Ice's push on you is self-admittedly omgus and all he's done is go for Yami yesterday building from a flavor justification (which he checked with you two on first yes, but that could also be viewed as a quiet safety check before putting it out in the thread). He tried to draw a connection between Yami and Asiina but it's very tenuous. It's also still notable that Keane was pushing back on the flavor thing with Ice yesterday, and died last night. Plus there's what I pointed out earlier about how he tried to draw IS into the tiff between you and him - it's in my posts from earlier today.

Nobody else is pinging me quite as much as he is right now, and I really don't like that he hasn't re-evaluated in the light of your doc counterclaim - instead, he's just pushing harder. (Others are guilty of this too, but it's another thing on the pile.)

hmmm. this post is causing my brain to struggle and bend.

IP mentions that his flavor seems to contradict Yami's Miller claim- this is well before he says anything in-thread about it. We discussed if he should post about it then and agreed to wait and see because he wasn't 100% sure it was a contradiction. Off IP's paraphrased flavor, I said mine sounded similar to his and Moat's, which led me to think for now that the three of us were town.

Moat's claim doesn't really change anything for me. This post

sums up my feelings about the doc claim, minus the private chat and most trusted things, obviously.

I don't really buy the vehement disbelief in a doc claim unless there's a counterclaim - and I got burned on looking for a soft counterclaim from bowmore before, so I'm not going to drive myself crazy this time.

Basically your justification for not believing his doc claim is that he didn't claim in the masonchat and he wasn't around at deadline to claim on D2. Is that what it comes down to? Because that's not enough for me.

Also, Occam's Razor. If scum is fakeclaiming, claiming doc is hella risky. I don't see someone doing that.

It's a common enough role that you're more likely to get counterclaimed. I've only seen it with people on the ropes trying to draw out the real doc, but not feeling that here.

I find it highly unlikely that you are actually a doctor. Unlike others, I get holding onto that information in the masonry, but I feel like you were just making a Gambit.

Do you think Sal is scum? Why do you think keane was the target? Do you think the cult cop is a red herring like last game?

Questions no hunting.

Then you continue to tunnel pod until your drive out IP... Your Mason overview made IP look worse, but in hindsight he only really demonstrated a lack of clear conviction which is funny because you ask questions and toss votes, but have been solely fixated on tunneling Pod

I wish I had more time around that last deadline, but alas.

Then you protect your masonry member IS instead of the cop or yourself claiming to be blocked...

So, to explain my scum read on Pod: I feel like he's directing traffic and soliciting reads (which is good), but I'm not getting enough follow up or meaningful conclusions to convince me he's of a town mindset to be trying to figure stuff out. There's no red-alert scumminess to this behavior, but that's not how experienced players usually get caught, especially in light of no scum flips so far. His interaction with Moat after Moat claimed and then posted his reads seems to be the clearest case of this:

Podima posted:

Anyone still on Moat for not participating after this post should feel bad. Good to have you back, buddy.

P.S. I watched Moat struggle his way through a godawful scum game under KB's steely eyes in Shine V. If he feels relaxed enough to shitpost under my chilly gaze, he's probably fine.

His reaction feels like he's revealing his mindset of "yay, the doctor claimed" which is obviously not a town sentiment.

I would expect a true town player who is soliciting so many opinions to be picking at people's reads a lot more and pressuring their inconsistencies or questionable reads. Other than the players he's specifically voting for, he seems to be happy to get any read or opinion, like he's just checking the box to make sure other people appear to be scumhunting.

Subtle points, but its my strongest read.

Night 1: Watched Max because I was drunk and I love him very much irl, nobody visited.

Night 2: Watched moat because he was cleared as non-cult to me from Keane via masonry and I wanted to make sure that wasn't changing, nobody visited.

Night 3: Watched Sal because if Moat was legit I expected him to self-protect like he said he could, so I figured scum would go for Sal. Moat visited.

In retrospect I would have watched Sal N1 but alcohol informed my choice.
