Skimming sandwolf amoeba & bif I feel like if one of them is scum then it’s probably the scum that popped up after tpink got jailed and I don’t think that’s a productive target to aim for atm

Point being I have reasonably town vibes from all three. Aside from the bif point I just made, but otherwise I feel pretty good about her

So ya really think that with Mistuh amoeba's control of the discussion yestahday an' how many questions he asked that he was framin' his thoughts in an unbias way? I think it's fairly apparent in his short history that he's bein' pretty dishonest there when ah ain't been nothin' but a servant ah the lord

I find post restrictions an easy way for scum to cover up their phrasing, and I don't like how Squiggs has leaned into it. I don't feel good about Sandy. I think cheese is OK and I like how Bifs been. I've never played a game like this so I'm pretty loving lost.

That was my first thought when I went back and looked at them.

I don't see amoeba coming in the way he did when he replaced in and gunning for tpink when there were other easily viable targets. He's also been pretty good about explaining his cases and trying to jeep the game moving. Early reads aren't quite as valid in this new setup but amoeba has remained pretty townie since tpink died so he's probably the absolute lowest on my list of potential scum

bif has also seemed pretty townie to me, she has also stayed active and aggressive for all the days she wasn't up for the kill when it would be easy to lay relatively low. Now she certainly has the skill to be the vocal and indignant scum in the thread but usually when she does that I find myself disagreeing with a lot of her points because I think she tends to stretch to make some of those cases and she has been fairly reasonable and basically on the same page as me a lot so I don't think that is what is happening here.

Sandwolf... is playing a very strange game for him. I feel like he's been fairly active but also happy to fade into the background, and I generally expect him to be a bit more aggressive than he's been in this game. Usually at this point I have a good idea of what Sandwolf thinks about everything and he's usually gotten into some back-and-forths that open things up for town and I am just not seeing that this game. I think if there is scum in group 1 he's definitely the most likely candidate.

Cena was who I was pretty sure I would vote for when the day started, but then I was put off a bit by how he basically asked us to do that. He also has come out and challenged twice now when he was clearly going to be an option for the kill which is a pretty bold move at this stage of the game.

However, I don't like his sorta peacing out in a huff that he did. That is VERY similar to something he did in a recent game when he was scum and beneath all the bluster he has put out this game there really isn't a lot of solid reads or calls. He has the suspicious extension when flipped scum tpink was on the line, and I've definitely gotten bad vibes from him most of the game. My instinct says he is more than likely scum and I may be falling into the trap of letting my emotional side soften that feeling. The voodoo vote was not great, but to be fair he had loaded up on casting suspicion in voodoo's direction since he replaced in. I am talking myself in and out of this vote. I just don't want to waste another day the way we did with merk.

I assume he hasn't come back to the masonry either since he left the thread?

##vote Voodoo

Lookin' back, it seems that Mistuh Cena had come down with some sort a medical condition where by he was strickin with blind rage at someone targetin' him

I suspected Mistuh Sal briefly for reasons that in tha past he tends to be quieter an a dead man when he's up tah no good. When he left ah company, I let mah suspicions drop ever so briefly, an' was taken in by tha arguments of Mistuh Cena and Mistuh Voodoofly ovah mah own good judgment on Mistuh Cheese. Seein' as all ah my thoughts this game have a history, ah thought maybe the arguments they was makin' might be reasonable

Aftah Mistuh tpink's no good histahry came'n tah light, I do regret my actions and am convinced that one ah my cohort ain't in it with tha interests that tha rest of us here share. I directly asked Mistuh Cena aftah the flip if we should call ahselves because ah felt like he has shared my suspicions on our third membah an' he agreed.

As for people not up today, DGK has basically stopped trying since the day he was up for the vote which I do not like at all. I have a hard time seeing why he would put all his focus onto scumbro tpink that first day though since SNG was always an option, unless he felt like that was too scummy since he was getting hit pretty hard for the policy vote/scumslip stuff. But he still could have gone after me instead of tpink in that situation. As much as I would like to think my early call was right on him I think he's probably not scum at this point, but I would really like him to come back and play more!

cheese has also gone after tpink pretty hard, but never with any reasoning that was explained (well eventually it was sorta explained but it wasn't all that satisfactory). I do feel like his posting now is a bit better but there still haven't been a lot of reads. There are a few things that bugged me in his posting and I was going to quote them here but I just got dragged back into work for a bit but I will get back to him and squiggly in a little bit.

You know, it's just meta so take it with a grain of salt, but he was just scum in a game and made a bit of a show about leaving the thread because he was wasn't happy with the game and had better things to do, and then he ended up coming back in to defend himself repeatedly and it was all kind of over the top and of course he flipped scum. So really not the same thing that was happening here, but it was the same idea of being very "look at me" without a lot of content (and it may have been true that he thought he would be busy, I think he said as much after the game). I dunno, I get that same vibe here that this whole "get rid of me guys" thing is, in deference to Cena, some sort of kayfabe designed to make us think he's a babyface but deep down he's really a heel

DGK or Squiggly make the challenge today.

cheese sandwich
Feb 9, 2009

Thoughts;

Given the ratio it seems very likely DGK and at least one person on team 1 is scum, along with hal and/or squigg.

I don't have a scum read on dgk although his activity level has been pretty similar to the thread. While I was reading last night and thinking about it this morning I'm paranoid that he's been lurking it waiting for lylo. If our team was all town, then at least two of the people on team 1 are probably scum. If nobody on team 1 is scum then almost everybody else would be and that doesn't make sense

This is super dangerous territory because team 1 & team 3 both still have objections, and if either squiggly or hal are town then there's a good chance it will be game over unless scum come into the day aggressively which they really don't have any incentive to do

Reading squiggly I still feel like it's likely he is scum. I'm almost positive that his posting style is elective, it doesn't make sense that he would be the only person with a restriction or PR of some sort and it's really giving him the ability to generate a lot of noise in the place of content. I mentioned this already but I've done this in the past pretty successfully. The one thing he has going for him atm fmpov is that we know cena's read and comments about him were sincere

That team 1 still has their objection is dangerous since there's almost certainly a scum on that team. I'm worried that that's going to make the game unwinnable and I'm not sure how to organize that one in a way that doesn't require a lot of trust
