OK...somewhat of a catch up from v/LA and holiday weekend commitments.
I now have Vasudeva saying the lynch is me or Chronopie (WTF?) and I’m making Chronopie’s top two list for scum as well. Do either of you have any reason or is it a) your scum trying to get a mislynch or b)a process of elimination that is at least 50% wrong?
Only concern I have considering Ani as town is the possibility that getting resurrected changes alignment. I do not think that is the case however and I’m comfortable to consider Ani as confirmed town.
I’m assuming there are three scum in the game so that leaves two left within Pitt, Ken, Chrono, Nik, VV and I.
Most of my suspicions are based on vote counts.
The first day’s lynch of easjo had five confirmed (due to their deaths/flips) townies on it. The only two ?s on the D1 lynch that are still in the game are Nik and Chrono. On a 7 player bandwagon I highly doubt there was only one scum on it. Ergo IMO Nik and/or Chrono are scum. I am inclined to think only one of them is scum and the other managed to lay off the mislynch.
The D2 lynch of ABR 2 confirmed/assumed town (RC and easjo) on it, one scum, and two ?s (kenman and Vasudeva. Chrono was sleeping...vIQleS (ie me) was awol and I had not joined yet. Pitt was still focused on RC and I do not know where farside and Nik were as neither placed a vote on D2...though each were able to put in claims for items.
On D3 there were two ?s that did not vote for Me=W. While it is possible (and likely IMO) that at least one scum was bussing Me=W...I don’t think both would. That leaves Chrono and Pitt as the only ?s not on the Me=W wagon. Once again...Chrono is in the mix. Coupled with his D1 vote, I’m focused on Chrono as scum.
The non-Chrono scum is a bit tougher read for me. Right now I am leaning towards VV and Nik being town based on their Me=W votes....but since I’m willing to consider that Me=W was bussed...that throws my VV/Nik town feeling out the window. I’m really not sure which of Ken, VV, Pitt, or Nik are town or scum.
Ken’s claim seem’s awfully convenient in that he has targeted what I consider confirmed town (easjo), confirmed scum via death flip, and Pitt. Not a who lot of controversy in that claim.
Question for Ken
....you say you investigated easjo on Day 1. At what point in the day did you make your investigation?
As for the item claims. I still don’t see the value in people knowing what everyone has. To me it comes across as rolefishing and/or making things easier for whomever the thief is to pick the items they want to steal. I stated what my action was last night which was a bit more than I was comfortable doing and a full on here are all the tiems I have claim just does not feel right.
If someone can tell me how a full on claim benefits town more than it does scum I am willing to consider but I think playing the majority of my games where town PRs (which is essentially what all the various item powers provide) close hold is the norm has conditioned me to this train of thought.
@ to all.
Other than easjo/Ani...are there any players that have a high probability of being considered town and if so...who and why? If I’m missing some obv town tells I would appreciate them being brought up to help me hone in on scum.
tl:dr
- I think Chrono is scum and I'm still trying to determine in my mind who the other is.
That said...I am with holding a vote on Chrono because I plan to use one of my items on him this evening which will confirm to me his alignment. I would prefer to actually use my vote on whomever the next preferred non-HF candidate is.
