It's obvious, come on. Several reasons. First of all, he really has no choice at this point since it's his last chance to appear town and convince us that he's his normal supertown self by doing ISOs and scumhunting. Of course he's doing this now. Second, if he's scum I would bet that he is using some sort of wifom trickery/manipulating his ISOs so that when he flips bad we'll be thrown off by his "reads" and not know which ones were real -- so he might be bussing teammates, or defending them, or otherwise completely throwing us off the trail in providing these reads.
@JaggedJimmyJay how are you deciding who to ISO? So far you've done bob, wilgy, malakim, and speedchuck. Those seem kind of random. What is your reasoning for choosing them?
They are players that I wanted a developed, thorough read on and that I felt the thread needed more analytic content for. malakim is mostly the product of Dom's replacement though -- it's an opportunity to do something with a previously empty slot instead of just make flier reads on a whim.
I've tried to explain why I've played this game the way I have. I know I don't look like the generic civilian JJJ looks. What I don't understand is why there'd be a perception that I am trying to look that way.

Also, I'm gonna definitively say that I do not buy into the theory that jay or dom was saved yesterday. I think mesk was a bad lynch, but I don't think she was lynched out of a deliberate effort to save anybody. There were no strong candidates anywhere. The thread was loaded with uncertainty and any vote would have been a blind shrug. Mesk just happened to be the final candidate named, so she got the votes. And, like I said earlier, I was ultimately the reason she was lynched instead of Jay. I don't think this is a good argument to use against either jay or malakim.

TMI Alert. My initial reception of speedchuck's handling of LC/Epi was a positive one, but I disagree with myself now.
In a scenario where both Epi and LC are civilians, speedchuck has exonerated one and defended the other based on what I perceive to be pretty dubious premises. High-roading both of them, by essentially suggesting both were being dumb instead of being suspicious, may be suggestive of unique information in speedchuck's possession -- information which could only come from a mafia alignment at this point in the game.
Exactly how I feel about that.
Is this the core of your own speedchuck suspicion or is there more?

I believe this is the kernel, but I know I have seen more that made me say "hmmm" about him, keeping him in my Top 3.

Moved my vote to speedchuck
what was the best thing i said about colonialbob?
If I remembered that you wouldn't be lynching me. Lazy lack-of-time-to-dig play is not mafia play. It would be scummy if I was trying to push a Cbob lynch right now. I'm not. Catching up

Now that you mention it it seems strange he's not focusing on people who could viably be lynched today.
There are two hours remaining. Nearly anyone can viably be lynched today. Given the freedom and total control, who would you lynch right now?
cbob or speedchuck or maybe DDL
you've got the most votes right now and I trust about half of your voters but I've felt sincerity in your posts and actions but Nutella is right that maybe that really actually your goal, did you respond to nutella's post about that?

Jack, having just stolen my ship and marooned me on a desert island with speedchuck as your partner, what is your opinion of him in this game?
Bad.
There's no smoking gun like him shooting Wilgy and then no lynch last game but he feels way too passive. More like Pirates Speed than any other version of Speed.
Agreed. That is my current play because this game is so friggin meaty. You'll find out that it's not alignment indicative in about 2 hours at this rate.

IDK. This is pretty much par for the course for Epi and LC. If it were any other two players, nah.

Thank you.
I'm also considering the idea that we syndicate players are overfond of sticking CFDs up our own butt without any prodding.
Too sleepy, I was up till after 3am last night recarpeting stairs. Wilgy, JJJ, speedchuck.... my top suspect is speed, so consider my vote permanent. Good night!

malakim2099 would you please do me a solid and describe your past mafia experience, to whatever extent you're comfortable with?
Your link is broken. You accidentally mentioned yourself while typing it.
Also the forum is trying to force me to mention you too. It has had this kind of bug for weeks now. Spacedaisy
When ever you try to quote a post that has an @mention in it, you have to delete the @mention to avoid that problem. Otherwise it sees the original @mention and gets confused.
Why is this not in red
Because I was responding as a Tech mod, not as a former player and because it was OT.
You guys and your stupid end of day fire drills. I might have defended myself and made some content if I were here, or if this had happened earlier in the day. 4 hours ago I was less suspected than half the playerbase. Now suddenly I'm a unanimous lynch.
linki: I don't even know what you mean, but I'm insulted jack. My mafia lynch choices are way better than my town lynch choices. Or at least, more certain.

what even is this post
Why do you lynch me or speedchuck or maybe ddl?
Sloonei's case on you was pretty good and nothing significant has happened since then to change my opinion. Also I don't remember who but someone mentioned speedchucks gameplay being similar to in Pirate game and I can kind of see it.
Shit dude i guess I'm really relying on other people's thoughts and opinions a lot, huh?
Welp. In view of my legacy, I'll have you know that this is the strongest town game I can handle when there are 3k posts and 93% of the game is still alive.

This is crap.
There was no more reason to lynch Melk than Dom. Yet lots of people were really invested in lynching Melk.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I'm betting it's a duck.
