This is what we should have done yesterday. Ecco played every card available in the scum survival book and convinced you to lynch two lurkers so we get zero information. Great job.

I also am not entirely sure I believe that Asiina is a Cop, leaning towards not believing her. Diqnol is too convenient of a claim. He was acting weird though, so...

Is there even a night? Did Diqnol die in battle or die at night?

So the person the cop investigates dies, yeah that happens sometimes.

But the cop doesn't investigate the biggest target (and biggest talking point) from day 1.

* Who obviously wasn't going to be night killed if town because scum could assume they're a safe bet to lynch tomorrow,
*definitely wouldn't be night killed if scum.

therefore a pretty good target for investigation to save town from wasting another day of 80% ecco chat or to catch a scum.

So now we can't remove ecco as a talking point today and we will probably waste more time on it.

Oh and you needed to take up the heal.


Pretty good play imo

Yeah, this is what I was thinking too.

We need to remove Ecco as a talking point by lynching him... because he's scum.

Yes, think of it as 3 locations for actions. Greek camp, battle, Trojan camp.

Whichever one you are at for the night is what you can use abilities in.

I was pretty lenient with illegal actions because it was night 1 and gave people a chance to resubmit but I won't be doing that moving on.

(Any) abilities need targets and aren't passives.

Anyway, I think 100yrs is their cop because his passive sounds like my passive and what he is describing is my connection to Madman, if I'm reading Madman's breadcrumb right.

I would think that if you've got a connection to me then you might have gotten the McDreamy/McSteamy thing. Although I guess there could be other connections to me.

I strongly believe we won the battle because of me, so you should put me in again. I misunderstood (barely read) how battle works and can go in either line.

I really strongly disagree with this. We need to get more opinions on other players as well, because I think we had you, Ecco, and Diqnol all throwing a lot of weight around and I'd like to see other players get mentioned so we can't have scum just lurk a bunch.

Ok, well, I'm voting Ecco all day. I can't fathom how we lynched two lurkers on day 1 at Ecco's lead and the response is "let's table Ecco/merk until day 3!!!"

Do you honestly believe a scum player voting town Ecco yesterday would switch off to a town lurker in the 11th hour to let Ecco live another day? That's not the narrative for how the day happened. Ecco got out of being lynched because Ecco is scum and his leadership of the thread through the help of the scum team moved the lynch onto two lurkers. This is the most obvious d2 lynch of all time.

I may as well be clear because there's alignment conclusions that can be made behind what I did in battle and the fact that we won: I made our ranged line a lot stronger.

You think Ecco is scum, we get it. Do you have any other opinions? Cause your aggression here is making me question if you're using this push to smokescreen town from looking at anyone else.

There is someone out there I'm connected to though, but I don't know who the player is.

Honestly, the connection doesn't make a huge amount of difference unless we go into battle together, but since I'm the cop and I can't battle and use my cop at the same time I should never go into battle anyway, so really it doesn't matter.

It's just likely that the person I am connected to is town, whoever they are.

Since we are talking about names, think about the all the names involved and see if one makes sense to you. It's not super obvious, but I think if you're the person that was named in my PM you'd probably pick up on it.

I found the problem in your reasoning. I like my case on you but I don't think it's slam dunk - that's a merk thing.

Hey merk do us all a favor and say what the case against me is. Assume nobody wants to skim through a million pages to find it.

And then when you do that listen to Keane's directives and move on to someone else, knowing that I'm still here regardless :guitar:

Like here is the thing: We vote ecco off fast, boom, that's it, and the other thread has more time to post and argue and force connections.

To be clear, even if ecco is scum, and definitely scum, we should also be sure to look elsewhere as well. This isn't just a "vote off scum and win" game, this is a "vote off scum better and more effectively than the other team" game.

We have good momentum going and we have a narrow lead, and I'd like to make the most of the time that we have.
