Look at the structure of the message that is sent in the Role PMs that are spoilered. You will notice that it is clearly missing any indication that the content of the message comes from another player. That’s the fundamental distinction.

I don’t have an anti-case. I figured mechanically we could pin Scorpious down further since two messages will circulate tonight almost regardless, and I think one is more valuable than the other. That’s all I got.In post 1822, KittyTacky wrote:Yeah Andrew, if you don't want Scorp to hang today then share your... anti-case.-

We’re not doing this. I’m completely against it. I want to see a resolution for the day that actually leads somewhere. Anyone can easily hide behind geraintm’s execution by arguing that it was another black box. I’m firmly against it.In post 1823, MalcolmTucker wrote:

@Andante you have Nero Cain and Save The Dragons as your top Town Reads? Can you explain Save The Dragons? We’re disagreeing there so I want to better understand that. There’s more than one person that thinks that STD is Town so I have an open mind about being wrong there. Nero Cain I’m mostly just suspicious for activity - I can’t really question them claiming to be burned out and it’s happened to me too so I’m taking that at face value.-

I don’t want to have to say it, but Scorpious’ aggravation is starting to get to me. Unless someone can show that they’re the best actor around, I’m having a hard time seeing some of these posts as coming from Scum.In post 2197, KittyTacky wrote:What?

And I’m unsure as to how you can even begin to defend geraintm to be honest. I didn’t want them executed because I didn’t think it would help get us any answers. I feel a bit different about it now, particularly after their contributions over the last few pages. Like geraintm seems too convinced Scorpious is Scum.-

Like who loves the case on Scorpious? I don’t. I’m still struggling with the mechanical argument (as I’ve pointed out repeatedly), and they’re complaining about stuff I find myself thinking about at times. Like geraintm has actually contributed little content. So Scorpious being upset at them getting pressure and geraintm skating by after some of their contributions feels like Townie frustration. Instead of being frustrated by it, Scum would look to take advantage of that. It’s a different sort of feel to the posts.In post 2083, geraintm wrote:I am happy with the logic of scorpious needing to go. I looked earlier in at other suspects before the whole angela/kitty stuff came to light but town can wait on the until tomorrow when we have more info.
I see no reason to look for others to vote off today, when they would best be based on gut whilst as I have said many times, I love the case on scorpious-

That’s my humble opinion.
Anyway, I have an absurdly busy day at work but I will try and contribute some more later and I’ll keep reading. I think I’ve stayed on top of every post but I can’t comment on everything.
@Nero, can you perhaps consider voting geraintm? We’re starting to run out of time a bit.-

I’m happy with an execution amongst {Save The Dragons, JacksonVirgo} today. I think MalcolmTucker could also be Scum.
I’m never voting geraintm, angela, or Rathe. Nero Cain is probably fine, and I’m not going to push Enchant today either. If I’m wrong, I’ll re-evaluate tomorrow maybe. But I don’t see why we would do anything else quite frankly.-

I’m not even bashing you too hard for that logic. I would say the posts were you were trying to paint your logic as always leading to the inevitable conclusion that Scorpious was Town were bad. But I also criticized one of your predecessors for softly defending Scorpious by bashing the cases, and in retrospect I think that was a legitimate line of inquiry.In post 2443, JacksonVirgo wrote:My logic was only flawed by a missing action. Or by a town blocking them, which was information I saw was unlikely yet happened. I stand by that my logic was sound irregardless of the fact the lower likely actions had occurred-

Maybe? But honestly, executing games with Traitors is tough and Town had a Friendly Neighbor so I don’t think the Scum are that weak. Traitor weakens them considerably and I don’t see that being the case.In post 2452, Enchant wrote:My first thought is traitor.-

Didn’t the game with 2 traitors have 4 total Scum? Isn’t that the game that was lost in 3 consecutive mis-executions? That game was also passed as Normal with the higher number of Scum because 2 of them were Traitors, and the Town were informed about the unusual number of Scum. What I argued was that assuming 3 Scum here, since we know the Town had a Friendly Neighbor, and one of the Scum PRs is a mailman only, I would be surprised if there was a Traitor as it probably makes the Scum too weak and the game unbalanced in favor of the Town. And how does it help the Scum to be able to send messages via a mailman to a potential Traitor anyway? Unless the Traitor is also a Mailman? But then why have that mechanic? Outside of maybe making it harder to coordinate during the day, the whole idea for there being a Traitor is that the main Scum don’t know who else is in their Team and they have to be on the lookout. If they can only send messages in one direction, then if they’re wrong, they could out themselves, and if they can communicate with a Traitor who is also a Mailman, then what’s the point? You might as well make them all main Scum and avoid the gimmick.In post 2460, JacksonVirgo wrote:

Yeah but then you’re ignoring my D1 completely and that doesn’t make sense to me. I was Scorpious’ main focus, and I was aggressive in my pursuit and landed back there almost towards the end of the day when I was trying to avoid a Not_Mafia execution. If you think them harping about my Town % was staged, you could make that argument, but I certainly am not going to let you just paper over all of that by looking at my D2 only.In post 2515, shiki wrote:

Like if you want to argue against JacksonVirgo by saying that your push against Scorpious was negative EV and you wouldn’t do that as Scum (and I agree), certainly you should apply some of that same logic to me then. Because it’s not like I was defending Scorpious early in the day and I did come out pretty strongly against them even before they returned the favor.-

KittyTacky said that JV should be executed if Scorpious flips Scum. That was their main consideration if I’m reading some of the posts at the end of D2 correctly. I also think STD looks quite poor after D1 and how all of that went down (Scorpious being the main focus, and the Scum needing an alternative, momentum was there to execute STD and it didn’t happen, which means that we need to think about that).In post 2520, angela wrote:

Nah I really shouldn’t be in the POE. I’m not going to insist too hard and it’s up to you but I’m not claiming and I don’t see myself as equivalent to anyone else you included in that group. And I think it’s a bit annoying because I was pushing Scorpious quite strongly D1 and you’re waving it away because I (correctly) argued Mailman was a dumb fake claim but was surprised at the implementation. Had I been around towards the end of D2, I think I would have been swayed by the argument that was put forth that not sending a message then to try and frame you, but keeping the possibility open to send a message later, was actually a reasonable conclusion. I also asked Scorpious to disclose the content of their message and their claim in the message that they hammered as a mistake was used against them. If that had been planned, I wouldn’t have them highlighted that piece as something suspicious - I would have built up the contents of the message. But whatever you do you.In post 2521, angela wrote:

Like the JV hammer (after defending there like they did) and the position of STD’s vote for geraintm are quite revealing. I would eliminate both slots here and then really start thinking through what’s going on if we’re going astray. I don’t think I need to really consider geraintm as Scum here in the vast majority of circumstances, Enchant a few solid posts at the end of D2 that didn’t need to happen unless there really was some insistence to bus Scorpious (and why? Their AtE was succeeding in instilling doubt in my mind for example), and Nero Cain had a vote in there D1 which highlighted how Scorpious wasn’t reading that I’m not sure they make as a Partner.-

I’m not going to start quoting off of my own ISO but I do think you need to look at my earlier posts because I think it’s nonsense that I would be grouped with like JV or STD. Why am I shutting off geraintm at one point then instead of cheering that on the whole time as an alternative D2, before I ended up screwing up and going back on that? Like I can make mistakes and I have, but me going back on executing Scorpious D2 isn’t like worse than you blocking that execution D1, but you want JV to give you the full benefit of the doubt on that because you were possibly framed, but then don’t want to extend that to me when I very clearly was being pushed by Scorpious D1 in bad faith. So yeah I don’t get.-

Uhm, are you reading what I was responding to? angela said Kitty had doubts about my slot. I simply said that as a priority, Kitty was clearly more focused on you. I’m not even getting into the argument about why they were executed (yes, surely them being Confirmed has a lot more to do with it than their perspective or reads), but if you’re going to be arguing that a Confirmed Town voice should be listened to, the immediate argument is then okay, then JV has to go. I’m not getting into an argument about Kitty’s accuracy or any of that, but I will agree that Confirmed Town voices are valuable and they shouldn’t be discarded. I just think in this game, I’ve done enough to be considered possibly a deep wolf option if you want to put your tin foil hat on and argue marginal cases, but not a main POE, and certainly not a partial mass claim.In post 2531, JacksonVirgo wrote:

I was Scorpious’ main focus, and I was aggressive in my pursuit and landed back there almost towards the end of the day when I was trying to avoid a Not_Mafia execution. If you think them harping about my Town % was staged, you could make that argument, but I certainly am not going to let you just paper over all of that by looking at my D2 only.
and kittytacky also suspected you and am giving weight to their considerations as well-

In post 2526, Andresvmb wrote:Like the JV hammer (after defending there like they did) and the position of STD’s vote for geraintm are quite revealing. I would eliminate both slots here and then really start thinking through what’s going on if we’re going astray. I don’t think I need to really consider geraintm as Scum here in the vast majority of circumstances, Enchant a few solid posts at the end of D2 that didn’t need to happen unless there really was some insistence to bus Scorpious (and why? Their AtE was succeeding in instilling doubt in my mind for example), and Nero Cain had a vote in there D1 which highlighted how Scorpious wasn’t reading that I’m not sure they make as a Partner.
Well, we can just rally votes and force a claim no? Like I think there’s some sense in that strategy. Openly asking for multiple players that potentially maybe are Scum in marginal situations isn’t helping the Town - it just gives the Scum some targets and more information they can use to fake claim this early. We shouldn’t give them that.In post 2537, angela wrote:like i currently think all of jacksonvirgo and save the dragons and malcolmtucker are more likely than you, but suggesting only those three claim seems not as beneficial to me but maybe that doesn't make sense
and jacksonvirgo is also refusing to claim anyway, so-

Okay but I was pushing Scorpious in a position when it was even less beneficial to the Scum than you.In post 2541, angela wrote:
right but i wasn't saying that jacksonvirgo shouldn't be eliminated, though i don't think it should be done hastily here, we have time,In post 2536, Andresvmb wrote:Uhm, are you reading what I was responding to? angela said Kitty had doubts about my slot. I simply said that as a priority, Kitty was clearly more focused on you. I’m not even getting into the argument about why they were executed (yes, surely them being Confirmed has a lot more to do with it than their perspective or reads), but if you’re going to be arguing that a Confirmed Town voice should be listened to, the immediate argument is then okay, then JV has to go. I’m not getting into an argument about Kitty’s accuracy or any of that, but I will agree that Confirmed Town voices are valuable and they shouldn’t be discarded. I just think in this game, I’ve done enough to be considered possibly a deep wolf option if you want to put your tin foil hat on and argue marginal cases, but not a main POE, and certainly not a partial mass claim.
but you would be the deep wolf option there, amongst that list, and it is better to work on deep wolf options now rather than later, for pretty apparent reasons, to me at least
like if you'd prefer a full massclaim i am also pretty amenable to that
it just felt like the partial might be better to me,
If I want Town cred for bussing Scorpious, I don’t have to go back on that D2, ever. Maybe a bit like how Nero Cain has approached the slot at times. Regardless of what they had argued mechanically, I could have tried arguing against it to keep my distance but not push it too hard and look elsewhere. But look at my posts D1 and early D2. I was trying to get some finality to the whole situation, and I argued D2 that we should then just execute Scorpious (particularly after Kitty claimed) and that I would land there, despite what mechanically I had expected. I felt too much conviction behind geraintm’s posts and I was scared away from voting Scorpious (and they’re spewed Town at this point in my mind), but that was my only hang up. I don’t think I ever tried to build an anti-case, and even after the actual claim D1, I was insistent on it not having an impact on their alignment. I just don’t have to do that.
I’m making these arguments now because I really think we need to rally around a selection and I want more debate around STD, Malcolm and JV. I think that’s vastly more helpful than debating the potential for a mass claim, or whether I should be in the POE.-

I didn’t treat it that way? I wanted to immediately counter the arguments you brought up because I’m not giving anyone an opening to derail the game here. Unless you’re willing to make a comprehensive argument balancing out my posts D1 and D2, I wasn’t going to let your comment about me acting in a Partnery way D2 just slide unchallenged. I really do think that if you look at the totality of my contributions and arguments, it’s a bit absurd. I’m also against a mass claim because there’s just no need for it right now. On balance, I think the Scum benefit more than the Town. Happy to have a mass claim if both STD and JV are Town.In post 2551, angela wrote:
my attention not solely or even mostly on andresvmb though? like i don't fully understand why andresvmb treated it that way nor do i understand why you are treating it this wayIn post 2547, geraintm wrote:I don't think mass claim is the way forward, andni certainly don't think anders needs to.
Wish angela would focus their attention off anders, i have the pair of you 1st and second in my town pile- right now I have save the day at the top of my most suspicious list and i will, when I have time tomorrow, go back and loom at the votes on wagons now we ha e the extra info of scorpious being scum. Bed now though
Having said that, I don’t think I ever argued that you had spent too much time focusing on me. That’s just not anything I said. But it’s far easier for me to make points about my own play. And I’ve made my views clear and we don’t generally disagree so not sure what else I should be talking about.-

I ISO’ed STD btw and they made every soft defense of Scorpious that could have been made this game, and never voted there. When I (and others) were focused there early, they made a comment about how their eyes were glazing over and they didn’t think it was worth even debating (it clearly was). Then they obviously defended Scorpious mechanically by suggesting we don’t try and “outguess the Mod”. They of course did push geraintm hard when it was convenient and could avoid an execution of Scorpious. Like I think it’s obvious STD needs to get executed this game.-

i think it's entirely possible they're a town mailman, but the friendly neighbor information does make me wary. i think they're town based on play though.-

And this is the outguessing the Mod post I talked about.In post 1644, Save The Dragons wrote:outguessing the mod/setup is dangerous
i've seen a neighborhood with 2 traitors in it they flipped one and assumed the other was town. i also saw a game with 3 mafia doctors in it. both are considered normal.
i could see a mailman and a friendly neighbor in the same setup as town-

STD that’s fine but you’re giving me nothing. I can understand you might be burnt out but I’m also a bit wary of giving you a pass purely based on emotion (and not your actual posts which I have quoted) when that same mistake cost me with Scorpious. I don’t know that you as Scum just give up like that, so I’m trying to think through whether the Scum saw Scorpious would be executed and have been planning around that (leaving others to take the fall when defending there), but you do have to try and give me something to chew on.-
