Jake was actually really well-liked yesterday. His casework of P Mach seems flimsy in retrospect (since we know he's wrong), but at the time quite a few people complimented him on catching a seemingly shady as hell post that a lot of other people seemed to miss. If you look at the posts of people talking about Jake yesterday (rather than his own posts), you'll see quite a few people saying poo poo like "drat son JakeP is on fire today, I think he's town" etc. It may be as simple as scum thinking they wouldn't be able to build a clinch case against him.

It doesn't matter if he's well liked on D1 if his scum picks are wrong. Let him live and drive a couple more mislynches against town because it's an easy way to hide as scum. At a certain point people will turn on him and start thinking he's scum if he leads the charge against too many town members. And if the people don't turn on him after a couple days of mislynching people then scum can kill him.

So I'm more inclined to believe that Jake was right about some of his other scum picks and that made scum want to get rid of a charismatic threat.

It's possible, though in my (incredibly limited) experience, this kind of logic is super wifommy. They could just as easily have killed him to help build a case against someone he accused. I should know - I employed that exact tactic in my first game.

Hmm? He does go on me hard, but he presents logical and valid arguments against me and elsewhere. He seemed very spot on with his arguments and the logic behind it. He doesn't have to be right to have valid and logical arguments with good reasoning, and it's weird to me that'd you imply such a thing.

This doesn't make any sense at all to me. How can be be presenting logical and valid arguments about you when you know you're town? Why do you think I fight so hard when people start accusing me of being scum when I'm town? Sure, I say that I can understand why they might thing that way but then I tell them why they are wrong.

And I certainly don't think someone is 'spot on' with his reads enough to give him Shine on N1 when he just flipped a town member and has been argued to get another town member lynched (you). Especially since a scum Jake often leads the lynch and will drop the first vote on someone. Even though I agreed with the case on PMach yesterday, I started having doubts about Jake as soon as I saw the flip because it fits his scum meta to lead a mislynch on D1.

While I agree with Quid and zzyzx about how strange it comes across from Azuth, I feel like there are much better targets for Quid to look at. Yesterday it was izzhov, a brand new player with little experience, and today it's azuth with (admittedly, stupid) their mention of pmach. The fact that

Are we all just going to ignore how Azuth cased the D1 cuddle, admittedly not by actually doing any reads of the thread or going after any leads, but simply by saying "who was a lurker" and then coming up with reasons why they are suspicious?

HE LITERALLY ADMITS THIS IS WHAT HE DID:

happens here seems like Quid is stuck on a tunnel for an easy lynch today. On the other hand, Quid takes their vote off of me and moves to azuth, when I don't think there is anyone who's under the impression I'm town right now. Maybe because Quid knows i'm going to flip town and wants to act like they're exploring other avenues in the mean time? He can always roll right back to me if town decides they want to go for more lynches during lights out, and then get back on azuth afterwards.

Quid I'd be interested to hear if you think Azuth is scummier than I am.

See unlike you I don't like my ego color my entire gameplay :v: I can admit when I am making mistakes as town and playing poorly, and I can detach myself and acknowledge when people make arguments against me that are logically constructed based on the information they know not the information that I know. Being wrong doesn't mean they aren't thinking about things from a town perspective. Lynching a townie doesn't inherently make someone bad or a danger to town. Jake was constructing good arguments and using peoples words against them in a way that was very valid.

How about anyone who wasn't driving what turned out to be a mislynch and was arguing for you to get lynched as well?

How many people does Jake have to be wrong about before you start thinking he might be scum? You say he was wrong about you and he ended up being wrong about PMach, so who do you think he was right about? His other main targets seemed to be Izzhov and Jimson, while he defended Inf to a degree.

Like you aren't the only person judging me for choosing JakeP to deliver to, but no one has offered an obvious alternative that I missed. Jake led a town lynch on DAY loving ONE like that's the end of the world to the people in this game for some reason. Leading a d1 lynch doesn't mean jack poo poo to me, since d1 even with large amounts of content to work through and analyze and form opinions on, is still more than significantly likely to end up in a town lynching town. There was nothing fake about the way jake was playing and just because he was looking at town players doesn't make it wrong that he was forming cohesive, strong, and logical arguments.

I didn't stick with jimson because, as I have already stated, the bartender flavor without a counter claim to that seems logical to me. The power fits the flavor as far as I'm concerned, and while he is playing a loving terrible game I don't think he's scum for it.

This is complete bullshit and you know it. You could easily drop a vote on the person you most suspect to be scum without making some sort of big case. And even so, you've had plenty of time to make any sort of case against something as I made it clear yesterday that I was willing give you time before lynching you.

You've spent the majority of the day so far around -4/-3, so there's no real reason to constantly keep defending yourself without also looking to make cases against someone you think is actually scum.
