Also, no matter who the scum is, it is nearly guaranteed at this point that there is at least one of them that is putting on, or has put on, quite a great show.

you think he is indistinguishable? RC is a wolfy wolf who plays all his cards way too aggressively and pushes for scum wincon like hell.

I can be wrong but it's where I'm at.
Interesting. I like your observations, however I think theres a bit more to it.
The thing that weirds me out is, if there indeed is no incentive for scum to push to eliminate town in the hood, then what scum motivation is left for a scum RC to go all-in so hard on Mathblade? Especially since if the slot is town, apparently its a tracker that wanted to be flipped just to pretend he tracked Math while he couldve never gotten the result he claimed to have gotten. But then again, maybe thats just what he wanted us to think, although I doubt his planning really goes that deep. He normally doesnt really strike me as the planning scum player, but one that banks on persuasion and intimidation.
ok I'm confused. so titus is a tracker. titus claims to have tracked mathblade while in a neighborhood with mathblade, and wants to flip herself so that... what? I don't follow. why is titus' claim impossible?
Try and read RC's day 2 stuff. Id actually be interested in your views on that stuff. Titus replaced RC after the mod dumped hiss ass out for toxicity

Like, if RC was indeed scum and he turned another game into a toxic wasteland to satiate his win%, his team deserves to get destroyed here.
If he was right, and town, and Mathblade is scum, then I feel kinda bad for getting in his way and pissing him off so much that he did turn the game into a messy swamp, and I still wanna fix it.
If both the slots are town, then scum is just sitting back for the most part and having too easy a time watching the town tear itself apart. Still means theres likely some great performing scum in the Brians, nosferatu's and muffins in this game, but like, lets put their necks in a rope?

Be Mastina
Design a setup where town gets a vig
Counter it by giving scum a neighbourhood where they constantly have to convince the 3rd person to shoot town to also get extra killing actions. Make it so they cannot kill the third person, but they can try to bring in more gullible people
Or
Just design a neighbourhood filled with town. Add all these little subtle hints that there might very well be scum in there. Grab popcorn and watch as paranoia sweeps through the game.

The thing is, if there is no scum PT, while there is a PT checker, that kinda borders on bastard if we do not get informed that scum doesnt have a PT, because that is rather far outside of the norm. Unless Hebi is scum ofcourse and the role is fake. Having a town PT checker with a scum team without a PT, without any way for town to know that shit......

So if Oath is telling the truth, we either have lying people in the neighbourhood with a double role/identity, or the VIG and rolestopper crapnanigans have to be in the 4 leftover people.
-MAYBE- it would help to force Titus to out who the vig is. That way we at least confirm that he really is a tracker, whether its a scum tracker or not, becomes less relevant, itll still be usefull information to solve the RC-gambit puzzle.
Those 4 slots are also quite likely to at least have 1 scum in them. If we can get more information there, it narrows the lynchpool down. If there is scum in there, scum also is much more likely to narrow down on the vig and a potential rolestopper - (they would know if there is one, since they are quite likely to have tried to kill Hebi).
Youre still really against a full-claim Ank? I think it might help us out quite a bit, especially if theres another potential VT that Hebi can clear in the pool of questionable people.

Also, if Hebi is scum then HWS is definately scum with her. The only way it makes sense to claim that shit there as scum is to save HWS from certain death that was gonna come undoubtedly on D2 without that claim.

Nah, not buying it.
Again not bastard as I have cited a game that was approved where it didn’t exist and wasn’t bastard.
And town didn’t have a way to figure out that shit in game. They figured it out through deduction.

In post 4595, Titus wrote:Hey, we ever hear of kiss?
Zmuffin cannot be a seer at all. His play is not consistent with that ever.
Also, where did Lady go?
Youre gonna have to explain that one Titus. Also what is kiss, except the act of rubbing lips and -that band-
In post 4602, Vecna wrote:Still want titus to explain why the play is not consistent with being a seer
1) Zmuffin never suspected hebi
2) Zmuffin had no useful results
3) zmuffin only claimed under pressure
Yeah ok, I can get this reasoning.
The flip side though is that he did scan me N1, while it was still relevant, and he heavily softed that he had strong reasons to think I was town. The way it was softed, and the reasoning knowing Cheeky's recent familiarity with me, totally makes me buy that reasoning. Also, the lurking play does fit with how I would expect Cheeky to play a role like that.
Also I would expect Pro-Town-Titus (I like the sound of that) to totally account for the possibility that Zmuffin might not actually be a 2-shot seer, but an infinite-shot-seer that was forced to claim, which also would account for the outburst of anger afterwards.
I for one am still not convinced that the slot is scum. Not at all.

So wolves might all be ascetic, have some sort of alpha wolf immunity aura......or youre just trying to lift along on the nonsense surrounding Oath's slot.
In post 4711, Ankamius wrote:Like the reason I don't put much stock in Vecna being double cleared despite believing both claims are probably true is because of how the setup is set up
It's probable that there is a traitor via Hebi
It's possible that there is a mafia-aligned via Muffin and can be implied via Oath
Why can't we have those two put together, it's a mindfuck I can see mastina pulling
Can I get a reads list from you? Just how confident are you Vecna is scum? I can see Vecna captializing on Math being how he is.
Actually, he's alive because of me. Maybe you should actually read up on some of the key moments in this game

someone that read RC recently, did he already scumread math d1? If titus and oath are both what they claim they are its possible that they were roleblocked...i guess
still somewhat weird to have a 3p rb, a town jailkeeper anf a scum rb, but its possible both got blocked because of predictions of where their abilities would go.
at any rate, Im starting to see more and more town-titus things, so im not sure if I still wanna lynch there.
its time for my pool to shift a bit.
gamma emerald is still a proper candidate for scum.
im completely uncertain about math, creature and brian. if it wasn't for the lynched flavour id swear the entire scumteam being in that hood would be a possibilty

both hebi and her first claim then because the only reason to fakeclim there in the spot she did was to protect her temmate from death for perfect win.....which i doubt happened.
as for your interpretation of my play, sorry but its nonsense. i havent had to react to anythibg since ive been cleared for a long time. it just feels like youre reaching for stuff that sounds nice or youre not actually reading what im doing. unless you wanna call actively push for a massclaim reactive or we i guess

Also, ive been cleared of being in a pt and ive had an allignment check done on me. That would only not clear me if im like.....a traitor of which Muffin somehow knows im a traitor? Which scum never does. Or if im scum with both Hebi and Muffin, which is also rediculous.
So if you wanna talk about an absence of intelligence, please start making some sense in your stuff

Honestly, its quite adorable how you keep poking at all little details just because you made up your mind I have to be scum, even with all the evidence going against it.....but youre not doing anyone any favours.
What happened to your usual approach of townblocking titus? It seems like youre just interested in painting whoever you can as a suspect to escape the lynch. If youre town here, youre not doing yourself or anyone else any favours with this type of nonsense.

Deadline for Day Three is Wednesday, August 8th, @ 3:00 PM PDT: 2 days, 14 hours, 37 minutes.
People we shouldnt lynch today:
Hebichan, for very obvious reasons
zMuffin, Because I think he's lying about it being a 2shot ability and he's gonna clear someone again tonight (compare it to all other abilities that do not have a limited number of charges, it doesnt fit within the setup - this is also a good argument for him being scum though) - aka scum will have to deal with it.

Since im getting that annoying desperate feeling im just revisiting a bunch of my earlier reads, reading through their shit to see if how I felt at some point still jives with the gamestate
Townpool:
Lady Angel/Brian/Yuri slot - Yuuri Day 1 felt extremely town. The freeflowing thought patterns all screamed town. Nico and Vax didnt contribute anything. Brain I still felt was towny. He also felt way more antagonistic than ive seen him play as scum, but fuck meta I guess. The replace out also feels slightly like it was frustrated town to me personally, although the timing was really weird and wtf. This all jives quite well for me to be confident in townreading the slot for numerous reasons and not wanting it lynched.
HeWhoSwims - Weird slot. Was getting a lot of pressure on Day1, and wouldve been sure to be the day2 lynch, but Hebi cleared the slot. I townread the play on day1 slightly though, even though the reasons for it escape me now. Still, all this talk about traitors is nonsense. There -could- be one, but all the PT's are ample to get this slot and a PT cop (if its a real thing) lynched or questioned. If a hebi clear would be questioned, it makes a lot more sense to be doubting the hebi claim instead. People that think they can setup spec to that degree to state there has to be a traitor are kinda moronic, not because theyre 100% wrong, but because theyre trying to outguess the mod on such a small level that its rediculous without knowing all the details of the setup. Regardless, this slot will stay town for now, I guess - even though I havent been impressed with the play after getting cleared.
Ankamius - This slot im quite puzzled about. The constant use of emotion makes it particularly hard to read for me. I guess I can see it from some point that I agitate players with my playstyle, it has happened before. But at the same time theres a small gnawing feeling that it could be Broadwaytime. I dont recall Ankamius ever playing like this before. With everything I do, I get attacked for some reason from the slot. The weird claim by definition is calling for all type of questionmarks, especially since it now claims vt (although I guess it could still be a pt trying to hide, but it sure is weird). There have been plenty of genuine feelings though, the stuff surrounding Oath feels pretty fell thought out (and I would only ever expect this from town, or from tryhard scum protecting and planning around a teammate). Gun to my head the slot is still town, but im not certain and I feel the slot could fit in quite many scum configurations.
hebichan - Meh. Weird claim at a weird moment. Felt very town D1 so that was probably the correct interpretation. Could just be master-class fooling us all, and the contributions lately havent been very town-indicative, but I guess she's probably also bored and annoyed at the gamestate. Scumread me as she does in every game, even though she recognized I was playing to my town-meta.
Oath - Its still possible this slot just did the move where they go all-in for towncred. Replace in into a gamestate, try and push all wagons away from the 16 leading wagons on town. But Ankamius is probably correct in her interpretation. Its still possible GE and Oath are scum together I guess. But not very likely.
zMuffinMan - Talked about this slot a bunch already. I think its town much more likely than scum, but I could be mistaken. We should probably see what tomorrow brings. Im expecting the two shot thing about the ability is nonsense and we'll get another trick from our muffin.
Vecna - Im doing quite alright. Im making the observation that the further I get down these lists, the more bored I get with writing them, and the less insightfull each description gets.
Null / hard to read
Nosferatu - Says a lot of stuff that sounds towny. Still feels like its potentially scummy and just putting on a great show. Dont really have a very indepth read going on here. Could be the vig I guess. Plenty of people stating its obvious, im apparently missing quite a lot this game.
Toranaga - Who the fuck knows, 50/50 coinflip on allignment, none of the occupiers of the slot have done anything to give me a clue. The last posts from AA9 didnt sound insightfull at all, but for some reason I did have a strong scumread here, over which I got attacked quite a lot early game, then I develloped a minor townread, and im completely unsure about it now. The replacement seemed somewhat helpfull and willing to get involved, but I havent seen anything yet that is AI to me. Has some links to creature though. Looking back, a scumpairing of Creature + This slot is possible.
Creature - The reason I talked about the pairing is because Creature attacked me very uncharismatically on Day1. I did some quite weird pairings on D1 and he reacted with discrediting statements. 2 of the pairing have flipped town. There still is that lingering doubt. Creature's play this game is right in between his meta's where its slightly more involved than even in the finished transformers game, but hes still not doing certain things I know town-creature is capable of. Potential scum, but im still not sure whether its better than a 50/50
Titus - I dont feel like talking about Titus. For some reason we always fight. Its a shame really. Did some town-ping things I wont really go into. Did some scumthingies that everyone is aware of. Im not too sure either way. The roleblock claim feels weird and lazy. It could either explain a bunch of things if theres a Rb on the scumteam. Or its just scumtitus doing a "oh someone claimed to have a failed result, let me just claim the same on the night afterwards to try and make sense of what happened so far this game".
Scum suspects
MathBlade - The center of attention of the multiverse. Oh boy arent you happy Mathblade? Probably not. Theres a number of things that rubbed me the wrong way on this slot. Theres the happy puppy moment where he spotted Ankamius' claim. Thought he knew what it was supposed to be. Went through a whole lot of hollywooding about hiding his hood. CC'd the neighbouriser, which just feels all kinds of weird now looking back at it with all the details we have. 2 people that scumread the slot ended up rb'd in consecutive nights. Is doing a whole lot of hiding behind getting tunneled by two slots, and though there theres 600 posts, most of them are about getting tunneled, how youre feeling personally, and how Vecna is completely not understanding any of the stuff he does or is completely misinterpreting it. The funny thing about it? From none of it I get that agitated feeling that I always get from town Mathblade. At no point do I wanna pull my hair out. At no point does mathblade make me want to stab myself in the eyesocket. Guess its a compliment if youre town Math, because thats an improvement. Or it just means youre scum, and youre managing to talk yourself through all these attacks (which is quite formidable as well I guess). It still remains to be seen whether the weathering of the RC attack was just scum hiding behind the fact they * knew* it was a fakeclaim because they just roleblocked by your faction......or genuine frustration knowing that youre town and youre getting tunneled by all these chipotle-brains. Trying to meta you is probably gonna result in the wrong outcome. I think youre quite likely to be scum here, based purely on GUT, the content of your posts, and the way youre still alive. Also theres the thing where you didnt even once mention the fact that RC started fake-claiming on you because I dared him to. He went over the top on you because I said "you cannot do it without my help" and he wanted to prove me wrong. Yet all you could talk about was "oh woe, its a fakeclaim". You should probably eat a lynch by now. And then theres the thing where Mathblade used "Scum wanna take over the neighbourhood" all the time while he was getting tunneled. YET THAT WAS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE, yet he hid this little gem of knowledge from us because it suited his needs. Im completely baffled the other 3 in the hood never called him on that. So weird.
Gamma Emerald - The Aronis slot was so annoying. In a universe where Mathblade is scum it could still be town I guess. But my gut told me this slot was the most obvious scum in the game. My early game gut is way more often correct than wrong. Yet I once again did a classic move where I let the replacement talk me out of that idea. GE did some lines that I thought were probably towny. Im nowhere near sure that was correct. The enormous buddying and getting me to push on certain people just had so many red flags. The over-excitedness to just troll in plain sight and get away with it is a scum tactic mastered by so many people on this website (Rb/luv/that guy with the cartman avatar whose name escapes me), and I wish I wouldve just kept pushing it.

im willing to lynch anyone in my null or scum pool, although im more happy with some over others.
But then again, you guys are both wrongly suspicious about me, so meh.
Titus, im just gonna do that thing and throw you an olive branch here, whether you take it is up to you - Youre barking up the wrong tree with me. Its understandable since you replaced in and probably missed a whole lot, but just know I had a lot of wrong reads on day1 and thats why im doubting everything atm. You stating im lacking a certain thing from civ mafia, I can understand it at some level, but its not really a fair comparison (in that game I had the entire scumteam nailed on day1, but noone was listening and then I got distracted by that guy day2).

Because town!Math in that instance says impossible I roleblocked RC. Thus, if Math knew RC was blocked, we'd have Math claiming roleblocker and the missing blocks would not be here.
Also you missed my meaning here, I meant a scum Mathblade knowing RC was roleblocked by one of his teammates (which would also account for the Oath getting rb'd thing while trying to do shit to Hebi, although I dont know if that works with the normal way of action adjudication)

When all the town people were finally down to lynch mathblade
and then all the dodgy people push a lynch towards the guy that was the most obv-town in the entire game just because it got replaced a lot and people got confused.
We just switched from scum to town, and everyone threw their reads out the window. I wonder why.
Notice how creature asks me to lead, then when majority with me on a lynch somewhere he goes in a different direction
Nosferatu is suddenly willing to lynch his townread, while he's nowhere when asked about Mathblade
Toranaga's reason for voting there is also scummy as all hell.

Even after all the replacements its the most obv-town slot in the game. Go and read Yuurei back again if u must and wonder if scum can fake that freeflow type of mindfull posting, and then wonder if replacements (although playing less and less, which comes with being a replacement) suddenly cause an allignment shift. Hint; they dont.

Kinda ironic though, were lynching the slot that was the most heavily townread of anyone in the game for the entirety of day1 and day2. Noone cares about that anymore, because a replacement for the slot is in, and it didnt do a proper catchup of 200 freaking pages.
Noone is noticing that a few scum were already bussing on Mathblade, but because it did a weakass appeal to emotion, they used it as an excuse to either unvote Math and go to a vanity wagon or jump ship to this wagon which theyve been heavily stating was town before.
And then you dare to complain that you no longer see any way for town to win.
