Wagons are good to move the game forward. Might I suggest a better player to wagon? Flippy is a lurker and when he is here he posts cash gifs, but other than that pressure on him doesn’t do much.

cooing sweet nothings about bandwagons is music to my ears, but don't think you're getting in the town bloc that easily.

there are no better wagons on D1 than a lurker/memelord wagon. a ritual sacrifice as old as time to show the mafia gods we mean business.

There's this weird dance forming within Hoopla-gobbledygook-AGar.
notscience and Espeonage are still reconsidering their invites.

My gut has been building in the past few years, and I do have feelings, hence:

If his claim were real, the probability is on my side. The chance that both hit the same target, assuming random, is less than 10%. Town would not seriously claim a role that they are not (a premise I hold.. reasonable considering d1 on page 1). If he is town fake claiming a night1 vig he deserves to get lynched period because what benifit does town get from the gambit? There is no reason for town to fake claim vig, but if people like you are will to not lynch him given evidence against his claim, then scum have a lot to gain. If we take your logic, then scum can just claim that d1 every game and coast with one "conf town" player. If you claim night1 vig, and there is one kill, you ought to lynch the person who claimed barring a cc. Tl;dr, lynch people who claim something without a cc when the night actions don't bare out what they claim. Pretty fucking reasonable.


I'll leave you all with this before I go to sleep, "what town motivation does espe have for 'meme claiming' vig?"

Okay, remember that my response to agar is assuming his claim is a real claim, which I took it to be. He has renounced the claim before the night phase, so what I say does NOT apply.

Would love an explanation here, unless it's just a joke
I mean it's part joking because it's Page 3 so there's not tons to go off of but I thought it was shady to go "Hey they're night planning, that's scummy" after a meme claim.

So it's like 50/50 on how serious I am.
I kinda like these posts from Agar here, even if the reasoning is quite weak, it looks like he's geniuenly beliving in what he's saying

What is scummy about thinking nightplanning is scummy?
In post 88, notscience wrote:I actually took Espeonages post half serious is what that meant.

I was just interested in heading off that pattern bc I’m trying to see more of the reason behind the questions. And then you said it’s not how you play so I’ve pretty much resigned to wait for your takes to come in after people start playing
You want to head off the pattern of me asking questions? I will push things that I think are scummy in real time. It isn't like I just sit there and ask questions. :P But as far as having all my thoughts or a fully transparent thought process, you'll never get that from me.

Generally, I do not like to insert my opinion on things. During sociological research, researchers try not to interfere with their subjects, so that their data is not tainted by outside influence. That's what I do more or less.

Just to add to this (as I worry it may slip by), this very much feels like CD is saying "If there's only one kill Espe must be scum" and trying to control day two... based on what has been well discussed as a meme fake claim at this stage. Agar is right to call it out.

I do realize that I am playing a social deduction game called mafia. I guess I am not explaining myself fully. I will vote people I think are scummy. I may give some reasoning for voting said person. That reasoning/explanation most likely will not be all my thoughts about said person.
Seems like a hell of a way to convince the rest of us of your lynch preferences.
Seems like a hell of a way to prod-dodge the entire game and write it off as "I said I was doing this at the start of the game".

I'm not saying both of you are scum, but I feel like your early posting fits the bill of circling the most intense focus while still appearing to take part in it. :]
So far it's just a hunch, but I think Espeonage isn't far off from that same spot.

AFAIK - Hoopla is a good enough scumplayer, and most of all, a teamplayer.
We got caught as scum together for being too tightly knit of a group in an open game (I think it was? Too lazy to fact-check now), and they gracefully accepted defeat and fought to the end.
That's all the meta that comes to mind.

So for my clarification- talking about espe but not voting him?

Also- in your experience with hoopla how did the buddying start? Because I saw her reach out to me and was immediately suspicious for much of what I said in thread- it’s weird for someone to reach out to me like that when it’s my preferred play style. But her answer of similar styles being easy to read made a lot of sense as well as- if hoopla is scum- why worry about buddying me? Surely it sounds like more of you have more experience with her, it’d be much more beneficial to her to work on one of you than cater her play to me (if she would even know how to do it bc we haven’t played in forever)

I think town!Hoopla could/would try building a towncore like that.
I don't think that's alignment indicative as a move.
If anything, you'd both be more likely to flip scum if one of you does now! :lol:
