Previous

Dunnstral and Toriel returned the school the next day.

The school was in session, so they went to Rebecca's classroom again to talk to their primary point of contact. Somehow, no one was there though, even though several other classes were full of activity.

The class was messy, with tiny shreds of paper in the board, and the blackboard chalky, as if the eraser had only made one pass.

"Hm.. let's clean the place up." Toriel gave Dunnstral a broom to sweep a bit, and erased the blackboard herself, as only she was tall enough for that task. Dunnstral didn't seem to mind, although he did not do well with the corners until Toriel showed him how to better.

It seemed like a beneficial exercise for Dunnstral, but Toriel also did hope it could curry some favor. There wasn't a clear way to take credit for the task, but hopefully Rebecca would guess who had been responsible.

In post 2224, Bingle wrote: Has anyone expressed serious suspicion of Dunn, btw? I have a tinfoil regarding that.
Basically the tinfoil here is that after implo posted the EV analysis it was a mostly foregone conclusion that we'd be playing mercy, so scum had no incentive to be wrong on Dunn. Therefore, if Dunn is town, anyone who expressed serious suspicion of Dunn is probably also town. If Dunn is scum, it's actually pretty damn scummy to suspect him, because scum knows he's going to flip so they'd see it as free towncred when that happens.

im tempted to drop $30 trying a bunch of boxed macncheese just to understand the hype of boxed macncheese because homemade macncheese is superior in very single way but that opinion has gone unchallenged for 25 years, and it must be settled.

my parents still say their proud of me

Outrageous? Nothing really. If anything, I feel like there is a distinct lack of spicy takes. I’m not sure if that’s because scum are super okay with what’s going on or if they’re kind of just being shut out, but I’d guess the former because it doesn’t look like Meuh/Ali is a pair and I know I’m not scum.

if you think scum is okay with the gamestate, what mutually agreed upon townreads do you think are wrong?

That’s the problem, innit?

I don’t really see anyone as super scummy. I do think I’ve come up with a way to vastly improve our EV that may have been missed in the design of the setup though.

It’s not better, it’s different. It’s like comparing Taco Bell nachos to real nachos. Real nachos are better, but sometimes you just crave the literal garbage only Taco Bell provides.

I... don't take immediate issue with this idea.

If we eliminate, we run to risk of dwindling our town pool for going the mercy route.

@Mod, will voting No Elimination incur the contact of mafia choosing an elimination, or will we simply go to the next dayphase?
