It has to be said that Cy looks pretty bad here. The only time he really talked about UCV was in this defence of him here:
And it came at a very telling time - just after a few had joined me in voting UCV (he was L-3 at the time), so as scum he would have a motive here in trying to stem the flow.
The fact he has also generally been lurking throughout but suddenly popped up to make that defence makes it stand out all the more.

Comm also needs looking at today.
Spoiler:
This was the last post he made, and again it came at an interesting time as it was shortly after I started to apply pressure on UCV.
He makes a point of stating UCV as a town-lean, but without any actual explanation for this. He urges people to vote Lucky, perhaps directly looking to influence my vote here following my earlier argument with Lucky, but I was having none of it.
Looking at his site activity, Comm has since been online but has elected not to post.On this matter, can we get a prod on Comm please @Mod.-

Basically what I'm doing here is creating a lynch pool for us to consider today. Next one up isAthena.
I've disliked Athena's posts throughout to be honest - it feels as though she is always looking at the game at an abstract level without really getting involved or posting anything of relevance. Furthermore, she pretty much avoided directly tackling the UCV issue and instead appeared to discreetly take the conversation in different directions. Her posts regarding cytheflyguy have also been interesting and should be looked into more if one of these two were to flip red.
First we have this post which comes when I'm pressing for more votes on UCV. It came out of the blue, and I'm wondering if the motivation behind it was to discredit my opinion on UCV.In post 285, CultOfAthena wrote:By the way, here's a fresh take that's sure to get some debate started - there really isn't all that great of a reason for Luca to be as widely townread as he is.
In every post she makes after my vote on UCV she ignores the issue and tries to guide the conversation elsewhere, such as in 224, 227, 229, 230, 269 etc etc.
In 295, when I was clearly committed to lynching UCV she asks me what I think of Sesq, Moz and Zaraki - again it feels like she's trying to deflect my attention away from UCV, who she still hasn't mentioned at this point.
400 - Finally she says something about UCV (who is L-2 at this point) and it's a soft-defence of him.
419 - Explains that the people on the UCV wagon gives her pause. She has still offered no actual opinion on UCV herself by this point and this excuse feels like a cop-out. She then continues to talk about things unrelated to UCV.
472 - Congratulates me and says I'm conf Town now to her, possibly an early attempt to get in my good books ahead of D2.-

The other two in the lynch pool for today will beLaserGuyandZulfy.
Zulfy has done literally nothing.
LaserGuy has generally pinged me all game. His posts seem too manurfactured for my liking, and his reads unnatural. His justification for townreading cy early on was weak. His theory that me and Lucky are scumbuddies likewise. He criticised my case on UCV yet had nothing better to offer for his preferred lynch candidate.
In some ways he's pretty similar to Athena and avoided commenting on UCV for a long time until called-out on it, and even then showed nothing but stuborness - he said UCV was null to him, yet seemed closed-minded to my POV. When going through why he disliked my case on UCV he basically skipped over the main part, and ignored my response when I pointed this out.
452 pinged me a bit as he wouldn't offer why he scumread me, knowing it would hold no water if UCV flipped scum. I feel like Town here would just share what they're feeling regardless, but scum would be aware of the upcoming flip and would be more reluctant to spill thoughts that are not going to help their cause.
So just to clarify, today we are lynching one of the following:
cytheflyguy
Zulfy
LaserGuy
Athena

Lmao... If we go 4/4 on lynches this game I'm having a plaque made for Luca.
Now that we are post-flip I could explain why I would townread Luca quite hard even if UCV flipped town, but I'd rather not offer it up as a tool for a free townread for scum going forward. Although you can probably guess why.-

It's not my fault your faulty logic turned out to be correct. Your entire logic revolved around knowin UVC's meta, which isn't a good arguing point to convince other people. You only had four points that didn't include meta. Majority of that was tunneling. I didn't think it was right but didn't have the support for it.In post 480, Luca Blight wrote:It has to be said that Cy looks pretty bad here.

And what do you mean it happened at a "telling time", I responded as fast as I could when I got off from school. You posted around 1 am my time. That's NAI. Just because you were right once doesn't mean you're right again.-

Sesq already remarked this in his own way, but most of the readslists you posted actually did have rationale associated with them, but they were in that person's ISO. It's not uncommon for someone to form opinions on events/posts as they transpire and then summarize them in a readslist at some point. I can't see how you'd be so detached from this game to actually hold this opinion...In post 324, cytheflyguy wrote:Including myself and excluding UVC, there are four other people who gave little/literally no reasoning for their reads. I feel that UVC's meta has blinded you in the order of who you want to lynch, but these should be addressed as well down the line if we're reasoning that poor reads=a larger likelihood of being scum or not.
This also aged poorly, as now that we know UCV is scum, it comes off as Alignment-Informed. "I feel that UVC's meta has blinded you in the order of who you want to lynch, butthese should be addressed as well down the lineif we're reasoning that poor reads=a larger likelihood of being scum or not." I could be wrong, but that bolded portion almost says "once we lynch UCV and he flips scum, we should also scrutinize these people".
On the other hand, it's kind of obvscum to come to the defense of a partner on D1, but Occam's Razor and all....

@Cy:As I said previously, all you did was use half of one point to dismiss my entire case.
How is the timing NAI? UCV was being voted by multiple players and obviously whoever his buddies are will have been feeling the heat, so it's very likely someone would step in here to try and slow the wagon down.
It's all the more suspicious given how inactive you've been generally this game, while at times intentionally lurking, for you to suddenly pop up to hard-defend a null read of yours who turned out to be scum.-

I realize I'm not the best when it comes to arguments, so I wouldn't try to wk scum pals willy-nilly? Regardless of alignment, I'd want to only defend people who I think deserve to be saved.

P-Edit: Oh my god
I'm sorry but this is such a bad argument. Are you're saying I made a good point at a time but it's too good because it seems like I knew UVC's role? I'm sorry but I have to call bullshit. I was pointing out his hypocrisy as well. We could only judge UVC off of what we knew unless we did the meta ourselves. Luca never once gave quotes from other games with UVC. UVC did the same thing other people did with the four fucking posts Luca called UVC out on. But however they, for some unknown reason, did not appear on Luca's radar as hard. He was truly blinded by his tunnel. He was also correct. These are not mutually exclusive terms.In post 491, Impede wrote:

That being said, I had no real reasonings as to why UVC was town, so I never truly defended him, I only defended how stupid a read was that happened to be correct. If we go by his logic we should look at those slots as well.-

It was NAI because I would have responded whenever I got out of class. I get out at 12:45 and I get to my dorm around 1. I responded like 10 minutes later. As soon as I saw it I didn't agree with it. Regardless of alignment, I would have said the exact same thing.In post 492, Luca Blight wrote:@Cy:As I said previously, all you did was use half of one point to dismiss my entire case.

The second parts a more fair point, but I'm better at detecting illogical arguments then piecing together people's lies, which is something I'm improving on. My two biggest posts have been just about that.
Also, you're missing the piont when I talked about how unreliable your meta is? Like that was a huge part of my argument too that you keep on forgetting to address?-

Who cares? He was right, and IMO he was right for the right reasons. Do you still question his rationale? You must see that it wasn't purely meta-based. There were a couple conclusions that were easier to come to based on meta (i.e: that it wasn't JUST UCV's personality that made him fence-sit and buddy).In post 493, cytheflyguy wrote:I'm sorry but I have to call bullshit.

Why are you getting so worked up? We're just following logical conclusions. No need to get all defensive. There's not even a wagon on you yet, and if there was, it would be reckless to pursue it overly quickly when we still have the entire day left. You have plenty of time to try to act town before L-1.-

Oh yeah sorry I'm not actually angry/upset/etc. I am worked up. I don't see any of this as logical. I'm not playing the game for my sake, but for the sake of the town, yeah sure whatever I get lynched, but I don't like how it all is dependent on a read that's 3/4th meta without anything being backed up. If I or anyone acts scummy and they're correctly called out, then it's deserved. This is not correctly called out doe.In post 497, Impede wrote:

Also I stopped caring about acting town. I have a tendency of being scum read over town read (surprisingly with no previous lynches or being night killed), so my goal is to make sure the game isn't bullshit and not worrying about what is and isn't town like.
Also, I fully believe that his line of logic wasn't the best. Yeah, he came up with some good reasons, but there were reasons that applied to everyone.
I already talked about one, so I won't get into detail about that.
1 & 2) (AKA 129 189) It's day 1 and UVC just transferred in. Like I wouldn't expect him to come up with too many reads off the top of his head. I usually don't, so why would I expect him to do so when he just came in a couple of days prior. He came up with some shitty reads that are unexplained but so do a lot of people and that's seen as towny to other people when I call it out (These usually come from "big name" players, however, so people make the mistake of trusting them/dealing with the fact that they won't change) but regardless, I'm not sure how this example is scummy over others.
3) (AKA 159) I've seen this as a slight push to getting people's mind on the idea of it. To get people talking. People tend to respond more to questions than statements.
4) 444 UVC already expanded on this before he died. Like, yeah he's scum, but his reasoning isn't wrong imo.
If you really wanted to, you could have pressed anyone else, but it's the person you have the most experience meta-ing, which I feel clouds your judgment. So many other people, especially those you mentioned today, acted way scummier, but you chose someone who didn't draw too much attention to themselves because you knew their meta game. To me, it looked like you did a lot of reaching to prove why he was worse than other lynches.-
