1. She's an opop/defender but doesn't get cased D2.

She voted WM before the scumslip and never budged. This is all fine, there were legit reasons to vote WM D1.She spent a good chunk of time D1 arguing with diqnol about his dismissal of WM and doing a light defense of Opop. Here's her final post on the topic:


Of the D1 WM voters, how the hell does she appear to have gotten a free pass D2!? OK, a big part is that town hero diqnol suspected rarity/myself in his will. But even Max, who diqnol pegs as town, has received more pushback over his D1 play than FV. She's slipped totally under the radar of the "WM push was a scum distraction" faction, which was the majority faction D2 and that seems super odd. And yes, D2 is long and super painful for me to read. If I am missing someone who threw suspicion on her, please show me.

In summary: FV was a straight D1 WM vote/Opop defender. She argued newbie scum stuff with Rarity against Diqnol. She was more convinced of WM over Opop than Max and I were. Yet she took less heat than all three of us. Why?

Here's why I'm giving her some slack; I think wall's scum. I don't see a scumbro pushing a case onto another scum to save Opop, which is a large part of why I'm looking at wall as scum. Because wall pushed f_v. I think what happened D1 is that Opop scumslipped and independently wall as scum made some crucial bad posts around f_v. So when Rarity forced Opop to make a vote, the only vote he could make was wall. He didn't want to vote wall, but had to because there's no reason for him not to in that situation except to vote a scumbro.

The other two points you make are good.

VivaNova posted:

Now then. I would like someone to tell me why Exakt shouldn't be killed today.

Because wall is worse. Right now, I have wall, EXAKT, and then DHD/you in a tie for third for my top three scum. Based on that list, the only reason I'm not voting EXAKT is because wall exists.

Also same question for Pig.

I like his call D1 on Opop and wall, and his votes suggest his head's in the right place instead of firmly up his rear end like usually (j/k, CPig, ya know I love ya!), so I'm leaning lurking town Pig right now.

fiery_valkyrie posted:

Yep. Based on the flip I moved my suspicion of WM down my list. Opop parked his vote on WM and peaced out and WM was the only other potential lynch. I think it was more likely that WM wasn't his teammate, than that it was a bus. Why risk another scum teammate getting lynched when you've been caught on a scum slip?

Because Rarity specifically pressured Opop to make that vote, which he did before he basically peaced out. He did not make that vote, he was forced to.

I'm not lovers with anyone and I probably shouldn't be anywhere near LYLO, so now's the best time to misdunk me if you're going to.

There is never a good time to mislynch town. You can't even claim you're protecting power roles by being sacrificial, you're just straight-up playing the "for the good of the town" card.

"Seemingly at random" would have been a better choice of words there. Obviously my and CPig's play styles are completely different - I am inherently distrustful of people who vote without explanation why they're doing so.

In that vein:

That's a bit misleading considering the game hasn't been open for D3 that long and most of that was a workday.

HAVE AT ME

There's a whole lot of people who I'm finding myself distrustful of at the moment. If it was truly down to WM vs. EXAKT I think WM is a better target - his response to be threatened with a vig was to sit back whereas I feel like town would have engaged - but I also feel like there are people that haven't weighed in yet who probably should.

When I say I "want people to weigh in first" I want to be clear - my goal is to encourage people to :justpost:, not to delay the vig.

Thinking about it more critically - EXAKT is probably the best vig target. I feel that a lot of my reads on this game would be strengthened or weakened by knowing his alignment, and I like that it would force certain people (CPig and WM off the top of my head) to produce new cases.

That's fair, I just don't think the vig should be held because people aren't posting about it.

Scum can use them to develop cases on town players that other town are likely to follow to drive mislynches. At the same time, developing LumpenLists are easy and thus they're easy to fake. There was a game run by Lumpen to prove that LumpenLists were valuable; scum rolled town in it, perfect victory, by doing exactly what everyone's always told Lumpen scum would do with LumpenLists.

They're not just hated because they're Lumpens, they're hated because their a tool that looks town-y but is insanely weighted towards helping scum.

I don't agree with your opinion that Opop was forced to place a vote. He was barely engaging in the thread anyway and I think it would have been very easy for him to ignore Rarity's push to vote WM. I might be wrong, but my opinion at the time was that it was a vote on a non-team buddy rather than a bus.

I also don't agree with your opinion on DHD. Read his D1 again. He was on the Opop case early and argued rationally with people who were disagreeing with it.

Looking back at this from yesterday right before the switch to Rarity when there were three targets with about equal votes, two of the votes on Exact have now flipped town, and the only one that moved off was Rarity self hammering. Exact and Max moved off Viva onto Rarity, and Exact was a target up to that point. I don't see Viva being scum on this vote unless it is with Exact or Max. I am going to reread those two.

Sorry I'm just very excited to play mafia! :sun:

I forgot about this, and it bothered me at the time. Exact was distancing from the case on Opop really early and then asking for people to case others when that was basically the only substantive thing going on, and then immediately backed off with this and the "scum sun" when I mentioned something.

That said, Exact is pushing Viva pretty hard and I don't see it as a bus. I don't think there is a connection there.

You don't get what WM is doing so you'd pick me?

Exact gave me three names to post reactions to who had been defending Opop a bit (omitting f_v, for some reason), and Max had a pretty strong reaction to it here when I hadn't even made a vote or said I was going to vote him. He also stayed well away from taking much of a stance on the Opop vote.

Max pushed Viva a bit D2 but ostensibly cooled on it today. I don't think it is Viva, but if it is I could see her being teammates with Max here, especially the way that D2 vote went down.
