I think wwm is bussing shanakin because shanakin is very obviously scum.

The whole point of stats are lost if you keep it a secret. Why Didn't you tell the world eh?
So out of curiosity, since I can't really ask this after the act (I guess I'd get to see it but I'd prefer not to), let's say I get lynched, and I am innocent as I continue to claim: Now what happens? Who's scum etc?

The problem with your questions is that you are assuming I think both DC and Shanakin are scum together.

While I do think they are both scum, my opinion of each is irrespective of the alignment of the other. I'm not trying to tie my thoughts about them together, because I am still keeping in mind that I could be wrong about one or both.

As for your second question, I don't know. It would depend on who flipped. It would depend on future posts from both of you. It would depend on who voted and the reasons they gave for voting.

I see.

Personally I am not getting the traitor vibe from Shanakin in our mason interactions but he will most likely tell you the same thing about me, and he did, when you ask if he is getting one from me. I very willing to drop a vote for DC if she dosen't give me a reason not to as I said earlier.

I really believe we can't afford not to lynch SOMEONE today or we will be losing hard.

I can see this from WWM's perspective. If I thought an experienced player and a new player were both scum, I'd want to lynch the more experienced player first. The longer you leave inexperienced scum alive, the more likely they are to make it obvious who their scum buddies are.

I'm not the kind of player who takes a claim at face value. I find DGK to be scummy. That hasn't changed. Couple of possibilities exist - 1. I'm wrong, DGK is town, Grandi is a cop, and will likely get NK'd tonight because our doctor is dead - statistically most likely; 2. I'm right, DGK is scum godfather, Grandi is a town cop who got a town result on DGK who will likely get NK'd tonight because our doctor is dead - obviously I'd prefer this scenario, and with a game this size having a scum godfather, roleblocker, and vanilla scum is a likely possibility. But again, this is speculation; 3. I'm right, DGK is scum, Grandi is scum and is lying to protect his scum bud - highly unlikely that Grandi would put himself out there this early.

I have to balance who I think is scum with who I think is likely to be lynched. I still don't trust DGK, but barring a cop counterclaim, that lynch is not happening today, and it would be foolish for me to pursue it. DC is my second choice, I still find her scummy and don't like how votes melted off her D1.

What are your thoughts on Shanakin now?
He's still scum, but he's newbie scum and has hung himself out to dry really early, so it will be easier to lynch him. I'm trying to get the bigger threats out of the way now.

This is a really bad way to view votes. Until the deadline is close, a vote is nothing more than a symbolic show of where you believe scum is. If you legitimately believe someone is scum, it doesn't make sense to pull a vote off of them until the deadline, as the vote is what shows your suspicion. If he doesn't believe the cop claim then he should be fighting to convince the rest of us to his viewpoint, not going "oh well no-one agrees might as well vote elsewhere".

I can't decide if doing that is scummy or just being bad at mafia.

This is dumb, you can definitely think more than one person is scum at a time and you can't be voting for both. I agree with WWM, I'm not sure I believe in the cop claim, although I lean towards godfather rather than Grandi just making it up. But it's not the best vote today, so it's fine to go to a different choice.

Why did you investigate DGK? Why not Kleedrac, who you focused a significant amount of time on yesterday and encouraged people to vote for (1) (2) (3)?

Why claim on D2? A mislynch is bad but potentially losing both the doctor and the cop on consecutive nights seems almost inordinately worse.

I think bowmore is someone who isn't really paying a whole lot of attention, but I don't see that as a scumtell for him. I feel like the Shanakin case is pretty shaky. Yes he (she?) was one of the people who didn't vote for DC at the end of the day, and that is suspicious, but I'll take Shanakin and Gridlocked at their word that Shanakin forgot deadline. The rest looks like typical newbie awkwardness and is generally null. With a gun to my head I'd vote Shanakin, but I think there are much better votes out there currently.
