So no, I didn't send any messages.

AA is right that I don't know everything about the mechanics. I've been thinking about this.

The only possibility that I can see that doesn't involve either b- lying or a messenger lying to b- would be for me to be the cop, and somehow if I target scum, it sends my decoded results to another player. In this scenario I would have to be the cop, since no one else successfully targeted YPM n1, and I don't think sending uncoded messages makes sense with the hidden element of the game.

that would be plausible if binus received the message on n1

take it from me, the self-proclaimed king of lying townies. there'd be no town motivation for lying about that.

i cant exactly wrap my head around a scum motivation for it either, but binus coming back to thread after all the questions just to put a smiley and leave again.... i think voting him is the best move

also of note is the complete lack of actual votes on binus (besides me), despite the amount of skepticism leveled at him for this claim. compare to the rather easy way gotg voted for etr after the claim.

so, i actually dont think gotg is scum with binus unless scum has basically given up, because that vote would be way too obvious. he may still be scum if binus is town, pulling off an easily-justifiable bus that's unlikely to take off. but right now, im thinking binus scum

what im thinking is that there's probably a scum among the posters shading binus but neglecting to place a vote

i think you (and others) put way to much faith in the argument of ha ha an actual mechanical vote as if the vote history matters in comparison to how you post

if you don't think I'm scum then what about siv's cop thing, assuming that paints ypm as scum then are you saying binus is randomly and awkwardly bussing ypm?

that's a lot of buses in a post-etr world

we're under quarantine people stop this

Gotg it's really interesting to me that you were convinced I was some kind of action detector earlier but sure both that I'm the cop and that I caught YPM now.

if he is scum, obviously lying about this would be a horrible gambit.

if he is town, why the hell wouldnt he claim it in his first post of the day?

If you, Amnistar, think it might be a gambit, then it is a gambit, because without going into too many details, you would HAVE to be involved if it was real.

I guess the cop could have copped me n1, and been rolecopped, and been told out of thread their role, and did not reveal it in thread (because ????) and then used the OTHER messenger to get the message to b-minus for whatever reason, and I’m a miller role. I just don’t see that happening

Like this is not how a town player responds to someone calling them scum. Oh I must be a miller lol

this is the only ypm post that could possibly be used as evidence of your gambit working (because it *is* a little weird) but i'm very much not getting "this is not how a town player responds to someone calling them scum" from it. the miller suggestion was only to say "this is how extremely unlikely i find this possibility"

What deflection? You completely derailed the conversation. What were we supposed to do, wait for you to come back patiently? Both GOTG and AA didn’t put down an opinion when they first responded, which is what scum would do if they knew you were lying but were trying to see where the winds were blowing. I was prodding them.

im finding "ypm scum" to be really unlikely because of his case on gotg coming *before* siv's claim, so it'd have to be a majorly lucky coincidence for scum-ypm's chosen push to suddenly get a potential "not same alignment as me" result.

of course. siv could be scum and pulling a complicated gambit, but..... occam's razor

I used my action last night, on AA, and I just got a success with no follow-up so no idea what that did. Judging from this, hard to say if it was much of anything.

If I'm understanding it correctly, wouldn't a Green with no name mean you know someone else visited the same person you did, but not who it was?

Bif was only a messenger, so how did she know that YPM was copped, those results came back as scum and then why choose Binus to send the message to?

Hiding behind a night action claim that can't be verified until at least tomorrow (if anyone gives enough of a poo poo to rolecop a lurker), engaging in ~mechanics chat~ to appear helpful, carefully avoiding stating whether or not they believe the binus claim...

Given the lunch failed to swing to ETR day 1, I think the decision to bus ETR came day 2. I am not against a dragon lunch (there are a few that I would argue against lunching today), but I think GOTG is more likely (even though I’ll die tonight if SiV’s cop claim is confirmed by GOTG’s flip)
