Bad vote is bad.

[Dunnstral]

Wait, so mathblade is claiming lastish?

forgive me if I'm missing claims by the way. not counting cards

[MathBlade]

If you're going to be dumb enough to do mass claim at least be smart enough to count cards. *sigh*

Dunn is so obv scum. :/

I don't even know what Latish is.

[Dunnstral]

last-ish

[MathBlade]

Last-ish of??? Planned mislynches?

yeah

Thanks for admitting I am a mislynch.

Dunn and Giga be scums. Good to know I was right and PDS that Grey is bussing here. Gotta go to bed.

[-Grey-]

PDS that Grey is bussing here.

What can I say? With that McMenno lynch in my grasp and absolutely no incentive to give up my buddy, I figured that made it the best time to bus.

[Fishythefish]

Cool. There's a decent consensus for massclaim. We should only (at least at first) claim drafted cards; any further info we can decide on after that. Bottom to top order of unclaimed people:
TWIW
LUV
Dunn
Vecna
dreamer
Maxous
giga
Kison
davesaz
gerry
Time is ticking - let's get going.

(Fishy, Mathblade, Spyrex, McMenno and Grey have already claimed).

[SpyreX]

Did i officially? I mean its obvious but in think theres two possibilities.
Just in case I'm 2,8,9 s

[Fishythefish]

(I think you'd claimed "Hated, Hated, Beloved" in Spades, and the 2 of Spades, which nails it)

[SpyreX]

Hey i could have been awesome and 2,8,8 like a boss

[Dunnstral]

Wait, so mathblade is claiming lastish?

[Fishythefish]

Hated doesn't stack.

[TheWayItEnds]

got 9C 5C

didnt get 8S

[Vecna]

Im no longer against a massclaim fishy, at this point its definately the way to go and itll probably flush out the scum like no tomorrow, especially if we can inventory on all 4 suits

At this moment I am REALLY REALLY interested in Spyrex' flip.

He indeed has been acting a lot more towny lately, but this 8 of spades business still sits funny with me. If someone has the inventory tonight im now thinking it should go on SPADES if were not lynching spyrex today.

[Vecna]

Ok look at this - this is what im thinking is what is REALLY going on in this game:

Claimed cards:
Mathblade: J-c, 8-s, 2-s
Spyrex: 9-s, 8-s, 2-s
TWIE: 9-c, 5-c, MISSING 8-s, claimed random picks

Stuff we know:
-Maria picked a pro town card
-Some town early in the draft picked pro-scum cards to deny them to scum
-Several people have been die-hard advocates of claiming stuff starting very early.

What im suspecting is really going on:
Mathblade: J-c,

8-s

, 2-s ---> Hidden pro-scum card
Spyrex: 9-s,

8-s

, 2-s ---> Hidden pro-scum card
TWIE: 9-c,

5-c

,

MISSING 8-s

, claimed random picks ---> 9-c, Ace of clubs, actually missed out on either the ninja or godfather card

Scum decided to go deep undercover by picking a ton of towncards for towncred. It is just

too much of a coincidence

that 3 people decided to all pick one of the

objectively worst cards in the deck

. They got caught offguard both by the claim happy people and the fact that one of them missed out on one of the most obvious scumpicks. Vifam never could claim that he wanted to pick those cards to deny them to scum SINCE HE WAS LAST IN THE DRAFT. So either they had to sacrifice themselves straight away, or claim a card with the team that no town would ever pick. Vifam now again claimed a card that noone imo would ever pick, the 5 of clubs. I strongly suspects he's the one holding the Ace of clubs.

If im right the scum strategy is very straight forward with a simple thought process behind it. Pick pro-town cards for towncred, combined with plenty of defensive shit (Jack of clubs, 2-s, ninja/godfather) that makes you either very hard to lynch or make town not want to lynch you.

[Dunnstral]

Vifam now again claimed a card that noone imo would ever pick, the 5 of clubs.

Nobody would pick watcher...?

[Vecna]

Everyone has been avoiding fruit allergy cards like the plague. Theres even a watcher availlable with an arguably lesser downside (miller). If theres any club card to fakeclaim with zero risk of 2 other people holding it......thats the one.

I think its quite obviously that the "objectively" least desirable cards are: 8 of spades, 3 of spades, Queen of clubs and 5 of clubs. All cards where the downside is bigger than the upside. Claiming that you randomly picked 2 of those, and that there just happen to be 2 people that also picked these is already a stretch

[Vecna]

My theory being true this would mean that the upcoming trumps that activate cardcops are going to destroy the scumteam if we inspect the right people.

Who are the people arguing the hardest for the deck to be shuffled, or heart trumps being put up there instead of the card-cop cards? I know that mathblade was one of them at least.

[Dunnstral]

Hey, What card am I reviving?

[Dunnstral]

Am I reviving the 3 of clovers?
