Your second point doesn't even make sense-- I didn't claim initially.

You're calling me scummy for being cagey first, and now scummy for having a VT claim to hide behind as a reason for not getting NK'ed.

My perspective in your version of "yuming as scum" is contradictory nonsense.

Which I think makes it sound like you're bending the facts here to make this vote work for you.

Read: I'm calling Sandwolf scummy for his treatment of this situation.

I'm hard inclined to agree with yuming's analysis but this was like three days ago so we'll find out if it's relevant :v:

I probably can't do my normal play by play read so I guess it's time to bust out a spreadsheet

-Weird vibes from PQ "trying to help Sandwolf," feels like buddying
-Somber and Sandwolf are coming across as the most sincerely interested in scumhunting and discerning intent and mindset

Yeah sorry that post was a mess, I was holding an ice cream cone and trying to type around it.
I think it makes more sense that they had a role cop n0 and found out hum was the cop, which is why they killed him. Scum doing that and then this weird gambit the next day doesn't add up.
The only reason to do it as a gambit is to make yuming claim a pr and they could just role cop her tonight if that's the case.

Retro Futurist posted:

Of course it's also possible there was no role cop and they just got lucky, in which case inf could be scum pulling something, which is why I'm not ruling it out yet

This is jumping out as a scummy af backwalk. Opop in two posts here completely negates the point he made. Extremely self-conscious vibes here.

still catching up from mid page 17, but.... one comment on yuming.

...followed by refusing to claim whether or not she's vt.


i 100% agree with whoever theorized this is a scum leaving the door open for a future action or what have you.

yes, i understand why all vanilla towns shouldn't claim, and why a single vt should be hesitant to outright claim their role. but, i have a couple issues with yuming's stance here.

1) power roles claim vanilla town. it's not that hard. and that specific type of lie is overwhelmingly accepted by the community. hedging about doing so because you're too scared of getting caught in a lie later is entirely based on scummy motivations.

2) you basically already claimed vt when you said you didn't use an action. the only time a town wouldnt use their action on n1 is if they have limited shots, or some unlikely restriction. in either of those cases, claiming vanilla town is even less of a lie, because you're already vanilla town some/most of the time. so point 1 applies doubly hard.


i dont even know what to make of infi's results, but based solely on yuming's response to questioning, she's scum

##vote yuming

This is also extremely good analysis and I agree 100%. Town yuming shouldn't care about outing herself as VT, she should care about outing herself as a powerrole and becoming a NK target. Hemming and hawing about whether or not to reveal yourself as VT is just weird.

Yeah no. Neither PRs nor VTs should claim to defend themselves from weird poo poo like this D2, and PRs should not pretend to be VT for I don’t even know what the reason would be here.
Regardless of yuming’s role and alignment, she handled that as well as she would have.

And here's Opop immediately white knighting her with analysis that makes zero sense to me. Why would VTs not want to claim?

Man I wish I had been here in real time for all of this, I'm not gonna get any of the answers I want today and this isn't even looking relevant given the state of votefinder :v:

though this is just entirely a matter of meta opinion, so lets just drop it.

leaving aside whether we think it's good play to claim vt when that's a lie, the way yuming continued to hem and haw about it after showing no hesitation to claim "i didnt take an action last night" reads very strange to me. i cant really consolidate her stated opinion on role claiming with the rapid claim of her night activity

Mr. Steak posted:

and then, to end up claiming regardless after a little pressure just makes me think she isn't being honest about her opinions in that regard

- If PQ is truly a redirector, I'd like to request that they redirect actions off me tonight and cop the death from being poisoned. :siren:
- I realise that's a pretty lovely thing to request as well... particularly when I've been calling them scum this game.. but I want town to win and I feel like it would be incredibly risky for a town doc to save a 3P.

I hate this from Inf. Putting this out there to SPECIFICALLY a 3rd party neuters our ability to do anything to confirm Inf is telling the truth this evening. PQ has no interest in serving town at this point, especially if he dies, and so we can't even have the benefit of knowing if he says "nah that's bullshit I ain't gonna do it" that he's telling the truth to the thread. So Inf gets a free pass night to do whatever he wants without any accountability, and we're right back where we start the next day.

Would vote Inf for this, want to finish catching up.

I suppose in the middle of it this was true. At the beginning I really was just wanted to know because it was bugging me, but then he got super defensive so I pushed it to see where it was coming from. At the end, as I said, I think he was more defensive about playstyle then alignment, which is a null.


I have updated my theory to Mith being SK


I don’t like this vote at all. I’m hesitant about Steak because apparently Steak is like this 100% of the time and I haven’t played with Steak at all but I hate this vote.

Steak also seems to suspect people who are loud because they are loud and lurkers because they are lurkers with very little in between. He also placed Hal less scummy than Mith even though Steak’s case on them was the same (they lurked). I also don’t like this fold:


Like I said, this is my first real game with Steak and I got the impression in Cartoon that I should have a different baseline with Steak, so I’ll let others comment to see if I should be concerned.


YPM disappeared into Death Stranding, actually

I will look at Leith right now, hasn’t been on my radar but I think it’s because I got Leith as scum in telephone and I didn’t see the same things this game

I also really dislike this post from YPM. Not only is it the near opposite of all my reads (which is always a red flag to me because I'm the best :sun: ), it's just all meta. It reads like a "I need to pop in and set up that I've been here and following along with ~*~opinions~*~ and then I can buy time to read" post.

I can see what yuming was talking about with her third point. Reading the lead up to this vote, it seems like Leith was trying to get a logical reason to vote for Lumpen, if that makes sense.


Also, I’m not going to bold it, but I don’t like this town read on me. My read on Mith wasn’t really earth shattering. I believe in the case, but I don’t believe that someone could find me town based on that case alone. It reads like someone who knows what my flip will be and wants to look good. I think this is actually a stronger reason to vote Leith than D1.

As a side note, I have a bit of a blind spot with yuming. My whole picture of yuming’s meta is that she’s great as town but garbage as scum, so I always expect her to immediately scum slip or something as scum. That’s a long and unnecessary wind up to ask if yuming usually scum hunts based on other people cases of her?

Ah look, another post that hems and haws and says nothing:

-First line is a non-commitment to yuming's case, basically asking the thread if they give permission for his read
-Second line is a decent point, but where's the vote??
-Third line not only relies on a meta read, contributing nothing, but also negates his first two lines. If he recognizes that yuming is a blind spot for him, why is he using all her poo poo as a reason to move towards a vote...he doesn't make?

I would be voting for YPM here.

I have nothing to add past what's already been said and nothing will change. If you vote me you're voting town.

So you should really reconsider or give me the opportunity to confirm the role with another night result at the very least

------ final notes

This is scummy as poo poo, and scum want a second investigative role off the board:


I also tend to agree with the Mith = SK opinion as well, but was keeping that in the down-low as they would likely have been my target tonight.

Somber is being combative and has misrepresented my posts on a number of occasions.

I can see the Leith case.somewhat, but my opinion has always remained on yuming; which I have pressed as my case today

That's pretty much it. Nothing I've said has been a lie.

Inf pushing for us to allow him to stay around for a role that, at best, does nothing but give goofy flavor, and at worse is a power-role finder, which he will be outing publicly in thread tomorrow to "confirm" himself?? How are people entertaining this as town posting???

Inf asked PQ, the Nexus, essentially, to target him so that anything targeting Inf would instead target PQ. That means any roles that could confirm what Inf is doing now can't. "But the mod said" coming from Inf is not a confirmation by any means.

Re: Inf, I don’t get the case. It’s mostly based on the fact that he claimed a weird claim and added to it later on.

No reason for this switch, just a reason why he CAN'T vote for Inf.

Don’t like Leith popping up out of nowhere after being attacked. Don’t like Somber doing to Infi the exact same thing YPM did to me.

Chocolate town is some lol-worthy poo poo but I don’t think it’s a fake claim. It’s an insane insane fake claim. Could the scum have a utility role to find vanillas? Probably, but some have concluded a rolecop as the reason Hum died. So a vanilla cop and a role cop? I don’t know, I don’t think so.
