I think I'll need some time to process how exactly I feel about toal's claim here, since there are a few ways this could play out (your mason partner dying after you both reveal info isn't a great look, but I think merk dies anyway there based on the SIV push)

I think somber and FoS are good ones to look at today

Rip Merk.

Merk was a town Mason recruiter who recruits people into one on one masonries and who recruited me n1. Our biggest scum pick after flip was Somber, who seems to have been soft defending SIV most of yesterday. I've tried to think of a good gambit to do with my knowledge of his role but it probably is best to reveal everything I know.

We full claimed to each other, he played a gambit and I responded in a way that was Townie, he dropped his casing of me D2, and we applied pressure together on MMM, SIV, and Somber.

Yeah FOS was the other player that Merk was suspicious of.

I thought your posting was suspicious. I phrased it the way I did because I thought it would be funny. I was also in the process of trolling merk to see how he would he would react (the reaction of no longer talking to or about me and then instantly finding scum was pretty good I'd say)

I cannot recall the exact reasoning as it's been a bit, but I recall your posting being erratic in a way I didn't like, and you were worth pressuring me since you were in my POE

Posts/Series of posts where Somber is defending SIV.

This is a conversation that follows immediately after Merk and I post cases on SIV. Somber enters thread out of no where insinuating that I'm third party hunting, and trying to put words in my mouth to make me look scummy. Somber makes several wild accusations hoping to antagonize me.

Merk broke it down saying that Somber just doesn't want to talk about SIV anymore and trying to shift gears.

Here is Somber defending SIV again by attacking Merk's case without offering a valid lunch candidate in exchange. Defending SIV for no reason, however we know now that she was scum.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3886385&userid=147412&perpage=40&pagenumber=3#post494315940

Somber was pushing pretty heavily end of day for a shift onto MMM. Merk came to the conclusion that SIV was not bussing scum end of day, rather they were fighting to push onto MMM who by all means should have been the path of least resistance because he was AFK.

you said earlier you should have killed mmm or somber but then you make that comment at steak, which seems inconsistent. you have changed your mind?

what looks funny about the mmm lunch feeling easy thing? tbh this post confuses me:

- your gut says mmm, but that partly relied on merk being scum*
- mmm lunch feels too easy looks funny
- this doesn't absolve mmm since merk is town*
- mmm's presence/weird toal vote look like lurking scum (i agree with this but the other points don't flow at all)

That's just how I feel about it.

Somber is mostly because I had such a strong scum read on them earlier in the game.

MMM because a large part of my night phase deliberation was picking a target to use the gun on because towards the end of the day after my 2nd read of the game I decided maybe sombers play was maybe just how they played.

And in hindsight I shouldn't have stopped shaking that ragdoll in my gelatinous jowls because I was probably right.

It's just the unexpected vote shift to somber made me think maybe it was me who was loving up, and now after much second guessing and four total reads of the game, I can say yes, it is I who am loving up.

The sal thing was mostly a logic fail. That's not how scum inventors work. I submitted a kill on a player. And messaged in a panic 20 minutes later after finishing the 3rd read that I was probably loving up and going to die, but locked in a kill on sal.

I was probably one of the last actions in because I couldn't make up my mind.

For all everyone called it an "easy" lynch, votes have completely failed to materialize. He was at all of 2 votes before someone unvoted for fear he'd get lynched.

This feels like desperation to me. SiV even goes on to completely misread all the people talking about how MMM felt like an easy vote

I'm not good at spotting teammates / interactions pre-flip, so this is who else I'd vote.

AA and Sal keep saying that the gun clears them in some way. They don't even have to be the same alignment the way Huma's alleging; scum could have an inventor, scum could receive an item. Sal I'm neutral on at the moment, but AA's scummy.

Flerp keeps ninjaing in and out of the thread any time people notice he hasn't posted in a while, not saying much, and disappearing.

Oh hey, look, he posted while I was previewing.

Also, for all I'm neutral on Sal, he seems way more obsessed with litigating who voted him yesterday and why than actually hunting scum, like he's intent on self preservation.

Well Sal has been cleared since this post. It’s possible AA could be scum that Sal mistakenly gave a gun to, I guess. SiV was really going hard on flerp around deadline, not sure if a good hard bus or desperately trying to swing a mislunch. flerp is hard to pin down because usually they seem rather unengaged.

Uh, I don't buy 'SiV wouldn't bus scum' on MMM. She voted MMM but then spent the rest of her time trying to talk people into voting flerp. In either case, the lynch was basically a forgone conclusion at that point, and attacking MM or Flerp could easily be scum trying to give either or both town cred, especially MMM. Also see Steak's theory that I reposted previously.

I think people aren't looking in the right place: the attempted Somber swerve right at the end of d2. The clues here are Humalong and Hal. AA did too but has been having a fight with somber since day 1. Briefly merk but he's cleared and I suspect he was (successfully) trying to get somber to claim. Toalpaz voiced some hesitant support but honestly I feel like his post reads town. Huma and Hal both floated a sudden and weird somber push at the last minute, then swapped to SiV when it was increasingly obvious that was going to be what happened. They did both of these things almost at the same time. Very scummy.

My suspicions about Atomic Soda still stand from yesterday she's several rungs down on my list now.

So tl;dr scumlist is MMM, Humalong, Hal.

the most votes somber got was 3, and was pretty much tied with siv at that point. my opinion was and still is that both were scum. notice how siv never even once tried to cast suspicion on somber at all, even though she was scum and tied with him for votes. considering how simple it would have been to do so (town was generally agreeable about somb being suspicious) what does that make u think...?

The lunch on SiV would not have happened if I had not switched back. So there’s a pretty big hole in your argument. Add onto this that Hal wasn’t even someone who swapped but you still include them. Merk swapped to Somber and his flip doesn’t tell us who he was, do you think he could also be scum? Also, do you sincerely think scum would vote on someone with one vote at the same time, then switch back to the vote leader at the same time? You really think that is a play scum would make?

Soda - I’ll have to reread FoS now that they’re desperately trying to float me as scum.
