Okay, so, a couple of things.
Firstly, my townread on AC. It stems mainly from the following:
In post 897, Almost Chara wrote:RC though I'll call it a "sinking feeling" for now. The replace out at this precise time right after the Newbie game finished (where he was scum and I called him out but nobody listened) doesn't bode well with me.
Here's the

Of course I could be wrong and imagining things, but that's how I view things right now anyway.

[somewhere around here A50 starts being called out by a bunch of people for accusing RC of strategically replacing out]
In post 927, Almost Chara wrote:Anyway, it's now either TM or RC for me. If EITHER flips red I'm going after BOTH nancy and Postie (T&B). The reasoning is in the hydra PT for now, but I'm fairly confident. (Confident enough to drive a lynch on either nancy/Postie before RC/TM if I could. My problem is I'm still weak in constructing cases and making people follow them, so I'll take the TM lynch first to use the Mod-confirmed flip afterwards as it would no longer be "working under the assumption"; i.e. the alignment cannot be refuted).

My explanation is this:
Since RC knew better, then he probably would not have fed his own scum team false info. So who did? THINKBIG. He was the other one in that game and he thought I faked a guilty on him, and he blamed me post-game, so he is the one who told them about that game.
When? Long before I had provided the link in this game thread.
Why? Because while momo was pushing me with weak sauce (I've never seen him play like that) it was THINKBIG who got paranoid by my VT claim. Scum tried to evaluate that claim to see if it was true (being scum they already know I'm Town, but whether I'm really a VT is what they were trying to figure out). ThinkBig told them about the Newbie game proceedings from his own PoV, and that's how BOTH thought they were telling the right narrative.
Again: I don't know why they would defend RC. RC cannot be pocketed, and he had already requested to replace out (which is why the whole subject was brought up my me in the first place), so I have absolutely no explanation why they would do that.
But that's besides the point. The point is: WRONG NARRATIVE .. TWO SLOTS ... SHORT TIME = Most probably were fed the info through the same source, and that source is most likely ThinkBig.
So, I'm proud to call Thinkmomo, Tea & Biscuits AND nancy: the 3 partners in crime in this game.
(snipped slightly for length)
I would expect A50 as scum, on being told that accusing RC of strategically replacing out is kinda dumb and shitty, to either say "sorry guys yeah that was kinda shitty of me" or double down on it. What I wouldn't expect him to do is talk to his hydra partner and then say "actually, I have CAUGHT THE ENTIRE SCUMTEAM". That feels very much like a confbiased town thing to do.
Especially

this part.
He openly admits there are major flaws in his argument, but then goes on to say that that doesn't really matter because he's caught the entire scumteam anyway. It feels
very
confbias-y, as opposed to scum trying to sell a mislynch. I don't think that scum!A50 would think this "case" would convince anyone, especially as he goes on to say
In post 968, Almost Chara wrote:Now, do I even care if anyone believes me? Absolutely not. I'm fairly satisfied to have called the scum team. Whether the Town players are willing to lynch them one after one is totally up to them. The Newbie game may have ended in a scum win but I personally will call it a personal win, because I DID call the scumsters (both of them) in that one too and it was Town!Accountant, Town!TB (on D2) and Town!Drixx (on D3) who opposed me, so totally not my fault that my calls were spot on and they didn't listen.
I'm reading the smug satisfaction here as mildly towny too.
Now, I think there is something to be said for A50 potentially just wanting to pull a case out of their ass to look towny, but overall I find the way the whole thing developed and played out a lot of more likely to come from town.
