I mean, its not spite spite like I dislike you so much that I'm intentionally ignoring the game to spite you just that I don't trust that your mena read is truthful.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

there's a flipped town voyer

a vt claim

a parity cop claim

a monkery and a masonary.

I might be forgetting some claims but I don't see how a town you, with the same info as me, can determine whether or not a vig exists based on balance.
There was a masonry based vig in the original run of the setup theme so lol

Well I think you should try reevaling if you reached similar scumreads as me for mafia after I already outted my reads there.

Mena likes to be a lurkfuck as scum and loses a lot of steam as the game goes - and that's present here, and he has no fire in his play.

VOTE: Malcom

Let's do this, aight?

pretty sure I was calling yd-butter scum before you did, not that I really care. My Malcolm thing is just that he was going to bat for Butterchurn and that "Boon is scum based on balance." just seems wildly dumb.

mena seems like a useless lurksack regardless of alignment so...

You forgot the Beloved Princess claim by your top scum read.

Found it. It's definitely the next series I'll try to read after I get through the H. P. Lovecraft collection currently stuck in my school locker.

In post 5399, Nashville Dreams wrote:UNVOTE: ND

I know Mala voted a guilty claim and it's usually the right thing to do, but there are a few things that give me doubt without the guilty being fake. So I'd like to compare who wants FL dead with the VCs.

1) FL claiming at night start. While I can't see it, FL wouldn't lie there as multiple people could CC him. Well we could have a whole random neighbor bullshit but unlikely.
2) The limited kill mechanic - The amount of nightkills/heals required to believe FL is not a vig. Heals/kill stops are very unlikely n1 due to the sheer number of possible heal targets and the lack of information. At least the werewolf kill was non-existent/healed/stopped/did not occur. Given the penalty to killing, it makes it very much less likely that FL matched a scum kill target.
3) FL is consistent - Shooting someone that was impossible to eliminate despite feeling there's great evidence makes sense. It also helps his townreads.
4) Ease to lim catboi - A catboi kill, unless mafia were tunneling him all day, doesn't make sense particularly given the cost. They would know, at a minimum, there would be two slots always willing to vote catboi/RCE. Even if we supposed FL scum, he would know that a catboi elimination would always be a strategically preferred elimination.
5) Catboi alive protects FL partners - With catboi alive, it shields his teammates because of the repeated wagon unless of course FL's team was flailing like desperate chickens to eliminate catboi.

~Titus
none gonna cc leaf and nothing gonna happen if they do.
it's leaf and fakeclaims are like confetti

how r u arguing both?
catboi easy 2 lim -> leaf cant be maf
catboi impossible to lim -> leaf must be vig

This game just isn’t and hasn’t been fun for ages but I feel that repping out ruins game integrity so I’m sticking with it at minimal activity hoping that either I get limmed or that enough people get limmed that I start wanting to play again
