Assuming that the information is accurate and means that there's scum in AU, Legion, and MediFed (which I firmly believe there is), I guess we can try to narrow it down some for each empire.

For Legion, I'm fine clearing f_v based on Ernie's town behaviour. I don't believe that she's the scum. I'm torn between Crazyeyes and 50 though since both are exhibiting some pretty suspicious and anti-town behaviour. 50 saying that because his team probably won't meet their wincon he doesn't care about scumhunting anymore is quite anti-town and his repeated insistence that there's no possible way his empire could have scum because...reasons? also doesn't make sense.

Crazyeyes seems convinced that it was the diplomats for whatever reason I don't understand. He says he isn't denying that there's scum in Legion, but when evidence is presented to him that there must be, he tries to find an alternate explanation. It doesn't make sense to me and seems to only be distracting from the conversation since it seems pretty obvious where this information came from (if not why it was given to us).

They're both pretty suspicious, but I think 50's actions are more indicative of someone whining when things are going badly for them while Crazyeyes looks like he's trying to steer the conversation in non-useful ways.

##vote Crazyeyes


As for scum in AU, I don't think Sandwolf did it. Like others have said, he could have covered in multiple ways from his role as diplomat. Also his reaction to the picture felt very genuine. He was both very surprised and very confused by what it meant.

Byers wasn't there at all during the conversation and the person who put the picture in came in, dropped it, and left. It was information which pertained almost entirely to Legion and MediFed (with Jake thrown in) which was the topic of conversation because we were discussing the deal capps offered. So presumably the person who did it was there during that conversation.

Since obviously I'm excluding myself since I'm town that leaves Hal and bowmore. Between them I'm not sure who could be the scum. They both reacted in similar ways to the information and I've had no previous reads on them so on its own I have a hard time narrowing it down.


MediFed I'd have to take a closer look at since I'm not sure about them.

Talk me through these. If Sandwolf did it, why all the crazy secrecy? How would he get the information? Unless 50 has claimed to you in the doc that he gave a whole bunch of secrets away to an enemy for nothing, how are you coming at it this way?

You are asking me to explain why I think a scum Sandwolf would do something (this is not to say Sand is scum, but I have not ruled it out). I cannot do this. I can say that if I were going to orchestrate something so preposterous as this supposed leak (which we haven't seen any actual proof of, yet), I would certainly try to be the last person people thought about when it came up. That being said I have no idea why it went down as we think it did. It would be very helpful if we could actually see the image in question, though.


QuoProQuid posted:

Sorry to come back to this, but I just realized that your reaction to people casing and calling you out for scummy behavior was not to address those cases, but to attack the idea of equal scum distribution as though it clears you of anything.

Would again like to recommend Crazyeyes for the lynch.

You mistake me at every turn. I am not even remotely attempting to address the cases on me. Such a defense would no doubt be taken as me either trying to backpedal or be further used and twisted to incriminate me, therefore I will not even attempt to do so. I don't think me correcting you clears me of anything. I do think it had to be said, though.

I will confirm that is my power. It also seems in line with what 50 and Ernie both shared in the doc.

I will say that I reached the same conclusion as Asiina regarding the African Union. As mentioned previously, the Sandwolf-Asiina-Byers debacle looked like town players stumbling over each other and being stoked by scum. Hal's had a few posts that have given me a bad feeling, so I am inclined to suspect him. His resistance to posting that Excel sheet is also suspect in my mind. bowmore has flown under my radar and I need to reread his content.

Is that picture original or did you upload it to imgur?

Having seen the image in question, I am compelled to revise my previous statements. It is not a diplomat (unless 50 is scum). I was led to believe it was Empire Win conditions leaked, not actual player roles.

Ah, so there's the kill they can possibly influence, even if it might eventually take out one of their own, vs. one they can't at all. Got it. The whole leak thing seems pretty nonsensical to me, outing that you have people in three empires for that return just seems like terrible play. 8bux's thing to verify it's a real leak is a good idea.

It was originally uploaded to imgur. I didn't know if it would be deleted so I immediately reuploaded it to make sure I didn't lose it. That's my reuploaded version.

My resistance to posting it is in reality that should have been decided by the empires who were affected by it and not me. What do I have to gain personally from keeping it from you if I am scum?

The less information the town knows, the easier it is to manipulate them. The issue is not me seeing it. The issue is that you were willing to allow the scum to have exclusive information. That's not pro-town in the slightest.
