DEFCON Mafia 5.0: GAME OVER - NEW AMERICA FORMED

[The Entity]

Hey DN, your signature is dumb

[Nexus]

POOKY NO

OUR PRES HAS BEEN ASSASSINATED

LONG LIVE LLD'S REIGN AS PRES

One of these two is scum. Mark my words.

Anyone pushing LLD as bussing is stupid.

Et al, are you still scum?

[Koto]

Good morning, fellow commanders!
Any news?

[Nexus]

You may have replaced into a scum slot.

Although there's not actually a lot to go on for you so uh...make our lives easier and be town?

[Et Al]

Et al, are you still scum?

Nope we got culted overnight

[Nexus]

Oh mate, have you been waiting for me to post to try and discredit me to show your towniness?

That's really sad.

vote et al

[Et Al]

There is something I believe I should disclose but I'm not sure what the correct strategy is.

If it's not an Espionage guilty, don't.

[Et Al]

Oh mate, have you been waiting for me to post to try and discredit me to show your towniness?

yep, I know that lurking for 12 hours and then discrediting people who scumread me is the surest way to get everyone to townread me. you've definitely seen through my plan, which by the way makes tons of sense and will totally work.

[Et Al]

trying to buddy up to obvious town

I'm no expert but this sounds like something town would want to do, no?

[Et Al]

Saw it, he would have had to entirely ignore the conversations this day phase before saying it. Be another one of those low info/set up reading players(like me!) etc. Given how short the post was it seems targeted to hit that exact note and nothing else. Even though it sort of comes off as daring/meant to taunt the scum team. I liked that, but I just don't really have much confidence in interpreting that one in particular.

[Et Al]

Saw it, he would have had to entirely ignore the conversations this day phase before saying it.

Which would be pretty consistent with how he's posted thus far.

I'm not gunna argue too hard against it I've posted multiple times this game first before catching up. I'm simply saying that I would be cautious about town binning him for that since plenty of lazy scum (me for one!) also try to town slip like that.

[Bell]

Also, did your grandpa wake you up to go to the bathroom too or do you live in australia?

[T3]

Going to catch up.

[T3]

If samantha wasn't locktown already she's locktown now.

RMH, unless you have a direct guilty by Espionage or Fighter don't out. Although you've basically softed that you're a PR that's useless in town hands.

[T3]

Bell gives me a gut scumread vibe but by play and meta town.

[T3]

I can't shake the DV DN buddy thing but for now I'll VOTE: VFP

[DeasVail]

You seemed pretty set on me being scum earlier and I can't imagine that events since then have changed your mind on me. What changed?

[DeasVail]

Okay I've caught up on the current day and there is still a fair bit of the previous day and Mastina wagon stuff that I haven't read and still want to, but I'm mostly still cool with the town list I posted in 1486, with probable additions of The Entity, Bell, Joqiza and Robert M Hunter. Maybe some more caution around Samantha for me because there have been a couple of posts that have made me go HMMM but I don't think I'd be in a position to actually properly consider that slot as scum right now.

The other slots I am still thinking about and them not being a townread for me could be either due to suspicion or because I haven't felt able to sort them yet. Reasons for my townreads will probably have to wait until I have more time/they're more relevant because I've been disorganised unfortunately.

At the forefront of my mind for scum might actually be Vaxkiller? I actually kind of agree with mastina's initial reasoning for "scumreading" them. A lot of Vax's interactions do feel forced or unnatural, as if an attempt to project a certain image rather than just Vax posting.
Recent examples that stuck out to me included 1941 where Vaxkiller is essentially brushing off a disagreement rather than trying to resolve or explore it, but seems to me like something scum would do when they're trying to engage with town but don't actually know how to do this naturally. Similar thing in 1934. There seems to be little effort (or care) to actually convince people that T3 is town.

I am aware that Vax voted Mastina early but it was the sort of vote that I think a buddy could have found themselves stuck on after the wagon had materialised. Indeed Vaxkiller did not particularly do anything to push that wagon through.
