No real reason. I didn't feel Rem's discard to be good enough evidence for a vote, but that post sure was.-

Yes, I do find it highly suspicious. However, the mod's response should clear that up nicely.-

@Rem, I voted you because I see no possible town motivation for not picking a PR when possible. I still don't.
Analogy:
Imagine you and 2 friends have to jump off a sinking boat and swim to an island. You look over what belongings you have:
Friend 1: "I brought food and water."
Friend 2: "I brought matches to light up a fire."
You: "I had some fishing equipment, but I chose not to bring it, because I don't like having responsibilities like that."
Seriously, I hope you're lying at this point, because if you're going through life with that attitude it's going to fuck you up royally.-

So you're saying 1-shot governor is your alignment card? And I'll assume that 'e' in there is just a typo.
Can multiple people not get the same cards?-

so yeah, reads come from a lot of things - gut, meta, reasoning about the setup, votecount analysis, how they act towards other players etc. The vast majority of reads are based of some sort of logic, whether it is soft e.g. X acted like this, so their motivation must be Y or hard e.g. there's 3 of us left, and me and X are masons so Z is scum.

I'm back. Sorry about the absence yesterday. Well done lynching scum though, even though it seemed a bit of a random lynch. That doesn't matter though, eh?
So, in my read-through, the only recent claims I saw were xfdagent's cop claim and Lissa's prober claim. I laughed at xfdagent's claim post:
In post 455, xfdagentx42 wrote:Iknow, I had to softclaim.
As for explanation, I softclaimed because things were going bad for me.Might have been not that bad, since I didnt have Votes yet, but its only a few time before people start a wagon and I get lynched.
Considering my random reads, it's been bad, especially telling Not Mafia is scum then town.Of course there is a reason of late for that.Please, I know it's weird with me lately.
As clever as this is, I don't understand how this would prevent anti-town players from seeing this information.
Lissa claimed (and flipped) town prober. The night kill is interesting to me because it suggests to me that there are more werewolfs in play that were more afraid of Lissa's PR than xfdagent's. If cops can get results on mafia and werewolfs, this suggests that there isn't a mafia faction, as they would be more inclined to kill xfdagent.
I'm inclined to think that acfan used his 1-shot last night, which is why there was only one nightkill tonight, while there were two yesterday. That might mean that there's only one faction, werewolfs—at least that has a NK ability. I don't know if there are any roles that wouldn't have NK abilities? Alternative some protective roles could have succeeded. There's probably only one werewolf left too.-

Mark, your Reminiscence case is interesting. However, acfan was defending him so vigorously that I'm having a hard time believing that he can be scum with acfan.

In post 399, ac1983fan wrote:CAN WE PLEASE. MOVE ON. FROM THE REMINISCENCE ROLE SELECTION THING.
He's town. If you think he's scum, get over it. And if you try to push his lynch after this I'm going to have to assume you are scum pushing a mislynch.
In post 408, ac1983fan wrote:Remi, NM are hard town reads.
Of course, he could be scum, but I'm not used to seeing such hard buddying. Then again, that could be the thought processes behind it, creating a WIFOM situation and all.-

Reads list, as requested, in no particular order, through strangely perfectly alphabetical:
Aronis – Appears to be attempting to seem productive by producing content that doesn’t contain much analysis of anything. But his play doesn’t scream scum either, and resembles more of a disinterest. Neutral.
Awesomeusername – Actively scumhunting and very productive. I like what I see. Town.
Marky Mark – Posts a lot of analysis and gives off the ‘confused’ vibe of not knowing orentations, but trying to find them out that you would expect in a town player. Town.
Not_Mafia – His play has been pretty good. However, the slip in 64 was still so bad that I’m inclined to read non-town. Leaning scum.
Reinoe – I’m torn on Reinoe. His play seems OK, maybe slightly less. However, what really strikes me is his claim (174), and that was something I looked at closely when I re-read. I noticed that he emphasized “One-shot governor” while ignoring the word “Town” right in front, which was quite obvious, and he must surely have noticed. Also, Bins said she used it as an alignment card right after, in the same sentence. It’s hard to think that reinoe missed all of this and didn’t realize it wasn’t “Mafia One-Shot Governor” the card was, but the town equivalent. Leaning scum.
Rem – I was of course very suspicious to begin with. And I had reason to be. I think people may be right when they say it’s so crazy play that he must be town. Then again, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s just manipulating us all and is actually just using wacky reasoning to justify the discard. Neutral.
Xfd – I see no reason to doubt the cop claim. I don’t think scum would risk taking on such a burden. His play has given me a gut scum read, but I’m thinking it’s more of a play style thing than orientation. Town.-

Clearly being v/la is not alignment indicative, but the fact you were V/LA for a large portion of yesterday and were v/la for a decent part of d1 too makes it hard to get a good read on you. My gut feel was that you were laying low but that probably isn't a fair point to make as you could well have had genuine rl stuff to deal with.
Yeah, I was going to say that it wasn't fair.
I was hardly V/LA day 1. The day lasted two RL days, and I posted over 20 times in that period. Unless sleeping counts as V/LA?
The day 2 inactivity was due to back-to-back RL activities, first my sister's wedding, and then a week-long holiday afterwards (I had 90 minutes of sleep that night). I can assure you that it was a site-wide V/LA (more like an internet-wide V/LA) and not because I hate this game or the players.-

Answer these questions please:
1. What, exactly, was your result? You're saying you got a result of not scum on NotMafia, and not alien on Lissa?
2. Why did you wait to share this information? Why wasn't it your first priority?
3. What makes you think there isn't more scum, and what do you then think is left for town to defeat?
And some more pressure seems helpful.

Also, I've got some new ones now:
4. You said NotMafia was not scum. What exactly do you know he isn't, and why didn't you specify this?
5. Why did you claim cop in the beginning of the day, but cop-of-all-trades now?-

This is a very interesting point. Maybe our best shot will be in a no lynch. Though the abundance of PRs in this game makes it a less clear-cut decision than in other games.
I'm a 1-Shot Bulletproof Townie. Being bulletproof turned out to not be that helpful after all though. Popcorn to awesomeusername.-

Let me start off by saying I'm not the strongman, and I'm not sure who is. It's a very interesting way to analyze though, since we have so many PRs. Though I'm curious, why are you not sharing your results?
I agree with your reads on aronis and markymark. Your read of mark is great logic.
Reinoe's claim does bother me. Firstly, as I said before, look at this bit:
In post 174, reinoe wrote:In post 173, Lissa wrote:In post 172, reinoe wrote:In post 171, Lissa wrote:In post 170, reinoe wrote:In post 168, Bins wrote:Some cards can only happen once.
which cards can only happen once?
Look at the list. If it's only on there once, only one person can get it.
If two people claimed to have gotten, for example, a Town Supersaint card, one is lying.
AHHHH OK. So let's say Ki-Gi discarded innocent child. That means nobody else drew Innocent child right?
Right. And I discarded (somewhat coincidentally) town compulsive childkiller, so nobody else drew that either. And since Bins used Townas alignment card, nobody else got that either, assuming she's telling the truth.One-Shot Governor
Nope. Bins is lying.
VOTE: Bin
...he clearly must have seen it said "Town One-Shot Governor", because he used so much effort highlighting the "One-Shot Governor" part and completely ignored the "Town" part.
The second part should be cleared up by this question:
@mod:Would a hypothetical governor extend twilight in this game?
I've convinced myself that awesome is town. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but that's how I've read him. That leaves Reminisence... I'll have to revisit him.-

Reinoe, I'm not pleased that your first post in a potential MyLo is a vote. I think no lynch is probably a very viable option, as long as Marky Mark doesn't claim that would nullify that.-

Awesomeusername, I was thinking about what you said about mark. For Marky to be strongman, his cards must be:
Werewolf Mason
Mafia Strongman
Werewolf alignment
I'm convinced that werewolf is the only (killing) anti-town faction. If anyone disagrees I'd like to hear why.
The thing is, if he were to point out the mafia mason thing as town, the only possible role for him to reasonably pick would be town mason. As it was very possible that other masons existed, this would be a very risky call.-

I'm still troubled by 174. It seems unbelievable that he missed the word "Town" right before what he massively highlighted, especially since his post right before that was quoting a post that also clearly included alignment in the role.
If this theory is correct, the claim was low-risk, as the only card that could be counter-claimed would be "Scum one-shot governor", and maybe if he was fakeclaiming he even had this in his cards, in which case it was a bulletproof claim, which would give massive towncred, at least it did for me.-

He couldn't be a mason unless he drew two mason cards because he discarded one. But yes, I agree that not remarking on the Mafia Mason thing might have been wise for scum.
Yeah, looking back on it that was a completely flawed argument. The only reasons I can think of for him not pointing it out if he is strongman are:
1. He forgot about it.
2. He didn't want to commit to a fakeclaim that early in the game.
The latter is a real possibility.-

Sorry, but no. I've been really busy lately and haven't had much time. I'll hopefully get to it later.
I'd certainly like to test the governor. It would have to be on whoever is least likely to be lynched, in order to not interfere with the play. That's probably awesomeusername.-

In post 638, awesomeusername wrote:You can always no-lynch tomorrow if you like.
This strikes me as odd and potentially coming from a last werewolf. If we mislynch and there are two scum left, it's game over. However, awesome seems led by the assumption that play will continue tomorrow, signifying either:
1. He knows a lynch will hit scum—he has no way of knowing.
2. He knows a mislynch won't end the game.
Nevertheless, I'm most comfortable with a no lynch today. There's a real possibility of two scum being left, and I'm not certain of anyone being town, so a limited lynch pool is helpful no matter what IMO. Also, if there is two scum left, it's easier to vote correctly in LyLo. Then all 3 town must assemble on one vote rather than all 4 in MyLo. The only reason not to no lynch would be the possibility of us lynching the strongman today and the roleblock being successful. But that's not going to happen as I'm seemingly the main suspect now. Also, if scum no-kill, that would royally fuck it up.
VOTE: No Lynch
