I think Cheeky was trying to do anything but vote NSG yesterday. In a game like white flag which heavily disincentivizes bussing, I am looking at those types of plays the most
Are you serious? How about you look at people who were able to hammer FF or BB and didn't then clear out from there. This is disappointing from you.
Is this a burden of proficiency argument on me, Cheeky? I find that odd because we have only played one game together.

In post 1684, Dunnstral wrote:I think saying he'll vote NSG tomorrow after lynching FF today is scummy - and I truly believe he would have bussed nsg on day 2, after he got his FF mislynch.

Today, he's backing off from FF because he doesn't want to look bad, but that doesn't really match up with what he was saying yesterday.
This would make sense especially if he is letting louder players drive the FF wagon.

Because I'd think you weren't dumb enough to think I could be scum. Therefore scum.

How does me thinking you're scum make me dumb? I'm always going to reevaluate the people who put up resistance to scum lynches.

I think that's accurate.

We have ~8 hours left.
VOTE: nsg
These tell a pretty clear story

I didn't think I could get her, then switched back when it was pointed put she had more votes than I realized
And this makes you town... how?

If you were planning to bus NSG so that you could point this out later then this makes perfect sense as scumceph. What reason is there to point this out

that's exactly what i'm saying though

trying to lynch someone (cheeky) right now who is very clearly absolutely not getting lynched doesn't seem like a strong play for scum

Exactly and this after that ridiculous attack on you. I'm as confused as you are, but yeah, I think overthinking at this point is bad. Let's just lynch Esp?

Hey Espe, let's leave aside the lurker lynch argument for a moment because I don't think that's going anywhere.

Why did you think NSG was more likely town than other slots here? What was your logic/reasoning behind town reading her? Or at least town reading her more than the other lurker slots?

Espeonage, the only thing I really have to say is that it doesn't matter whether or not you believe in meta as a scum hunting tool. The fact of the matter is there was valid reason to believe NSG's scum equity was higher than other lurkers for the other players in the game. And even if you personally don't subscribe to using meta in mafia it
didn't seem like you were even recognizing the concerns people
had, instead discrediting them as just-another-lurker-lynch.
I was wilfully ignoring them.

In post 669, northsidegal wrote:dann, what exactly do you think my plan is as scum here? you know that i actually CAN play scum, right? i've endgamed as scum before in white flag (i'm CultOfAthena). i have the capability to put words to paper as scum, especially if it were team mafia, and especially with RC on my team. (personally i would say that the reason i say less as scum in general is more due to lack of interest rather than lack of ability, but that's neither here nor there)

this game is just as important to my team as the others, and that's exactly why we're going with this strategy. i would never be doing this if i wasn't confident in my ability to show that i'm town when the time comes.

voting me is a mistake and won't make me play differently. with the time left in the day and my focus on other games if i switched now then i likely wouldn't get an optimal lynch but i would still paint a target on my back.

Ok so I'm in a weird spot because my town reads at the moment include Cheeky and Dong.

That said I am also wresting with, if scum is leading the town at the moment which is 'feels' like, then the narrative of yesterday likely would have been different. I'm gonna try and wrap my head around that conundrum and come back with some theories because all the momentum stuff points to scum in the mid charisma tier if that makes sense.
