possible because the setup wouldn't pass balance. Theoretically the other scum could be a roleblocker
I can see arguments for a DGB/JV scumteam here (no kill N2 makes more sense if claimed RB is scum) or for Noraa (quickhammer d4) but I'm finding it hard to see DGB being scum here without JV. Who do you see as being a potential partner?
I was looking at some mini-normals to get an idea of how many PRs in a 13p is typical and consider this game with masons - viewtopic.php?f=90&t=83883 where there are 3 masons w/ a mason+, no other TPRs and multiple scum PRs. If that's balanced, then are you trying to tell me that 6 TPRs here is balanced?? As that is what we would have if DGB/JV are town.-

I must be missing where you explain how a no-kill N2 makes more sense - unless you are talking about 3502 where you suggest a cross-kill is possible, but as scum knew that flea was going to target a PGO and die that seems an unlikely NK target for them. If I'm missing another post where you explain this better, please could you link me as I couldn't see it in your ISO when scannning through.In post 3678, JacksonVirgo wrote:

I hadn't given it much thought until infin mentioned it, but just seems so risky for scum!noraa to no-kill n2 as if DGB targets noraa or any other member of the scumteam for that matter then it will seem like a guilty due to the lack of kill other than flea (which is explained by the PGO). Conversely, scum!DGB can use a no-kill n2 to paint a guilty on guillo (as we have seen). Do you have an alternate explanation for this?-

Is this a slip? We know Flea visited Vax as Vax was able to confirm the contents of the picnic basket (after a bit of mod faff), so we know for a fact that Vax's PGO role killed flea. Yes, scum may have cross-targetted flea but this would be functionally the same as a no-kill.In post 3687, DrippingGoofball wrote:Why? Maybe they didn't want Vax to be confirmed PGO; maybe they didn't trust Flea to target Vax? I don't know. But with hindsight and Guillotina having flipped town, we can be pretty confident that scum NK'd Flea.-

And yeah, I'm fence-sitting real hard rn because the DGB/JV solve makes more sense to me, but I would die inside a little bit if I let someone have a free pass for quickhammering D4 if they then turned out to be scum. I just think Noraa is competent enough as a player not to quick hammer by mistake.-

I'm back
1.) Scum deciding to gambit N1 is exactly what happened in Bending, and led to scum walking the game, so yeah, I can totally see that happeningIn post 3699, JacksonVirgo wrote:
I am just going to say this quick. Do you honestly expect all three scum to make a combined gambit N1 and me immediately thrust into claiming it when the chances it goes wrong is GOD LEVEL's higher than chances it succeeds, that and I am generally hateful against Gambits as they fail 9 times out of 10.\In post 3696, Marky Mark wrote:And yeah, I'm fence-sitting real hard rn because the DGB/JV solve makes more sense to me, but I would die inside a little bit if I let someone have a free pass for quickhammering D4 if they then turned out to be scum.

Also what's the difference between DGB/JV and a Noraa/[X] scum-team regarding the N2 kill. What makes it more likely it's the former with the missing kill?
2.) Ref the N2 no-kill (as I understand it)
->If DGB is scum then no-kill N2 lets her paint a fake guilty on whoever she chooses to RB - so it could be an overall positive for the scumteam
->If Noraa is scum (and DGB town) then if she no-kills N2 and DGB targets ANY scum slot it will look like that slot is guilty - so it is a significant risk to the scumteam
Please come back at me if you think I am misunderstanding this - I am keen to fathom this out as N2 underpinned the narrative for most of the midgame-

Talking through the N2 what-ifs was helpful. I still think that DGB/JV as a scumteam does provide a logical explanation for N2 and for the wild abundance of TPRs (6/10 seems like A LOT). I also am somewhat sus of the late JOAT claim from JV that happens to inno the slot that he's suspected of being scum with (fmpov).
That being said, it's hard to look past the noraa quickhammer yesterday and I am uneasy that both noraa/infin are seeing DGB as scum WITHOUT JV as the partner, which as I have explained just does not make sense to me.
I also don't understand Noraa appealing to JV to vote for DGB - a slot that he allegedly has an inno on??
Noraa, if you are town here then I'm sorry, but I think you are a competent enough player not to inadvertently quickhammer and as such it just seems like openwolfing to me. Intent to vote noraa in the next few hours, unless my mind is substantially changed by their responses.-

You're saying I'm scum because? Like if you're actually town here can you not see how sus it is that you are asking JV to vote for a slot that he's (allegedly) inno-ed?!
--pedit: you are a good player and I honestly think town!you would have an awareness of the vote #s. I would buy this maaaybe D1 if there was like 7 votes to keep track of, but I'm pretty sure you can count to 4, especially given the proximity of a votecount to your time of voting.
--pedit2: If you're actually town here then work with me. This, however feels like an attempt to swing an elim on me because it's not looking like you're getting one on DGB any time soon. If DGB is scum here then explain a.) why JV is alive and b.) why he is going to such great lengths to defend her-

You keep talking about 6 TPRs, but one of those is a PGO, which is negative utility. One of those is a fruit vendor, which barely adds anything. One of those is DGB, who is scum. The masons and JV have all the power in the town. Yeah it's a decent amount of power but it's by no means super townsided.
Ok yeah, that kinda makes sense. So, by that logic, DGB and JV both being scum would make town too weak as would be the masons, a negative PR and a semi-useless PR. It seems improbable that DGB just happens to have some funky modifier that would stop JV dying from visiting scum!them so I feel like their alignments are v likely bound up together-

The case for a DGB/JV scumteam is a complex case involving gambits, fakeclaims and convoluted PR interactions, so clearly there's lots to talk through and pick apart.In post 3739, Infinity 324 wrote:All of mark's logic points towards DGB being scum, but he's gonna vote noraa anyway.

The case for a nora + 1 other scumteam basically boils down to whether noraa can count to 4 or not-

Marky keeps saying scum team is DGB/Jacko just to make it look like he has townie paranoia. But townie paranoia is not what townies have here. Here it is clear as day what the solve is and we are waiting for one person to finally realize it.
As has been discussed, scum!DGB mechanically means JV is lying unless DGB has some very specific role modifier to prevent JV dying due to the weak aspect of his role. Surely the paranoia is you thinking a DGB scumteam WITHOUT JV is more likely here.-
