Night 1: Unsuccessfully targeted TMM
Night 2: Successfully targeted TMM

I don't have anything else to say. The "loving idiot" thing completely checked me out of this game. I don't play mafia to get personally attacked as an alternative to actual discussion.

Good luck, town.

Oh please, it's hardly a personal insult.

And why did protect me on N2 when it was obvious that Moat was the cop?

Also, my role PM specifically mentions that I can not target the same person two nights in a row. I'm not entirely sure why that would be different for a doctor. Especially when that restriction is usually placed on the doctor to prevent the cop from claiming D1 and getting protected nightly.

Nope, calling bullshit. If you successfully targeted TMM it means that we would have had four nightkills. I get that the arsonist and poisoner need setup, but that feels like too big of a swing. Also means that one of those two nightkills got prevented N1, which runs contrary to your claim.

I'm not sure I follow you here. How would there be four deaths?

Also I don't think there is an arsonist in the traditional sense. I think the burned body is just a regular NK that has been janitored and the fire is just flavor text.

What about you being in TWEWY? I died immediately and don't pay close attention to the thread, but apparently the :cheerdoge: thing means Moat copped MMT, which explains his obstinacy about voting her.

Also, TMM hammered but Moat was on her case D1 and D2. Even if you missed the cop claim, why not protect Moat?

I think that type of stuff is the lowest form of discourse and completely runs against why I play mafia. I've checked out of games for it before. It makes the game uninteresting.

I definitely don't like the Doc claim when Moat had softclaimed Cop the day before and Merk could have spotted it when coming back to the thread. A Doc would make sense in this setup, but I 100% don't think Merk wouldn't have noticed Moat's post catching up on the thread while as Doc, when one of the first things on the Doc's priority lists is to find the Cop.

However, that being said, Lupus was quick to agree with my breadcrumbed bit and then pounce on Merk when that Moat softclaim was directed at him.

That plus the way he just reacted to Merk gives me more hesitation.

Not a fan of this, either. "Successfully targeted" just means you weren't roleblocked or anything, doesn't necessarily mean you actually stopped a kill. There's no way you should know if merk is the reason TMM is alive today.

TMM's claim also rubs me the wrong way because of the way he phrased his roleblocked night. I didn't jump to the assumption that I was roleblocked when I got back the result that I failed to target. It's obviously an option (and probably a likely one now that we have a Jailer flip), but it's not the only option.

Lupus, considering your reaction to me revealing the breadcrumb when it was directed at you: did you think Moat was softclaiming cop at the time? If so, it sure doesn't show in your posts, which seems suspicious to me, given that scum definitely caught on to the fact Moat was cop.

This is not an OMGUS vote. I truly believe he is scum.

And just to get this out of the way, I'm the town Tracker. Monothin went nowhere on N1 and I failed to track DB on N2, possibly due to RF.

So far, we've had the N0 kill be a stabbing, then N1 was shot in the head. That shot also appears on N2 along with a poison and a janitored flame kill.

Why wouldn't I think I got blocked by the jailer who just flipped? And even if that didn't happen, why wouldn't I think the scum team had a roleblocker before literally any other option?

And frankly, that is just another confusing part of your claim. Why would you assume that your failure on N1 wasn't a roleblock and instead thought that maybe I had a more unusual role?

TMM avoided voting MMT all of d1 and most of d2. Here are his comments about MMT to defend her but also leave the door open to bus when he needs:

d1:

TMMadman posted:

I am a little suspicious of MMT, but I am a bit more suspicious about how many votes she picked up and I'm concerned one of the votes behind mine is from scum. I suppose it could be Monothin too, but it feels like he could have just said something like, 'Huh, MMT's response to the pressure has been weird, so I'm going to leave my vote on her' instead of backing off it.

TMMadman posted:

It feels opportunistic.

Like several people had just said at MMT works nights and you still used 'maybe disappeared' as a reason to vote.

TMMadman posted:

Hey, I'm around I just haven't voted yet. This is a pretty tough call between the three current vote leaders.

I do think one of them is very like to be scum, but I'm just not sure which at the moment.

d2:

TMMadman posted:

I will say that my first impression of MMTs Mona case was unfavorable. It felt like a case that she had worked up prior to the thread opening and then tacked on my opening vote as a reason to post it quickly.

TMMadman posted:

I think it's quite likely that [MMT] is scum but I want to go through the votes again later.

TMMadman posted:

Also, I am absolutely fine with an MMT vote and would be voting now but I don't want to put her at -1 just yet since I'm always a big fan of letting people talk.

d2 he spends his entire time trying to start up something that isn't on MMT while keeping a 'yeah ok MMT is probably scum and I'll vote her of course' as his theme. He doesn't ever case MMT besides that Mona comment (and a distancing vote on d1).

With the Tracker claim, you see a scum player who knew he looks scummy with MMT's flip. He's trying to get in front of that with the Tracker claim.

There isn't a vote count posted within a page of the vote and it's hard to check the votes on a phone, but I'm pretty sure that MMT vote put her either back into a tie or as straight up the vote leader.

And Lupus only moved off MMT because the votes had already started to consolidate on Ecco and he doesn't live in the US. A scum Lupus could have not voted a scum MMT or moved his vote earlier due to time.

This is also something else that makes me stay suspicious of merk.
