Obama is a lot quieter than I expected or am used to him being which is concerning. He did say he tried to roleblock merk both nights (with sage) but my mason creation N1 stopped it and Voodoo's spice cop stopped him N2.

I'm not really buying the arguments that he's scum but effort seems to be lacking, or he's still dealing with personal poo poo? I would rather vote Tobbs or merk over Obama. I'm not sure why people seem to be ignoring Tobbs who Bif seemed to treat with kid gloves even though he called her scum (barely). Meen made a case on Bif and she uses that to suss him back, but Tobbs calls her scum lightly and it's just a part of some back and forth banter:

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

Yup it's a callout but I'm not super interested in pushing it since last time you were scum and I was town I got dunked D1. I'll just try to cook up something dastardly to deal with you at night if I still think you're scum.

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

When I said if you talk about your chill meta you're scum.

Admit it, you were going to but now you can't.

It feels very fake especially considering how Bif approaches other people like Akay or Meen.

Last night I tried to give Minifauxnen a chemistry lesson!



She thought the bubbles were cool, but was more interested in juicing my backup limes so she could just chug the straight-up lime juice. The kid likes sour stuff, what can I say.



Once I melted down the cheese, it made a nice sauce to have with broccoli. But we also had to have some corn chips with it too.

Tonight it was time to make something herbaceous, so I tossed a bunch of dill and thyme on some potato wedges, with a little olive oil to coat.



Mixed it all up and threw em in the air fryer. Usually I'll make these with garlic powder instead, but it was a nice change of pace.

There's no real heat behind anything with Bif, it reminds me of you and Grandi in Isekai where you threatened each other the entire game (as scum buddies if others aren't aware). Bif didn't seem to consider you a credible threat as opposed to Meen. You don't feel like you're scumhunting, you're just calling people scum. I think it's scum Tobbs behavior but it's my first time seeing it from the other side so it's harder to put my finger on. I also find it strange that you're consistently calling me scum but haven't voted me, you're really gonna leave scum alive and wait for them to try to NK you to kill themselves? I don't buy it.

We really need some more people commenting here...would like to hear from GGN and Chic about anything.

merk posted:

I think beet touched on it earlier but these two posts in particular interest me:

merk posted:

I don't understand the Chic case.
I strongly believe the Akay case is eliminating town. That is a strong gut read.

merk posted:

My Akay read was based on low effort d1 lurker eliminations almost always hitting town. If I said something else, I misstated.

A strong gut read on Akay which you walk back on, I'm not used to you saying you "misstated", like with your case on Shell you stood by it even being wrong...just seems hedgy. Beet comments on it too:

hambeet posted:

what has piqued my interest on a re-read is how you had a 'strong' feeling akay was town, when they'd not posted much game content by that stage.

The read on Bif after she was already going down really looks like you felt like you had to throw your opinion on it to give yourself some townie cred. Not too keen on the "gently caress you got mine" style vote after you posted your cooking but that's a merk thing, not strictly scum...Tobbs and OA both did the same though (Tobbs specifically said let's just move on and hammered). There's no incentive for scum to keep the day going and let town buy spices but thankfully Grandi left the day open for a bit.

merk posted:

##vote Obama

Not scum hunting.

Came in today to try to get in front of the issue of me saying he's scum by instead saying I'm scum. His justification for voting me takes into account absolutely nothing about the context of my Shell case. For example, Akay was likely going to be the elimination when I cased Shell. Akay flipped town. If I'm scum, what the hell was I doing?

Getting a good town player eliminated? Shell wasn't going to go down without an NK so why not make a case against her and see if it works? You know Shell well enough as a town player to know she is smart, getting her eliminated on a case you can defend as scum is a good move.

I'm not voting you, Maerlyn, because so long as you're alive I'm immune to any negative effects from night actions. If you're scum and we're the last two players alive, town wins if you try to kill me and it's a draw if you don't.

I told Hal/OA all the investigative spices but I think that info is known now (beet didn't specifically say but I assume salt is watcher spice). Scum can certainly roleblock too but they can't roleblock everyone.

None of the spices in OA's rolecop were anything overly scummy - Voodoo did you see any blends in your spice cop or just individual, the way you listed it in thread?

Blatantly false. I’ve thought merk was scum since he got shell lunched D1. I know it’s his meta to aggressively push town eliminations. I even tried to roleblock him two nights in a row.

I'm not unvoting Obama.
Mae has already pretty much said what I was thinking regarding merks motivations for getting shell lunched.

Merk’s case against me basically hinges on 2 things:
- that he believes I’ve been low effort this game/not scumhunting
- that he doesn’t like my justification for voting him

The first point could be applied to more than one person in this game easily. So what does that leave us with?

As far as other posters go hambeet is giving me very strong Town vibes. Mae I’m leaning Town as well, she has shared a lot of information in the masonry and I just don’t see scum opening a masonry to share information mostly one way with two Town players.

I’d like to hear what hal thinks of me and merk. I’m slightly suspicious of him

I’m leaning Town on tobbs as well I think.

I see no reason to hide any results so last night I had two actions. A cayenne pepper masonry that I used on voodoo and merk

I also had a spice blend that was basically a watcher-cop and I used it on merk

My masonry ended up being voodoo and meen so I suspect meen and merk were swapped

My watch-cop came back town and visited by Opop

Pretty sure those results would be on meen, and while there are a lot of unknowns my first takeaway is Opop swapped meen and merk to cover for his scumbuddy

Hal is probably last person I would vote. I'm pretty sure he masoned me last night (could have been meen I suppose) but coupled with the track info I don't think they are scum.

Maer, can you summarize your case on merk. Reading it over it seems to be making a case on shell, but even then you posted that before akay flips, and you really haven't addressed why merk would go out of his way to move the vote from a lurking town to the most active posting town.

Questionable *herby* Quesadilla:



I tried to follow a recipe for quesadilla seasoning I found online but couldn't find a few things (onion powder, forgot oregano and pepper I think). Sometimes experimental poo poo just works out!

Melt some butter, added small amounts of cumin, paprika, chili pepper flakes, garlic salt instead of just salt, I don't remember the rest or maybe that was all? I tested the mixture and it seemed okay.





Apply butter to pan and add tortilla, let cheese start to melt then flip



Looks nice and crunchy, feeling better about this:

Mae:

Since D1 I've leaned more town for mae's alignment. Starting from here:

Maerlyn posted:

What is bad about trying to get points?

Mae's gut reaction was good even if it the original post from ham turned out to just be some mafia dad gotcha opportunity. (As an aside, this makes me lean town for ham too, but maybe I'm biased)

(Not providing quotes here) Mae also does a lot of calling out of lurking players in a way that doesn't feel like scum trying to set up for an easy low content dunk to keep town confused. I also like the merk case, and I think it comes from a genuine town place.

Merk:

I was going to post a big thing about merk being scum here but honestly the bif case post cop feels like town merk 100%. The obama case is solid imo and as much as I hate it I do think merk has a good eye for casing scum, especially when working with as few posts as OA has.

Time to reread OA, but I don't disagree with anything merk is saying (except maybe the confidence in ham being OA's scumbuddy?)

I'll vote her if that's who it comes to at deadline, but I'm not going to push her because I consider her handled so long as I'm alive. I don't think there are more than 3 scum though so if another scum flips then yeah, I'll be pushing Maer.

As for OA it's the lack of voting + dropping in after the dunk to casually comment that looks scummy. I've seen it from a lot of scum.

CT at least was voting early on and actually pushed me for a bit. I'll have to re-read GGN to see if she's basically the same as OA or not.

It also doesn't help that my other scum pick (Maerlyn) has such a strong town read on OA despite the points I've brought up.
