Hello, everyone should be voting PM for claiming scum.

This is a lazy case that Max is pushing early. PMush made a dumb joke, but Max is seriously pushing for a lynch based on it. What's more, there's no way he really thinks that scum are more likely to scum claim than town in that position. This is a scummy early game case to hang your hat on.

Max posted:

I actually think that was a good catch.

Also, I'm at a conference today, so limited phone posting until evening. Forgive brevity for now.

Especially given his "yeah, it's a good catch, but I'm too busy" response to Opop being caught by my boy Diqnol. I peeked ahead, and I know how the Opop thing ends, but at this point Max doesn't. He's slow playing to see if he needs to bus, but he really wants to not.

Opop's slip-up seems really suspicious, but gut is telling me to hold off a little bit. I dunno.

Similar vein, this puts wall under early suspicion.

Max, after some thought, I get how it could work:

One of Opop/diqnol made KB + Ram lovers, I assume Diqnol. The other gave someone the ability to make two people lovers N2. You can reasonably assume it was Opop and that he sent it to a scum. I agree we both looked like possible lynches today, and that this would be a decent scum strat.

I'm sorry I got snippy at you, it looked really crazy to claim initially.

I think that's very sloppy stuff and nothing that a first time super nervous scum would do.

Is this the defense of wall that people keep going with later? Because it doesn't read as sloppy, it reads as tight to me. Switching to match a point raised in the thread with little resistance? wall's tight, but tight to maintaining a match with town opinion. That absolutely matches a new scum play style in my book.

If Hal/PMush were the same alignment I feel like bowmore would have replaced PMush with PMach for the sake of simplicity. One of them is scum :tinfoil:

I plan to re-read everyone at some point during the game day - right now off the top of my head I think it's Viva and a lurker.

You don't? Why?

EXAKT Science posted:

Yeah okay, that's a decent case. Mostly it seems off to me that Viva was casting shade on both Opop and WM when she could have probably gotten away with just casing Opop. That combined with the way Rarity was attacking WM, and Opop's vote on him after Rarity's prompting, are the things that give me pause. I definitely agree that Viva and Rarity are much better targets today.

Opop and WM aren't scumbros in your mind because of things other, unflipped players said about them?

King Burgundy posted:

Another interesting thing is that since everyone started this game Vanilla, scum night kills aren't based on hunting for power roles or anything. It will be based purely on taking people who are obstacles to their shaping of the narrative. Here on SA, people always ignore the NK motivation because of WIFOM, but that gives scum a free pass to kill whoever they want without having to think about it. Before he died Diqnol was suspecting Viva, Rarity and TheRam of being scum. Scum would want to keep him around if he was wrong, to help sell their cases, but would want him dead if he was right.

He recanted on TheRam in twilight, assuming the night kill order was put in after that, that leaves Viva and Rarity.

Diqnol was the single best player in the game N1, I could see scum killing him for that fact alone. It's a good point, but not a slam-dunk.

Fiery I (still) think is scummy. Most of his D2 reads as lukewarm. I may be biased because of D1 though.


DHD I'm not sure about, maybe town? The posts he's made seem sincere to me at least.


KB is being pretty reasonable here, and I still don't quite get the logic that's suddenly put me from 'backup lynch choice' to 'all but confirmed town' overnight. I appreciate not being thought of as scum but at the same time I kind of wonder if people are abandoning ship on me because they know it'll blow up in their faces when I flip town.

(My point here being that I think KB is town)

Generating noise. Random casing, seriously? wall's not trying to find scum, he's trying to maintain a level of content. Big difference.

I was assuming this would have come from Diqnol on his death. But I can't be sure of that, and I don't know if Opop would have been able to do something similar.

This was where the first masonry came from. My guess is that when KB died he passed it on?

Why would Diqnol, as town, make two players he didn't have at the top of his scum list lovers? If it came from anyone, it's Opop. Giving someone the power to make lovers after D1 would let that person, a scumbro, make lovers N2 and N3, and we're here now with a claimed set of lovers and a flip set.
