How does basing what happened down to the deadline make Exakt scum? His claim was among the primary reasons we lynched such a powerful role in MMM.

Basically, that was really dumb of Exakt if he's scum.

Man. At this point I can only assume you are coming at this from a scum perspective because you seem to be attributing really really stupid actions to me.

There is no way in a million years I would have hammered my PGO scum buddy at literally the last second in a game where everyone moves around. That would be the most insane possibly action a scum could take. There would have been NO fallout on me for not hammering if we won due to town die off. Just think about how many people would have been looking at MMM if he was still alive. There would have been so many dead town.

Honestly, I'm hard-pressed to think of anyone that would do this, it would be so dumb. For similar reasons I think the other voters are more or less clear. Like I get bussing, but there is no way a scum team would allow any hard bussing of their PGO in a game like this. It was their victory condition. No way would they throw it away.

##vote Foo

I also think it is extremely likely that PinMom is scum at this point. It's meta, but I've seen him withdraw in a similar way when he thinks he can't win as scum and that the game is unbalanced.

i find KB's post here convincing, although I think a lot of people WOULD just hammer him as their scumbuddy to avoid suspicion. theres also the possibility that jakep never showed up in the scumdoc to tell people his role and none of them knew about it. but probably not.

train of thought: I felt bad about apostate. the only think that makes me hesitate is that I tracked+rolecopped her and got nothing weird, but

the hardcore pursuit of goo d1 is kind of weird, and then immediately abandoned in favor of exakt for some reason. but she does track/rolecop omegagoo, which is consistent.

I dislike your super goddamned condescending attitude. Also stop coaching me, and stop with the direct insults. You did not address the fact that I did in fact have more content than that, and that you are misrepresenting facts. Then you go straight to insults. "you look scummy but nah no scum would be that stupid" Wow.

You said he looked scummy. You didn't vote. That set off alarm bells- then you start digging into me for it, and that sets off more bells. Now you go for personal insults to try to drag me away from my d1 gut read (with scummy content to bolster it!), which just makes me think I'm even more right.

But okay, fine. You win. ##vote Roydrowsy


is too impassioned, considering the catalyst for it, imo, and then this vote is called a mistake and abandoned within 30 minutes. but she mentioned meds and i know how THAT goes, and I flew off the handle earlier too... so right now I am null on apostate. i know thats a lot of words for 'null read' but I started this post with the intention of saying she was scum, before rereading her post history many times. <_>;


their post history makes it really obvious, so I don't feel like typing out a screed, but I do feel like one of zetsu/pmom is scum, but probably not together at this point. I would vote zetsu first today.

Alright, going to update my list because I'm having a hard time keeping track of this stuff:

Night Actions:

Omega visited Zet and confirmed he is vanilla(only rolecop/tracker).
Omega visited Exakt and he didn't go anywhere.
AC visited Omega and confirms vanilla .
AC visited Omega and confirms his above visits.
Roy visited KB and saw KB visit Roy and Zet (He didn't realize he could use his other action too).
KB visited Zet and saw him visit GG and KB.
KB visited Roy and confirmed he is vanilla.
GG visited Zet and saw him visit GG and KB.
GG visited Roy and saw him visited by KB and Carpet.
Zet visited KB and confirms he is vanilla.
Zet visited GG and confirms his visits.
Exakt got Roleblocked so didn't get to take his actions.
Gulag Roleblocked Exakt.
Gulag visited AC and confirms AC's visit of only Omega.
Gulag visited AC and confirms she is vanilla.
Captain Foo says he couldn't submit any actions.
PinMom visited Gulag and I'm assuming he is confirming Gulag's targets, but he didn't say.
PinMom visited AC and confirms she is vanilla.

I think we've still got no report from Carpet unless I've missed it somehow?

Gulag - Roleblocker

MMM - PGO

Probably 3 scum in a 13 player game, right? So 2 left. I'm going to continue to assume, for now, that the scum kill last night was performed by someone we didn't track last night.

People not tracked last night:
Foo
PinMom
Roy
Carpet

I think there would have to be at least one of the scum in this list. And the other could ALSO be in this list, but might be among the others. I'm eliminating Roy from the potential killer list because I can't see him as scum given when he voted the PGO/etc. I'm really only comfortable voting for one of the other three today, and I'm still debating who my Most Wanted is. Right now I'm leaning Pin.

##vote Pinterest Mom

I feel like he came back only because of my meta read of him(he'd previously been posting other places but not here) and since coming back he hasn't really commented on the meat of the game at all, just went for a couple easy jabs and disappeared.

Cruel Bifaunidas demanded that you [stand]🧍 I require only that you [kneel]🧎
Since I tracked GG I know that he should have got a result on Foo, but GG revealed he got Gulag instead (due to mod error).

Another thought, since KB just noted a possibility of a godfather, and we do have a miller. we might also have a cop, which due to setup is no indicator of townness/scumness.

yet another:

quote:

Do not put too much stock in your Rolecop or Tracker results as they apply to standard mafia logic.

We've been assuming that our rolecop results might be unreliable in working out who is town (i.e PGO is usually given to town), but the tracking results accurate?

I just checked and the following people were not tracked - Roy, Foo, PMom, CShark, Met

Gulag was tracked but PMom hasn't said anything about the results.

Exakt was tracked but returned a "went nowhere" due to roleblocking

I am the Burgundy King,

Also I fully reread MMM and the interactions leading up to his cuddle and I'm actually going to have a hard time seeing pretty much anyone who voted for him as scum in this game. Again, I know bussing is a thing, I myself do it as scum, but I feel like this role in this game is just too special for that. And there were so many places to avoid MMM as the target.

So MMM voters, in order:
JakeP/Met - dead
Exakt - Starts the charge, there was no momentum on MMM.
Roy - Continues the charge doing his own thing.
GG - Votes MM to avoid a nocuddle, 18 min before deadline. There were other ways to play this if he was scum to avoid getting his PGO buddy killed.
Omega - Votes MM, same deal.

Then MMM says he's a bodyguard and GG says:

Ghastly Gangsta posted:

This is a bogus claim I bet.

Again, why would he do this at this point rather than using it as an excuse to avoid voting for him like he did the claimed doctor. This makes GG look really good in my mind.
AC responds to GG's post with her own vote on MM. I guess this one could be for cred since we are at -2 before her vote, but again, there are other choices to make here and MMM going home is not a sure thing.

MMM even feeds a possible countercurrent with:

MMM Whatchya Say posted:

This isn't the sort of game people can lie about claims and not get called on it

Which is a brilliant trap if he can survive the day. Surely his scum buddies would back him up on this and try to switch things up.
AC does respond to it and GG makes noises about switching as well. They both swap to Zet. At this point Zet gets up to 4 votes and we have 5 minutes left to deadline. There is no reason they couldn't keep fighting to make Zet happen or say "oops, ran out of time" or whatever and allowed for the no cuddle so that MMM could brutalize people, but they switch back almost immediately to MMM.

Honestly in this whole interaction the only people that look bad are Me, for fighting against MMM cuddle the whole way through and all of the folks who vanished for the end: PinMom was around pre deadline and vanished. Carpet was on earlier in the day and said she'd be back but wasn't. Foo bailed out before the MMM thing was a thing, so he at least wasn't ducking out on the possible MMM vote specifically at that point. And Zet and Gulag.

Anyway, we finally hit buzzer, there is less than a minute to deadline and I hammer. This is the thing that clears me from otherwise looking bad, because it was unnecessary, no one else was going to hammer and if I had held back the scum team was pretty much assured multiple town deaths. And they would be completely unexplained town deaths too, so I could even have sacrificed myself the following day to let MMM kill more people if we didn't kill enough to win the first night.

----

Anyway, we've been over some of that before, but I just wanted to get all these thoughts out there. I think I'm going to have a hard time voting for any of the remaining people who voted for MMM for the rest of the game. So that means my potential scum list is only the following: Pin, Foo, Carpet, Gulag, Zet. That's it. The scum are in that group for sure.
