Preliminary thoughts for today:
- Smudger's death: how much did it have to do with his reads in 489? Who does it benefit?
- Kim's post 493: his most intriguing idea, pointing to Smudger as possible scum, is now proven wrong. But... why is Noodles his top scumread now?
- Smudger's strongest scumread after Kim was Bluebird, and he'd just dismissed his case against Noodles. Presumably scum-Bluebird would NK him, scum-Noodles wouldn't.
- On the other hand, whowouldscum-Noodles NK? Not Bluebird, since then he'd be Smudger's and my next option for scum. Maybe he hoped he'd be under less scrutiny from me than from the SE.
- Wouldn't scum-Bluebird NK me instead? I was the one pushing her wagon yesterday. Or would that be too obvious, and Smudger's also a good and more WIFOM kill?
- Strongest scumread is still Bluebird.
- But the alternative must be considered. Must reread what Kim posted about Noodles.-

Since everyone else is quiet at the moment - I had gathered some evidence to "prove" Smudger was a British spy, in case he'd answered to the "charge". Here it is, before we get to today's Mexican standoff:
From his profile:
- Male!
- Currently in an "exotic" place!

A busy RL that sporadically takes priority over playing! What's more important than lynching virtual scum? Eliminating the real kind!

Hey! 500 posts. A good, round number.
I'm still thinking WH is scum, so I'm going to go get my case for the next time I post.
Noodles I'm reading as null.In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

For obvious reasons I'm not voting yet, but it's hard to interpret your gameplay as town.
Plenty of posts (relatively speaking) during RVS - 5 out of your current 22 (6, 14, 18, 29, 47).
When people began to suspect you, you've kept a low profile, doing little to no scumhunting and not voting after Day 1.
Day 2, nothing much happening. A few defensive posts, that's it.
Day 3, you're fine with either wagon at first 427 (mine or Kim's), yet you make no effort to push either of us. In 460, you're suspicious of me, giving no better reason than Belisarius not mentioning me in his claim. I post a defense, hoping to get some sort of reaction, your answer is completely noncommittal, offering no strong opinions about anyone - 477. Then in 492, no reasons given again, Kim's the most reasonable vote. Not that you're willing to actually vote him.
In short, low activity, which in itself isn't that bad. People are busy sometimes. But that combined with no scumhunting, being reactive most of the game, and very nonconfrontational behavior...
From my perspective, this is either very bad town or pretty good scum. From your posts, you're probably a smart person. A hypothetical Stupid!Bluebird might be unaware lurking her way to LyLo is anti-town, because it completely messes things for the other town, but the real Bluebird is most likely aware of it. Why would she do such a thing nonetheless?
Only one explanation fits, doesn't it?-

Something interesting to consider: the NKs.
AzoriusSenate was a PR and thus any scum's obvious choice. But why did scum kill hiplop and Smudger? Well, maybe it has something to do with their read lists:
In post 73, hiplop wrote:Reads right now for those viewers at home
Town
Witch
Kim
Noodles
AzoriiiousSenate
Null
Smudge
Belisarius
(Cmon SE's, get more active )
Scum
Bluebird
Some Random Mafia Player - Seriously, this is not a town mindset
In post 489, Smudger wrote:Hey Kim. I'm about to start drinking as I am out with friends. So before I do Start I will say my gut and head tell me it's you. I am not changing my vote if I'm wrong then my head then says Blue, my gut then says MCN... And that little voice that sometimes haunts me keeps whispering it could be WH.... So that's where I am at..., you are scum my case is good. I will not be posting again until my A M which is in about 12 hours
Both of which share one scumread. The second strongest in both cases, in fact.
But if you think it's more likely I killed two strong players who strongly townread me, and whom I could have just sheeped my way to victory if I were scum, just so I could go to LyLo with two people who were suspicious of me on Day 3... really, I don't know what to say then. Occam is crying somewhere.-

Sorry for not posting anything the last couple days guys, I saw that the day had started at like 3 am and was like yay! And then was going to post in the morning but totally forgot. So here we are. In terms of the latest NK, I don't really know why WH would've killed smudger. It probably would've been a better move to kill me because both of them already had a scum read on Blue. Then again it could be him trying to throw us off that track, and that strategy might not have worked quite as well as I put it because why would Blue kill me. Blue killing smudger makes a little more sense, but idk if that's definitive. Honestly I could be playing this wrong but WH's point yesterday about me possibly letting Bluebird get away with the oldest trick is true. WH has just been more towny more consistently all game. Right now from where I stand Bluebird is scummier. I'm really really unsure about it, but I think Bluebird is the last maf. There's one thing I wanna see from either of you before I actually vote though.-

MrCurlyNoodles: if I were scum, killing you might point to me, so I suppose I'd have killed Bluebird for maximum WIFOM. That, or maybe killing nobody and having an easy MyLo.
Unfortunately, Kim suspected you but never gave a good reason why, and I didn't find much that Smudger didn't already mention. I'll have to go with yesterday's reads and hope for the best. If I've misread you badly all this time, good job.
Is that a reaction test, or do you want something specific? I'm WH, my quest is to find and kill Belisarius' scum partner, my favorite color is green.-

I don't have any time to type out anything of substance, so here goes:
Hah, NKs. My case basically comes down to "Witch Hunter was universally townread and he hasn't been killed yet."
I know I'm playing horribly, and that's all my fault. I know lurking is anti-town behavior. Scumhunting can be somewhat passive, can't it? I'm lurking because I'm busy and dumb enough to think I have time when I really don't.
If you think Scum!me would be stupid enough to NK two people who strongly suspect me without someone noticing, well. You're wrong.In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Bluebird, now I'm feeling worse about it than before. I can be awfully competitive at times, and I'm taking this game a bit seriously, but I don't want to be a dick who spoils others' fun. I know I'm no great player either, it's just that I'm putting more time into this than I probably should.
And hey, regardless of how this game ends, I'd really like playing with everyone here again - provided SRMP has learned how to format his posts.
So, if you felt offended by anything I said, please don't take it seriously - that's just me being an idiot. Once more, sorry. We cool?-

I agree. Yeah, sorry- I thought I got that across. But really, this is not the time of year for me to decide to do this.
In post 515, Witch_Hunter wrote:Back on topic, I can only imagine I'm still alive because there were more valuable townread players to be killed first.
I had an idea about how to conftown one of us three, making things a little bit clearer. Any reason we shouldn't have a massclaim today?
I don't see why not. I may be thinking the same thing you are.
To elaborate on my earlier post: Which Hunter was univerally townread pretty much throughout the game. My would-be point about his hammering all town is now null because he actually hammered one town and one scum, which is intersting- would Scum!WH hammer his scumbuddy? Points for town. Though I'm still looking at you, sort of.
Also- I went back and reread our ISOs. There's some interesting stuff going on here that caught my eye.
Spoiler:
I thought this was either frustrated town or incredulous scum; indirectly, he's defending Belisarius.
Earlier in the game, he really played up the newb angle. And, today, his only post was full of rambling speculation and WIFOM.
Sooo, @CurlyNoodles, what was with the interaction with Belisarius early in the game? What made you think he was town? Do you know why scum would say you're town and Kim and I are scum?
@Witch Hunter, what do you think of Curly's play so far, and am I really thinking what you're thinking? Don't really tell me if I am, though.In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

I haven't posted much today because I haven't had much to post. I've just been waiting for someone to say something to cement my opinion, which I'll elaborate on at the end. In terms of this:In post 516, Bluebird wrote:Sooo, @CurlyNoodles, what was with the interaction with Belisarius early in the game? What made you think he was town? Do you know why scum would say you're town and Kim and I are scum?
I was actually the first to call him scum and throughout that conversation with Azorius I said repeatedly how much I believed he *could* be scum. Azorius just had no proof and was acting really weird about it, which I only later realized was him getting annoyed because he had no real way to kill Bel without claiming. But yeah if you're going to say I was defending a scum buddy, pretty much in every post I repeated that I thought he could be scum and I really never argued against him being scum, just argued that Azorius needed to show way more evidence. If you want more info on an argument against me, look back a day at smudgers. He brought up pretty much everything you could, was proved wrong and moved on:In post 484, Smudger wrote:In post 475, MrCurlyNoodles wrote:Moral of the story is I don't see it. 1) you're argument has no grounds besides you being suspicious about liking people and 2) if I was scum I could've had the easiest game and I didn't take it. If you have any other questions throw them my way.
thank you, I wanted to gauge reactions to my thoughts so I could either include or secluded you from them, your response seems balanced and I accept it, plus of course this good point here:
In post 471, Witch_Hunter wrote:Counterargument about Noodles: if he's scum, why didn't he lynch Kim earlier when he had the chance?
People thought Kim and you were scum because you were both inactive and fairly passive when you were active. People said I was town because I didn't do anything they could point to as scummy and did multiple things that they pointed to as town. Am I good town? Maybe not, but the reason I stressed the newbie thing so hard is because I really am a newbie Once again just look back a day, this time at the analysis of Bels final post, and again at the short argument against me. In particular here:
And here:In post 402, Kim wrote:I don't expect people to think that his final accusation here clears me -- I'd expect there to be (at least, but probably just) one true statement in there. (I happen to think that it's "Curly's play today is town.")
That, on top of Smudger, is most of the town believing I'm town. So the scum says I'm town because I'm town. Gives them a air of credibility.In post 454, Witch_Hunter wrote:Probably town. Not very active, hasn't contributed much of the time, yet his posts overall look towny. Confused town who wants to contribute and doesn't quite know how to go about it, but town.
Finally, and I'm just going to come out and say it, this:In post 511, MrCurlyNoodles wrote:There's one thing I wanna see from either of you before I actually vote though.
was not so much a reaction test and more me hoping for this:In post 515, Witch_Hunter wrote:I had an idea about how to conftown one of us three, making things a little bit clearer. Any reason we shouldn't have a massclaim today?
Because I'm the last VT and by my calculations one of you is either a doctor or a 1sBP and the other is scum. So I figured if I could get one of you to claim VT then town wins. Or if you both claim a PR at least that confirms I'm town, moving us one step closer to winning. So out with it ladies and gents, what are ya?-

@ Bluebird: Today is the proper day to be paranoid. My instinct is to believe he's town and you're not based on everything we've been through so far - then I think that maybe, just maybe, that's just as he planned. Not much evidence to believe that, though - even Smudger didn't find much to go on, and it's something he considered seriously, judging by yesterday.
No reason not to be open about the massclaim - MrCurlyNoodles has already said the most important thing, and any of us could arrive at that conclusion - one of us is a VT, one is a PR and one is scum. Scum's going to claim one of the former two roles, which means one of us won't be counterclaimed, and is therefore conftown.
Let's begin the last act in our game then. I'm the 1-shot Bulletproof. Tried to stay active, be obvtown and participate in each day's most convincing wagons in hope scum'd see me as a threat and waste a NK. That didn't go as planned.-

Very sorry- I'm also the 1BPS.
My original plan was to stay active and try to pick out only scum, then get a failed NK. Which, admittedly was a pretty lofty goal, and I completely failed, except in RVS, which doesn't count. My "obvtown" play needs work, obviously.In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
