I am pretty sure Mollie has Cephrir as town, unless something has recently changed her mind. Which I doubt.

It would make the most sense if you were a friendly neighbor or a 2-shot BP.
The fact you aren't raises eyebrows. What will it take for you to gain a power?

@Thor665, you asked about my take on the BatB-ffullisade slot a while ago. I'm pretty certain I haven't played a game where Majiffy or pirate mollie was scum, and from a meta POV they seem(ed) similar to their respective town play. In terms of the actual arguments, notably where you interact with the hydra, there seem to be some legit views there getting lost amid a burning desire to be right on all sides. Kind of what I'm getting out of a lot of you and Slandaar going back and forth, actually. Lots of focus on whose narrative to believe and less focus on whether the differences of interpretation or remembering facts is scummy or not. That's my overall impression, although I freely admit that I stopped reading the BatB hydra near the end of the day last day phase when things got hostile.

More specifically, looking back at fullisade's ISO, the sketchiest thing is fery coming in and talking about having read Red Ryu as scum off the first few pages of the game. The flip happened, it's not exactly going out on a limb to note a scum read there. The other player she mentions having a read on is Nachomamma8. If the evolution of events was that she read the beginning of the game over night phase and saw Red Ryu and Nacho as scummy, then saw one of them flip scum where (as far as I can tell) her reads on them aren't related, I'd expect to see a decent amount of confidence in the Nacho read. Instead there's not a lot of pushing there, with more recent posts looking to relate to Nachomamma8 as town if I'm reading right. That could be the pirate mollie head though.

Otherwise I don't have any reason to think ffullisade is scum right now.

WRT Bacde's case for thazmon221 being scum:

YES!

Town, I saved you. Thank me later. LOL! this is great

He just literally lied because he can't keep track of his opinions that are displayed in his posts. Lets look at this gem right here:

In post 3044, thezmon221 wrote:1) You know who doesn't have reads that change after flips (especially two flips)? Scum. Scum doesn't need to change their reads. Your case on Nacho is exactly the same as it was D1: Crap.

This is Thezmon's argument:

1) Bacde does A
2) Scum do A

3 (assumption) Town is much less likely to do A

4) (inference/implication) Bacde is scum

Yet he denies it.

Sheep Bacde. Scumhunting made easy.
No, not really. I think you're town, though dumb and useless. I always have, and quite possibly will for a while. The fact that I presented an action to you and clearly stated that scum did it was to garner interest from you, as well as to see where your motivations lie since you're stubborn. You see, it's been debated, even here in this thread, that dumb/useless town can be synonymous with scum. It's a gray area, so I'm trying to discern between the two and make sure I am on the correct side of the spectrum.

Irrespective of thazmon221's claim, which I don't entirely swallow, Bacde, you're completely ruling out any type of reaction test being used there? Because it seems to me that if you want to get someone's attention, you're more likely to succeed if you suggest you think they're outright scum rather than anti-town.

thazmon221, on the other hand, why didn't you use your vote to pressure Bacde in that situation, since it seems like he was doing something you found scummy?

Cephrir, why do you say that thazmon221 isn't activated as a back-up to a dead non-VT, specifically the first one killed?

No, the point doesn't remain, it has to be reconsidered from another angle (even if the conclusion stays the same). This is classic scum-pushing, narrow-minded and inflexible. I have no reason to doubt that Cephrir legitimately believes Thezmon to be scum, but he's not going about it in a remotely town way.

I'm fine with a Thezmon lynch, but the day is still young and I'd like Cephrir sorted out.

It's okay though, I know I'm not going to make it through a game with a decent player list without being lynched, I never have, so you might as well get it over with.

Nero Cain has a point. There's no reason you should care about his statement if you're town. Looks more like you were jumping on some random thing to look productive.

thezmon221 made it a point to not vote Bacde and is drawing the distinction between useless town and scum. If you truly believe that scum love useless town lynches, then shouldn't you be thinking thezmon221 is town because he is not trying to push a Bacde = scum argument?

If he's scum he's shooting himself in the foot by claiming that he doesn't have any powers yet, and it's dumb to claim universal backup as scum when pr's (and confirmable ones at that) have already died. I really don't think he's scum doing some fakeclaiming here. I think shenanigans are afoot in the setup.

Lynching Thez right now isn't a good idea whether he's scum or not. Someone vig him tonight. If he's lying scum, then he dies. If he's town then it means we're not wasting a lynch on a townie. If he got the BP role unknowingly, then he survives. If he actually did get the Friendly Neighbour role then we'll have someone able to confirm him as town tomorrow.

Well, because that seems to be what he's saying, and I would think he'd find out if this had occurred. My suspicion is that he assumed the role worked like the epicmafia Amnesiac (gets to pick when and where it takes on a role).

If I thought there weren't any reasonable ways to suspect me, I'd be suspicious of everyone who ever attacked me. CTD, for example has made a relatively logical attack that I'm hoping will be proved wrong by other flips soon enough.

I wasn't going to vote Thez but at this rate it will take forever to lynch him; hes scum it should be pretty obvious based on his claim alone; Universal Backup who failed to backup TWO PR? Na.

Even if you want to argue some WIFOM I suggest you just ignore the claim and think of it as VT as it clearly isn't a PR you should care about if it can't back anything up that dies.

Therefore we look at his play and come to the same conclusion of scum.

I was psyched to go after RR if we were alive on day 2. I'm glad he was NKed, but reading the day 2 opener was like stepping an unexpected step at the bottom of a stairwell. I feel like there will be some day 1 interactions with him that could be subtly enlightening. I'm still looking for them.

Mollie and I are both a little conflicted about Nacho. One of my goals today is to figure him out, and the way I manage that is by direct interaction.

My other goal is to help establish a town core, whether we are part of it or not. And figuring out Nacho and the Nacho/Bacde thing is key to that IMO.

This bandwagon is probably going to mess with my goals for day 2 actually. But, since my main goal is to lynch scum, I'm happy with how the bandwagon's going.

Your questions are addressed to Mollie's posts so I'm not going to try to answer them in entirety. Our vote on thezmon was my idea. Mollie wasn't around at the time, but I felt pretty confident it's the right thing to do. I'm trusting Bacde is correct. Since then, Mollie has indicated to me that she's ok with it, so we're sticking with this vote. She's aware of the role claim and the issues around it.

this pandering is nauseating and the logic and angle of this refutation is terrible. it is multi-ball and on this site scum have this idea that by lynching the other team they gain town cred jesus christ. there is no "desperate aTe cos I did not aTe you dummy.
