I see it is time to suss MR, presumably for being slanky and 'not doing anything'.
Murder, Mayhem, and Mafia

I arrived home right before the deadline. I was hundreds of posts behind, Syn and Dya were the wagon options, and the one I was on was dead. I noticed Dya was now in the game but didn't have time to figure out why they had a wagon; all I saw was that it was the one with the most last minute momentum and a lot of people I townread were on it. I didn't have time to parse the nuances of it, so I just sheeped Mac, KZA, and Rondo.Epignosis wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:50 pmI'll pass on Michelle.
That leaves me with Nanook, Master Radishes, TonyStarkPrime, Rondo, and Ender.
Nanook is all grunts. Whatever.
This second post was two minutes before the deadline.Master Radishes wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 4:00 pmIt is not. I've missed 600 posts and didn't know Dya was in the game.
The move from Scotty (who is a civilian, correct?) to Dya at the eleventh hour without any context or care looks like shit.
Perhaps this has been talked about and I haven't read it, but Master Radishes came in, voted Dya without knowing Dya was in the game. That's how it reads to me right now.
Town 112 often doesn't 'showcase progression'. Scum 112 is more likely to. Town 112 is more likely to make snapreads no one can follow.Scotty wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:19 pmI guess I don’t know what a “better wolf” looks like.

lol I guess that was what Ted was tunneling me for all the way in the beginning of the game, so whatever

I was thinking about this earlier. I don't think there's a soup kill mechanic. I know that's the Big Bad Scary Monster of Syndicate games, but it's not actually all that common in games I've been in. I think JPIC's counter to mass claiming is the fact that roles aren't being revealed upon flip. That opens the door for fake claims from scum.Michelle wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 1:50 am They claimed RBer later. Probably a claim close to their real role and they can say it is a way of claiming safe if they are villager to avoid a soup kill. Whether a soup kill exists or not, we don't really know it because 'Role/flavour claiming is allowed but it may not be in your best interests' doesn't imply an anticlaim mechanic that big, but mafia can have a claim vigi for eg.
Why do you think it's okay to claim when we don't have flips?

This is not me advocating for a full claim or anything. I hate when games devolve into mech stuff.But I think it's *probably* okay for people to claim if they really want to.

As I said, I don't advocate for it.

Hmm.
In my reread, after learning you were blocked, it just appeared to me that you got extremely defensive, but less about defending yourself and more of retaliation like a prodded dog.Poison wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 11:42 pmRe: Scotty @Scotty explain poo slinging, and explain why do I need to defend myself and what made you think I'm defending myself?Michelle wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:47 pmUmm we don't lynch a player who can flip villager as info lynch, so voting tutuu seems exaggerated fmpovScotty wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 3:22 pm Learning tutuu’s alignment will resolve a lot of things. For many people. If she’s town, which a skim of her iso tells me (as I’m often nodding along with many of her reads), then there are a bevy of people trying to take her down. If she flips town, her reads are probably pretty spot on.
Her point about poison blowing up after being rolebocked last night is one that I agree with: it looks performative. In the ensuing back and forth that follows between the two, poison seems to do more poo slinging than defending. Maybe That is their defense. I dunno. But I give no brownie points to poison because of it.
You dislike Poison's reaction but what if it's genuine?
As for my reaction, it is more like a me thing rather than alignment indicative. You probably doubt my personality over my playstyle imo. Your suspicion on me aren't strong fmpov, they only hang on my first post as you said before, which was a good morning and probably saying I'm happy to play with tutuu again. If it feels performative to you, you should look back to my previous games or ask my homies how I usually talk [Michelle, and Ted, rip ted] . Of course I can copy my town game as a scum but in that way everyone can be Scum.
If you have some real concerns for me, something that you want me to address to and help you read me right then do put your case forward. If you are going to scum read me because of the things you mentioned then help yourself and scum read me, cause honestly I haven't learned the art of explaining my speech yet.
What no, I can think of other players I’d rather risk being lab rats to proving your role. If you’re lying and tutuu is town, we’re in a bad spot. We should be finding mafia, not proving your roleUrist wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 12:17 am I've been considering this for a while and didn't think it would be necessary, bit I'm realizing that we're going to be in lylo sooner rather than later so I should get my role confirmed asap.
I am going to claim now. Last night, I targeted tutuu. I have an ability that seems anti-town at first but I think you'll come to understand how pro-town this claim is at EoD.
Anyway, my action is that every night I must target another player. The following day, that player will require two extra votes to eliminate. Unfortunately, I misread this at first and thought it would cause the person to require two fewer votes, instead of two more. That's why I targeted tutuu. Silly me!
But this isn't a terrible thing. I think we can confirm my role now. All we have to do is make sure that tutuu has exactly one more vote than the runner-up at EoD. Should be easy. Then the runner-up will be eliminated and tutuu will survive and my role will be proven.
There's nothing to lose so I say we get crackin'! How 'bout y'all?
Haven’t even read DK’s iso, but this sounds damning to me!Michelle wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 1:21 amDkkoba complained i didn't read their posts. So i will Iso them in my free time
Anything until this post above is NAI and extremely easy to post as wolf.
This post imo is a slip, they mentioned the predecesor posts of Dya's slot and Creature didn't post a word.
Later in the game when questioned thwyt took it jokey and say 0 is tonwy or something like that (i will not search now for that post)
I don't think town would try to obtain towny points based on a flip and i see DkKoba read for Dya's slot as TMI and a clear proof they are a wolf.
I will call it proof No. 1
Yo I'm back here

This could all be playstyle and I’m willing to table this right now because I don’t know how you usually respond or play as town, but it was suspicious to me regardless. Probably can’t really defend against what I’m saying so I understand it’s not a fair deal.
I have you as barely light scum right now, not really top of my priority
Yeah I was sitting here trying to think of a good question to throw back at you and all I can think of are stupid ones people sometimes ask like 'are you in your scum range' and 'GTH who is slipping under the radar' and stuff like that I don't actually care about.
Said this in an earlier post but in a nutshell I came in at EoD and didn't have time to process everything so I just sheeped my townreads who had all swapped to Dya. I also low key liked that it was a last minute wagon swap tbh, especially one on someone like Dya who I assumed wouldn't be wagoned for no reason. Felt the momentum was probably towny and so I followed it.

Maybe give me your PoE and we can compare? Or your list of uncertains/nulls if you prefer.
(And obviously if you're a wolf I'm definitely not reading you.)
honestly when I was retrospecting the wagons i found your last minute change on dya rather towny. I don't think scum usually jumps on wagon last min when they knew the flip would be green. but apart from that i do0n't have anything AI from you in my mindMaster Radishes wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 8:15 amSaid this in an earlier post but in a nutshell I came in at EoD and didn't have time to process everything so I just sheeped my townreads who had all swapped to Dya.
