Phantom my Opera and call me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut

PREVIOUSLY, on a very special day of "Previously On..." --- An early Hammer almost results in another awkward resolution!

Starting Items You start with a green gem.
Role-Related Passives You take half of the typical number of votes to be eliminated (rounded up). You are immune from being killed by your own ability.
Role-Related Abilities Each night (including N0), you must choose ""Up"" or ""Down."" When you choose up, you will spend the next day in the clouds but will come crashing down at the end of the day to kill the player with the second most votes. If you choose down, you will spend the next day underground but will pop up at the end of the day to kill the player with the least votes that isn't 0. Ties will be broken randomly.

Starting Items You start with a brown gem.
Role-Related Passives If you were the deciding vote (hammer) on a non-Town aligned player, you will be so psyched that you get the oneshot ability to ##execute another player as a public day action, immediately killing them. This ability recharges every time you get to hammer a non-Town aligned player.
Role-Related Abilities As a night action, you WILL track the last currently living player you have voted for, as they are the most suspicious, getting a list of all players they visit this night.

TMor and Mycelia have been eliminated.

Bad Logic: Maug
Good Logic: Nat

It is now N6. About 24 hours for night actions, please.

Not Voting (4): Bifauxnen, Hal Incandenza, Johnny Keats, Maugrim

With 4 alive, it's 3 votes to execute. The current deadline is November 22nd, 2023 at 6 p.m. CST -- that's in about 2 days, 5 hours.

I suppose I should explain. After myc flipped I've been sus on Bif as the two of them have, in masonry, been happily going along with my read that both of them were town.

All this time I've been assuming there were 5 scum total, due to misreading the OP, and everyone else in thread has seemed to be doing so too. And neither mycelia nor Bif ever pointed out this error of mine in the masonry.

And yet, during the night, Bif begins apparently earnestly doing rereads and deductions to try and determine which of Hal and Keats is the remaining scum. Which confuses me for obvious reasons, but it's now clear that she knew there was exactly one scum left and forgot that I didn't.

Sorry Bif (extra sorry if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am)

So my understanding is that it has to be Bif if Maugrim is mod-confirmed and we don't believe Hal outed his scumbud at the nightkill, which I don't believe.

I didn't think so until the game wasn't over. I thought Nat would still dodge the kills and you would be dead instead.

Well if you're scum I can't convince you, and I'm pretty worried you're scum since I still don't actually have any clue how I appeared in your list.

But if you're town, look back at when I was first suspicious of Mycelia. I'd been feeling like HCT and all his "Mycelias tracking is genuine though!!" Was what convinced me to drop it but looking back, Maugrim and Keats were the first to push back against it. (Before your list completely distracted everyone elsewhere anyway) And it can't be Maugrim.

I'd also ask you to reread the day Iggy and Nep died, which you were absent for, and read my participation versus Keats.

Reading that back the defense of Nep and Iggy sounds like a lot of white knighting. Probably biased because I strongly think you're the last scum, but just saying.

Lol sounding so obtuse again, you "don't think there's a reason"? Can't think of one at all no matter what possibilities you can imagine?

The reason is I'm town.

Even if you were scum, it still doesn't explain how I ended up in Hal's list. I think maybe he threw me in there so he could get hardbus cred while still having a chance at it just blowing me up first.

Actually, I'd ask you why you think me and Josef were both on that kill in the first place if I'm scum?

Or making that kill to begin with? As Iggy pointed out, I was aware of his role (well, only after he said so and that prompted me to go look it up, but that was early on)

I thought you appearing was just because of the bad luck poo poo that you can't talk about, and doesn't factor inti my read on either of you. Should it? Are you allowed to say something to the effect of "It's impossible for my role to have worked that way"?

Hrm that’s still vague but I haven’t seen any other explanation for why’d you show up in that list. And it’s a pretty big stretch to come up with a theory that I made up one fake result and it was on you to maybe get you killed before JS. Like you would not be on my list to fake a result on, I wouldn’t want to open up that can of worms.

And the part about not killing Iggy because you know his role isn’t really meaningful since scum definitely tried to kill Iggy and presumably knew his role.

And why didn't you even leave a vote down or anything?

I don't care if no one listens to this part, cause no one should prolly let "well if I was scum, I'd do..." arguments sway them, but just as a matter of personal pride I want to point out for posterity that I would not do something so pointless and stupid as risking exposure of (multiple!) scum visits on a kill that was mechanically meaningless.

To be frank I don’t even think you necessarily visited the kill, and that’s not where my suspicion comes from.

It’s how you immediately reacted and aggressively tried to paint me as scum trying to fake a result on you, as opposed to going with the thought there was another action confusing the results. Going after me seems like a page out of the scum bif playbook.

I’ll go back and reread the Nep/Iggy day when I get back home though. You’ve perhaps created a sliver of doubt in my mind

I did think there could easily be another action confusing the results, but as more and more people flip I see less and less how it could have happened.

At the time, your piecemeal revealing sure didn't help my opinion of you either.

I'm staying firmly out of voting though until I've reviewed everything and found myself still alive. I'm not at all confident in one of you over the other.

To rule out one paranoid avenue, I've finished looking properly through Keats' other games. I couldn't find something else that would've sneakily still allowed him to "challenge" anyone. That had always bothered me how his "welp I'm confirmed now" deal afterwards felt a bit performative, but if it's true he'd want to establish that too.

For me it's just process of elimination based on whether or not I believe the Hal/Josef thing was a bus. If it wasn't, Bif has to be scum by process of elimination.

I started writing this post intending to be like "there's no way it was a bus" but now I'm 2nd guessing it lol

Josef had already been outed as a votebomb, so scum would have already had no way of benefiting from that.

But no, because if they had just waited one day and killed TM first, then that wouldn't have mattered. Unless they just thought a vig would kill him? Ugh

This was your first post after game open, Hal. What did you mean by this? Was it a joke I don't get? Trying to just keep scum off your tail from knowing you had something useful?

My role was and is not all that useful though! As I’ve said, it was (like many roles in this game) much more interesting as a scum role and in the context of the game it came from. Here it translated into town godfather with a chance at an (admittedly cool) one-shot power that I had to openly campaign for in the thread leaving me open to being blocked/murdered.

Was it the worst role possible? No, but out of the 600+ roles I had to draw from it probably wasn’t the most inspired choice.
