this is true. but it still requires assuming you're town, which i'm still finding it hard to believe.

i think the likeliest scumteams are:

S&M/N_M
S&M/dave
dave/N_M

but the last of those three seems weird now with N_M pushing dave. need to relook into when BB's bussing votes took place, but from memory, they came at times that made little sense to bus, and when there were a lot of other viable mis-elims.

like real talk, you know yesterday was bus-day

I wasn't on the bus.

hence I'm green not red - if i know SS is flipping red I'd be positioned way better than sitting on my thumbs while he gets rocketed off to mars.

But if you’re town and were leaning towards voting me, scum didn’t have to bus?

Except wagons were even until right before deadline. There was no indication that it was going to be s_s.

still my comment on eliming you was snarky because your slot has been nothing but scummy by all participants. no elim is still best today.

SS got like 5 votes and I'm green and I didn't vote him so obv scum did bus.

I dunno why they bussed but I know they did it.

like something about the game state resolution yesterday is just weird af

we had potentially 3 people in redirector-POE, but mafia chose to remove Peta from that POE making it a SS-Infinity 1v1.

except the 1v1 didnt happen, it felt like a stalled game state with some wild ass theories getting thrown around.

then right before the deadline the game state cracks and a flood of votes come in on SS and he flips red.

That's not a typical 7p lylo 1v1 gladiate resolution.

You realize that people's stances were made known even though votes weren't layed down right? It was quite possible that infinity ended up the elim or even a no elim occurred. It's wild you think scum bussed in elo when they didn't have to...

Granted, if they did, and somehow you are town, it's probably dave.

Yeah I was thinking about this a bit.

I thought for a sec it was because s_s was town and we were being setup, and scum was waiting for one of us to vote the other.

But what I really think happened was that scum thought s_s could win a 1v1 against me. They waited for someone to vote me, while positioning themselves to put votes on me first if necessary. Since dave didn’t out who he was leaning towards, they thought s_s could still win up until he got elimmed.

I haven’t 100% made up my mind but I think that makes the most sense.

I also think dave makes less sense to be scum from a mechanical POV than n_m or S&M—s_s presumably knew that hoopla would TR the neighborizer claim based on the stats, and it’s a low-risk option to go for low in the draft. The no kill makes some sense (especially when compared to a kill on mena) to get lilith out of pressure, and gives s_s an excuse to TR lilith.

counter-argument: could be scum 1-shot commuter which isn't the worst move if scum are leaving the vigs with town.

1-shot watcher for scum in slot#4 does seem really unlikely, though.

I guess that’s a bit more likely yeah. But that still seems quite weak and you don’t get wine benefits in that case.

Just elim Dave, look at the abrupt hammer, he wanted to be on the wagon fearing I would come in and lolhammer
Also, what is Not_Mafia doing? This is some of the worst play I’ve ever seen.
I will SEARCH for games with you and N_M to help you policy him.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.

thinking about this more, it may be optimal to elim today especially if S&M is one half of the team. and
especially
if N_M is the third.

the logic:

if we elim scum!S&M, there's no JK shenangians tonight. and given we would be down to one scum, it would prevent N_M from neighbourising
and
killing in the same night as scum don't have informed. so, if N_M is scum, he can't kill at night, which gives us an extra mis-elim. if N_M is town, and a kill happens, it confirms N_M as town as long as he neighbourises someone. this prevents us from burning a mis-elim on him if he's town.

this all hinges on S&M being scum. if they are, i think there's no way we don't brute force a win, as we get to test N_M
and
another slot in case we're wrong.

whereas, if we go the no-elim route we only get to test one slot other than S&M.

It would be an exaggeration to say there are more holes than correct points in that.
Only a slight exaggeration.
