2. I have yet to hear back from dor about my polite inquiry of why they claimed that mycelia must be a sea lion

I just immediately pictured the cartoon of a sea lion balancing a ball on its nose and clapping its fins, which seals cannot do.

frankly i feel like yuming and iggy's claims are more likely to hamstring town than actually beat scum so I'd rather they be real loving conservative about it unless they actually think their target might be scum

also reminder that you can earn a fish by posting a fish that nobody else has thought of in your confessional. that is more town fish than scum fish, which i assume matters in some way.

looking at the posting of yuming and iggy,
yuming seems like she is acting on the side of town, being thorough with share of information, and so forth
iggy seems like he is being secretive, dodgy, i wouldn't be surprised if hes a 3-p if not scum with that alternative fish collection implication, can kill lurkers which directly threatens me a known low poster. ##vote iggy

Yeah I only explained more because of yuming's situation and more info becoming important to creating a cohesive alliance that should resolve Spork's problem with her power not murdering scum immediately.

Do you have a serious problem with the proposal I made that she only ever target the poster with the least posts for the day and then I keep my power for if/when someone she targets lives through her end of things?

I have proposed a plan whereby only the person with the least posts for the day gets killed and I don't mind withholding so as to be ready to keep my side of the bargain going. How is that being secretive and dodgy? For that matter, wanna address the plan at all or would you rather live in the universe where I said "wa wa wa wa wa" at that part?

It feels weird that you're setting up a dichotomy between them when they haven't really been fighting and they are my two most solid town reads.

Iggy's been getting better at scum but not "three times as many posts as anyone else" better I don't think, unless he's found some way to mentally trick himself into not caring if he dies.

Not for killing hard lurkers but yes blindly murking the bottom poster each day is more likely to harm town than help it.

Yes the scum team can yell at each other to post so they don't get vigged, but then those posts can be used to make cases, plus the game is more active and fun

Yep. They have to choose between risking my and yuming's fire and making more posts that might get them booted anyway.

The bottom poster in question, if they're town, can also help themselves by just realizing that they're the bottom poster and either posting more or setting down a last reads testament before they perish. Scum will inevitably scramble hard if they're forced to by town playing smart about this and there's a solid chance they get caught on it. I'd be fine dying to a blind shot if it meant scum couldn't escape the casing net the next day.

i don't think by any means that we have to vote one or the other of them today. im voting iggy right now, because I think he's scum.
it made sense, in my mind, to compare the two, because they both have claimed a killing ability.

also if i were iggy id be insulted by this, i believe in him more than that.

I can't target just anybody and yuming didn't want to shoot at all. The absolute next best thing you can do with vigs besides kill scum directly is not holstering, but to keep the pressure on them by erasing their floor faster than they can erase town's ceiling.

That can be analyzed a lot better than no posts at all and is way, way harder to fake as scum than town. Scum win easiest by blending into the bushes. This proposal scuttles that idea.

You have 3 scum reads, one of them dies by rising lava and flips town after another scrambled hard at deadline to avoid the lava. Are you going to sit there and tell me that that means nothing at all and the person who didn't react to the lava is still equally suspicious to the player who panicked?

The wifom is literally every case is "i wanted to keep playing the game and not get shot for no reason". This is a bad plan.

Iggy proposing a strategy where he and yuming target the lowest post count player and get them executed every day, regardless of any reads on that player is not town Iggy.

Making up things about low effort town players and lava rising does not change this simple point.

Maybe the plan can be out there encouraging people to post and then yuming can decide if she actually acts on it or not on a given night.
