I'm assuming the nightkills are item fuckery. Maybe the last use of the candles caused them to kill each other or something. If there's still a scum and sk, I was only half joking about the self lynch and hope they kill each other thing
All claims are out as vanilla at this point.

I don't know. All I have really going for me is that I pegged Chic early and my casing, at least outside of the TNL fiasco. If you look further back than that, when Somber decided to randomly pressure me for my Chic read, saying I had been erratic near hammer but seemingly missed the entire early day. Diqnol brought up a defense of me that I hadn't even realized had happened:

I dunno, I could vote Rascyc tomorrow. His play has seemed reserved and conservative this game. His back and forth near deadline with Chic reads like distancing. There's something off about the way he pushes her, it feels like he's being too familiar and conversational with her.

It's a similar read that I'm using to make for yuming, except she held to her guns and proposed Asiina that whole time while Chic was getting voted. Beyond that all I 'have' really is my analysis of everything, sometimes wrong (TNL, Opop's lavender thing, Somber prior to claiming, and I guess Wins as of late), sometimes right (Chic, Merk, TT, etc).

I could honestly concoct theories why it's anyone at this point, especially if it's really a 2 vs 2 scenario. If we look for an SK, it could very well be yuming for laying a bit low but also scum hunting, it would fit an SK modus operandi. It could be fits for also laying low and not doing much the second half of the game with most of the scum team dead.. It could be you for giving neutral reads most of the game and laying low.

However if we look for a scum, then I subtract yuming for the Asiina/Chic interaction. It still leaves you + fits for laying low this entire time, especially after we clobbered 3 scum on d2/d3/d4.

The wrinkle in that one is that you seem to believe it's 1 scum left and nothing else, so I think you would normally push for a no lynch in that circumstance because then we're in 4 player mylo. If you are convinced it's not yuming and have a toss up between me/fits, then it should be an easy no lynch vote from your perspective I think. From mine, I am not convinced it's a 1v3 scenario. I need to think more about the numbers though and how a scum might approach this.

If I go purely off tone then I am left with fits.

It's a mess, I want to think about it some more. I don't want to become the new GODDAMNIT RASCYC also :(

I largely wanted to provoke a response, but his actions around the night kills today and some of his speculation seems strange and off, so I thought I'd press him and see what his reaction was. I was hoping for a slip.

I'm still up in the air.

At the moment, GUN TO MY HEAD, I'd try to distract and then wrestle the gun out of the hands of my attackers, but for my next option I think I'd still go Rascyc. Merk was on and off him yesterday, and was between, largely, fits, Rascyc, and myself (He was super duper on top of me until the very end of the day).

I'm starting by reading back on f_v and merk the previous game day. In one of fiery's posts, she quoted this--

Rascyc posted:

I can't even begin to parse this post. What does this even mean?

- Chic is actively commenting or asking the weirdest things: "If you think he's scum that's fine"
- Effectively skips day 1 but seems to have a magical unexplained read on Kaschei/Amni was scummy
- Overly cautious posting

##vote Chic
I have a problem with this vote because the second point against Chic speaks from a perspective of someone who knows kaschei is scum well before kaschei-Amoeba flipped.

Having a "magical unexplained" read isn't inherently scummy. But it becomes so when you're accusing someone of ~knowing too much~

I've very unsure at this point, but mostly between Keane and Rascyc. I'm looking for evidence and find this point interesting.

If you go back and look at Amoeba's post history, he actually sat there and tunneled TT for something like two game days.
Here it is again-- Rasc appears to be using Amoeba tunneling as evidence to vote TT.

This speaks from the perspective of a player who knows bussing is part of the scum team's ~gameplan~

This was two hours ago.
merk also died suspicious of Keane.

I can't claim I know what happened with the kill last night. But my working theory is that scum have killing items, and saved a juicy one for lategame.

If scum made the previous kill, it makes sense Keane did it.

Pretty much all I can say on merk is that we spoke quite a bit and he spent the last couple of hours of the last day talking to me before deciding that I wasn't scum.

I know that's not much to give in terms of defense, but I don't think merk's read on me would end up worse because we were able to have a one on one chat.

Yea, that makes a difference.

What are your thoughts on last nights kill?

If we're looking at a SK here I feel like it is a shot in the dark. I'd be fine losing to a SK here.

But I don't feel this scum team deserves a win and want to do my best to find them if they're still around.

I really doubt there is an SK. We simply haven't had enough kills throughout the game for that to make sense.

F_V and merk both had powers, F_V as a thief and merk claimed he had some tracking powers, although toward the end that was failing more and more. Especially since Opop and his cop ate it earlier, it could be more of a culling of PRs then opinion based.

Although on that note, F_V and merk were both pretty drat townie, so there's that too. They'd make sense for any of us to kill, for the most part.

I know you can make a similar case like this with yuming and fits, but I think Keane is actively content lurking with his reads and not contributing as opposed to someone like yuming's lurking. Fits is up there too but he still hasn't answered my question on how he reached his conclusions about Opop/etc from yesterday's game day and I want to hear about that.

What are you thinking with fits exactly? You mentioned it was a pit stop before but didn't elaborate.
I don't care for the perspective here either.

Scum were bussing TT-- well-- Amoeba was. But I wouldn't say anyone else was tilting that way. I had forgotten he was still alive :sparkles:

I think Rasc's awareness here is scummy somehow. Again he speaks from a perspective of what the scum are doing.

Chic had skipped the entirety of d1 iirc and came into d2 with an unexplained read out of no where, on a person that had equally skipped the majority of d1 but had some amount of pressure from Diqnol. It was worth placing a spotlight on Chic at the time, yeah.

By itself I might not call it scummy but if you look at the context during that post Chic was dancing around not posting any committed reads on people who had content. To cautious read those people but have a read on someone who skipped d1 didn't line up.

It was a factual statement, read through Amoeba's post history. I remember we even called it out because the day we wanted to lynch TNL initially, Amoeba was part of the deadlock by raising a ruckus over TT without a case, whereas f_v was casing Meinberg and pushed a case.

I don't know what part of a scum team decides their gameplan is to bus the entire scum team from start to finish, especially with replacements. It wasn't even a singular bus IIRC, weren't they bussing each other? I honestly lost track at this point. I do remember Amoeba straight up absconded, so I don't think bussing was really part of their "gameplan" but that's a speculative guess. TT openly started trolling towards the end so .... yeah. I don't know.

How did I hope it didn't go through? I had a history of saying TT was scum since his PR claim. There's even a post where I straight up say I think both TNL and TT are scum, using independent cases. TT's initial claim was incredible, a conclusion that only one person apparently shared at the time.

merk posted:

Can we all step back and see how ridiculous or scummy Tt's plan of taking all the items is when he can only identify one item per night?

I'll go back and re-read what exactly I posted when TT was getting lynched but I was in full support of that one for like 3 game days. It was very difficult to get much of anything done with Merk starting every day off with a gambit.

Yeah I had that one night, I never used it again once I got the flavor I did. I am not even sure if it is PGO to be quite honest based on the flavor.
