you literally just said 100% that lumpen lynch is wrong...

IF HE IS SCUM ITS NOT WRONG

My god you are not listening to me.

I AM NOT CONVINCED HE WILL FLIP SCUM.

I THINK THERE'S A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY BUT HIS PLAY IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH A SCUM MINDSET.

HE MIGHT BE SCUM MAKING A POINT, IN WHICH CASE WE GET LUCKY.

Lumpen is a PURE LUCK cuddle, and I have maintained that because of that HE IS THE WRONG CHOICE FOR WHERE WE ARE IN THE GAME.

If Lumpen is town then the town is pretty hosed and we also didn't learn much, we would be basically where we are right now just down a townie and without a free lynch. We would have to lynch MMT and go into lylo basically today but with less town.

No matter what JakeP flips we will get a lot of information about this game, which maybe won't help us directly tomorrow if he flips town, but could definitely help us on lylo.

Anyone who is voting off "what we will learn" instead of "who we think is most likely to be scum" is either playing poorly or scum themselves.

there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should

But if he's town, he wouldn't vote with us. He'd vote whoever. And scum would all vote with him.

Again, the exact reason we are supposed to vote MMT tomorrow if we don't hit scum today.

How is it different?

He is unreliable.

I'm pretty sure he's scum so it's a win/win at getting us farther in the game.

Following that, if he's not scum (and I don't know! it is a gamble! my gut is telling me it is a bad gamble but it is a gamble!) then we cuddle MMT, and we are right. back. where. we. were. today. And we will lose this game.

Lumpen's roleplaying an adventurer with some kind of bipolar personality disorder. He gets crazy during the early day then gets dumb as the day ends. It's annoying but it's not inherently scummy.

I would not be surprised if Lumpen and JakeP were scum together, but I think it is very suspicious that so many people rushed to Lumpen last-minute and are now allergic to moving their votes.

Lumpen isn't making any cases on people and get BHB, Rarity, Quid, and now you have all railed very hard against voting for him. If he's town, scum would just let the vote happen, I'm 100% sure of that.
