I don’t see that as a thing.

Titus was forced to work off a list we agreed to. She especially dreaded giving me powers and I think was trying to keep up appearances. Depending upon what factional abilities scum have she could have easily given it to all town in order to get us to focus there instead of lurkers. Her day end wine of claiming 11v1 is also odd. I think it was designed to make sure we didn’t look at her defenders. Titus is good scum but also arrogant scum. If she thought giving town all power would let her coast she would do it in a heartbeat.
Kind of obligatory to mention this because my gut is pinging me.

The current situation seems very much like something Titus and You might have cooked up as scum together. She knows she's doomed and you replace in and immediately point out all of the valid reasons not to scum read me at that time when there was a jank wagon on me. Obviously this is good to me in two ways: you got it right and you had logical reasoning for getting it right. Meanwhile you and Titus have your normal sniping ... but maybe not up to the usual levels of nastiness. She also does her normal thing where she is irrational towards me.

This just feels too neat.

Disclaimer: For those of you who get all wild about me dumping an initial theory into the game ... I'm not even to FoS with Math yet. Just my gut says something is off. I'll be doing as much re-reading as I can spare and if I find some reason to bring this up again, it will be much more detailed. If I don't ... I don't.

But ... before you go all half cocked on me ... maybe think about it and see what your gut says. I don't particularly care for meta as a general rule and much of this has to do with my prior experience with the players involved so there's that.


Reminder: It's Sunday. I'm stupidly busy on Sunday. I'll keep up as I can.
I mean I can understand why you’d have that FoS.

However we do have two games where we were scum together one where I bussed Titus/RC hydra and one where I didn’t.

I think Titus tried to do something and her arrogance got the better of her.

As stated before if that’s really a problem I can just precog today to demonstrate I did pick it and we can discuss this more in detail if it would help you.

Mainly you’re a big sanity check for me and if my sanity check thinks I could be/am scum that is kinda a problem lol

Sure, no doubt I'll eventually get a read wrong this game.

But yes, I'm happy for us to to leave this to post-game. You're not actually addressing anything I've posted, you're just resorting to silly posts like this and it's getting annoying.

Yeah I briefly read it, you're much closer to that game than your town games I've seen. You match neither, but you're closer to the scum imo.

What about "your vote on me makes no sense" do you not understand? I'm not completely sure but I don't think you've EVER voted me before in any game.

Would you like to try and put my "duckling doesn't not vote for leader" into the context of 733? Or can we maybe agree that meta isn't a 1:1 thing?

mmkay as long as you're tunnelled with a tiny bit of context you're likelihood of teaching the right conclusion is marginally higher. I'm not sure cramming that kind of obscure mechanic into a mini open game necessarily works but do you have a read on me forgetting to vote for leader?

That's my point...I'm saying you're not the type of person that forgets to vote for leader. I'm obviously not saying that from experience, I've never played with this mechanic with you before (or anyone) so I'm obviously not saying "well I remember last time we played this duckling voted every single night". I'm quite clearly taking the knowledge I have of you as a mafia player and extrapolating that into what I'd guess your actions to be. It's a guess, but it's educated.

Take into account that we had a scum-leader elected N1 by the barest of margins and a person claiming not to vote that night that I think is likely to be conscientious enough to always vote becomes awfully convenient.

Honestly I think it's about time we start looking at making the most of the leaders protection ability (allowing them to investigate in some way) rather than playing purely defensive with the picks. But then I've been against a 3rd instalment of FA for a few days now.

If both these conclusions were true to you, then why did you not voice shiro-town yesterday and not join the titus wagon?

I am pushing you not because you haven’t reevaluated yet, but because you instantly dropped a vote before you did.

I officially hate the Creature wagon. I want nothing to do with it.
Took me a second to put my finger on it but this.

Takes the time to do a bunch of work and then posts it to ... prove ... what? No re-evaluation and no real sign of anywhere near that for the Critter vote.
Spent over 7 hours on it on a shitty tablet that made hard as fuck to complete. With that kind of time investment, there was no way i was not posting it. Period

Mathblade, can you consider my active involvement in going against the sando wagon to promote the titus wagon? Because i think you might change your perspective on me if you investigated that
