Alright this is an important post so please listen up y'all and reread this if I am lynched.
I believe now that the team is Map Wolf and PvtUrist.
Faustiv has raised a lot of good points about why Map Wolfs fence sitting on d2 is suspicious. In re-evaluating Titus I've noticed a lot of the same things: Map Wolf is always diplomatic and acting as if he is considering multiple options, but he never really commits to things or initiates action until it is clear how other players are thinking. This is hallmark newbie scum behavior and what was pinging me a lot in the early game. Reread my interactions with him on D1.
It's also noteworthy how he is positioning himself to vote me now instead of PvtUrist. He's trying to argue that there must be a scum in GL/Titus - why? Why does faustiv guessing that Titus is a PR mean that I am suddenly more likely to be scum? Map Wolf has never actually stated a real reason he has scumreading me and his progression on my slot does not follow a believable town trajectory.
PvtUrist came into the game in a tough spot, his slot under scrutiny as his predecessor barely engaged at any point. His actions were to:
- defend and buddy Titus (to the point of absurdity - trust me there is no universe where PvtUrist believes that hammer was pro-town)
- throw shade on my slot
- distance from Map Wolf (also notice how when PvtUrist shows up and claims to scumread Map Wolf, Map Wolf is immediately there to argue back - and his position is "well I'm not scum but GL might be", without considering that PvtUrist himself might be scum).
PvtUrist wants to lynch me today while leaving himself room to bus his partner tomorrow if necessary. The problem this team is going to have is that they should have no more viable mislynches if I am lynched today.
Faustiv is obvious town. Scum would never save Titus in the way he did nor openly speculate about her being the other PR. If faustiv were scum and thought Titus was a PR, he'd either hammer or push her in order to get the claim. confirming her as PR (and even sacrificing himself to get rid of her) would be a huge win for scum. He's never scum this game. He'd also likely just turn to lynch me here instead of pushing onto another slot. All of his game solves are honest and genuine. He should never be lynched this game.
GBJ is also clearly town at this point. Read my last explanation of my townread on him. It's hard for me to explain and I do not have as much time now as I'd like, but that slot is not flipping scum either.
Rise I believe is town due to lack of any clear partner possibilities and the fact that she pushed on me
before
anyone else did. She's wrong but she's town.
If you three can agree to never lynch eachother then scum has no path to winning this game. Titus (assuming she is town) would be the most mislynchable slot remaining, but if she is the other PR then scum will be forced to kill her or risk getting caught.
My guess is their plan to win is to try to get Rise or GBJ to vote eachother in LYLO. As my dying wish if I am hammered today, I want the two of you to
promise
that you won't lynch each other over map wolf or PvtUrist. If I can have that guarantee from both of you I'll accept eating rope today and apologies from Rise and Titus in the post game.
