Hell yes. And when voodoo went down he probably said 'you shoulda played better' but I'd wait for the flavour claim to make definitive statements.

I’d vote Sandwolf. That’s better than a no elimination. However, if I’m around at sun up, I’m 99.999999% slamming a Toal vote.

Toal you better come for me now if you want to win.

##unvote

the other scum flipped with 'HUNT EPITHELIAL CELLS' and plastic flipped a non gut/non other scum target.

So the last living scum killed their target.

they killed this guy, and not town watcher, because they gained a boon out of it. THey knew plastic was epithelial cells

they knew because they had a ROLE COP

if they had a ROLE COP it cant be me because SCUM BLOCKED ME

How do you know what scum needs unless:

You are scum
You are the rolecop
Again, scum roleblocker does not come out on D2 and say "I blocked this person therefore they are town".

Mae, you can see the dead scum? There's a pattern there, in their flips. Also IA lied and tried to use his roleblock to validate his role, catching himself. It was to support his own fake claim.

Toalpaz posted:

IA had a ninja on his team, and even though he had a ninja he claimed voyeur.

That means his only threats are the all but confirmed town watcher or tracker.

Because he's up for elimination d1, he knows his greatest threat is a tracker or cop. In order to maintain his cover of a pro-town visitor role he has to use his Role block. He picks someone unlikely to be protected or watched - enter toalpaz. Now he may be tracked to toalpaz, giving him the benefit of doubt. Because scum team won't wanna role block each other I'm town.

I strongly think that last scum is a flavour cop given that scum are hunting townies. But I don't know for sure.

I need to read in earnest.

Merk believes there is a role cop, but now that it is inconvenient, has stopped thinking like that. I wonder why?

Merk, 'kill third paries' Merk, is going to let a big scum read of his, Sandwolf walk today after. Cause he wants to keep him in the game and vote Toal/RF inexplicably.

And also, sandwolf's cell is hardly a cell in the flavour. It's like an organ made up of my cells.

That's a counter claim.

Mae, please entertain voting the survivor. I'm not flailing here with this, these are things we know:

Roles and Players:

  • b-minus1 - Squamous Epithelial Cells Vanilla Town
  • Bifauxnen (surprise me) - T-Cells Empowerer
  • Idle Amalgam - Salmonella Roleblocker (Kill Gut)
  • Maerlyn (she/her) Something Watcher
  • merk (he/him) Nerve Cell VT claim
  • PlasticAutomaton (He/Him/Whatever) - Alveoli Epithelial Cells Vanilla Town
  • Retro Futurist (He/him/opop) - Urogenital Epithelial VT
  • Sandwolf (He/Him) - Mengine Cells (it's a fibrous brain cushion made up of fibroblasts)
  • SolusLunes - B-Cells Doctor
  • Somberbrero (He/him) - Gut Epithelial VT
  • Squiggly - Macrophages Vigilante
  • Toalpaz (THEY THEM) - Fibroblasts Vanilla Town
  • Voodoofly (He/Him/Whatever) - Scum Chlamydia Ninja (Kill Eurogenital)

So we have all the claims and flips here. What are the key important patterns we notice:





We can see here that scum have these town called Epithelial Cells they have to kill. We can safely assume they're town because Plastic and B- both flipped as Epithelial cells, and these scum are out to kill other ones!

Because we have 4 claimed Epithelial cells, 2 flipped town and 2 flipped as scum targets. It's safe to say that there are four scum to target them.

Wouldn't you say that's the case? I don't need to be scum to make these guesses. In fact, these guesses reveal confirmed town!

If you're town mae, and you see that there are 2 scum in the game.

There are 2 confirmed town on one side of the vote, and 2 players that had scum reads on each other (merk had a scum read start of day of sandwolf). Where are the remaining scum then?

They are on your side of the vote.

Ok so my watch actions:

N1 IA (no visitors) Squiggles dies
N2 Plastic (no visitors) Bif dies
N3 Merk (no visitors) Plastic dies

If scum rolecopped Plastic it would have been on N1... You know, the night IA claimed that he RBed Toal and Toal was town.

So looking back at D2 these posts about Plastic make more sense coming from Voodoo (known scum) and Toal if Toal is the scum rolecop. Toal found their target and killed him N3. If it's not Toal it's merk by process of elimination isn't it? RF and Somber were targeted cells, Sandwolf is 3P if he's being honest. I don't believe merk is scum. I'm not scum.

Toalpaz posted:

Other than plastic do you have reads? I'm kinda null on plastic but mostly because scum or town he's pretty aggro on me every game so it's confusing.

Sometimes when he's scum he isn't aggro, so I lean town here.

Id rather not vote plastic. If nothing else plastic at least was able to read my posts and see I voted solus after toalp started getting votes. I think their vote on toalp day 1 and me today was wrong but not necessarily scummy.
