I agree tho, it does feel weird that Ras in particular stands out to me, but the best way I can describe it is that I would play that situation the exact same way as scum and Ras is very good at mafia so I'm inherently suspicious of him in a way that is sometimes tiring. Also I've been drinking a little.
Literally two posts in the game and you think I stand out, whaaa? You can't be this lazy. Although maybe that drunk.

Okay to be fair, the games where I hounded you relentlessly over the course of days, you were scum.

I can't tell if Ras is coyly trying to avoid culpability or if he's just chill and therein lies the trouble I have with Ras most games.

Because there was pretty much no content to go on in such a way that I'd stand out. I can understand if you were just meta'ing but you've got the meta framed incorrectly. When you pulled the "ras is scum" on the perceived basis of me being wrong, you were scum. You were screaming it right up until your lynch. I think you were saying it even AFTER hammer in the game I am thinking of~

That is a pretty excellent case Ernie. I'd give it four stars out of five. I think it is a case that has only ever been rivaled by cases written by the 2014 Mafia Champion, Merk.

To be fair, I've only played one game with YPM, where he was scum, and the main similarity is that he was extremely shitposty there, and seems to be doing so here as well. The read on him is more gut than anything else really.

As far as Somber, it's largely the lack of aggression that's pinging for me. I'm used to see him throw more votes around, even on day 1. Not only that, but he's using a lot of argument from meta, which seems out of character for his town game.
If you read those posts I linked earlier of Somber's scum game, he pretty much exhibited zero aggression and did nothing.

If we can't kill f_v can we get somber at least?

I think Amoeba is town because I don't see someone making this post after I straight up found the first scum based on a single post of f_v's:

Amoeba102 posted:

That post by F_v definitely stands out in their post history because I have no idea what they are talking about - not necessarily scummy. But the rest is mild, not anything to think they are scum over. They took Epsilon's joke at face value but I don't really see how that can give an alignment call. I guess I'd really like to see more from fiery.

This was post was straight in response to me.

I don't really see people definitively saying there is an SK in the game before there is any proof that there is one. Speculating there might be one, maybe (but still weird on D1) but seeming to be sure there is? I don't see that happening.
There's definitely an SK because a vig should be claiming right now. It's standard C9++ play. The only person who would have vigged f_v is me and I am not the vig. There's plenty of reasons for SK to kill f_v though, reasons that aren't worth realy discussing because who cares about the SK thought process?

The last two names here feel out of place but sure.

Amoeba seems to be soft-claiming the vigilante kill, so that seems like a waste of effort barring further information.

What do I actually need to say about Antiarrhythmia? I think the notion that her play is too scum to be scum is silly. I don't know why you would assume that FV would be coaching her when FV had a drastically reduced game presence on day one. As an aside, Antihistamine made scummy posts besides her most notable one, I just didn't bring attention to them yesterday because of the new player clause.

Hal has been picking up on the same trends that I am today. I am town, so I would presume that he is town as well. His effort seems genuine.

Antiretroviral pushed Rascyc and she's someone I would call scum without hesitation, so that's good enough for me.

##vote AntiVehicular

If I'm wrong, I would vote for ChicTrombone. There are plenty of her posts that struck me as suspicious besides her vote on Epsilon, and I've already pointed out some of the other problems with that post.
Amobea are you the vig? You should be absolutely claiming if so, not this soft claim stuff.

Also his petulant post-hammer rant was pretty scummy. If he was invested enough in the game to rant, he should have tried to be more persuasive towards the later half of the day. His case sat since early d1 and I've seen him do this trick as scum before and it's not a bad one in all honesty.

It does sound like he's setting himself up for a soft landing if we're wrong but I also hedge my vote in an earlier post. I say that I'd move towards Chic if I turned out to be wrong. I dunno if the sentiments are that different or if we're both just scummy.
ya but there's hedging and then there's trying to 'decipher' NK choices. nobody kills capps because they are afraid of him (the dude is completely random when he's not that interested), and even if it was anyone else, concluding that someone died to prevent a push the very next day is an empty read. NK choices rarely lead to reliable reads. They're not flips at all.

it's not

vig has to instant claim for the town clear. If there is only 1 NK tonight, then we know the vig claim is probably very true. If the vig is really the SK passing on the NK then we just merk Amoeba when we've dumpstered all the scum.

IIRC, the scum basically know the setup at this point 100% (this is almost always the case in the middle of d2), so role revealing basically means we out the remaining town PRs, all of the scum claim VT, and now you are left choosing from the VTs to kill while the PRs are lined up for the NKs and/or RBs if scum have them.

Man it's actually confusing because Ras voted Ernie twice without unvoting. So I look back at the original vote and keep missing the second one which isn't predicated on there being an SK.
I mentally swapped to Anti at some point, I might have forgotten the unvote when Somb and I were bouncing thoughts.
