Calling the shot: DB was the last scumbo, he is telling the truth about scum having no NK here, and Murmur is not scum, but is the SK (who has been hunting scum, and is the only person in the game with a night action).


##vote murmurtwin

I can't really think of how to refute this other than to say that I would have hammered and/or NK'ed DB (who I thought was claiming a PR) if that was the case.

I agree that the setup could be X scum with no NK + a "scum SK" who can't communicate with the rest of the team (a la Swan Song), but if that's the case then it really could be any of us that's the SK. If the theory is that the long nights coincide with the nights I wasn't around, all I can say is that I'm the type of person who would use my phone to PM in decisions so as not to slow the game down (and obviously it's up to other people if they want to believe me or not).

If that is indeed the setup - a split scum team where one side has numbers and one other person has the kill - I could see an argument for chores being the last scum.

got some chores tonight posted:

please everyone claim their nationality im pretty sure we can solve the game this way

Can someone who is good at languages (aka "not me" :effort:) look at the names of the scum characters and see if this post was chores trying to figure out who his team is?

I acknowledge that, but if we're in a situation right now where there's an SK (either 3P or scum-aligned), then we're not going to be able to figure out who it is based on "who is / isn't scumhunting?" or using meta reads or anything like that, since any of us would play it like town.

So to me, chores asking for people to claim nationality / last name at the start of the game is the most suspicious thing on the table, even if Tao (and Max if he's being honest; I have no reason to think he isn't right now) are exceptions to the "town players have one name" rule.

on second thought, it makes a lot of sense for db to try and discredit the idea names mattering to alignment if db believed it actually did matter

in swan song the scum were split into 3 groups. I knew about mmt and another person, they did not know my identity and we couldn't communicate. there was also a scum aligned 'serial' killer that none of us knew about.

it makes more sense to me that you would be off on your own trying to figure out who they are as to not kill them than being scum looking for the killer

The issue I have with mmt as an SK is that her kill choices don't make a lot of sense. I mean I guess that's the idea, but you'd think she'd have gone for Asiina or me or someone who was on her.

What's your opinion of my case on chores? To retierate:

The main thing to consider is that, in a game where no one dead has had a PR and no one alive has claimed one, YPM died on N3 instead of town. Why?

- If a town player had something to do with it (like a vig or redirect), I feel like they would have claimed it by now since there are 3 dead scum already and it seems like town is ahead.
- If there's a 3P SK in the game, there almost certainly would have been more than one kill per night.
- I don't think that scum would just choose to NK YPM on N3 for no good reason.

Ecco ran a game a few weeks ago (Swan Song) where the scum team was split into multiple groups. If that were the case here - a game where the scum player doing the kills doesn't know the identity of his scumbros, it would explain how YPM died in a game where no one seems to have any power roles.

And then, if you consider that that's the setup, it explains a lot of the stuff chores was doing early game. Asking about last names (trying to find his teammates), talking about expensive things (trying to signal to his teammates that he's the killer), and that interaction with Rarity all make sense.

Again, I wouldn't have just jumped to that conclusion because Ecco ran a game like that in the past. To me it's more like "what other explanation could there be for YPM dying in a game where no one appears to have a PR?".

I don't think it's really a mod meta case to consider the possibility when we have 1 kill/night, dead town and scum, all vanilla flips, and scum curious about an sk.

likewise, the theory doesn't seem like it would be a repeated game to me. swan song had a lot going on. speaking of which, RF what was up with that visitor breadcrumb?
