Bingo. Those won't be seen because this game doesn't allow infodumping.

I am not a confirmed baddie.

I disagree. Scotty outed you.

Until I see the word 'cop' or 'red peek' alongside my name I am not a confirmed baddie.

Nah. If you're not a baddie, you're not a baddie. No conditions on 'until'.

You are a baddie.

Wrong answer. You expect me to believe that you're fine with the guy who has emerged into this phase, in which you suggest you've been smeared post-mortem by Scotty, saying he is "99% sure you're bad" and "Quin is a confirmed baddie". Bullshit. Kill this guy. If you don't kill him today, kill him next.

Quin wrote:Respond to my ISO, please.

No.

I do not fault Scotty for thinking I'm suspicious based on Scotty's actions. I think he is wrong and that he should know that, but I know he genuinely believes that I am.

Civ Golden is a hurricane of self-assurance.

There is absolutely no way. That's not a host being a clown. It has a major impact upon the game. It was a component of some role that caused that to happen, either in Scotty's own role or elsewhere.

What does 'I'm not a baddie' do for anyone, again?

The case on Jay is devoid of rational thought.

Why did Scotty show up as civilian and then mafia? Do you have a solid grasp on that that is role-related?

G-Man, were you just being a clown?

I do not believe a host would 'just be a clown' in that way. G-Man included.

Okay man.

@Quin - Why would your read on me be begrudging? I've been suspected by many townies before who are wrong, I don't feel begrudging saying they are town. My job is still to figure out who is town...

I'm looking at MP/reywaS and S~V~S/Wilgy2.0 relative to Scotty. They're both in my PoE, but to discern which one should be called "more suspicious" is very difficult given the content. Scotty was harsher in his dealings with MP. He griped about MP's "I'm busy" posts. He said basically nothing about S~V~S other than to acknowledge that she wasn't present.

I am inclined to think MP is more suspicious, even if just slightly. Active distancing like that is easier to swallow than idle mentions within larger groups.

Quin's read on Golden right now reminds me of myself in Transistor. Basically the whole game llama knew I was bad and he made it pretty obvious, but I was Mr. Careful and never quite attacked him for it until late in the game. A "begrudging town read" is exactly the type of scum indicator I was looking for.

Shit, I did the same thing with coolkid in the champs finale last year (hi Rico!) when he knew I was bad. It's textbook scum.

I feel obliged to answer this question. I was not being a clown with the delayed reveal on Scotty. Perhaps your frame of reference on this game should be different from other games. That's all I'm comfortable saying right now.

The smiley post I made was me being clownish in that I was giddy about what I was about to do to you guys information-wise.

Is it meaningful that Scotty was both "a member of liberal mafia" and "part of Operation Cobalt"?

It's also why I've been asking him that all day. Noobs.

Could be, but I'm inclined to think not. "liberal baddie" speaks more to me. Who knows.

For all we know, you set him up to stamp him as scum.

Linki: You've specifically been asking him for a read of Golden all day, so that you could compare that behavior to a previous game of yourself as mafia? Smells like a setup to me.

Linki:

The liberal mafia is a component of Operation Cobalt, the rest of which is purely narrative in nature.

I'm in the madhouse.

It's not a "tell" in that it's a "Quin tell", but rather an "everyone tell".

Go ahead and lynch me, I don't give a shit. You're dead next.

And set ups are exclusively the domain of baddies?

I use them as town all the time.

I'm having a change of heart Jay, give me a moment.

You're damn right it was a setup. There was a right answer and a wrong answer. If he went after Golden with any of the vigor he has wasted on me, I would probably read him as town right now. I think there's a viable tinfoil case to be made against Golden.

Quin isn't interested in that. He's playing it safe. I know the strategy well.

Everything Jay is doing, every post, reeks town.

If Jay ends up lynched today, I will put a stake in the ground and say "This is why The Syndicate has a terrible town win rate."

(That was actually the most townie post you made all day)

Well, since 3J isn't interested in even acknowledging my case against him, I guess I can go now.

If everyone has the same tell, then it isn't meaningful, and isn't a tell.

You must know this.

No. I went through the effort of that post for a reason.

I keep returning to this:

Scotty wrote:Beck came out guns ablazing with his hung-ho "I'm-new-here-but-ima-fuck-shit-up" mentality, and it was refreshing. But I wonder if he is acting rather than being. You know whaddimsayin?

It looks like Scotty was just looking for whatever excuse available to throw shade at Beck. It's forced though, in a way rather similar to how his "GTH bad" read on Quin was forced. I get a similar vibe -- that he felt like he had to say something negative even if he couldn't substantiate it at all.
