But, actually, I just read it now like you, in order to find out if the town PM could hint at it (whether it says when scum have been eliminated or all threats), to see if whatever's being said about Chic has merit.

The role PMs look like they've been directly copy/pasted from the MafiaScum wiki, so I'm not sure I'd be comfortable reading quite so much into them.

"Slips" like that tell us nothing. It's much more likely that it's a town player making poor assumptions rather than a scum loving up. I'm much more careful as a scum when it comes to blurting out things that might give everything away.

Chic Trombone posted:I kind of feel like Epsilon's the serial killer, from him assuming two scum From a completely different perspective, this justification is strange. Chic doesn't need to say anything here because it was 5 minutes until the lynch hit and EP was at -2. I see Chic trying to soften the blowback from a town flip.

Somberbrero posted:I didn't see you sayin' poo poo when people were playing 'gotcha' with Epsilon yesterday. I did. And I also think the one with Chic is silly. How many times do we have to make the exact same mistake? EXAKT Science posted:Also I don't think this is entirely true. If there's 1 VT, 1 Vig, and 1 Scum going into a night, then the scum kills somebody while the vig kills the scum, town wins with one player alive. I agree completely and I personally don't care much for the SK theory. I'm exclusively scumhunting for now. SK hunting can come later if necessary. I think our last scum(s) have to be between Amoeba, Antiperpendicular, Hal and Rascyc. If everyone could give me a single bullet point of thoughts on each of these players it would be awesome. I'll even star. Amoeba: I don't know why YPM and Epsilon seem to be the only people who agree with me, but my casing has been very clear and very consistently good against him. He wants to play with Hal but doesn't push Hal to move his vote, even while he's complaining about people leaving their votes in ineffectual places. He doesn't want to vote lurkers on D1, but totally thinks that 'contributing' by talking about lurkers D2 is a thing. He thinks one person is scum for slipping about 'knowing' that another player is town, but also thinks the second player is scum. Anticurricular: Obviously had the overwrought post from yesterday, but I feel like fv is the kind of person who is a very coaching kind of person and if she were helping her on her scum game it would be less likely that Antiappendicular would have made that particular post. I'm getting a more 'riffing off Proctor Cat's posts' vibe here, but I could be wrong. Hal: Honestly, and I didn't voice this yesterday, I thought to myself that it's likely fv and Hal are scum together because their play was very decisive and seemingly helpful but peripheral and blending-in. I just had this odd thought that their play was complementing each other well. Rascyc: I'm used to a much more aggressive Rascyc. That is all.

Side note - both songs you posted are from the 90s, well after Waits dropped out of this scene, switched labels and got weird. This, his first single, is the sort of thing that got him signed in the first place.

I think Amoeba is town because I don't see someone making this post after I straight up found the first scum based on a single post of f_v's:Amoeba102 posted:That post by F_v definitely stands out in their post history because I have no idea what they are talking about - not necessarily scummy. But the rest is mild, not anything to think they are scum over. They took Epsilon's joke at face value but I don't really see how that can give an alignment call. I guess I'd really like to see more from fiery. This was post was straight in response to me.

If everyone could give me a single bullet point of thoughts on each of these players it would be awesome. I'll even start. The last two names here feel out of place but sure. Amoeba seems to be soft-claiming the vigilante kill, so that seems like a waste of effort barring further information. What do I actually need to say about Antiarrhythmia? I think the notion that her play is too scum to be scum is silly. I don't know why you would assume that FV would be coaching her when FV had a drastically reduced game presence on day one. As an aside, Antihistamine made scummy posts besides her most notable one, I just didn't bring attention to them yesterday because of the new player clause. Hal has been picking up on the same trends that I am today. I am town, so I would presume that he is town as well. His effort seems genuine. Antiretroviral pushed Rascyc and she's someone I would call scum without hesitation, so that's good enough for me. ##vote AntiVehicular If I'm wrong, I would vote for ChicTrombone. There are plenty of her posts that struck me as suspicious besides her vote on Epsilon, and I've already pointed out some of the other problems with that post.

Also his petulant post-hammer rant was pretty scummy. If he was invested enough in the game to rant, he should have tried to be more persuasive towards the later half of the day. His case sat since early d1 and I've seen him do this trick as scum before and it's not a bad one in all honesty.

I've disagreed with some of his casing but I saw that more as content-driving than dishonest effort. Regardless I don't think we should end today without voting Antithesis. Hey, would it be smart to claim here? I think I need to read how this setup actually works. Presuming we have a cop + cop result + doc + a vig, that could go a long way towards solving the game.

Bleah, at this point I'm leaning towards allowing myself to be lynched -- I'm just VT, and it looks like in this setup there's a good chance of a good number of power roles, so I'm pretty sacrificial, and I can't meaningfully say I didn't play like poo poo yesterday. I tend to take being pressured poorly and don't tend to be a productive scumhunter under those circumstances, and I've also been sick and not been in decent concentration mode all game. (Feel free at this juncture to make jokes about how I should have been taking antihistamines, antibiotics, antivirals, antibodies, whatever. I definitely had antigens.)

The question isn't the quality of your argument so much as the manner in which it was presented. Ernie. posted:is it an open night? Your outrage feels forced. I understand that you were busy, but it's hardly fair to hold people accountable for not backing your case when you weren't around. The tone is a little over the top and unnecessary. I don't often see town get that tore-up about a mislynch.

The guy complaining that the person he wanted cuddled all day got his way is scum, but the person who was complaining about what people should do D2 while he was actively cuddling the person he thought was scum isn't? You don't think it's telling that Amoeba was acting disappointed BEFORE the flip? What alien world am I in.

Rascyc posted:ya but there's hedging and then there's trying to 'decipher' NK choices. nobody kills capps because they are afraid of him (the dude is completely random when he's not that interested), and even if it was anyone else, concluding that someone died to prevent a push the very next day is an empty read. NK choices rarely lead to reliable reads. They're not flips at all. All of this is 100% wrong in my opinion.
