Riddle me this: What kind of 3P do you think she is, that has a dayvig that can't kill town? RF put out a decent theory, which if true means she is absolutely hunting for scum. What else is there?

BTW, the string claiming is what makes it clear you're not town. You come out with some new little part of the claim without any regard whatsoever for disclosing this new thing, but you definitely withheld information initially for some reason. That's not how town thinks.

That said, I don't think the role makes sense as scum from what we've seen. Maybe I'm wrong.

Lots of banter that looks irrelevant.

That's my read of your game, buddo.

1. Lumpen and MMT had the same sort of feeling I did in the beginning of AA. I cooled on AA after we went back and forth, and he posted more and more. I find him feeling town.

2. Lando seemed like a scumslip, as I said. After the explanation, I dropped it. I'm not convinced either way, and feel Neutral.

3. It was clarified, and I stated my vote on you no longer meant anything.

You're very clearly misrepresenting what happened, and it seems like you are literally just skimming the game.

I have no idea. I could think of a thousand different things. It's day 1 in a game where I have no information about roles other than my own, the n0 action against me, and the mod posts. Trying to riddle about what 3p alignment she could be seems unhelpful, friendo.

To state my stance, there is some chance that both MMT and Quid are 3P instead of town, yes. MMT is way less likely than Quid, imo, and I also think they're the worst possible lynches today. Why would we intentionally lynch town or a small percent 3P? We should be trying to find scum.

The people who are most worried about 3P are scum, so I'll be keeping a closer eye on you from now on, Merk. I was leaning town on you before but now I'm leaning the other direction.

I did read them. However, the string claim jumps off the page, friendo.

Lumpen: Don't know - weird he hasn't made a LumpenList. His PR makes him hard to read.
bminus: Don't know.
Snail: Could be scum. His RF vote is the only vote that has any meaning in the game, and he only gave the explanation for it after I forced him to do it.

To be clear, is "someone claimed a vig that can kill scum and confirm town, I am concerned about them" how town thinks?

I claimed no bullets because I thought I had seen through a transparent attempt to rolefish me. And I did, it's just not from the person who I originally thought was doing it.

Dead Cow has been flying under my radar and upon rereading him I just realized why. He's said absolutely nothing about who he thinks is scum or town, despite being around to post about flavor and question people about roles. The only potential take he's even had is that B-minus1 has been quiet this game.

I'd really like to hear something with substance from Dead Cow before tomorrow.

I think 50 is going hard on something stupid. I think Merk's push to go after a potential 3P day one is dumb and I don't know what information we would gain from that. What threat is there to town of a brutal cop that can't kill town?

It's an easy lynch for scum to jump on because they don't lose anything from it, and if Merk is wrong about MMT being 3P and MMT is town, then even more beneficial to scum.

What the heck are you doing Merk?

I don't lie about my role when town. I withhold information, at best, but I'll tell you when I'm withholding because it's in town's best interest. Read my post above that Opo quoted. I think MMT purposely withheld information with a purpose and then chose to string claim it with a fake 'eh whatever who cares' vibe about it. That doesn't ring town to me.

I'm willing to let it go today. I know I won't get her lynched (and I don't think she's scum at the moment).

I want to correct this real fast. You mean with her claimed ability it doesn't make a lot of sense for her to be scum based on what we know right now.

Town loses when we assume people aren't scum based solely on role. We don't have perfect information. She could be lying (e.g. Faulty Vig?).

So why'd she claim that she has no more shots? The only town justification, which I now agree with after thinking about it more even though I don't do that myself, would be if she's lying.

I am concerned about MMT as 3p because of the way she string claimed.

Just the one-shot part or was there some other bit she left out? I wouldn’t have said that in my initial claim either. She only added on when asked to shoot someone else, which she didn’t have to respond to I guess but I don’t really see why you think that’s more 3rd party than town
