I'll pretty much die on this. I'll try to put together an actual case to show my work but I feel pretty convinced this is the case at this point.

Can't vote Beet because scum still get a kill in and with Moat/Flerp brazenly flaunting their protection during what I feel is pretty surely mylo this is where I'm at.

I get having a strong conviction, but "dying on this" without even considering SK flerp seems slightly overconfident. And, for what it's worth, there are also decent odds that this isn't mylo. (I don't necessarily like set-up speculation, but I'll only be doing it briefly:) In a 15 player game we may very well have 3 scum + 1 SK. We have 10 people either alive or janitored. It's statistically fairly likely that one of the two janitored kills was scum.

I feel like it's safer to assume the worse case scenario and operate from there, as opposed to a false sense of security, yeah?

Also can I point out that trying to downplay mylo only really benefits one alignment.

would you entertain the idea that killing the sk brings back those that "disappeared"? They aren't listed in the kills in the 2P.

You can dismiss the idea if you want, those have just been bothering me all game and I want to know how it works.

I'm dismissing it out of hand because I feel pretty confident Ecco wouldn't split a game up like that - Ecco has split games before (Greiving of... Gaqqu? Trying to remember that name is rough.) but I would 100% believe self-janitoring SK before "they'll return to the game".

:redhammer: Beetphyxious (5): IcePhoenix, b-minus1, Anpu, Monathin, Moatillata

Anpu (0): Dancer, -Dancer

Not Voting (3): Beetphyxious, Dancer, flerp


:h: With 8 players alive, it took 5 votes to be executed.

===============

The villains decided at long last to finally deal with the Beet Question. "Beet's been making a lot of waves," said one, "but I don't see no boat, if you catch my drift." The confusing sentiment was shared by many others. They mobbed around Beet, beat him silly with billy clubs, and snapped his neck for good measure. Checking his room revealed that Beet wasn't a "serial killer" (whatever that is). Beet was just a humble, unassuming, ordinary everyday pig.

:s: Beetphyxious, Myrta, Gumshoe (vice-aligned goon), was executed day 4. :s:

While the villains rejoiced, one of them saw an eerie pink light emanating from Beet's nightstand drawer. Inside was a glowing crystal, pulsating, as if beating like a heart. The crystal was set around a metal frame that gave it the appearance of a cage. "This is a stasis crystal!" shouted Exposition Eddie, a mobster who always provides context for his statements. "It contains someone's soul! This is some serious hardware, they must really have it out for us if they're packing stasis crystals." Eddie takes the crystal, removes its metal bindings, and slams it onto the floor, shattering it to pieces. At the very same moment, the light inside the crystal burst in a blinding flash. When their eyes settled, sitting naked in the center of the floor was one of their own who had mysteriously disappeared.

IllegallySober has returned to the game!


It is now Night 4.

EccoRaven
Aug 15, 2004

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
The mobsters awoke after their first successful vote to find that the coppers were not done with them yet. First up was Dancer, who was brutally stabbed to death during the night. The broken and bloodied knife blade sits nearby. The second was flerp, who like others before him, was frozen in stasis by the Man.

:s: Dancer, Valentine, Lowlife (mafia-aligned vanilla), was stabbed to death night 4. :s:

:s: flerp, Veronika, Bodyguard (mafia-aligned doctor), was frozen night 4. :s:


It is now Day 5.

Ok so first of all, the five people that voted for beet + IS are the only ones left in the game.

IcePhoenix

Anpu

Moatilla
IllegalySober

Flerp confirmed that he got a scroll of protection from Anpu and flipped town, so as far as I'm concerned Anpu is confirmed town. Add onto that the day long slapfight with beet. At the very least he's a bad target.

Sober we now know was killed by scum, not an SK, so the chances of him being scum are too small to even consider imo. Again, bad target.

I've been tunnelling Beet for three days and have only switched my vote at the end of a day to avoid a no lynch, despite openly maintaining that I wanted beet dead. Let's be honest, my play this game is Not Great. But if I were scum shouldn't I be trying to make cases on, I don't know, anyone else? Another bad target.

Let's take a look back at day 2

b-minus1 posted:

Hmmm, these are all great points. Let's look at the final day 2 votes that resulted in a no-lynch

IcePhoenix (6): Max, Atomic Soda, Monathin, Beetphyxious, flerp, b-minus1
Beetphyxious (3): Anpu, Moatillata, IcePhoenix
Moatillata (1): Slamburger
Anpu (1): Dancer
b-minus1 (0):
The Ninth Layer (0):
Dancer (0):
Monathin (0):

Not Voting (1): The Ninth Layer

Anpu voted Beet for obvious reasons. Icephoenix wasn't gonna vote himself obviously.

I think beet may be on to something. If ICephoenix is scum, then there's likely a scum among anpu, moat, slam, dancer, and tnl. Anpu has soft claimed a role with verifiable results, and I'm operating on good faith that slam is town. That leaves moat, dancer and tnl.

IcePhoenix (6): Max, Atomic Soda, Monathin, Beetphyxious, flerp, b-minus1
Beetphyxious (3): Anpu, Moatillata, IcePhoenix

Mona and b- voted for me, moat voted for beet. Moat could have hammered but didn't? Not something that fully clears him but certainly a point in his favor.

If we assume two remaining scum and an SK then finding scum is most important, as killing an sk will still give scum a victory if their night kill is successful. But only two crystal kills have been used, and given the way IS returned to us I believe each scum have one. Meaning either a two person scum team and one sk, or a NK was blocked that would have used a crystal. I lean towards the latter, as the way IS returned to us mitigates a greater than 25% non-town setup.

That leads me to night three. There was only one night kill on night three, and it was the standard "frozen" kill that we've been assuming is the scum, but may be an sk. And as for the "missing" kill?

flerp posted:

i protected moat

So a missing scum kill, and a now confirmed doc protecting one of the three remaining players on my list. Moat is a bad target, but also most likely to be sk if there is one.

That leaves me with two players: Monathin and B-.

I'm not going to say that it doesn't matter which one dies, because if there is indeed only one scum left we want to make sure we hit them. Of the two, B- is higher on my scum list, as he tried to get a push on flerp yesterday that ultimately went nowhere. That being said, in a reread of B- and Mona, a lot of their posts seem well coordinated with similar thoughts and information so I'm pretty confident that both of them are scum.

Sorry for being MIA, it's been crazy for me lately. I'm thinking the lynch needs to be either Mona or IP. Before I say for sure I want to go back through some interactions with beet and reread a bit. I should have some time tomorrow to comb thru poo poo a bit better.

I think this is def mylo so we need to be a little bit more cautious.
