I'm happy returning to my previous vote.

VOTE: Naomi
I don't like this. There are tons of other roles that could lead to no-results. This could just give scum easy mislynches. This + your "scumslip" thing earlier really make it seem like you are out for excuses to push lynches.

At this point I think I am convinced enough to drop the Asphodel thing for the moment - though I'd like to revisit it later.

VOTE: Grey

I don't for a second buy an ascetic enabler + roleblocker/rolestopper in this game.

Now that I think about it, Grey's origonal vote on me seemed very forced.

Unless I misread your post. You are saying any ascetics are scum.

Town enabler suggests at least one town ascetics (obviously could be a red herring and we have none at all).

To say a no result = scum is not town thinking.

You're tunneled homie.

I'm saying town has a NU role that strengthens scum because any town ascetics would have claimed by now.

Scum is hiding behind their camouflage and will claim there's a roleblocker if someone gets a no result like krylea is already posturing for.

Scum like to push slips. They like to have a justified vote.
So thats why my tell on Grey works.
That tell works just about as well as all the other scumtells.

Negative utility always claims straight out the gate. You should be experienced enough to know that.

Grey is still pushing it without addressing my post about why this logic is bad and my case on him. Can we really lynch him at this point?

No they don't. The only role that I can see as the justifiable D1 claim out the gate is PGO, otherwise you help scum. Plus Ascetic is not necessarily negative utility. You will learn that with experience.

The onus is on you to prove that it's right.

Which you can't.

Ascetic isn't listed as a negative utility role but enabler is. That's weird.

I will ALWAYS make the point that pushing on fake slips is a scumtell, in every single game I ever play. Because it's been a very reliable tell for me. I'll let you in on a couple of my other tricks as well; being "excited" about the game when the general mood is depressed or uninterested to the point of wanting to abandon is a scumtell. Claiming an investigative PR and making a lot of content about who you're going to check the following night (especially framing it as an fos ie "For that I'm going to check YOU tonight") is a scumtell. Jumping on people for too quickly commenting on a nightkill is a scumtell. These are all things I will pretty much always points out when they happen, regardless of my alignment.

Scum love having a "justified" vote. Instinctively, they look for a vote where they can lean back on a "factual" basis. A "slip" is a perfect example. When you push on a slip, you're no longer making your own read, you're just saying A therefore B. There is no read, you're presenting it as a fact. And when the person you push flips town, you don't have to defend your "read" being wrong, you can just use that justification you built as a scape-goat. It's what scum subconsciously do ALL THE TIME. Yes, sometimes town will mistakenly think they've found a scumslip. Players like Mathblade are notorious for that kind of play. But as a general rule it's a scum tactic.
^ Something a player that I respect once told me.

Bad assumption.

Mafia have the info advantage and are actually (imo - not necessarily statistically proven) less likely to make aforementioned slips than a player that was town. The mafia care about their image cuz getting lynched is the last thing they want. Town cares much less, especially if vanilla.

It's terrible. There's likely ascetics in both alignments.
