N1 I target Merk, and hit Sandwolf with a masonry power.

That is the crux of the discussion.

No, I saw your big post I just had no idea what the hell it was talking about. But I read over it again. So you recruit town to a masonry and kill scum, said you would go after merk but ended up with sand somehow?

I don't see merk not being voted today, but why is merk doing this if he is scum? Toalp is saying scum will die. I can see scum taking the that toalp was bluffing, but if so I'm not going to then use a busdriver to mess with the results. It feels like it outs way too much information too early in the game for no real upside.

Toalpaz posted:

so that the investigation or hits sandwolf

controlling what town does with it's powers is the end goal of a scum bus driver, being given the opportunity to control a investigation/vig by offering yourself up to be a target makes sense.

Sure, that is possible. But:

1. I don't think of merk as a night action gambit scum player, especially on day 1.
2. That would mean you were willing to run a gambit like that as a cop on day 1, which seems risky, so I'm not sure I would assume it was some sort of investigation.
3. If I'm scum night 1 I'm using the busdriver to help hide whoever is doing the kill. If I'm doing the kill I don't offer myself up to the gambit.
4. Merk is a pretty common night target, so

well, number 4 actually isn't a bad idea to use the busdriver on merk out of general caution.

Still feel like it's a bit of stretch, but I need to read him again now after that last part.

I don’t know Voodoo this feels like you’re going out of your way to derive reasons merk isn’t scum. You don’t acknowledge the possibility that merk was scum with a bus driving teammate who saw early bait to maybe confirm themselves or send a kill astray or something because you say you think “merk isn’t that type of player.”

Feels somewhat pointless to answer this but, yes? I don't think merk would run a gambit like that as scum. I think of merk as keeping it simple and playing the odds. no need to bus or make wild plays when you can just lay on your numbers, and considering it didn't look like he had any heat on day 1 why try to make a big move if it isn't necessary?

Some crazy third party claim, though, that makes a bit more sense.

Toalp outed merk.

Is there really anything else to consider right now?

Honestly the only thing I’m wondering is if it’s better to execute bif on the off chance that hum is an executioner and maybe leaves the game for fulfilling a win condition. It’s like a two for one execution.

But that would require this all to be true and probably for hum to have volunteered the info because bringing it up now is probably too late

I don’t know. Nothing about her feels scummy so far. I hadn’t read her closely yesterday before merk claimed as I was just starting my read of merk at the time. Also nothing about her posts today pinged me.

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.

Some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help

I'm not trying to lurk, this game is opening when I'm asleep and a lot happens before I can catch up. Day 1 I was catching up reading merk and bif when merk made his claim and then got hammered. And I was definitely defending merk because I really didn't think he was scum and would pull something that stupid.

Yesterday you already had hum in a lie by the time I looked at the thread, and I still want to know why he thought it was worth outing bif that much to lie about it. There was also talk about a missing roleblock and minus was soft claiming and I spent a lot of the day trying to figure out if I had missed stuff day 1 and read people over. I'm still not exactly sure where the missing roleblock stuff is coming from. I also didn't even realize deadmeat was in the game until I saw his posts catching up last night.

I have a couple town reads but honestly nothing much else right now. I won't pretend to fake it. Assuming this game lasts long enough I was hoping to reread the entire thread tonight and try to actually catch up.

Also I don't know if it was toalp or yami who thought we were in MYLO but I don't mind the mass claim. 7 alive and two deaths tonight would put us at 4 potentially so probably not a bad idea.

honestly I didn't even realize how few players were left until I started writing down thoughts on them. Guess I'm starting with deadmeat as a reread.

Toalp, you had suspicion of yami on day 2(?). Something about knowing who did the scum kill and who did the SK kill. Is there a reason you dropped it? I remember thinking it was one of your best points when I was reading the case on merk.

I don't think deadmeat is scum. Seems like it's his fourth game, and he interacts a TON with his scummates early on if he is scum. Which, good move if you can pull it off but I don't think of new scum players being that involved with their scummates early in the game.

Plus I think the very late vote on Bif was not a scum move.

##vote yami

If I’m scum and merk gets outed day 2 like that I’m probably bussing merk earlier rather than later. Looking back at day 2 I think yami fits that description. Is casting shade on toalp after toalp thinks they caught yami in a slip, then is immediately just rolling along with toalps post about a bus driver needs to come clean.

I need to go read yamis posts on day 1 re merk and minus but I think yamis push on merk is scummy enough to vote on its own.

I really wish you all would stop hammering so quickly. We had less than 24 hours yesterday.

I still think it’s yami. I think toal was right about yami knowing who killed circl. I think pushing onto meek is exactly what scum would do (I did it in one of my last scum games when steak got caught out doing something stupid).

I know there is a doc claim but (1) scum doctor is one of my favourite roles (2) I know it’s one of grands favourite roles and he helped with setup and balance (3) minus died at night so it’s entirely plausible to give scum a protection role (4) and yami has enough experience to not be pushing “I’m a doctor I can’t be scum” this hard.

It’s early though. I never got a chance to follow up on beet because you all hammered so quick and I just got out of a four hour English proficiency exam so I’m going to get some food then enjoy the weekend a bit (and probably mad rush my TD entry this week).

I did reread bif and don’t want to vote her. I stand by not wanting to vote meat because I really don’t think they are scum with how they interacted with merk and minus.

I love that your defense is that scum never bus, especially in a situation where their scum mate was caught through night actions, and that a jailor precludes a scum doctor.

I'm a big fan of how this just entirely ignores day 2 and is mostly based on setup/mod spec at LYLO too.

While mentioning bif's d2 merk interactions.

:thunk:

It is entirely based on day 2. You saw merk got caught in a gambit so decided to get in front of it. It’s a super common scum strategy. I’ve done it many times. Hell last time I did it with steak merk caught on to it because it’s so obvious and luckily we killed merk before he could convince the rest of town on it.

Also toalp catching you talking about who did what night kills was day 2.

So let’s be clear. I think you are scum 100% based on how you approached merk on day 2 and on how much you are leaning on a doctor claim to clear you.

If you think I’m scum cool vote me. If you think it’s scummy to question your actions then vote me too. But you are trying to defend your self with hyperbole and “it’s so obvious” and questioning people’s intelligence and it’s either just an old trope or scum behaviour.
