scumread me scumread me scumread me i want you to scumread me daddy

As the only one of your genus I presume this call is meant for me?? If so.. go with a Scumread mah boy

[Almost50]

First.

You're the first scum prospect indeed

[Almost50]

Each scum team has 1920 players? Holy crap that's alot.

Good to see everyone here today by the way.

Bigger fish here though..

[Almost50]

T3, I think you typod again lol.

People familiar with me can expect more activity from me this game than my usual.

Consider this a greeting since I know you like being greeted to the thread.

Greetings to you too, good sir

So. this concludes them first 3 posters (I'll set these aside for now as I'm not up for a fight at this time.)

Also, my favorite Pokémon Rangers game is Guardian Signs jsyk

I somehow seem to be popular in this PL.

[Almost50]

I'm the main one, actually. Bambi is also basically a Main. It's complicated. But I get the bragging rights of being the one with access to the speakeasy even if I don't use it.

I expect you to give me funny memes and treat me like a Queen. I can be also be bribed for reference.

100 ScumCoin for the names ofyour scumpartners. /j

My guess would be Bambi Jay & JaydragonKing

[Almost50]

Let's avoid Yggdrasil again.

?? What's Yggdrasil?

[Almost50]

It has to do with NDMath's activity level. If she's more active, she has more room to be wrong. I scumread her vocally and incorrectly because she lurked and defended scum. The misleading mod statement didn't help.

You got me worried for a second (or a few)!!!! I had just addressed him as a HE, and then saw this and I gulped.

[Almost50]

Almost50, do you want to be my daddyyy~

I'm the type of monkey that wants to make all simians happy and prosper.

[Almost50]

I appear to be creeped out by the HumanEatingMonkey, who I learned from my sis is also called HEM. Maybe from the dirty talk or maybe I don't like seeing humans getting eaten.

He'll be in a corner for now while I talk to the humans.

What?? You don't wanna talk to me????

[Almost50]

I skimmed first two pages, almost
r u drunk posting like me? First of your posts looks townish. That is "I'm busy" ever so slightly town. Ightly harder to evaluate if druck posting.

I am not drunk, but you could very well assume the same behaviour.

True Fact: I saw ssbm's slot was being replaced and I sent the mod a PM to REPLACE INTO THIS GAME. I didn't even notice until he told me I was already in it. (and seeing as I did confirm my role and alignment earlier I don't see how alcohol can do me any worse)

[Almost50]

Are you listening to yourself. I am enjoying your nutso hypothetical, bUT goodness. Please tell me how town wins the 2 town v 2 v 3

Town and Scumteam A agree Scumteam B has 3 members and teams up to elim one of them. A and B realize they'll shoot each other at night and now it's 2 town 1 A 1 B.

Dilemma

It would specifically be Yomi Level 3a. Mafia always has these situations.

OR.. the no lim and scum cross kill, then they no lim again and scum again cross kill, and it's 2v1 .. in which case one townie is still likely to vote the other.

[Almost50]

Yes it's only 3 votes but scum can pile up. One scumteam voting him + someone else voting is already E-2 which could be lolhammered (denying town discussion) or out a strong PR early. I wouldn't be scared if it was a few pages later and a legitimate reason to SR him.

Now I'm confused. You assume one Scum team (3 votes) + "someone else" makes it E-2 "which could be lolhammered" with an additional 2 (presumably scum) votes. Doesn't that imply you should be TRing the 3 voters on T3 already? Yet you're voting HEM, implying you expect every scum player to be voting the wagon at some point?? Is T3 confirmed to you?? See where I'm coming from (or rather puzzled about)?

I think it'd help if you provided reads on T3, nom, HEM & AD with a brief reasoning for each. It won't solve the whole problem, but it would help me figure where you're coming from. Thank you

[Almost50]

This doesn't feel right, personally. Last time I played with Kitty he was a PR and made mistakes, so I don't know how much he improved but I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt this time.

Elsa, serious advice here:

If you're Scum you should shut up, and if you're Town you should SHUT UP. Here's why:

As scum you tend to chainsaw your partners, so those who know you (myself included) will take note of it. If you are Town I don't know that; thus will still take note of it and will suspect you are Scum chainsawing a buddy. Result: Kitty gets eliminated (which would be good if Kitty is Scum ,but would put you in trouble regardless of your alignment). If Kitty is Town then your interference is bad for them and for the Town, and once they do flip Town you'll probably be accused on WKing still (again; regardless of you alignment). In short, I guess what I'm saying is I don't trust you and don't see a realistic chance that I will in the foreseen future. I like the person you are (which should go without saying) but until you flip I'd advise you to double check or even treble check every letter you type.

[Almost50]

I think that T3 scumtell would have yielded null results because we called it out too early

That avi of yours, man. Everytime I come into the thread I feel like lighting a cigarette.

[Almost50]

Question 1: It is a possibility. Scum 'parties' indicate a multi-player party. You can't just go party with yourself, right?

Oh, shit! And there was I telling myself that 3rd "party" could/would account for one of them "parties", and taking it further to assign town/scum points to players based on how they perceived it and discussed it.

OK, I guess I'll have to reread and reassign points based on the newly revealed facts. *Sigh*

[Almost50]

Almost can you provide an example of the meta you are claiming Elsa exhibits consistently?

Check any of his scum games (then check one of his Town games). I mean, he himself admitted he fooled me 5 times in a row.

But I will try later. Right now my Internet isn't stable and I have been saving all my catch up comments to a file and will be posting them shortly. (Wish me luck)

[Almost50]

START CATCH UP (INCL. REREAD)

Consider this a greeting since I know you like being greeted to the thread.

First three posters. -ve point each (my own special rule of "On

average

there's

exactly

one Scum in the first 3 posters of any given game". (I did the research on my finished games of 2021 and on 7/13 it applied, 3/13 had none, and 3/13 had two, hence the "average" and "exactly" in case anyone was confused by the pharasing)

VOTE: Almost50
Prepare to get greatest plan’ed

I don't even know what this means exactly, but I wanted to include it in the catch up in case it did make sense later on.

[Almost50]

Good. Let's avoid Yggdrasil again.

Still don't get it (unless you did answer in the patges I hadn't read yet)

Friend do you really think 3/3 is possible here? I mean truly

Like, this one was "NAI" in my first read, but it earns Dan a town point upon reread, because the mod now confirmed it was indeed 2 parties as in 2 groups. I do remember he will theorize a 2/2 still though, so just the one point.

I’d guess 3 mafia per as well, but wouldn’t be surprised by two

This is currently NAI, but may become AI towards endgame

I mean why not? A normal 13p game has 3 scum and 10 town. This time an extra set of evildoers showed up with either a random extra townie or a Serial Killer.

My -totally false now- assumption was 13/3/1 because a 17-palyers Normal setup would include 4 scums most of the time (I'm speaking of the "T = 3S + 1" rule; so 7/2. 10/3, 13/4, 21/5.. etc)

[Almost50]

3/1 isn't multiball tho. Multiball needs multiple scumteams. Not a SK.

And this poat earned Kitty a townpoint initially, but it now is NAI (how do you like my linguistic skills? “it now is NAI” vs “it is NAI now” sounds kinda cool, does it not?)

Because it's a rapidly-growing RVS wagon and I don't want this to become a lolhammer. HEM cast the third vote which is what "made" the wagon.

Do you still feel the same after realizing HEM's was the 2nd vote not the 3rd?

I think he's just an awkward but nice guy who sheep's people while trying to give town ideas.

This is not how it happened though. Kitty did not exactly sheep anyone here. He started his own wagon on HEM. Care to explain??

[Almost50]

Beginning the day defending someone rather then attacking seems about right for him

Ah!! Would you care to define “sheeping” for me, please. Cuz I seem to have been under a BIG illusion.

Well, I guess Elsa can't be TMI about KittyTacky's town alignment because there are two scum teams in this game. So maybe if KittyTacky flips town, Elsa's town as well.

This is so surface level (Hello, FL. Are you watching??)

Let's play a little game: You are Scum in a MULTIBALL game. You see "someone" (who has last seen you as SCUM) being FoS'd. Do you:

1- Hop on their wagon?
2- Pretend you didn't see it?
3- Try to get on their good side?

And let me simplify it for you: Let's say you actually do SR that person (reminder you are Scum yourself, only on the other team). Now do you want to put yourself in the spotlight and risk being shot by their team, or do you want to appear "supportive" to them and probably just shoot them at night?

What value would it have to whiteknight anyone who you think could flip scum? What value would it have to pocket anyone who you think could be potential rival scum?

What I'm going to say is a

personal opinion

. It also is not meant to direct shade at anyone in this game. It's a general concept.

That said: When I played as SK (once I think, and I won) I used a strategy of mislimming Town by day and hunting for Scum at night. This way the Scum team did not put me up as a priority NK. I guess it's the same thing in MB. Scum want to avoid intimidating the other Scum party so as not to put a big X on their own backs.

[Almost50]

Admittedly, this is my first large normal and this is my first multiball. I don't know jackshit about multi-ball scum strategy.

I'd keep an eye open for when the Corleone family's recruiting if I was you.

I think we are likely in 2/2/1 or else 3/3 where there's a restriction on factional killing power (like one team is odd night kills, other team is even etc.)

I don't think 3 kills a night makes much sense. 17 >> 13 >> 9 >> 5 = theoretically Town could be annihilated completely by D4. I mean, it's possible but not very probable IMHO

This way every one wins.

A-ha! I've been watching you closely to see when you slip. This here is a SK crumb. You said every “one” wins. Now which faction is composed of only ONE player??

VOTE: Elsa Jay

@Everyone else: Stay out of this. I know what I'm doing. American court laws do not apply here. Elsa is guilty until.. WAIT. Elsa is guilty no matter what.

I feel both Dan and Cyrus are town. Dan's townie for calling out Cyrus's vote as not RVS. Cyrus is town for sticking his neck out early in a way that could get him heat.

I don't like meta reads generally but I feel good intent from Cyrus.

Titus making sense! Hmmm..

[Almost50]

This is my take as well

I don't like

people

apes who take without giving

Hello my name is Elsa Jay and I will be doing what we call a "pressure vote".

That doesn't give the same effect without a photo

this is useless busywork

You know what's truly useless? Your posts so far. This is your 8th and you haven't said anything AI or even game-related so far.

FOS Gamma

Well it only works if there's actually a bunch of people to help me out. I'm going to cry in a corner now.

Would that be the same corner HEM was sent to earlier?? Should be interesting to watch which one of you proves to be the other's daddy.

[Almost50]

I think there's a legit possibility that Elsa Jay and Kitty are partners

I think there's a legit possibility Elsa is Scum with just about anyone.. or even without anyone.

FoS: HEM

I'm not gonna place a vote without reading more but I feel like his scumhunting process isn't natural currently

FINALLY! A stance. An opinion. Keep on..

Numbers are evil. Only scum use numbers.

You mean tp tell me these are all Scum??

Spoiler:

Page 7

*Curses* I can't read gamma based on these 13 posts of his even if I tried to use [redacted]

IMPORTANT: [redacted] does not refer to any ongoing games. In fact it refers to an old tell of his that he himself had informed me of a long time ago. I just can't decide if that's how it looks like anymore. *Sigh*

[Almost50]

ive seen his town play and scum play recently this isn't there town play.

Does it look more like his scum play or is it something else?

Pretty sure gamma is town here they are more laid back as scum till end game.

When was the last time you saw Scum!Gamma make it to end game?? (In my experience, Scum Gamma gets eliminated on D1)

Pocketing other scum means they're less likely to shoot you.

Dafuq?? I spent like half an hour finding words to say this and you just put it out in one simple line!!

and cabd in yggdrasil felt like two very different people.

So, it's game tile. THANK YOU

[Almost50]

Nero is normally more active as town.

I like how you are preemptively getting this in after I just said that I'm having internet issues and it's hard AF (at least for me) to type on my phone and it's only page 8, it would be wildly different if this were page 60 or something. And while I can't prove it I am writing things down to add to my catch-up post

this was mostly a joke but i love the reaction from titus . shakes head relax we just started.

It didn't look like a joke when you doubled down on it, mate.

Why is elsa in your lim pool?

That's easy he's looking for easy elemations .

Elsa is an easy lim??? Yeah, right!

Page 11

cyrus & Nero having 3 suspects is soooo sus IMHO...

Now my 3 suspects are...

End of catch up

[Almost50]

Now excuse me while I go try to do something elsewhere while the internet is semi-stable. I'll be back here if I can

[Almost50]

Have you always done this points system? I don’t recall it

I always did/do but I rarely talk about it in-thread. (Just as I often do list all scum team combinations and then delete the ones that I either feel don't make sense of if one flips green, but I rarely do mention it in-thread)

[Almost50]

I dunno if that FOS on GE aka Gamma Emerald aka Greatest Eboi from Almost was a joke or not

It was at that point (for the stated reason). It's not applicable anymore, but I still have him as "active null" (active null= producing content but I'm not sure how to read them. As opposed to just "null" which is probably a lurker or an active lurker with no AI content)

[Almost50]

You also need to avoid nks so not doing much kinda works is scums best interest, no?

Not my experience (personal opinion on a personal experience though). I would suspect the players trying to lay low to be PRs when I'm scum. It's the ones that are active lurking (posting regularly but are not really taking stances) that usually get overlooked by scum!me. (This because Town!me usually confuses PR paly with Scum play, and often suspect PRs early on, so when I'm Scum and

know

they're not scum I lean to read them as PRs)

[Almost50]

Is SK even normal?

It is in larges, although I have some vague recollection of a rule that says "either or" (Either 2 scum teams OR one Scum team and a Serial Killer). Don't quote me on this vague recollection though.

[Almost50]

I don't even know what this means exactly, but I wanted to include it in the catch up in case it did make sense later on.

Which part confuses you?

Everything except the vote! Like, what does it mean to "get greatest plan'ed"? And what does your "favorite Pokémon Rangers game" have to do with it?

P.S. I know nothing about Pokémon Rangers, and next to nothing about Pokémon at all.

[Almost50]

Hey.
Hey FUCKER.
You know this game?
This game where you abandoned me after I bent over backwards to hydra with you?
I MADE IT TO END GAME IN THIS GAME, AND I WON!!!
DESPITE HAVING TO SUFFER THROUGH A TAINTED SLOT BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO ELLITELL TO AN EXTREME DEGREE!!!

I hope you’re scum this game Almost50 because if not you clearly don’t know diddly-squat about me.

Wow! Nice talking to you, my "friend".

I won't be talking much to Gamma after this burst. I don't want to be mean to them, and I can't NOT be mean if I do.

[Almost50]

I’m sorry but you negated all goodwill towards you this game by mocking me like you did.

My remark had no ill-intentions to it, but if that's how you perceived it I apologize.

Also, let's leave this to post game (if you think it needs more to be discussed). I'll pretend this never happened (and lucky for you I do have a short memory nowadays)

[Almost50]

Gamma and Almost50 gives me scum theater vibes

the game where we both ruined (by SRing each other for -what turned out to be- playstyle differences) had just ended. Can we try again?

Which reminds me..

@cyrus: That game is over now. Can you state your meta case on HEM more clearly?

[Almost50]

Almost is mad at me so I didn't want to vote him

FTR, when a game is over it is OVER. Vote me if you SR me (but you better have a good case or I will tunnel you for the rest of the game)

[Almost50]

Evrytime I get the feeling I want to assign a TR to someone my fabulous record of late tells me not to.

@EVERYONE: If I haven't misread you in 2021; please raise your hand.

[Almost50]

I do tend to get suspicious on people pushing such an obvious limbait as cyrus so maybe I should relook at the interaction. Gut felt some shade of nero town here.
Thank you Dunn Senpai! o(≧▽≦)o

Not be an arse, but see how the last game ended when you applied that method. (I'm not saying I wasn't to blame. I misread both the other scums myself)

[Almost50]

I'm looking at Almost50's iso right now and I honestly have no idea how to read this.

It's still D1. I haven't faked a guilty on anyone yet.

[Almost50]

why is that a scum slip cyrus?

Kinda the same as the one I caught tris with in tic tac toe. (Now watch me vote a townie at E-lo and lose the game again).

But seriously, I don't think this is a slip. It didn't strike me as the one tris made. Basically, nom corrected himself in the very next post and didn't wait for someone to point out the flaw.

[Almost50]

I'm not sure how to explain it but I think Dunn saying "Going out on a limb is towny"

Why town over scum with a bad knee?

[Almost50]

For reference Almost is mad at me for the literally just finished mini normal 2216 in which I broke his trust and now he has the baboon butt avatar because of it. That's why he voted me. Dunno about Titus.

Thanks for reminding me... *Sigh*

[Almost50]

But I'm keeping that red arse avi handy in case I need it again.

[Almost50]

21. I'm confess I skipped A50's catchup 300+. I skipped to the end to geta TL;DR. I was surprised there was not one. This is fairly dissonant, suggestive of active lurking (because there's a barrier to engaging with him, but he's behaving as if he wants to be active and engage)

I could see A50 active lurking as scum
His recent scum meta seems to be to slank through

Iecerint taking it for active lurking is fine, You calling it the same is not.

What I did is a reread from the start as if I was a replacement (and i explained why). I could have done it in one go but it would have been a humungous wall that nobody would have read (Iec didn't even read it the way I posted it). I commented on every post I thought was worthy of a comment. It's like "my new ISO" if you will.

[Almost50]

speaking of games being over how much do I need to pay for you to change your avatar A50
I'm willing to invest

SHIT! I wish I had read this before I did. I could've made some extra pennies/

[Almost50]

the game where we both ruined (by SRing each other for -what turned out to be- playstyle differences) had just ended. Can we try again?

How did I ruin that?

?? Did you forget your English?? I literally explained it between brackets!

[Almost50]

You know that's impossible day 1 with you Alm. Now are you voting me because of a genuine read or because I'm not trustworthy anymore? This is my 4th game back and I finally got town again after so long, so please. I'm actually trying to be good here, and I can't do that dead.

If it's a genuine scumread on me, look who's also on my wagon and see if this is a scum push or not.

I was afraid you would ask.

UNVOTE:

Scum are bound to be on any given group of 7 people. regardless of your alignment. Like, even if you're scum and even if your pal/pals is/are mot busing the other team would have had at least one vote on you.

[Almost50]

I won't cheat on you a seventh time, Almost. I've really changed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgACfyfjFBI&t=69

[Almost50]

in this game you will see hem jokes around alot at 1st then after 20 pages starts to pushing people . he doesn't just start pushing people like he has done this game so fast.

How about you re-ISO him here? Cuz I sure didn't take his request to be SR'd (or have a daddy) seriously. Did you?

Also, I had SR'd him hard at the start of that other game

because

of that jokey entrance, so -if his style has changed which

I still don't see

- it could be to avoid being SR'd early?? (Which would be NAI)

[Almost50]

Something is off about Titus in the last town game we had she didn't act like this.

If you're going to "meta hunt" all gam.. GOOD LUCK

[Almost50]

this is so not town Nero I can't show why till ongoing game is over but I can say trust me.

OMG! You really are going to compare people's play to your own LIMITED experience with each of them. This is what's wrong with using meta to scum hunt. I use it as a side tool. An additional bonus. People can act differently for many many ways. here are some:

1- They were/are busy at opne time and not the other
2- They had a fight with their significant one at one point
3- They were high or drunk
4- They have different role (many people act totally different when they're VT than when they are TPR)
5- Insomnia
6- Depression
7- Different players list

You name it.

Now I request that you point out what looks scummy/suspicious from every/any one's posts in THIS GAME, and THIS GAME ALONE first. THEN, if you want to put and additional supporting meta argument; you're welcome.

So, which posts of HEM's/Titus'/Nero's/anyone else's look suspicious to you and why? (The why is an explanation of what you perceive to be ill-intent/scum-driven agenda). Can you do that?

[Almost50]

@t3 that one doesnt do me Justce if you want to realy want to read me go to my cross roas

So YOU can use one game to meta someone, but others can't do the same to you because it doesn't do you justice??

You know what? I'm leaving you be.

[Almost50]

@t3 that one doesnt do me Justce if you want to realy want to read me go to my cross roas

So YOU can use one game to meta someone, but others can't do the same to you because it doesn't do you justice??

You know what? I'm leaving you be.

it's like this going by someone's worse scum game to see how one acts and going by the best gves you more range to go by. What else I can be a lot better as scum then that game. I didn't tell him not to use it I'm saying baseing ones read off of the worse game can have many flaws.

And how do you know the games you're using on ANYBODY are their best, worst or "average"?? You said X acted differently is THIS RECENT GAME. It's exactly the same as T3 did to you. If he landed on your worst game then why can't you have landed on X's "best/worst/mist cheerful/most miserable.. etc" performance?

[Almost50]

I don't know what you'e looking for, AD, but according to him all his recent games he rolled scum. The mist recent I know of was him playing under Bambi Jay, but he replaced into it during N1 iirc, so I don't know if that's a good example.

[Almost50]

Personally I am reconsidering things. I got off the ELsa wagon and didn't know where else I want to vote. There are a few "missing slots" who may appear on the VC but not actually in-thread

[Almost50]

I'm 2-shot neighborizer.

Interesting! Do I hear THREE? Going once..

[Almost50]

I think the only key difference between this game vs a regular game is that bussing doesn't work because it nullifies any town cred you would otherwise gain from it in a normal game. i have no idea how this relates to our current situation. i just want to put it out there for everyone to stew on.

That, and counterclaims don't semi-clear the CCer as they could be from a different scum team. Which could be what's happening with T3 and Elsa but... doubt it. I think both scum teams would have the same shotting on their neighborizers, if both have them.

Re: generally the Cyrus convo
I retract my SR on Cyrus actually. I think he just plays weirdly. I'll go re-read a bit of the game soon to see if I have any more strong SRs than Elsa.

.

I am at a loss. I don't see WHY Scum would CC a neighbourizer to begin with. Regardless of Elsa's alignment; T3 has put a big red X on his own back. If Elsa flips green T3 gets lim'd, and if Elsa flips red T3 gets either shot or lim'd still.

In other words, I don't see that CC coming from Scum!T3 at all. I still dunno what that means for Elsa, but I think I'm in no position to state a read on him anyway.

[Almost50]

I am NOT going to try and guess if "known liar" Elsa is telling the truth this time. I think I will just stand by an watch this one from the sidelines.

[Almost50]

and when I flip town you won't even think of me again. Y

I'll think of you every step of the waaaaaaay

And Aaaaaaaai yaaaai will always love yooooo

I got the word from Eminem that Dre may be pre-occupied

[Almost50]

Everybody please be considerate to this poor monkey who is confined to phone posting for now. I had to roll back twice do far to verify AD was indeed the Even Night Jailer and not the Cop. Please be careful with the confusion/misinformation for the next 48 hours

@Dunn: if it's 2 scums per then it makes sense both sides would be hunting down town early game. Like, why would mafia even want the remaining wolf out so early when they can make use of the extra kill to clip down the town?

@Gamma: I confess to being stupid and having missed your crumb totally. I probably should've thought about it more, but your outburst at me didn't help and then you mentioned dying at night and I thought you were crumbing a Weak modifier

[Almost50]

So since you were allegedly roleblocked, shouldn't you be going after almost50?

Not exactly the question I had in mind, but it'll do. Mine would have been: why didn't Gamma target me rather than Kitty?

[Almost50]

VOTE: Dunnstral

Huh I think that's a slip

Your comprehension is a disgrace to all simian

Dunn literally posted 4 names that he thought contained the remaining wolf. None of them was shot, so mafia didn't try to hunt down the other wolf from his PoV.

No banana boat for you today. Bad monkey.

[Almost50]

Based on kills, the mafia team were aiming at town for sure (and not elsa's partner)

Yo Dunn, can you explain this? How are you so sure that the mafia team were aiming at town for sure?

Ok, >I< must've gained some extra brain cells it seems.
Cesar is my new monkey name

I have my own problem with this. AD was obvtown for sure, but NDMath, not so much. So really it's just an expansion/specification of what you said but it should still be brought up. Perhaps NDMath was the kill of Dunn's team?

Why this weird appearance: it's much easier that to delete and retype after I realized I typed it in the middle of the quote. Like be grateful I can do quotes on mobile now.

[Almost50]

Why would town have a cop and a gunsmith?[/quote]

They both account for 3 investigative shots combined.

P-edit: shit! I messed up the quote.

Last time I mention this, but I NLOODY HATE PHONE POSTING

[Almost50]

So since you were allegedly roleblocked, shouldn't you be going after almost50?

Not exactly the question I had in mind, but it'll do. Mine would have been: why didn't Gamma target me rather than Kitty?

I wanted to target someone who seemed likely to be run up the next day to function as a fact-check to their claim. While I had bad vibes from you, you weren't a suspect for reasons that didn't feel like petty beef on some level. Kitty meanwhile actually seemed like someone who might get voted a fair amount.

But that means you will be paranoid of me for as long as we're both alive. I thought you implied the reason you crumbed the way you did was to get me to work with you, so what better way to convince me to work with you than announcing a clear on me?

Your reasoning would/could have looked more reasonable if you hadn't already claimed ONE shot.

I am also getting deja vu of previous games where I fence sat with my read on you, refused to vote you, and you flipped scum.

And it doesn't help that Elsa also flipped scum, so it looks like history keeps repeating itself with you two.

[Almost50]

Based on kills, the mafia team were aiming at town for sure (and not elsa's partner)

Yo Dunn, can you explain this? How are you so sure that the mafia team were aiming at town for sure?

Ok, >I< must've gained some extra brain cells it seems.
Cesar is my new monkey name

I have my own problem with this. AD was obvtown for sure, but NDMath, not so much. So really it's just an expansion/specification of what you said but it should still be brought up. Perhaps NDMath was the kill of Dunn's team?

Why this weird appearance: it's much easier that to delete and retype after I realized I typed it in the middle of the quote. Like be grateful I can do quotes on mobile now.

okay but what does your comment have to do with my post?

I had just explained how Dunn's post made sense to me from his own PoV (explained it to HEM, hence the monkey reference).

I tried to target for utility for the town
not what I thought would help me.

You are right about the implication though, however atp it probably didn't matter what I did because the result was effectively the same.

wdym that me and elsa's history is repeating though?

I explained the part about you.. me getting confused and flip floppy about my read on you and ending up NOT voting you when you flip red.

Alas.. ISO him. He even promised he wouldn't do that to me for the 5th time running. I don't even remember when was the last time he was town in a game with me.

[Almost50]

@Gamma: can you promise me you're not flipping anti-town this time around? Cuz I really don't want to look like a jerk for the 3rd time running, but I'd also feel bad if I had let you go twice as scum and only voted you as town, so I'm too confused as to what I should do right now.

FTR, I am not voting Dunn if that's the alternative you're providing me. You can either find us another target to work on together, or you can let me make my own deductions and plays with a promise that I won't feel like switching my Avi back to that monkey arse upon your glip

[Almost50]

@Gamma: the very fact that Dunn is semi-active in this game should be an indicator he's not scum

@nom: if interested, I can explain my "mood" at this time, but i don't think it'd benefit anyone, as it's not purely related to just the game of Mafia (I.e. there are other IRL reasons involved), but don't you worry, as i will bounce back in no time (just as soon as this heat wave is over, my land line is restored, I've gotten more sleep than 5 hours in the past 40 hours or so... etc)

That -of course- on top of what you already witnessed (the game related part).

Actually, if the phone guy is telling the truth (and he rarely is) then 50% of my problems should be solved in the next 3 hours. Just keep your fingers crossed for me

[Almost50]

A50 are u suggesting that Dunn is only active as town and inactive as scum?

I am. In fact, as far as I can remember his low level activity is NAI, but when he is active he is more likely town

[Almost50]

I think I'm willing to explore new grounds, like..

What the freak is this?

Spoiler:

For a 17 person game I expected more people to show up in the first hour. I wanted three pages already.

It is 10:42 in the bEST time zone.

Yes it is, right now, but not when you posted

Hi Titus

I think he's just an awkward but nice guy who sheep's people while trying to give town ideas.

My scum detector is fully erect from this and it won't calm down. Intuition says TMI, but I don't know how TMI you could really be as scum in a 2-team game.

nom what's your take?

You actually used the word erect and weren't referring to a penis wow, who does that?

VOTE: humaneatingmonkey

Wow 42 pages. Its a lot!!

hello angel

This is shit. Big big shit.

VOTE: Elsa

For future reference HEM: even if I'm scum this time, I literally only defended Kitty because I felt bad because I'm an emotional player like that. The Mafia scumteam rode that to my death hard since literally everyone shut down anything elsa going after that.

I make plans pre-game of my very first action BEFORE I know what role I'm even getting so that's what town!me planned from the beginning to do with defending Kitty. PR town me will lie to your face as well as VT me. I hate giving readlist day 1 too because it's WAY easier to get strong reads on 3-4 players instead of forcing myself to read everyone right day 1. I hope I can actually talk to people next time for non-alignment reasons for idle chit chat. That's my favorite part of mafia.

I hope to God I get town next game tho. I know I like playing scum but when I get it FOUR TIMES in a row ... It gets a little grating. I signed up for multiball even JUST to still scumhunt as well on the off chance I rolled scum again. So my readlist is legit if you wanna find Mafia.

I'm outting this all so I won't have minor hope at work or die before I say my peace. See some of you next time.

Unfortunately, ArcAngel 9 slot and Andresvmb are totally unreadable going into day 2 off of a scum elimination

I wouldn't elim Testarossa tomorrow. Town lean, I also doubt they are paired with Elsa because they spoke out against them even if they didn't vote.

Iecrent made one effort post and then hasn't done much else. Their stances are weird. I'm unsure of why people have been calling this town, is this meta?

So Lucifer has transformed back into an angel and Elsa literally scumclaimed. Ok, I take that. lol

I guess that should clear the early Elsa wagon from being Elsa's teammate(s) considering it's permanence. That's finally something to work with.

Well sure but the other team is sitting on him so eh

Blue names are people who I have given me at least some reason to believe that they're not aligned with Elsa.

I am assuming 2 scum on each team, right now, but this doesn't get shaked up too hard even if there are 3.

That means that if I didn't false-clear anybody, Elsa's partner should be within this pool of 4:
[Gamma Emerald, Arcangel9, Andresvmp, iecerint]

Additionally, there's nothing preventing names on this list from being mafia of the opposite alignment. Meaning, mechanically, I think it makes the most sense to look here first.

Also, I'm interested in hearing if anybody disagrees with any of this

Why did you mech-cleared cyrus? He was a late addition to the wagon, and has taken a hesitantly defensive stance on Elsa

fwiw Andres joined this game because I asked him too, and I know he was stretched thin already.

Skimmed and saw the scum claim. I can hammer whenever if elsa is E-1.

I think town's in a good spot. In case I'm dead tomorrow I would like people to stop wasting their time with gamma/cyrus, both are town, continue on that path and I'll be their weapon. @Dunn re:Iec meta read mostly, his takes aren't that bad in that they are all plausible.

I don't see how Dunn is so sure both teams were hunting town also. NDMath was null to me and I don't see how he would look that townie to anyone.

I can't believe there's still a debate about this, and with such misconception of what has been said!

First: Dunn didn't say BOTH teams went for Town. He only said the MAFIA did.
Second: It was based on his own reads of who can be a WOLF and who cannot.
Third: NDM was indeed a "Mafia suspect" as per Dunn's readlist. He didn't explicitly say it, but he did say that everyone outside the four he suspected would include the other wolf

could still be Mafia

.

So, if you missed 1, 3 should have auto-corrected you, and vice-versa.

[Almost50]

I'll read this game in this state of

advanced happiness

, let's see if I can connect some thoughts together.

OK, scratch the previous question. You're probably my wife playing a prank on me.

[Almost50]

My favorite theory is 2 scum, 2 werewolves and a traitor for each team. A grand total of 12 town v 5 scum. (Traitors count as 0.5)

Traitors count as 0.5 when counting PRs, not when counting slots!!!!

In other words, if there's a traitor for each side then it's 11 Townies, 2 Mafia + a Mafia Traitor, 2 Werewolves + a Werewolf Traitor = 17 players

Signed: A monkey that knows how to count.

[Almost50]

Have we ruled out that T3 isn't a Mafia Neighborizer who counterclaimed Elsa?

It is starting to look I can only read monkey typing!

I don't see why any designer would give one side a 1-shot and the other 2-shots, but that's about as much as I can argue against it

based on the role itself

.

But I'd also argue T3's use of his first shot was Townie, and his explanation is even looking better.

[Almost50]

Also, why not keep up the bit and just crumb his no result? Then he could draw roleblocks away from PRs with shots left.

The counterpoint is if he perceives his no result as a guilty, but he isn't acting like it.

I like this in t5he general sense of it.

@Gamma: I second the question about not claiming your shots and trying to draw the Roleblock and/or the NK unto yourself. Why couldn't you do that?

Note: Not asking why you claimed your role, your target or your result. I am asking precisely about you claiming ONE SHOT.

[Almost50]

A50 are u suggesting that Dunn is only active as town and inactive as scum?

I am. In fact, as far as I can remember his low level activity is NAI, but when he is active he is more likely town

this is not my experience with him. I mean its possible that he lurks it out as scum and is more active as town but that would mean he intentionally lurks to better his meta.

OK then. But aside from activity, do you think his posts are town-motivated or scum-motivated?

[Almost50]

I liked Arc’s entrance

Really! Tell me more. Feel free to highlight the good parts of you will. Also, how do you like her activity on D2?? Also also, she wasn't the only occupier of her slot, so how did you feel about her predecessor?

[Almost50]

do you think his posts are town-motivated or scum-motivated?

scum

I would ask for elaboration, but I know I most likely won't be convinced, so I'll just save you the trouble.

Do you have an opinion on "Dre" yet??

[Almost50]

Hi, yes, I'm the other Mason. I incorrectly assumed that this game wouldn't have 5 investigative power, as I believe mason fills the same slot

You're about to be even more shocked, as I also am an Investigative. All Investigative Roles are capped it seems. I am a 1-shot Traffic Analyst and

Nero can communicate

. Those kills on T3/nom were super beneficial in theory, because -otherwise- I would have assumed Nero was T3's second recruit. However, my role does NOT catch people with PT access if they're alone in their PT, and it resolves AFTER the NKs.

@Dunn: See why I was arguing Gamma might exist with a Cop? Together they only amount up to 3 shots (not even sure if there's a Vig that could give Gamma a false positive). I know now that I could have gotten false guilties on Masons and/or Neighbours (I didn't account for Masons while I was picking my target), so consider me lucky (for once).

Anyway, given the current situation I think Nero is more likely a WW here (he was defending Elsa hard on D1, but I couldn't act N1, and didn't want to die before I did, so didn't push there.)

VOTE: Nero

[Almost50]

TLDR (for those who can't read): Nero has access to a PT with someone who is still alive, so not T3's target last night and not the other Mason (since Dunn claimed he is). Nero is either Mafia or WW, but his defence of Elsa make me lean WW

[Almost50]

It doesn't matter to me who was, because with both T3 & nom dead my result would have been "canNOT communicate" if Nero was the lone member of the T3 hood

[Almost50]

A50s result isn't fake. I mean I guess there's no point in me not claiming but I'm in a hood with kitty and andre

If true then this mod decided to pull a prank on ME. Why give me a 1-shot Traffic Analyzer when there are 2 Masons, a 3-members hood, and a 2-shot Neighbourizer? Not even taking Elsa's 1-shot Neighbourizer into account! Like, I was bound to get a fake result if that's the case!

[Almost50]

A50, can you explain why you waited until night 2 to use your power?

but I couldn't act N1

Mod didn't want me to get a fake result on 2 Masons + 3 members hood, so he decided I should have "theoretically" another 2 neighbours in T3 & Elsa's targets!

@Nero: And it didn't raise your suspicion or even curiosity that there's a 3-members hood on top of 2 claimed neigbourizers on D1??

[Almost50]

I doubt that hood is all town.

I hate to outguess THIS mod, but my theory now would be 1 of each alignment. (that way whomever I "guilty" is protected by the other two)

[Almost50]

Because it would have blown my mind to see I was put in a hood with not one but two others, and then find there are 2 Neighbourozer claims out there. Like, that certainly isn't that common in practice, is it?

[Almost50]

I still dont follow what was the post about
can someone explain what really has happened here!

Which post? Cyrus'?? If that's what you're asking, he's suggesting the hood of Nero/Kitty/Andres is 1-1-1

Kitty post that got them to force replaced. what happened there? I am confused.

He quoted posts from a PT, which is breaking the rule of NO QUOTING PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS

[Almost50]

@Nero: My vote is still on you too, mate. I like cyrus' suggestion that there should be at least one "anti-town" in your hood (I think it's more like 1-1-1 in composition), because SERIOSULY, what was the designer thinking giving me ONE SHOT of Traffic Analyst with a 3-players hood. 2 Masons AND 2 Neighbourizers, and -on top of it all- not allowing me to use it on N1? Was my role designed to out the Masons?? To get a false on your hood and out it? To be wasted on a target that was neighbourized by either T3 or Elsa?

Like, let's forget about T3/Elsa for a second.. if your hood is all Town that's FIVE false guilties for me vs 4 or 6 correct ones. Now considering Elsa was a WW his use of the shot would have turned him into a "false false guilty" (that's a false guilty for being in a hood that's not the WWs PT, but then it's also a false result because he IS a WW and is in a "scum" PT). T3 is up in the air as he himself would have been a false negative and the mod could not have predicted that he will go for a Mason (already one of the initial 5 falses).

So -in short- my money is on there being scum (of either or both factions) in your PT, which would make my Role a bit more meaningful. Otherwise it's nothing short of a troll.

[Almost50]

In other words, you want me to ignore the "info" I've been given overnight, and play like nothing happened? Why should I vote someone who is not the PT I outed? If not you then Psyche or Andres.

Actually, given the the option pull the trigger on one of you I'd say Andres should be it. He has hardly done anything all game. Do you think Andres is Scum (of either alignment)?

[Almost50]

Both kitty and I have said that andre is most likely scum. You know there has to be scum outside my hood even if andre/kitty is scum, right? 1 or 3 depending on the setup

Is it not easier to look for 1 scum in 3 though?? Both you and Kitty have implied you wanted us to leave this hood alone for today, which is making you both look more sus in my eyes.

[Almost50]

But the info you have is meaningless unless you think kitty andre and I are scum that's just pretending like we have a hood.

I thought I made it clear I think TWO of you are Scum. I said I would expect it to be a 1-1-1 hood. That's 66.667% a chance to hit an anti-town player yeeting in the hood at random.

[Almost50]

I don't think I ever said to leave the hood alone. We can get andre I don't mind, it's just that I think titus' are arcs play is obv scum.

Good. So we can get either (or both) next. I mean, we're not too close to ELo, are we? I am just going for what I perceive to be the highest probability possible for flipping scum.

Also, let me think aloud: I am not saying this is the case, but

what if

.. there are 3 scums in each sides, and what if you are playing the craziest gambit of all, outing your team?? I mean, it would be a high-risk high-reward move, as none of you could be "guiltied" for having access to a PT anymore, and IF one gets flipped you'd still be able to claim it was a Neighbourhood, so the other two are unlikely to be Scum as well. Of course this would mean you are Mafia (which isn't even what I suspected you to be when I picked you for my target), and it assumes the WWs would also be convinced enough not to shoot inside that hood when hunting for Mafia. It does sound crazy (I already said that) but would have deserved a Scummy Award if it went through.

Allowing myself to go even further down that road, Andres would probably be the Goon (or the weakest Role), since that's whom you are willing to bus.

I want to hear from Psyche though before I decide on this. For the time being..

UNVOTE:

[Almost50]

I am, aside from being a Neighbor that apparently can’t trust my neighbors from keeping our conversations inside of that thread without pasting them directly (who doesn’t actually know that’s a rule in a bloody Mafia game?), a 2-Shot Simple Doctor.

The reason I’m revealing this now is because, as you might have guessed, I’ve used both shots protecting humaneatingmonkey both nights. I thought they were obvious Town at first, but for

some

reason I can’t figure out, they weren’t shot at. We know this because, well, 2 players have died every night.

I think that’s fascinating. Obviously I caught some of the softs so I didn’t protect Dan even though I was pretty sure they were Town (you can see my reads N1 already).

I voted for Gamma because of how they defended Elsa Jay - I would have done the same in almost any circumstance, because I felt that was particularly incriminating. I feel Iecerint and cyrus62 fit a bit of the same bill. And I found them somewhat Scummy for other reasons.

I thought all this was good posting (and I buy the claim since we don't have a protective per se, unless you count the protective part of the JK).

However; as I turned on to the next page I read:

Simple Doctor that’s limited? What’s the point? I can’t protect anybody meaningful, and the Scum or Werewolves or whatever are almost always going to try and shoot PRs or each other.

Well, isn't that a bit contradictory to your 1520?? I mean, you targeted HEM because you (a) thought he was Town and (b) hoped he was Vanilla. Yes? You explicitly said you thought he was Town, and your role cannot protect PRs anyway.

And you believe Scum are either targeting each other or are shooting down PRs (and judging by the flips it does look like they are indeed hunting down our PRs).

The question is: Why would it surprise you that someone you guessed was a VT was not shot by "PR-hunting-Scum"??

[Almost50]

I sure hope Psyche intends to post this day phase

[Almost50]

OK.. this is interesting. I wanted to scum hunt within the hood, and it looks like that's not happening. I don't particularly prefer one of the leading wagons over the other. On the one hand Arc would have been my preferred one if Titus didn't claim her guilty, because of Arc (and Lucifer) lack of presence in the game. However, the guilty is now making them "even" in my eyes.

Going by voters, I most TR Iec (actually I'm sheeping AD because I think he has good reads). Titus on the other hand wouldn't fake a guilty in this manner, knowing if Testa flipped Town (or even scum with a different role) she's going down next.

Hell, even the hood has Nero voting Arc and Dwlee voting Tess.

I shall be sheeping Dunn on this one.

@Dunn: Please vote.

[Almost50]

I'm so scummy you've decided to vote with me.

A50, vote test. Why sheep Dunn?

Good question, considering he's a confirmed Townie (Mason). I'll have to think for an answer to that one.

[Almost50]

Titus on the other hand wouldn't fake a guilty in this manner, knowing if Testa flipped Town (or even scum with a different role) she's going down next

Why isn't this enough to vote Tess?

because I want Tess didn't respond yet.

[Almost50]

Like I mean, I am a Role Cop. Which is exactly why I pushed for Titus out of the gate this day after targeting her N2.

Seriously?? Are you saying you literally sat on a guilty and tried to push Titus without outing your result??

[Almost50]

I think I want to vote Tess now, but I want Dunn to confirm his decision. (Yes, I do agree a FULL Rolecop is way too overpowered to be a Town Role, considering the number of other Investigative Roles we have).

[Almost50]

You do realize there are TWO monkeys around. Right? Which one are you claiming told a lie? Because I sure as hell didn't.

[Almost50]

I don't think I get anyone's play anymore!!

Dunn is Mason. That one is over and done with.

Andres is a 2-shot Simple Doctor who wasted both his shots on a PR??

HEM (said PR) blocked the same target twice??

cyrus I think is obv!Town but I am struggling to follow what he says (probably my bad, but he speaks such a strange English version. At least it's strange to me)

Dwlee's slot had been replaced twice? I get that the first one was a force replacement, but why did Psyche leave?? I wouldn't have asked if I didn't realize she was active in another game (a Newbie game that is now Over, and she was a Scum RB in it) and discussion threads.

Nero -surprisingly- isn't saying anything too crazy here. He does that as either alignments, so that's me saying I dunno what to expect there either.

Arc is being totally useless.

I'll sleep on this for a while.

[Almost50]

Is andres the only protective role claim/flip?

Depends on whether you consider the JK a protective or not

[Almost50]

I wanna find the wolf.

5-2-1 now

If we lim wolf -> 5-2 -> 4-2 after the scum kill (MyLo)

If we lim Mafia -> 5-1-1 and "it's complicated". Maybe they both kill each other. maybe one kills the other and the other kills townie. Or maybe they both aim for town (could be same town or 2 different ones). Worst case -of course is 2 kills on Town -> 3-1-1

If we mislim -> 4-2-1 and again it's complicated, but the worst case is 2-2-1 (significantly worse than 3-1-1)

I think it doesn't mater much if we lim the WW or a Mafioso today. It is important though that we do not mislim (and THIS is why I am hesitant).

To me, Dunn is confirmed a Townie and I TR cyrus the most. Andres is likely Town to me, which means 3 of HEM/Arc/Nero/Dwlee are "anti-Town".

IF I choose to buy Dwlee's claim to be hunting for the WW, then the last wolf is between HEM/Arc/Nero

I guess it's a no-brainer that Nero is the WW of the 3 (based on his interactions with Titus).

Disclaimer: The above analysis was based on Dwlee being sincere AND being Town. If that's the case, do we buy the hood had 1 WW and 2 Townies in it though? Like, what if Dwlee is the WW?? What if Andres fakeclaimed and is actually Mafia?? That would make Nero TOWN here, wouldn't it?

@Dunn: Are you following? What do you think?

[Almost50]

Also unless Hem is fake claiming role (not just alignment) I can't be WW here unless I was ascetic or something.

Oh, yeah. He said he RB'd you last night.

[Almost50]

I guess it's a no-brainer that Nero is the WW of the 3 (based on his interactions with Titus).

Then vote Nero with me? If you don't want a mislim and you're convinced that Nero is WW, just vote Nero with me?

Are you being selective? You ignored the "assumptions" above this quote, and ignored the disclaimer under it.

[Almost50]

I don't get how we're all convinced that Nero is scum from the reaction on Titus flip, but we're not building our wagon there.

I am not "convinced" Nero is scum. I am just considering all possibilities.

[Almost50]

I am redoing my math.. please hold

[Almost50]

OK..

VOTE: Nero

Nero was never on the elimination wagon. On D1 he was on cyrus, on D2 he was on Dunn, and on D3 he was on Arc. That IS Scum Nero. What alignment? Not sure, but I recall I suspected he was a WW after Elsa flipped WW, and again he was seesawing Testa, so I guess he's likely a WW.

EITHER WAY THOUGH, Nero flips Scum here I'm sure.

[Almost50]

No-brainer, verbatim.

I did the math and forgot you blocked Dwlee, so he can't be WW. He reminded me, so I acknowledged, but I didn't redo the math as I was thinking about "something else somewhere else".

I came back here and I remembered I suspected Nero was a WW after the Elsa flip. I also remembered he was not on the Testa wagon, so I needed to check where he ended up voting each day phase.

Town!Nero is aggressive, and doesn't back off even if proven wrong. Scum!Nero is passive and prefers to "hide" and acts "nicer than Town!Him".

By associatives he should be a WW, but he could also be Mafia avoiding the WW wagons to avoid being shot at night.

Either way the tone, the voting pattern, and the reluctance to solve within the hood despite him broadcasting suspicion of BOTH his neighbors are all pointers he is "anti-town".

[Almost50]

@MOD

, can you do a VC? I want to see how many people it takes to elim Nero.

What? Can you not count?? 8 Alive = 5 to lim.

[Almost50]

If I was scum I would have clawed my way onto the Elsa wagon. I wasn't there bc Dan hammered when I was waiting on ppl to talk at the end of d1. Let's actually kill scum, a50

Why were you off ALL elimination wagons though? If I let you get away with the Elsa one, why were you not on Gamma? And if you thought he was Town, why were you not on Tes?

My point is you usually go gang-ho for a lim, and especially so on D1. You're playing it safe here it seems. THAT is my point.

[Almost50]

This was B4 testarosa's Cc. I was pushing Titus B4 she claimed a "guilty" and you know I was like right n all

On surface level this might be true. But you ended the day voting ARC. Not Testa & not Titus... knowing at least one had to be Scum (because of the CC) you opted to vote ELSEWHERE. Why?

[Almost50]

I've never refused to eliminate from my hood (I assume that's what you mean by solve) and I'm not sure what gives you that impression other than my voting someone else that I think is scummy

Exactly! You have always said you wouldn't mind it, but you never actually pushed for it.

[Almost50]

also why do you think andre is scum? i don't think he's scummy.

His doc clime any doc would have protected nom or t3 n2 .

He claimed SIMPLE though, and T3 was claimed on D1 iirc, so Andres could not have protected him anyway.

Do you understand what Simple means? It means he can only protect VT (or Goon). Only Vanilla targets are protected. If he targets a PR the protection fails.

[Almost50]

Eh..

UNVOTE:

DUNN PLEASE HELP ME OUT! (I only trust your reads when I know you're Town, and you ARE confirmed Town here, so please please come talk to me)

P-edit: You guys...

VOTE: Nero

FTR, if Nero flips MAFIA; HEM is clear. He wouldn't be going this hard for Nero if he was the last of his kind. If Nero flip WW though HEM could still be Mafia.

[Almost50]

UNVOTE:

I guess my problem here is "I think" Nero wouldn't have shot Titus here. I am trying to put myself in a "Scum!Nero mindset" and I think it was best for him to keep her alive to appear extra busy hunting for her.

I don't know anymore..

[Almost50]

i just realized that if you're a simple doctor, it doesn't make sense to target the towniest person because they could be pr

I disagree. Those who appear extra townie from the get go are usually the powerless. PRs like to play it safe.. hide in the shadows to avoid attention. That's why I almost always SR TPRs.

[Almost50]

the obvious strategy was just waiting for who claimed vanilla and then using all shots there to stop a night kill.

Mate, stop to think about it for a minute. Let's say YOU are a Simple Doctor. If you wait for someone to claim VT you are (a) Not protecting anyone until said VT claims, and (b) are protecting someone who is very unlikely to get shot at

because

they are a claimed VT. I mean, what Scum ignores TPRs, ignores the other Scum team, and decides to shoot at a claimed VT?

[Almost50]

Would you have voted out Titus, the girl who counterclaimed scum? Remember: T3 counterclaimed Elsa, and T3 ended up being town.

I don't know what I would have done. I am trying to figure out what NERO would have done if he was Scum. Also I do realize there are TWO scum teams, so yes there was a chance I would have voted Titus out still, because it didn't make sense for one team to have a role as powerful as a FULL ROLECOP and the other not having it.

[Almost50]

Titus would have been impossible to elim.

Just because you got Scum doesn't mean you are Town. You could still be "other Scum". This is the main difference between single and multi-ball.

[Almost50]

PRs like to play it safe.. hide in the shadows to avoid attention.

Patently wrong. ActionDan was PR. He was leading the town.

Mate, I was speaking "on general". Dan is experienced enough he can handle his own stuff. The reason "most" players play it safe is they get excited rolling TPR and they want to actually use it for the benefit of the town.

[Almost50]

Like, I don't know what else to say, so I'm going to second Dwlee's request:

@Arc: PLEASE CLAIM IN YOUR NEXT POST
@Nero: Please claim as soon as Arc does

Thank you both

[Almost50]

VOTE: Arc

Still not 100% sold, but I've done a quick skim of her play and she doesn't strike me as the N_M type that she's trying to sell herself to be in here. I get the feeling if she was indeed a VT she'd be like.. all in because she really would have had nothing to lose.

[Almost50]

Why the sudden change, A50? You said Nero was gonna flip scum 100%

1- You're not reading what I say
2- You misunderstand what I say
3- You purposefully are misquoting me

Pick one

[Almost50]

And your point is??

Let me try to guess?? "Nero flips Scum here I'm sure." has been interpreted in your mind to "Nero's gonna flip scum 100%"?? If that's it, I'm sorry to report that I use the phrase |I'm sure" to show confidence starting like 70%. It's more like "more likely than not".

And besides, there are THREE scums alive, and Dunn has not put Nero in his reads.

[Almost50]

can you give us a reason to buy your doc clime?

I suspect I finally found out what's bugging me about your posts. You're using voice recognition. Right? You are verbally telling your phone what to type. Sometimes it interprets your words differently and THAT is what's making them hard for me to comprehend.

Let me know if I'm correct. Thank you

[Almost50]

20 hours till end of day maybe if every one typed arcs full name when voteing we would get a flip

VOTE: ArcAngel9

[Almost50]

So I think ythan is evil y'all

I agree. Andres had HEM as his top TR in both his readlists, so if the slot is evil it's the last Mafioso.

Dwlee is virtually clear here. Nero is definitely NOT Mafia. Still think he might be the WW

cyrus is still a TR to me. I can't explain it in words, bur he doesn't strike me as a deepwolf. He was also on each and every lim wagon, and I don't think Scum!him would be. Not that I know cyrus that well, but that's the impression I got on him from past experiences.

If I want to confuse myself I can accuse Dwlee of being Mafia with HEM and that HEM faked that RB on him. I could also try to make it look like I suspect cyrus, but I'd be a liar in both cases.

Suffice it to say my lim pool today is between Ythan/Nero. The good thing is if we mislim we still have a chance to win this tomorrow, provided at least one of the scum shoots the other. (If they both cross kill we win it overnight).

[Almost50]

damnit

Welcome back

[Almost50]

What missing action? Remind me..

[Almost50]

Yeah. The Gamma no result makes it more likely HEM blocked Gamma on N1, I agree. But he did block someone on N3. If that was Dwlee; why did he announce it? If it wasn't then whom?

I mean, HEM was obviously hunting for the WW on N3. Right? The WW kill did go through, so whomever HEM blocked isn't it. Now why would he lie about it if he blocked someone OTHER than Dwlee? The only answer is rather than clearing a Townie he opted to clear his own partner. But that doesn't make much sense either because the minute HEM flipped his "partner" Dwlee is caught too.

Another way to think about it is HEM did block Dwlee and declared it exactly for this reason. To frame Dwlee upon his flip. HEM knew Dwlee wasn't the WW and -with Town looking to eliminate the WWs- didn't want Dwlee to be the lim of the day, but kept him as a later mislim.

I dunno, but the second proposition looks more likely to me. Did anyone play with Scum!Hem before?? Can anyone tell me how good at planning ahead he is at scum?

[Almost50]

LOL

I went to check HEM's previous games and it looks like he rolled Scum in his first game. He won it too.

However, there's not much of anything in the Mafia chat of that game. Bellaphant died too soon it seems for them to have had a meaningful conversation.

Will look further

[Almost50]

Yeah, this doesn't look like a great scum player either

He also replaced out of Mini Normal 1976 (as scum with rb). I didn't look at the game thread itself, but rather the Scum PT as I wanna know how he thinks not how he plays (he's already flipped here)

This guy plays a lot of Micros

This made me laugh. He's proposing to block a dead player. Yeah, I'm done with this. Dwlee is more likely Town.

(although it just struck me, if Dwlee is Scum then HE would have been the mastermind of HEM's claim to have blocked him. Yet again, he certainly wouldn't have instructed HEM to add that he still could be Mafia there. Occam's Razor: Dwlee is Town)

[Almost50]

There is a world where A50 claimed PT cop on Nero because Titus role copped Nero as a neighbor hmmm

Yep. And we held on to the result until she also Rolecopped Testa then decided to out both results on the same day.

[Almost50]

And if ythan is town then scum are going to need to cross kill to prevent a draw. A50/Cyrus thoughts on the plan?

As I said, I'm fine voting Ythan or Nero (and frankly Ythan more than Nero because Nero is at least playing the game, and if he is WW as I suspect he deserves to be in E-Lo at the very least. If he's NOT the WW then he must be Town, so still prefer Ythan)

[Almost50]

Like, right now I think my lim order/preference would be: Ythan > Nero > Dwlee > cyrus

P-edit: Damn!

Wait a second: WW's had a full Rolecop & a 1-shot Neighborizer. Mafia had a 2-shot Rolecop & an Odd Night RB. If the 3rd WW is Ascetic, how do you balance that? The Mafia had no way of finding him.

Anyway, we flip Ythan and whoever is still alive tomorrow can rethink it all over. Right?

[Almost50]

Is there a reason why ythan can't be ww? Rolecops can be used to hunt the ascetic. We also don't know the last scum role

Huh?? Rolecops will get NO RESULT on an Ascetic.

[Almost50]

Lol my thoughts will be different I live by one rule D.T.A. . I find dw play very whiplash like . A50 is some sort one I will iso Nero is the person I would rather see at end game. So here is my plan.

Man, I wish I spoke your language!! What is DTA? (Google gave me

Department of Transitional Assistance

, and in second place

tax convention or double tax agreement

(in Australia), then

Domestic Tariff Area

(in India), then I GAVE UP!)

Oh, and there's a jxdn song by than name it seems.

[Almost50]

A50 can you give us all a recap of

who town over all viewed as scum

and please dig deep I want even dead reads.

Translation to the bolded please?

[Almost50]

OIC.. I could do that.. hold on

[Almost50]

I'll ISO every flipped Townie in the order they appear on the players list, so starting with T3 and the last "read" he put was:

Multiball with 2 scum per team is very bad for bussing. Scum are going to hard defend their scumpartner. Elsa hard defends Kitty for no reason. Later in the day Elsa moves on to Kitty as it seems he is being limmed. This feels like a last-ditch distancing attempt.

This obviously has 2 flaws: (a) Scum teams are apparently of 3 not 2 members, and (b) Kitty (Dwlee) can't be a WW as per HEM's check

Before that T3 was agreeing with you that he wanted to vote off Kitty over Gamma

And that sums it up for T3's reads on D2 (the day before he was killed)

[Almost50]

Gamma's last reads were

I liked Arc’s entrance, Andres idk

A few hours before that he was suspicious of Kitty too. (1233)|

Note: I have omitted Gamma's suspicion on Dunn as Dunn is already flipped

[Almost50]

Arc's last post was:

i said it. there is scum is my wagon. just look at that!!

And this is the final VC:

AD's semi-final post I don't really get:

VOTE: Elsa Jay

Before I go. Like justice kavanaugh, I like beer.

But I also like guns.

As for this day? Borat would say, Great Success!

A bit of both nero

Was this mean to be a crumb of some kind? because AD was an EVEN NIGHT Jailer, so it doesn't look like one to me, but not long before he had said:

Blue names are people who I have given me at least some reason to believe that they're not aligned with Elsa.

Also, I'm interested in hearing if anybody disagrees with any of this

I'd argue nero has a chance to be a partner

This was after EJ had scumclaimed.

Earlier he had declared gamma/cyrus TOWN.

Tha last "readlist resembling" post of his was:

Well bit of a slog catching up.

Firstly its so nice just having some more sane people playing. I was slowly losing my mind reading the thread up until Iec's entrance.

I think Gamma/Iec/Titus/Cyrus are town without equivocation. Also very much liking Testa's entrance as well.

My priority is to sort Elsa and Kitty. Both egregiously play against their alignment whatever it may be, which generally I don't try to fault the players for but each has both had multiple games of experience on site and each has had the audacity on different occasions to refer to other players as "LHF" and "stupid town" and "miselim bait".

I have no idea how I will do that with Kitty. In a vacuum their recent vote looks both shallow, opportunistic, and not original. This lazy posting isn't new. Perhaps some sort of meta dive has to be done just like it must be done for Elsa.

I'm going to read the game Iec linked to see if this is standard for her town play too or if I notice any relevant differences. @Almost unless I missed it I'd still like a scum game of Elsa's. It's been my interpretation that your vote on Elsa is serious and that you think they are acting as they do when scum.

Finally with regards to HEM I will check whether his queries have amounted to substantive scumhunting or if they are but puffed up chestbeating as Gamma/Iec think. My impression of the slot is that I tend to agree with the content he says, which is always a good sign but have not established a stronger town read because of the way he says it.

I did not find the series of posts that made ndMath townread Titus particularly convincing. The first was nonsense, and the latter two are imo bland.

[Almost50]

NDMath:

I think this is the most relevant post

Spoiler: reordered elsa's reads so I can process it better

Gamma: honestly big townread for stirring the pot enough. Even if he doubts me, he's playing to town meta.

Lecerint: biggest defender of me, ironically. Don't think he's scum pocketing me either considering it seems likely atm I die. Still working on changing that but town.

Math: don't like he voted me after claim but he probably is just siding with HEM's logic here. Beforehand he's been pretty town, so town.

Cyrus: compared the the last time I saw him he actually seems more insane. Funnily enough that might be a towntell.

Action: doesn't know me well so I forgive him for thinking I'm scum. Still actually trying to solve me too. Town lean. Oh and
@Dan: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=86090
There's my last Elsa scum game. Also the one with Kitty in it.

Nom: been on me too but is active enough to generate discussion. Town lean.

Nero: felt in the background but he's okay with my death too it seems. Last time I played him I think he was scum and did jack day 1. So considering he's solving a bit, nulltown.

HEM: The big guy. Frankly if I think about it, he's not really scumreading me because of my actions. He just doesn't understand my style at all. If that's the case, might actually be town. If faking that and just is trying to kill me for easy day 1, obviously scum. But the first seems more likely to me now.

---

T3: he counterclaimed me but since we know literally nothing elsa I'm okay waiting till day 2 to deal with that. Could just be neighborizor is common enough for a reason. Null for now.

Almost: he told me to shut up earlier about defending Kitty and I wish I listened. Null at the moment purely because he's probably waiting till day 2 or 3 too make his move

Lucifer: getting replaced so no read.

Dunn: stuck with a gutread on me in the first few pages and isn't looking anywhere elsa either like Titus. Expected better but he seems more committed to me dying so null.

Andre: new phone who dis? Literally nothing here so null.

---

Testarossa: earlier said the strongest scumlean was T3 but now seems chill with him? Dunno. If she's a quiet person or just busy it's null. If she's normally active maybe scumlean? Feels more gutsy.

Titus: wanted to instantly townread her but it feels like she just... Took me as sus and went with it? She should know better. I expected more of her by now. Scumlean.

Kitty: a non prescence now that I took the heat off of him. Turned on me immediately as well. I was stupid so now he feels safe. Scummy.


That list... Wasn't as helpful as I wanted it but I got soaked running home in the rain and I'm sleepy so I'm posting the beta now. Ftr my nulls could be more passive scum.

I think I like this? There's nothing I have a problem with.

He took EJ's readlist and reordered it and stated he had no problem with any of it

Iec:

It's true that Andres (and I) joined the game to play with Dan. I doubt he would kill Dan if scum in this situation (like, I'd suspect he wants to play with Dan more than he wants to win, even if scum), though he could be on whichever team didn't kill Dan.

"Simple" seems very weak in this set-up given the flips and claimed roles so far, especially with limited-shot being added.

With the knowledge that the neighborhood exists, I think A50's behavior is null (unless the neighborhood is all town, and then his prior probability of being town is low, anyway). This is because scumA50 would already be aware of the neighborhood and would have the information necessary to play this out.

And before those:

Gamma wagon when she was reticent: [Iecerint], cyrus62, Andresvmb, Dunnstral, [nomnomnom]

That would mean the buddy is probably Cyrus or Andres.

Disclaimer: I haven't played with AA in a very long time and don't remember if there's something idiosyncratic about how they play that accounts for their behavior.

Note: By partner he meant WW (partner to EJ)

So he suspected Andres/cyrus to be WW but also thought Andres wouldn't shoot Dan on N1.

I don't really get 1544, but -at least- it's now a proven fact that if I'm Scum (of either faction) that I was not informed of the Hood via a partner. I dunno if that should make me more likely Town or Scum to him though.

Did everyone but Nero scumread my slot?

I think if you ISO Kitty you'd get the same read regardless of your Role PM.

One more to go..

[Almost50]

nom nom nom nom nom nom nom...

First and foremost I'll include this one for Dwlee's entertainment..

Feel free to talk to me about other slots I'm curious about how you feel about other slots, especially Kitty and the other lurkier slots in the game

Before that nom was busy defending Dunn and pushing Gamma with a minor mention of a TR on cyrus (this was during a back & forth with HEM, which points to cyrus not being Mafia at the very least)

[Almost50]

So I guess everyone wanted to flip Dwlee's slot earlier, but I still don't think it the right way to go.

Like, disregarding my own reads and going by what I've just quoted I think neither cyrus nor Nero stand a chance of being Mafia here, while Dwlee is definitely not WW. The only one that can go either way imho is Andres (at first I thought HEM's flip on him meant he can't be Mafia, but while skimming HEM's old games I saw him telling rb to be prepared for bussing, so I dunno anymore)

[Almost50]

OK, this is quite confusing (and a bit scary to be honest).

@Dwlee: Why are we complicating matters? You agree Ythan is "anti-Town" here. Right? We get him and we go into the night as 3-1 and are guaranteed to see the light tomorrow, then you can have it with Nero all you like. WHY risk going into the night as 2-1-1? And who says scum "have to" cross kill?? What if they decided to go for a joint win over our dead bodies?

I don't even get how you got the idea in the first place. Weren't you the one who started the day with the conclusion ythan was evil?? Why change now?

Also 2214 is bad, because the same applies to Nero. You're both trying to get each other, so why is it suicidal for Scum!you to lim Town!Nero and not vice versa?

I certainly am not defending Nero here, but I feel kinda spooky at his plan, and given in your last "Scum appearance" with me you really took me for a ride I just want to go by the safest route and hope to be shot tonight to spare me from being in the final 3. I almost never make the right decision in those.

@cyrus: You're playing my paranoia here. You were there when this happened:

The mafia consisting of Dwlee99 (Complex Fruit Vendor), Bambi Jay (Mafia Goon), and cyrus62 (Mafia Goon) has won!

Now what am I supposed to do??

[Almost50]

I just think if you and Cyrus are okay with my logic here that we can kill Nero first.

Obviously neither of us is ok with it, and all you managed to do is raise cyrus' suspicion and my paranoia. Bad move/timing regardless of your alignment.

He isn't trying to lim me today, which I think is fairly obvious, because he knows ythan and him will cross kill.

I got the impression he was. He isn't voting Ythan and isn't really pushing me or cyrus. Who do you think Nero wants to lim?

Hell, why am I asking you??

@Nero: Who do you want to lim today??

[Almost50]

You should consider whether scum!dwlee would risk being night killed here rather than just killing Nero tomorrow.

Mate; I concluded that you definitely cannot be WW and Nero cannot be Mafia. Theoretically you could be Mafia and suspect/know he's the WW and are thus trying to guarantee not getting shot tonight by eliminating him today!!!

You were openly saying that I am just not evil, so taking you to ELO against Nero would have almost certainly just resulted in me winning if I'm evil. So why change plans and risk being night killed by ythan?

You also were my top TR in that game with Bambi & cyrus until the very end. I was shocked to learn that you were the 3rd scum in the dead PT. And no.. taking me to the final 3 doesn't guarantee you anything because I'm known to make some random moves when it really counts (remember when I said tris scumslipped and then voted Stygian??).

As for why change plans, reread the comment below the first quote. If you think/know Nero is the WW and you are the Mafia then it follows you want to get rid of the opposing scumster to make sure you're not shot tonight. Nobody's going to lim you over Ythan in a 3-players E-lo.

Also, in your proposition you implied if you were scum you'd be shooting cyrus here (after flipping Ythan), and that would force me to reconsider the situation between you and Nero for sure, as cyrus is currently pushing you even over Nero, so why would Nero shoot him??

[Almost50]

i want dw he feels wolf to me maybe nero is last scum or ythen but removeing dw from the table would make me feel better

How confident are you? Can you back it up with like something from that previous game when you were scum with him? Or maybe any other scum game of his?? I started the day with some confidence we were winning this with some ease, and now I am like.. "I wish I checked Kitty instead".

[Almost50]

As a whole response to your points: I think ythan's flip will show that I am not final scum because in my solve ythan flips mafia here.

And that's exactly what I'm hoping for, as it makes you a confirmed Townie beyond any shadow of doubt.

[Almost50]

Ythen would have killed me over hem

1- Why would Ythan kill you over HEM?
2- By my reads (and Dwlee's) Ythan should flip HEM's partner, so he didn't kill HEM anyway.

[Almost50]

VOTE: Ythan

E-1

This is my solve. This is the way to go imho.

Note than Ythan's ONLY post of the day was "Morning friends". If anyone thinks this is Town!Ythan in a 3-1-1 situation you're either out of your mind or I don't know Ythan at all (I don't FULLY know him but I did play with him before)

[Almost50]

You know what? ALL I care about now id for YOU not to be Scum this game. because if you are, not only did I just lose us the game (by turning down cyrus' invitation to vote you), and not only will it be the second time in a row (although I TR'd you harder in OutWorldER 's game), but ALSO because I'd almost make picture you as "Dwlee Jay" (that's to say I'd feel about you as I feel about Bambi/Elsa Jay).

So let's prey Ythan flips MAFIA for my mind to STOP this ridiculous doubt - redoubt - re-redoubt vicious cycle process

[Almost50]

See you guys are dumb almost50 why did you not vote with me. I said we could have gone Nero or dw but instead you were lead.

I am trying to make the best decision under the circumstances. If Ythan is Town (say) we already lost, because he won't be of much use to Town in the final 3 anyway. HOWEVER, as Dwlee pointed out.. if we remove Town!Ythan (again, hypothetical assumption here) Scum have more incentive to cross-kill and -possibly- granting us the win still.

If I went Dwlee/Nero and hit scum, then either you or me gets shot by the remaining scum and then it's one of us vs "unknown" Ythan and "suspect" Nero/Dwlee (which I probably would have been fine with if I was guaranteed to die tonight so YOU can go through that hell).

Even if we hit TOWN between Dwlee/Nero (meaning we go into night as 2-1-1) I doubt Ythan makes the correct kill, and thus the surviving Scum of the two wins the game.

Basically, I was on "auto-pilot", as I know I usually get it wrong when I change my mind in the final hurdle, so I decided to go for what I perceived to be the best choice at the start of the day and neglect all the noises after that point.

P-edit: NOW he shows up.

I do apologize in advance if Ythan somehow flips Town, but

until this very moment

I still can't see it being the case.

[Almost50]

YAAAY! My first Scum win of the year!!

[Almost50]

yep

FTR, I knew you were WW since I saw Elsa's flip on D1, which is why I checked you. However, I didn't want to shoot you and was hoping the Town will finally come to it's senses and lim you (so i won't be the one who killed you)

[Almost50]

I don’t know if this is justified but I get the feeling A50 did me dirty this game

I really didn't. I genuinely didn't know if you were a WW or not.

[Almost50]

gg at Titus and her band of monkeys! Especially A50, I think besides Gamma there wasn't really anyone from town seriously scumreading him. That was now a second time in multiball here where I am wolf and A50 is red Mafia, going to keep that in mind for next time.

[Almost50]

we also rolecopped a50 so I knew he was lying wich I should have known was a gulity but I'm just dumb and bad I suppose.

It wasn't 9a guilty) because that's what I would have done regardless. As Town I would have needed to live to use my second shot so I would have claimed 1-shot still.

Prepare to get greatest plan’ed

Also, my favorite Pokémon Rangers game is Guardian Signs jsyk

I don't even know what this means exactly, but I wanted to include it in the catch up in case it did make sense later on.

He obviously knew what it meant. You'd have to be blind not to see the crumb if you took 2 secs to actually look at the post. But he posted it anyway. I thought he was doing it to showcase it to the other team.

Well, believe it or not I didn't get it until HEM pointed out Gamma's reference to that game after the day had already ended. ONLY THEN did it make sense to me.
