I think the MM-Long Con connections are more in MM's posts? If that's what you're referring to, "missing something". Ask JJJ and nutella, they are the ones with the suspicion.
As for scarcity... I think three connections is probably more than I have with most players. I'm not the most prolific poster so far.

Anyway, that one point where I gave the "nullest of null" reads on Marmot should clue y'all in that I am not his teammate.

Take it or leave it I guess.
I don't follow Jack at all in the bus driver discussion. I don't see why there's any reason to assume anything about either Fred's or my alignment.

Even if you're discussing the matter of a cop, the idea still holds in a Town-Town scenario. The scum would stand to lose a lot if I am confirmed town by a cop, because I am a much more potent threat when I am not hindered by accusations (see: Turf Wars, Mad Max, and the latter half of ROTTK). By swapping me with a different townie a less threatening ID is assured. And that's only for a cop, which is already a speculative thing.
At the end of the day we're still talking about Marmot, perhaps the player on this roster least inclined toward actual strategy. He does whatever he wants on a whim.

Remember when I said this?:

Well...
I'll reiterate an initial part of my beef with Scotty because I don't know if he's given it a proper response yet:
Scotty wrote:I see I missed a lot in being gone from the thread. I'm real busy y'all, Donny participation is highly dragging on all fronts going forward.
I'm caught up, and realize that this is why I prefer to vote no-shows on day 1. I'm not sure who's bad. I thought Nutella was playing the fences early on with her first few posts, but I like her recent posts. The golden thing seems like a pretty good place to continue down I guess.
Not liking Wilgy's entrance. Any time he plays the WIFOM card my eyebrow twitches. Both he and MM.
I see the slip as what it was: a slip. Going to continue to defend me voting Dys. Could be difference in culture, but I don't like the bait tactics and choose to believe it were really that easy to bait a response out of someone with an "obvious" fakeslip, it's just as easy to scumslip.
If Scotty earnestly believes that Dyslexicon slipped on Day 1, why is he also lamenting the problem that he can never tell who's bad on Day 1? If that was a slip, isn't it plain as day that Dyslexicon is bad?
What do you have to say to this, Scotty? I'm interested in hearing what your thought process was when you made this post, if that's something your memory even has access to. You've dismissed it, I think, but not in a way that actually addresses it, unless I'm misremembering things.

These were the two Marmot things about Long Con that I took note of during my quick skim:
Metalmarsh89 wrote:nutella wrote:So if day 1 starts tonight I believe that means we have to have map votes in by 10pm EST today (a little over 6 hours from now).
I liked the way LC nominated himself, and I want to trust him I think. Though the way he worded it also felt like a preemptive safeguard against future suspicion on him. But I think that's fine.
I also feel super good about JJJ now. Super civ leader mode, strong green aura

And I always want to trust Golden but I'm a little more wary of him fooling me.
I think my map vote will be one of those... unless I decide to be more secretive about it, which may be a good decision seeing as the map disappears if the owner is killed

(I'm assuming based on the description of items in the rules, and because the votes are private, that the recipient will not be publicly announced)
I don't see how anyone could trust Long Con. His avatar + his username + his history of outwitting me makes him an extremely dangerous fellow.
Metalmarsh89 wrote:nutella wrote:Well, I wouldn't, but hypothetically if I had to, probably someone out of Jack, LC, maaaybe Eloh, and... yeah that's about it.
I understand an Elohcin vote, but only because she's made it clear she's not interested in the game.
jackofhearts I get... sort of. I recall a couple things he's said that pinged me, although his responses were solid.
Why Long Con?
Right now I am more inclined to shrug. It's not material that screams teammates; it just has that chummy feel that sometimes seems to happen early, particularly on Marmot scum teams. The second post is a little facilitator that might provide LC with an avenue to defend himself, something I know scummers hate to lack.
I wouldn't lynch LC for this stuff. I was more hoping someone else could look deeper into the interaction and see what comes up.

I killed Wigly, and unfortunately he was town. Sorry Wigly, but there was really nothing constructive at all from you on D1 when I ISOed you and i figured after Sig turned up town that taking out another suspicious D1 player would give us the most info on the reads of others towards you D1 as I was really hoping I was right about you being scum.
There goes the pants.
I don't know exactly what you are claiming, but would you please clarify:
Did you get Wigly's entire role, or just alignment?
I would ask, if this is a one-shot ability (a question on its own), why did you use it on day one? But I feel like any answer to that question would provide more value to mafia than town. I say this as a person used to power-claims. Please don't answer these latter questions unless you have a
very good reason for doing so.
For the record, I tentatively believe Silver Lantern on this one.
If you believe Silver, why are you fishing for more info about his role?
I'm fishing for Wilgy's role. You know, the dead guy. I feel like that much info would be valuable to town, should it be provided.
I feel like info related to the
one-shottedness of SL's role or
role-related reasons for killing D1 (which I wouldn't do as a vig) would be of negative value to town. This is the conclusion I came to, based on my time playing. I can further explain my reasoning, should it be required, but I don't think that's your point.
If you disagree, please say so before he replies, and explain why. And if SL disagrees (having more information than I do), then he can ignore me. Edit before posting: As he (apparently) did.
That's beneficial to both parties and you know it.
So you agree that it would be beneficial to town?

I'm a watcher. I watched Jay. If marmot did what you guys are suggesting and swapped fred and jay, I should have gotten 'golden targeted fred' but I didn't. I wasn't showing as watching fred, despite the fact the results I got were for Fred. I got that no-one was targeting Fred.
It should be noted that last night I was showing as targeting the player I watched. So I've since had that confirmation.
It was a baffling result for me. I still haven't figured it out. But it isn't entirely explained by the marmot role, even if that is part of what happened.
Golden wrote:"As the Busdriver, you may target two targets, actions affecting each targets are switched"
OK, I've checked with sprit, but looking at this again, I can see how I might be still seen as 'targeting jay' as it's just my action that is switched and not my target. That makes sense.
Huh. This is bizarre and confusing but ok.
Jackofhearts2005 wrote:
If you didn't get MM, he didn't busdrive Fred with JJJ. You were misdirected by someone targeting you or JJJ was nexused.
But wait. I was confused about this as well. I was wondering why you wouldn't have seen that MM targeted Fred. But then I thought it might be justified by the nature of the busdriver role. Like, picking two targets to switch wouldn't show up as targeting, because its purpose is to switch who's targeted. It operates on a different level. Maybe? Idk, it could make sense to me as being like this. A "host intricacy" as LC says.

Aaand I see that Quin already mentioned that possibility (though seemed to hardly entertain it). But anyway I'm still a little behind.
But I just saw Sloonei's review of JJJ/Marmot interactions and it was fascinating. There's some fishiness in there for sure.

I am not feeling super great about JJJ right now based on that. I'll have to look into him more because there were some solid reasons I've kept a town read on him (one that comes to mind is the not wanting to kill Nacho thing, even for WIFOM, but

@JJJ
I can go over it again but I'd rather not. Doesn't seem worth discussing.
It's damn near impossible for Marmot to have been behind Golden being misdirected from you to Fred.
I don't think you needed to claim but since you're now (assuming you are telling the truth) vanilla, I don't see much harm in it. I already assumed you were some sort of tracker but you could have maintained the illusion of still having a power, which is probably how I would have played it. You'd be surprised how many players will admit to targeting deaders if they think they were tracked.
I could Vote Scotty
Having to do a full reset on Quin and JJJ. Too many assumptions were made today. They'd be good ISO targets.
Still not a fan of Speed's. Don't like Marmot defending Eloh from me, earlier. Not a bunch of reason to weigh in on her if she's town. Might be reaching.
Would love to hear from INH on someone besides Sloonei.

Fishing, mostly. Scotty made a fair accusatory post against him but since I don't trust Scotty.
I think the amount of culture clash I'm having with him makes my brain want him to be scum. I don't even remember Scotty's arguement that well.
I glanced over some of Scotty's points and agreed with none of them, but I am conditioned to read Scotty as bad right now.

Time passed. In the immediate aftermath of the map claims I gave Marmot a bit of a berth, and then as his posts went nowhere from that point I progressively cared less about that. Marmot was in my PoE originally anyway, I deliberately didn't list him because of said map. That's what I was trying to nudge to Nacho when he asked me.
Anyway, that one point where I gave the "nullest of null" reads on Marmot should clue y'all in that I am not his teammate. I am literally the guy who analyzes the hell out of dead scum interactions in every game I play, and that means I am very well-versed in what sells and what does not. I don't give you a useless waffle on my teammate because that does nothing to benefit me or my team -- it only leaves me open to answering questions like this later. I know better. Take it or leave it I guess.
I don't follow Jack at all in the bus driver discussion. I don't see why there's any reason to assume anything about either Fred's or my alignment. The most basic value of a re-directing role is that it prevents the civilians from handling the night phase the way they want to -- it promotes a chaotic information environment. There are a ton of different theories one could apply to Marmot's purported actions, assuming he is responsible for the target discrepancy Golden has reported, that work out for three of the four possible alignment arrangements between Fredwood and I. Town-Town, Mafia-Town, and Town-Mafia. The only one that I'd struggle to see a scenario for is Mafia-Mafia, not counting my own inherent knowledge of my alignment. Because I am me, I am generally a likely target for
whatever. Doctors love to protect me, jailers love to jail me, cops love to ID me, watchers love to watch me, etc. Shit, in recent memory even vigilantes love to shoot me. Bus driving me with
anyone is by default a near-sure means of making certain the role has value that night, because someone's JJJ target will get screwed up.
Even if you're discussing the matter of a cop, the idea still holds in a Town-Town scenario. The scum would stand to lose a lot if I am confirmed town by a cop, because I am a much more potent threat when I am not hindered by accusations (see: Turf Wars, Mad Max, and the latter half of ROTTK). By swapping me with a different townie a less threatening ID is assured. And that's only for a cop, which is already a speculative thing.
At the end of the day we're still talking about Marmot, perhaps the player on this roster least inclined toward actual strategy. He does whatever he wants on a whim.
Was this post supposed to make me feel better about you? Because it didn't. Especially the highlighted paragraph.

So um.
unvote jackofhearts, I think? Am I still voting for him?
vote Scotty
Dang. Interesting.
Tbh I have still been tempted to townread Scotty though. Partially because of the role claim, even though he conveniently claimed to be blocked and couldn't prove it. The fact that he was hinting at something from the
very beginning of the game makes me want to believe him. And I've had other towny feelings from him in general. So the null marmot interaction is not enough to sway me on him.

Scotty wrote:Them MM voters lookin real good right now by the by
Well done on catching him y'all
And then went on a tirade against the two people who hammered on metalmarsh.
BUT this is suspicious as hell.

I don't understand.
Your last

Some things have changes since my last rainbow.
If you two are scum (yes you are lumped together), you have GIGANTIC BALLS to be pulling all of this. TBH, I almost think I'm wrong about Dizzy now. Almost. Not quite.
I can hardly keep up with the posts right now.
Scotty is my most confident read too.
SL, I believe you now because of the reveal that you have more vigs. Falsifiable and unbalanced as scum. Good for my read, bad for your survivability. Protectives take note. Wish you hadn't said that.
God, I hate this post.
Speed: Silver, please tell me all your powers and Wigly's too.
Silver: No
JoH: You's scummy for asking, Speed
Speed: No, I need to know cause what if Silver is scum even though I think he's town.
Silver: Here's more about my role.
Speed: Oh, golly. Wish you hadn't said that.
Just when I was starting to think I was tunneling.
Probably more juicy stuff from EOD yesterday but I couldn't let this go.
Probably more juicy stuff related to Silver, too. His death makes sense. First mafia kill that does. Possibly, scum was afraid he was gonna shoot them soon. Worth looking into.
Catching up.
Reread ALL of my actual posts. It'll make sense.
Or, for the lazy: I asked something specific, not related to whether Silver had multiple kills. Did not want him to say if he had multiple kills specifically, as that makes him die. It made him die.
I asked if he had more info on dead guy. This is unrelated to what he revealed about killing the next night. (Which was apparently a lie anyway, but the kind of lie that paints a target on your face)
This is where I am, still catching up

@Sloonei: I had some thoughts on speedchuck
here that gave me pause about him, even though I'd mostly been reading him as town almost to the same extent that you are. In your post about him you get up to his ISOish post about Marmot and just stop there, but what interested me was his waffling after that point.

You should probably catch up all the way.
Cause like...you might say something stupid if you don't. I've heard of that happening to some people.
