I don't think that clears Hal at all. Not saying it makes him scum. But he'd absolutely say something like that about someone who almost got voted out, even if they're both scum.

I'm liking Hal for Town because of this post. Normally I don't like turbos, but if he were scum and knew Ixt was scum I don't think he would have started a second push after his team managed to dodge the first one.

This is absolutely awful. If he was on the scum team then bussing his buddy would be the easiest way to score potential pro-town posts if people were going to go back and look at his history.

I'm assuming that it's either vig or 3p. Two scum teams for this size of game doesn't seem particularly likely in my opinion.

Yes, this is a flavour vote. But flavour does seem to have a strong correlation to role in this game: the Enchantress beguiles people into loving her, hence Loved, and Fandral is one of the Warriors Three - his mason buddies are presumably Hogun and Volstagg. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest the guy who just claimed to be a psychopathic killer and the former lover of our dead scum is perhaps not on the side of light.

This is really weak, even from a flavor perspective. If you'll remember, Skurge redeemed himself and earned his place in Valhalla.

Eventually, he joined the heroes of Asgard in a mission to Hel, where he sacrificed his axe to destroy Naglfar, the ship of the dead, and delay Ragnarok, and sacrificed his life to hold the bridge at Gjallerbru so the heroes could escape the forces of Hel. After a time trapped in Hel, he joined the honored dead in Valhalla.

I disagree. We got literally nothing out of Day 1, no case on anyone including Ixtlilton. The only thing we have to work with is who voted for him, and that can't be interpreted without the flip. There's no sense I can see in scum bussing Ixt and giving us that information when they could say nothing and let it slide without appearing scummy in the slightest.

This I agree with, though. I mainly raised the possibility of a second scum team for the sake of completeness.

I feel like it would have been different if there had been another candidate at the time, but there was just a huge part of the game who wasn't voting at all. So it is easy to hide in that vast sea of apathy.

In other news, I think MMM is scum. MMM, capps and I are unconfirmed masons, well were in capps' case. So I think it is likely that MMM is scum based on that now that a town capps flipped.

The total of our mason conversation so far was MMM PMing me asking if we should talk at some point and me saying probably. So entirely worthless on all sides.

Day one is a bit of a null tell. There was the whole collapse and then everyone was just absent at deadline. Turbos happen day 1. Jokes happen day 1, especially on such a nonday as that. I feel like you're just getting way too much of a conclusion from a single post.

Grandi give me one good reason we should go gung-ho on MMM besides you being in a masonry with him. By your logic there is a chance that you are the scum so I guess we should vote you to test your logic?

By the way MMM, are you in a masonry with Grandi? I'm assuming you are since nobody else has really come out and countered that claim.

There is no story. We've had little contact, but in a 3 man unconfirmed masonry there is probably a non town entity.
If he isn't scum, I fully expect to be voted off next, while that would be a bad thing, because I am town, I don't disagree with the logic of it.

Do not like this either. If the person who killed Ix wanted to claim they would. They don't need you to prod them. Also why would you want someone to claim? So scum can go after them? Scum LIKE YOU?

Would probably also vote Grandi. He was trying to push people off Ix yesterday and all his huffiness about no one being around at deadline was a little much. Now he wants to lynch MMM on the basis of being in a masonry. He's better than that.

This post has merit, though I don't like the first part about it. I'm not drawing any conclusions based on day one. I definitely agree with the latter bit, it felt like rolefishing.

I'm not sure I follow. Voting along with an argument can help give said argument a sense of urgency. I've never heard of someone being called out for voting for someone they made a case on before.

In a vacuum, perhaps. Putting someone at what... -4 with less than 5 minutes to go smacks of just showing up to have a vote down on a scumbro in case he flips later.

Case in point... wins own recent NYC 1783 game when Pander correctly called me out for doing something very similar with my scumbro merk. Given wins complete lack of reads D1 (again, a time when he usually shines) and him waving it off with "all you guys are talking about comics" just leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

Still don't like this. Town vig doesn't have a whole lot to gain by claiming after N1. They are guaranteed town (or at least not-scum) so claiming is an instant target on their back. Maybe not a big deal if they were just 1-shot vig, but a multi-vig or JOAT or anything else might not want to be an obvious target for the scum going forward.

If there are really 2 scum teams (highly unlikely in a 15 person game, the only people I can see asking this are scum on a really small team) or a SK those things will be readily apparent soon if we keep having multiple kills.
