I think chrono was bussed, and I haven't thought it was me, KMD, or Locke.
With you, the reason I didn't have a town read on you was going all the way back to the way you tried to get EGL lynched. Its all you talked about up to his lynch, and then you disappeared for a while. That is why I voted you on day, was it 5? I can't remember. Here's the post: viewtopic.php?p=2531664#p2531664
Starting the next day, you were becoming more active and I remember thinking that you were making some good points. So I switched my attention to holy. Here is a post where I first started rallying support for a holy lynch and gave some justification - I guess you could call it a case: viewtopic.php?p=2585491#p2585491
And since then there have been other places where I've been trying to get support for lynching holy. I've already quoted them in another post. Not going to go dig them up again.
-----------------------------------------------
Alright, all claims are in. Time to hear some more about ythan's role.
I still think KMD is town, but I'd have preferred he not receive jahudo's votes. Reason is that it consolidates votes and makes it possible for scum to get a larger chunk of votes with 1 shot if KMD sends his votes to scum.
My top choices for lynch today are holy, ythan, and batt.
I'm worried about Locke, esurio, and kunk, but I don't currently have good reasons to think any of them are scum.. Not sure where nacho fits in today, but he's not one of my top 3 choices.

No one really commented on this when I posted it before. I'd like to resubmit it now for consideration:
Regarding the part I struck, obviously ythan and charlie are not scum partners, but that doesn't weaken the rest of the case IMO. And I still find it odd that ythan bickered with charlie all game and didn't try to lynch him until yesterday. Its not like he suddenly became scummier or something. In fact, he had been playing better than earlier in the game.Rhinox wrote:I'm getting really close to voting ythan.
firstly, I think he needs a prod. Hasn't posted here in 8 days.
We've got scum-chrono sending him 2 votes. Wifom, but important.
Look at ythan's iso day 6. He gives an intent to vote plum without giving any reasons. Then he bickers with charlie for most of the day with useless side conversations because he obviously has no intentions of voting him, and isn't trying to convince anyone of charlie's scummyness. He contributed nothing to scum hunting in day 6.
Oh, there's the OMGUS ad hom attack against esurio.
A tinfoil hat theory: His attempted vote (x1) on plum to keep track of him. I didn't bring this up before because its sort of stretchy, but when he did that if all his votes would have counted it would have been a hammer. The mod has already clarified that votes could not be split before ythan tried to vote. I feel like this could have been a shenanigans ploy to quickhammer plum while appearing to not know he was hammering.
more wifom: hypo-town ythan should be a high priority scum target.
hypo-town ythan should be a more active scumhunter because it is becoming unlikely that the town will be able to secure a lynch without town-ythan's support.
Another tinfoil hat theory: killing millar - scum ythan would have no reason to believe that town richard was lying about his role or that town millar was lying about his role. ythan would also know from the discussion at the time that richard was under a ton of pressure to kill millar with his weak doctor ability, even though ythan claims it should have been obvious that he (ythan) always intended to kill millar. So by targetting millar, it in theory should have kept millar alive for the possibility of a BP lynch, and also kept the option of a richard mislynch because it would have been more evidence that he was lying about his role. All things that scum ythan would love to happen.
Alright, I'm really seeing ythan-charlie scum team connection everywhere I look in ythan's iso. They've bickered back and forth half-heartedly all game. Likely distancing - none of it comes off as genuine, like neither are actually trying to convince anyone that the other is scum, but they want everyone to see that they think the other is scummy. Ythan's never voted him. Will check charlie's iso later.
Is this set of exchanges why ythan was so hell-bent on lynching plum?plum wrote:There's another scum faction in this game? Doesn't look too much like it, all things considered. I've learned to heavily distrust slips of even the most damning nature and can easily think of ways the phrasing could have happened by accident. Again, it really doesn't indicate anything unless there are two scum factions, and that is extremely unlikely, so.ythan wrote:That is an incredibly damning slip though.plum wrote:I've seen worse (or as bad at least if my memory doesn't fail) flip Town.because that doesn't make any sense because the last thing he said about plum before this was:ythan wrote:We've all seen obvscum flip town. But you're trying to use that to say that only weak evidence should be used, or something crazy.I'm more certain about you now.
Ythan did not comment anything at all for or against chrono when he was getting lynched. I didn't find a single opinion about chrono all game. I find it odd that a townie would allow a player he's given no opinion about to get lynched. He wasn't even arguing for his preferred lynch (plum). He was instead pointless bickering elsewhere while the lynch occurred.ythan wrote:If Plum is scum as raider's replacement then at least she has been attacking players I like even less (in a town versus scum way) since she got here. VI replaced by innocent or heavy busser. I'd prefer a not Plum lynch today. That means Chuck/Fan/Xite at the moment.
In short, I'm running out of reasons to think ythan is town.
I also notice that ythan did not even consider charlie's claim before voting.
While looking back, I noticed this:
I'm curious to hear what both of you think of ythan's claim basically being ANOTHER protective role after adding the commuter role to this list.esuriospiritus wrote:This pretty much nails why I am not unvoting Charlie.Nachomamma8 wrote:I'm more receptive to having my mind changed now that's Charlie's claimed; I doubt that there's another protective role after a CPR Doc claim only counterclaimed by scum, a one-shot doctor protect, and a bodyguard flip.
