As you walk towards the casino, you can’t help but feel a rush of adrenaline course through your body from anticipation. Feeling energized, you strut into the building with thoughts of glory and prize money on your mind.

A tall, stern-looking man greets you as you walk in, but instead of leading you to a table, he quickly ushers you away from the floor and into a small, nondescript side room. You recognize some of your other competitors, sitting in silence and looking determined to avoid making eye contact with one another.

The same man walks to the front of the room and says, “I appreciate your patience. You must be wondering why we have brought you here today.

We have video footage of three masked figures breaking into the casino stockroom yesterday evening. Due to the high stakes nature of this event, we have suspended the competition until the perpetrators can be identified. As competitors with motive, you are now our primary suspects in this investigation.”

A few unintelligible murmurs resonate throughout the room, but the man clears his throat and continues, “Luckily, we can narrow down the pool of suspects a bit further. I have already questioned Creature, and he was able to provide a solid alibi for his whereabouts last night.”



Creature has been revealed as the Innocent Child.

I don't think A50's perspective on those voting the IC seems real.

In post 206, ruru wrote:VOTE: FrankJaeger
Good vote, but don't naked vote :(

Regarding ruru and skitter - I personally don't think it's that good a plan to PL skitter if she happens to be on a ruru mislynch (which mind you will have at least 4 townies on it). Granted, I have played one game with ruru and none with skitter but... I just wanted to get it out there. (however scum!ruru doesn't have any benefit making this plan so this isn't a scumread by any means)

Honestly it feels like all of the other stuff besides skitter/ruru is some talk about the setup and some continuing on the thing with sky being a traitor. I'll put A51 in my townpile for now for 1) a pretty okay thought process and 2) putting that wacky assumption/read out there.

I don't think Gemerald has contributed a lot or made a significant impact for someone with 16 posts. Kinda feel the same about Vex who has done a looooot of setupspec and asking questions which... doesn't quite put him in my townpile... (and using u and y over you and why is only strengthening that! :P)

Creature seems kinda town, idk why, call it a gut read.


I like Enigma, feel he was sort of townie being present and figuring out the ruru/skitter and traitor!sky things

I like ruru so far

No big fan of Frank either for the same reasons as Gemerald/Vex

VOTE: Gamma emerald let's do this for now I think!

I'm reading him for the same reason as Gemerald, who has had a little more posts and some longer ones I felt. But honestly they're at the same level for me.

I'm not quite sure what you expect me to say. If you have an argument you are welcome to use it. I do recall faking a guilty on someone who flipped townie (and I presume that's the game you're referring to) but I don't recall voting a confirmed IC while I was fully aware of their status.

You are more of an orthodox player, while I'm the exact opposite. (You know how to obv!town for starters, while if I tried that I end up looking far more scummy than if I deliberately tried to act scummy!!)

So, it's very normal .. very natural to me that you, Enigma and most others would fail to see it my way (regarding what Sky did) for you would have to be me (or someone crazy) to even look at it that way.
i mean i kinda buy that this is something you'd base a read on; i'm just noting that for me the avatar thing just doesn't have ai implications either way; it's not something i can use to form a read

There's nothing manipulative in his posts so far. His progression feels natural and coincides with what I'd expect from him at this point. Even his reads are more or less close to mine. Why is he a suspect to you?

he isn't particularly a suspect; he's kinda hard-null; like i don't think anything he siad was particularly townie or impossible for scum to fake, nor do i think that it's scummy either

i don't really have a read on him either way so i was interested in your read

i would tell u to go look at my mains games but thatd defeat the entire point of using an alt w/ a different typing style
tl;dr is that i ask a lot of questions as town
also, im using u and y over you and why to try to distance myself from my main. do u have a problem with that?

is everyone really that townie or am i just bad at the game?

havent really seen anything else that calls my attention and my reads list from earlier is mostly the same still
i think skitter + enigma are town, a50 + sky could be town, but im not really sure. kinda inclinded to believe that sky is town bc of the changing avatar thing
everyone else is kinda hanging out around null

@hws still waiting on ur stance on sky

also thinking about it some more, @hws why is asking a lot of questions not townie to u?
the entire point is to get someone to clarify their stance no?
if ur forced to clarify what u mean itd help everyone no?

Okay let's do this

I think hws could be scum. I'm not super confident because he has a lynchbaity meta, but, brief case:
In post 146, HeWhoSwims wrote:Good try, though, I can see it make sense but I think this might just be sky being sky lol
This feels like a tmi post, especially the words "good try". I don't strongly agree with a50's moonscumcase nor his moontowncase on sky, but I'm nulltowning her in part because of this post. (I still think voting the IC is still policy lynchable btw)

I voted frank and hws is townreading me, but he chose to vote GE instead (who had no votes on him) even though he says they're equally scummy and scummy for the same reason when I think normal town behavior would be to sheep my vote

I think frank is on the policy lynchable side of nullscum but when someone is leaving a weird associative I'd rather lynch the giver than the receiver.

your use of "here" makes me think part of this is meta so if ur going to do that, plz link one recent scum and town game tia
