B- is a strong town read for me, opinions can change, but as of now I wouldn't vote for him.

If you want to cuddle me for that then fine. You are going to cuddle a townie.

OMGUS usually means the shady practice of voting someone who is voting for you. Voting for someone you meta don’t like is usually referred to as a “policy vote”.

I hope this is an act because you’re Secret Alliance, because I like playing with you :(

My top 3 list is still binus, CPig, and Sal, would vote any of them.

Last night I was visited by a messenger. Hi messenger.

I think the messenger is likely b-minus1, or impersonating the writing style.

If Mr. Steak's claim about watching the people he was voting is true, then he should be able to identify the messenger, and I can confirm with the code word.

That wouldn't confirm the alignment of the messenger but might confirm whether Steak's claim was true (unless Steak and messenger are able to communicate OOT).


I think CPig was a very weird NK target if there is actually a Town Upgraded Triple Watcher, especially after a Doc is dead.

I think it's highly "convenient* that when there is a way to demonstrate Mr. Steak's claim (he should have been able to identify the messenger if he watched), suddenly that claim was a lie and a new claim is created, but also he won't demonstrate that the extravotes are gone.

Both claims also very self-serving as far as manipulating power roles and providing an excuse for Steak not being dead the next day.

Maybe CPig gave Steak (or another of the SAAPs) the Vig, and Steak went all through D2 creating a gambit setting them up to use it as an extra Secret Alliance nightkill?

If that was the case then one kill did get stopped, they would not both target CPig. If Sal is Town and his claim of Jailer is true, then he may have jailed a killer or a victim. Since he already claimed Jailer he should probably claim his N2 target.

Mr. Steak, if you are telling the truth, please ask the mod if you can demonstrate your extravotes are gone.

I am inclined to 'Liminate All Liars.

In this understated response, Sal is claiming that he Jailed Mr. Humalong N2.

Uhhh, why? I couldn't find any alignment call about him by you at all.
Sal's only utterance about Humalong in the entire game was early on D1:

At the end of D2, Sal's stayed suspects were ETR and xiw.

Here’a another reason Steak’s new claim makes no sense:
Imagine for the sake of argument that you were Town and suddenly had 3 Bodyguard Charges to publicly distribute. The only reason to lie and not just claim on D2 that the people you voted are protected, or claim nothing, would be to try to lure the NK onto your protection targets, with the aim of absorbing NKs, helping Town.

But your lie (posted early D2) was that your targets would be Watched (and your targets at that time were binus and Sal and you urged nobody to vote them.)
Problem is, a Watch would repel any NK from targeting them, not lure it.

So the internal logic of your admitted lie does not square with your new claim of “bodyguard charges”.

Would you like to spin a new tale?

Also on other reason Me. Steak’s new lie is so dumb...
If his Bodyguard Charges story were true: “hey guys I just have one vote now but won’t demonstrate it because I am so noble and respectful to the mod and the reason I lost those two other votes is that, get this TWO Separate Nightkills (corresponding to my extravotes) decided to target people who I claimed to be Watching!

Mr. Steak posted:

ok whatever i'll just say it. my extravotes are watches and im going to be putting them on players i think are TOWN.

the results will be combined into a single list, but even so, i think just the fact of :siren:revealing this will make scum less likely to attack the people i target, so its like a soft-doc in that regard. that's why im full-claiming it.
That was what Steak claimed D2. When his original claim should have told him who was the Messenger who visited me last night, he at first said:

And further (this is a Day 3 post!)

If you're considering both of them to be scum, it'd make more sense as a townie to stay on SalTheBard instead of switching to Mr. Steak. If you're right and Sal flipped scum, it would pretty much confirm the jail targets on N1 and N2, as well as cast a ton of light on the D2 lynch, and deprive the Allies of a power role. Mr. Steak's power is useless now (unless there is someone who really needs to not die tonight), but that goes both ways, and I'm not sure what information we'd gain from a Steak scum flip but it probably wouldn't be as decisive as in Sal's case.
I’d be happy to vote any of my top suspects. Sal should have been voted out D2 and would have been I think if ETR didn’t modkill himself. The push on ETR to save Sal was terrible and there was never a case on him.

Charms, you’re talking about “Steak’s power” like you believe he’s telling the truth (which would suggest you think he’s Town), but then also talking about “information we’d gain from a Steak scum flip”. I find that... odd.
If he’s Secret Alliance then we have no idea about what his upgrade actually did or can still do. Maybe he can stack 3 votes on one person now if he wants to. He has refused to demonstrate that his extra votes don’t work. Maybe his extravotes D2 became 1-shot Poisons and hambeet and I will die tonight, and the talk about “extra kills prevented” is a smokescreen for the upcoming Poison deaths.

Unless you know something about Steak that I don’t...

Why would Secret Alliance Sal pop the Superjail and then pretend not to have done it? I don't see the angle. I can't see any possible reason Town Sal would do it and then lie about it either though. And he would be busted as a liar if there's no Jail in future days.

Secret Alliance Sal might be motivated to do the Superjail to free him up to do kills on future nights without having to account for a missing Jail, but then there wouldn't be any reason to deny doing it.

Any other explanation seems really unlikely though, I just can't imagine a scenario where this would be a good play for Sal regardless of alignment. Doing it and lying seems like it would just be inconceivable and totally pointless as Town, but maybe clumsy or crafty for some reason I can't see, if Secret Alliance.

Incorrect. I was never a Mason with Hal.

I was visited by someone calling themself "the messenger" on N2. They said they had visited AA on N1 and Hal on N2. (This was on N2 so maybe they meant N0 and N1??) They gave me a code word to identify them by which they haven't presented yet as far as I have seen. Hal confirmed also having been visited by the messenger.

Linguistically I guessed the messenger seemed like b-minus1, because they said "haha". However Binus now claimed to target me N3 which would seem to make him less likely the messenger. Or maybe he upgraded and has a reason to visit me again.

You tracked me. I jailed Hum and he confirmed it in thread.
If CPig was tracked visited Humalong N2, it would mean that Humalong was not jailed, (otherwise CPig could not be tracked there) and Humalong received a Vig, but then lied and said he failed an attempt to visit hambeet. This would mean that Sal and Humalong are both Secret Alliance, Sal could have done a kill N2 and used Humalong's claim of being jailed as an alibi, and Humalong could use a claim of being jailed as an alibi for having the vig to use on N3.

That seems like it would be a very risky gambit though, counting on nobody else successfully visiting Humlong N2. I would have to look back and see the timing of the claims to see if they claimed about it after everyone else, when it would be safe.

It's most likely that Leith's claim is just additional evidence that Sal indeed jailed Humalong, but it pings me that Sal is really insistent for this conclusion to be accepted without considering the alternative. And also Sal's claimed target of Humalong made no sense from his D1 posting that suggested he was most suspicious of xiw, and that he told Hal in Masonchat that he picked Humalong with "rng". He then said he lied about that but why would that be something to lie about?

I believe hambeet's claim and it fits the evidence. I think CPig got his own Vig back N1, then went fishing for his upgrade, then tried to kill me N2.

Xiw's initial case seemed like a stretch to me but probably sincere, and now he seems tunneled. Binus' vote looks highly opportunistic to me.

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.

Making sure this is the right thread this time.

Idea, and this idea may suck but I do not have much else to contribute with my lack of information.

There were probably 4 scum originally, minus penny, means 3 left.

Can we make a list of 3-4 players that we are pretty sure are town to concentrate on the ones that are left?
Leith, hambeet, Hal, Charms.

Day 4 LumpenList

I think hambeet is Town and I don't like the push on him. Xiw and b-minus1 could be collaborating, but Xiw's case seems sincere but mistaken, and I suspect b-minus1 is pushing an opportunistic bandwagon on it while Sal and Humalong quietly hang back.

I really doubt that there is a Lightning Rod or a Nexus or a Gravedigger, I think it's much more likely Sal is a lying Secret Alliance and used his MegaJail last night. I don't know why he would posture with a vote on Xiw, and I don't see the angle in even using the MegaJail as Secret Alliance, but I think if there was a Town who was responsible they would claim it. I would think that Sal would openly claim it as Secret Alliance for Townie cred, but I guess that's WIFOM.

Lumpen, what happened to this post? How did it go from this to your current vote?
You do not seem to be actually reading the posts. Which doesn't surprise me. But okay, please break it down and explain the issue you see.

b-minus1 posted:

Sal is 100% town.

You know what? ##vote lumpen there’s no way he can be this dense.
Yes, you've said several times you won't vote Sal, but never offered a justification for that. I think I am onto something.

Hal, is Sal still "screaming Town" to you after the last couple posts?

Leith, will you put down a vote? I would join you on b-minus1 or you can join me on Sale. I think RF is Town.

Deadline is in less than 9 hours. I think everyone should lay out their top 3 and put a vote down to avoid a deadline muddle.
