I think even if we're looking for a traitor though, ignoring voting analysis as a whole might be a bit much. The cases on the flipped scum were generally pretty good. Lih was mechanically caught, but even before then there was discussion of that case. If an uninformed party exists who was disincentivized to vote scum, it might be possible to see it through their posting to some degree. Though I still say that's an if. There could have just been 5 scum and salad's role info is a red herring

Holy poo poo are we still litigating this?

We kill one today, we kill the other one tomorrow, then we kill Lih, then we kill Windward (who has had a vote parked on *me* all day)

Why are y’all fukken dragging your feet

sandwolf sticks out as wanting spork gone d4 and I think the traitor would have been able to see that spork wasn't scum, so I could see a traitor voting for spork over nat, though the 3p fakeclaim muddies this somewhat.

despite this with sandwolf, I don't think it's sandwolf as regular scum and I don't think sandwolf's a traitor either. reason I don't think he's a traitor is partly rolebased because he's clearly a real defender. there are only two defenders and having a way to detect medics and defectors when one is a traitor seems not very useful if you don't know that info. from a posting perspective, I don't think if sandwolf was anti-town and uninformed that he'd happen to point at 2 scum and still keep beating that drum

windward had a meaningful role in busting two scum. her visit to salad n2 can't have been fake because of cube's track. I don't think she's scum, and she's definitely not a traitor since d5 she brought forth the info about lih immediately

Hm, Lih and Sandwolf sounded a bit too scummily eager to latch onto the easiest shade for today if Spork is town. And I have seen people do a lot of really crazy poo poo as town. From where I'm sitting, Spork also looks townier for coming forward when he could've sat back and just let me take the heat instead.

Of course if Nat's really a 3P that kills the "wanna deflect off scumbro" vibes, but not the "no one can give me poo poo for this, let's lock in a town slam dunk today" vibes.

posts like this make me think bif isn't scum. if bif is a traitor she could be going after a suspected 3p with sincerity, but there were already things to see with lih such as calling the push for the spork vote that makes me think bif is more likely on the up and up purely from a posting-analysis perspective

I'm going to admit up front I don't have a case to go with that but I'm making sure to put my vote there for now to remind myself Disco Anne was the exe Gulag wanted most on D1 so this is a reminder to myself to go looking at DA's posts in light of the flips

I'm actually hmming at mona a bit here. Jumping on someone on an observation such as this seems strange from the perspective of someone who can investigate killing power. You know, like wait and see and try to get a night result later without drawing too much focus to yourself.

come to think of it, isn't it odd that mona's role has a special response to finding the artillery controller when the controller was scum?

i think it's nat & mona now. mona is way too invested in defending this claimed 3p he says he has a gunsmith result on, while i have a harder time seeing most of the people who've been defending spork as scum.

it's probably not both nat and spork because that'd be a lot of extra kills for scum, though i guess one of them could be the 'collaborator' mentioned in salad's flip?

lih did this knowing nat was gonna flip scum. in other words, it was a paper theory that would never have to be pursued further because mona would never be voted out before nat

I am a Drone controller like cube, but my drones maintain surveillance on targets, giving me a list of actions taken on them each night

this claim needs scrutiny I think as well. from d4:

Who received a message last night?

There is something going on here with busdrives and redirects

AFancyQuestionMark posted:

According to my understanding, wolo was swapped with nep nep and died

So if your drones show the actions taken on your targets and you saw that someone received a message, who we then determined to be wolo from the surrounding discussion, then presumably you tried to apply a drone to me to see what actions are taken against me each night, but ended up putting a drone on wolo instead. If that's the case, why have you instead been seeing what's happening to bif since then?

Humalong seemingly has an alibi for last night per AFQM and a claimed non-killer result from Mona. They obviously can't both be lying and even if somehow they were, that would still suggest at these numbers that Humalong should be on the up and up.

I don't know how the artillery works. It could be random. It could be directable with a charged power. Hell, for all I know, there could be a random selection mechanic where any one of two or three different players, maybe of entirely different alignments, get control over who is targeted in the day and it's only random once all of them are eliminated sort of like Umineko 1's stakes. The specific post was about if this soft-cleared Nep-Nep though and my verdict there is "could be, I'd believe it" in spite of the fact that if it targeted you or Zoya or Grandi or Sandwolf my verdict would instead be "IDK, I wouldn't assume that right now".

this doesn't read to me like an interaction between two scum, traitor or otherwise. hard pass on voting meen outside of the "hider scary!" reasoning

While thinking through anything that might be brought up reasonably as a problem with using Wind and Mona together, I remembered that we never did figure out how that one kill went off originally without the presence of a juggernaut.

I think I just figured out how it worked:

No idea what all happened on the other nights, but I'm willing to bet Crab empowered salad and that's how he got past the roleblock.

Oh hey, I completely forgot about that empowerer flip but yeah, that would explain a possible jugg kill (or at least, maybe that's why salad reacted so incredibly weirdly about the roleblock and jugg talk)

Yeah, I'm still thinking about that since Nat was pretty widely suspected. It's just that I don't know that it really gained Monathin any towncred, even though his information was correct, so I'm not sure it had that much use as a scum move.

I do kind of wonder why Bif sent her message to Grandi last night if they were already in a masonry together. Like, wouldn't it have been better to send it to someone external?

So lih gets voted out d5. Put yourself in the shoes of the last scum, whoever they are. Why was there no kill n5? If it's afqm, sure, that explains it nice and easy. But presumably this person is the last scum and is in a desperate situation. Between grandi, afqm, mon and you there are 4 dangerous power roles that could result in an instant checkmate, and 3 from the perspective of a scum hiding within those claims. Yet the kill was withheld. If it's not afqm, then I think the goal of that someone else would have been to make us assume whoever you roleblocked was suspicious, and they'd have to be reasonably confident they wouldn't be the target.

Why would I willingly trace myself back to Gulag as scum. Why would I reveal that I had a specific condition to out the artillery controller if I knew the artillery controller was scum (and it was in fact the basis for Why I presumed Nat was 3p and not scum like he flipped), what does anything I have done so far gain me as scum that isn't a net loss due to losing members of the scumteam

I know we're being paranoid here in the late stages of the game but come the gently caress on

I literally openly suspected lih for throwing the worst possible shade on me the day before we flipped her as scum. Lih wasn't just mechanically caught and you're doing a lot of heavy lifting by saying you and bif were already pressuring Nat and that lih was not similarly in the view of other people the day before.

Lih got turbo'd before even getting to speak up due to the rather open and shut case. Otherwise I'd think there would have been at least -discussion- that day. But yes there was prior discussion. I was even part of it as d4 I voted lih for awhile because I said the defense of salad late d3 looked really bad.

Anyway, to your credit, I expected if you were scum that you might say any number of those things, but I was also expecting you to throw in my face the hard evidence that is the first line of lih's role pm. These are mostly thoughts I wanted to get out here, though I don't really think realistically it's gonna be you today, nor do I know that it actually should be, since if I'm indeed lost in the clouds maybe you'll just pick right and we'll be able to prove it since we can't lose by missing today or d8

My role PM literally said that I gain a special result when I find the artillery controller. I had no other context for what that might be - and if you'll recall there was plenty of other discussion about how the artillery controller could be a 3P, since at the time what we had to go on was a scum flip that had Blastproof.

Like yeah I'm not gonna deny I made a bad call there but also there's basically no point having this conversation until we flip some of the more likely suspects instead of the claimed gunsmith
