To these wondering about the coloured numbers at the end of my posts, I'm budgeting my posts over the course of the day, and I'm gonna be kind of cryptic over why so I don't accidentally infodump or something. This is likely going to continue for every day phase, so I'm trying my best to go quality over quantity in my posts to compensate. That includes the ISO's I promised on Wilgy and BDH I think.
I only see two possibilities as to sig's role, either he is Shawn or Yang. In either case, lynching him right now is relatively pointless as the only outcomes are 1) We waste a lynch and realistically aren't any closer to determining which of the roles he is or 2) We lynch the only townie actually able to stop Ying/Yang from killing. Speaking directly to INH (and for some reason, MM) - lynching sig isn't the biggest priority. As I said before, I'd much rather explore the possibility that he's Yang and try to find his partner.
Anyway, I want to talk about Russ 2.0, because I don't know how I want to feel about him so I figure talking might help me through it.
Since he replaced back, these are the posts that ping me.

Russ, explain to me why I would save Scotty Day 1 only to turn against him Day 2. Detail your theory as much as you can. What makes it "probable" that Scotty was saved?
If it looked like he was going down regardless, makes sense to hop on the bandwagon as unobtrusively as possible. And given how many votes he got, another vote save waspretty improbable. Add to that, that it was likely any teammates he had knew he would survive anyway, and why the hell not pile on and hide in the crowd?
As you say, you turned against Scotty D2. Are you still against him? Because this reads to me as a soft defense. Which would make perfect sense if in fact you are both bad and Scotty can now be lynched, if you think you have a chance of getting me first and delaying his death another day.
Scotty wrote:If sig is good, then Day 1 voting is basically a wash. If I am lynched and come back as town, how would that skew your "he was saved" idea?
I don't like the cut of your jib, Russ 2.0.
Of course you don't, lol. You're trying to live, and I'm trying to get you killed.
Not sure how to respond to your question....clearly if you were good, you weren't saved by baddie teammates. Duh.
Regardless, we can't confirm or deny the theory without lynching you.
Linki: Yeah I don't understand that post either. Who are you referring to, Scotty?
Russtifinko wrote:Quin, I see you're on. Thoughts on moving your vote away from LoRab since it seems to not be gaining any traction today? And whether yes ro no, how do you feel about the top candidates of today?
My beef is thus: Russ's opinions in regards to how people should vote comes across as incredibly scummy to me. I disagree so wholeheartedly that it makes me question whether that's his genuine opinion or if it's something he's trying to push forward as a scum tactic. I don't think the best move for a baddie is to jump on a teammates bandwagon 'unobtrusively' nor do I think anyone should abandon their votes just because it doesn't have traction. At the point of the second post, it's not like my vote was way left field considering nobody aside from ?Scotty? had more than one vote. When I first replied to the post I was surprised it was something I even had to respond to. For this, I am suspicious.
But - his opinions seem to complement each other, and they're consistent. I could perceive this as a clash of opinion.

I also want to talk about Dom/Marmot (at this point I might be tunneling pretty hard on sig, but I think I'm right so I'm going to explore it as much as I can. If you're wondering 'why Dom?' - read my previous post.
Out of Dom's 20 posts, he talks to sig in 10 of them. 3 of them are OT discussions about Fallout, so let's go with 7. There's nobody he's talked to, or about more in his posts than sig. The most the marmot talks about him is in his rainbow list - which I'm fine with considering he hasn't talking about half the players.
As for what he has posted, there's barely any meat in there. However, that was half my argument against him in AoT and he was civ so I can't paint him as bad for that. Looking closer into what meat he has posted.

Scotty wrote:timmer wrote:So shouldn't we lynch Scotty, then? I still don't get why you list a group of players, some of whom may have been pulling a baddie save, but you don't concentrate on the guy who was allegedly saved. Why only lis Scotty as an "and Scotty" at the end. I've always questioned the logic of going after players for saving a baddie when you haven't proven the person who wad saved was indeed bad.
On my phone will post as I can
No, timmer. We should not do that thing you mentioned.
I would like to vote Dom, Epi or the Klingon today.
Voting for Sokoth now. Could change, who knows if I'll have time to get back on to make a case or change it. If Epi or Dom get votes, I'll see if I can jump on that too.
Scotty wrote:Oh? Wilgy already voted Dom.
Voting Dom
First Scotty lists 3 people he thinks should be voted for then in the next sentence says he voting for a 4th...
THEN...in the VERY NEXT POST...already changes his vote presumably because someone else voted for one of the names he first mentioned...
Now I may have been out of mafia for a while, and apparently changing votes is allowed/the norm...but even so, Scotty has just buried the needle on the suspish-o-meter
Prodding for information. Cool.

Sorry about that, it has been a chaotic evening for me.
We are going to end the Night at 11:00 PM EST tomorrow, please get your night actions to both myself and MP by 10 PM EST. I'm going to go get out any PMs I still need to.
It's awesome that we are surviving baddie kills. But we're doing a
piss-poor job of finding said baddies. I am thinking they are inactive.
@ Host - If no one sent in a PM nightkill, would it say "????? survived a kill" or "no one was killed"?
birdwithteeth11 wrote:Well that was a
piss-poor result. RIP Scotty!

Well look at you two, using the same words to describe the game and stuff.
A nice find. However, 'piss-poor' isn't something I could feasibly see appearing in a baddie BTSC chat that might influence the way they wrote their sentences. What would be the context for that? I saw Eloh's defence in a later post in the ISO and that makes sense to me.
Overall Dom raised a red flag, and the marmot a white. Is that how the saying goes? I dunno. But at the end of this I'm reluctant to vote for marmot for being Ying, because I'd GTH civ read him, but I'd still consider it if the votes swung that way based on how I felt about Dom.

My vote will go to either Russ or metalmarsh today. I haven't made a clear decision yet so I'll make a decision right before I go to bed in a few hours. I won't vocalise it.
