~You know who it is, silly. Does Chara post like this?
A major threat to both factions, hm? It's confirmed 11 town vs 3 scum, but it would've been somewhat entertaining if you "breadcrumbed" that you were an SK -ahem- I mean town vigilante.

This is sound.

My vote's on there in spirit as well.

Also Alchemist feels town.
UNVOTE:

~Jimothy
Okay, so you wanted to vote them in spirit but you couldn't. Did you have any other leads outside of Shoshin the worst that you would've liked to pursue at the time of making this post or was that the only slot you received scum vibes up to ?
In post 204, Alchemist21 wrote:I think mephisto giving outs makes them Town. Scum-to-Town wouldn’t give an out at all, and we know scum have daytalk so if they were scum together I imagine that giving them an idea on how to excuse their play would have happened in the scum PT. Town gives outs like that when they want to consider the possibilities without jumping the gun. It’s a fluffy slot but I think that’s mostly Ari being Ari.
Not really following this. Why does scum-to-town not give an out at all? Why does the described scum-to-scum scenario have to involve Mephistophanes 39 giving an out to Shoshin the worst at all?

why is activity now AI?

~ woof
It doesn't really look like a push to me, it just looks like they responded to Shoshin the worst's inquiry. Doesn't the post right above () fit along the lines described in of "pint is scummy because he did X"?

I like u r a person 2 for town quite a bit actually, and I would be willing to do my first active sort to them, Taly or Varsoon.

I think NicoRobin is a decent point to poke with a stick before deadline rears too close, but is a bad wagon to get going near deadline in case they are really just apathetic!town.

I don't know why pinturrichio keeps pushing their content back repeatedly but it's not a great look.

I didn't like the initial voting on

when I first skimmed through it, the reasons for a scumread there lacked substance (Prompting

to explain why he thought

I agree a bit on
Nico

"where's the scum at"

:/ I get my vote on

contradicts the above statement, but I'm working to change this.

Pint
pushing content back... not a great look? Or scum-indicative?
I thought ignoring
u r a person 2's
self-referential call for a wagon on himself by means of a vote over interaction was scummy. There is a part of me that thinks that scum would be looking for something to do outside of STW's wagon after it dissolved.

Mmm, yes. This is how I feel too.

I'm not taking
Pint
having to push his content back as scum indicative but I'm saying it would've been bad if posts along those lines continued, which I guess is pointless now.

Okay, so here's an expansion of the thought I briefed at the beginning of my - Alchemist has shown themselves to be a competent player in that he appeared active during and after RVS and easily adjusted into a neutral mediator role between Shoshin the worst and Varsoon. He takes multiple opportunities early on to appear present in the thread that seems crafted to achieve nothing but a sense of activity and general noise, but unlike other offenders of this act, shows that they have no particular interest in trying to wrangle active thread control, staying separated from those willing to fight each other over it. Town has no reason to engage with this type of engagement which allows presence but allows for separation from the events taking place for 20 posts, especially when they decide to make , which is a fairly analytical post to sort somebody as town using logic, right?

Except after Alchemist's ISO #0 to #20, he starts to move away from the early dispute and the problem is that his first post () in doing so feels artificial because when directly questioned, he points to the post as a reason to follow him as being town. was disconnected from his original line of thought in that I question if he actually thought of it in the first place. In sum, they've taken multiple stances but have retracted those stances to the point where he's been able to keep his options wide open outside of Varsoon/STW/Mephisto which are easy lynches to strike out as scum, while offering the overall illusion of coinciding ideas of being engaged and sorting the game state out, while failing to achieve either in any way that I believe in.

I could be wrong, but I'm comfortable with the rationale for my vote.

Lynch pool for being scummy: {Alchemist21, Almost Chara, Shoshin the worst}
Up for policy lynch: {Nancy}

Steamrolling with the biggest wagon that forms on any of these three + Nancy.

VC 1.11
u r a person 2 - obv town, thoughts/approach too difficult to emulate as scum
Shoshin the worst - scummy, trying to discredit any suspicion on them, trying to degrade Varsoon's read on them as much as possible when he's likely the N1 target
pinturicchio - 1168 reads as genuine town, but not 100% clearing - best attempt to read them is when they are fully capable of generating thoughts or when they get a replacement: probably not wagoning D1
NicoRobin - really really shitty deadline lynch, received how they responded to pressure, not AI imo and they aren't invested enough to counter the dumb meta arguments in thread that have been presented, asking for a no-info D2 walking into it with Varsoon/Nico dead and one ML down, also my scumreads are willing to push it so nope
Kokichi - would be surprised if this was the one time he flips scum and he opens on Almost Chara, not interested in lynch here and my scumreads are willing to push it so nope
Alchemist21 - fake as fuck progressions throughout the game + fencesitting "decision making" => hard SR but something to pursue at a later day phase for me, don't have the thread presence to push it through

Why a policy lynch on Nancy?

~Jimothy
It's how scum would respond from beginning to end. Me trying to push Alchemist through here requires thread presence I don't have - Nancy is acting as a huge obstacle to me pushing him at all and reflecting votes onto me in a very destructive manner.

Tl;dr, the rebuttal is how a scum responds and the basis of his approach to me isn't how town thinks. I'm not responding to a hard SR

On AC: They aren't a town read and I'm much more interested in exploring where Kokichi is going with this rather than discarding what he's saying completely and toss him into the "ML and ignore" pile. A50 has been notably "muted" in presence compared to what I expect from him in other games, so if someone has a chip on the Chara head then I'm willing to roll with a wagon on them.

So, rn, those two read the least towniest. Thinking Stw is wrong about Taly and RSC (PF), so maybe one of the lurkers but lurking is more town indicative for Kokichi than Nico but currently null on both and I agree with Taly about either being low info flips.

Did a quick search in Nancy's ISO, here are the posts that I think are completely bringing up vectors of attack that are almost entirely created to protect their TR, essentially they're constraining original thought process in the thread which isn't good especially when it's only D1. This is essentially a post dumping all of it in one area.

oh, it's here.
Mewtaph, i replied to Kokichi's assertions earlier. (he isn't correct. we recently finished a game together where he replaced into a towny slot and through inactivity i ended up scumreading him.)
there's no way to "wait and sort" Kokichi like he says i do
every single time
when he's town (i don't) if he is barely playing to begin with.

Almost is busy. is that just a general comment, or are you saying it's AI?
~Chara
I think him opening with a vote on you and pushing on it based on something you did qualifies as playing the game.

As far as Almost being busy, sure, but I need more from him because he's the head I am most equipped to try to read.

~Chara
It's hard to interact with somebody claiming to have a meta chip on you when they really don't. They need to knock it down a peg and SR me for in game reasons beyond "I didn't like his question to Gamma, that was the icing to the cake for Mew being scum aye". Or don't, that's their choice.

They
are
constraining play around their town reads. Sure, they can go and do that, but they don't need to form vectors of bullshit on other players in the process.

It was only a mod response to Varsoon's query. The flip could've been processed. Perhaps all it would've taken was for Varsoon to state his kill in thread in flavour and he just had to correct it to go through.

The casual sass feels misplaced when before they were in "give reads I'm about to get flipped mode".

So why say "#stillalive #stilltown" when you 100% could be dead if you have nothing that indicates you are safe from vig shots?

I don't know what you're trying to achieve with your posts other than discredit me and insist that I'm scum, and yes, I don't town read you at all for your approach to Varsoon.

There is. That's his first game-advancing content and completely misinterprets the second half of my question. His "I'm not redoubling on the mistakes I messed up" reads as AtE. I wouldn't buy it if I were you.
Why do either of these things actually come from scum tho?
This is tinfoil at best. Straight up.
Okay, so I'm responding to a town read who's asking me to double down on a reason why I scumread someone, and now you insist that I have to double down again for you even though I've practically entirely explored that particular reason extensively at this point? You can think it's bullshit or whatever, but acting like my reasoning is non existent is bullshit.

Don't act like what I'm saying is completely whoooshing over you every time. This is a waste of time.

I don't want to sort to your slot at all because I haven't found a reason to town read you guys. So I really am just going to duck out of the thread - if you so wish you can mull it over with other players like you are already doing but I don't want a part of this not right now.

Emphasis on joke. I was already laughing at the slot. His last post is just icing on the cake.
Okay, but this casual narrative you're trying to play out here doesn't fit the timeline. You were already laughing at the slot, except before you decided to go down the discredit and obtain from contributing elsewhere gameplan, your reaction to me holding onto a vote on you was anything but comedic. Explain to me how any content I make is "icing on the cake" now when the basis of your scumread is inherently based on riding the wave of consensus to try to ride me out the playerlist?

Fine, I'll play ball where you dismiss and misinterpret what I've down. The only thing that fits what you're saying remotely is to where I point out in that your response to my question was disconnected from your initial thought process and is hardly enough to say that I'm "blatantly making shit up about people".

Here's the post in question.
In post 297, Alchemist21 wrote:
In post 253, Mewtaph wrote:Not really following this. Why does scum-to-town not give an out at all? Why does the described scum-to-scum scenario have to involve Mephistophanes 39 giving an out to Shoshin the worst at all?
Scum to Town doesn’t because they want the pressure to stay on the Town slot.

And you’re with me on tbe scum to scum scenario, it doesn’t happen, at least not in the game thread.
It was. You tried to justify your first game advancing content via providing a town read on Mephisto. Scum-to-town makes absolutely no sense - they can approach the game state however they want given that there's almost no pressure directed their way. Scum-to-scum is similarly loose reasoning. The initial question was actually
why it happens
, which is part of the basis of your town read, and instead you decide to take some off-shoot path and suggest why "it doesn't happen, at least in the game thread" as if that was an answer to my question and I was totally following your reasoning the entire time.

The same thought process in you'd be well acquainted with as town given that you point it out as a reason to town read you when inquired upon.

By taking different ways to reach a conclusion to one town read, it feels more like you're trying to make your reads feel "complex" and hence townie but you can't even follow up on it.

So if we're talking about wheeling back and suggesting "inconsistencies" now, feels a lot more like you're trying to discredit my line of reasoning as much as you can, using your town cred to expend yourself of pressure. This isn't a townie thought process to be observing, it's a scummy one.

I’ve given thoughts on your slot. All you can do is make up shit about my posts and say “it’s not Town.”
You mean posts like , , and more?

What I'm saying in "actual thought process" is the process of sorting: which I've seen none from you at all.

In post 1322, u r a person 2 wrote:This is messing with my read because I'm not sure if this is some sort of gambit or if you sincerely misunderstand the logic. Make no mistake, Alchemist's logic is fine in these two posts.

Given, Mephisto gives an out to stw

Assert scum wouldn't give an out to town because it doesn't benefit scum to take the pressure off of town
Assert scum wouldn't give an out to scum because they would do it in scum chat

Conclude, mephisto must be town.

I'm not saying that I agree - scum might give an out to town under the right circumstances - but the thought process is consistent between the two posts and, imo, shows generally townie thought processes.

If this makes sense, please tell me how, if at all, it affects your read
I'm not pushing that his logic is inherently incorrect = he is scum. From a game context perspective, there's very little correlation between to to how it relates to Mephisto to Shoshin the worst. Their reasoning is kind of general on how scum might approach the situation (but not set in stone) and he uses that to create some complex line of thought where he ends at Mephisto being town. He hasn't really followed up on why he relates it to Mephisto to Shoshin the worst. Alchemist is saying in an interactions based way that Mephisto is town, but has no compelling reason to think in this way - it feels like trying to create a complex thought process when there's next to no point of going to this extent in justifying a town read that you could justify in several other ways than the one presented. Then he uses the same post as a strong reason to town read him when asked. That's why it feels insincere to me. It appears as a "complex" and hence townie thought process.

Following on my previous post. More specifically, it hedges on Varsoon vs STW which is a much more significant point of interest and making a strong conclusion there, while throwing out some sense of analysis that ends in Mephisto being town which is only really relevant in diffusing hostility between STW and Mephisto which is much less relevant. It's misplaced focus.

Tibor and Lumia - IDK, kind of decreased presence recently and I'm not sure how to interpret that. They've had a decent presence so I can probably form a read there with a little push with flip info later days

Taly - town, if scum then I'll just take the bullet

Michael Scott - Kind of scummy? I just might not like meta arguments but the vote on NicoRobin and "a scum flip would be helpful there anyway" kind of bothered me

pinturicchio - I think their approach is townie and they're town, feels a bit like a future ML setup and I'm just not very excited about it

Almost Chara - they can be a town lean for now. I think I jumped on them too hard for being scum without much reason

Kokichi Oma - his presence is kind of hit or miss, isn't it? I mean, I really don't know but it's not a lynch target given what I know about him

I'm doing my best not to let his absence change my read

but my reads elsewhere have evolved, mainly on stw, proflavor and strengthening of a couple town reads

and pintu's scum equity has increased as a consequence

why do you seem hostile to the idea of moving the wagon off of you and onto someone else?
Can you point me to where the basis of your scumread on pintu lies if it isn't for activity?

He takes multiple opportunities early on to appear present in the thread that seems crafted to achieve nothing but a sense of activity and general noise, but unlike other offenders of this act, shows that they have no particular interest in trying to wrangle active thread control, staying separated from those willing to fight each other over it. Town has no reason to engage with this type of engagement which allows presence but allows for separation from the events taking place for 20 posts, especially when they decide to make , which is a fairly analytical post to sort somebody as town using logic, right?

Except after Alchemist's ISO #0 to #20, he starts to move away from the early dispute and the problem is that his first post () in doing so feels artificial because when directly questioned, he points to the post as a reason to follow him as being town. was disconnected from his original line of thought in that I question if he actually thought of it in the first place. In sum, they've taken multiple stances but have retracted those stances to the point where he's been able to keep his options wide open outside of Varsoon/STW/Mephisto which are easy lynches to strike out as scum, while offering the overall illusion of coinciding ideas of being engaged and sorting the game state out, while failing to achieve either in any way that I believe in.

I could be wrong, but I'm comfortable with the rationale for my vote.
Yo
I want a reason for why you asked me how I read myself with no anticipated answer. That's a question people with pre-existing notions on the subject ask.
-Gamma Emerald, who is probably done for a while as his focus is broken
I expected no based off of your commentary in , but also some sort of clarification on engagement or activity. I thought your response was in line with what I expected. In terms of "open-ended", I was open to however you wanted to interpret it, though saying yes would be kind of a tonal shift off of what you already said so would require some follow-up or reasoning for me to verify. IIRC, you weren't appearing as much as Brass at that point which is why I wanted to get an answer from you then.

Yeah, I'm not super passionate about STW being scum enough to case them, but ultimately I'm comfortable with voting there considering momentum elsewhere seems dubious.

is enough that I am willing to reconsider how I feel about pintu on a reread. A scroll through tells me most of my read is based on which I shouldn't be using as basis for a read.

Well, for positions to be relevant then some actions need to be dependent in some way based on position, right? Mephisto's ability isn't gated through positions though, and Varsoon's is implied not to be. So instead, it could be plausible that any scum player can make the night kill, but they'd have to be within X range. This would make Mephisto's flipped watcher role, for example, much more likely to find results, if say, a mafia member could only make the kill if they were within 2 positions away.

(This is mostly a prodge tbh.)

For the record, I probably would've hard defended Creature if Taly was still in that slot. Optically I was willing to see them as town - the naked votes in their timing are kind of self explanatory in that sense.

Understand that read progression got my head nearly cut off so was pretty tentative to make any moves that would give scum any reason to throw shade on my slot.

The way that wagon formed wasn't good.

I can have thoughts out of thread, just because I only made a few posts on D2 doesn't mean that I ceased having thoughts during that time.

By the way, counter to this bad vote.

I, brassherald, am not the one that repped out, despite having only completed one scum game in my life. I hate rolling scum and everyone should know this by this point. If either of us left the game as scum, it would have been me, and in fact, it was me in the previous game we played on this hydra where we rolled scum.

So, like, I feel like at this point, having remained in the game and not just decided to leave, I should be Innocent Child level because I am still here.
I kind of believe you but discussion around self meta is almost entirely pointless, so let's move away from defenses like this please.

@Michael Scott: jjh927 just isn't putting effort into this game and it's as clear as day. I agree that they should be roped today, but the thing is
they don't seem to be particularly concerned about the direction this day is headed, they're just letting the deadline tick down
. A very strong sign that there's not just one, but two deep scum in the team. I think one of the most concerning things is their lack of effort that is extremely visible - I am starting more and more to think that NicoRobin didn't have time for this game and that was the reason they opted to drop the game. Anyway, I know this contradicts with your proposed solve, but I think it's worth consideration.

Here's the counter argument to this, in particular favour of jjh927 being potentially town. Why is this scenario still relevant? Scum will obviously be undisturbed by a jjh927 lynch if they are a ML, but they are quite definitively unconcerned that the lynch could swing towards their mafia partner. Optically, I think both scenarios are worth thinking about. Your current solve and possible combinations I have considered in my own time and have felt that they felt too easy. Take it or leave it.

No it wasn’t. Mew’s reaction was horrible and very unlike town!Mew.
Honestly the way Pintu speaks there just seems generally forced. Who calls a reaction great like that?

Yeah, maybe you’re right. I also intensely dislike how he keeps discrediting everything I’m saying and falsely accusing me of “manipulation” and confibiasing Eraserhead. His hard defending of Mew, also makes 0 sense to me. It reeks of whiteknighting.
pinturicchio could be scum, actually. Was reading through D1 stuff and ISOs since this day and D2 are clearly hot garbage for generating any info.

it's also very likely we'll die tonight if scum doesn't shoot Varsoon so i'd to talk while i'm still here.

My strongest scumread is still Mewtaph. ProFlavor and MS seem like likely partners but I’m not sure on them. If Mew’s a goon ProFlavor is most likely Town, and if JJ flips scum MS is more likely Town.

What really sticks out to me though is how MS started trying to play around Varsoon’s vig shot as soon as Varsoon said it had a limited range. It wouldn’t really surprise me if Mew/MS are both scum and ProFlavor is Town who’s in an awkward situation.
I'm curious, what do you want my night action to be? Drag/no drag - move where, drag where?

The biggest indicator that I'm wrong is that the people that died townread Alchemist. So I'm pretty sure my general perspective on the game state is wrong lol.

I don't feel that great about a jjh927 lynch because there's just no resistance. From day 1 this slot has been set up as a potential ML.

Um, not discarding what you're saying completely but I just checked my ISO and I quoted ProFlavor in my second post.

This means one scum is fakeclaiming a ground role, or that one of you guys is scum.

why are you asking this? Kokichi is flipped, it's impossible to think of a hypothetical involving his alignment now. if you have some sort of issue with how i treated Kokichi, present that.

and i thought Kokichi was scum when i said he should be shot. if you mean a consensus scumread, it did not feel like a full consensus like jjh does now.

That's not the argument I was making against pinturicchio though. I'm considering the quote and found it interesting while I was looking at people's ISOs.

I'm saying as it stands, I think Day 1 has collectively held a lot more information than Day 2 and Day 3 up to that point. That's just how I feel.

@Michael Scott: Just jjh's flip information.
At night your faction may decide to kill someone, but you must determine who will carry out the kill. If you are the one to perform the kill, the target will be assaulted by marine fire.
I don't think that dragging ProFlavor away from Varsoon would've forced the mafia team to take any suboptimal kills or prevent any night kill options after that was revealed. So the only thing I could really do at that point was try to keep my scumreads isolated from the rest of the playerlist below Almost Chara while they were still alive at day end (it doesn't matter now because they died).

There are several things that point against a me-Alchemist scum team, things that point against a me-ProFlavor scum team and things that point towards Alchemist being scum.

Most of it my confidence here is tied to dead people that were actively engaging in the game the first day and at times mind melded with me
at the time on D1
- Shoshin the worst and Taly.

ProFlavor just moved up away from Varsoon's shoot range when they have no real reason to if they are a VT.

Alchemist21 kind of just desperately shaded the BP claims but hey, you gotta create mislynches somehow.

I mean... a lot of people are kind of obv town but I guess yes if I am wrong I will see that very quickly with the proposed lynches and will adapt accordingly.

ProFlavor pushed the Taly/Creature slot to L-1 when Taly/Creature and NicoRobin/jjh927 slots were in wagon contention. This is another point against ProFlavor.

I don't even really remember that ProFlavor was a lynch candidate at all on D1. It was early enough in the day where scum is probably glad to be wagoned because the attention will likely shift off of them by the end of the day. It lasted for a couple pages STW-ProFlavor until Varsoon started rallying votes against STW.

I do not think that ProFlavor was in danger of being lynched there and while yes being pushed to L-1 is telling, it was pushed to that point because of a naked Kokichi vote essentially (which also doesn't particularly make anyone want to vote the wagon, just turned off by it). Also placing someone at L-2 and knowing whether the lynch is favoured against STW or ProFlavor is within the realms of something the mafia can predict the result of. I do not think there was more pressure on ProFlavor over STW in terms of lynch viability being pushed through to its finish.

With posts like it was telegraphed very early on that Varsoon would push on STW because his vig failed, and it was pretty clear that was what he wanted to be pushed that day. This is concrete reasoning. A wagon on ProFlavor is not that concrete if you know that someone is actively pushing against it and appears to have solid reason for doing so. A post before Alchemist voted ProFlavor, he questioned how the wagon came into fruition.

In post 1295, Shoshin the worst wrote:@ProFlavor talk me through what the rationale of seeing those Mewtaph posts and winding up at "yeah wow Mewtaph is town, I'm going to vote STW instead"
That was the strangest reaction I've seen ITT so far. His reasoning isn't even slightly towny.
In post 1477, Shoshin the worst wrote:
In post 1392, ProFlavor wrote:The fact that Varsoon, Mewtaph, and I are the three on Shoshin right now shows me that this is more than likely a scum slot.

Varsoon is hard town here. I’ve recently gotten to witness directly both townVarsoon and scumVarsoon, and really I’ve known Varsoon for like 4 and a half years now, so I’m pretty happy with my read there.

Mewtaph is town for the wagon composition. Mustang and Nancy pushing onto a townie the way they did makes total sense, and then people, and scumShoshin, decide to jump on to Mewtaph.

This also semi incriminates Jjh slot, but I’ll let them catchup first.

I realize my slot will probably be tried to use as a counterwagon option after pushing Shoshone like this, so unless you wanna try to 1v1 me and out explain the damn awful play it would have been to let Mewtaph live in this situation as scum...well, go for it. I could have just kept not playing the game and allowing Profii to play in that situation. Mewtaph likely would have been killed.

So there, Mewtaph and I would have to be scum together AND you’d have to think I would Super obviously protect them in this position AND I would hard town read Varsoon, a solid player who I know would very much end up tunneling me if he thinks I’m scum.

Long story short, Only town are on the Shoshin wagon right now. Bet.
Hrrrrrkkkkkkkkk
This is still confbiased or agenda driven thinking....

I don't see how you just loljump to the conclusion that because you townread the entire wagon it must be on scum. that's a nonsensical conclusion and is actually heavily inconsistent with scumplay (you can't think both of our scumbuddies would just be hanging back while we go down surely. this is an optimal softbus/distance gamestate and it's radiant). an all town wagon us here is town indicative via vca and you're not convincing me on anything else.

I also don't townread the full wagon and don't understand why you do.

But your bizarre conclusions are more of a problem.

Going for tiered empathy on our voters it's basically
Mewtaph >>> Varsoon > ProFlavor > Kokichi

It kinda checks out for Mewtaph to be like AW NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN as town and vote us. I can't decide if the freezing in real-time thing is more likely to come from scum or town if I'm completely honest. From one perspective it does suck to be bombed with questions and ridicule as scum who feels like you're doing well so reacting with like "ew you suck" because I'm not townreading him. but on the flip side this COULD be a genuine considered reaction given last time I reached out to him I was going for a last minute pocket before lolhammering him.

Maybe scum!Mewtaph thinks harder about the optics of not talking to us at all in real-time, putting us down then disappearing? I don't really know, anyone wanna check his scum meta or...?

Varsoon's push on us is offensively outside the realm of common sense and I've spoken about it a lot but I think the fact I'm genuinely annoyed by it says something

Pro's vote on us is frankly pockety and I've documented my wall of issues with the nonsense they're spewing.

Kokichi's play vs. {AC, us} is transparent self defence and...isn't towny....

Above are appropriate indicators that I resonated with STW.

Their directed attention away from me towards ProFlavor I feel was particularly telling that they were shifting away from the idea that I was necessarily scum as the day progressed and that ProFlavor was the one that came out looking worse out of the exchange.
Shoshin the worst wrote:@ProFlavor talk me through what the rationale of seeing those Mewtaph posts and winding up at "yeah wow Mewtaph is town, I'm going to vote STW instead"
That was the strangest reaction I've seen ITT so far.
I can see how players can reach a town read on me early on, that's not necessarily the issue. I think a big issue with ProFlavor being town was how quickly and confidently ProFlavor townread me in a way that felt pretty much out of left field, an undeveloped send for aid. The way ProFlavor went about it made it very clear they wanted to tie themselves to me. It just didn't work particularly well for me in terms of me buying into ProFlavor being town with the whole VCA justification of "wagon is town". It felt like flashbomb reasoning that don't really explain the development of his defense with answers to STW like "Of course his answers will be awkward, he's being wagoned" and "our VCA is STW's wagon is all town, so Mew is town, if you disagree then you need to explain to us why". There are some other issues with ProFlavor's slot like the EOD D1 read list with the whole "if Flavor wants" thing. STW also points out how it is radiant for soft bus/distance game state and I agree because all scum needed to do was wait for time to tick and they would get a lynch no matter what.

I agree strongly with the bolded and posts like afterwards don't really address what STW is saying in any meaningful way that could result in change. This is when they asked openly for people to challenge them on their reasoning, which STW did, so them discrediting/ignoring rather than engaging with STW was pretty scummy.

Super quick to posture towards me being "confirmed" scum. If pinturicchio/Alchemist21 is the scum team then we're going to find out because I will be keeping my vote on you for a long duration of this day phase. It's not that team at this point though.

That's convenient of you to say after you "casually" shit out a transcript of the entire 100+ pages of the game with post links that you definitely had no plans on sharing in the thread at all.

I think you were well aware of the fact that I could have turned on you and that's why you shifted your attention away from me/Alch towards hammering on the simplest narrative to push today. But you've set it up, so it's unsurprising your confident that your plan will succeed in the end.

It would make your life a lot easier if you could push this narrative, but you can't because you're the one pushing the agenda. You have to rely on transcripting the entire game to achieve what you want to reach with extreme conviction. When you shovel bullshit enough times, eventually it becomes true. That was your plan, wasn't it?

You're failing to realise that two correct lynches on scum need to pass for town to win the game. This is just a straight fact that you've chosen to omit when constructing your perfect lylo narrative. There are two explanations for why you're playing this way as scum: you're hardbussing pinturicchio as scum/scum in which case the game is lost if I wait to act. Or the scenario is MS/Alchemist21 and I need to cover my backside before you win the game by default by outputting enough noise thread which you have shown you are more than capable of emitting extremely conclusion-focused "analysis" of previous pages.

The thing is, you can't realise this because you're scum and need to restrict play in this way to achieve your scum victory condition. Oh well.

The theory is quite simple, the theory is simply that you are scum. Seems like a pretty sound theory to test with a vote in lylo, no? That's kind of what a vote in lylo is supposed to do. Soon it will be mechanically confirmed that you or I are scum due to lack of a quickhammer or the game will end. It's very simple. You making it out to be a mechanical "mistake" is what you need to push here so that when it does become clear that is the case, your plan is not completely ruined (ie. the lynch turns right back onto you).

The only "confirmed" thing from my point of view is that there are three possible scum teams from my point of view. My vote should eliminate one of them (pinturicchio-Alchemist21) or end the game immediately if I am wrong.

Pint-Mew is the simplest narrative you could possibly create, and safely push on with ease.

As long as one of those two is town, it doesn't matter what happens as long as you fit the shoe on and get one town member securely locked into your palm with this narrative you're gleefully leaning into in lylo. The rest is irrelevant.

Nothing is "proven" yet until every possible scum team has been eliminated via absence of quickhammer after they've had plenty of time to prey on the opportunity.

I could try to lean into game-flavour solves but flavour game solves should never be and aren't 100% absolutes. Simple.

I would suggest there is enough reason to unvote for now and wait for it to become clear that pinturicchio-Alchemist21 is not a team and there is 1+ scum in {Me, Michael Scott}. Then vote between me and Michael Scott.

I think the game was kind of devoid of life at several stages. Which made mulling over certain possibilities worse (I was considering AC as scum) :neutral:

Like walking into the previous night and the NK and it's just like I'm surprised that me+MS would have the same solve but mine easier if I take MS as town. I got paranoid :| Firebringer being killed over conf town going into lylo made me concerned that scum were playing upon pre-made notions like me v Alchemist or me and pint being associated since way before ProFlavor got lynched.

And while I could have not voted at all, it sounds like the 3 way would've been a loss. Like it's not an OMGUS, maybe I would've considered unvoting if any of you were nicer but it seemed like none of you wanted to bother with that at all. There's a theoretical outcome where it's a win but that really felt like I would've been prolonging what would have happened anyway especially after I actually did the vote and got the responseI did.

I explained it in thread, like seriously. I think there was a point where Creature was kind of too apathetic that it became townie, a point where he was like "I want to use this game to find scum" or something like that. But then he put me in his scum group so I didn't care enough to actively save him seeing that, just a very meh day.

Also more important to why AC and everyone that scum read me still or had their reservations. I didn't think I would survive if I pushed something and I was wrong then it would be held against me. I feel like I wouldn't have survived honestly the dead thread scum team predictions kind of say enough on that. Then there were the night action movements, just showed off I was a flying unit which would make sense to be in the minority compared to ground units... and we all saw where that speculation went.
