Yeah, I picked up on that. It just seemed kinda scummy that you posted to vote ecco immediately before he was nightkilled (as it screams "well I MUST be town considering I did not know eccoraven would die!"). BUT I don't know what a vampire bard is and I am foggy on prior discourse between your self and ecco and in general so I'm reading it over at the moment.

I had a massive post explaining why Ecco had to be scum ready for the second the thread opened up, if I'd been around I would have done the same thing.

I agree with Ecco. At first I though, too dumb to be scum, then I remembered that's not a thing. Feels like it came from a place of forced confusion.

I also think Ecco and Chili are both fairly town (Hi Chili!)

He also agreed with everything EccoRaven said, and immediately jumped to vote on anybody who threatened Ecco.

Meinberg posted:

We're probably looking at vampires vs. those guys who hunt vampires as the scum teams. Alternatively werewolves.

While both vampires and werewolves act independently in the base-game, the Dawnguard DLC introduces a faction of vampire hunters called the Dawnguard, and their antagonist faction: the vampires of Castle Volkihar. Additionally, many of the Companions - a band of hearty fighters and mead-drinkers - are also werewolves.

Good Sir posted:

A bard is a member of the Bard's College, a school for bards and minstrels to hone their craft. A vampire is a person infected with Sanguinare Vampiris, a disease made by the daedric prince Molag Bal, whose realm is domination and subjugation of mortals.


Whether any of this is relevant to this game is an exercise for the reader.

You are incorrect, but I can see why someone would believe this at this point.

Rarity posted:

Pope, what do you think of Sandwolf in light of Ecco's flip?

Moderately suspicious :shrug: He was wrong about Ecco and wrong about Byers, but so was I, and I maintain that those were decent assumptions based on what we were working with. His posts are generally sensible, but he's not a high content poster, and seems to mostly appear when he has a chance jump on safe and popular cases. Glancing through his post history the only thing that rubs me the wrong way is this post:

Sandwolf posted:

If Byers flips scum I'm gonna take a good hard look at Chic.

Even though I still think Byers's case and behavior was scummy as hell, I don't think Chic's concurring vote is much of a red flag. At the time of this post Byers's case was dead in the water and there was mounting pressure on Byers. If we were to assume that Byers and Chic were scumbuddies, as Sandwolf is insinuating, Chic adding his vote to Byers's single vote on Ecco would have been terrible play--they'd have to have known that Chic would be tying himself to a sinking ship and that their two combined votes would not have added up to enough momentum to get Ecco lynched. Ergo, I don't think there's much reason at the time to have assumed Chic was Byers's scumbuddy... but it's a plausible sounding case for a scum player to set up to establish a chain lynch, if they'd thought they'd found the other scumteam.

Why do you say that bit about it being the other scumteam and not mention the just as likely scenario of scum setting up a chain lynch towards a town player? I see your point but that's a really strange thing to specify.

That was referring to Byers, not Chic. Setting up a chain on Chic would be beneficial regardless of his alignment but it would rely on Byers being scum, if Byers flipped town there's no chaining that to his "scumbuddies"

I'm much less certain about this than I was yesterday, but it's a good starting point for today.

I'll answer this for real now. First of all, I am definitely a newbie as this is my first game aside of Drawf3ia which died in day 2. However, I'm a quick learner and I read people really well.

Secondly, I'm not sure how voting Sandwolf is a "poorly supported chain lynch" when he made all of these posts.

In reference to Squid voting for Ecco:

Sandwolf posted:

This is a bad vote.

In response to Cpig telling him to vote Ecco:

Sandwolf posted:

I don't think Ecco's scum, I literally don't see a single argument for it.

Arguing to eliminate someone basically confirmed Town (which proved to be true)

Sandwolf posted:

I didn't mean this, I just meant you can't trust the scum team to do a pro-townie thing for us. Hanging dudes is the only weapon we have, unless someone of unimportant alignment wants to SHOOT BYERS.

I thought Sandwolf was a scumbuddy of Ecco since yesterday so this definitely isn't just me jumping on a bandwagon.

You can vote for me if you want, Gabe, but there's absolutely no reason to do so. And you'll be 0 for 3 when I flip town.

That's... oddly specific, but whatev.

Byers's flip took a good bit out of my suspicion, which is why I said I'm not as confident about this vote today as I was yesterday. But no, Byers flipping town does not clear you, since scum players are perfectly capable of trying to cozy up to town players. I thought you were a bit scummy before I spotted the possible connection to Byers and your flip-flopping on Byers is suspicious regardless of Byers's alignment. I'm not saying we should drop everything and lynch you, but since my best lead turned out to be a dead end you're the best case I have at the moment. When I get a chance I'll be looking at some of the other lurking/semi-lurking players to see if anything stands out to me more.

Sandwolf spends all of Day 2 in perfect agreement with Ecco, not arguing anything other than WE NEED TO HAMMER BYERS NOW! HE'S SCUM KILL HIM KILL HIM except for a couple of snipes at AnonymousNarcotics when he says "You and Ecco are scum." AN-NARC IS CLEARLY SCUM WE NEED TO TURBO HIM AFTER WE TURBO BYERS WHO IS 100% SCUM NO OTHER POSSIBILITY KILL HIM KILL HIM NOW, THERE IS ZERO CHANCE THAT SCUM WOULD TARGET THE CLAIMED TOWN DOCTOR WE HAVE TO KILL HIM IMMEDIATELY. He kept vocally agreeing with Ecco even though Ecco's only real argument was "I'm going to be incredibly obnoxious until Byers dies."

The fact that you're still only "moderately suspicious" of him is shady as hell.
