somber claimed to cop grandicap

you claimed tracked someone to grandicap

you introduce the redirecter or rolecop as evidence for your conflicting results

it isn't rocket science from my perspective, and I'm surprised no one else mentioned it.

that doesn't really matter because scum you knows you never targeted IA anyways? the point is that your claim was easily falsifiable, because it was based on content in thread.

merk's claim follows entirely a town perspective. His railing on Somber like he had some sort of evidence that he was anti-town, countering when a gotcha moment was found. When IA said he didn't go anywhere, which put doubt on merk's results, he backed off.

Like that is an entirely town sequence of events with so many goddamn moving parts. It started the day before like merk is saying. The level of forethought required to go down that path is staggering.

merk is town, I'd be willing to stake things of value on it.

Why make a provably false claim web in thread? Why make it a he said she said that could very easily end up in a merk execution the following day? After scum already lost a member (and the godfather no less) day 1? There is some tangential scum benefits, sure, but there is a huge chance for it all to fall apart at the slightest breeze.
Especially when scum could just kill Somber at night. Blam, end of story. Sure, you get two town in me and Sandy then, but dead doc, dead cop, they could pick us off at their leisure.
merk isn't scum. Ain't no way, ain't no how.

Merk gets to claim tracker in thread and 'catch' the redirecter later. I think that merk is scum tracker.

And FWIW, there's no night action evidence pointing to IA because Merk's fakeclaim/claim in any sense points to him being redirected to somber. So merk pushing IA right out the gate doesn't track to me either. Why not lotus?

My vote out of the gate was based solely on IA’s d1 vote combined with the assumption that I was redirected last night again so my results are worthless.

Okay, I think I'm back to this.

I posted about why I think he's scum pertaining to this specifically earlier.

I think he knew their alignment and took pushing against their votes, and putting up the performative self vote to appear sincere and credible.

Definitely not discrediting anything, there, nope. But wait, there's more!

Idle Amalgam posted:

If we can't trust results, it is the best case I've got.

Straight up saying all results can't be trusted, despite there being no evidence of that much? Hmm....

Idle Amalgam posted:

Unless he was performing a bizarre gambit, it does seem like merk has to be confirmed town. The way he claimed all that unprompted.

[...]

As such, I still believe Grandi keeps a high chance of being scum regardless of probabilities or night actions regarding him.

Given what we now know? This is straight up contradictory. Do you trust merk? Cool, then he targeted you with a tracker. Got redirected onto Somber and saw Somber cop Grandi. And Somber who has flipped Cop? Got a Town result on Grandi.

Do you suddenly not trust merk? Why? What change to make you doubt him while simultaneously doubting the flipped confirmed Cop's results?

Oh and you're literally still doing it now:

Your snark makes it hard to answer your questions, but I also think you're jumping back and forth in chronology there.

Also FWIW the very first thing you quote as discrediting somber's result is me expressing what I thought was scummy about grandi.

What are you trying to correlate there?

Also this stance that I should be adamant with my trust when I have no means of obtaining any extra information, and the town consensus is there is a redirector is kind of baffling to me.

I'm operating with the thoughts that:
A. There's a redirector. As indicated by the merk tracking business. Unless this was a gambit, which while unlikely is not impossible.

B. I have no extra information and only my gut opinions and reads.

I think you should trust the flipped Cop on the one claimed result that by all account was not messed with, yes. Presuming a redirector exists, which is likely, N2 they targeted merk. merk claimed to track you. To Grandi. But would've gotten redirected to Somber. Who copped Grandi. And got a Town result.

Per Somber's claim for who he copped, Sand and Grandi came up Town but merk tracked somber... to merk. So merk and Grandi are Town.

Either there is, or there is not, a redirector. Either way, Grandi is Town.

Mafia edit.

If redirector exists, N1 they redirected Somber from Sandwolf onto merk. N2, they redirected merk from IA to Somber.

I saw someone visit Grandicap d2. I attempted to target IA that night.

Thinking this through a bit more, I think it is probable that somber had a town investigation on Sandwolf n1 and I was redirected onto myself n1 and then again onto Somber n2.

The thinking there is that somber basically did nothing d1. Why would scum target him with a Redirector n1? On the flip of that, I was on Steak all day - I am a more likely Redirector target.

It’s not clean, but I think it’s probable SW is also town.

That would make me, SW, and Grandicap town in this theory. I also think Hal is town.

That leaves Lotus, Toal and IA with one mis-elimination available. I like the Toal vote today.

Actually, another possible theory is that there is a Busdriver.

N1: Busdriver targets Somb and me
N2: Busdriver targets Grandi and Voodoo (IA, as scum, kills Grandi which goes to Voodoo). ; or Busdriver targets IA and Somb.

The Busdriver theory seems very unlikely to me.

I just don't think that scum pick out merk to redirect n1? Also making merk target someone trackable both n1 and n2? merk claims after somber in away to imply the existence of a redirecter. (claims that he saw someone visit grandi, somber claimed in thread earlier that he visited grandi). 1 GF, 1 vanilla, 1 tracker, and 1 doc and 1 cop and 8 vanilla is a good setup.
