Trying to draw me in with vulgar wagons? How unappealing...I'm confirmed town because I would've hammered Dunnstral here as mafia.

Anyway, I'd prefer beeboy > Celeste > Cat Scratch Fever > Dunnstral, but Dunnstral > Celeste > Cat Scratch Fever > beeboy achieves the same thing.

As long as you all stick to the plan that is. Remember, the fear of invisible treachery becomes the greatest enemy of stability.

[T-Bone]

...ummm who said you were scum? So confused.

[beeboy]

Let's do this.

[Celeste]

This is fine as long as it's not Blair + one of the top left trio.

[Blair]

And to everyone townreading Maxwell: Do you believe my arguments are completely baseless? Everything Maxwell has done has been townie?

Please name at least one solid point I've made so I know people are at least reading my posts.

Survey Says: No, no one is reading my posts. At least that explains this Orwellian gamestate.

I'm the second highest poster in this thread but everyone bar Clover is refusing to engage me in good faith.

Dunnstral is prob town, Clover is obv town, scum team is in {Maxwell | GuiltyLion / T-Bone}. They'll push you to mislynch Dunnstral today and Beeboy tomorrow, then Clover Day 3.

But we're putting Dunnstral at L-1 because we're so sure that Beeboy/CSF are scum (Beeboy maaaybeee but CSF has barely posted so this is a weird reach everyone has arrived at unanimously for some reason) and Blair is spooky too because ~reasons~ like how she wanted to talk game theory in the third total post of RVS and then responded to direct questions about that post, because apparently town!Blair ignores those questions to focus on scumhunting instead - which Maxwell claims she wasn't doing while *simultaneously* claiming that she had too many townreads based on sparse reasoning (almost as if there were *gasp* sparsely any posts yet), a problem Maxwell only avoided by deliberately lurking out of RVS so he could push terribad cases like these without being a complete hypocrite.

You see that mess of a run on sentence? You see what you made me do? You probably didn't read it anyway.

Look, I get it. I understand why some of you are sheeping this - some of you believe it and some of you are scum. But there are three townies minimum supporting this dumpster fire. I'm the only one pushing an actual case on anyone (yes, it's there, please go read my posts), while multiple townies coalesce around the same reads based on ostensibly ~nothing~ and I get repeatedly shaded for tunneling on obvscum.

I never want to become the sort of player who blames losses on bad towns, clearly I could have communicated something better or scum are just far more persuasive in this game than I have been; if it's the latter then well played and I respect it. I should have read the room better or something, I don't know. I'm going to take a step back here before I become a bad faith townie.

UNVOTE: Maxwell

I'll vote wherever you want me to for anyone outside my PoE who can summarize my Maxwell case accurately. Read my damn posts and I'll sheep you. The bar really is that low.

[maxwell]

This is fine as long as it's not Blair + one of the top left trio.

I think it's pretty unlikely, her insistence on going after me when I outed a plan that keeps her and clover alive would be really foolish if they were partnered unless she's just straight-up not thinking about the gamestate at all.

[T-Bone]

I mean, you can say that about any potential lynch though. Lynching Maxwell is fine unless Dunstal and CSF are scum, lynching beeboy is fine unless Blair and GuiltyLion are scum. etc. etc. etc. (and I'm using rough examples to illustrate my point).

At a certain point those of us are town have to commit to our reads and except that if we're townreading scum, then yeah, that's a bad thing that probably means we lose. Right, if Clover is scum, then I'm going to lose at this stage since they are my strongest town read.

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Is it —[] time?

[Celeste]

I say I don't fear death...but my ability to lie is unrivaled, and I take pride in that. It's not just other people—I can even fool my own emotions. The conscious deceives the unconscious.

...

It's okay.

Well then, take care, everyone. Perhaps we'll meet again, in another life.

Nooo et tu Blair?

A dunnstral lynch will almost certainly be a loss if we’re both town. Can I interest you in a

VOTE: beeboy vote?

Pedit: welp nvm

[beeboy]

Actually CSF if I am a wolf and you and Dunnstral are town.

What happens is we enter 5 man lylo with me alive.
But lynching me creates a line where town live.

So if I am a wolf my scum buddy _has_ to shoot me.

As your B tier townie I won’t let you down miss!

[GuiltyLion]

what do you all think of Blair's 330 that feels like scum desperation or nah? I'm prob tunneled but I think her insistence on maxwell being scum doesn't feel genuine

[GuiltyLion]

also I don't want beeboy tomorrow, I want CSF or Blair

[maxwell]

what do you all think of Blair's 330 that feels like scum desperation or nah? I'm prob tunneled but I think her insistence on maxwell being scum doesn't feel genuine

I'm with you there (& the desperation over the dunnstral corner vote doesn't seem plausible when it's a manuever I avoided advocating for most of the day), but of course I'm very biased in my assessment at this point.

[maxwell]

Yeah that basically confirms CSF-scum. There's no way a T-Bone/Clover team makes that shot as they'd be throwing away a win and given that CSF lynch was the generally agreed upon plan I don't think a Blair + T-Bone/Clover team does that, either. Only issue is if we lynch blair today that guarantees a forced lynch of the IC day 3 and that's dumb as hell. I think the play is to vote out GuiltyLion to force the Blair NK and I'd probably say with 90% confidence that just wins the game.

I'm annoyed because it seems near certain at this point that all 4 corner slots are town and there's just really not a great play if your scumreads are on the side squares. It's just so hard to forego the safe play that gives you control of the board. I'll have to ponder on it more.

[Celeste]

Hmhmhm. The mafia have no tears, do they? No blood in their veins, no calcium in their bones. At least you have your audacity... which I admire, Cats.

Cats > Celeste > GuiltyLion > Blair is one option.
Alternatively, mafia could also force a Cats > GuiltyLion > Celeste > maxwell.

Or GuiltyLion > Blair > Cats > Celeste but this one doesn't give them the chance to manipulate it.

Interesting...very interesting.

[Celeste]

There are never 2 mafia in [T-Bone, Maxwell, Clover] as maxwell has mentioned.
Unless mafia are fools, and really, there is no shame in being wrong. Nobody expects much from you, anyway. We have all accepted the fact that you rarely understand what is going on around you. So if you have made a mistake, it is okay to come clean.
