I think Spoonsy and JX setup that “messenger” claim to draw heat from Spoonsy. It’s right there in the case I made. Time stamps way too close from the bus to the claim, JX getting the fifth vote down, etc.

Explain ending D1 voting Sandwolf and intentionally saying I no longer suspect Sandwolf at the start of D2 as anything other than a breadcrumb of my result

I couldn’t say, either are possible.

Asking town to reflect and assess strategy of unflipped scum is a ludicrous setup. Scum do strange things for reasons and distilling that is impossible.

I have never said that I said it seems more likely if the claim is true. Buddying up to me isn't really a thing merk needs to do, I could buy he is trying to buy some cred after my town flip though. Still think he has no need to make the effort to go back through my posting if he is scum though, just let me get finished off quietly

Both Taste and DBD cleared NGO, so I thought maybe Taste/DBD/NGO, but it sheds no light on the eccocop result. If your track is true, why does DBD lie to verify NGO's roll claim if NGO is actually town?

I am not even going to bother arguing with taste though, he's either scum or for some reason has decided not to analyze anything and is tunneled on me but I think scum is more likely.

I am out of powers so if I die today that is fine, it will sort of clear sandwolf for the rest of you at least

If it IS me though, PLEASE look at DBD tomorrow

Look at all the scum smoke around him...

N1 he claims to have visited Tokes, is seen at the scene of Jen's murder, comes out with an alignment-neutral claim but somehow didn't pay enough attention to his own role to understand how his results would have worked with Jen

Today he claims to have visited a role that was already public, chose to use his power on someone who's role was also alignment neutral (scum bodyguard is very plausible in a game with a known non-scum NK) instead of using it to confirm the claimed cop AND potentially get an extra cop result (much more likely to be useful than an extra bodyguard). And of course I tracked him going nowhere, the second time in the game someone has contradicted his claim.

Sure, N1 he could have been redirected and N3 I could have been redirected. But if I was redirected, why would scum redirect me who hadn't claimed anything over a cop, a rolecop who copies roles and a JOAT with an unknown power? So I doubt I was redirected, and if I was it's because some of these other roles are actually scum.

He has to say he did something last night and verifying a known role is a safe thing to do.

Or I really was redirected, scum DBD copied a bodyguard role for his team and figured he would clear NGO for cred.

We still don't know who killed Jen (unless it was somehow pera) so I have a very hard time believing none of spoonsy/taste/DBD are scum.

Unless you think everyone in the masonry was town and Jen X's roll was hosed with, scum already knew who the members were, so wouldn't need to gunsmith them.

And if they were all town, who would know and be able to send Spoonsy the message about who the members were?

Spoonsy either knew because he is scum or because scum sent him a message I think, and my thought on why scum would send that message was more that Spoonsy suddenly coming out with strange information when already having the vote piling on could draw more votes to Spoonsy. At least it did seem to heighten the growing suspicion for a moment anyway, and if the members hadn't all verified the claim I think Spoonsy could have went down D1.

But since there have been no more messages, maybe Spoonsy is just scum.

Also the "Hum, no I meant DBD" stuff could be read as just making stuff up and then realizing that Hum visited pera not Jen X and needing to make up why you hosed up like that.

But I really am reminded of how Spoonsy was told that he saw someone at the door of someone who was killed in Harry Potter because scum made him see that, and brought that to town with no skepticism at all, even though it was very clearly outside of and flavored differently than his water roll. Which is why my first response to Spoonsy posting the list and accepting it at face value gave me the initial reaction that the list could be a lie, because I would expect Spoonsy to accept a lie at face value.

Your response is worthless because it shows you have decided I am scum and aren't going to consider how it would fit with town play.

Asking town to wifom why a player would choose to do X or Y as scum is an unanswerable trap question because town doesn’t have the scope of the board scum does. No amount of pussyfooting around that changes the inherent principle

Your very question asks me to consider why *you, as scum* might do something and then you frame me considering *you, as scum* as being unreasonable

I think it's fair to ask you (which is what the original question was) that if you think I am a scum gunsmith then do you think it is likely I would go out of my way to try and clear sandwolf D2. It's also (imho) done in a way that it would be a breadcrumb post-flip. If you think I am 100% lying about my role than my question was moot but I want you on record saying which way you feel about that.

Anything anyone does or says in the game could be done as scum or town. Part of our job is sometimes to assess the likelihood that that action would be done by scum/town, especially with claims. Is whatever else you think I have done SO SCUMMY on balance that the high likelihood if I really am a gunsmith (joat) that I am a town gunsmith by the way that claim played out and my posting happened can just be written off as "well you can't ask me what scum would do here".

I'm not even saying that it should clear me, I am saying you don't seem to even consider I could be telling the truth there and analyzing what happened. Instead you are saying "I have decided you are scum, asking me to look at your play and see if it would have scum motivation is pointless, because I have already decided"

Do you even want to be convinced I am not scum? Because how I am going to do it is showing how my play lines up with what town would do and you saying "well scum can do anything town does" doesn't give me much to work with.

I made my points, you have disagreed with them, I said ok, moving on, and you are suddenly acting like I am running from you. Where can this conversation go that will be helpful to this game?
