I mean. At most two of the people on any wagon can possibly be scum, so "all but two people who voted Montosh are town" is not information we would not have anyway and I don't see how we can use it as evidence one way or the other for anything.

Missed this. I guess S_S if any. I think RCE is town now

A gambit that may have cost them the game.
But the wagon on A50 was already building up. Menalque not voting A50 likely wouldn't stop it
I somehow misunderstood that post. Forgive me.

No worries, do you agree that it's possible A50 and Menalque could be a team? That whole wagon redirect from A50 to town by Menalque was too bad for me to ignore and reads exactly as desperate scum to me.

I do. Didn't reach that conclusion independently, however.

Who here has experience with scum!Menalque? Would he have the audacity to put his last living partner at L-2 in a white flag game? Based on my zero experience with scum!Menalque, I suspect the answer is yes.

I once counterclaimed skitter as a 1 shot vig in mylo and then retracted to a full vig claim which would have meant a like 3% chance of that setup existing and then won in that mylo, so yeah, sure, I probably would if I felt the game was losing if we didn’t risk it

Explained in . Plus I seem to remember Titus’s VCA says it’s impossible, but considering said VCA is advocating your death I can see why you maybe wouldn’t trust it that much.

I propose we execute Menalque far before the deadline since nobody seems to be interested in doing anything else. Should anyone agree, I will place my vote. That is, if I am online.

I object to this proposal. Firstly because I think Menalque is town, and secondly because even if you think he's scum we should still be using the time to work out who's scum if he flips town.

I know but we're looking at the same thing two different ways and I was wondering what you thought of my take on it

Your theory is based on:
- Menalque started a flashwagon away from A50 towards Montosh at the end of day two
- everyone except Menalque and A50 on the Montosh wagon was conftown

Is that right, or am I missing something?

I don't really agree with the logic of "there must be at least one scum on the wagon" - there's no reason why there has to be imo. As for the other part, I'll read back through the last couple of days of day two and get back to you on that.

The A50 wagon picks up with Umlaut, Fredrick and Eevee's votes in , and respectively.

The vote count at this point is:
Almost50 4 (Ydrasse, Umlaut, Fredrick A Campbell, Eevee)
Ydrasse 3 (Almost50, Titus, Menalque)
Menalque 2 (Montosh, RCEnigma)
Raya36 1 (Something_Smart)

With approximately two days until deadline.

Menalque is at first non-commital, but switches over to A50. He doesn't post his case on Montosh until the next day, with ~12-18 hours until deadline. Which is an
utterly crazy
move if they're scum partners.
Surely
he would have done something sooner rather than risking that high a chance of just losing?

Only the first point. I see the flaw in saying that scum must be on the wagon therefore must be within the unconfirmed on the wagon.

But I do think there's a chance menalque was desperately trying to get the wagon off of A50

And you don't think he tries to do that an awful lot earlier than he did if he's scum with A50?

Raya, is your case that Menalque is scum dependent on A50 being scum? If so, wouldn't it make more sense to lynch A50 today?

Nothing new here. :( It's still the same story of "It's A50/Menalque.. no it isn't,, yes it is.. let's eliminate A50.. mo let's do Menalque."

Let me tell you that I'm confident both scum are being wagoned as we speak. I am just voting the one I'm more confident in, and since the game uses plurality; I don't think I'll be switching my vote in the foreseen future.
