Close to verified isn't verified, but if you really believe El Topo is cleared, then you need to take a look at Launch.
I'm not going to throw out our name cops potential night 1 check just because he died and could not spell it out in bold. He did a good job of hiding it but still making it easy to find in retrospect. Let's try this though because you seem to be vested in this (I've thought about this a bit already). Why is it an either/or scenario with Launch or Topo? Let's take it as if both are telling the truth. Scum had no day communication and Launch was trying to wrangle people into a group investigation. Well, first off, everyone did a great job of not
saying that it was a group investigation, something I'm honestly shocked at. This means that some scum members may not have even realized that was what this might have been. Shocking, I know, but not all scum are super pro leet players, they may not have thought through what Launch was claiming and without a team to talk to might have just walked blindly into the trap, but let's pretend everyone knew what Launch was doing and this was all transparent.
Would scum have entered the vote? No, probably not, unless they were forced to. So case by case:
You entered the vote
here. It was after Launch had already said Camjo was the target I believe so you did willingly enter but there were quite a few times where Launch called for you, specifically, to stay in the vote. You even made him say aloud that he wanted you in the vote
here. So yeah, you entered willingly but leaving would have looked really bad if Launch ever flipped (again this exercise is just assuming Launch telling the truth) so you have vested interest in this either Topo or Launch is lying thing.
Next Xam enters the vote. His is an odd situation. He enters willingly for Launch but then tries to leave once
here, goes right back in a couple posts later because Launch does not specifically ask him to but does say that he wants three living people on there (it does sound like a sticking point to me as well that he keeps asking for living people but it makes sense, if he happens to get a group of 3 town members that he gets a big group clear of all players that are still alive). Xam then plays around a bit but gets off the rollercoaster with Absolut taking his place.For bonus points, you actually ask off of the rollercoaster for Absolut
here but Launch softly declines you again
here. Now we have both you and Xam being scummy again, biting off more than you can chew with whatever Launch was plotting and then trying to escape and I'm not sure who is worse, you asking a few times to get off and continually getting denied or Xam successfully ducking out. Moving on though:
Coppa jumps on
here. And that's really all that happens with Coppa. He gets on of his own accord and if we are assuming that everyone can read Launch's exact motive this is actually a point in favor of a town Coppa as opposed to the scum Coppa that I've been seeing.
Next up was Absolut, swapping spots with Xam
here. Kind of the same deal as Coppa, went on of his own accord. Pretty town move as it all still stayed within Launch's perimeters. The only way this is scummy is if Xam and Absolut are both scum together and Xam has the more important PR which is a possibility but I don't think I'd chase Absolut on that point alone without knowing Xam's alignment.
Finally is Ty4on
here. As Launch probably pondered the whole night phase, it's odd that he just rushed into the party pretty much headlong. He gives a decent excuse that matches up with his activity, he was busy (as he even says in that post) and someone did invite him to vote onto it. It's a move that I could see from a fully in communication scum team if they had figured out Launch's exact power and they wanted to get someone in to spoil the milk and maybe Ty4on just figured it out on his own and charged in on balls and gambits alone. Middling all around.
So if I had to order the whole list from scummy to least scummy just based on how they got on/off the list and how they acted while on the lsit it would go Kark, Xam, Ty4on, Absolut, Coppa.
And you know what, writing this has talked me out of this slump. Voting for Kark worries me because he is such a strong player, mislynching someone run of the mill still stings a bit because they are town and are padding our numbers but losing a big mover over an incorrect guess always hurts things but there is so much writing on the wall. Creating WIFOM with the bat computer, tying votes at the end of day 1, arguing the overrider for a huge portion of day 2, starting to cast doubt on the probable cop check of TL21xx on Topo from N1, and now stirring the pot to make sure people distrust Launch as much as possible. I don't know if Launch is telling the truth and this theory obviously stakes itself that Launch is telling the truth (or is at least town even if this whole role was just the most intense gambit ever) but you seem to have stake in assuming that he is lying even going so far to set up that one or the other of Topo or Launch lying when it's not the case at all that they can;t both be telling the truth (or both lying but Topo appears to be town from my view).
So have my token vote Kark, it doesn;t seem to count for anything but I think you are the issue and I've been dancing around it for days too worried that I'd be mislynching one of the other people putting in a lot of content.
VOTE: Karkador
