Cardamom lead the way back to the central hub. Behind him, everyone exchanged looks and whispers as he forged on oblivious. By the time they made it back, Cardamom turned around to face the group and found a hostile party awaiting him. They fell on him instantly, with no quarter given. He was mostly alive when the gurney-bot arrived to deliver him to forced cryo-storage.

I'm willing to slow down a bit and actually think this round, but I feel like it just has to be Bif at this point.

Poopacy's confirmed lookout because they called all visitors on Sandwolf correctly. Maerlyn couldn't have done it because the masonry is back online and that takes a night action. Sandwolf's mod confirmed. Infinitum lead the charge to turbo CirclMaster right out of the game.

Meanwhile Bif supposedly used a roleblock on the dead guy who claimed to be a used up JOAT, and that Bif had already stated that she believed the claim back on day 3.

Also may as well come out with it. I'm a full time Doctor. Was on Poopacy N1, Gulag N2, and then switched over to Sandwolf N3 because I figured scum would go for the confirmed townie, but they must have realized protection was around and doubled back to Gulag again.

No turbos, let poor somber rest.

I think Plastic looks the scummiest, even being watched maybe it was a ninja kill. There's a lot of evidence suggesting Plastic is scum that I can't get into right now (going to bed) but Plastic was looking likely for D1 until it flipped to IA. I'd like to go back and look at that closer. Has Plastic claimed yet?

Other than that, Bif is my second thought but I would need to reread. I'm not interested in making any hasty decisions.

Oh and town did merk dirty.

I dunno. I am not sure about turboing Bif. i am :thunk:ing real hard at Infinitum.

at this point cult can probably be safely ruled out because I think we'd be dead by now.

I know I am town (you are welcome to disbelieve me if you want)

I am willing to believe Sandwolf is town because gently caress this dumb game otherwise

Nobody has counterclaimed Plastic's doc claim, and there appears to have been a successful doc N2 that I can't account for otherwise, and his visit to Sandwolf the other night appears to have been benign. Even if he was a nonlethal scum PR I don't know why they would waste a rolecop or roleblock on modconfirmed claimed miller. I trust Plastic.

I mostly trust Maerlyn. Ecco cop is a weird role and well suited to mastermind plays. But Maerlyn did implicate CirclMastr and has had multiple apparently benign visits, and the same logic above applies to Maerlyn's Sandwolf visit.

So that leaves Bif or Infinitum. Neither one has a meaningful claim. I'm not sure I trust how much of a pass Infinitum is receiving at this late stage. I was fine assuming town early on but now that everybody has been copped it's time to reexamine things.

Bif what makes you think it's LYLO? Even if we started with 4 scum, we'd be at 4 town and 2 scum and could stall a day to force scum to narrow it down by 1.

That's the thing that gets me though, so far we've had a poisoner SK with no ninja ability mentioned. We've had a scum who did have ninja and jugg and another scum that got to take someone with em when they died but otherwise had no ability to actually maneuver around all this:

One-shot hide from Toal working like a self-doc
One-shot watch from Toal
One-shot track from Taste
One-shot cop from Taste
One-shot each of Doc/bodyguard/BP from merk
Gulag's paint thing whatever working on all corpses
Persistent RB from Sub Rosa
Sandwolf activating later as confirmed town

And that's before I even factor in my own doc and block one-shots that y'all can't verify yet. And the persistent watching. And the ecco cop. And the party host.

Whether it's one or two scum left they have got to have something absolutely bonkers.

I feel I should mention that the last Somber game I played in, I was scum who was an EccoCop. In that case there was a competing scum team to find, so I really had a genuine EccoCop ability. I don't think that can still be possible after all, to have two separate teams, but Maerlyn has been consistently pitching that idea.

Inf was definitely the one pushing the most for the turbo to happen now now NOW but, by the time he did it, Maerlyn had done the big claim and everyone had pretty much decided it just had to be Circl or Sub Rosa voted out that day.

Inf would make the most sense with normal night actions. I think there's got to be something huge we're missing though since this game is allegedly not supposed to be solvable through night actions, yet we got a LOT of night actions.

that'd be a dumb fake cop claim from me (especially when practically everyone has a cop one shot) and especially to say almost everyone checked out as NOT MAFIA. That's why we have to rely on reads/votes from the past few days.

I didn't cop Circl or Rosa before they both died, Sandwolf on N3 I did get a MAFIA result on...Sandwolf's "I'm just a miller I have no night actions" seems a little suspect, have we had any vanilla type flips at all? I know I know, mod confirmed....it just feels odd.

You dropped these seeds you're trying to plant, saying "consistently pitching" when I think I mentioned it once...I looked up cult leader yesterday after taste mentioned a cult thinking it could provide some info (I'm not familiar with some of the more out there mafia roles, I had no idea what an eccocop was etc).
Out of the remaining players (Bifauxnen, Infinitum, Maerlyn, PlasticAutomaton, Sandwolf, the holy poopacy) Sandwolf is the only one I have a MAFIA result on. If he's to be believed than someone is a godfather or also self aligned.

Between Bif, Inf, Plastic...I'm not quite sure who the last scum is (if it turns out to be Sandwolf after all gently caress this game lol).
I thought Inf had some reasonable reads earlier in the game but this last day was a big whiff, I'm not sure why he thought merk was scummy so I'd like to hear more about his thinking there.

Sorry if I've mischaracterised you, I just remember you going on about it back during the big EccoCop reveal when you had all the thread's attention, and wondering why you were banging that drum at all when there was already all that to deal with. (I also thought there was an explicit statement of there being no alignment changes this game, which made it extra eyeroll, but double-checking the OP reveals there was not.)

I do think you wouldn't just make up a claim that big. I kinda want it to be you though cause that would be the funniest explanation for why things are so nuts. I usually expect EccoCops to be more of a passive sensor kind of role rather than literally visiting every single person on their lists, so if all along you could have been doing like 5 night actions at once that'd be hilarious lol

I think merk was onto you and Plastic is right that you do seem a lot more passive in this game. If I'd been given the opportunity I would have voted for you last night as well.

If it's not you then Inf would be my second choice. I don't think we have two scum left (two godfathers seems like a stretch) but I thought Inf sounded pretty off base with the merk vote.

I feel like town is possibly in a good place, even if there are 2 scum somehow that's 4-2 with a doc and watcher. I should have fought harder that we listen to Gulag, they were dropping hints all over the place.

Yeah this will probably take a proper reread at this point, as I thought we were on a sure thing with the 3 turbos in a row.
taste was 100% my next inline pick for voting, but they've flipped town so I'm hesitant.

I'm also going to take the evening away from the game, as I'm particularly angry with regards to the current state of covid situation here in Sydney - So I don't want to bring that energy into the game atm, as I agree we're approaching endgame.

At face value I will probably circle back to this post:

the holy poopacy posted:

Maerlyn and PlasticAutomaton were both visiting Sandwolf last night.

With Merk + Taste dead that leaves the remaining third person, Bif, as the likely scum candidate in my eyes.

Again I will likely do a proper read when my heads in the game tomorrow, but that's where I'm at currently.

I sympathize with this sentiment a lot as my wife & I have been dealing with the same over here--but it's also awfully convenient to duck conversation.

pushing the turbo yesterday was pretty fishy, although it gets into WIFOM "would scum be this scummy?" territory
I don't like that you were pushing taste yesterday - their claims were not super confirmatory but they do seem to have been pro-town
still not thrilled that you came out D1 with a "soft" PGO claim that you really wanted to treat as a PGO except please don't treat it as PGO

That can't be right right, that'd be a good number if there was no SK but with an SK it seems a bit much

on the other hand I hate that Bif is simultaneously super concerned about the possibility that we are in MYLO and also pushing for us to treat it as LYLO. if Bif is the lone remaining scum then the odds on night action roulette are not looking good for her and it makes sense that she would want us to misvote townies off at all costs.

right now my feeling for scum is Bif > Infi > Maer but Bif's resistance to no-voting makes me wonder if that might not be the way to go.
