And for the sake of helping out here, I have some information (that I wanted to confirm with CPig before sharing):

I am a watcher and watched YPM last night. No one visited him. I'm not really sure what to make of that.

Maybe he visited someone who killed him upon visiting? Is that a thing?

I don't see how claiming watcher and giving us useless information looks like anything but a desperate attempts to displace blame.

Also, how do you explain your voting on D1?

##vote Absurd Revolver - the fact that he's not even considering "what if Murmur is telling the truth and I'm trying to get a town PR lynched?" makes me think he's faking an opinion.

The explanations I can come up with in order of likelihood are:

(a) scum has a ninja
(b) there's a bus driver or some other fuckery with targets
(c) YPM ran into a PGO and scum withheld the kill / got doctored / poisoned someone

It's a way smaller game than normal - with only 7 players left I don't think there's any benefit in waiting, especially given that my result indicates that something out of the ordinary happened.

I would argue that D1 lynches almost always hit town, and now the game has a higher concentration of people trying to hunt scum.

Murmur Twin posted:

It's fine, either (a) I'm lynched and you see I was telling the truth, (b) scum NKs me and you see I was telling the truth, or (c) scum lets me live and risks getting caught watched. I voted for BK because he didn't post any game content, which is as reliable of a method to scumhunt on D1 as any other.

I feel like you're forgetting that town doesn't know who scum is and sometimes - often, in fact - doesn't get scum on the first day.

Weirdly timed claim - I wish you had waited for more people to check in for the day first, so we could maybe catch a lie. But the thought process here feels genuine, and I agree that with a small game like this, holding meaningful results close to your chest becomes less useful.

That being said, assuming you're not fakeclaiming watcher (risky but possible) I think scum having a ninja is the most probable option (as a direct counter to a watcher). The OP said that roles would be standard, so Occam's Razor.

Absurd is looking pretty bad for this immediate push on MMT but I'm not going to put him at -1 till everyone checks in.

And I'm more than a little bit suspicious that 4/7ths of the game (Glowku, Kash, AR, AA) started day 2 in full agreement about who they think is scummiest.

This also bothers me. I looked back at who YPM cased on d1 - he was most ready to vote out Glowku and AR, notably.

Right now I'm currently most suspicious of Absurd Revolver and Kashuno. AR makes a big list of posters, and Kashuno made some pretty bad votes yesterday.

Glowku doesn't ping me as scum.

I think this is the right vote, and yes it's more of a gutfeel based on their post history....

I'm voting absurd because they didn't vote MMT after saying they were scum, but the second I mention that it's pretty scummy the way people are doing exactly that, they self consciously vote.

Just because you're not on the D1 town lynch doesn't mean you are not scum.

There was the nonsense with Podima, Myself and then yourself vote then you vote BK, unvote because he dies a lot D1 and then vote Glowku before disappearing at deadline. Didn't seem like you were actually making a conscious effort even with your own obligations.

Also your absurd vote feels like bussing.

Bussing in this scenario makes no sense. MMT is getting a lot of suspicion, and the claim isn't going to save her since it could be completely fake. There's no advantage in trying to bus someone here.

Oh I missed this - that's called a Paranoid Gun Owner, but I'm skeptical that we have one in this game. (They're relatively uncommon.)

Also that votecount reminds me that everyone HAS checked in. Small games are nice!

My current thinking:

Absurd Revolver - bad push on MMT today, was cased by YPM yesterday (so could be connected to the NK) and was flying under the radar on d1. Did the classic 'throw shade fast but don't actually vote until called out' scum maneuver.

Anomalous Amalgam - agree with their analysis thus far today, and the conversation/argument we had yesterday sorted out in a way that gives me good vibes.

CCKeane - need some more analysis and content from you, please check in today. What's your thought process? Who are the scum?

Glowku - need more from you today too, was cased by YPM yesterday. Killing someone who fingered you is a classic newbie scum move.

Kashuno - :siren: upon reread, has almost no content for d1 other than terse votes and was obviously not reading the thread? Immediately started pushing Glowku and MMT out of the gate today.

MMT - uncountered role claim, genuine thought processes. Timing of their claim rubs me the wrong way but that's minor.

Right now I'd vote towards AR or Kashuno, pending actual content from Keane and Glowku.

Also I want to address this separately - I've seen you bus scumbuds hard on multiple occasions, jumping right on when someone makes a case. (Ecco's soldiers game and El Dorado come to mind off the top of my head) The fact that you're trying to argue logically against bussing in this scenario seems fake.

Pushing glowku and MMT right out of the gate, but vote neither and actually settle my vote on someone else. Having suspicion is perfectly normal, especially given how the BK lynch went.

Sure. I decided to take a look at people who seemed to be all over the place first, and we can see that MMT and Glowku look to be all over the board. They were throwing votes at whatever seemed to stick. I didn't even go back and read d1 content at the time, as stated in my post here:

Kashuno posted:

WOW HOW UNEXPECTED

Gonna have to reread to see when votes shifted but Glowku and MMT stand out to me immediately.

Of the players on the vote, YPM is cleared and I have a town vibe from Podima. This leaves MMT, Glowku, and AA. As stated above, I decided to start with people who were all over the place.

We see that Podima had started to say let's lynch a lurker, which is fine in and of itself. MMT votes Glowku in one post, goes to AA in the next, and then settles in on a lurker lynch. Glowku, meanwhile, does not have a serious vote in all of d1. I felt that it was suspicious how they seemed to work well in tandem, choosing BK as the lurker of choice to go afer.

"case" was meant to be a subjective term - you tend to be a quick voter, and I've seen you toss votes onto scumbuds before with no issue when someone starts in on them. It's ultimately a null tell, I was mostly taking offense to your trying to frame bussing from a logical standpoint when I don't think that's actually how you play.

Also thanks for the breakdown of your thought process, much appreciated.

MMT vote sequence was: Kashuno jokevote -> AA vote -> YPM lurker shade -> AR lurker vote -> Glowku vote -> AA vote -> BK lurker lynch, for reference. I see your point about the jumping around and potential coordination, but it's a little :ironicat: for you to nudge people for tossing votes around. :) I just have a hard time getting past my town read on MMT and the lack of a counterclaim.

I agree that Glowku didn't do much serious voting at all on d1, and floated over to BK with very little provocation: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3775082&pagenumber=6&perpage=40#post459700570
