The strongman makes sense with one BP and AC's role who could kill the interceptors. Two BPs is implausible setup wise

Mewtaph does shade both Nico Robin (Jjh) and Pint in that post.
viewtopic.php?p=10655752#p10655752
Alchemist basically copies ProFlavor's read list, and just takes the non-commital stance of "everyone is towny or null"
viewtopic.php?p=10655979#p10655979
Pint criticizes URAP2 for putting Nico Robin (Jjh) at L-1
So pint apparently think it's scummy to put Nico at L-1 at around the page 36 mark, but doesn't find it scummy that Alchemist put STW to L-2 on page 5.
Skimming through the first 36 pages so far, the biggest points against Mewtaph so far would be 1) that he shaded both Nico/Jjh ant Pint in one post and 2) he lurked and didn’t really do or contribute much of anything.
Mewtaph has been consistently on Alchemist since the beginning
viewtopic.php?p=10656699#p10656699
We know that Pint and Jjh are scum. Do you think scum!Mewtaph would shade both of his partners in one post like that?
"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."
His whole bit about saying that Pint "has" to push his content back does seem off/strange.
viewtopic.php?p=10657350#p10657350
And once again, Alchemist takes a non-committal stance. "it's as likely as any other scenario"
viewtopic.php?p=10658342#p10658342
I do feel like Mew made some valid points there
Up through page 45, and Alchemist is one of the most non-committal players, and he seems to be very comfortable being on the sidelines and letting other people go at it.
But the fact that Mewtaph shaded both Nico/Jjh and Pint in one post so early on was definitely pingy.
viewtopic.php?p=10659297#p10659297
Alchemist soft defends Nico/Jjh for voting for STW; claims she voted for for STW just to avoid getting prodded as opposed to it being a serious vote based on Nico actually scumreading STW. Even though Nico never said that was the case,
viewtopic.php?p=10660890#p10660890
Lmfao, wtf? "up for policy lynching Nancy"
That is like face-palm bad.
Interesting how Mew abandoned his Alch push to join STW wagon after STW said that he would be fine with lynching either Nico/Jjh or Mewtaph.
viewtopic.php?p=10660915#p10660915
Mewtaph now has Pint as a townread, claims that Nico/Jjh would be a bad lynch on day one because it would be a "no info" lynch, but doesn't give any reasoning beyond that for not wanting to lynch Nico/Jjh.
viewtopic.php?p=10660921#p10660921
Mew gives an extremely bad justification for being "OK" with a policy lynch on Nancy.
viewtopic.php?p=10660933#p10660933
Bad shading of STW; could be scum!Mew trying to further justify keeping his vote on STW.





Volxen:
I was hoping the playerlist movements might help us sort Mewtaph vs Alchemist, but they both have been consistently at the bottom of the player list. The major difference is that Alchemist started a few spots above the very bottom, and then after night one he has been consistently at the very bottom of the player list. Mewtaph started at the top of the player list (pos 3), and then after night one he moved all the way down towards the bottom of the player list, and since day two he has been one spot above Alchemist.
Interestingly, Varsoon was at the bottom of the player list, so Mewtaph moved all the way from the top to the bottom of the playerlist, where Varsoon initially was at the beginning of day one.
Neither of them ever flew over Almost Chara, so no way to clear either one of them that way.
Well I mean technically Mewtaph flew over Almost Chara on night one, BUT for night one Almost Chara had to move and root. Night one was the only night where Almost Chara could NOT have killed a scum air unit that flew over them.
I think the scum air unit was likely informed about their being a town-aligned anti-air unit
So if Mewtaph is scum, he knew after night one he couldn't safely move across the player list. Night one was his only opportunity to safely make a big movement across the playerlist without any risk of getting shot down.
Strange how he wants to move all the way from the top to the bottom of the player list on night one, then starting night two he's content to stay right where he is, as the second to last person on the playerlist, right above Alchemist.
it will be even more telling if he makes a big movement in the playerlist tonight, after AC has already been nightkilled.
But then again, Varsoon was initially at the very bottom of the player list, and after night one Alchemist took his place at the very bottom of the player list.



Volxen:

Then again, if scum were informed about a town-aligned anti-air unit, but they didn't know that they couldn't shoot anyone down on night one, then scum!Mewtaph definitely wouldn't have flown from the top all the way down to the bottom of the player list on night one.
That's way too risky for a scum air unit to do that, unless they knew specifically that the town-aligned anti-air unit couldn't shoot anyone down on night one.
In that sense, Alchemist has been much more "conservative" than Mewtaph. Always near or close to the very bottom of the player list.


Volxen:
viewtopic.php?p=10658090#p10658090
Nancy points out possible distancing between Mewtaph and Pint, and she really wanted to lynch Mewtaph a lot on day one, even moreso than ProFlavor. That could be a large part of why she was nightkilled.
Creature was lynched on day two, and Taly (Creature's predecessor) had {Pint, Mewtaph, Nico(Jjh)} in his scum pile by POE. But then again Creature thought... we were scum, so I don't know.

viewtopic.php?p=10658228#p10658228
Nancy called out the entire scumteam here if it's {Mew, Pint, Nico{jjh}. She also listed Koki here, but he was a lesser scumread for her than Mew/Pint/Nico{JJh}.
viewtopic.php?p=10658237#p10658237
URAP2 was willing to lynch Mewtaph on day one; gets nightkilled on night two.
viewtopic.php?p=10659064#p10659064
Nancy hard cases Nico to establish that her vote on STW is more likely to scum from scum!Nico than town!Nico (because town!Nico is apparently more cautious/hesitant to vote)
viewtopic.php?p=10659294#p10659294
We had our vote on Nico at the time, and Alchemist tried to "redirect" us away from Nico/Jjh to Mewtaph.
viewtopic.php?p=10659424#p10659424
Nancy calls out Mewtaph again
Mewtaph abandons his "push" on Alchemist as soon as ProFlavor voted for him and put him at L-1; this is when Mewtaph switched his vote from Alchemist to STW. He claims he "didn't have the thread presence to push Alchemist".
viewtopic.php?p=10660931#p10660931
So Mewtaph is all over the place -- first he's hard pushing Alchemist, then he inserts himself onto the STW wagon, and then talks about also being willing to wagon Almost Chara.
viewtopic.php?p=10660938#p10660938
Mewtaph avoided your question and gave a bad reason for "not being able" to respond to Alchemist.
viewtopic.php?p=10660940#p10660940
Flavor Leaf believed that Mewtaph was town; removes Profii's L-1 vote.
If the scumteam is {Mewtaph, Pint, Nico/Jjh}, then that means ProFlavors wagon at the end of day one was an all-town wagon, because Mewtaph and Pint were both on the STW wagon, and Jjh was not voting. Flavor Leaf saved Mewtaph from getting lynched and was townreading him; STW was scumreading Mewtaph. So perhaps scum had a vested interest in supporting the STW wagon instead of the ProFlavor wagon, because STW had better reads than ProFlavor?
viewtopic.php?p=10660946#p10660946
Some of the wording here feels fake like "constraining original thought process in the thread" -- what is that even supposed to mean?
And "vectors of attack almost entirely created to protect their TR"
Something about that wording feels fake
Im wondering if, Pint originally townread STW because they are friends
So he "townreads" STW because he genuinely likes The Worst, but then when he sees that STW is hard scumreading Mewtaph, he decides it's best to do a complete 180 on his previous townread of STW and go ahead and support his lynch.
viewtopic.php?p=10661016#p10661016
Just one of many examples of STW calling out Mewtaph on wolfing
.
Could just be a really odd coincidence, but Mewtaph and Pint both used that phrase "whoosh"

And he says he doesn't want any part of this
viewtopic.php?p=10661465#p10661465
Varsoon hard defends Mewtaph and calls the wagon on him bad -- could be a large part of why he wasn't nightkilled despite his vig claim on day one.


Volxen:

Mewtaph throws shade at us because you said a Nico scum flip would be good/informative
In that same post he townreads Pint and talks about how Pint might be a future mislynch, which literally makes zero sense considering no one was even pushing him at the time.
viewtopic.php?p=10661781#p10661781
Varsoon doubles down on his Mewtaph townread -- and he has survived three night phases after claiming Vig. Coincidence?

Nancy was townreading Alchemist for meta reasons -- his posting in this game on day one was apparently similar to how he posted in another game they played together. Not sure I would put too much stock in this though, considering it's a meta read based on one game.

viewtopic.php?p=10664419#p10664419
This was just a bizzare, if not wolfy, pop in from Mewtaph
At the time he made that post, he hadn't posted in the thread for about 30 hours
He pops in to say "why start a wagon on Pint"? when only two people were voting for Pint, and the real wagons being talked about were STW and Mewtaph.
So he pops into..... preemptively discourage a non-existent wagon on Pint
That seems like it could be very scum partner indicative
Why does town!Mewtaph pop in to the thread after 30 hours of not posting to discourage a wagon on Pint when that wasn't even really happening?
viewtopic.php?p=10664442#p10664442
URAP2 calls Mewtaph out on this as well
viewtopic.php?p=10664461#p10664461

That's wolfy as fuck lmfao
"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."
So he pops in
preemptively discourages a wagon on Pint
Claims he is townreading Pint
But then after URAP2 votes for Pint, Mewtaph joins in and votes pint
I think he know realistically, though, that Pint wouldn't be lynched
Because of how hard Varsoon was pushing STW

Just 30 minutes after putting his vote on Pint, he puts it back on STW and says "eh not feeling it" (in reference to his previous vote on Pint)
Distancing vote but he wasn't willing to bus Pint
viewtopic.php?p=10664753#p10664753
STW had both Nico/Jjh in his scum pile VIA POE; he didn't have a strong read on Pint, but I think that was mainly because Pint was recovering from surgery on day one. But it does make sense scum would want to take him out.
There are so many bad things in Mewtaph's ISO in the first 64 pages it's unreal.
Nancy has by far the most accurate reads in the first 64 pages, no wonder she was nightkilled. Like for example here, she talks about how if she where to remove her vote on Mewtaph, it would be to put it on Nico/Jjh instead:

Alchemist state's that he's willing to "compromise" and vote for Koki even though he thinks Koki will probably flip green and be a low-info lynch.
viewtopic.php?p=10665205#p10665205
Once again, Nancy states that's Mew's alignment is directly tied to Pint's alignment
First half of the game has me convinced that the scumteam is {Pint, Mewtaph, Jjh}, and that Alchemist unfortunately posts/plays in a way where he inadvertently makes himself look sketchy (by being non-committal, etc.). There's a ton of associative tells between Mewtaph and {Pint, Nico/Jjh}, especially between Mewtaph and Pint particular. But I'll skim through the whole game.
viewtopic.php?p=10665228#p10665228
So Pint claims that Mew had "done nothing" (false), and then based on that claims that the wagon is bad and "Mew is probably town being pushed by scum for an easy mislynch".
This was just blatantly false, because the people who were voting for Mewtaph made it very clear why they were doing so.
And lol, he acts like he is completely oblivious to the fact that STW was wagoned
He basically used your question to him ("What do you think of Mewtaph") to discourage/discredit the wagon on Mewtaph, without giving any explanation as to WHY he is townreading Mewtaph. The only thing he said was that Mewtaph had done nothing, and that..... led him to townread Mewtaph.
So Pint steps in to discourage the very real Mewtaph wagon that was forming as the counter-wagon to STW
Previously, Mewtaph stepped in to discourage a wagon from forming on Pint, when there really wasn't even a threat of that happening.
Mewtaph puts his vote on Pint for 30 minutes, then put's it back on STW.
Tons and tons of interactions that look they are obviously scum partners.

Auro:
So Pint+Mewtaph?

Volxen:
It definitely looks that way from the first 73 pages, but I'll keep going and pointing out scummy things. But Alch so far doesn't really have any strong asscoatives with either Nico or Pint, whereas there are clear associatives between Mewtaph and Nico/Jjh and Pint (in addition to just his general scummy behavior).
Nancy repeatedly said Alchemist was town, and Almost Chara's dying words were "Firebringer and Alchemist are town", so that's worth taking into account.
To quote The Worst, when viewed "holistically" Mewtaph absolutely has more scum equity than Alchemist.

Pint never explains what "associations" between us and STW made him look like scum and never had an original reason of his own for joining the STW wagon.
So his whole strategy was to had pocket ProFlavor, who was in turn hard pocketing Varsoon. He keeps regurgitating points brought up by ProFlavor to defend his transition onto the STW wagon.



Auro:
Pocket ProFlavor, make shitty pushes and keep retracting them, try to look townie in general
There's no real scumhunting in his ISO
But that's an accusation we can make of other slots too, lol

Volxen:
And the only reason ProFlavor thought we could be scum with STW is because we didn't want to vote him, I mean that LITERALY was all there was to it -- and Pint immediately jumped on this bad reasoning to justify his own vote for STW, by saying ProFlavor made a strong case for a scum!Michael Scott + scum!STW team.

Auro:
Pre-flip associatives are stupid.
ProFlavor's argument itself was terrible.
I've never seen anything more circular.
I called him out on it D1, lol

Volxen:
And Pint knew ProFlavor would come out looking bad, because he was the one to make the argument, and Pint just agreed with it.
viewtopic.php?p=10668834#p10668834
Pint again admits he doesn't have an original reason for scumreading STW ("I'm scumreading you because of what other people said")

Auro:
Exactly, he was just coasting.
Not really scumhunting, just sheeping the wrong people, generally coasting.
We've been very clear with our hunting and pushes.
I hope Firebringer will see that.

Volxen:
I do wish Alchemist would have towned it up more, he could made this easier on us...

Auro:
Constant paranoia on our slot didn't help

Volxen:
Hm, another thing I noticed is that at the end of day 1, Mewtaph was at top the of list (pos 2), Pint was in the middle (6), but then after night one Pint moved to the very top of the list (pos 1), and Mewtaph moved to the second-to-bottom of the list (above Alchemist, who was at the very bottom). While Jjh stayed in the middle-ish of the list, around spot 8.
So they clearly wanted to spread out across the playerlist, probably because it benefits certain actions they have
Mewtaph must have been informed that night one was his only chance to safely move across the playerlist with no risk of getting shot down
viewtopic.php?p=10673947#p10673947

viewtopic.php?p=10677760#p10677760
Pint immediately jumps on board with Mewtaph's theory that scum nightkilled Nancy to frame Mewtaph.
If successful, this allows them to 1) "get away" with nightkilling one of the strongest/most dangerous town players (Nancy) and 2) at the same time use it to try and townlock Mewtaph via the theory that he is being framed as opposed to scum taking out the greatest threat to Mewtaph
viewtopic.php?p=10677820#p10677820
Good point Alch brought up in response to Pint ("why would scum!Mewtaph leave Nancy alive if he is afraid of presure?")
viewtopic.php?p=10677853#p10677853
Pint continues to use Nancy's nightkill to 1) establish Mewtaph as locktown who is being framed and 2) to establish us and Creature as scum
Notice how Mewtaph just simply came out and said "Hey I think I'm being framed"
Then Pint takes that and expands on that and turns it into essentially an essay on why Mewtaph is being framed, and how simultaneously that Nancy's nightkill proves that she was wrong on one of her scumreads (Mewtaph), and wrong on two of her townreads (Michael Scott and Creature).
viewtopic.php?p=10678419#p10678419
Something along these lines might explain why Mewtaph moved all the way down in the playerlist towards Varsoon's original position. Perhaps that somehow would protect scum from a vigkill, by having Mewtaph close to Varsoon. But after Varsoon moved on night one, he couldn't move again to try to get close to Varsoon again because starting night two, AC would have shot Mewtaph if he had flown over them.

But doesn't vote him -- I don't think Mewtaph and Pint would both want to be on Jjh's wagon for VCA reasons, safer to have one scum bus and the other stay off the wagon.

I can't believe I read that whole post when I know you're scum, what a sad man I am. I don't have time nor a computer to post every single thing you've posted and turn them into scum posting like you did, so I hope people will read my case on you that has been going since D1. Me being wrong on two wagons doesn't make me scum and doesn't mean I wasn't scum hunting: I started the case on Taly and Creature was mislynched on D2 because of it, so yeah, me having bad reads doesn't make me scum. All my townreads died during the night, so they weren't that bad after all.

I'll stop posting to let Varsoon catch up as easily as possible. Alch and Mew should say something too

Something too.

I read all of it too. These transcripts are a lot of effort to fake if they’re scum here when they could have never bothered and just as well said “we talked about it on discord” and gave a cliffnotes version. I don’t see a problem with any of the points made in the post either so this all just looks like solid Town posting to me.

And at some points seems like they planning some kind of framing, like when Auro says:
Pocket ProFlavor, make shitty pushes and keep retracting them, try to look townie in general
There's no real scumhunting in his ISO
But that's an accusation we can make of other slots too, lol

It's like making a case on me with anticipation

Maybe anticipation is not the word I was looking for? What I meant is that they had two days to make that whole conversation to prepare themselves for today.

Oh and also, about Mew's positioning with respect to Almost Chara killing them: AC's role meant that they could destroy the interceptors that the air unit would use to kill, meaning they would act like a BP for players close to them, not that they would kill the scum air unit if they passed them. That's why MS being bulletproof after AC and Firebringer's flips doesn't make sense setup-wise.

I'm not convinced that their role PM specifically means to block the interceptor shots, since their role PM also talks about not killing friendly air units like (Mutalisks), which is what Alchemist claims to be. Their role PM specifically makes a contrast about killing enemy air units (like the Protoss interceptor) vs not killing friendly air units (like the Zerg mutalisk) that fly over them. So why couldn't it be the case that the scum air unit's role is simply "Protoss Interceptor", and if they were to fly over Almost Chara on night two or later, they would be shot down and killed? If scum is informed about this kind of town-aligned anti-air unit then it would be balanced, since moving in the playerlist is always optional, and Almost Chara couldn't move after night one anyways. I don't see anything in their role PM that specifically prohibits that from being the case. And Alchemist claimed to be a Zerg Mutalisk that can't kill, but rather can move anywhere in the playerlist -- so why would that distinction about not shooting down friendly units need to be made if Almost Chara didn't have the ability to shoot down any player (scum or town) to begin with? When it talks about not shooting down friendly units it can't be talking about not blocking a friendly unit's shot, since neither Alchemist nor Mewtaph claimed to be able to kill with their role. And Meph (Nancy and Ari) weren't able to kill with their role either. It's talking about the fact that if a friendly air unit itself passed over Almost Chara (such as the Zerg Mutalisk), that player would not be shot down and killed.

So it's entirely plausable that the scum air unit's role is "Protoss Interceptor" and that they would have been shot down had they passed over Almost Chara on the playerlist on night 2 or a subsequent night. This could also explain why Mewtaph made a big movement from the top of the playerlist all the way to the bottom of the playerlist on night one, and then stayed at the bottom of the playerlist from there on out.

You're just using this to try and argue that we "have" to be scum via there being "too many BP's".

'Cause it says automatically kill TWO interceptors, that means it blocks an attack with interceptors from the air unit like the one that happened last night, like a BP. How could "automatically kill two interceptors" if it is the scum air unit flying over AC? So no, I'm not "just" using this to say you're scum, you're scum because I have good reading comprehension

"Flimsy case", "you haven't convinced anyone" good talk Mikey.

It's pretty easy to understand, yet you keep going on and on repeating yourself to make my case look bad. It's okay, I get it's the only way so no hard feelings.

The slot was a lynch option for us for the most part, and we also actively started a wagon there. Yeah, if your accusation is that we have bad associations with the slot, our defense is the above^ + obviously our hard pushing the slot in D3.

You acknowledge you look worse than us.

If we lynch our partner as town leader, actively, you wouldn't look any better than us.

It isn't a "far more risky" situation. We'd lynch ProFlavor, and we'd be in the same situation as now with just one player instead, and you wouldn't be "obvtown".

What am I missing here? I've offered the explanation to why we lynched in your pair in the first place (confidence levels) and our day play is consistent with it.

That still in and of itself doesn't confirm what you are saying is this case, because the wording in the role PM might intentionally be general to account for different game sizes. For example, in a larger game with 4-5 scum there might be two scum air units, and the town-aligned anti-air unit would kill up to two scum air units (such as interceptors) that pass over the anti-air unit, but in this game there happens to be only one scum air unit.

The only way we can be 100% certain of this is to have the scum air unit flip and see their role PM because there are only two possibilities:

1) That the scum air unit is the Protoss Interceptor ship itself (see: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Inter ... _the_Void)) and they would get killed if they flew over Almost Chara.

2) Based on Starcraft gameplay/lore, the other possibility is that the scum air unit is the Protoss Carrier ship (see: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Carri ... _the_Void)), and as you say they deploy Protoss Interceptor's that perform the nightkill, and Almost Chara would shoot down these Interceptor's rather than the Carrier ship itself (i.e., the scum player themselves).

Either way, you are being incredibly reachy here pushing this narrative that this "proves" that we are scum via "too many BP's". Look at the nightkills -- has there ever been a failed nightkill attempt? No, there hasn't, which strongly implies that scum has knowledge of there being a town-aligned anti-air unit, and that was used to balance the game. For the first three nights all of the nightkills were carried out by a scum ground unit. Then suddenly after Almost Chara dies, the scum air unit takes out Firebringer, who had one-shot BP. Clearly that means the scum air unit definitely has the ability to bypass the BP, and both of the scum ground units most likely do
NOT
have this ability.

Even with the second interpretation of Almost Chara's role PM, it's balanced because Firebringer and us are BP against
scum ground units only
(i.e., our armor would block one killshot from a scum ground unit), and Almost Chara is BP against
scum air units only
(via shooting down the interceptors). Two out of the three scumteam members are a ground unit and one is an air unit. So all the scumteam has to do is keep having the ground units perform the nightkills until the anti-air unit is killed. At that point "normal BP" becomes irrelevant as long as the scum air unit is alive because they can bypass the BP. And lo and behold, that is exactly what has happened in this game. So I see nothing that "proves" that we are scum via two "normal BP's" (us and Firebringer) against scum ground units and one BP against scum air units (Almost Chara) being overpowered, because that makes sense and would be balanced especially if the scumteam is aware of the presence of the town-aligned anti-air unit and how it works (and the sequence of the nightkills strongly implies that the scumteam does have this knowledge).

So other than the fact that I may have initially interpreted Almost Chara's role PM incorrectly and your interpretation might be correct (you would know anyways since you know Mewtaph's role PM), do you have anything else to say on the matter? Because you seem insistent in pushing this as some sort of "slam dunk" case that proves that we are scum.

And by the way, since Pint seems insistent on pushing this narrative, we will just come out and say that we are
one-shot
BP just like Firbringer – so our BP works exactly the same way as his did.
