Sure enough. I've actually correctly guessed many scum day one based on their first sets of posts and 'content'. I've done it at least 3 times successfully. I think my case against you is legit. I'm being mindful of the fact that AA suggested that FL and you could have been in a fake scum argument.

The true prophet. Rest in peace Toal, you did good buddy :unsmith:

As to who I am suspicious of, those who immediately come to mind are AA and Pod. The former made highly questionable decisions towards the end of the day, including an incredibly dubious vote onto someone who was not going to get lynched anytime soon.

I’m suspicious of the latter because they were the ones who tried to move the initial vote off of Merk and onto Solus. He was one of the more stubborn votes to swing over onto Merk and I feel like it could have been his hand being forced or his game would’ve blown up. After all, he had said before that Merk was suspicious. It shouldn’t have been so hard for him to jump ship when he realised Solus wasn’t happening.

Now that Toal has flipped town, I’m also wondering whether his push onto him was trying to patsy Toal considering he piggybacked off the argument I made which was either ignored or argued against in the case of Toal.

Willing to post more thoughts later. At work atm.

The thing about the AA vote on me is that

1) I had come up a bit in discussion at that time
2) They made it clear they wouldn't be around
3) The idea of voting someone somewhat on the outside chance of getting lynched paints a target on you. Knowing one of your scumbros was in the top few votees at the time, it'd be nuts to take that risk as scum

Also solus was at -1, if I was scum I would have hammered solus and have been done with it.

My push for Kashuno stands. I don't like his end of day vote on merk and it seemed like the resigned vote of a scum who saw no other out for their scumbro.

Anyhow, yeah phone was at 1%, I expressed what I could before my phone died, and then vanished because phone was dead and I was still very much busy with life at that point in time.

Welcome to Sandman Mafia, a fairly standard game of mafia for 12 players.

We will be doing a c/9 variation for this game. Expect 2-3 scum and 1-2 cops/docs. Otherwise, people will be Vanilla town, the greatest role in mafia after Bus Driver.

I highly doubt there is a 3P. I think Max has intended this game to be simple and a 3P just muddle things up. I’d rather focus on scum hunting personally.

Looking back at the votes on MMT then the shift to Solus and Merk

The most suspicious votes are beets and FLs

FL for that real weak departure from MMT to something rather innocuous on Huma.

But beet more than FL for their series of convictionless votes. Seems like they were just following heat on MMT and toal and then ended up on merk at deadline, but no explanations really in between. Some vague snipes and a lot of jokes.

##vote beet

Would still vote Kash, and while MMT is probably unlikely for scum at this junction her/FL remain a point of contention in my mind.

I feel like this is really weak logic. You can desperately want something to happen and not be happy when you have to give it up. Especially if sus on someone but not feeling like there's a strong case.

Looking back I actually don't see where you made a case. In fact you call out MMT for a cliché meta read on Pod.

The only interaction with Pod I saw is where Pod had asked for some response and you explained, but I don't see where you actively cased him. You also advocated for toal's lunch after kind of fizzling off mmt. And were pretty strongly on solus from what I can tell prior to their appeal.

I did find Pod to be a bit frantic around deadline, but that's mostly because their response to my kash case and vote was a wet fart.

All things considered, I'm not opposed to looking there, I just don't see where you actually made an effort to toss suspicion there until today.

I meant that I feel that Pod and his actions should probably be looked at under a new light after we now know that Toalpaz was town and that Merk was scum. He was the figurehead of the voteswings against Toalpaz as well as Solus. I feel like the latter one is especially susicious considering Merk was close to getting lynched before Pod came in and moved the vote onto Solus. It took a very strong effort to get the vote back onto Merk and it all came in at the last second.

Podima posted:

OK I'm here. I still have major issues with Toal but would also vote merk or Solus in a heartbeat today. I'm gonna do one more quick reread of those three to gather my thoughts fresh as I admit I got a bit personally irritated at Toal which is probably overshadowing things.

Podima posted:

Toal
- early game fabricated/awkward content (but posting today is better admittedly)
- over-serious read on MMT, to point of talking about ending day quickly, jumped off that vote
- never justified various meta reads (town read on Solus, scum read on merk) - this now feels more like it could be a tactical "nah" to force people to justify their positions, ended up reversing their town read on Solus
- strongly hammering the meta read on merk based on amount of engagement, which I dislike as someone else who posts based on work schedule

merk
- commented early on the FL/jokephase thing
- agree with his case on toal as it's covering similar ground to what I spent time doing yesterday
- bad characterization of Solus as a patsy that I disagree with (coupled with hedging that he'd vote Solus anyways), same with the FL thing I mentioned
- lots of attempts to push the thread when taken as a whole
- that pivot on Humalong wtf


Solus
- bad early game case on MMT for "flopping" covered ad nauseum (including the "lock-in" thing)
- agrees with an AA explanation of the MMT case that I find nonsensical
- the "merk and toal are definitely opposed" response to "what do you think about merk" feels hedgey esp when he only committed to a vote on merk for the reason of "fine I'll trust toal" - not taking ownership of vote
- see quotes for a progression that makes no sense over the span of 6:18 PM - 6:39 PM

I feel like in these posts he voices willingness and support for a Merk lynch. Then, when push comes to shove and it’s clear that the Solus vote isn’t happening because MMT and I flat out stated we refused to vote for him while Toalpaz wasn’t moving his vote away from Merk, he is still hesitant and trying to make a case on someone who at that point had effectively quit the game. It felt like much more effort was needed to sway Pod than there should have been based on what he had posted in the thread.

Kashuno posted:

The thing is though he had stated before that he would vote out Merk “in a heartbeat” and still fought hard against the vote when it was moving back towards Merk. His actions feel like they run counter to what he had stated previously. In general, I think he’s looking murky today and definitely one of the people I’m most suspicious of.

Ugh, closed out my case tab.

Anyhow, regarding pod.

I am marginally salty that he dismisses my cases without much actual real explanation or effort, but regarding his opinions on toal, solus and merk, he at least took the time to address them in a way that doesn't seem artificial.

There is some dissonance though and I think that is curious.

The "in a heartbeat" and the "solus as patsy" remark on his assessment of merk don't vibe with how the day plays out, but he did actually explain conviction.

Another thing of note is that he seems to just be catch-up playing. All of his posts as far as I can tell happen within in 1 hour on 12/11 and 2 hours on 12/12 so I think he just gave us a hot take grab bag more than anything.

I don't think it's a smoking gun, but I would lik ehim to explain the in a heartbeat and then his reluctance to vote merk.
