As much fun as it is to vote Pine.

Realistically, this is where we should be.
Oh a list.
Here is another just as useful list.
Bread.
Milk.
Eggs.
Butter.
Cheese.
Tea.
Biscuits.
Crumpets.
Sausage.

Let's say Nancy stopped existing, whom is next on your scum list, and why?

Also, is Omgus always scummy, or is it just an attack to weaken someone's return vote on them?

What's your opinion on Dreal, whom is hovering uselessly in the middle of your list? Surely you must have an opinion, my partner was showing me their last game which they where and comparing similarities. And I have to agree they loom scummy from a Meta view.
But without me looking into it, my meta view would be biased. Yet I trust postie, and I believe they are right at this point.

I don't know if this is coincidental or if Nacho took inspiration but I'm amused.

P-Edit:
@Empking:
Feel free to explain why-I see nothing wrong with the latter paragraph and the former is just them not getting that the list is a town-scum list, evidenced by not knowing the question to who would be next on the scum list.
Why did he ask what Dreal was doing in the middle of the list?

AC is almost certainly scum. They are inviting votes so that people think they are town, not worried about losing the game if they are lynched.

Almost didn't 'Town Claim' -> 'lol I gambitted', she 'town claim' -> 'awful excuse involving role cops' -> 'lol, i gambited'. The town-gambit explanation looks more like an excuse - and if people didn't buy and still pushed it then she'd come up with another - for a scum gambit.

That paragraph probable come across as more certain than I really feel.

So that was a lot of noise, with only Shephard changing his vote or posting or interacting with something that could cause his vote to change. Everything else was - pretty much - worthless spam. However, at least T&B is still the biggest wagon even if only on three votes.

Although, I think there is a psychological thing where all these spam posts reduce the pressure on scum since is increases the number of posts between votes and makes them feel safe.

Is there any particular reason around the 'scum/town' thing to think that it was an eight? I mean, yes just because it can come from town doesn't mean it must be coming from town, but the counterpoint - and the one which seems more like it is being made - just because something can be done by scum doesn't mean that the null-tell was being done by scum here.

Honestly, I'm sort of playing DA since I hope that there is a good reason to think it is an eight, and it has just got lost somewhere.

I already presented my case on Dreal. 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 link

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

~A50
Why would he have had to wait for that to finish. He already knew his alignment before that point; unlike the other players.

I appreciate the points against Think, particularly Woodcutters(?) meta point, but post 277 is the towniest post in the game by far.

Yeah, I'm far from convinced that no cop means lynch Infinity. Even more so if it turns out that Ari crafted the set up (or seems like he did) with interesting roles coming from interesting characters. I can imagine designing a set up by going 'huh, he was never crowned that could make an interesting Miller' and then not changing it as the Cop gets thrown out or is never put in.

Scum read.

TWC: It's down to 277. It matches so precisely what I was thinking that I don't think it could come from scum. Particularly, because that sort of thing - whether a scum or town gambit; and scum would know which - would have a much different internal reaction than town would; either glee or horror.

AC: just realised that I didn't answer all your questions. There's something I don't like about your posts in general, but the Vanilla claim and the things surrounding it are the only things that I can point to as concrete.

I'm not a believer in cases. Never have been. Town discussing and migrating to a lynch is much more effective at hitting scum than simply producing a Schelling point around one particular player.

I think thinking Think flaked because Momo flaked flaked because Think flaked because he doesn't like being scum is a stretch. It's also claiming something pretty ugly about the two heads so I hope it is not true.

While I don't at all disagree with Prism's 974 re: Empking, I do think that Sakura Wars is a bad example of his scumrange in general. Something that I like about his play this game is his lack of agenda; I think he probably has a tendency to tunnel as scum (in Sakura Wars he tunneled LUV, in the Mini Normal we played together he tunneled Joshz and TwoFace, and in Open 665 which I looked up to confirm my theory, he ended up tunneling Alisae. His play here feels more like he's trying to sort the game out as opposed to trying to catch someone on a gotcha point.

In addition to the two points that Prism brought up (that also seem pretty genuine to me), I also liked this post by Empking:

I do dislike the assertion that ThinkMomo is somehow lock-town from 277 as he says here, though; one good point shouldn't make a player a townread for the rest of the game.
It's not impossible that I would change my mind. If there's some voting, role, or associative tells that come up then I won't continue to stand with it, but at the moment he's my top town read. Which served me well by keeping me from going with the 'Think lurks as scum' push - I know Almost says and has given two other reasons - before the Rogue One counter-example.

In post 1404, The Wood Cutters wrote:The argument that they only came up with the gambit excuse after they got attacked for the initial attack is weakened by Almost50's posts immediately after the claim (and the claim itself); notice how they specifically call us out when they claim (this is consistent with their claim that they were trying to read us). Posts that also bolster their claim can be found here (specifically asking for mastina to respond) and here (where he gets annoyed that he's not getting the chance to interact with us in the way that he wants).
@Farside - Could you post a more complete response about the catchup posts of mine that you thought were garbage and why you thought that my early case on Prism was scummy?

That AC wanted to deal with Mastina: Yes, very clear. That does not mean, however, that Mastina was not meant to convince everyone that's AC was an actual VT.

It's possible he's trying this as a gambit to look town in general, but unless his process was "do something convoluted as all hell and assume it makes me universally townread", I find that doubtful.
In other words, if mastina can actually read him, then making such an out there move is likely to draw her attention, and not all that likely to make her read him as town. If she can't, then all of the wheel spinning just to gain our confidence also seems like a huge waste of time; we'd be a good ally for scum to have, absolutely, but it doesn't make sense for *this* to be the way they go about it.
Does it make sense for *this* to be the way about finding your alignment? It make much more sense as a high-risk high-reward scumplay than a a high-risk barely-a-reward town play.

CK happened in the last few hours. Having lasted 'all day phase'. CK cannot be the counter wagon to Having. Yet that is your first sentence.

Well fitz was a town wagon. So obviously scum wouldn't have motivation to find a CW for that. It's possible that scum piled on fitz at the end to save CK (so fitz would be the CW to CK) but my main point is that fitz wasn't a counter to any other wagon.
Almost. Wrath.

Pushing Wraith wouldn't have gotten them there any faster than pushing Having. Almost is scum.
If scum were pushing fitz and not wraith, that means there were more town votes on wraith than on fitz.

Why wouldn't scum just switch to wraith then? They could've used wraith's disengagement as an excuse.
U
Same thing the other way around.

If scum were pushing both, they could've consolidated and pushed a CW better that way.

There's no way that scum were unable to push a CW of any kind as long as town is voting town.
They did push a counter wagon. Having got lynched. Yes they could have goes with the two townies voting Wraith rather than the two townies voting Having, but why should they? Having got lynched. They succeeded.

They pushed a counter wagon. Almost is still alive.

Yoho! Hello! Over here!!

You do realize that we were the first vote on fitz wagon and we pushed it the hardest. Yes? So scum joining the "two townies voting Having" doesn't exactly rhyme with "AC is still scum" by any extension.

~A50
You were not in danger if being lynched when you started to push that. If you're trying to argue "if we were scum then for self-preservation we would have gone with Wraith rather than starting a push on Think" then I don't think that's valid at all. If you're not then that only adds another reason why you'd continue on Having rather than switching to join the Wraith wagon.

Dreamers looking very town over the last few pages.

Both Titus and Shep seemed to realise that Prism was the partner. There's no reason for scum-Titus to get it out explicitly, whereas town-Titus could have been thinking Prism or no one.

Personally I wouldn't have tried to get a Mason claim, but I would have run Drealmerz up either. Frankly, the people that run him up and we're just happy to have outed a power role are where I'd be looking at from that wagon.

I'm happy with my T&B vote, and if T&B is scum then I think his buddies will be quite heavily on the Titus wagon.

Because most of us are? Because you and Almost both went together from forcing Drealmerz to claim to campaigning for Titus to be lynched, never once considering that Dreamerlz could have been lying about being a Mason. Wheras town would generally put somebody at L- days-in Day Two with at least some thinking that their taret might be scum.

THAT -in itself- is a scum claim. King John was a traitor to his own brother King Richard and tried to topple him off the throne during the Crusades. Furthermore, he upset most nobles and he finally dies during a civil war that had started because of his policies.

The bolded below is from wikipedia. King John is a villain.

Ralph Turner describes as "distasteful, even dangerous personality traits", such as pettiness, spitefulness and cruelty. These negative qualities provided extensive material for fiction writers in the Victorian era, and John remains a recurring character within Western popular culture, primarily as a villain in films and stories depicting the Robin Hood legends.
(shrug) I didn't make the set up.

I can get behind lynching me first.

no, you had said you didn't like having to make the claim "even now" when you made it

why didn't you like having tomake the claim? it makes no sense to me, if you've got 1 chance to clear someone, why the hesitance or dislike of it at all?

and why did you wait so long when, if titus is town like you claim to believe, scum could have potentially hammered at any point (or a townie for that matter, say prism came in and was liek 'yep kill titus time' and hammered and you hadn't outted your supposed result)
When you've played for almost 9 years, then you'll develop a distaste for unprompted claiming too is all I can say to that.

If scum 'lolhammered' then I'd be glad we caught scum. If town 'lolhammered' then I'd feel no guilt; you have to assume a modicum of competence from your teammates. "ay prism came in and was liek 'yep kill titus time' and hammered and you hadn't outted your supposed result" then I would have felt awful. However, that did not happen because I overcame my distaste and claimed before it did.

However, I don't see how you can possibly call my distaste unreasonable when it is obviouisly super-reasonablesince since by my unprompted claim I've allowed Infinity to line up two town lynches on the trot.

No. The WIFOM-poisoned well problem still stands.

It's all tainted by the fact that a One-Shot Cop has absolutely no reason to withhold their result. That Empking did calls everything about his motives into question.
I would rather have acted like I did than like you did, to be quite blunt.

Drealmerz: I'm going to be really frustrated if Titus is a GF, but it is looking that way with her trying to shut down discussion.

PEdit: It's a role that has no mechanical effects chara, so...
If it's making you town-read him then it obviously is a power, and needs to be taken into account. I get not wanting to out someone else's power role, but you volunteered a picture of the set up that you knew to be false. Only scum are in that habit.

~Chara
The discussion was not on the set up. Infinity created the discussion and he did so in a way that he knew to be false. I don't think town would engage in a trick like that.

I think the conf-towns holding off their votes is sensible.

Vote: Infinity

I don't think we have that much power. The roleblocker is not only limited but probably hurt us this game - I think Wraith was right in think that's how the kill got pass him - my role is decent but limited (and was made negative-utility by CK's most-prominent-lurker play, FV is pretty weak (although this one seems buffed a little), and Masons are like half a PR each. Doctor's fine but it struggles to complement the power that the rest of us have.

In post 3052, Almost Chara wrote:Like; the whole friggin' idea behind having lynched Titus over Empking was because I proposed Empking was trying to save SCUM!Titus for one more day. Titus DID flip Scum, and all of a sudden what Empking did became his alibi???
Which was obvously wrong. Since, Godfather is only super-powerful if I'm telling the truth about my role.
I will ask one more time: WHY would a ONE-SHOT COP hold his investigation result until his target is wagoned to L-1?? What's the town motive behind that?? Make it likely for the lynch to go anyway because nobody trusted him?? Waste the Town's time so they have to rush on another lynch w/o thinking it over?? Protecting himself when he is effectively a VT from then on?? GIVE ME A FRIGGIN' REASON.

~A50
Where to start here.
1. There was no need to 'rush on another lynch' we had loads of time after my claim.
2. Its not 'practically a VT' anymore than the Masons are, it gives informaton that the scum vould exploit.
3. There is information gained from the wagon on Titus and it wouldn't make sense to preempt that possbility.
4. If claimed immediately then Titus (if he hadn't been a GF) would have had a target on his back. I may have been practically a VT, but my result certainly wasn't. It'd make no more sense than Prism outting Drealmerz before Drealmerz was on L-1.
5. At the most charitale your chain of logic is that ione should claim immediately because nobody will beleive you if you claim when the target is l-1 because you should claim immediately. But that's obviously circular and a bad equillibrium.

Honestly, in hindsight, I should have claimed when Prism did, but 1) I was busy at the time 2) hindsight is 20-20 3) I don't think any of you armchairs would have either.

that's 2 and 2 which makes 4 (yes, I double-checked)

4/13 chances to get an interesting result

9/13 chances to get a non-interesting result

that's a 4:9 ratio which makes it 44.44444444444444444444444444% chance vs. 55.5555555555555555555555555555% chance

seems to make total sense

and it'd also make sense, like I said, for him to claim 1-shot when not
In a game with 13 players, getting a single cop result with the caveat of "oh and btw it might be fake" makes your role essentially useless.

-- Postie
Not quite, but yeah my role (like a three-shot RB) is not super-powerful. However, since Miller is an auto-claim then I do not think it is that sensible to hold it against me. To be honest, my role might just be to counter 'Oh no Cop the miller must be lying go lynch him'.

Prism was pushing for a Mass Claim. Almost may have already claimed, but his partner hadn't.

I kind of just want to vote Almost based on how awful his near constant "I totally wouldn't do that as scum. Trust me in that. Don't be an idiot." Is. However, I can't since he's my biggest scum read.

It wasn't a serious point really, but to explain:

Imagine that you are in a desert. Dying of thirst. You also love Irn Bru. A spring suddenly appears - an Irn Bru sprint. You cannot drink from that spring because you like rn Bru. You can only drink from it because you are thirsty. That is the far more dominating motive.

But as I said, it is meant as more of a joke really.
