Open 736: Diffusion of Power - Game Over

[Nicolas Cage]

I like how Carca isn't even pretending to have read the thread as outed scum but still somehow isn't lynched yet

I know we all want to be the dopest town that found all the best scum but at some point all the little sheep will come back and we will lynch Carca

[Nicolas Cage]

I am replacing on this account because I typo'd the name on the other one, sorry I forgot to wait for Teacher to post a note about it. The "NicHolas" account should be dead now so all future posts will be on this one.

[Nicolas Cage]

Obviously me too lol

I didn't even catch it until someone pointed it out to me and I've been googling memes all week

[Nicolas Cage]

Gamma and Spoog, can you both give full read lists?

[Nicolas Cage]

Gamma and Spoog, can you both give full read lists?

[Nicolas Cage]

You don't think we should get their reads on everyone else? wtf?

[Nicolas Cage]

Or maybe I don't want to further influence their reads lists? Stop tunneling me, play better.

[Nicolas Cage]

Well, Gamma has certainly put some work into reads, Spoog has refused to give a list even though that's what I was waiting for, and M&M has abandoned Gamma. Not sure what to do with that last bit but ok.

If Spoog flips town then I think we'll have more to work with in finding Gamma's partner.

My main concern is that Gamma's reads seemed a little bit political. I guess M&M observed this for his slot and I kinda felt like Gamma was dancing around my slot as well.

But I don't know that's enough because I also somewhat got the sense that for at least some slots Gamma was trying to sort, and I'm not really getting that from Spoog right now. Spoog seems to be mostly playing the newbie card.

Honestly I've had a hard time getting either one of these slots outside of null. The main thing I had liked about Gamma was Gamma's interaction with Spoog earlier so trying to re-evaluate that part of the game is throwing me off.

[Nicolas Cage]

you know what

VOTE: Gamma Emerald

I think it'd be easier for Gamma to fake the pokemon interactions than spoog

[Nicolas Cage]

What “Pokémon interactions”?

Back on page 9 of the game thread, your interaction with Spoog had initially struck me as possibly T&T. Seems like not now tho but that was what informed my read before so that's what I went back to now

[Nicolas Cage]

For Spoog I felt like creating pet names or jokes for every slot reflected engagement, that they were thinking about the slot and having fun with it. I feel like I see that sort of stuff more from town.

I felt like Gamma was trying to get past the jokes and get on the same level as Spoog which also seemed townie. Clearly I was wrong about one of the two, and looking at it now I guess Gamma's comments might have just been something in the ballpark of iioa, whereas my thoughts about Spoog kinda remain the same. It's not that I scumread Gamma for page 9, it's that there has to be scum in one of the two and for me Spoog still seems a bit townie from that interaction.

VOTE: Spooghetioso

[Nicolas Cage]

That's IF you were protected last night. There is still a distant chance that the remaining PR is a N5 Cop or a N5 Doctor even, and scum just didn't shoot last night (yeah, that would be really bad play, but it's still a possibility).

Yeah I'm thinking A50 is last scum.

[Nicolas Cage]

I didn't save skitter so implosion is confirmed town. (barring some true shenanigans)

We can mislynch me tomorrow if absolutely necessary but last scum has to be in A50/cmod/N_M and I'm strongly leaning A50 here.

Skitter conftown, implosion conftown, M&M conftown -- that's a massive conftown block so this game is probably won even if we mislynch me tomorrow.

[Nicolas Cage]

I find the idea that scum no killed implausible

[Nicolas Cage]

I can't imagine a scenario where scum no kill when there's already a guilty on Spoog. Just look at our numbers lol. Last scum did a gambit in an earlier dayphase. A50's claim seems the most suspect to me so it's probably him.

[Nicolas Cage]

n5 doc

[Nicolas Cage]

I have no bloody mechanical reads. All I have is tone and gut

I don't want to lynch: PP/M & M/Creature/Gamma/BuJ/N_M/implosion/Spoogheti/skitter

This leaves Carcalilly/CreativeMod/Lovebird for my D1 lynch pool.

That doesn't mean I TR all of those I don't want to lynch. I just feel that some can be sorted out later, and some can be valuable assets if town (so basically need Cop checks on as many of them as possible).

I also have nothing against the 3 I can lynch except I don't feel like they've been doing anything that helps me read them better.

Maybe let Lovebird live today too, as I think there are other players here capable of reading her?

Eh.. I've just checked the activity, and Carca has 48 posts already, yet I can't remember a single thing she said that makes me not want her out of this game.

Incredibly he does not vote Carca for another 500 game posts and another 50 iso posts.

@Creative:

01. Almost50 (Good as scum)
02. PenguinPower (not quite sure myself. @PP: Did I witness your scum game?)
03. Music and Mail (Great as scum)
04. Creature (bad as scum)
05. Gamma Emerald (moderate as scum)
06. BuJaber (Fairly good as scum)
07. Not_Mafia (most players can't tell)
08. CreativeMod1 (that's you. I don't know)
09. implosion (Fairly good as scum .. I think)
10. Lovebird (Good as scum)
11. Spooghetioso (No idea. He's new)
12. skitter30 (Good as scum)
13. Carcalilly (I personally don't know her )

That's my take on people here. Note that this only the rating of their SCUM game, which is what should concern you more. Like, for instance.. Creature is a Very Good TOWN player.

So, M & M (RC in particular) is a scary scumster to most of us, and we want to know if we can at least take his words and views as being honest and sincere. This is why most of us would be for a check there ASAP.

Carca's scum, we both know that, let's hit scum today and then reevaluate tomorrow.

That's fine by me.

VOTE: Carca

So, finally votes Carca after shading the slot for 500 posts. Meanwhile he sets up to mislynch my slot while continuing to distance his buddy and keep pressure on M&M.

VOTE: Nicolas Kim Copola

Unloading from the bus to get on to me when push comes to shove.

[Nicolas Cage]

Sorry if concession is disappointing, I strongly considered doing a faceoff with A50, but the game has seemed hopeless since the failed kill on Skitter.

[Nicolas Cage]

Really didn't want a red role PM when I replaced in. It was fun rolling with Spoog and Carca even if we got destroyed by night actions

[Nicolas Cage]

I submitted a night kill before conceding; it's noted in the mod thread (skitter kill was a success).

[Nicolas Cage]

RC I think I'm gonna close this alt. Who did you think I was?

[Nicolas Cage]

Send me a PM. I'm thinking you were wrong too tbh but I can confirm you were wrong

[Nicolas Cage]

yeah i was pretty confident he was lying about that lol

You & RC didn't buy the N1 part I guess, but the important thing is the scum team did.

technically to not kill cmod all we had to do was believe that there was *a* N1 doc, which there was (M&M). Most of our conversation was Bujaber vs. Skitter vs. Creature. We went with Bujaber because I was hoping to bait the lynch/cop targets and wanted to basically open wolf with nightkill targets which hopefully would have pushed suspicion off Carca. I thought I was going down D2... 0.o

[Nicolas Cage]

M&M at that point was my only path to victory considering he was the ONLY person saying to lynch anyone other than me

[Nicolas Cage]

Was there a dead thread?
