One point on the other side - Dunn wanting to lynch Titus is plausible; relevant posts are post 3725 and post 3595. The latter being particularly notable as containing the phrase "kill titus".
This in particular gives me pause. It's definitely a bizarre choice of words if he is town and I would be voting right now had you not pointed out post 3595. Seeing him use the same wording in the game thread, it's plausible that he meant "kill" to signify lynch in the neighborhood thread.

Dunn was also on Maria quite a bit during day two during the buildup of Jackel's wagon.
It seems unlikely to be about the Grey shot. It would be bold scum indeed to go through with that after slipping it to the hood. More likely it was just about the kill the next day. Is that likely? Not sure. Scum could reasonably shoot at Titus for holding the King of Diamonds. Much more likely if the scum held the other one, I'd say.
If Titus hadn't been killed & was still in the game, would you be reading this any differently?

I didn't likely shoot her, I claimed the vig straight out.

Stop calling it a vig. Vig implies town. You likely shot meant that you with Dunn decided to kill Titus.

The scum kill was disabled, from what I heard.

I used my alpha vig shot, so yes I vigged her.

Lol a vig is only a vig if you are town. Otherwise it is a scumkill of a different name. You didn't vig her.

I thought we had agreed that Dunn revived a protown card to a town player. Would scum take that chance?

Jumping on "scumslips" is an incredibly scummy thing to do unless there is VERY (and I mean VERY) hard evidence that it's not an awkward phrasing of language (and thus an actual, for real, slip).

The reason why being that jumping onto something that seems "objectively true" (i.e., accidentally revealing oneself as scum) allows scum to absolve themselves from actually developing fake reads from gameplay, tone, gut, etc., and can instead latch onto something that can easily be proven and isn't "wrong". Then, when Dunn (most likely) flips town, the onus is suddenly on him instead of Mcmenno or Gerry (not that gerry should be lynched or vigged btw). Everything about encouraging it is intellectually lazy and pro-scum.

What about Dunn's role
in the thread
is scummy? Even more important,
WHAT ABOUT KRASKA WAS EVEN SCUMMY
? kraska was stupidly obvious town and that read absolutely carries onto -Grey- too, even if he made an extremely sub-optimal vig (which btw screams more of town than scum)

This all happened ~2 days before deadline. There were a few hours between the post before the possible slip and the slip. All the follow-up posts are spread out, with hours between each.

Let's be clear. You don't have to think Grey is scum here to think Dunn slipped.

What do you think of the actual post itself? That is, posting "Let's kill Titus" in a neighbourhood, apropos of nothing? This is not some accidental typo we're jumping all over. It's a post with a clear explanation if Dunn is scum who fucked up his browser tabs, and none if he is town.

In the thread - Dunn's play since then has rung alarm bells for me. I want him to answer my last post.

Your entire rant is don't lynch him because he picked a card. Dunn slipped. McMenno claims scum all the time it is literally NAI.

Dunn and Grey are partners.

I only get scumread heavily as Town. When I am scum I plan things. Here I has no plan. I lynch de scums.

It seems like something town!Dunn would say normally, yes. I was going to go through Open 649 (my game with Dunn) because I recall him saying something similar out of nowhere in that game.

I don't think his reaction is that particularly awful though.

@Mathblade, thanks for the misrep but I'm not townreading -Grey- just because Kraska picked the King of Diamonds

@Giga I am saying you are townreading Dunn for it.

@Fishy -- That is a waste. Grey is scum.

A card is not alignment indicative. As scum I would have picked that card because then no powers go off at night either. All it is is a rank and a suit people.
