Lol, you guys have pretty much backed yourself into a corner.
SpyreX, CF Riot and Porkens are inarguably very strongly linked to one another. Skimming the game history I see SpyreX put a serum vote on for Porkens in 107 (arguably a joke vote)
Post 209 CF Riot: "I read Porkens as pro-town". This sentence stands by itself in the middle of the post with no justification, lol.
On the way look @ 228 where SpyreX "likes everything CF Riot" says. I'm just picking these out when they happen to catch my eye.
It's also blatantly obvious they've consistently bandwagoned Timeater, and, to a lesser extent Wall-E (from what I can recall)
And look at Natirasha's vote post 272, after it had been determined to randomly assign the serum. Note randomly, as in not prone to scum interference:
"Porkens(1): SpyreX
Tuberkulos(7): Timeater, ortolan, TonyMontana, geraintm, Wall-E, Seraphim, Illumina "
Again these three stand out from the rest- none of them are voting for the intended random recipient of the serum. The only other people not voting are Tuberkulos himself (inactive), and Gremwell (also relatively inactive all game IIRC).
In post 365 CF Riot starts his campaign to give SpyreX the serum (later he suggests it's something to do with SpyreX expressing great logic all game or something, funny that you guys have unwaveringly felt that way about each other all game).
-Four possibilities on this campaign: CF Riot has independently come to believe that SpyreX is a great, logical poster and thus wants to go against the whole random assignment thing in favour of his hunch. This seems pretty unlikely, but maybe is possible. Why would CF Riot go against the grain of random voting simply to serum someone he "thinks" has a good town vibe? Second possibility, CF Riot is scum and SpyreX is town. If so WHY would CF Riot go against the grain to give the serum to someone he knows will get a pro-town power? This is why neither of these first two possibilities are at all viable. The third, and I'm not gonna exclude this possibility just yet- they are masons. That is why they've been so close all game, and that is why they would want to serum one another. Fourth possibility: he's scum, and this was a blatant gambit to give the serum to scum. And just in case it isn't obvious what this means- CF Riot and SpyreX being independently town is implausible. CF Riot being scum and SpyreX being town is implausible. The only possibilities is that they are masons, or scum. This means, CF Riot, that your following quote:
How does Spyre flipping town say anything about mine or Porken's alignment? I don't think our 3 alignments are directly related that way. Yes, Spyre flipping scum would implicate me, and vice versa. Either of us flipping town shouldn't confirm either of the others as town though.
is simply wrong. SpyreX's flip dictates ALOT about your alignment. As the second possibility above (that you are scum and he is town) is implausible, if he flips town it STRONGLY implies you are also town. In this case at least, Porkens is a different matter, and you might suggest he can not be associated with you two in this case. Either way, I find it hard to believe you wouldn't recognise this and wouldn't support the plan in accordance. (makes me lean towards the hypothesis you're both scum and either being flipped would give the game away)
Read post 371 supports my thesis to the letter. Post 374, come on, this is BLATANT WIFOM, and not of the good variety.
The only, _only_ point of difference I see in this group the whole game is Porkens wants to keep the random serum assignment while CF Riot and SpyreX try to divert it (however Porkens obviously didn't like the random serum assignment enough to say...support it with his vote). It's eminently possible he's just seized on one minor point of difference with his buddies to try to distance them from one another.
Finally, post 418, SpyreX's gambit:
"I'll raise you one. I am not a metal. I can be hung today. If you're so sure about your "gambit" - hang me and offer yourself up for the lynch. If I'm scum, well, then your awesome abilities nailed two. When I flip town, they can hang you tomorrow and I double win."
Hey this sounds good to me, I'll vote in favour of it. Furthermore; I think, surely seeing as it's obvious CF Riot, SpyreX and Porkens are so strongly associated with each other, they would jump at the chance to have one of their number lynched and their alignment revealed, to vindicate them for the rest of the game. Oh wait.
