So, why would you vote for a vig?

If you were a vig you would have explained after that post, I think you're scum

Well thanks for clearing that up. So you think I'm scum that sticks my head out when someone soft claims tracking or watching. I dunno man, I think that's kind of insulting.

If I consistently see 2 kills each night (plus mine N1) my mind will go to scum + SK rather than scum + 3 nightvigs, and that's not including the two dayvigs.

That's not a strange or unusual train of thought.

two nights is pretty early to start driving that discussion when we have a confirmed scum's history to continue poring over, especially when we're averaging at least 1.5 vigs per cycle thus far

note it's of course in scum's interest to find the sk

We can argue semantics: It hurts town more because it brings LYLO faster. Nonscum killing roles are only better for town than scum if town can win with them.

i'm going to try putting his thought process into a single post

-softclaim tracker or watcher on the byers kill
-amoeba says "that person is scum"
-taste turns that into "amoeba knows byers was killed by scum, either because he's scum, or a vig" (though not sk?), but votes amoeba
-taste then poo-poos sk spec in favour of a 4th and 5th vig theory

Scum win conditions are always pretty generic "Outnumber the remaining players".

SO MUCH IS HAPPENING :supaburn: Thoughts as I have them

1) Byers's play makes more sense to me as survivor than SK. He was so loud and aggressive on merk he drew a ton of attention to himself. The fact he's dead shows how risky that was, I don't see him taking that risk if he had a NK

2) Good job with the vig Asiina

3) I'm not down with this push for FV, I think her reactions at deadline are townie without a useful PR.

4) Taste's gambit play is silly and I can see it being an attempt to distract us from looking at merk's post history too closely

5) There's no way merk doesn't know derp is uranus but I think it's too obvious. It's WIFOMy as hell but I think it's to draw attention away from someone else who was scummy at deadline. Furthermore, Exakt is a really solid and enthusiastic town player but from what I remember he doesn't like being scum so I could see him getting scum and giving up. Therefore ##vote zzyxx

Pm I am saying its a thread focus and people buying into it are acting anti town, someone already suspicious for other reasons and acting anti town is worth a vote

Rar I am literally calling multiple times for people to examine Merks post history

Your stated intentions do not line up with "fake soft claim as a gotcha". It works as a derail from the Derp/FV secret mason discussion but it doesn't go to discussing merk's port history.

In response to my shitiness D2:

Chic Trombone posted:

See the problem with that is that, while you will flip scum, I won't.

This aint great.. mate. Similarly Chic's response after merk getting shot; it feels creepy. Someone earlier said they were playing this game questioning why players would post something. Why would Chic post just to say "Thank you?" I'm reading it as them immediately trying to latch onto someone who has just committed a positive action.

Chic Trombone posted:


Thinking about it, merk DID seem pretty reluctant to vote f_v until late yesterday when it looked like f_v'd be the only viable lynch candidate that wasn't him

So what, you think merk was trying to last minute bus f_v?

I think merk thought he was going to get lynched earlier, basically as soon as he used the vig and decided to push Chic. The result of it was Chic coming out looking as if merk had just pushed her really hard for no reason. Other players have been criticising his play as lazy so that could have been intentional? I'm not sure on that part I don't think I've played many games with him so I'm not comfortable judging what is lazy for him

Merk's final "vote Chic after I flip!" does give me pause that it could possibly be a very, very aggressive bussing attempt, but I'd rather judge Chic on her own actions which I don't find particularly scummy.

Also considering how hard he was tunneling her, I'd think that Chic's "thank you" is justified.

Rarity's on the other hand strikes me as fishy.

I'm trying harder to care now that the game's a bit smaller. TT's entire posting rings scummy to me. He's trying to push something and no one's buying but he won't give up. it's very scum TT. I think Merk was being supersilly near his demise and saying dumb things on purpose. (like not knowing who uranus is). I think him not accepting the FV case and trying to shoo it away by sheer virtue of his mafia status or whatever (this case sucks but my case on Chic is better because I am Merk) does not look good for FV, nor does Uranus' ability. Would vote FV.

Also I was around to lynch Merk. I just forgot about the game and watched ADGQ instead. Sorry. I tried though!

I thought this too but it's not a train of thought worth pursuing. I think he was going after Chic a lot harder earlier than he was a shoo-in for lynching, so there'd be no reason to bus her that hard.

Agreed. I don't see it as a bus on CT. I also don't see CT's play as a bus on merk at all.
