Ding ding dingThis is a scum list?
We have two mislynches left. I doubt there are more than 2 town in that list.Can you explain your reasoning for these?
For one thing "on the ropes" here refers to all of 2 votes after some questionable attacks on bronx/ouro for pre-game play.And since I'm on the ropes and self-preservation and killing scum is on my to-do list!
UNVOTE
Vote: zeemumu
no real guess on Zee or Swamped (only point that out because current top 2 vote getters)
and that the two names are bold are the only ones we don't have town confirmation on. While it's possible that there aren't any scum on this list it isn't too likely. Remember that there was very little vote switching on day 2 so at the time this vote was made the momentum of the Kalor vote was unexpected and a scum voter wouldn't want to do a late switch unless necessary.Day 2 final vote tally: Zeemumu said:Ourobolus
CCS
Kawl_USC
Kalor
Penguin
Ourobolus
Bronx-Man
And seems more well reasoned and justified than Penguins vote (at least in my humble opinion)Vote: zeemumu
Logic is the weird post I quoted in 707. Still can't get over him seeing kalor as one of the highest contributors in town. Unless is thinking about his posting and scheming behind the scenes in scum chat. Idk.
Hope to posts a good deal more with my half day but work has been busy this morning...
Reducing the days events as mostly insignificant, and focusing on the Salva claim while ignoring Sorians post. It seems as of today he intends to downplay the credibility of Sorian by leveraging acorhs' thoughts, perhaps because the Sorian claim is very effective in giving scum little room to hide.Sorry for being MIA for most of the "day" but NYCC is mostly done and mostly rested.
And trying to catch up on the thread, there just seems to be a ton of finger-pointing in every direction.
And guess big story on this page is Salva's role claim that no one can actually support, correct?
You're free to think the argument is bullshit but it's a little unfair to say I've focused entirely on early game, reducing that vote list to two suspects in the first place is based on intuitions formed from subsequent events. I wouldn't say clearly no other evidence but from skimming Penguins posts quite a lot are non-commital so it's a little harder to draw firm conclusions from them.Low effort against Penguin, doesn't include anything past day 2 bar a post he was at Comicon which is nothing
There is plenty more data out there but clearly no other evidence against Penguin so Wizard is going for early game play.
And I find bringing up Kawl's post shading Zeemumu is weird as well. Simply a Townie making a slight mistake and Kawl (who is scum) knowing both alignments tried to play it off as more than it was. Kalor actually left a bigger impression on me in Day 1 than his vote count would dictate. His absence on Day 2 was the thing that got him killed.

As for the Kawl stuff, I wanted to look at both votes and explain which one read more scummy to me. I don't mind Kawl as a lynch target today even with a weak town read on him as I believe at least one of him/penguin will be scum and the fact that we were swerved away from kawl yesterday could be something.

What is your case against Salva? And how can anyone be sure you didn't self target?
You actually need to explain things rather than just putting two random things together
I did look at other lynches but wasn't able to see much in them, could be missing something so I'll re-review when I have time. I found this one interesting because of the number of confirmed town on it, only 2 unknowns in a list of 6 seemed like good odds and a strong starting point.There have been plenty of mislynches. Why take that particular lynch?
Because you are hedging. Kawl is scum and there is the mood to lynch him so you want to throw a bit of shade while targeting a town player. So if he gets flipped your next move is to tell us how Kawl and Penguin are scum together.
You're right in one sense, but see what I meant above about how the results of your flip could inform the progression of the game. Compare that to an arbitrary pairing of the unknowns, chances are one of them is scum but if we get it wrong and lynch the town option it might not give us enough actionable info to lunch correctly tomorrow. I think we should be looking for connections that can setup a strong one-two lynch.So this statement is essentially pointless at this stage of the game.

Your prediction on the second point is wrong, if kawl flipped scum I would ease off on Penguin as I don't see them as aligned. On the other hand if he's town I'd be more confident in my penguin read so I think either way it could prove helpful.

Well The Wizard is on the top of my scum-read list like I said because someone specifically pointed out by acohrs and still don't like his reasoning for voting for him.
I feel like Sorian is a neutral party.
Dr. Worm fascinates me though like I see them partaking, but they don't really go big in either direction. My guess would be slight scum, but not a real priority for me.
I am really curious about Fat just because he's been on the hot seat, but has survived most of the game. But don't know if it's just because an easy target for folks to always deflect to.
I honestly don't know where the Kawl stuff comes from, I read him as town.
I think Nomadic Sparks is slight scum.
But eh not gonna beat around the bush
Vote: The Wizard
Annoying
Faddy
Salva

Penguin

The Wizard
Verelios

Not annoying
Here's what I've got right now. Unfortunately, determining who's scummy versus just woolheaded and bullish requires more time and effort and rereading of the thread. It'd be hypocritical of me to throw out some bullshit gut reads that is just me tunneling before putting in that effort.
There's a difference between putting in low effort and not having the time to go trawl through the previous days and build a substantial case. I lack the time since yesterday afternoon to play proactively, I mainly have time to keep up with the thread and play reactively which can be done five minutes here or five minutes there (versus the full hour or two needed to go back do an ISO etc). If I'm unable to find that time due to other commitments this phase I promise you'll have a reads list before the day is over.So you are putting in a low effort but came out swinging today against low effort town.
Or you just don't want to tie yourself down with actual reads for some reason
I think honing in on a group of votes where all 3 people involved are town is not the strongest starting point. Walk me all the way through your logic and why you feel there has to have been a scum voter on zeemumu that day? Where are all the votes or no votes spread?
I tried to go back to this carefully and see if there was a flow of logic that made sense to me but really think I was just looking for something that would help justify my gut read. I wax excited when I realized how many of the voters where confirmed town and figured scum would want to attach themselves to a town train and hide in plain sight but see that even reducing the odds to 50/50 isn't really helpful at this point considering the other info we have.
Still think it was a helpful discussion to have but I'll concede that the logic here was wonky and came mostly from gut intuition which isn't good enough at this stage of the game.
UNVOTE
Do you think their willingness to walk back their argument when pressed leans town or scum faddy?All that work for nothing...

From the arguments made this game so far I believe you are going to be sorely disappointed.I personally think it leans scum. To be so far into the game and make a push on a player with such little evidence that you roll over with minor push back has a desperation feel to me. I hope everyone on Town has much stronger reads to make.
So you believe sorian is lying and we have no investigative role for town?
And that sorian is a 3rd party who generally have a survivor condition tied to their win con, but decided to make a claim that was easily counter claimable where in he would be lynched if not yesterday then today?
Am I following what you are saying there correctly?
Alright how does penguins response to being pushed back strike you faddy?I personally think it leans scum. To be so far into the game and make a push on a player with such little evidence that you roll over with minor push back has a desperation feel to me. I hope everyone on Town has much stronger reads to make.
I believe the tool is down but can we get a vote count?
Also just noticed wizard and penguin just playing an omgus game lol.
"Oh my god you suck!"Omgus game?
Alright how does penguins response to being pushed back strike you faddy?
"Oh my god you suck!"
Voting someone after/because they voted you.
With 15 minutes to go I'll go with the acorhs between the two leaders. Don't have much of a read on him but I see kawl as slight town and am worried scum may be using his absent status to push him with less opposition. Also provided sorians story checks out everyone on this train is town so far.
VOTE: acohrs
Looking at day 2 end votes on Zee:
I think Kawl and Penguin are the most interesting options right now. Everyone else on the list save for Ouro is confirmed town. Kawl reads fairly town to me so Penguin makes the most sense right now. If we pin some amount of town fuckery for why Kalor took off so fast then it's pretty likely there's at least one scum here with no incentive to switch votes.
VOTE: Penguin
This is a good post, generally what everyone was thinking when looking to reply so it's safe. Even still, I just can't help but feel like there's something wrong with Kawl. For example, this rankled me:So you believe sorian is lying and we have no investigative role for town?
And that sorian is a 3rd party who generally have a survivor condition tied to their win con, but decided to make a claim that was easily counter claimable where in he would be lynched if not yesterday then today?

It's a question that doesn't lean one way or the other on the subject. I'm assuming Kawl has an opinion since he asked, but I don't know since he didn't write anything about it.Do you think their willingness to walk back their argument when pressed leans town or scum faddy?
Faddy predictably replies to the question with scum, as their conversation thread with Wizard made obvious.I personally think it leans scum. To be so far into the game and make a push on a player with such little evidence that you roll over with minor push back has a desperation feel to me. I hope everyone on Town has much stronger reads to make.
Kawl answers the most non-inflammatory part of Faddy's response leaving me to wonder, why bother? It can't be that I'm crazy and a normal reply wouldn't have a follow up on Wizard being scum/not scum or personal thoughts instead of what's essentially fluff.From the arguments made this game so far I believe you are going to be sorely disappointed.
Low effort against Penguin, doesn't include anything past day 2 bar a post he was at Comicon which is nothing

ya'll can go ahead and lynch if you like
For those hunting for scum, look for those who vote for me

Most of a new page and the only thing of interest I felt like quoting was this:
You call it low effort and say nothing past day 2 was included. If I recall right though, Penguin hasn't really done anything past day 2. Day 4 was nothing with excuses at the end of the dya for his absence and I don't remember anything from day 3.
--------
Past that Faddy still bothers me. Nomadic did nothing to defend himself and is just going to counter with snark which is his usual game anyway judging from love boat so that doesnt help. Penguin with bad theories is the same as when he was town in batman which also doesn't help for reads.
Kawl is walking a fine line. He has some moments, like the pure talk at the begining of this day phase and that Penguin questioning on this page but in actual votes and play, I'm not getting strong town vibes at all.
Yes, those 4 always end up having votes on people being lynched. And while some of them being confirmed town maybe they were just tunneling. I do see a lot of people thinking wizard as scum...so I'm not alone thereAre you saying CCS, Fat, Wizard, and Faddy are your top suspects? Two of those are confirmed town.
Can you explain your reasoning for these?
Also, as others have pointed out, it doesn't make sense why scum would vote block Nomadic of all people, if it is a scum ability. Theoretically, one would think they'd go after a confirmed town, especially Sorian. Something isn't adding up.
I also disagree with Faddy a bit on Wizard's backtrack. At this point, I feel really iffy about a number of people, and really most cases feel pretty weak, because we don't really have much to go on.
Finally, I don't think I understand why Penguin seems so obsessed with acohrs' reads. Just because acohrs thought someone was scum doesn't mean that they are.
How is he town?Well he is town so I'm not concerned.
How do my responses to my questions strike you?
How is he town?
You responses are arbitrary and guided completely by the alignments you've already committed to believing in.
That strikes me as way scummier than either of their responses. Scum generally pick some people to push as scum and stick with it and are also confident in pushing their reads (cause obviously those are right). It becomes hard to naturally reassess new information in a vacuum because they've already hard committed to playing with people as a certain alignment, some of which they know to be wrong.
This is a good post, generally what everyone was thinking when looking to reply so it's safe. Even still, I just can't help but feel like there's something wrong with Kawl. For example, this rankled me:
It's a question that doesn't lean one way or the other on the subject. I'm assuming Kawl has an opinion since he asked, but I don't know since he didn't write anything about it.
Faddy predictably replies to the question with scum, as their conversation thread with Wizard made obvious.
Kawl answers the most non-inflammatory part of Faddy's response leaving me to wonder, why bother? It can't be that I'm crazy and a normal reply wouldn't have a follow up on Wizard being scum/not scum or personal thoughts instead of what's essentially fluff.
Again, this is just something that's been bothering me when reading this page. Partly because it's easy to seem involved and participating by asking questions and rubbing between two parties, and partly because it reminds me of Pokemon Mafia where scum was very much both sides.
Lol also take a hike with this. At the very least I kept people from lynching fat on day 3 which was the far inferior target which helped give us an additinal conftown today.I have been trying to press Kawl for a while to give us his stance on the game. All his evasiveness does is make him scummier.
And if he is town and we lose he can go stick the lazy town narrative up his arse and instead realise that he is useless if all he wants to do is take in reads ad give nothing back. He has pushed nothing in this game other than some protection of Zeusy and a lynch on an absent Swamped.
