I’d normally say I thinks it’s uncommon for two scum to be leading votes on d1 or d2, especially with a full scum team to defend them, but last game I was in had sand and Hal as voteleaders day 2 and I’ve already been stupidly wrong assuming logical play on scum this game.

Are you sure?

Because this looks like you were suggesting to vote bif.

Either way this is a terrible thought process that doesn't make sense for a townie to have either way. Which is exactly why I questioned you back in the day.

Why even float such an idea?

Look sometime when you aren’t scum we can discuss mafia theory and how lights out mafia is hugely in favor of town. The execution is towns main weapon which is why allowing them more executions for each scum kill is super powerful. The inverse of a scum team with multiple kills.

But why would you ever float a stupid idea like that.

But thanks again for telling me I don’t know how to think about a game I’ve been playing for twenty years.

Yep. Early in mafia you often don’t know about people and bif was involved in a strange tangle of lies. If I felt confident it would have also eliminated hum I would have seriously considered it. Just as I would seriously consider executing two people im unsure about early in every game of mafia.

I think Voodoo is probably the remaining scum. If that is true I'm not entirely sure who the SK would be.

Maybe it's Deadmeat though - that instant vote on the doctor seems a bit strange by a newbie if they were townie. But that's something for later probably.

I am a little worried about Deadmeat being completely overlooked, but it could just be Beet and Voodoo. Beet could be SK and more able to sound like a reasonable townie also doing a bit of scumhunting for real sometimes. Voodoo could be more likely scum for actually taking a shot at keeping merk around a while longer. It wasn't a done deal when things had been so dug in on me already.

Bif read yamis posts please. They are cherry-picking and twisting things in the hope people won’t actually read them.

Like that exchange was with you, in response to your questions, and you didn’t seem to find it odd then because it was answering a hypothetical you posed.

Yes, I absolutely thought merk was town. You all absolutely thought meen was scum. I was wrong. You were wrong. But I’m not the one trying to twist something here.

I think yamis vote is a bus. I think scum would be scared once toalp outed merk and want to jump it. Yami is right that they pushed merk hard from that out and I agree with them. Hence it’s a bus not a “you made some weak case or something”

Yamis total defense has been to say I can’t think about anything, about how a doctor claim should be considered unquestionable, and now I was trying to get you killed when I thought you were town when both of those statements are false.

Yeah, if you think I was trying to save merk as a scum move that’s fair vote me. But otherwise I’ve wanted to vote hum who was lying and yami, and I guess whoever tommu voted day 1 but I can’t really speak to that.

Anyway it occurred to me that I should probably just state why I'm reasonably sure I stopped a kill last night - I docced myself.

I got some flavor about my room being trashed which makes me think I was attacked.

Since whoever attacked me already knows this they will probably just attack me again so I will probably die tonight anyway. And I don't think we have a way of deducing if it was SK or scum that did it.

Actually no way trying to turn that post into “I think bif is town but I want to execute them” is a genuine town thought process.

One thing that is twigging me a bit is that the double kills vs single kills have been alternating, like maybe an SK Hyde can only kill every other night and that's why Yami's been so unusually cagey about "the Hyde mechanic"

Yeah might as well not say anything, if you laid out all the mechanics and poo poo we either believe you or don't.

I'll probably end up voting Voodoo cause whenever I consider you or Beet or Deadmeat, it always seems to come back to Voodoo having to be the other one. Preferring to kill scum over SK to stop a jugg is nice, but getting that bit exactly right is less important than making sure we hit one of the badguys period.

If it's yami or me then I guess ask away. I have a friend in town tomorrow so probably won't be posting much but can check in to answer anything in the morning before he flies in.

There is no way I think yami is being genuine at this point, even down to the whole I can't explain how my doc works response despite calling for a mass claim last game day. I can completely get calling me scum for defending merk, and yeah replacing in is a bitch during the week, especially when I've been at work or asleep during most of the open times so it wasn't until today that I've really had a chance to actually read and respond to things. But that's not what yami is doing. Yami thinks even questioning them is ridiculous for a townie, despite meen doing so yesterday as well. Yami is also riding that doc claim hard despite it being far from something that should ever clear anyone. After that yami starts cherry picking quotes to build something out of nothing, even down to a semantic battle about whether I thought bif was town when it's pretty clear yami asked me that directly and I directly answered back on day 2.

Go back and read the case on meen. It's full of "no townie would use this logic" and a bunch of stuff about critical thinking and meen's lack thereof and therefore meen is an SK (and maybe scum). It's the same case that yami is making on me. This is like textbook scum casing, trying to present logical fallacies and contradictions as somehow a blueprint for scum behavior. Which is just not the case. townies are illogical all the time. townies contradict themselves all the time. It's not illogical to question someone or not take someone at face value, and relying on claims and kill flavor as some sort of logical keystone to what a townie would or would not do is almost always a recipe for disaster. It makes it easy to make cases though. Yami has played and modded way more than enough games to know this.

Just for the record in case I die:

My current thought is that voodoo is at the very least non-town.

I think Deadmeat makes more sense as scum and Beet makes more sense as scum than SK.

So my first thought after flip would be that depending on what Voodoo flips.

Can you make this a bit more clear as in, if Voodoo flips scum, I think X, if Voodoo flips SK, I think Y? (if Voodoo flips town, welp, guess we just pray at that point)

If Voodoo flips scum... I'd have to still debate whether Yami could be SK. The doctor claim really gives me pause. Beet makes more sense as scum than SK, but he would be the main other suspect here.

I don't think Yami can be scum though, so if Voodoo flips SK I'd look at Beet vs Deadmeat. Prolly Beet.
