All of the below is "all theoretical".

Thoughts?

So if it is unlikely that Rainbow and T12 are on a scum team.
Probably one of the people in this nomination group are scum.

T12 is scum, RainbowDash is Town.
If this is true, I think a scum T12 could have changed their case and lynched me.

Discuss.

I'm leaning towards 'I decided Top12 is more likely scum than User' but I may have confused myself.
What do you think changed?


I too think Devourer :)
Now... Thor places Devourer under the target for being scum.

Fairly convenient for Thor that rainbow is convinced he is town.

You said as a "theoretical", ok.



As a theoretical - Toroid is scum who was put in as an easy "clear" (because, as T12 says, he would have put a buddy in) T12 never discusses Toroid, and doesn't even mention Rainbow's Toroid push as a reason to get Rainbow dead.

I could agree with this.

Goal was to have Toroid just be there relatively quiet while either T12 tunneld Thor into lynch or town lynched Rainbow for 'lulz, speedhammah!'


My theory works too! With that, just have to rearange the names:
Goal was to have devourer just be there relatively quiet while either Thor tunneld toroid into lynch or town lynched Rainbow for 'lulz, speedhammah!'.

I don't think anybody would set a goal thinking I'd be quiet. I don't know many people who would think like that. But the thing is Thor, this shows a point of view were you thought about the implications of the nominated three. Excessively (especially when it should be mostly Wifom).


First lynch of Ace, had thor and devourer as the engine of the lynch train.

Oh look, rainbow thors buddy. Powered by the same engine that lynched ace (thor and devourer). Is running towards me...

I eagerly await your explanation on why I'm wrong, and why I'm scum!

I think I heard that you're supposed to suspect Thor when he leads his third mislynch. This is going to be his second one. I don't want it to get that far.

Posts like that from Toroid are what makes me all the more confident we are all town here.

I do disagree that T12 scum would be trying to get you lynched. If he is scum and dies with both me and Thor alive, scum probably lose. He literally cant afford to lynch you as scum no matter what you are.

In post 190, Thor665 wrote:I'd even go so far as to say a Rainbow or T12 scum flip would auto clear the other.


And just to play random possibilities advocate, what if we're both town, as unlikely as that is??

In post 191, Rainbowdash wrote:
In post 187, Toroid wrote:I had partners? Yes I sheeped Thor on page... three? but since then I've been distancing myself. I'm not just sure about him being town.


... that doesnt sound like anything town would ever say.

1)
"Im distancing myself from Thor".... I just... what? I really dont get how you distance as town, or why you do that, or how... again.

RainbowDash, How does me flipping anything change your opinion on Top12Gun? I don't understand this either? Did you make a mistake and put my name in when you intended to use someone elses?


2)
I really dont think there is a situation where T12 doesnt die tomorrow actually. I die and he is slated for death, you die and he his, Thor dies and he is. The only way I can possibly see T12 NOT being lynched is if Thor not only somehow gets lynched but also is actually scum. Neither of those are happening though so hey, T12 is in all likelyhood tomorrows lynch. If you are scum it just makes it all that much easier to get him lynch.

The very fact that Thor isn't being voted for... kinda makes me suspicious. :lol:
Well then, let us see where this goes!
Vote: RainbowDash


3)
Wow... you are able to waffle with only two possible votes you CAN make. Really you actually MIGHT be T12s partner with this post of yours. Thor is suspicious... but guess where you end up for ????? reasons.

4.
Anypony else realize that T12 just voted me essentially for "called me stupid"? Also yes, im actually KNOWN for hardcore defending a player on a gut feeling or single tell day one, ive stopped town lynches quite a few times. Its what I do because my track record of reading town as town is rediculously good, in most games thats how I find scum, working backwards and then going through and putting a case together once I get about half the game who I refuse to lynch.


1. I actually agree with this. Toroid's post brought this immediately to mind. This makes me think I might be wrong on Thor or Rainbow, and Toroid might be a partner. At this point, I have 3 people I find scummy. :neutral: What to do....

2. How the **** does Toroid dying slate me for death?? And for that matter, either you or Thor is scum, and quite possibly both. If scum dies today, I live!! So when you die, if you're the scum I believe you to be, then I don't die tomorrow either. Scum dying changes the whole damn picture.

3. The reasoning behind both of these posts is bad. Toroid should have fleshed his point out a LOT more, and it better have been more than what he said, and you just contradicted yourself re: Thor, unless that was an attempt at paraphrasing Toroid.

4. Perhaps I'm just imperceptive, but I didn't get called stupid anywhere that I can tell, lol, so nope. I voted for you in large part because of the way you acted about my not finding you as scummy for hammering Ace as I would have if you had quick hammered someone else. Look at it this way: If you're town, you understand perfectly why I didn't immediately accuse you: Because Ace acted scummy as all get out, and if you're town, you see the difference in that. If you're mafia, you know you did that for scummy reasons (getting an easy town kill without a ton of heat). As town, it wouldn't cross your mind that your hammering Ace might be scummy or seen as scummy, because you simply look at it from the perspective of "I hammered on someone I thought was scum. Nothing scummy about that." Your argument that there is no difference in your less scummy hammer of TAOS (which I'm actually seeing as more and more incriminating) and say, Devourer hammering Name User in a QL with little to no evidence, is either stupid, or scum. This sounds like I'm creating some false dichotomy, but that's really how I see it...

In post 198, Thor665 wrote:Allow me to spell out the T12 scum line as I grok it.
Sell me that I'm wrong and I'll hammer Rainbow for you for lulz;

1. T12 starts the day voting me with no attention paid to the rest of the game.
2. Rainbow calls out T12 and votes Toroid
3. With no real gain to either the Thor or Toroid wagons T12 reaffirms that he dislikes Thor - oh how awful Thor is. Has no comments about Rainbow.
4. You show up and dig into Rainbow, and attack her - Toroid wagon goes nowhere, Thor wagon is totally dead.
5. T12 (who I think is still calling me scum, I'm not sure) shows up and votes Rainbow for no clear reason.

6)
Okay, so, basically scum T12 never really had a need or a point where the Toroid shift would make sense. He also hopped off me with barely a murmer (his super top suspect) and is suddenly all about Rainbow being dead. WOuldn't *that* be the scum T12 hop, and that would make Rainbow town and Toroid more likely scum?

7)
As a theoretical - Toroid is scum who was put in as an easy "clear" (because, as T12 says, he would have put a buddy in) T12 never discusses Toroid, and doesn't even mention Rainbow's Toroid push as a reason to get Rainbow dead. Goal was to have Toroid just be there relatively quiet while either T12 tunneld Thor into lynch or town lynched Rainbow for 'lulz, speedhammah!'

Thoughts?


1. Wrong. I simply thought you were still scummy, for many of the same reasons.

2. Rainbow's argument makes little sense when examined from the angle of, "If Rainbow is town, she understands why I found her hammer less scummy, because she
didn't
do it for scummy reasons and would thus expect me to view it through that lens. Instead, she isn't comprehending why I don't see it as very condemning, and thus must not have any town reasons for voting Ace (or she would see why I thought it town.) Hence, Rainbow is scum." Try that. ;)

3. I don't dislike Thor, I simply think he's scum (though that opinion is also weakening, with the introduction of the fact that Toroid & Rainbow are also seeming scummy as hell to me. :?) And I had no comments about Rainbow because I was sure that if she was town, she would think it through from the above paradigm at least once. The fact that she hasn't by now is a red flag the size of frickin Africa. This is why I'm on her so hard now.

4. Thor wagon is dead because other than Toroid, who I haven't quite got figured yet and made a post I can't understand really.

T12 continues to miss that I never really had a scum read on TAOS and it was policy. Will try to explain this one more time

Just because I quickhammer a VI, it doesnt mean that its not scummy if it would be to quickhammer somepony like Thor at that stage if you think quickhammering is scummy. The only reason YOU are not calling it scummy is because YOU saw TAOS as scum. If you thought he was town, you probably would have cared a whole lot. Why I called you scum for it is that it just seems really convienent that you dont care about it and fall back on YOUR viewpoint of TAOS instead of what MY viewpoint on TAOS was because that allowed you to attack Thor while not attacking me. I just saw him as a VI. At that point there were multiple ponies I would have gone for before TAOS if I was going for who I thought had the highest chance of flipping scum. I just wanted the VI who if was scum would probably mean we won gone.

Usually I can figure out why somepony thinks something when they are town, I usually can even follow trains of thought when they are scum but its harder at times. Here I have no real idea why you are applying your viewpoints to my actions while ignoring my viewpoints.

Also because im town, you basically are dead no matter what tomorrow or at least up for lynch. Literally the only way you might not get lynched is if Thor is scum and he gets lynched, neither of which is going to happen.

1. Why so narrow of view on day start? Also, why no assessment of the new info to your old conclusions?
2. That has nothing to do with my point. The point is the lay of the land your vote reactions came in.
3. Again, that has nothing to do with my point. The point is the pushes you chose to advance.
4. I know the Thor wagon is dead and I know why it died - the point is your reactions to its death.

Well SOME of us live in timezones where we just now get home from work on a good day.

Anyways. We are still all probably town here. Toroid is just the lynch because he actually works fairly well as scum with everypony who is NOT lynchable today so if scum actually did stick themselves in here or my hammer screwed them up or something. Thor got a little bit twitchy with his whole "everypony is scum" implications, but when that move probably gets me lynched, im just going to continue to make the bet I think is logical here even if its in part some ultra-complex self-preservation.

Devourer, I'm asking you to give it another look over. Do you want to be on the same lynch team that killed a townie last time? You will be killing a townie if you don't reconsider. Please look over everything that has happened and come to the right conclusion.

Sort of back for ten minutes.

Explain your last sentence.

I think I'm overthinking this Toroid/Rainbowdash thing. For some reason I'm very paranoid about Rainbowdash being scum.

213 is almost appeal to emotion. Also, it's a fundamentally flawed argument to say that "they were wrong before, they'll be wrong again."

And yet, Rainbow is either avoiding me or I'm missing a post somewhere.

I'm okay with either lynch.

Increasingly, I find myself on a bad vote. Rainbow as sum has no reason not to engage with me right now. She actually believes that everyone is townie, even when she's a leading wagon.

My vote is on the wrong person.

Four of you turn to look at Toroid. Just then, you hear a knock at the door.

"Pizza!" you hear the muffled cry from the other side.

Since dealing with the rest of you doesn't look like a particularly great idea at the moment, Toroid rolls over to the door and opens it.

He is greeted by a large, multi-tentacled beast, and devoured in one bite.

Horrified, the five of you remaining run to the door and slam it shut. You see a long tentacle snake through the broken window and grab that dead woman from page 1. The creature then shuffles off, mumbling something about doughnuts. Whew. Guess it's full.

Toroid was lynched day 2. He was a vanilla townie.

This place seems to be getting scarier. You wonder what's going to happen at the end of the day today - you wonder if the moderator even knows, or will just make something up in five minutes once someone gets killed.

At least the dead body is gone.

Day 3 starts now!

Rainbow/Orc doesn't make much sense to me as a pair.
Top12/Rainbow does.
Top12/Devourer does.
Top12/Orc does.
Orc/Devourer does.
Rainbow/Devourer does.

I need to go and figure out which others can be ruled out.
I'm leaning Top/Rainbow as most likely with Top/Devour as 2nd most likely. I think Orc played too contentedly with all the lynches to really make sense as scum, I think he would have called one town in some meaningful way in the hopes of getting towncred since, for him to be scum, he has to be part of a team that didn't put up a scum option in the lynchings, and why not try to pick one of them as 'obv. town' for buddy points/town cred later?
