What else does jon know? He already claimed a PR, probably a watcher.
I've seen GIF pull tricks out of his sleeve as scum. Doubt it this game, but something to think about.
I have no clue on NS. Meta says town, but could he be playing off of his meta?
I think DV is town and I don't think we have 2 scum remaining. That would leave bubba or KTB. I think KTB is town, so if you lynch me today you should go after bubba tomorrow.
Vote bubba
The first half of this post ended up being pretty good. The second half, not so much.
This was a torturous game for those watching, but it was fun to mod. No real issues (except one very minor mod slip-up that did not influence the game in any way). Great activity, which I would like to thank you all for - with only 3 activity-based replacements (and one of them being me throwing AA out of his hydra), you guys made this pretty damn easy for my first time. Thanks for being gentle.
Let's talk gameplay. OMG. When a PR claim is contradicted by someone else, and that someone else flips town, you now have 0 excuses not to lynch the lying PR. Props to GIF for talking his way out of situations that I probably would have just self-voted during. GIF was persistent despite all odds (even if he tended to cause the bad odds). This was definitely more a case of town losing than scum winning, though. See Dead QT for more details - seriously, it's like 280 posts of us going "WHY TOWN WHY". It was really fun to participate in though - I rarely see Dead QTs that active, and it's very fun for the mod when they're able to talk to deceased players actively about how the game is unfolding throughout. Cheers especially to Amrun for keeping me comapny in there.
Let's talk balance. Yes, town has a lot of protective power. But look at the game - 9v3v1. My reviewers and I were concerned with a worst-case scenario in which the SK stays alive for awhile and the SK/scum team hit all or primarily town players. This could mean a loss for town with only a single mislynch in a worst case scenario. To counteract that, a decent number of protective roles were put in. I'm happy with the balance of town power, even if they did wind up being overpowered by Day 3 due to the early SK lynch and the decision by AJ not to kill at all. Of course, that's not something I can plan for, as if I planned on the SK not killing the result would be a hopelessly underpowered town if the SK actually killed (which tends to happen more often than not). On final reflection, I'm actually not so happy with the scum power. The RoleCop should have been a Roleblocker. They won anyway, though, so *shrug*. You live and you learn.
I'm not going to advertise any of my upcoming games here because I don't want to pressure anyone or spam the thread, but if anyone is interested in participating in any future games I plan to mod, PM me. I'll be able to give you a list of setups in my pipeline (no gay jokes, please). I have quite a few stored up, some of which still have pre-ins available.
So yeah. Thanks for participating in this game. You guys played great.
I wanted to stab myself multiple times and just quit when Jon said "I know you visited someone else"
After that, I just went all "balls of steel" mode.

Yeah, looking back I want to restate my hammer post.
Should have went 'going with gut over logic'. I wasn't thinking clearly. I should have known that my initial thought when GiF claimed to have a result from last night on DV was correct in thinking that GiF was scum and screwed up by not claiming he was RB'ed. During my read during night phase, I even told myself that if he said he wasn't RB'ed he was scum fake claiming. I forgot I told myself that and fucked up. That was the logic part. In hindsight, I'm a complete moron.
If you think I'm scum D1, bet all your money I'm town.
Yeah honestly, you did, but you were far from the only person. Even DV was like "yeah, he looks more town than me" and I was like "sweet baby Jesus please stab me in the fucking face."
Jon probably wins the award for biggest derp though. Shit, dude.

And then a fucking watcher claim.
Managed to pull up bullshit logic to get Marc lynched. (I wanted him dead before he brings up newb 1339, which I pulled the same thing off)
Since I thought Jon "claimed" watcher, I srsly thought Marc commuted n3 instead of n2
And then bubba claims cop and suspects his inno so I thought he was fake
I was literally like "fuck I'm sooooooo screwed" so I lurked until bubba posts result (and prayed that he didn't get inno)
Ugh the hell I've been through after the fail setup spec
