The scum lynch on Day 1 being bad and then the battle mage kill heavily favor scumreading Pete. I still personslly feel Pete is town but the objective nature must put him in the DTL pile.

I need to look at the three names and see who most likely was scum in both a town and scum PickAxe world.

It's swingy, and we have no known PRs. We also have no method of determining if Shelley passed or failed.

Regardless of Nos alignment, you're still scummy to me. I don't know whether this is mislynch bravado or bussing but you have provided no articulable reason for a NOS fos.

What is your read on Plus joy? He was the major turning point against the PickAxe wagon. Your ignorance of him makes no sense.

i have provided a reason for a Nos scumread. and i think gut is a perfectly valid reason. Plus is kinda obvscum, but given the gladiate, scum probably put plus there on purpose to bait us. Theres really not much content from plus other than always being on the leading wagon and then the hammer. I dont understand a town motivation for any of it, but I dont understand a scum motivation either. So im withholding judgement on plus for now. DGB seemed townie to me yesterday, which leaves Nos by PoE as well as on individual scumminess.

TS: Plus is obvscum, so he can't be scum. So let's vote the vocal townie out inside because of gut.

Me: Gut is not a valid reason. Town should vote out obvious scum. There's no evidence to support scum picking the gladiate.

I'm guessing shelly picked out the gladiate, and the results of her trial is determined by how many scum she picked. 0 - horrible consequences for town and she loses, 1 - better, she doesn't lose and we got a chance, 2+ she wins on the spot and we get great odds.

Something like that.

Sure scum could have picked it too but that feels a lot less elegant of a game mechanic. Cause then there'd be obviously 2 town 1 scum gladiated and it just seems like it'd be messy to me.

That theory seems to be supported by how we weren't told shelly's trial results (pass/fail). Just this gladiate thing instead.

In post 626, Vecna wrote:Like, based on the last few posts from shelly, if she did get a good result and she got to decide who would be fighting eachother, I bet pickaxe Pete wouldve been in there.
A good result could vary by number of scums in the gladiate without Shelley having control.
Hm yeah that's also true, maybe the task was unrelated and it just decided the amount of scum inside the gladiate.

Either way, I don't think scum had a hand in it

Tbh both nos and Goofball are looking like cool wagons

VOTE: dripping

- she's apparently quite vocal as scum, but has been laying pretty low

- had a VERY opportunistic vote on shelly, while expression a townread on her earlier

- townreaded BM pretty hard, which might explain him as the nightkill imo

So weird.

-

Nosferatu's ISO is really empty. Not familiar enough with him to know if that's indicative of anything. I don't hate it like I do plusJOY's. Perhaps that is telling in of itself but I'd have to do a lot of talking with Plus first in order to prefer Nos over him.

DPG doesn't take a lot of stances does she? These are pretty vague on what she's thinking:

Something is VERY OFF

I can't put my finger on what, exactly.

On one hand I am reading Fidget as town, but am puzzled by the extreme deference and attention paid to mollifying Titus, as if it was more important to convince Titus than the rest of the town.

On the other hand, Titus' phony gambit was just that, a phony gambit. But is it alignment-indicative? If so, which alignment?

Titus, who do you feel about having a pet in the game? Is this grovelling from scum or town?

There's also the vote itself where she sheeps Titus' VCA on shelly. I obviously had a very different reaction to the VCA but whatever.

I'm not sure if I prefer DPG or Plus more
