Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Gulag, who scum?

Lumpen still has my vote. I'm giving him enough credence that I would like to see a lurker/someone scummy to hammer, if we can. At the very least someone who's claimed VT. Given that he's at -4 and we have a full day left, it's a vote in spirit right now, but it's there.

I honestly don't know what I think of his investigation claim. Pander was on my watch list earlier, but he's shown more involvement today, and not just towards Lumpen and his claims.

This whole day has been really drat weird.

Yeah, I'm thinking Lumpen accomplished what he wanted which was outting a summon. Weren't there previous 3P roles in other FF cpig games that required finding or killing other players? I recall reading that somewhere, but those who actually played in them can probably say whether or not that's true.

There's no way we don't vote Lumpen today, right? Unless someone has a vig, that'd be awesome.

Since I said I would share my notes: prior to this claim my top three scummiest people was this:

1. Pander
2. Keane
3. Dick Bastardly

Pander will look different to me in light of Lumpen's flip (a 3P flip would not make Pander look less scummy, imo, since a 3P Lumpen could scumhunt too. A scum Lumpen makes me think Pander is town and my gut is bad). Keane I was obviously wrong about since he flipped VT. Dick has really lazy cases on Gulag (might be borne of not knowing him, though?) and also scumclaims. Would vote tomorrow.

For now: ##vote lumpen

You know that Keane is dead, right?

Second: a scum Lumpen claims wanted a counter claim because he knew he was likely to be lynched today and getting a counter claim would help his team by giving them a better idea of who to target at night. Since all three monsters are claiming vanilla, the scum team can safely ignore them at night and concentrate on using non killing roles on the other players.

Of the two possibilities, I think the second one would be more likely as the first one has a decent amount of risk.

The problem with that is I claimed Leviathan straight out of the gates and yet no one seems to have targeted me for 2 nights now, which doesn't make sense if scum gets a boon for taking us out.

Morning, I'm still catching up so sorry if this has been covered already, but flavor-wise Fisk's miller claim makes total sense if he is Cecil the Dark Knight, who becomes a Paladin later after plot things happen. I also remember he said early on in the game that his character looked cool and he wished he could post the artwork - that would also fit Cecil ;)

He could still have that be his fakeclaim of course, but as a fakeclaim it would be a very well thought-out one :v:

Coming up with amazing fakeclaims is the best part of Taste's game. At this point I just don't believe him unless it's been verified.

What?

I'm saying that by getting CLord to counter claim, the scum team Lumpen is on (and the other team as well) can both safely ignore the three monsters because we don't pose any threat at night.

I'm not suggesting that scum get a boon for killing us. In fact, if scum do get a boon for killing us then why isn't one of us dead already? I don't think a single scum team can't kill all three of us on one night. So if they do need us dead, then one of us should have died last night.

Instead, the scum team(s) now know that the three of us can't do anything at night so they can use any non killing roles on other people.

What's funny is Lumpen is still being coy here. He's not specifying what night action or even which night.

He and his scumbuddies are furious at me, with good cause, and he's trying every possible gambit in the book to make me pay for it.

I am so glad I signed up for this game, because the schadenfreude is so amazing.

Inf would be high on my list. I don't like how he used "dumb" as though it validated his voting, I felt his interactions with pera were really not town, and I don't see much interest in actually casing this game. His immediate reaction to me calling out lumpen was the most genuine thing I've seen from him this game.

TT/Fisk went out of his way to claim not only his flavor role but what he functionally did, when there really wasn't any reason to. I don't know if he ever answered my question as to why he'd claim miller D3. I've brought up some other things he's done too if you check my history.


Almost everyone but Inf/Fisk occupy this kind of gray area where I have some doubts but nothing super concrete. Usually by now I'd have a few people I'd feel are pretty towny, but not so much this game.

Kash was looking better with his effortposting, but that goodwill is washed away with some pretty bad posts lately. I was distracted by bigger issues at the time, but I remember my gut not liking them.

Quid looked worse by the end of yesterday, odd interactions.

Mithross' casing yesterday feels like it was built with a destination in mind, and thus every interpretation bends toward the conclusion he wanted to give. And he called me more involved today, when I think I was pretty drat involved yesterday.

Gulagdolls is a borderline white noise machine similar to Varinn, which is frustrating at best and a wonderful cover for scum at worst.

And that doesn't really get into the lurkers. I'm big into seeing if a poster's history makes sense, and it's really hard to do that with folks like SoS and moat.

That's still a very small benefit to be gained.

I mean I can't think up too much else, maybe just hoping it's a lurker who won't chime in, or that it was me (which lets him claim incredulity). It's just a really small benefit for guaranteeing your lynch.

What reason at all does anyone have to believe that Cecil isn't just your fake claim, and that you're actually scum (not a miller) who killed on N1 because that's what scum do?

We know scum have fake claims because FuSoYa wasn't counter-claimed.

There's zero reason to be certain Cecil isn't a fake claim. As a mod I made Phoenix Wright a fake claim once I think (maybe Edgeworth?) in a PW mafia.

Your posting isn't very good, and you've tended to be very abrasive when it comes to doing anything besides claiming your role.

Are you expecting people to go "oh well he claimed cecil, he's effectively mod confirmed town now"?
