Muttley is SKYNET!!!
After re-reading myself, I think I'd be willing to vote Asiina tbh

Asiina went after Keane (on D1? maybe D2) whom I believe is more likely town than not due his un-challenged or otherwise un-refuted claim.
She did mention a "plague" she contracted, thus leaving an excuse for lack of participation due to rolling loathe scum this game, as Foo has pointed out, as a part of her meta.
She also used AA's flip as a way to gain town cred which, along with the other thing previously listed, does seem to pint to a shady Asiina.

I should be available at least once more before deadline tonight to re-assess the game and go from there, but I think I would feel comfortable voting Asiina at this point. I won't however pending further discussion.

The foundation of my argument is the same however wrong the details are. In mind I was justifying my argument thinking Keane was alive because I am retarded and not paying attention or remembering key details.

If you think I'm scum, vote for me.
If you think I'm the worst dumbest town ever to play the game, then I ask that you live with the self loathing of not voting me thank you.

Interesting, you had enough opinions to want to thunderdome someone just yesterday! But don’t forget you thought I was the best.

Really though are you being flippant or can you genuinely not remember what you’ve been doing this game?

I did actually forget, but reading cases against me I remember now.

I didn't use my being right about AA for town cred, I just refuted ANarc trying to use it as evidence I was scum, which I still stand by. Not being taken in by a bad case doesn't make me scum. DB using that against me as well also looks bad.

That said yeah, I'm pretty disengaged.

Ok I was wrong about Keane but I still stand by my logic in thinking he was scum. My vote on AA after hammer happened bc I had the page open for a while and didn't check it.

Gut thoughts: I don't like how much Dick B was looking into fluff. We've been given hard numbers for how the heist works, I am very tempted to assume that in that case, fluff is entirely irrelevant. I also think that (at least for now, before a meta has settled) both scum and town heist leaders have an incentive to pick town for their team, so I'm leaning town on the people picked (yes, this is self-serving; I can't help genuinely having this opinion).

Miller claim is obviously also shady, though I am inclined to believe that the idea of someone being detected as scum when they're not fits this theme rather well.

I also think that, personally, if I were miller and I thought someone was breadcrumbing that they had copped me, I would immediately claim miller. This way I do what I can to defend against the scum result without revealing/rolefishing the person who got the result.

Preliminary ##vote Dicky B , though I will re-assess before deadline.

DB is also scum. Not sure about moat, kind of cooled on him

For whatever it's worth, this post is only a few hours before the time DB claims to have submitted his team. This is the post he claims turned his read on RF to town, and it makes sense that a "fresh" town read would particularly incline him to take that person on a heist. So his story holds there.

Monathin

So here's why I don't like the people focusing on Dicky B is because of the way Heists work.

I specifically mentioned there were only two people, flavor-wise, who should be taking me, as my Role PM explicitly states that I'm a massive liability on Heists. As in "about as much of a liability as scum", but vaguely implied that it could be somehow offset by the two flavor people I mentioned. (I asked Slam about this and they refused to elaborate, as is their right.)

We know that Heists are explicitly pro-town, because Scum carry a native -25% chance to the Heist's success.

The Heist was successful, which leads me to believe Dicky B is one of the two people I mentioned before, because they would have no reason to ring me as scum if they believed me when I said I was a liability.

Looking back, I am liking this case on Hal. And, looking at my own interactions with Hal:

Ha I made the same wrong assumption that she thunderdomed merk too at first.

I'm very torn on merk right now, I thought he was being fairly scummy in his attack on Asiina which seemed very flimsy, but on the other hand his reversal reads pretty town to me. I'm inclined to leave him alone for now though, I can usually pick up on his scum game later on and he's definitely great to have around when he's town and not tunneled.

Keane's gotten a lot more jokey this game than he has been recently which I THINK is more of a town-tell for him but a lot of people are seeing him as scum so maybe I need to wake up more (literally) and look at him harder.
Trying to buddy up to three different townies (2 confirmed). Revealing that "mistake" adds nothing to the conversation, other than attempting to gain my trust.

Looking back, I find this case stronger than the DB case.

It is implied in this that you believe those two characters to be town. Do you have good reason to believe that?

Nothing concrete, but given the fact that Heists are explicitly pro-town by their design, coupled with the fact that those two characters are able to offset me being a bigger liability on heists (and therefor natively suspicious), I think it's a safe bet.

I dunno the exact phrasing of your PM. Could it be an alternate explanation that you are offered as an "equalizer" for scum leaders?

As in "hey, so it sucks for you that you inherently make the heist harder to succeed, by nature of your identity, I'm willing to offer you this one way you can off-set that, if you succeed in identifying character X".

Not likely. The paraphrase is that I make it X% more likely the heist is to fail, but those two characters are hinted as people I could run with that would make things harder.

It's a very high chance, close to Scum's native 25% chance to fail a Heist. I would find it unlikely that a Heist could succeed with someone picking me up for a job while also being Scum.
