I'm a big fan of how this just entirely ignores day 2 and is mostly based on setup/mod spec at LYLO too.

While mentioning bif's d2 merk interactions.

:thunk:

It is entirely based on day 2. You saw merk got caught in a gambit so decided to get in front of it. It’s a super common scum strategy. I’ve done it many times. Hell last time I did it with steak merk caught on to it because it’s so obvious and luckily we killed merk before he could convince the rest of town on it.

Also toalp catching you talking about who did what night kills was day 2.

So let’s be clear. I think you are scum 100% based on how you approached merk on day 2 and on how much you are leaning on a doctor claim to clear you.

I love that your defense is that scum never bus, especially in a situation where their scum mate was caught through night actions, and that a jailor precludes a scum doctor.

Also that you protected maer but scum must have a jug and Toal, the towniest person in the game, also died.

Yeah okay you're scum.

My defense is that I deliberately kept the vote on merk when there was an actual viable alternative (imo) on bif.

Also if you thought about things for more than 2 seconds you'd realize I could literally claim to have docced anybody else instead N3.

the night berfore hammer, whilst on the turps, i had a gut feel on deadmeet and was tossing up sk between bif, yourself and voodoofly. i posted about my feel on deadmeet actually.

but when i woke i wasn't sure anymore. i could have voted either way yesterday and was ultimately swayed by toalpaz very easily because i was not confident in my own reads. this is not me blaming toalpaz, mind you, i have only myself to blame.

like i have a lot of odd feelings about a lot of people, like the you effectively knowing bif's alignment from the get go, but you're an uncountered doc and your claims thus far make sense. but i have trouble moving on from that.

so i think about bif, who i've flipped my feelings on once already, but was thinking yesterday 'they probably could be SK' but let's go with meen who's play to date wasn't looking crash hot.

voodoofly i don't have a great read on and tbh, when people substitute in it really throws me. i had no read on tommu early game.


so the only person i feel good about atm is you, yami.

so i'm left with bif, deadmeet and voodoofly to go with.

i'd probably vote deadmeet 1st, bif 2nd, voodoofly 3rd.

I like this a lot post actually. Anyway yeah I buddy up with bif probably a bit more than is healthy but the reason I mostly trust Bif right now is actually the N2 track - Bif went nowhere on a night where we know a) Merk used a busdrive and b) b- presumably jailed someone (likely meen). So if bif were a baddie, they would have been a killer on either the scum OR the SK side, but they did not kill.

I personally am leaning Voodoo a lot more right now, the points of suspicion he raised earlier are loving terrible (like I said, most of them are mod/setup spec) and voodoo is leaning into the replacement excuse way too hard. I didn't like their play the previous day either, and let's not forget they immediately went for soft defense on merk d2 too.

While now accusing me of bussing when I did my level best to ensure it doesn't hit an alternate lunch. It stinks.

No seriously, literally why would I have claimed to have docced Maer N3?

When I could have just claimed to have docced Toal N3 instead? And thus entirely avoid the point of suspicion around doccing a person that died anyway.

Oh right right right, sorry, you roll out the whole steamroller juggernaut routine to crush everything into the ground over one person voting you at the very start of D2, when there wasn't much else to go on or look at yet, but you always make sure to keep up your infuriating tone of playing it like you're too cool and above everything rather than sounding 'pissy', please excuse me.

It's a lot more relevant with the scum jailor being dead now.

Also, having a second kill go through would literally lose town the game as nontown be equal to town. So I'm fairly sure I stopped a kill last night.

Yami I totally agree that Voodoo has been making weird wrong pushes too long for his replacing in to still serve as an excuse. But "only one kill doesn't mean you stopped it" isn't one of them. Toal was pretty much confirmed town so I could totally see both SK and scum deciding they didn't want to get stuck in LYLO with them.

i didn't juggernaut or steam roll anything? i highlighted in two posts what was wrong with what you were saying, and then i had bants and jokes from then on. this is not 6 years ago of loudest voice wins.

idc if you want to reflect on it today in your voting decision, i just feel the need to correct the record when you say i got pissy, when it was you who went tunnel vision because i had the audacity to call out the bad case you were making.

Reread beet I don’t think they are scum. Maybe SK it would probably be between beet and meat if I had to choose but I really think yami is scum here and is laying it on way too hard about how the doctor claim is definitive and that voting merk can’t be a bus.

Hell squids just ended with sand winning on a major bus. I’ve rode a bus like what happened with merk many times.

Meen also thought yami was scum. Meat already voted yami once today so I guess I don’t see how I’m not thinking things through and how I’m just pushing for no reason.

Yeah yami doesn’t say a thing about merk or minus day 1. Day 2 starts with throwing shade on toalp and “if I was a mod I don’t put an SK into a 15 player game”.

It’s not until toalp has openly said how merk got bus driven than yami then starts to push on merk.

Oh I don't mean to push Voodoo over that. I am just, personally, sure that I stopped the kill.

What I do find suspicious about Voodoo there is that the missing kill doesn't seem to make them pause at all. I feel like town would be far more hesitant (like, you know, both you and beet are being right now). I think Voodoo's overextending here trying to get a protective role out.

Brief was not the right word.

They clearly read my case! But then never commented on any of it. No, instead they're soft defending merk! Hell, Sandwolf even pointed it out way back.

Voodoofly posted:

I don't see merk not being voted today, but why is merk doing this if he is scum? Toalp is saying scum will die. I can see scum taking the that toalp was bluffing, but if so I'm not going to then use a busdriver to mess with the results. It feels like it outs way too much information too early in the game for no real upside.

Voodoofly posted:

Sure, that is possible. But:

1. I don't think of merk as a night action gambit scum player, especially on day 1.
2. That would mean you were willing to run a gambit like that as a cop on day 1, which seems risky, so I'm not sure I would assume it was some sort of investigation.
3. If I'm scum night 1 I'm using the busdriver to help hide whoever is doing the kill. If I'm doing the kill I don't offer myself up to the gambit.
4. Merk is a pretty common night target, so

well, number 4 actually isn't a bad idea to use the busdriver on merk out of general caution.

Still feel like it's a bit of stretch, but I need to read him again now after that last part.

Voodoofly posted:

Feels somewhat pointless to answer this but, yes? I don't think merk would run a gambit like that as scum. I think of merk as keeping it simple and playing the odds. no need to bus or make wild plays when you can just lay on your numbers, and considering it didn't look like he had any heat on day 1 why try to make a big move if it isn't necessary?

Some crazy third party claim, though, that makes a bit more sense.

But then eventually vote them anyway, but only after Merk claimed 3P.

Voodoofly posted:

Ok yeah I'll vote merk.

He is -1 if anyone wants to talk.

Voodoofly posted:

Honestly the only thing I’m wondering is if it’s better to execute bif on the off chance that hum is an executioner and maybe leaves the game for fulfilling a win condition. It’s like a two for one execution.

But that would require this all to be true and probably for hum to have volunteered the info because bringing it up now is probably too late

Voodoofly posted:

I don’t know. Nothing about her feels scummy so far. I hadn’t read her closely yesterday before merk claimed as I was just starting my read of merk at the time. Also nothing about her posts today pinged me.

I’d normally say I thinks it’s uncommon for two scum to be leading votes on d1 or d2, especially with a full scum team to defend them, but last game I was in had sand and Hal as voteleaders day 2 and I’ve already been stupidly wrong assuming logical play on scum this game.

Voodoofly posted:

Giving the town more executions is super powerful. If we have questions about more than one player why waste two days?

Voodoofly posted:

I don't think bif is scum.

Even if toalp is right that hum is scum and bif is an sk, I actually think I'd rather have one extra shot to kill scum tonight and/or have scum take out bif to protect themselves.

So if was suggesting executing bif I would have voted bif. I brought it up because bif (or someone) was asking about whether we want to keep a third party executioner alive and I said no. I then said the only thing that might make sense is if executing bif meant hum left the game but that would need a lot of things assumptions to ring true and with hum already caught in a lie it was probably impossible to ever trust that would work even if hum tried to admit it after.
