i think opop is unlikely to be lying about that, because i don't understand what the motivation would be. it would be easier to just claim bulletproof

and the fact that he didn't take that obvious out to lie about having a townie role makes me trust him a little more

Either way there was a reason the vig failed, which is an outstanding mystery. Are we concerned about outing a day-doc or something? Or are we down to theorize?

there are basically four possibilities, now that i think about it:

1. dans is lying. very unlikely, because very few roles occur to me other than vig that could cause an on-demand 'nothing happened' with a day action. that action wording also matches up with a vig given this flavor
2. opop is lying. possible but the motivation seems sketchy
3. both are lying and that was a scum gambit. also very unlikely for the same reason as 1.
4. shenanigans, non-obvious reason why it failed and both are telling the truth

i think 4 is the most likely case here, and if they're both telling the truth then dans seems quite townie and opop seems slightly townie for the stated reason

Clearing Opop purely on setup spec is frustrating. Scum can even be BP too.

I see what you're saying about why wouldn't he just claim BP, but idk Opop's scum style some people are just afraid to lie

also although im not sure i agree that this is scum keats (because keats seems like exactly the personality type that would want to speculate about what exactly happened), i agree that speculating about what did occur beyond 'it was probably shenanigans' is likely to be fruitless at this time

my kneejerk susses atm are RWC and cube on the basis that both were willing to jump on both the maerlyn train, a bad case, and on the wins train, a town flip. I think the deal yesterday was that everyone being pushed was town. except for possibly grandicap; i don't have a strong read on him, and votes went onto both wins and maerlyn more easily than they did him

##vote RWC, cube voted wins way earlier before the train started leaving the station

Fancy: is making zero effort to find scum. This is my 3rd game with them and the lack of posting is reading like not knowing how to engage.

Grandi: I appreciate the dream case and that he has limited time to play, but his play fits as scum. Could be.

Not Voting (1): AFancyQuestionMark

With 15 alive, it's 8 votes to execute. The current deadline is March 09th, 2024 at 9 p.m. EST -- that's in about 22 minutes.

First vote on wins happened via shark at 7:47. An hour 10 before deadline. Shark had voted here a bit earlier, along with Cube, and Keats at various points, but at this point, he was first on board.
Nothing happens until Cube, then TM, then Dans, then shwinn vote him between 8:27 and 8:33, taking this from a single vote to 5. And it doesn't slow. Yuming and fool vote at 8:35 & 8:36, and RWC hammers at 8:36.
It goes from 1 vote to 8 votes in 9 minutes. It was such a groundswell for literally no case from any of the voters.
Shark's earlier post is

sharkmafia posted:

i could vote wins, he's currently doing his best impression of a potted plant after dropping a vote on maer, who i don't think is particularly scummy.

i'd prefer to kill the guy what i'm voting though
Which is the closest thing to a case.
Everything else is an empty vote.

So, was this scum trying to derail an execution on someone else? I don't see it there because Maer ended with 2 votes, RWC and Cube hopped off of her to go to wins.
Opop ended with 1, but was derailed by the failed vig... was this the hopeful scumsecution and they had to scramble when the vig blew the wind the other way.
If Maer was scum, there had been talk about her all day in some aspect or another, when wins gained traction did they just hop on to save her? If so, why wasn't Maer on the train too? And Cube and RWC hopped off of her too, and those are 2 names that I would throw in the vaguely scumbucket.

The whole way the execution went down is confusing to me. I'm looking for a pattern but am not seeing it.
I refuse to believe that scum wasn't involved, but I can't see them as a driver, that kind of groundswell can only happen by accident. I can see a scum or 2 getting caught up in it, but I don't feel like it was engineered. Especially since there is not really a clear picture of who they were trying to save.
I think shark's vote looks the best. I think RWC looks the worst, but she voted at the same time as Fool, so she might not have known it was going to be hammer, and burrito problems.
I was hoping this analysis was going to provide clarity, but it didn't.

I agree with Grandis vote analysis there. That vote train doesn’t have much to dig into, it was like scums perfect D1.

That’s why I’m feeling my Opop vote and want to hear from Fancy. Scum perspective D1 was things were smooth sailing so no need to stick their neck out anywhere. That keats vote is overselling it’s really bad.

Johnny Keats
Jan 24, 2023

I don't think scum can resist using their vote to benefit their own team, as long as it wouldn't make them immediately suspicious. In day 1 this applies the most, because from a scum perspective it should feel very easy to avoid suspicion for voting a town player on day 1. Further, they would be more attracted to a sudden swerve on town than in a vote that has history, so regardless of the alignments of Maer and Opop, I see scum wanting that to happen more than one of those two to be put over the edge. Maer snd Opop were at -5 which is not scary, so I don't think we can even assume scum was worried if they were *both* scum. This I say to put in perspective where our information lies. I think there was unfortunately little cause for scum to act rashly, even if both Maer and Opop are scum, but in all cases scum would be the most attracted to the Wins swerve

If you look at the timing, my vote came one minute after yours and the same minute as FOS, it is loving rude to call it a "weird hammer." At the time I actually typed it, it didn't look like a hammer vote to me at all.

I can still see Opop and Maer as scum/scum wagons D1. The failed vig makes me think Dans is likely town, but the fact that Opop didn't actually get thrown out means nothing to me as to whether he's scum.

The only sure thing I guess is that was not a fake day action. Just one that didn't work.

I agree with Grandi's thoughts on the vote; I don't see Cube starting a known mis-ex as scum but I think there's a scum or two in the middle

TM looks worse to me for this that Cube pointed out:

CubicalSucrose posted:

Yeah I'd rather vote wins too but there wasn't really anyone else on board with that. Except...TMor? Who didn't even vote wins.

##vote wins


Earlier TM said he wanted to kill wins as a vibe check (what does that even mean?) but didn't vote him until closer to deadline which looks like distancing from a bad vote

##vote TM

I could see voting for Opop or Sand, both give me light scum pings (Sand is lurking, Opop feels kinda disengaged vaguely.... It's hard to define)

I'm not opposed to a Fancy vote but I feel like that's less likely to result in scum, the last game I played in Fancy got booted D1 because of just their behavior/lurking and were town

Maerlyn posted:

fool you focused on grandi quite a bit D1, do you have any other thoughts on who might be scum?

My thoughts on the end of day vote rush are that EITHER
1) scum were afraid that a deadline panic would land on you/opop, in which case scum would be in the first couple wins votes to try to push them ahead for those last minute nolunch avoidance
OR
2) the wins votes happened organically from town because of the general lack of consensus and dwindling time, in which case scum would prefer to not join the vote if they weren't already part of it. considering how fast the momentum built at the end

so, to that end: in scenario 1 shark cube mortiz, in scenario 2 opop, keats, sand, grandi, and you.

I have an uneasy feeling about your boosting of grandi today alongside of both being candidates in scenario 2, plus my lasting suspicion from day 1 on grandi. I think it's pretty possible that you and grandi are scumbuds.

I do no think that opop is clear because they survived a shot. One scum with bulletproof in a game with a vig isn't an uncommon counter. I fairly firmly read keats as town. Null on sand atm, not enough to go on.

btw i do not buy the idea that all of the scum coordinated on the elimination one way or another. scum have absolutely no need to coordinate day 1 and it's often counterproductive to do so because they want to disassociate from each other while the stakes are relatively low and town has nothing do go on

there are definitely scum on wins, and the avenue is worth doing but the likely split is 2-1 or 2-2 on/off depending on how many scum are in this game

sharkmafia
Aug 20, 2018

cube and rwc are the most suspicious because they switched easily onto cases that were, respectively, very bad and resulted in a town flip

this would fit scum not really giving a poo poo and just going on whoever. assuming scum coordination is out of character with how they'd be likely to play and also presupposes that the people being pushes were scum which i don't think is actually that likely, other than maybe grandi as I said (but i like his posting today)
