If I wanted to pocket him then I wouldn't try to bug him, and if my purpose was to bug him then why the TR?
what if ur trying to confuse everyone?
also u trying to pocket and alienate me isnt working

Now think about me being the Traitor: Vig shooting me and me not dying is a red herring. They may assume they were RB'd on N1 so that saves me from the lynch, but then they're sure to try again on N2, and if I don't die I'm going to be lynched on D3 regardless.

Now, reread and recalculate.. does SCUM!ALMOST50 know all this, and still do what he is doing?? Why would scum!me be
baiting the Vig shot
at all????

ruru seems town to me too. skitter is competent and makes not-awful posts and i hope she's town but i still haven't gotten a good thing to get a grip on to really TOWNREAD her

enigma's posting is acceptable but i'm not really townreading him at all...?
enigma was kinda *present* during a lot of the discussions and his posting there feels kinda natural and game-solving-y if that makes sense

like his posts just sort of feel like coming from a town mindset; like it's possible that they're faked but idk they just kinda feel townie and kinda what i'd expect town to be thinking in those places. like it's no one thing i can point to just like overall tone + timing of posts

i'm actually beginning ot become concerned about ruru - i don't really feel like she feels like town!her right now

it was a thing in ranked games for a bit thats been mostly phased out by now
it helps scum more than town because then they know who to kill

You're misunderstanding. You even bolded what I said. I said L-2, and nobody claims @L-2. The competing wagons though show who votes whom and why. Later on we can reference that and look for clues. Check the last game on my wiki. We had a guilty on D2, and instead if lynching Toranaga (the guilty) I suggested we lynch their p, purely based on a voting pattern. I also Town cased Egg for voting a wagon on D1 and refusing to vote the other. Fortunately I earned the support and trust of the town and we did just that.. lynched the "other" Mafioso, and then the guiltied surrendered overnight. I do take VCA into consideration, and it helps me lots (I guess now it won't in this game because I said so explicitly, but I have other means if scum hunting, so no biggie)

If I wanted to pocket him then I wouldn't try to bug him, and if my purpose was to bug him then why the TR?

Also, you do realize I'm now the prime target for a Vig shot? In fact, here's a list of all possible TPRs in this setup:

- Roleblocker: Probably will consider targeting me, bit maybe I don't do the NK tonight

i'm finding this post confusing; it's written from like scum!you's perspective (i know that's what you're trying to show but it took me a few tries reading through it to figure out what you were trying to say)

i don't understand the bolded

i agree that scum!you would try pretty hard not to be a vig target unless you were bulletproof, in which case you explicitly would be imo

however, i also don't really think you're *baiting* the vig shot, so much as your actions may have inadvertantly made you a emi-decent vig target (we can also debate if you're a good vig target or not but eh); like i don't know if this is something you kinda planned so much as realized after the fact, if that makes sense

So, with the knowledge that I'm indeed the BP Mafioso, how about you reread my ISO and find my teammates. I gave you a big head start and you should be thanking me for it. :P

I'm confused

I don't feel like you should be copped or vigged tonight and definitely not both? Like the characteristics that make someone a good vig shot are opposite or orthogonal to the characteristics that make someone a good peek

Also we should be voting on the vig shot and like you could reasonably predict that I'm going to yell at everyone at some point today until it happens

I'm not sure why you think bugging vex is so likely to get you vigged either way

ok i retract being perfect at reading a50 because i played with him as jjd in a game and he was kinda moonlogic-y ate-y and i townread him for it but ultimately lynched him anyways because it was about to be a deadline and there wasn't a possibility of another lynch happening; he flipped scum

idk how i would have read him if i knew it was a50
