I'm most suspicious of AR and AA at this point. Their presence on dong's list is a happy coincidence.

I still think this is concerning:

So you think my cop claim is a lie? You think as scum I'd waste my shine copping someone like flying leatherman? You think I set up breadcrumbs for a fake claim?

You played like this in shine I and I had yoy pegged for mafia but was wrong so I don't know if I'm misreading you, you're scum or a town really way off track. As far as AR I can't say. My suspicions still fall strongest on TQ and ANarc based on how I've seen them play as town and scum.

Hi.

This is your vote:

Absurd Revolver posted:

and while I didn't want to lynch you before, the evidence is pretty damning. your town game is super solid, but you tend to struggle as scum, as you did in Trump.


better luck next time!

##vote adahn
While you mention meta, this vote came very shortly after Infin's huge case on him and says "the evidence is pretty damning", which is clearly a reference to the evidence Infin presented.

Absurd Revolver posted:

inf if ur wrong ur next bitch
This, shortly after, also implies your vote was largely based on Infin's case.

I did note that you backed off it the next day. It made me feel better about you yesterday, but I'm not so sure it should anymore!

Do you still feel like you would want a cop to cc AA?

Yes, I think it's possible you are lying. You would not be the first scum to claim cop, it's easier to fake than other claims and it makes people very hesitant to lynch a claimed cop. I think it's very possible there's multiple town [shine] cops. My understanding of the lotto is everyone got what they requested. Until I see evidence contrary to this, I see no reason not to operate under that assumption. I haven't seen your breadcrumbs.

I'll read whatever cases you have on AN and TQ tomorrow.

All round mafia nice guy
Concise case on TQ:

I'm going from memory here, so hopefully everything is in order.

1. TQ quickly accepts that Infinitum is a boss, despite Infinitum trying to hide that and outright denying it. Reads as a scumslip to me.
2. Infinitum pushes hard for my lynch because I "Knew he was a boss". Many people ended up defending me, but TQ didn't utter a peep (despite calling infin a boss an hour before me).
3. Infinitum publicly announces that he's submitting TQ to the mercenary. The ONLY reason to do this is for town cred. Everything Infin did (outing people on his list) was in the hopes he could get someone lynched for town cred. However, he didn't want TQ lynched, he just wanted credit in case TQ died. I think it's because TQ slipped up in acknowledging Infin as a boss way too quickly.
4. There is a lot of weird back and forth between Infinitum, but no real pressure.
5. TQ outright says "Infin is probably a scum boss" but gives reasons that are irrational to try and prevent us from lynching "a boss" D1, which would have likely been infinitum.
6. TQ immediately starts day 2 with an AA push. I've had a town read on AA, which I've been very vocal about, and I think the push on him is VERY scummy. As uncounterclaimed shine cop, he's essentially confirmed vanilla town. TQ pushed very hard for that lynch to gain traction before AA claimed.

There might be other points I'm missing, but that's the essence of it.

I agreed with Viva 100% on that. I thought there was no reason to dive into the boss drama and off one of them yesterday since I figured the night would clear things up some, and it did. If I had to vote one of them, I was on the record that Inf would be the right choice, but I didn't think we should.

Being out of shine I think claiming is useful. If I could cop without it, and didn't think I might be gwtting pushed by scum I'd have stayed quiet, but with no guarantee of extra shine, the least I can do is confirm at least one player's alignment.

I don't really agree with this in general, but since you are a prime cuddle target for the day, this probably made sense regardless of alignment.

I can't believe I'm arguing that Jimson might be scum because he's not acting as scummy as he usually does, but it's on my mind so I figured I'd put it out there.

Yeah, this is like no Jimson I've ever experienced, so I'm not sure how to read it.

LD, in order:

(a) puts out Adahn as a scum read
(b) agrees with ANarc that Infi (!) / Adahn (?) is a town slapfight
(c) questions why there are so many votes out without cases (while excusing Infi for it)

then..


(d) without making any cases, frets that we might not get a lynch before deadline
(e) moves to Glowku with a sort of resignation

LD - what's your read on Adahn right now? If you thought he was acting consistent with his scum game, why didn't you case him instead of moving to Glowku?

There was rolecop on that list though, that would have been more useful if I were scum.

I'm vanilla outfit-aligned, and I got to choose a role in the lottery. I selected Cop, regular old alignment cop.

I've stated it more than once though and provided reasoning for it. I'm happy to be lynched today if it means town will get on the track of identifying the actual scum with my lynch. So by all means, do vote me out. However, when you do you really need to scrutinize the people pushing my lynch and their contributions in context with Glowku's lynch and the interactions with infinitum.

No. I'm not really sure what info AA's cuddle would buy us unless he flips scum.

The reason I'm still thinking of voting him is I think his posting has been scummy. Right now I'm doing some rereading to see what jumps out at me though. I'll take another look at TQ, but one of the reasons I'm not really considering him is I think Adahn's case on him is bad:

Adahn1986 posted:

6. TQ immediately starts day 2 with an AA push. I've had a town read on AA, which I've been very vocal about, and I think the push on him is VERY scummy. As uncounterclaimed shine cop, he's essentially confirmed vanilla town. TQ pushed very hard for that lynch to gain traction before AA claimed.

There might be other points I'm missing, but that's the essence of it.

For example on 1) This seems like nonsense to me. It was obvious the second Dongs claimed that he was essentially claiming the same thing as inf and so therefore inf was probably also a boss. Thus, I along with many others wanted to hear some clarification from Inf on it. on 2) Tons of people in SA mafia get mad or think you are scummy if you jump in and defend other people instead of letting them defend themselves. This doesn't stop me. But I don't fault someone else for not doing it. And on 6) I've already discussed that not only would a shine cop probably not counter claim at this point but that mechanics wise and based on previous game you can't even assume that a cop would only be town.

Note, this is all without rereading though. I may feel differently if I reread with hindsight, so reserving final judgement.

Well because at this point the only confirmed town are JakeP and dongs. The glowku lynch gave us almost nothing to go on. I'm trying to think about worst case we lynch town but what would give is a better read on the game as a whole. Some people have a lot of polarized opinions surrounding them which when we see their flip it might help suss out others. I mean would could lynch someone that hasn't posted at all but we run the risk of just lynching lurker town And gaining nothing from it.

This still doesn't follow for me. On the info thing, I find that town flips generally don't provide much information in general. It's only a scum flip that normally lends any insight. And, we might have one! If Inf was scum. I mean, he was a boss, so that suggests he had a team? We can analyze the posting that surrounded him to look for clues. If you haven't already done that, why don't you go look at Inf's posts and the people that posted about him for clues. :) So again, you seem to be looking for information from the next flip that you theoretically already have. I find this weird in a scummy way, so I'd probably vote you here normally, but you seem to be playing way different to the game I remember you being scum in with me, so for meta reasons I'm holding off.

Yeah, lurkers are still a decent problem in this game. But if Cat doesn't up her posting, at least we can cuddle her tomorrow without ending the day. The others are just getting by with skirting the line.
