9 alive; 5 to lynch.

[Xylthixlm]

Hmm.

Empking: Do you think MafiaSSK is a scum mason?

Yes

Do you think there are two scum masons?

I think its unlikely.

So if ortolan and MafiaSSK are scum and neither of the other masons is, and assuming we started with 5 scum - that leaves at least one scum between me, elvis_knits, image, and populartajo. Any guesses on who?

[Empking]

I'd guess Image or you. More likely Image.

posting now to avoid timer, catching up over the next hour

[populartajo]

Why the fuck are you pushing Empking?

Empking is a claimed doctor. The only targetting PR besides me. My whole towniness depends of him. If you think he is scum, then I am also scum. Who thinks me and Emp are scum together? It just doesnt make sense.

All of Elvis, ort and Xyl know that he is not the best player of the world and that asking questions is not the way to go. I just learned that the bad way. What do you expect to get of him other than he is such a terrible reasoner?

There HAS to be a scum in the ort-xyl pair. Elvis, which is already obv town, is not even playing as I expect her to be playing. Im strongly leaning to Xyl here but I really need to check ort before.

[Xylthixlm]

tajo, pay attention.

[populartajo]

Oh, you unvoted.

Why?

[Xylthixlm]

Oh, you unvoted.

Why?

I liked empking's answers enough to make me uncertain of his alignment.

Elaborate.

This is important.

[Xylthixlm]

Everything he said is consistent and empking-logical.

[ortolan]

imo daytalking masons assumed genuine indicates daytalking between scum- therefore Empking may have discussed/be currently discussing optimal play and the optimal answer to Xyl's question with his scumbuddies.

Empking nominates myself and MafiaSSK as probable scum. I know I am not scum, and strongly suspect SSK isn't. The only thing we seem to agree on is image.

Why doesn't it make sense?

[ortolan]

Hmm I think as per my earlier logic a tajo or image lynch is optimal

Posting to reset timer. Sorry I forgot to yesterday. I realise that it's kinda sketchy that I'm doing it now that it just got mentioned, but it's an unfortunate coincidence and there isn't much I can do about it at this point. I'll try to make a more meaningful post tomorrow.

[Xylthixlm]

Amazing how he pops in within 30 minutes of someone mentioning his timer. Almost like he's been reading the thread and deliberately not posting.

Lynch please.

[ortolan]

Amazing how he pops in within

30

5 minutes of someone mentioning his timer.

Still, point stands

tajo, if we can't ask him questions, how are we supposed to evaluate him? Are you just going to put all his bad play down as town bad play? What about scum bad play?

Also, I am still waiting for you to tell me why xyl is scum. I've gone back and forth on him several times and never really been able to feel too strongly one way or the other. So if you have a strong feeling, TELL ME WHY! I notice you played with him in MindScrew3, where he was scum. Similarities? Personally, I didn't have the patience to read much of the game and it was all weird mechanics so I found it hard to deduce anything about Xyl's scum play. But if you have a better read... speak up!

[ortolan]

if Xyl is scum, in light of the possible pairings, I have to say I am very, very, very impressed with his scum play. I don't think he is scum

[elvis_knits]

Okay, so this is what I think now:

tajo looking townier.

empking is slow, and tunneling on SSK.

Xyl and Ortolan have forged an unlikely mind meld.

All the masons are sucking hardcore, some to all could be scum.

image has given nothing of substance today, and seems to be trying to draw his lurker count over 72 hours.

I have a couple of conspiracy theories. I know the likelihood of them being true is not great, but I cannot get them out of my head.

1)tajo and empking are scum. They're the only power roles. It's weird. Although, if they're faking, could the masons be telling the truth?

2) All the masons are scum. SSK faking a PR is bad. Them not being able to work together is bad. Kinetic not wanting to even paraphrase the QT is REALLY bad. Kinetic not contributing anything to the game besides refusing to discuss the QT is REALLY REALLY bad.

So I'm not sure if either of those is really possible, but I keep thinking about it. Feel free to tell me why either or both is impossible.

I'm thinking it's most likely that some of the masons are scum, maybe 1-2, and that image is a buddy. And if there's more that that, perhaps Xyl is scum.

I currently think that image and kinetic are the scummiest.
