He meant NIGHTKILLS

Why are you so difficult
Yeah, I quite obviously meant they would wind up dead over nights 2 and 3.

And BBMolla is wrong.
And Titus is wrong.
And...who else is on your team? Because I'm sure they're wrong.

You are wagoning me with tunneled vision and it is going to be the thing that undoes this whole game! My flip isn't going to do shit for anyone! It's just one mkre cog in scum's eventual victory.

Since you won’t die and you’re scum gonna go with a hard yeah scum will win.
The thing is I probably will die if you keep this up and I am town unfortunately so my point stands.

This is empty hyperbole.

Town loses if we don’t lynch scum on day two with a save already.

This is empty rhetoric RC. You know better.

when mafia devolves into this trashy tunnely 1v1y pushing people for dishonest reasons because you think they'll get away if you only push them on honest ones clusterfuck that this game became
there's really no point because the entire portion of mafia that i enjoy and find meaningful (scumhunting) falls to the wayside and it's just a question of might makes right and who happened to be scum

i feel for math if ari is scum. i understand that ari scum is a reasonable point of view to have. i believe that mathblade's reactivity to reads on ari is town.
but really i've honestly stopped caring who scum and town is, i just want someone who will treat me like what i say matters in terms of determining if i'm town or scum.

and i can't bring myself to vote against Ari who has spent the entire game calling me town when i think i've been obvtown when no one else saw it.

i think that rce refusing to engage on his read with me is scummy both on an in game and on a philosophical level and my vote will remain there.

if he's town who thinks that he can't win the battle then fine. i think that battle is the point of mafia. if you're not willing to have it because you think you can't win it, why play.

Already in bed so I'm going to make this brief and follow it up tomorrow. Our team had 1 and only 1 scum role PM which has now flipped. Given NSGs IRL circumstances she has had barely any time to play TM at all. Nothing I said about her inactivity was untrue or exaggerated in the slightest. I also want to make it clear that there is a reason that NSG read and meaningfully gave reads in this game before she did anything else in TM. We legitimately assumed this slot was going to be locktown nk bait from day 1 due to claim and more general reasons so we wanted to get this game on the right track early. TW deathtunneling us made that impossible and while she tried for part of it she at some point just got tired of the toxicity and didn't want to read even when she was around. We're still town in this game and both or is are capable of really great things read wise but none of that matters unless people can trust us.

This town can't afford to mislynch us or to ignore us.

Also keep in mind that after NSG told me that the gamestate was getting really nasty and I should just not vote Ducky regardless of if he's scum or not, Dick kept using us voting Plum/Tris/Ari as a scumtell saying see! see! he's trying to do this then lynch me it doesn't make sense he's not voting me because he's scum.

If you think Cancel Food's read on me is the main reason you scumread me, you can care about that if? The only way to refute them talking themselves up is to see my flip. If you think that maybe when even Northsidegal eventually changes her mind and says yeah lynch TW we don't really have any other choice ig that maybe I was in a no-win situation as town.

Not that I didn't believe Duck was scum, but even NSG not thinking that he was confirmed scum and mostly just being like why the f is this happening conceded that it was correct eventually.

I haven't exactly been advertising her name outside of weaponizing it because I just can't play with her in real time like I'd like to but just filling in some.behind the scenes. Although I think I did mention that it was team reasons when I unvoted Duck at least.
