that's actually a lie, I'm going to go bake some cookies but then I'll be paying attention.

Plastic I think would still be my top pick. I invited after they made the somber case yesterday but looking back I feel PA was more worried about just getting a case down to be participating and not really trying to find scum. I know it’s the weekend and I’ve been busy too but this feeels like they just posted and bounced the minute people stopped talking about them.

I don’t think I’m voting Hal. His responses to merk feel genuine. I’ve been in the same position where I felt merk try’s to unfairly reframe posts when he thinks your scum. I’ve been fine with his posts today.

Not trying to make this suspenseful or anything but I know I’m not posting for a bit once kid wakes up so yeah just deciding between somber and merk right now assuming nothing else happens.

##vote merk.

I’m not really thrilled about any of the vote candidates but I guess I feel least good about merk being town.

Final thoughts:

I don’t usually do this connection stuff, but I see a town loss coming. Also, I know no one ever reads the dead town‘s posts beyond a little trickle at day start. Here goes.

Theory 1:
If poop is scum, voodoo aggressively pushing Steak over him yesterday is scum defending a buddy.

Theory 2:
If poop is town, b- coming out of the gate today to have us vote poop on a vote analysis and then never pushing it again is scummy. It was a compelling first case that he basically let go.

Theory 3:
It could be somber. Him sitting so close to elimination and not getting there is telling. Look for an early bus vote that someone couldn’t get out of.

Theory 4:
If Hal is scum, he distanced from plastic on my d1 case. Saying he could get behind the vote but never did, never looked into it and never brought it up again.

Theory 5:
Stop eliminating me when I’m the most active player just because you don’t like what I’m doing. This is like four straight town eliminations on no case.

I'm going back over things right now but ##vote merk.

Binus might have been right about a poop/merk bus yesterday so I want to look at that more closely and when it turned from poop to steak (before deadline day I think I noticed a shift more towards steak). I also need to read poop closer, I'll admit I haven't given him much attention D2 but some of his posts leave a bad taste in my mouth, I don't know if it's just his attitude or if he has an agenda.

That’s fine and probably true, but I think your call out of voodoo was more of a stretch.

This post you refer to was a single line that wasn’t a case, just idle speculation. Not even considering your “you should ignore this” stance, there isn’t much that warrants a response there.

He certainly had some strong reads D1. Maybe a bit more tentative today but once again it sounds like you are misrepresenting people here, seems to be your MO this game and I don’t think that’s your town approach.

##vote merk

you can disagree with a case without thinking the person making it is scum.

you say merk is misrepresenting people. isn't that what every wrong case is ultimately?

Hal Insandenza posted:

Hi apologies I was traveling all day yesterday and trying to spend a bit of time with the family before I leave again. I will be around tonight though. I’m not surprised people are voting me, I haven’t been great. I will say that I wasn’t trying to shift blame to voodoo, I said I went back and looked at steak because voodoo pushed me too, but I wasn’t saying I was voting him because of voodoo. Merk trying to paint false narratives about me this game, thought you were better than that

do you think your read on merk is influenced by his attack on you? i dunno, i feel a lot of empathy with hal here but i don't think he's correct about merk as scum. i don't think hal is a great candidate either as i look back through these responses since voodoo cited them.

is there any chance of a vote other than merk and i?

-merk infers voodoo (theory 1) and somber (theory 3) are scum, but votes somber
- somber immediately votes voodoo
- merk switches from somber to voodoo
- merk says he’d also vote plastic
- voodoo immediately votes plastic

I have no idea what to think of this but I’m raising an eyebrow.
