I started a post and forgot it on my PC (incoming) but Somber pinging me. I'm willing to hold off there though for now (I can see IA and Somb as scum perhaps).

OK let me see if I can make sense of this IA kerfuffle:

Binus puts down a weird vote because Solus didn't high post like he said he would, Squiggley laughs, binus overreacts and votes Squiggley. IA and Merk hop on the Squiggley vote, Toal puts up a faint defense:

Toalpaz posted:

Isn't this a little hasty, turboing squiggles for a scum slip?


Which I respond to - laughing at a vote for not high posting seems natural, binus just bites hard on nothing.

I say I'm not joining a "gotcha" vote, Toal responds:

Toalpaz posted:

I agree with this, but I will reluctantly vote for Squiggles if Bif does.

IA's gently caress up post (he seems like he means Solus but Toal is talking about Squiggles):

Idle Amalgam posted:

##unvote
##vote toal

Too easy.

You don't have a real opinion on this. You say it's bad, but put your faith in another player's vote as a way of escaping culpability.

I dont want to turbo squiggles because he failed to get high and post or he got so high he didn't post, I do want to look at people who look artificial about committing to a jokephase vote.

Maerlyn seems genuine with their interpretation, but toal is a vet and that hemming and hawing seems fabricated.

In retrospect now looks like a light bus? I didn't realize IA was speaking about the wrong player but I agreed with his point about Toal.

Somber comes in and looks like he's trying to help IA pull up:

Somberbrero posted:

I'm gonna say you champing at the bit to get started is a town thing, but this feels overstated

Idle Amalgam posted:

Lol I thought we were voting solus for failing to get high and post. I just now realized I voted squiggly and not solus in that test. Hence mentioning the whole not getting high or getting too high bit in the vote on toal.

I've confused myself.

##vote IA

Maybe I AM the one that is too high.

Somberbrero posted:

I thought that was confusing but, get this, I was high too, so I thought I was just mistaken and didn't take the time to read back through.

IA voting himself when he feels caught is something I've seen him do as scum before, it's not a guarantee though but his argument that Toal is not scum because they were blocked does not make sense.

Toal and IA feel scummy and I'd like to see one of them flip...part of me thinks IA is scum who got too close to being voted out early and Somber had to come in for the save, but I'm not as certain of that.

That's where I'm at as well. I don't understand where this IA and I thing is going and I'm thinking it's fake content.

I think merk should be held accountable for ending the day early. I like the RF case for similar reasons. I would flip either before voting Maerlyn right now.

Are you going to address the claim? The claim that was good enough for you to swap votes from IA to solus, putting solus in the lead, a swap you later decried, and especially considering IA is claiming that toalp was roleblocked?

It’s a lot of entanglement for two vote leaders on day 1 to then entangle themselves up in a role claim and results if both are scum. It might be possible, but I’d be more willing to bet that both wouldn’t be scum and if it’s just one probably IA. If it was a scum roleblock then IA could do it or know the other person that did it and use it to verify his day 1 claim.

gently caress I think I just made myself want to look at IA again.

I had a case on toal that was supposed to be a gimmicky day 1 'aha!' trap, but genuinely got squiggly and solus confused, I never had any real suspicion of solus, I simply thought we were fake voting solus because he failed to post after getting too high. Something I felt like we silently agreed was bait, only we never silently agreed to anything because my own high eyes mistook the vote on squiggly for solus.

The case you agreed with was mine against toal.

I might need to look with a clearer brain, I really doubted your role claim last night but I think I read it wrong. I still don't think that Toal being blocked doesn't make them scum though.

I haven't perceived anyone defending RF and Merk's votes from yesterday, I think we can all agree those were pretty bad yeah? I would like commentary from Maerlyn and plastic in particular on that point.

I wish I could add more. I'm pretty certain about my reads and who to trust moving forward. :words:

Power roles are supposed to be fairly limited so I guess there is a question on whether we would get a watcher and rb and they'd both interact with the same person.

Given we had:

Doctor, Cop, and Vig all die? In a 13 player game. And that they're all normal roles as far as I know, not this role that lets IA claim without pointing fingers at players.

Cop was the night 0 mod-death. You're making some assumptions using a role that presumably was accounted for in some other way given the mod, killed the cop night 0.

Is the inclusion of the moderator flavor death a slip on your part or more town oriented or scum oriented though? I'm inclined to think town, and I trust my result thus far.

if scummers had a role block AND a kill why wouldn't they burn one on you.

you claimed b4 night phase, even if they really wanted to kill b-, why wouldn't they just rb you and kill b- because you claimed town power role?

Again, luckily for town, I'm not scum. I'd not have made such a harebrained move and would definitely have blocked me, UNLESS they picked up a better target in thread or believed action against me could somehow be revealed given that I had claimed.

Why don't you tell me why you think RF and Merk's votes were bad? Both feel like deadline "put a vote down" type votes, Merk didn't realize he was the hammer if you believe him. I have no reason to think he's lying at this point, he hasn't been enough of a presence to tell one way or the other yet and RF is hard for me to read.

##vote Voodoofly because:
  • Attempts to either distance himself from the IA elimination (IA town) or prop up an alternative candidate knowing IA has a good claim coming (IA scum buddy) with a Solus vote. Note: I'm leaning the former. This looks like scum wanting to distance himself from a town flip.1
  • States that Maerlyn was the "lynchpin" of the shift from IA to Solus to implicate her, but Voodoo was actually the first vote on Solus. This deflects from Voodoo's involvement in the vote at all.2
  • Tone feels off.3
  • He's opening some doors to vote Solus on d1 and then Maerlyn on d2, and he waits and waits and waits until making the vote. You can see his Maerlyn vote coming today. There's no persuasion in what he's doing. There's just groundwork being laid for a justifiable vote.4

##vote solus

I still think the IA defense felt forced, but toalp also said they were suspect of maer and RF. They also asked you who you thought was scum when you just had a town read on IA, so coming back to vote them for “having only town reads” without even acknowledging that feels like you are just looking for a person to vote.

I agree with Somberbrero that eliminating Toal today doesn't make a whole lot of sense, even if there is a decent case out there.
