Yeah I don't think there's really any point speculating ourselves silly about how many scum want on the sub/why they want on the sub/what scum can do on the sub. I'm with others in that it seems reasonable to assume there's probably one scum among the people who want to be on the sub but other than that it's probably not worth our time to speculate heavily over it.

Yeah we were allowed to read the thread after we finished the minigame, which is what the threads 'Reactor Core Stable' post was. We didn't get to do that minigame until we had completed our own game of Mafia within the Submarine. We lost Moat and Gridlocked, but got B-, who was scum.

Given there was a scum aboard and we weren't allowed to progress the minigame until we took care of scum, MMT, CL, Flerp and Myself were all confirmed Town to each other as a result. Scum likely knew this given we returned sans B- which makes us easy targets.

I'm gonna ##vote Sal until he comes into the thread because I feel like Sal would know better than to early hammer and a lot of his other play is kind of scummy.


I would also like people to examine Lupus, who on a brief skim of the thread during the night when I was allowed to Lupus looks like he's shifting his votes back and forth a lot to go with whoever's got the "vote momentum" in order to appear like he's with the thread but hasn't really put forward any arguments or cases of his own that I saw, just sort of agreeing with the thread's consensus and plopping down a vote.

Beyond that I told myself I'd go back and reread KB's cases because KB is pretty good at snuffing out suspicions and his cases usually have a lot going for them even as D1 cases, so I'm gonna try and do that later, but I need food and finally got my hands on Monster Hunter so I'm gonna try not to spam the thread like I usually do.

I'll be honest I don't have much of a read one way or the other on anyone. I would like to go back and take a look at the Sub Teams posting history because I think out of those 7 at least 1 (if not more) are scum.

This is a weird thing to say after we'd have left. It's not like you can do anything about the sub team at that point even if you do deduce who was scum. It felt like fake casing to continue to avoid getting involved in what happened, and the rest of your stuff for a while revolves around that instead of trying to poke and prod the people who are actually in thread at that point.

Your vote on DB vs IS looks pretty bad in hindsight, given IS flipped scum, and it's weird that you immediately went in on TMM afterwards when you were kind of in a similar situation where IS's flip makes you look bad, but here you look like you're trying to shift the blame onto TMM.

SalTheBard posted:

Between IS and DB I choose DB who seemed scummier to me at the time (and hasn't been totally cleared IMHO yet). Why should I have to talk about a person I had no intention on voting for? (I also fell asleep pretty early last night after some weed).

Basically I think we should vote TMM first and then possibly think about Mr. F or Birb 2nd. I really don't like Bribs trying to get a turbo cuddle going on TMM before the sub gets back (WHEN IS THE loving SUB COMING BACK?) I also feel like he's really just doing a lot of drive by posting right now with no real content. There is no doubt TMM goes first, I think we can all agree he's scum (the retaliatory Max kill), but Bird is not totally cleared in my book either.

These two parts of your next post are what make me go from your usual town play to making me think you're really scummy. You're trying to set up a suspicion board for multiple days, arguing who to dunk when, and a lot of it seems due to a retaliatory kill on Max. TMM claims later with CPR Doc, but you should never 100% think that the obvious route is the most logical one, even if it looked like a 3p kill at the time. Someone could easily be setting up TMM to take the fall there in theoretical terms, an SK's wincon is so razor's edge they wouldn't be thinking about killing the person that would draw the most heat onto them. I wrongly defended B- in the sub because he killed Moat when to me it felt like Moat's kill would have drawn more heat onto B-, but thinking about "is this a retaliatory kill or a setup" is basic mafia thought when it comes to flips.

It strengthens a personal theory of mine that TMM might be just a 3P killer using a really, -really- good fakeclaim and that you're scum trying to root out the 3p under the guise of trying to find scum, but I don't know how well that lines up with the evidence right now. I feel like you've always been pretty cognizant of Votefinder (and you earlier in the thread unvoted because you had been putting TMM at -3, so you were clearly cognizant enough of the fact that you had to watch the vote).

I just really don't buy it as a simple mistake.

If he's telling the truth and could be "controlled" or whatever the gently caress, he's not worth having around. He's been wrong on everything so far.

Read my post. It's not the simple issue of of being wrong.

I made that post before SA Needful updated, I did read your post and see some points, I do think TMM looks bad given that evidence, and as stated I would not necessarily be against voting them with the idea of leaving a role that can potentially kill up is bad for town one way or another. However, I think Sal's scum who's starting to get caught up in his own play and slipping and would like to push further scrutiny on him for the time being.

Monathin
Sep 1, 2011

To elaborate re: the phrase "being wrong", I think the idea of categorizing scummy play as "being wrong" or vice versa is a think scum would accidentally say to encourage the idea that, even if the dunk flips town its okay because the player wasn't contributing in the correct way. I wouldn't call it a direct scumslip or scumtell but I'd say that it can be indicative of someone who is not playing the game in a Town mindset.

Like Sal, for example:

SalTheBard posted:

On some weird chance he's a 3p SK, cuddling him still makes a ton of sense.

Some "weird" chance he's a 3p? There's been two kills which is usually how the biggest tell there is a 3p at work, Scum rarely get some way to do a second kill. Do you think Scum have 2 kills in this setup? Who else do you think is scum, besides TMM?

I'm allowed to be wrong and change my mind later.

It's how you turned back around to the idea so quickly now that TMM is once again in the hot seat. I would have expected you to be a little more wary and cautious about your play, especially after an purportedly accidental early hammer. I can't really reasonably justify the idea that you accidentally hammered Mr. F and then you going "I can't believe we didn't hammer TMM yesterday" without acknowledging your own play in that scenario.

I think you're scum, Sal.

Deadbeat Dad posted:

I agree about Sal looking weird as gently caress, but I think that could wait. He's not going anywhere. Like I said, we need to get rid of any killing role that can be anti-town. THERE IS SOMEBODY ALIVE that has killed 2 strong people. It's not a stretch to vote TMM out because of that. That's without considering that the kills have benefitted him, even if it is setting him up. In the same vein as the lurker lynch policy people were excited about yesterday, removing somebody that can actively hurt the town is just as important, and it would erase the confusion. Best case is we catch the SK, worse case is we use a doctor who hasn't really been helpful to us.

People have been tridented 2 nights in a row, and ripped to shreds 2 nights in a row. There's a good chance he is a 3P killer in a game that has 21 people.

I agree with your logic and find it reasonable, but I'm going to keep talking about Sal for the time being because I want to see Sal's response to my arguments.

SalTheBard posted:

It was more that we had a second kill that describes "ripped to shreds". We know that TMM was responsible for the first "ripped to shreds" kill. If you want to kill me that's fine. I'm Vanilla Town. You can kill me or you can kill the person that has a NK ability and has used it twice on townies. My change on TMM is soley because of the Night Kill (which I hadn't known about yesterday).

And TMM owned up to it immediately, with the theory that something/someone took control of his night action for the night, yes.

You still didn't answer my questions, Sal. Do you think TMM is 3p (likely SK if so) or Scum? You seem to keep going back and forth and you described SK is unlikely where I think it's the mostly likely response.

And, in either of those cases, who do you think is the remaining scum? I would wager there's likely 2 scum left after IS and B-, so it's extremely weird that you're not giving me reads on people other than TMM who is at least slightly locked in.

I don't like you're early get-out-ahead-of-it VT claim, either.

I would be willing to entertain the idea of TMM 'protecting' Sal if we want to go that route. It is risky but I think it's worth doing, because at least then we'd have a known target.

FWIW tmm i think you're vastly overestimating/have your math wrong on scum. There were only five scum in Shine, and that was a 25-man. I can't see there being more than 5 in this game, and even then that seems like a highball to me. I feel like four is the safer number.

Ugh Sal's big effortpost reads as genuine so I'm starting to have second thoughts, the fact that DB can confirm he has a box is frustrating because I thought there was something there, there may still be something there though.

I know I'm hammering this point home, but I think more fruitful discussion could happen with him dead. In an ideal world I like TMM and think he's an asset, but with the role he has even if he's town I just don't like him alive.

I really want to dunk Lupus right now but I will begrudgingly admit TMM is the better call at this stage.

As the chief person who pushed Sal I quite liked Sal's big response when he came home and his thing about the box (and Dick BAstardly's confirmation that that was a thing) have made me feel much better about it overall. I don't think Sal is scum anymore.

The reason I hadn't voted for TMM yet despite saying I was fine with it is because I think there's still discussion to be had and, even if TMM's role is a proven liability to town at this stage, is I respect TMM as a strong Town Player who can usually dissect a lot of stuff and get on a good trail.

I want to wait for TMM's reads and I find you extremely scummy that you were trying to further the hammer when he was at -2 already.
