The case on AAI:

He asked "Who blocked Scum in the thread".

The hypothesis:

AAI is scum. AAI was blocked himself or heard from a scum friend that Scum was blocked. His reaction was to go *to the thread* and helpfully ask *the entire game* who was responsible for blocking Scum.

My beef:

That anyone thinks scum is capable of that level of incompetence is shocking to me. AAI would need to have a fundamental lack of understanding of the game to think that was an okay thing to post as scum. And if he were scum and raw, sterling new - his scum buddies would be coaching him.

An interesting thing to note:

Toal says he doesn't think that anyone scum slips. Proceeds to vote on a case that is predicated on a "scum slip".

Beyond that, the vote on AAI has two of the three people featuring most highly on my scum-dar, DB and TM.

I'm all down for establishing a consensus. But can it be on someone with a reasonable case against them?

Xiw is the best pick for learning the layout of scum by location.

TM has enough suspicion on himself today and narrows down the people to pay attention to as possible scum at the river..

DB has been interacted with oddly by the other people I think are scum. Additionally, with so many votes and not votes against him, we have data to work with when he flips.

I'd vote for any of these people.

I disagree with this. Xiw was the only one at their location. I would rather lunch someone that went to a location with other people:



pretty cool cliffs
rex, somber

rockin' quarry
db, merk (rip town), clord, hum

river of losers
bowmore, TMor, Toalpaz, Keane (lol jester), asf



Xiw, it is time to claim. Role, n1 action, and result. I am especially interested in the result of your action

I'm fine with either of xiw or tm. I'd probably lean tm this stage as there's more content there to be suss of and more interactions to look at post flip.

Xiw just goes with our theory or locations and while I'm a big fan, I feel the riverbank is a better place to pick apart. Would swap back if needed.

I would rather stick to playing mafia and killing people who act suspicious weird and bad. If we're assuming locations matter in this game wouldn't scum have ways to obscure 'location matters' game solving. Also they could have just anticipated people would care about locations and arranged their choices based on that. It's wifom and set up spec imo. Though I don't know how AAI was acting in the masonry last night though so like, if it was townie then fine whatever.

TM was here and defending themselves and participating. To me it read like bickering of someone who was bad and not necessarily scummy. AAI was also up for lunch yesterday and I'm wondering if scum switched/fought back against it to save him.

Tm is based primarily on their posting though? So that is mafiaing even if we're framing the targets to view by the location. Even without locations tm pings me far more than aai. Xiw is based on location theory alone and consequently they aren't my first choice.

Aai seems like the lowest hanging fruit, but the worst part of their posting is actually their brothers' weird defense of them.

I'm very bad at certain things. I never mean to offend. I'll try to better about your pronouns

Also, there were like four votes on AAI yesterday. Tobbs being one of the least serious accusations. I don't see how you arrived at deciding it was scum bussing and not a push on a weak player.

Just because scum don't want to make serious accusations day one against scum buds. I scum bussed b- and solus because they were low hanging fruit my last game, all I said was that they were lurky and awkward, and it got brought up several times by people who read me.

The case on Xiw confirms or denies our set-up spec. Which is a worthwhile thing to do.

TM has more attention in the thread but comes from the river where there are plenty of potential candidates for "river scum".

I think voting Xiw is generally more conclusive and gives us better evidence to work with. I would vote TM if the thread decides they'd prefer that. But I really think Xiw is the best pick.

Also I don’t have a result on xiw, or anyone. But I would strongly advise any town player that is in danger of being lunched to full claim. There are some unclaimed roles that I have good reason to believe are in the game, and the claims could help us clear town/catch scum in a lie. Don’t want to say any more than that.

Personally yes, just leave Xiv for now until they come back to heroically get above 20 posts.

I still do feel AAI is likely just new town based on talking to them during night phase, but please do post more about specific players, it will help disperse people's issues with you.

XIW you might notice that Max unvotes, and then I vote, and then Max votes again. Making me the 3rd vote on Infinitum, and Max the 4th.

Max votes for Infinitum quoting Hal, and seems to be agreeing that the AAI push is worse than Inf.

By your logic is this vote suspicious or not? With the choice between a confirmed townie and someone unflipped Max choose to try and lynch town? What do you think of it?

The last half an hour I figure is people switching to get a kill pretty much so I'm more interested in the first half - I know I'll happily switch to someone I don't have a super clear picture on to avoid a no-info day. Why do you call AAI confirmed townie here? As far as I can tell max has the same amount of info in either case.

Tired Moritz posted:

nice theory but considering it relies on the bolded part, I kinda doubt it. But Rex could just be a scum tracker/watcher who saw Flerp murder Tobbs.

My biggest issue, which is more a me thing than something I can trust others on, is that Rex read the Tobbs and Flerp interactions the same way I did earlier in the day. That it ended up being the SK and not a scum buddy doesn't phase me too much because, well, it looked that way pre-flip.

I also have pointed out that the mechanic of tying night actions and night kills from previous games may have come back, and all I see is TM dismissing it as if that doesn't fit the argument they are making and is just annoyingly getting in their way, instead of even considering that information.

In this case, I'd pick Tired Moritz. His argument that Town had killed Keane devolved into making a case on a perceived scumslip, to deflecting on what scum can or cannot do, and basing his case on an assumption that was wrong and disproven due to Max's elimination of the SK. At best he is operating on bad faith and doubling down on it. At worst, he is being coached into making this case so people don't look at his Town killed Keane case any closely.
