I don't think it's Opop because of the way Alasdair played RE: Opop

It would be weird if Alasdair decided to bus both his teammates on D1

LUTR: As I said before I think she was way too front and centre D1 to be scum. Scum may have been looking for an opening and struck but this doesn't feel made up to me, it feels like she legitimately misinterpreted things and came after me on actual content.

EP: Still my top pick. Has been opportunistic and barely putting in effort. He was scummy before and I could easily buy his current play as last scum standing kind of play.

Narco: Is honestly a bit of a blind spot for me and I need to fully reread her.

But right now I have a strong enough town read on LUTR I'd say I'm comfortable going EP->Narco->LUTR

I actually kind of like NGO for town other than a few posts which are more weird than scummy. Narco herself, on the other hand, just tunnelled on Somber over nothing and then made a "sure go ahead and kill me I guess" post. I still think EP is more overtly scummy though, I don't see any reason to change my original order

i liked ngo for town, and this might be getting too wifom-y but i find the timing they replaced at strange

we had just taken out one scum

a townie who wasn't participating a lot at the time would go 'heck yeah i'm not causing a lot of stress to my team and we're ahead'

scum would think the opposite

I think Opop is pretty town. He is driving discussion in a useful discussion and has nearly summarized the current game state. Given the current lever of certainty about remaining town I would think scum would want to argue more and cloud up the newer players and their judgement.

LUTR has been kinda defensive all game, failed to dunk on Hiipfire, said she would case Ernie and never got that out, doesn't ask me to explain my bizarroposting like MMM does, etc. etc. - she reads like someone trying to be engaged but lacking the ability to distance herself from her Scum Knowledge.

ANarc voted Hip and put him at -1, something I would think scum would want to avoid - scum bus their bros very early or go for the hammer, IMO. Then she posts this:

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

I am town this game. You can lynch me if you want, I think town is far enough ahead that a mislynch isn't a huge deal right now, but you should look elsewhere.

which just reads like a terrible rollover. It can also read like lost and confused town, though, and she's not wrong - we could hit her and still be very ahead.

I think I wanna ##vote Look Under The Rock with ANarc in a distant second. I'd really have to be convinced to vote Opop though.

Your first two points I've already been over, as to the last two, someone bumrushed a deadline while I was still onstage so I didn't have time to make the case on Ernie, and then it became pretty clear that he was cop cleared so making a case would be beyond pointless. I'm not sure why dropping that case is a point against me.

Also sorry I haven't questioned your bizarro posting, I've had other priorities this game and am unfamiliar with your meta, so if you're out of character (I'm assuming that's what bizarro means) I have no idea and you calling me out for it seems...not really fair.

You mention my Scum Knowledge and I'd like you to point me to a time besides hiipfire that you think I'm coming from that perspective.

I'm having a lot of trouble reconciling Somber's flip at the moment. I spent the last couple game days convinced that Opop was the cop, Ernie was the last scum, and that everything was pretty well wrapped up because momentum was at least beginning to build, and now everything is weird and I've lost the plot.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:

The scum didn't buy my implied cop claim. Why was this?

If EP was scum he would have known that I wasn't a cop since my investigation would have been wrong.

Alternately somebody else could have been scum and just figured out that I wasn't the cop

The logic in this post seems fishy to me.

And the rest of his posts including these two seems real scummy to me.

Just so we're all on the same page here is why everyone who is confirmed is

GG- Publically used a vig, which is a town role. He is 100%, indisputibly, mod confirmed town

Cop Clears

Ernie- Somber was very much on Ernie D1 and then just cools right off D2. Ernie is the most likely choice for somber to have copped N1

Somberbrero posted:

I thought about Ernie while we were on hiatus and I'm dropping that. His behavior was definitely anti-town at points, but Ernie is like that sometimes. I've been in several games where he combusted much worse than that as town. Also, he was the first one to speak to Allister's flip clearing me.

Somberbrero posted:

Ernie is definitely a huge weirdo but he isn't scum, I don't think.

Somberbrero posted:

I can't deny Ernie is a huge weirdo, but I've always seen his most unhelpful and self-destructive behavior in games where he is town.

Then here is where he pretty much claims it

Somberbrero posted:

I'm not going to vote Ernie, I'm probably only going to vote you or Jawdins. You can use that information however you like.

For MMM he's a bit more direct

Somberbrero posted:

I too would have investigated mmm.

Somberbrero posted:

I'm not going to vote MMM.


So there's really not a lot of room for interpretation there.

Opop: Doesn't feel like he's playing us or getting us to go after one another which I've seen solo scum Opop do lots

LUTR: Feigning being lost might be a scum survival strategy and I don't think anything she says will change my mind on that (she seemed capable of changing her mind/style just fine until now)

EP: The only person I think who knew MMM wasn't the cop, if he's scum

Narc: Hmm she seems to be playing a pretty town game, although she's not exactly invested in solving it?

Either way, we need to start moving forward not sideways

I like Epsilon for scum today. I don't buy the idea that the logic around the Somber/MMM claim bit was too dumb for scum. That interaction hit me the wrong way. Still working on a vacuum re-read but I'd be happiest to vote Epsilon today.
