Ah, Cape's post is why I thought it was 2020, "thou doth protest too much" was used as town. Cognitive dissonance it is, I guess.

Personally, though I'm fine with eliminating Cabd here. Though I'm wondering if we still have things we want to discuss at this point?

I
very strongly
urge you to decide on one candidate of those two. I think it's way too late for discussion and nothing new could possibly emerge from this. Both cases have already been made. I have nothing more to say than what I've already said in light of Day One. I would prefer that it's
Cabd
who is gone this Day, but it's your vote and your decision.

Elaboration on my reads probably would be helpful, yes.

I just... don't have very deep reasons for them, as of now.

If you are open to voting ProHawk talk about it.

Otherwise there's nothing to discuss right now. No other slots are on the table but him and Cabd. If you're not open to voting ProHawk vote Cabd.

You have 8 minutes before I hammer.

I get being indecisive, or perhaps patient to a fault. Do you understand the ramifications of not voting as town? It is fine to be wrong. It is not fine not to vote, to risk no elim, and to let scum exert more influence on the elimination by default, and I cannot press this point on you enough.

I do not appreciate being made to vote against my preference in order for
any
coalition to be formed. The entire premise of the game is forming voting blocs and compromises based off of strength of belief.

You are not getting my sincere belief in voting Cabd, despite him being my second/third choice, and we are not getting yours by refusing to vote. You are forcing others players to salvage mechanical advantage without regard for a correct vote.

Since Strange is here and commenting sporadically, I will wait to 30 minutes remaining, but do not feel comfortable waiting any longer than that. That is a hard deadline.

Since I still would rather have

eliminated, I am still waiting for this deadline to end or for

's vote. If you don't keep your word,
Prism
, you're landing on my scumlean and so is

if they refuse to vote. I don't think I need to explain why. This charade is going on for too long.

Fair enough. I really hate when things get cut short randomly, especially in Mafia. Though I really dislike being stuck with decisions like these, I just get really nervous for nearly no reason.

VOTE: Cabd

PEdit: I know why usually you don't want a no-elimination either by the way. I'm just nervous about being wrong since I've been wrong way too often in the past.

I've said to treat it as a scumclaim if I don't, I have no qualms about facing the ramifications.

This is an extremely interesting game state, and I hope my death will illuminate things about the way the past few hours have gone down.

Welp, that’s unfortunate.

I’ll try to make some new reads and cast a vote this evening

We can still win it! :cool:

So, since
Titus
was Doctor, we have a Cop and a Roleblocker (A1) or Tracker and a Rolecop (B3) left. Then again, I'm not sure what to do with this information either.

I absolutely hated the last minutes of Day One, but
StrangeMatter
did vote in the end and admitted being very nervous (). Not 100% sure that I'm buying it. But to be fair, if they weren't absent, they must have known that likely it was their vote that would decide the outcome of the game, so putting themselves out like this sounds like an illogical decision to make as scum. Or maybe that's really what happened and I just think they're more advanced than they actually are. :neutral:

There's someone else that's been irking me.
MegAzumarill
has been visibly absent, both in terms of posting and in terms of content they produce, in the last few days and it really stands out for me in light of their constant activity in N2081. I feel like I wrote them off sooner than I should have.

VOTE: MegAzumarill

Do you think that both scums were on the

wagon or did they spread votes? We have two conftownies on the
ProHawk
wagon, and
Cape90
whom I'm still reading town. But then there's
marcistar
.

My first thought was 2 scum in Prohawk/Meg/Strange so I’m leaning towards them being on the Cabd wagon
If I'm not wrong about
Cape90
, then the
ProHawk
wagon looks like a pretty townie place to be. That would leave
marcistar
out of the pool of suspects.

I'm also leaning towards both scums choosing to decide on the
Cabd
wagon. Since
Cabd
was playing pretty neutrally and it was a neutral read for most, this seemed like a safe spot even after they flip town. Voting out a town-aligned
ProHawk
(not saying that he is) could have been far more incriminating than a neutral
Cabd
.

Leaving out myself and yourself this indeed does leave these three. I think there is
at least
one scum amongst them. I need to do look back at
Prism
's case on
ProHawk
and
StrangeMatter
's game history. I'll do that as soon as I can.
