Looking back at this sequence of post, Sal did not make that implication in his response. I don't know that your speculation post was "scummy as hell", but that follow up to his comment doesn't look good from a town perspective and it also makes your absolute alignment calls a bit more slimy.

Sal comes in all cavalier responding to being called out while not addressing anything that just happened.

My absolute alignment calls are a hard bait. Already said that

I think this is the first tiime you mention bee at all. Then you follow up by talking about how if you had gotten lynched that you probably would have shot him like 30 minutes after, but until then I don't think you even acknowledged him as being in the game.

And IS voted me the exact same minute you unvoted to consolidate on Bee. So your chronological recollection here is off.

That is the first time I mention B-

If votes lined up in a certain way I was gonna shoot him dead. Private thoughts and all

All you're saying with the last point is that a no lynch was the most plausible scenario

Still cool voting AA. Proud of the participation, but part of the reason I hard pushed "confirmed town" is that I think scum are more likely to push back on it

Leading me to highlight Sal, jedit, and now AA as people with the most problems with my statement. None are voting me, just trying to push on the fact that I'm "confirmed town." Pick a side boys. Either you like me as town and should actually focus on finding scum, or you don't in which case I'd like to vote the hell out of you

Try and make it clearer what side you're on

But the precise order is "confirmed town"

Sal comes in hot and calls me scummy for calling him out seemingly ignoring the last day

I think that's pretty close to trying to throw shade on a more than likely townie which scum have more reason to do than most

I'm saying you said Sal was trying to implicate you as not confirmed town.

That never happened, and then I called out Sal following your lead, and Hal echoed the same from me, and you first called it bait in response to Hal, but the thing is the two aren't related at all.

It doesn't make any sense.


Sal said you framing Hal/Sal as scummy for the vote split on TM was scummy to say.

You say Sal is undermining your absolute town status for the three players that voted.

Then you go back and call it bait, only after Hal and myself toss blind shade at Sal for doing something that he never did.

He shouldn't have responded at all, or responded to the actual events that had occurred

As is he comes in after I've made my post and attempts to paint me as scummy immediately.

Oh my he responded to a different post to call me scummy wow he must not have seen anything prior to that is a stupid loving argument

I personally felt that post was pretty scummy. Note: Scummy posts does not necessarily mean that I think you are scum. In fact in this one situation that unless this is some uber gambit by the scum team you are town. "Going after" someone to me means multiple posts where they are trying to push their views. You are so low on my radar as far as potential scum that it isn't even worth the effort of reading your posts. I think you are mischaracterizing one post that I made.

No, I think you completely misunderstand why I suddenly find you suspicious again.

I'm saying, you accused Sal of a specific behavior that he didn't contribute. Then you built upon this accusation by tying it towards post 1, which was completely unrelated to anything Sal had to say. I'm not saying that I buy Sal, but I do admit I was wrong to support your claim that he undermined your 100% town bait, which wasn't established as bait until you had already made a false correlation.

OK, vote times after I unvoted Squiggly to set up the three way tie. To avoid timezone confusion I'm going to use time to deadline (TTD).

Starting state: Squiggly and AA voting each other, Hal voting TM.

-1:19 Sal votes TM. TM now lynch leader (LL) on 2.

-1:09 Ix votes Bee.

-0:50 Sober votes Hal.

[-0:47 Squiggly calls Ix's vote good but does not shift]

-0:05 Sober moves to AA. TM/AA now tied on 2.

-0:02 Squiggly votes Bee. Bee/TM now tied on 2.

-0:01 Sober votes Bee. Bee now LL on 3.

My observations:

1) Squiggly

If Squiggly is scum and AA is Town, moving to lynch an absentee scumbro over a Townie makes no sense. It's not worth it for the cred.

So if Squiggly is scum then by the above AA must be as well. This doesn't fly either, as they risked too much voting for each other. They could easily have found themselves in a position where they were the joint LLs. They would have been unable to switch votes at that point for anything other than to make a third party the sole LL, as doing so would have been killing themselves to save the person they'd just been voting for.

Logically, I must therefore presume that Squiggly is Town.

2) Ix

If Ix is scum, then he didn't have to vote Bee. He could as easily have agreed with Squiggly or AA and voted the other for a joint LL, or voted TM to lock TM in. If Ix is scum and TM is Town then this latter course is fine to good depending who the third scum is - there would have to be at least one Townie on TM and possibly two.

If Ix is scum and TM is scum, then Ix had three Town candidates to vote for rather than add his other scumbro into the mix. I don't see him doing that.

So Ix is in my mind definitely Town.

3) TM

If TM is Town, then from my perspective there must be two scum in AA, Hal and Sal. Two of them were voting for TM, so that seems obvious.

If TM is scum, then we're back to the argument that voting for a scumbro when you don't have to puts them in needless jeopardy. This goes double for Sal, as he put his bro into LL. That would logically mean that the remaining scum would have to be AA. Squiggly's going to be pissed because I'm creating another dichotomy between TM/AA and Hal/Sal, but I'm more concerned with removing hiding places at this stage.

##vote Hal

On balance I think of my three suspects he's the most likely to be scum. If TM is Town then he's 66% likely to be the hit. If not, then Hal was the first one on and got on when I was still voting for Squiggly; it was easier for him to be trapped into voting for a bro.

That's the first good post you've made linking people because it's based on an actual flip and what happened leading up to it

Why Hal over Sal, not that I have a true preference at this point. Hal is more a lurker lynch but so was b minus

I'm also moving up TM on my list. Laid one vote on flam and has done nothing of note since. Said "I would vote jedit" with no reasoning and seems to be lurking hard since we're considering lurker lynches

As I said: if TM is Town it's equally likely that Hal or Sal is scum, but if TM is scum it's easier to see scum Hal voting a bro to 1 than scum Sal making a bro LL with just over an hour to go.

Gut, as much as anything. But the TM push came before the run on Bee, and if it is Hal/Sal then they could have left three Townies tied for lynch lead or even hopped onto separate people to guarantee a mislynch. I should reappraise the scenarios; I've been treating them all as equally likely, but they're not.
