The hallways of this high school are never ending. Staircases that lead to many different floors, all somehow different, yet all full of classrooms with eyes just glaring out the windows.

There is a scream that echoes through the halls. Everyone races to gymnasium where the sound came from, and there lying in the stands after being pelted with baseballs is Sporkchan. They been hit so much that it's not trivial to recognize their face.

Sporkchan, Venture Capitalist Series B Funding, ONE-SHOT KICK, Venture Capitalist aligned (group survivor), was killed night 1

Nope, not mine.

Also I'm rather bummed and very surprised at cube's flip; I was working on what I thought was a pretty solid theory. Honestly I think it's still a solid theory; I assumed that scum are running a dream heist and they can't win without diving as deep as possible. Because without an incentive, why would scum have ever gone to sleep in the first place? If they all stayed awake, on D2 they'd get a town that had suddenly lurched extremely close to LYLO, and as an added bonus, an increasing amount of towns making faster votes that literally could not vote right. And since cube and egalz were so clearly desperate to dive, well... I was pretty certain and now I feel bad.

Also, just for bookkeeping purposes, looks like we've lost egalz, hal, obama, shwinne, and zoya to other levels/waking up.

Because my dreaming action failed but it was just to go deeper and I assume it was because I didn�t have enough posts.

My dreaming failed. I'm not surprised, I expected it. Happy to be here with you lovely people and one of you is probablly scum.

Like, we don't know if one of Hal, Egalz [et al. 'cuz me lazy] is daed or just in a deeper dream. Also I wonder if they got a surprise player dropshipped in.

Anyhow, which one of you is scum? Need answer moderately fast.

But so did Cube, and look where that got us.

why would I possibly? And if I did, why wouldn't the first words out of my mouth been "okay guys this is how many scum there are"?

No, of course not.

Considering that I had to drag the fact that you're 3P out, you can't be mad if I wanted more info from you when you already insinuated that you think scum might have a larger population here

My intended tone was incredulity, not hostility. And I don't think that I insinuated that? What I said was that I expect there's a game mechanic incentivizing the scum to dream dive, since absent one, it's an incredibly obvious optimal play to not dream at all. And if I'm right, that means that at least some of them would have kept going down.

Also dude, this exchange was very early on in D1 and literally my third post:

Technically yes. I can't win unless the town wins, but the town winning alone doesn't give me the victory.

I don't think you had to "drag that out of me" particularly hard, you just kept asking afterwards even though my answer never changed.

Not sure if I got RB'd because there should theoretically be no other reason for me not to dream deeper

Scum may be rbing claimed vanilla to keep them from descending and getting powers? Doubles to frame me for the nk, but spork is a weird target that makes no sense for me based on the votes and suspicions. Maer or rwc would make more sense

I�d gladly vote egalz or shwinne, but given their disappearance I find myself quite stymied. Maybe voodoo, just because I don�t have any read on him at all yet and I mistrust that on principle. But that�s very thin broth.

reading tea leaves:

JoseValasquez is town with a power role like he claimed who stayed behind in dream1
Wologar was killed because a) he was power posting maybe a power role? b) to free up a spot for sandwolf or maerlyn
one of yuming or pmuzz stayed behind to NK

Josef is either lying and stayed behind to do NK or was RB'd to free a spot for maerlyn. RBing 3rd place implies zoya and hal may be scum.
