Won’t work, either this way or the other way around, because you and punk are both bumpers. Yami would always be the one to die in this situation.

In fact if Yami is the scum it makes no sense to vote for them because they will die to my vig overnight and town wins.

So we have to vote you or Punk today.

Vote yami and then target me at night imo

I JUST REALISED SOMETHING

IA's death flavour text (night 3): ejected. Not ejected and destroyed. Ejected.

Scum withheld the night kill on night 3. Why? Because they were the only scum left and they wanted to do an action to make themselves seem towny. And hey, I got launched by Yami and have been strongly inclined ever since to believe that they are town.

Was anybody launched by Yami night 4? Nobody claimed such. And Yami didn't volunteer the information when I asked in passing about night 2, although they did volunteer information regarding night 1. Yami didn't launch anybody night 4 because they were carrying out the kill on Clue.

Anyone get launched night 5? I'm betting not.

Sorry just had to get that out there, really going to bed now.

I don't know if we should still risk vote taste or punkreas today/vig yami tonight, or just vote yami off. How compelling is the evidence? You tell me

Lipstick Apathy
Back, and it's great the person I was gunning for and the person I backed up wholeheartedly both ended up town

I'm also in the hospital with long as hell hours, Eastern time - if I wake up early enough I try to participate just before leaving but you'll see that I won't be active for much of the same stretch each day

If I'm reading thing right, it's basically between me and taste (as I'm okay with throwing up hands and saying "Yami wins!" if he tagged in as scum)

I think the biggest question for me so far is on my voting strategy, but if makes more sense, when I'm looking at players I use their posts, see if there's any inconsistencies with how or why they're posting (which is why I suspected GW), and I look at previous days of who they ended up voting for - I don't typically use current voting as it's easy enough to change (vote for a scum buddy for cover and all that) unless I'm deciding to vote between two people and struggling to choose

Maybe that answers Yami's question?

Back to ##vote taste which I should have kept pushing

I double targeted GW with RWC Night 4 because we assumed GW works like a bumper.

As for Night 5, I deliberately withheld because the only one I can affect is you and I did not want to mess with your shot.

Safely affect, rather. I could have targeted GW but if she was lying it would have bounced

Sorry GW. My reasoning was if scum did have a juggernaut it could only be you, and there was evidence for both taste and punk truly being bumpers so shooting them would have been a lottery.

Scum targeted me, to nobody’s surprise, but I had my one-shot bumper (thanks Yami!) and I guess it deflected to GW too. Lucky lucky.

Looks like only one scum remaining after all. Let’s make sure we nail this one huh?

You're welcome

Interesting meta point. Punkreas has not been posting. I assumed they were offline/busy/asleep. And yet the night went by VERY quickly.

Has cpig been careless? If a player was not around to call the NK during the entire night then they cannot be scum.

I hate that this is an actual argument we need to consider. I don't like voting people based on stuff like this but i don't think it can be denied that Cpig very likely didnt need to wait on punk submitting anything

The way i see it, Maug is either an SK or town at this point. Since town has pretty much lost already anyway if it's the former, i am going to just assume it's the latter.

For me it can only be between punk and taste.

I'm going to re-read taste and punk to be sure, but right now I am leaning taste.

I said this to GW in the masonry but I found the stalling at the end of last day as well as the turn on Punk odd.

My gut feeling is that taste knew paranoid is gonna flip town and hesitated because of this. Mentioning Punk (who at that point had been a complete non-entity) could have been setup for today.

I think you’re the scum, Yami. But I also don’t think you have a redirect or BP right now so I’m fine to try and vig you tonight. Of Punk and taste I think taste is much more likely scum and am willing to vote them today if you and Punk are on board.

Because scum didn’t destroy anyone night 3 (compare with the flip flavour for night 5) and nobody has flipped a role that could prevent a scum kill on someone. Therefore scum withheld and the only reason I can think of for that is so they could carry out another action. Punk and taste are just bumpers and don’t have actions, whereas you used your action on me.

I think this is a bad argument. Bumpers are passive - you know this because you had an oneshot. Taste could have easily carried out a kill on top.

If anything, why wouldn't I just have killed you in that scenario?

There could be other explanations, like some sort of kill protection. Which would make sense considering you are a vigilante as neither of the flipped scum are safe from their own NK bouncing back on them, much less your vigs.

We are dealing with solo scum here, most likely. Killing Maug and then me seals the game.

Killing me and then Maug risks getting a vig shot bounced on you.

Because he wouldn't be one of the claimed bouncers?

My point is, why would I redirect someone that night rather than just kill them with 2 scum dead. I'd just be further behind for no good reason.
