Also, I have never played with anyone in this game before except BuJaber, so this should be interesting. (I swear my meta has improved, BuJaber.)

This phrase is more sus than anything in this thread, and especially so since you're not new and know fully well that an early wagon is always
good
and rarely ever leads to a lynch.

That said, you assessment of BuJaber could've sounded Townie to me,
except
if you really are scum and are afraid to you might get lynched before you convey your thoughts to your p.

The way you initially phrased it was "he's a VT", before you backtracked to state he's unlikely scum but could indeed be a TPR. See where the contradiction is? You didn't say he's likely Town or likely not scum in your initial statement, but only after having been pressured did you revert to that.

So, rather than a pressure wagon to get us of RVS I', considering yours a serious wagon now and my vote is now for real.

Preliminary reads:

BuJ is Town
Egg is Town
Manatee likely Town

And if Inferno flips red the other is very likely to be GameNBurger (fits the description as the RVS vote of the p AND the silent p who didn't get to vote in RVS. In fact, he never even posted yet).

In post 50, Inferno390 wrote:Ah, but you see
While it is true that “BuJ is likely Town” DOES NOT mean “BuJ is likely VT”
“BuJ is likely VT” DOES mean “BuJ is likely town”
Those are not two interchangeable points.
OK, let's consider the possibility that you really are Town and my point is flying right over your head, so let me ask you this:

1- What is your duty as a town player? Is it finding out who's town and who's scum or is it finding out who's a PR and who's not?

2- Now what is the scum duty? Is it finding out who's town and who's not or is it finding out who's a PR or who's not?

If you know the answers to both these questions (and I'm sure you do now) I don't see my original point alluding you anymore.

Now what did you say? You specified the ROLE. What is a Townie's main concern? It's the ALIGNMENT. Whose concern is it to find PRs? SCUM. Clear? I believe it should be.

@BuJ: Yeah, it started like a mechanical read, but his reaction was doubling down on it rather than acknowledging he made a mistake. IMHO, a townie response was to stop when he said you could be a PR still and say spoke too fast or something. But he went on against odds (and logic) to try and convince me "likely VT" is indeed interchangeable with "likely Town".

Question: why not vote manatee yourself?
Well, because I firmly believe in lynching a VT claim on D1. This will force the Scum to claim a PR (the PR they're immune to) as a last resort before they eat rope. I am already on Inferno though, so can't do that to him, but if Manatee is @L-1 and claims VT I'm going to hammer him.

Iirc, you said yourself that discussing PRs is anti-town. I agree and think the same applies to discussing optimal scum tactics. Do you disagree?
This isn't just "optimal", it's a rule (unless they really really don't know how to play the game).

But the reason I said that is to alert the
TPRs
that's what's gonna happen, so if we get a PR claim they
do not CC
(and if they flip overnight we will know whom to lynch anyway). The TPR will now take that claim and avoid targeting that person becasie they know this is the scum that is IMMUNE to their action.

With some luck the TPR may catch the OTHER scum overnight and then they can claim on D2 leading to a town win with 2 successive lynches.

I don’t like someone just sitting at L-1, becuase scum can quickhammer if they want(bad idea, but still)

You are also the one I trust most on the wagon, so I am comfortable leaving you with a vote
Manatee is scummy IME, I don’t know how to feel about burger, and Poseidon is legit null.
This is my exact lynch pool. I will unvote, but let it go on note that we should've got a claim already and Inferno didn't give one despite the fact he has been @L-1 for long enough (and has posted since too).

VOTE: GameNBurger

@Burger: I'd say Poseidon is my null read. I;s also rule out you+Inferno as a team.

So, to me it's Inferno+Manatee or GameNBurger+Manatee, but if Manatee flips Town then I'd look at Poseidon before I look at any other.

No. Actually ^this^ is scummy. Deadlines were meant to be as an "if needed" not a "must be".


You holding the game hostage and driving everybody bored to death isn't exactly the towniest way to play, and is indeed a scum tactic that is quite common on MS.

THIS is the issue now. You're being stubborn AND condescending. You think everyone else is wrong and your way is the correct way to play. And NO, I don't know how you play. As far as I can remember I only played you as a head of a hydra. It's not like we've been playing lots together.

Frankly, I am starting to lose my motive to
win
the game. Left to my own devices I'd much rather penalize you for the way you play (and especially so for refusing to claim @L-1 with intent stated).

That being said, I don't want to be an ass to everybody else who are not you, so I'll take a deep breath and keep on reading.

P.S. Everybody's lurking because
there is nothing much for anyone to discuss anymore
. If you think otherwise, then please do speak of the subject(s) we've been missing. So NOT ask anyone else to talk about x, y and z. Speak about them yourself. Otherwise, we all agree there's nothing "we" have to say anymore.

You probably mean 112, don't you? 122 was a response to Fromage exclaiming about 112.

I'll try to simplify the logic for you: If you're scum and you claim the PR you're NOT immune to you might get a CC and get lynched. But then your p will only know the PR who he is immune to anyway, so he doesn't gain much from it.

So, you claim the PR that you are immune to and hope they CC so that your sacrifice turns the game into am all VT one.

How's THAT getting my partner's attention? Unless you're implying I'm either scum with YOU or Manatee (whom you refuse to bloody vote still).

Then 181 clearly has you as a SR, so "the same sort of question for" isn't the term, but maybe "a different sort of question" is.

I ruled out you with Burger because of his attitude towards you. He did put you @L-1, wants you to claim, and is still voting you as far as I know. You don't see the progression? You're simply neither reading the thread nor playing the game!

Now if you would be so kind as to vote Manatee and have Eragon put him @L-1 (so he could follow your example and refuse to claim) I would be much obliged.

Thanks in advance.

Do you stand by this? Would you care to make it an official explicit claim?

I believe I've given my thought in real time about most everyone. Go ahead and ISO me.

As for being scummy in general: "ain't that the case for me with you like
always
?". Too bad the duck isn't in this game to tell you I'm 100% town here. You should just ISO me in a recent scum game of mine to see the difference (and I don't just mean in what I post, but in what could be the motive behind what I post).

Let me give an example or two:

1- You're pretty much lynchable to me here. Why am I holding back and giving you your space?
2- Tor is @L-1 and I could have hammered, especially since I already said I would if we got a VT claim. Why would I want to wait for him to talk more?

Now you already know I don't play the conventional way everyone expects a player should, neither as Town nor as Scum, so you gotta look deeper not just at what I say but for the reason I say what I say. ;)

A50 can you help me see what changed your read on manatee between these posts?
Well, manatee was "likely" town. Between these two posts he posted only once and it was a one-liner. I felt as if he "holding back" and happy to see the pressure go elsewhere. That and the wagon composition at the time was townie to me.

The reason I asked Inferno -precisely- to put manatee @L-1 is I suspected the two may be partners. I had a couple of scenarios in my mind, and would reevaluate accordingly.

Spoiler: @Wh4t
One of those was for Inferno to refuse to vote manatee (which was the case). It doesn't give me much but it "might" point to Inferno actually being a townie who doesn't SR manatee, or he could be scum with manatee and thinks manatee is the better player of the two.

Another was for Inferno to comply, and that would have been scummy bc he could be Scum trying to redirect the lynch elsewhere.

Then if Inferno voted manatee I would have looked at manatee's reaction. Again, keeping his vote on Inferno wasn't gonna give me much because he is either a townie who SRs Inferno, a Scumster who needs to keep the counterwagon alive, or even a scumster with Inferno who thinks this is the best way to look like they're not partners.

manatee unvoting though would point to them being scum partners and that they decided that manatee is the lynch for some reason, because I don't see town!manatee who was voting a genuine SR in Inferno deciding to unvote when Inferno has just put them @L-1, nor can I see scum!manatee doing that if Inferno is Town.

Suffice it to say things didn't exactly go the way I wished for them to go, and Inferno not voting manatee at that point denied me a chance of developing a better read on both slots.

I'm not quite sure how to handle the situation with Tor here. I know he doesn't like to play scum, but I don't know if he would give up so easily. It's still safer to just hammer the claimed VT IMHO, but I will wait for everyone else to say they're ready to end the day.

My own last words of the day: If Tor flips Scum my biggest suspect for a p is Burger.

If Tor flips Town though I'd have to reevaluate all my reads overnight. Let's hope he does flip red as it would make the game much easier for me (since the 4 on the wagon would be even stronger TRs for me than they already are).

@Tor: Your 20 now over 60. Your time is up, my friend. Please make sure you post everything you want to in the next 45 minutes. If you're town it will help us all (I still remember we had complimentary reads in the last game we played together were I was SRing one scum and hard TRing the other and you were SRing the one I TR and TRing the one I SR, so believe me when I say I will take your reads into consideration if you flip green). If you're scum though feel free to save your effort cuz I
am
hammering you and then I'm not gonna look back at anything you said.

@Burger: The "safer bet" is to always lynch the claimed VT on D1. You
know
a TPR doesn't claim VT @L-1, so we're guaranteed a no TPR flip for starters. It also prevents running up a real TPR who will then have to claim and be outed unnecessarily. So, on D1.. always vote the scummiest player, and if they claim a VT just lynch them.

It wasn't meant to be related to your alignment and/or the read on your slot. It was a reminder that IF you flip Town I will look back at what you said.

Because you're not exactly the Town!Tor I know. If I'm wrong then at least we're lynching a VT and no TPR has been exposed.

VOTE: Toranaga

P-edit: WTF??? How can you "have no sympathy if he's town because he basically gave up." and unvote him at the same time?

Have you considered the possibility he might be angry for getting lynched through no fault of his own? I mean, BuJaber explicitly said the vote was bc of Manatee, you were voting him for no good reason (from his own perspective) and so am I.

UNVOTE:

If this flips scum I'll feel like I got a new stain on my reputation (which isn't "a great scum hunter" anyway).

@Tor: In the last game (of Neighborhoods) you eventually did come up with someone who you were confident was scum. Do you have any similar feelings here? What's your read on GnB??

When you show anger over being lynched or being about to be lynched I consider that AtE.

We're not at war here and you're not gonna really die. It's just a game and -obviously- you are well respected and loved here, so I don't see why you've been too emotional of late. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe you're genuinely upset for some reason, and if that's the case then I'm sorry.

I'm doing a full reread of the whole game from a new fresh perspective. I'm currently on page 6, and I have 2 things to say:

1- BuJaber is TOWN and I'm willing to bet the game on this FACT.
2- Although Inferno's posting is really really bad; it doesn't have that feel of "scum planning" to it. His votes are all around and he doesn't care to vote any precise wagon in particular. I'd say this is either bad town posting or really bad scum voting.

P-edit: GOOD! That makes 2 of us, and we should be able to compare our findings/reads.

I finished my reread and have a
completely
different view of the game now. I think scum are in Eragon/Fromage/Poseidon (in that order).

VOTE: Eragon

Eragon has been doing some townie stuff indeed, but taking a look at the bigger picture they seem to have been done for show. He often tried to feed the fire (especially on the Inferno/Manatee slots) but stayed uncommitted (by vote) for most of the time. If you take his posts separately you will probably TR him for each single one of them, but combined they didn't give the same impression. Also for example is scummy enough on it's own.


I know this one's gonna be met by some strong opposition by many who have been TRing Eragon hard, and while I have played him before I do not have a strong meta on him either, so this is a read based purely on his play/posts in this thread.

If this flips scum then the cross voting with Fromage feels off. However, Poseidon being totally unavailable if late gives me the irks too.

P-edit: Oh, well. Tor caught me red handed. What can I do? *Shrug*

You claimed VT. Scum don't want to lynch a VT, or -at least- not before outing a PR. "Let's switch to someone else and see what they claim".. then if that's a PR .. WELL DONE. If not, then they don't need to worry about two slots, which helps when deciding on the NK. Simple.

I haven't
completely
ruled you out as scum. I just think it's very unlikely for you to be, and I'm willing to try and work with you for today in an attempt to actually lynch scum.

Ye, I completely lost this game, I get good about it the beginning, but ~page 10 I just lost all my WIM(which, for whoever asked it, basically stands for whim of the game and your activity and drive). I’m hoping to get back into it soon, but I’m just kinda bleh rn
The remark about activity concerns Poseidon. Your activity is plausible. I had to check on one of your most recent scum games though to verify you do post that much as scum (you had over 190 posts in one day phase, and it ended with your lynch as the Mafia Roe Cop, if it helps you recognize what game I checked. You were a replacement that came in on D3, as far as I can remember).

In post 512, Wh4t wrote:I would've appreciated a reasonable response to you calling for a lynch on a claimed VT so early.
I did explain it before.. twice actually in this game. I simply think hammering a VT claim provides the PRs with a better chance of surviving through N1. I acknowledge lynching a scumster is even better but we ran someone and they claimed VT, so we either lynch them or run up someone else and risk outing a PR (most players appear scummy when they rand a PR).

As for the scum team making moves based to "counter" my directions, that would be GREAT because what I said was optimal scum play AND how the Town PRs should react to it. Do you think claiming a VT and getting hammered is a better option for them? Because Tor didn't know I wasn't gonna hammer him at that point. Anyone else who claims VT
would
be hammered (unless we're all morons and want to keep running people up until we do get a PR claim).

It was also mentioned before that the Mafioso may decide to claim the PR they are NOT immune to instead (because I said optimal play is to claim the one they're immune to in hopes to draw a CC and then their p shoots the outed PR and the other becomes effectively a VT anyway). Let them do that and I will out my counter move when/if we get a PR claim.

Can scum leave the claimed PR alive to WIFOM the town? They may, but then that could still bite them in the rearside. So, ANYTHING they do to counter my "best scum play" is actually to our benefit still. WHO hates for the claimed PR to stay alive overnight? Who hates for a Mafioso to claim VT and get lynched instantly? Who hates for them to claim the opposite PR and be countered by another move? I have it all under control. :wink:

P-edit:

VOTE: Poseidon

Can we please stop swinging between wagons? Make up your minds. Do we want to go down the safer route and lynch the claimed VT or do we want to lynch scum (and take a chance on outing a PR)? DECIDE ON THAT before you vote.

I already said it before many times, my friend. Optimal play should have been to lynch Tor regardless. I am not as sure as you that he will flip scum, but in these kinds of setups optimal play on D1 is to hammer the VT claim.

This was a perfect example. Kop was pushed to L-1 on D1 and claimed VT. Had he been hammered on the spot it would have made the game much easier (he was the Mafia GF)

Eragon asked me to unvote Inferno (now Wh4t). This doesn't make me feel comfortable calling Wh4t town. Then again, maybe Inferno being stubborn about not claiming gave Eragon the impression he might be a VT? I wouldn't make that assumption myself if I was Eragon, but maybe he did and maybe Wh4t is town. *Shrug*

I'm concerned you're not strong townreading me by now A50. Also, the PR speculation here is weird in that I wouldn't expect a townie to think about my likelihood of being a PR and then to bring it up unprompted as a reason to shade Eragon, when I haven't claimed. You seem to be thinking from the POV of scum here.
I'm speculating about what might have gone through Eragon's mind not mine. This "speculation" is the reason I'm not locking you as scum when he does flip scum.

Put another way, I can't find a reason for Scum!Eragon to "lighten up" on Inferno before he got a claim out of him, so you should be next when he flips scum... UNLESS he thought Inferno was VT by play or meta...

We've already discussed this. BuJ even pointed out how it was OBVIOUS it wasn't a hammer. I'm of the opinion he wanted an out from that lynch because Tor already claimed a VT and Eragon is actively hunting for the TPRs.

As for "orchestrating"; how's THIS for a direct instruction to his scum p (not necessarily GnB, btw):

be for Tor to not give up, or it could be for GnB to not hammer, or it could be for "someone else" to not attempt to hammer. If Eragon is the kind of player that I think he is, GnB and BuJaber were inserted in these two posts for WIFIM to establish false connections with the two. The reason I
totally
rule out BuJaber from being scum with Eragon is I know BuJ is not the kind of player to take directions from Eragon. In fact, BuJ is kind of stibborn and would probably have hammered Tor upon seeing Eragon's message (except he was already on the wagon, but still.. BuJ doesn't like to be instructed on how to play)

See? That's the second time you claim unprompted. You did it implicitly in , which I get is meant to explain why you're alive by LyLo. Here you're still fighting the lynch despite the fact you directly are responsible for outing one PR, but you won't go down until you've found the other. GOOD LUCK with that though.

STATS say town has a BETTER WINNING RATE when the numbers by day are ODD. If we no-lynch then we go to night phase as 9, and we go into D2 as 8 << EVEN NUMBER.

Further more, he ALREADY CLAIMED A VT. Scum won't shoot him anyway (and that's assuming he is town.. just for the sake of the argument). Scum won't be shooting Toranaga either. They probably won't shoot me or Fromage either
if we no lynch
. If we do lynch and he flips green (which he won't) they won't be shooting me either, while "when" he flips red they are going to shoot one of us because we become semi-confirmed (unless you think I bus my buddy this hard).

Is Fromage the only player in this game? Cuz the last time I checked there were 9 of us, and assuming I'm scum AND Fromage is pocketed, and my Scum buddy has the balls to oppose my lynch on D2 then there are FOUR others who would be happy to do it.

Now YOU answer me this: If I', scum, why am I pushing for your lynch? Why you precisely? You already claimed a VT. Right? You're not even one of the players who know me well enough to get an accurate read over time. Why am I not lynching Wh4t? Or BuJaber? Or even Tor? Now one of them could be my scum buddy, but at least two are town and they all have more credibility reading me than you.

Why am I not pushing a wagon on Egg or Poseidon or even GnB? I could be getting some good info if I pushed either of them thus narrowing down my "PR pool".

But I understand you have to fight hard because your p is not experienced enough to pull this one off on their own, so I'm not mad at you for doing what scum are supposed to do.

You see, this is STILL coming from a SCUM mindset. Reread what you've just typed. You are 100% certain Fromage is indeed a TPR and not fake claiming. Not a shred of doubt there. DESPITE THE FACT HE'S BEEN WITH ME ALL THE TIME, you still believe him to be a "pocketed" TPR and assert to the fact he is indeed a TPR.

In post 941, Wh4t wrote:A50 you have some explaining to do about your sudden confidence in Eragon being scum.
I did lay down my case on him. At first I thought he was playing like a PR (which explains why I hard TR'd him on the first half of D1). My 2 "other" candidates were BuJ & Fromage (bit only one of them I thought) so I'm fine with my TRs (even if I did reverse the one on Eragon).

When I did my reread I realized Eragon wasn't playing exactly as a TPR either, so I kinds saw his content with a different perspective. Probably a play style thing now that I know he was Town.

And once again my "principles" prove correct. We should have hammered Tor. If you like, go back and reread Eragon with the knowledge Tor IS scum and you will see how he would have been today's main suspect still if you had listened to me and lynched Tor upon his VT claim.

Btw, Tor is @L-1 in theory. I won;t be placing my vote on him now so he won't come in and hammer himself, but my vote is there in spirit.

I thought there was at least one scum on Fromage. Tor is scum. Eragon is Town. Wh4t is my 2md strongest living TR (now that BuJ has claimed), and I'm not sure about Poseidon.

In fact, if you're arguing Poseidon is Town bc he kept his vote on a claimed PR then Egg is Town for keeping his vote on Toranaga.

Check this out:
Inferno390 (4): Almost50,
ManateeDude,
Poseidon, GameNBurger (L-1)
Toranaga (4):
Eragon,
Egg,
BuJaber,
Wh4t (L-1)

If what is Town then why wouldn't Egg join the wagon on Manatee? But more importantly, why would he be more interested in joining Toranaga's wagon??

From that same VC

Wh4t (2): Toranaga, Poseidon
Toranaga (4): Eragon, Egg, BuJaber, Wh4t (L-1)
GameNBurger (2): Fromage, Almost50

Not Voting (1): GameNBurger

So Poseidon was next to Tor on Wh4t (an attempt to save Tor), and GnB was not voting (sometimes they just wait and hope their p won't get lynched).

So I say Egg is the towniest of the 3, and the other scum is between Poseidon/GnB

@BuJ: Mate, I had you as a string TR for the whole of D1. When you insisted I was scummy I thought you mistook me for a PR and was trying to protect me from the NK by keeping me in the lynch pool. Right now I don't understand why you still think I'm scummy after the flips and the confirmation you yourself got that Tor is indeed scum and should have been lynched.

In post 955, BuJaber wrote:If he were more stubborn we would have lynched tora yesterday.
How much more stubborn did you expect me to be when I kept my vote on Tor while the Eragon wagon was building and said I won't switch unless there was enough support? If there was not enough support to the Eragon wagon was still pushing for Tor's lynch.

Mate, who put Tor under the microscope anyway? I did.. and before he even posted (well, after he posted but those were deleted bc he didn't confirm). What sense is there for scum me to point out Tor doesn't like to play scum and assume he didn't post (before the mod corrected that)?

And this reminds me that Egg agreed to my PoV eventually (when the mod confirmed Tor opened his role PM). One more reason why I don't think Egg is Tor's p.

I think it's Poseidon though, That L-1 is for Tor to self-hammer and/or to encourage someone else (a townie) to hammer and end the day fast. If you don't want the hammer to fall you simply don't put someone @L-1 and say "don't hammer".

Hint: I probably was the one expected to hammer because I wanted Tor's head anyway and I'm known to respond while catching up, so I could have done it inadvertently!

Another hint Egg is clear. If we lynch Tor and then his p kills someone (BuJ) we are 4-1 tomorrow. Lynch me and we are 2-1 on D4. Kynch Egg and scum win.

If we are naive enough to believe Tor (that BuJ is faking the guilty) then we lynch me and then BuJ dies and we are 3-2 already tomorrow, so lynching Egg = Scum win.

Anyway you slice it I don't see Egg flipping red here.

Oh damn WAY back with the cryptic poem/lyrics. So, we get one inkling of LAMIST and a plethora of scum actions.
Spoiler:
- Early wagon pushing
- Opportunistic for inactivity (regardless of read)
- Attempting to hammer on a town claim with no proof, even though there were 5 VT's in total at the time, thinking it would give us some kind of safer alternative, when it really just throws the game more in favor of scum if there's a townflip
- claims to have given reads on most everyone, when (up to this post) there was only ONE post about such ()
- Reconfirms hammering a VT claim
- Unvotes on someone he's been threatening hard with a hammer
- Enter the Eragon wagon which is backed up by "he's been townie but this one post seems really scummy"
Need I go on?
There we go. An explicit scum claim.

"Attempting to hammer a town claim" doesn't go with any logic knowing Tor IS scum not Town. Why would you even assume a "Town flip" there when BuJ has already claimed a guilty? And how would my push to hammer SCUM be considered "scummy"??

Oh, yes please.. do go on. :P

Not pointing the finger against Bu, but wouldn’t a town lynch today damn near solidify a scum win?

Down to
4 VT
1 PR
2 Scum

Lynch a townie, we’re down to 3 town 2 scum. And then it’s LyLo.
We really do need to be 100% on this vote today.
OK, so Posiedon is really inexperienced as scum. Maybe I will give you some tips post-game (just in case you roll scum with me in a future game). :P

Actually is like me playing on a Poker slot machine and having just won a hand I'm doubling down on picking the correct highest card of 5. :lol: Those were the days. (I almost never won though, but I had a friend who almost never lost even if he did it 3 times, so he would end up winning 8 times what he started with).

P-edit: COOL. Let's see what Wh4t thinks then.

Yes, Hold'em is the game, but if you win you get 5 uncovered cards (was it 5 or 4?) and then you try to guess the highest of them, and if you do your winnings are doubled. If you lose you forfeit your winnings.

Or maybe you get one flipped card and 4 unflipped and try to pick one that is higher than the flipped one? It's been over 20 years now so my memory isn't serving me when, especially since I prefer Black Jack over Poker (both live and slots)

Come to think of it, I'm assuming Wh4t would rather lynch the guilty today just to be sure. I mean, I could still be scum with BuJ and we want a mislynch on Poseidon today so we can be in LyLo tomorrow with a guaranteed lynch on Tor. After all, BuJ does NOT have to be the NK tonight since he's effectively a VT now.

Come on! Have you been reading my posts today? I pretty much cased Egg for Town and Poseidon for scum by VC analysis, and by analyzing Poseidon's posts today. Him instantly jumping on Tor then asking why >I< choose to believe everything so fast? Him saying me wanting to hammer Tor was scummy "in case of a town flip" then saying I was waiting for a CC (Tor had claimed VT and the post Poseidon's referring to was telling Tor I would hammer him when he confirms the claim). There's so much more in my ISO for D2.

NVM all that.. look at this:
In post 951, Poseidon wrote:
@BuJab
If he flips town, you’re up tomorrow.

VOTE: Toranaga
Don't you think is a n00b scumster trying too hard o look like townie? It goes w/o saying that if Tor flips green BuJ will get lynched next, so why the warning? It's called LAMIST.

Two posts later:
In post 954, Poseidon wrote:Don’t hammer yet, anyone (sorry for multipost). Still time to discuss
Still LAMIST. Why put caught scum @L-1 then ask nobody hammers? Tor could've easily hammered if he wanted to!

I mean, I dunno what else to say, but I can't see past Poseidon being scum here over GnB and Egg, and by a great margin too.

There are 2 scenarios:

1- Poseidon flips red (Which is what I'm expecting) = BuJaber "may" stay alive overnight (because him flipping Tracker confirms Tor as scum beyond any shred of doubt, so it's game over).

2- Poseidon flips green (very very VERY unlikely, so I'm including this just for theory) = BuJaber "most likely" stays alive and scum will argue he is faking (this is the scenario you may be afraid of).

But that means we have BuJaber alive to vote Tor, and either you or me (or both to spread the WIFOM). Let's assume you are the NK, then we have BuJ, myself, Egg and GnB to vote Tor. If Poseidon flips scum there will be virtually no resistance to the lynch bc the town will still have a mislynch anyway AND BuJaber is scum by virtue of faking a guilty.

If Poseidon flips Town though then we have narrowed down the suspects list according to our own will (you, me and BuJ) and Tor will have to be lynched still (his p cannot resist the lynch or he will be outed) and then BuJ eats a bullet on N3 and it's up to me to decide between GnB and Egg on D4. (Note: I'd vote GnB over Egg).

Now let's assume the unlikely (Poseidon flips Town) and then the unlikely (they shoot me instead of you), then you have control on D4.

Or maybe they shoot me on N3 and leave BuJ (the confirmed townie by then) to decide between the two.

But that's a step beyond what you're asking. If your worry is about the Tot lynch he will be lynched in all cases.

And if you find a loophole in this narrative then we just lynch Tor today and Poseidon tomorrow. I just proposed Poseidon today bc (a) U feel confident he is the other scum, and (b) because I'm crazy and I love to play unorthodox.

@Wh4t: And btw, I have a little something to admit to... even though I am town in this game, I'm still trying to mess with your mind a li'l so it won't be easier for you to read me in our next game together. :lol: This plan of mine is a bit scummy; nut when it unfolds and Poseidon flips red you will become more accepting of my weird approach to game theory, so the next time I roll scum in a game you're in you'd be more reluctant to suspect me for saying/doing something you deem strange or scummy! :P

It may be more fun to play in the less optimal way you propose but we'd be tilting the advantage in scum's favour and I would hate to become so overconfident in my reads that I gamble away the inevitable victory we would've had by playing traditionally.

My extreme paranoia of you is saying that it is still possible you're scum with Tor, and you are tilting the odds in your favour (by keeping town in Lylo) because it is unlikely you will be lynched if you dictate the play today.
I understand your paranoia and have come to accept it. No problem.

The advantage of lynching Poseidon (not a mislynch) is keeping BuJaber alive for one more day. Scum killing him = mod-confirming Tor as scum before his flip. Plain and simple.

Why is it more likely that scum would shoot me over you?
Because you're townier than I am. No one's gonna lynch you. Remember this was assuming we lynch Poseidon and he flips green, so Tor is still in the game and he has spewed you town already, but is keeping me under suspicion. That and the fact I'm the one who came up with the idea of lynching Poseidon over Tor to begin with, so if he flips green I'm very much in contention for the lynch. I was also responsible for the mislynch of Eragon.. so everything points to you being a stronger TR than I am to everyone.

You don't need a flip to believe me.

Under normal circumstances yes we'd have to go for the normal lynch and confirm my allignment.

Anyway we can lynch Tor if you want. It makes little difference.
manatee was scum and replaced out instead of playing out when all his posting was terrible and he was getting heat

kind of annoying tbh
Well, first: Thanks for replacing in despite that fact.
Second: You did pretty well with your AtE and managed to sway the lynch off you, albeit for one day, so you did well.
Third: Win or lose, the point is to have fun with good company. My priority is to have fun over winning (but of course I play to win, or there will be no fun if I don't try), which is why I wanted to lynch Poseidon today. It'd be much more fun to lynch "not caught scum: over the guiltied one. It also messes with Wh4t's mind and her reads on me in future games, so that's a plus (of course it messes with everyone else's minds, nut considering Wh4t is the one who almost NEVER TRs me the effect is greater there.) :P

@Wh4t: I'm fine lynching Tor anytime you want to.

SWEET!

THANK YOU BuJ & Wh4t for trusting me on "my way". It makes the win all so sweeter (let alone the game ended a day earlier). :]

Thank you for modding LMS.

Also, I've just read the dead thread. Poseidon was going to kill Egg?? That meant he would've been caught by Fromage. :lol:

So both PRs played GREAT. Wh4t did what she does best and that's OBV!TOWN.

Inferno I'd have to take note that he plays scummy as Town (for future reference).

And of course, Tor escaping the lynch on D1 and managing to garner a TR from Wh4t & Eragon was GREAT PLAY despite the eventual loss.

I can't really complain about anyone's play, but I wonder if Eragon is still persistent on me being scum. (he was still adamant in the dead thread) :lol:

Ftr, yes.. it was your push back on the Tor lynch that directly resulted in your lynch. Would you have felt differently if we switched places (i.e. knowing I'm Town and was 100% correct the VT claim should've been lynched)?
