I know Chic's had a lot of IRL stuff going on, so I'm not ready to jump on lurker = scum with her, I don't think. I think she's lurking hard enough that if it stays this way, she's going to get prodded by Kash anyways.

Even tongue-in-cheek, starting day 2 with things rather than making any posts of substance feels suspicious to me.

This is the sum total of all of Sal's content since jokephase ended.
I also tentatively agree with this view as well.

I don't feel like either is enough to vote Never or Sal yet, but if we go through Day 2 without any actual content for them, they're going to go pretty high on my list of suspicions.

In the mean time, lemme get some more Opinions(TM) in.

Okay here's the deal, I'm very busy and I wanted to do this right but I'm cop, b-minus isn't scum.
:psyduck: This almost feels like it has to be an outlandish scum strategy. If Ju was just busy and actually the cop, I don't think he'd be nearly so gung-ho about drawing the attention onto himself for an essentially-useless claim. It gives us nothing to work with, but people are going to be very reluctant to kill a cop who isn't counterclaimed.

But if a cop were to counterclaim, they'd have a very good chance at killing them on D2. If I were scum, but too busy to contribute properly, turning myself into a potential sacrificial lamb to out the cop would sound like a very clever idea. There's other possibilities, that this is a town gambit of some kind, but with Occam's Razor gleaming bright, yeah, I'm not buying this at all.

Thank you for the breakdown of SalTheBard’s post history, YT.

I do not like that PMush defended Chic Trombone after Nevergirls voted to lynch her. Even if you know someone is busy irl, you shouldn’t know anything about their role/alignment, unless you’re scumbuddies. It just seems strange to defend another player, especially a lurker, this early in the game, but it could be because I hate lurkers and have no problem lynching any of them.

I do not understand why Juchero felt he had to claim, but I hate that he did it. Man, you weren’t even under that much pressure. If the cop claim is true, then you’ve given up a critical town role to the scum. If it is false, then the real cop SHOULD NOT COUNTERCLAIM!!!

For the moment, I believe the claim. Juchero was suspicious of me yesterday, so I would understand why he would investigate me. However, I don’t understand why he made this post:

Juchero posted:

b minus is still my pick but I need a little time to reread

busy with a moooove
So you investigated me last night and got a town result, said I was your lynch pick this morning, then later you fullclaimed cop and investigated me n1? I don’t follow.

b) hi im in the middle of a depressive episode and am a very busy person who should probably just finally give up forever on mafia because every time i think i'll have time i end up not having time

The primary reason I'm "lurking like hell" is that I didn't take part in joke-phase. I have as many serious posts in this thread as you do.

And, slight misunderstanding: where I come from we exclusively use "investigate", so when you said "examine" I didn't know you meant actual people with special powers doing the investigating (thought you just meant "hey let's discuss those guys").

I could get behind voting for Sal... But the cop claim is too weird. ##vote Juchero

The "b-minus is innocent" claim is just... so bad. b-minus was barely under suspicion at the time, and the real cop revealing themselves for basically zero benefit like that absolutely does not feel like a thing even the most incompetent cop would do. At the moment I consider Juchero and Sal to be the biggest suspects, leaning towards the latter.

(Incidentally I trust b-minus slightly more now, since both a real and a scum cop have good reason to say that a townie is indeed a townie).

Imo it shouldn’t matter. I’m suspicious of anyone voting for a person who has claimed cop. I hate the claim, but not enough to vote for him. Especially since he said he would come back and explain when he has time.

ugh i made my claim after calling on b-minus as my pick becuz i forgot I was cop until I checked my discord pms

the reason i claimed is the same reason I investigated him: if I didn't know he was town 100% i personally would have led the charge. with that assumption and the knowledge i couldn't participate actively(right now i am at a new emotional and physical limit I didn't know existed for me), I made my claim to avoid what I thought would be an obvious day 2 mislynch

would my claim have been better either another day or once momentum on minus had built? duhhhhhhhhh no poo poo, but that's not the choice I thought I could make

please just take it on faith for now, i literally do not have the time or energy to fight for this right now

YT you can advocate voting for me that's fine. I'm 100% town though. I agree with your point that having someone investigate me to determine I'm telling the truth is fine. If you want another townie to due vote for me, if you want to work to eliminate scum vote for someone else. I'm not good at defending myself here so I don't know what else to say.

Basically, if you look through his post history he's posted white noise and reactions, with few to no serious thoughts or callouts of his own. He's skating by on being a high-volume poster (relatively, anyways) without contributing much anything of substance and it's rubbing me the wrong way

There's also a dash of wifom with him having joked about himself being scum for town points but that's wifom and not really worth pursuing tbh

So looking at still living players who DIDN'T vote for Hal:
Jon Joe, Asiina, Dance, and Juchero

I feel confident in saying that there was obviously scum that voted for Hal (as is the nature of the game), but I'm going to ignore that for now. Based off the of the amount of posts we have JJ (28), Asiina (28), Dancer (9), and Juchero (18). When I was playing my last game I was scum and I attempted to post enough to stay active, but not enough to have my name constantly out there so that's why I'm leaning towards Juchero. I'm fine accepting my fate if people want to vote for me, but I'm town.

I didn't find anything on the wiki so I'm sorry I'm not sure what hard claiming means.

Dancer pointed out that it would be extremely weird for someone to claim cop on N2. While I don't know that for sure I'm inclined to agree with them, which makes Jucheros post even stranger now that I've thought about it.
