Hi. I had thought that Asiina was town d1, but that I would watch her more closely d2. I didn't understand merk's logic of not revealing his role and just saying "I have the ability to know unequivocally that you are scum," because saying that at all means he's gonna be the target for the NK anyway. It seemed like a gambit to me that would lead to a chain lynch when asiina flipped town.

I thought you were talking about a potential Asiina flips scum -> Vimes vote instead of Asiina flips town -> Merk vote.

To be clear, did you think it was a gambit because of how merk claimed or because you thought Asiina was town?

I don't even know where to begin now, thought I had the game wrapped up yesterday. I have some thinking to do because I thought I had the scum team picked out and felt pretty good about everyone else.

So of all the other players around I think SamVimes has the worst-looking record with flipped scum Asiina. Voted TIMM, apparently wasn't around for the Asiina discussion but came in with time to spare on switch candidate MiR. Next day makes a tepid Asiina defense before merk claims and then votes after merk has claimed, with a token justification for voting. I just got burned for going after what I thought was a connection between two players so I feel reluctant to rush into another obvious-looking lynch, especially because it seems like everyone else agrees on this one, but that's really my only reservation.

The Ninth Layer

Kashuno went nowhere on night 2 according to Grandicap. Asiina died and was a goon. If we have a three-scum team then two of them were alive on night 2, meaning if Kashuno is scum he both wasn't the nightkiller (barring untrackable kills) and he didn't have another night action.

FWIW, SamVimes was also seen doing nothing on night 1. With merk flipping JOAT I'd be inclined to believe that merk tracked Asiina to the kill which is why he knew she would flip scum. So it may not mean anything that Sam didn't do anything that night.

I think Sam and Kashuno can both be scum only if the scum team's only night action is a kill, because if either was scum with any other role they would have been seen using it on one of n1 or n2.

If I'm just going by my gut then my biggest suspicion right now is BottleKnight. He's someone that I've felt has been pretty reasonable all game, but probably mostly because he's agreed with me a lot lately. He went for TMM on a pretty dubious meta claim and his vote sat on TMM until the day ended, so he completely missed the Asiina swing too. He voted with merk's case on Asiina yesterday, which is probably the best thing I can say about his post history, but it could have just been him trying to ride the merk boat. He also rode hard with me on ANarc and was happy to echo me at times.

Someone said earlier (Grandi?) that you've been super surface-level this game, and while I mostly disagree on that, your last sentence here is pretty superficial. Do you think it's an easy case for the scum to jump on? If so who looks the most opportunistic? You seem to pretty clearly state that you don't feel comfortable with him, but you give none of the additional suspicion that I know you've given before for similar situations.

PMom has been casing Vimes for days so what do you think of PMom?

I was riding the merk boat, because I had a town read on him, just like I did in Pearl of Port Lourde. His busyness seemed to be something in both games that was genuinely holding him back and I don't think he would've been earnest about that at all as scum. Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit, but after not finding the good posts from Asiina I thought she had and reading PMom's D1 arguments on her I was already swinging that way.

If bowmore had flipped scum I was ready to come after you because his case seemed incredibly manufactured and I thought it might be some kind of last-ditch play to make his scumbud look good. But that turned out not to be the case and I agree, reads are quite a bit harder now which is why I've been rereading certain events.

Pecota/BK

Kash


Like, if I had to put it down on paper like that.

I feel kinda eh about Ninth because nothing seems overtly scummy, but the only other game I played with him, he seemed super good to me.

I think it's an easy case for anyone to jump on, not just scum. I think Sam will flip scum and I'm not at all interested in defending him.

This is really backwards and I don't understand it, why would I bus a scumbuddy so hard in any event? How does it make me look better for bowmore to flip town?

I started typing up this post and then suddenly remembered that you were pushing the ANarc lynch the whole time. I think the substitution got me confused. I don't know why I forgot that.

So it's probably a good thing that I didn't have to explore that line of thought, though if I had reread your interactions after a potential bowmore scum flip like I was planning to do I'm sure I would've caught that and erased it from my head.

Vimes is most likely scum. His weird tunnel on LJ, who I think is town, in addition to his lack of content and focus on weird things (whether or not it was an assassin kill, how the dagger was venomous in one post and not in another) leads me to believe he is scum. I could see TNL bussing SSV, as he started with SSV in that series of posts and then distanced from it over posts.

Power of Pecota

##vote Vimes is the vote for today, he's playing like he's resigned to his fate (holding strong with the LJ vote with no traction but not attempting to get people to vote with it at all or voice anything new) and with Kash calling him likely scum I think everyone else in the game has taken a negative stance on him. I can't see his D3/D4 as anything other than trying to minimize what he says about other people - unless I'm missing something, the last stance he took on someone who's alive right now excluding the LJ thing is mentioning ~vibes~ on Kash on the 17th.

I've already given my opinion on my prmary scum candidate. Why did you go from reading me as "probably town" to considering me your top lynch?

I'm going to be straight, I've done a pretty bad job of this game and I'm probably going to be lynched. I'm not going to bother with flailing around and trying to explain all my actions because that'll just be a distraction. I suspect I'll be more useful posthumously when you start examining people who put focus on me in light of my town flip.

These are exactly the kind of discussions we could've been having since last night!

I really do think you believe that stuff about applying pressure with votes. But me clearing you on that was stupid to begin with and rereading you proved that my read on you was neutral.

The reason it's neutral is because you've basically stated no opinions, and nothing's stopping you from posting some now!

BottleKnight
+ Also considered Asiina (flipped scum) a scum pick.
- On the TMM (flipped town) case.
- Was pro-Anarc/bowmore (flipped town) lynch

Pretty neutral read here.

Power of Pecota
+ Had votes on Asiina (flipped scum) the day before she was investigated.
+ Clearly reasoned cases, is quick to take into account new information and shift reads.
- Had a couple of bad votes early.

Leaning town on PoP, also feel her questioning makes her good to have around.

Pinterest Mom
+ Early scum read on Asiina (flipped scum).
+ Didn't join in the anarc/bowmore (flipped town) case
- Hammered mir (flipped town)
- Case on me (town) all game.
- Early mediocre case on TMM (flipped town)
- Considered Grandicap (flipped town) scummy.

A bit scummy, but not a primary scumpick.

ljtrigirl
+ Consistently for Asiina (flipped scum) lynch
- Wanted Anon/bowmore (flipped town) lynched, only started reconsidering when I opened up the hammer for her
- "Scum: Pecota, Vimes, Anon, and Grandi." Two flipped town, one town, one unknown. Why would there even be a four man scumteam in a 13 player game? We'd be at MYLO if there was.
- OMGUS case on TMM (flipped town) early game.
- Once discovered that Grandicap (flipped town tracker) wasn't a new player, was for lynch.

Still leaning scum on her, the only thing that is making me not completely sure is her view on Asiina.

TheNinthLayer
+ For Asiina (flipped scum) lynch before investigation happened.
- For Grandicap (flipped town tracker) lynch.
- Lots of throwing shade at town players without commiting to a vote.

Another fairly neutral read. Some slightly scummy aspects, but with more suspicious targets I'll say town.

Kashuno
- Cased MiR as scum (flipped town)
- Early case on Grandicap (flipped town tracker) is kind of bullshit, as well as the "this is a scum post" messages devoid of any actual reasoning
- Was eager to swap to a TMM lynch (flipped town)
- Was against the Asiina (flipped scum) investigated lynch, requested a fullclaim from merk (flipped town joat)
- "bowmore grandi scumteam." (both flipped town)
- Accusing me (definitely town) of being scum now

Uh. I remembered my read on Kashuno being pretty neutral but that is quite a record there. :stare:

SirSamVimes
+ Definitely town. :v:

Probably going to get lynched, so everyone examine the people who have pushed cases on me.
