Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Did a quick read of IS, and one thing that stands out as weird to me is that he voted AA twice in a row yesterday.

Day two, while Quid is going down, he posts a reasonable case on AA, and while he votes Quid, he does state that he intends to vote AA at the start of the next day, which he does at the start of D3:

IllegallySober posted:

I know I've been mentioned a couple of times and will respond to those and read more deeply the posts I missed from yesterday/this morning on my lunch break.

For now, I will ##vote AA as I said I would do at the end of the game day yesterday pending further developments.

KB, if you requested healing targets for today, I've missed it- let me know if you wish me to heal someone during the day today. My day heal is not Shine-dependent.

Either today or tomorrow I'd like to be put in battle and if battling would like to be placed in the back row as mentioned before but that's completely up to KB and I understand.

I'll be back for more reading/posting in about three hours.

Then he unvotes when the Moat stuff gets posted, briefly OMGUS-es MMT (and he does openly admit it's a reactive vote), and unvotes from there after Moat claims:

IllegallySober posted:

##unvote from MMT.

I haven't had a chance to fully consider all the permutations of Moat's claim yet but will be gone for a good chunk of the next couple of hours. KB, if you're ready to wrap up, tell me and I'll vote there. Otherwise I'll try to go on break at work early and get back to this.

Then, with KB's permission, votes AA:

IllegallySober posted:

Sure thing ##vote AA

He then says that he'd be fine with a Moat vote, and that he doesn't think his vote on AA is doing anything... but during this time he's digging through AA's post history, and digs up the AA quote about popping Indomitable Will:

IllegallySober posted:

I totally missed how he phrased this.

Moat is still well ahead in the votes at this point, and some people express disappointment that they don't think it can be swung onto AA. Then IS posts this:

IllegallySober posted:

I agree and I will help you if we have the votes ##vote AA

Switching his vote to AA... from AA. Within about an hour of his previous vote on AA, who was his top read for scum for the day, and in less time than that since he referenced the fact that he was voting AA, time during which he was looking through AA's posting history. Did he really somehow forget who he was voting for? It feels more like an attempt to make it look like there was a switch in momentum.

I'd actually forgotten my vote was parked on AA. Reasonable for you to suspect, but that exchange with KB was right as I'd walked back into work so I'd spaced that he'd asked me to place the vote on AA from before.

This isn't right, though. I noticed it because TMM had quoted something AA had said, not because I was independently going looking for it myself.

I'm actually ok with any Bruiser or Rancher claims at this time if you haven't already claimed.

I'm neither but I have a positive status for the next battle only that is essentially the same as being a bruiser

Hmmm, yes, I'll consider this. I'm also using the threat of vamping to try to prompt OMG to actually contribute though, so we'll see.

So the cases I posted today had no effect on your read?

Like if you think I'm scum, that's one thing, but I'm a bit curious that "I voted for her yesterday and see no reason to change my vote" flies as voting rationale.

If it helps, I have a healing potion which can probably cover a vampiring.

As far as I can tell, MMT has cased (in sorta chronological order):

Kash (unflipped, leaning town)
Me (unflipped, I don't think I'd even posted about my heal yet)
Gamer (unflipped, leaning scum)
Keane (flipped town)
Moat (unflipped, unconfirmed healer, null read)
AA (flipped town, confirmed healer)
Hats (unflipped, leaning town based on Tobbs' info)
IS (unflipped, confirmed healer, null read)

She also agreed that Slaan was scummy at a few points. largely based on my case.

Healers MMT has not suspected or cased:
FL

I don't know how conclusive this information is tbh. I haven't been reading MMT very carefully. She's a good player and I have a very hard time determining her alignment one way or another :/

Same can be said for literally everyone who ever claimed to heal anyone.

Also, what? Moat's original anti-claiming position WRT healers fits his claim nicely.

Are you saying that the simplest explanation is that Moat has been role-playing a healer to cover for a healer scumbro? Why?

Also, if Moat's heals don't work, whether he does them or not, isn't it better to keep him alive, else the secret hidden scum conspiracy healer can stop obeying KB and pick his own targets.

This is why you're scum.

Your logic literally applies equally to all those healers.

Scum X pretends to heal someone while Scum Y performs the heal.

I would be happy voting for either chaoslord or Gamer, as it stands now. MMT is tunneling very hard on this Moat/IS/Hats theory, and while I strongly disagree about that being the correct move for today (voting for one of those three), I'm kind of leaning towards MMT being town for it. Like Moat has straight up not been helpful to town so I don't see scum putting in this much effort to try and get him voted out.

I know I said I wasn't going to try and defend myself but I just wanted to correct that because I never suspected Slaan. (which is important because I'm being accused of trying to rid the town of healers and that's bullshit - I was defending AA all day yesterday.)

re: my D1 cases - I don't get why people are using "she cased town d1" as a tick against me since (a) I admitted it as soon as I realized and (b) reads are supposed to evolve, not stay static.

For those who want an official record, my current list goes:

I know they're town: Me, KB
I strongly believe they're town: TMM
I think they're town: TQ, YPM, Hal, Slaan, Gamer, Gene, FL, Kash
I think they could potentially be scum: OMG, Chaoslord, Sal, Tobbs*
I strongly believe they're scum: Moat, Hats, IS
