For the record Beet, do you in fact still think TOML is town, and why?

Milky Moor posted:

I don't think TOML would blow his cover like this protecting a vanilla scum who doesn't really contribute anything. If you're town then I'm going to be pretty suspicious of TOML.

If BBQ is vanilla scum, why not blow him up when you die? Scum is scum.

Now see that is a decent argument. I feel conflicted about it though, since you guys could just lynch him tomorrow anyway. Revealing what is actually up with TOML could shed a lot more light on tomorrow.

So, Bif, if you're town and you think TOML is scum, why shouldn't we force a draw to kill TOML (the possible scum), you (to activate your power), and use that power to kill DJ?

More importantly, do you think there is a risk of the scum forcing a draw to kill two town players if this is a worst case scenario?

well there goes my plan b, which was if both lived on a tie we could push for us to vote a tie so that neither died if we thought that was the best way to save toml and then bif can't use her totally town lynch bomb.

If you guys actualy like the plan, how's this sound for an easy way to enforce the tie? Everyone unvotes except me and TOML leaving our votes on each other. Then anyone who jumps back in will be clearly tampering.

It's a horrible goddamn plan because it might cause us to lose three town players. You might be town, TOML might be town, and whoever you pick for your bomb might also be town.

This thread just keeps delivering.

So what happens if everyone unvotes? Is it a no lynch day?

Are these powers usually given to town? Because while Bif was acting suss like she was in other games where she was scum - it is actually similar to the way she posted in the mini game where she wasn't scum. She actually ran up against TOML who was in that game.

I am not sure that either of then are scum and I don't fancy losing two town.

dj-bbq you were going to offer your night actions. If its an investigative role and you have info that helps the town - then feel free to share it as it will only be believed after your death. If you dont have info that helps town - you should be quiet

If we succeed in a tie, in which both TOML and I die, I would like to use the lynchbomb on BBQ unless anyone has a convincing enough objection. If we get the tie plan successfully set up, I will announce that as my move to Gaspy, on the condition that it does indeed remain in a tie.

You keep asking me to put things on the record. Is this a court of law? Are you going to try trip me up later? Are you going to try say 'OMG he's doing that siding with town thing he says is scummy'

I am confident he is one of the least likely candidates to be scum. If you want to translate that as him being town, sure do it. I'm never 100% sure on people until i've seen them flip or found out through other means.

BBQ I am unsure of, but he would be a lot lower on my scum list than you. Would I call him town? No. Would I call him scum? Not really yet. Hidden is at this same level except he's not posted AT ALL TODAY. NOT ONCE. YOU KEEP IGNORING THIS WHEN I POINT IT OUT.
We're 26 minutes out from hammer and when I pointed out earlier today that hidden hasn't posted the first thing you do is say i'm defending BBQ? ffs bif, take your blinkers off.


TOML isn't holding a smoking gun, as in he hasn't done anything really dumb or tripped up, where i've pointed out a few times where I think you have done so. TOML hasn't been as active as in past games, but i've been so smashed with work lately, as you were d1, so i can excuse that behaviour somewhat because we all have lives(tm). No he hasn't scum hunted that greatly but when pushed he came out with a huge effort post which is really exposing yourself if you're scum. it's laughable to even suggest that's scummy.


Like Milky's been laying low and would be higher on my scumdar by now, up there with you actually, except i have reasons for his behaviour and that was all spoken about earlier today. Milky i'm fairly sure isn't scum. On this line of thinking, neither is tirade. The interaction they had can only be answered satisfactorily one way and that somewhat clears tirade a bit too.

It could very well lose the town the game if all three of them are town. Hell, if two of them are town it's going to be nasty.

Remember, scum know who the scum are. Bif could be all for the idea because she knows that DJ is town.

Bif by acting weird and scummy, TOML by locking us in. Neither are entirely blameless. But the real issue hinges on Bif's claim as a lynch bomb which, while usually town-aligned, isn't necessarily always town-aligned. And the claim is, of course, not even necessarily true.

Then you'll be knocking out one of the only chances for the town to recover. My first pick was blocked. That's all the information anyone is getting until this is resolved.

If Bif is scum then its unlikely that she is a lynchbomb. It still means there is a chance that we lose 3 towns though :/

That would still be a town kill. Bif, if you're not scum, use your head. You sound like you're being more vindictive than anything. Why would you risk three town? Even two town?

no, i'm pretty sure hidden movement isn't the vigilante

he could be anything else though, scum aligner serial killer. actually, a watcher or tracker is a role that might not seem that useful to a newbie? i remember first time I was one I was like " what do i do now?"

I could draw up a bit of model but there's no way I'd have it done in ten minutes and there's a lot of variables in play. Chief among them is whether Bifauxnen is being honest or not.
