I think the scum got way too excited at potential victory and tipped their hand by applying too much pressure.

Consider: why does scum merk try to win with gavel instead of a vote on a townie

No idea, but me not being able to explain that in no way precludes merk from being scum.

does merk not even count toward the 7 players required to gavel? because if not, the gavel actually requires 80% of the non-merk players to vote it

Indeed! So, we should endeavour to explain it.

We're at MYLO now. With a day town vig, we reach LYLO. With a town vote, we lose. A day scum vig or a scum vote continue the game.

If a scum charging vig is active during LYLO we lose.

Scum has two possible win conditions:

-Vote a townie
-Have both merk and a charging vig (random/dy/fry), use both powers today

The second one is not only much more complicated, it is *harder* to accomplish because a vote would require less people to cooperate

Do you truly believe this is scum motivated?

he loves this meta, and he doesn't want to contradict it.

this is true. at least, up until it reaches the point of accusing me of *always* being a bad town player. i do like my meta, because it usually keeps me safe from nightkills. as for contradicting it, why would i go out of my way to play different than what feels natural? this isn't some "premeditated" meta, it happened because of how i play the game. and im not gonna contradict someone calling me town for meta reasons. why would i?

Hmm. Ok, thinking, between AT-LOW, Fry, and dy, I’m not sure who would be charging vig in this scenario. I’ll have to think about this.

If only someone had a role who could say, investigate such an under-the-radar person to see if they had performed a kill! Why didn't Steak ever investigate Toalpaz? In fact, if he was so concerned about under-the-radar scum, as he states, why would he target me and and random, two higher-volume posters?

1. i wanted to investigate you more than toalpaz
2. i had already claimed by the end of day 2 and i'd never tell the truth about whom i plan to investigate

to expound on the point:

my criteria for choosing targets was 1) somebody i think might be scum. and 2) somebody who is a decent person to choose to commit the kill, based on the feelings at end of day

He is clearly and intentionally drawing attention to the fact that he wants to hammer. This is not subtle. He had previously expressed interest on Solus. He could have just hammered quietly and continued the game.

is it not obvious by now? i WANTED townies to know my role. you're right that if i wanted NOBODY to know my role i would have shut up and not said anything. i wanted to clue townies, so i used code that i decided townies were more likely to understand (due to the logic requiring an intimate understanding of a townie mindset to see my motivations for the hammer)

Let me know if you see anything wrong with my analysis

(Of course, if you're not me, feel free to add me to the list of people who could be a charging vig, as random did)

I mean, either way I agree that merk is being scummy as heck and steak seems to be right there with him. Thus my vote.

These past few pages went by very quickly and were very clearly scum pushing hard to end quickly.

Still haven't caught up, had no time tonight. Gonna do a scummy lookin pop in to ask what's the gavel count is at?

The fact that it's slowly picked up steam but hasnt exploded makes me feel like it might be on target even if I don't agree with the logic behind it.

Also, I skimmed and saw people claiming and poo poo. I will not be doing that, just fyi.

merk cased SNG

who still vehemently opposes merk's plan? random

merk was at -3 and was not scumrushed

who else was on merk besides fry? SNG and random

If merk is town, and therefore scumrushable, then scum was probably already on merk and the lack of scumrush is meaningless

Or..uh.. merk is scum and therefore is not being scum rushed. Makes you think, right?
