How did this get posted. Did you just say this without checking? Did you miss it?
At that point I thought based off what Hockey had said that it looked very much like a joke. Turns out he was actually claiming Tracker.

I say two, because one is most likely me which you've hinted the potential reasons for in #279 and iterating that doesn't say much.
"I feel like you want to eliminate me. Who else would you like to eliminate instead?"

If it's the "tbh" tell I'm not sure how you expect me to source that unless you want me to comb through every newbie game and CTRL+F scum ISO's for "tbh" and "honestly". Which uh, I'm not gonna do. But I'm clearly not the only one who's heard of that tell anyway.
Going back to this, this is pretty Scummy?

Feels sorta like fake.
Ditto except in reference to your response.

Given I'm even suggesting this, you can probably guess my alignment and role, but I think my elim has some advantages:

- The 'slip' is resolved, which may mar D2 discussion if unchecked.
- We don't accidentally 'out' the other PR by bringing them to e-1 and force them to claim, which feels especially important given Hockey has already outed

If I'm going against wincon with this suggestion, then I sincerely apologise and will accept all responsibility but I think it's more beneficial for the game to keep the other, less disposable PR, hidden as opposed to my slot that is just a big, fat question mark, and I wouldn't be suggesting this if not for the 'slip' and Hockey didn't out.

Let me know what you all think.
Y'all quit claiming jfc

Makes less sense to me than if you had just missed it.

The post where I Iso'd Roden was meant to serve as an outline of that, but it's basically this:
Roden
Quick
Margot

This is a group who have all been pushing on each other to some extent. Here I've ordered them by how towny I think they are.
Heuristically, it's probable that there is at least one scum among them. (Otherwise, what the heck has even been going on)
Considering that I don't particularly think that Alstro is more or less likely to flip scum than Margot is, I think it's better to yeet within the triangle than outside it.

Okay I put together what you were saying here finally. Him commenting on your weird posting isn't what i mean, exactly. He's suggesting it could potentially lead to him town reading you if you continue doing it. And he said it. Where you could see it. That makes no sense from a town perspective.

Like if you're town and you think that's how you determine someone's alignment you do it, you don't talk about it while simultaneously blowing it.

I mean I did say LQ vs Margot looked like TvS. What makes you think Margot is scummier? LQ has made really weird pushes all day while Margot just feels more subdued. Like, I can remember LQ's general attitude and perspective without having to ISO dive him, but I can't say the same for Margot.

Eh, it's more that I think she is less towny rather than more scummy, seeing as if I thought anyone were outright scummy I would be hounding them. LQ has / as I mentioned before, whereas Margot only has the "mixup" I mentioned in (gee that feels like it was ages ago) and although I eased off because of Clasko having a TR on her, it seems that not even he believes in that any more. Also also a bit of "sort by postcount, become werewolf expert".
LQ has made really weird pushes all day while Margot just feels more subdued.
I would say that it's Margot who has been being weird whereas LQ has made opportunistic moves, but now that I've said that... well, that only makes me less right and you more right.

*Says "tchk-tchk" while making finger-guns*

But yeah, I'm aware of the dilemma: if LQ flips green, I'll feel like a numpty for not having done enough to prevent it, but if he flips red I know I'll look terrible.
