Oh thank God. I did not want to end up in Lylo after drawing attention with that PR stuff towards the end.

Sky, that was odd. Had me thinking of picking you in night mode. Lylo would have been a beast after all that.

I mean, if I could even slightly imply I may have info that scum doesn't and draw a nightkill then that would've been cool. Unfortunately I went about it weirdly when Ice pointed it out.

Yes, thanks for modding!

It's a weird move, Sky. May need some fine tuning.

Also I totally knew it'd be two goons. Why else fakeclaim D1 if there wasn't a 60% chance of pulling it off?

Oops. The links for the Graveyard and Mafia PTs should be correct now. They're also linked in the first post of my Mod PT.

To be fair scum here just had tough luck. Weirdly I think that claim was ok, it just came at a bad time? Like it didn't seem like a consequence of your wagon, it felt constructed. Like you wanted to push that gamestate. You just have to remember that town players, especially newbies, are reactive and not active. Otherwise it comes out as unnatural.

You tended to verbalize what you wanted town to think you were doing and not just acting that way. Just don't be in a hurry and be an actor.

Good game y'all.

Damn, I did nothing.

This game came at a REALLY unfortunate time for me. I’m much more active in games but it just happened to coincide with some weird trips. I’ll type more when I finally fly home tomorrow.
is this where I tell you to swipe right

Nah you did really well. No one really suspected you enough to want you lynched until D2. 2.7 made a pretty big, complex play and imperfectly, you managed to distance yourself from it well and knew to lean into your feeling of being new to create WIFOM.

It's just bad luck, we got lucky with his roleclaim cuz we only had three ppl to pressure on D2. That's exceptionally lucky. The fact that you were scum your first game is also bad luck. You should play another game, hopefully (and likely) as town so it helps you understand what it's like trying to find scum.

@Trinity: Yeah, I think you got unlucky a bit, I was ready to lynch between Bins and Ice but suddenly Bins was conftown and Ice offered himself up in the lynch pool which basically flipped my read on him. It also would've been interesting to see you try to push for a mislynch on me after my blunder.

It was my fault though that Nonny and Bins were both conf!town, I pushed too quickly on lynching Bins.

What was your blunder?

Being weird about the whole hinting about being a PR to draw a nightkill. Also in hindsight it could be perceived as a grab for towncred or as scum preparing for a claim and abandoning that claim.

Nonny was conf!town cuz she claimed to save a townie and pushed hard on 2.7's lynch. Bins was going into L-1 regardless. If she hadn't jailed her N1, we would still be arguing about whether it's Bins or Ice right now. Not your fault.

I had major doubts about you being the scum @trinity. I thought for sure it would be you today as a mislynch me tomorrow and the sky ending up as the final scum.

You guys were just unlucky that it was two new players and we had a jailer that was able to conf town one of our big targets.

The whole "conftown" thing made little sense to me. I mean I knew who the town were but it seemed like no one was confirmed town except Formerfish.
"Nonny was conf!town cuz she claimed to save a townie and pushed hard on 2.7's lynch." seems fallacious to me.

Confirmed town and mod confirmed town are two different things. Confirmed town is someone who, mechanically, does not make sense as a scum. Mod confirmed town is either an Innocent Child or someone who has flipped.

The first is more of a term of art than actual thing.

Hey scum bags, why kill me n1? It didn't seem like you were PR reading me in the scum PT, and I'm just curious.
