I mean I didn't even realize BM was that close so I'm glad I made the time today but I don't mind working back over the game to make sure we have it on lock.

Yeah I'm through page 20 and I'm officially never voting Dunn, not even just a "I guess he's town" anymore

I think Cakez enthuiasm for Titus/Dunn blood on D1 points to them being just town.

I can see MB being scum maybe but he's like been pretty solid.

I can see Notty being scum instead of BM.

Rereading BM's ISO and Cakez interactions with BM I could see maybe BM town? I'd have to re-read again.

I haven't even re-read Bork's ISO yet - have been swamped - will make time for it later it's not very long anyways.

So this is just weird. I don’t like it and maintain my objection and if I am miselimmed while I am at work artifacts always go to townreads. Assume LLD is scum until/unless she proves a mason buddy as she is breaking the cardinal rules of how she operates. Her play today is absolute garbage and she should be ashamed.
I can't even remember a Bork post this game. He needs to get his butt in here.
Vig Cakez imho.

His stance around me and my posts reads as buddying yet paints me as having a meltdown.

People being nice to me doesn’t happen from town.

Right now I think just burning all 3 of BM/notsci/Titus wins it, I also want to check on you but like, again almost certainly town and just need to doublecheck

It's legitimately possible I come away from this with everyone but BM

I really wish bork didn't excel at striking the correct tenor in interactions with his partners because the 600s where he's talking to Math are probably the best posting of bork's all game

Page 40 update, Feeling really good about Pooky town, feel a little bit less good on Math w/ later bork and mastina interactions but tracking the progressions of Math's reads is absolute insanity. Not quite to the Titus wagon yet but the dueling Dunn/MB wagons was a bizarre episode in hindsight.

T->S
=====
Spiffeh
Dunn
Tammy
Pooky

MathBlade
Titus

notsci

BM

Just assuming bork is scum at this point, again going to be super fucking annoyed if he's town phoning it in

Might call it a night soon, have more time tomorrow but this has been a good start.

No it's not, it's NAI. I'd make that post to anyone regardless of my alignment. In fact it's probably a good example of something that I'd often call "belongs in Mafia Discussion" because I could transplant it there almost word for word without breaking site rules.

It's just a post I felt like making :P
Great post from Grey actually.

My guess is BM/Titus/(Prism/Mastina/Bork)/??? Maybe quiet

Tammy Cakez and Bell and Spiffeh are obvious town.
this is why my life is hard lmao, math isn't scum for this post or anything but tracking this math's reads is a fucking nightmare

Scum you doesn’t give it away + a combination of LLD outed mason. You’d give it to a buddy.

So if you’re scum you’re scum with Bork

Which is kinda stupid on so many fronts it solves itself
I still find this flip on my flavor extremely fucking bizarre in that the Trident had more scum utility than town, and have always thought it was done to take the opposite side of mastina, but at this point Math is such an enigma

I am stopping for the night but through the 1100s I am so fucking confused about how MathBlade is going to eventually wind up voting Cakez, townreading him, scumreading mastina, bashing mastina for even trying to go Cakez

Why is MathBlade characterizing my unvote on Titus as "the wagon was already dead" or w/e when I unvote at E-2, Math is hardshoving it still, and it gets to E-1 a few pages later while I fight with Grey trying to get people not to hammer

I need to sleep and stop reading but god I wish I used the PT cop on this slot even if I know Spiffeh was objectively a better choice

I'm unsure how to interpret Cakez's initial vote on Titus, it comes right after I suggest I'm open to the slot, but later he's really trying to force it through. Arguably is trying to salvage the best of a scumflip but idk. Titus's posts Day 1 are generally pretty bad imo but choosing to push me/Cakez, then dropping me and just focusing on Cakez of her own volition, is town to me.

I've been very spammy tonight so my apologies, but with the entire positioning around Titus I'm back at townleaning MathBlade, what a mess of a game though

Someone’s gotta be brave enough to do the first vote. That’s where I wanna go.

Flash Battle Mage?
Uhhhhhh

Weren't you calling Titus scum before her defeatist shit?

Since then she's posted "playing is way too hard and the game is all stacked against the town, woe is us, there's no point in townies even trying." And now you're willing to unvote her?

Holy fuck.

You go right back into the scum pile if Titus is
scum
because this is fucking awful. In point of fact if Titus is scum I'd love to see your ass vigged tonight because damn it'd feel good to get another red flip.

And it's a large, you better believe there's some goddamn vigs.
I am waffling. I am willing to unvote her.. Maybe I am a sap for it because she’s my sister. Quite honestly I would love being vigged. Seeing LLD eat crow and then realize I helped build a massive town block she can use to carry this game would be awesome. She’d actually have to communicate with people and that would be worth it. All I do is what I think is best. If I die I die, I helped build what will likely have us win. And I am okay if I die after that and whoever vigged me would be an idiot.
I'm reading on my phone atm so quoting is limited but Grey trying to encourage a Titus hammer is troubling even if consistent with reads.

I need to fuckin sleep but I'm an obsessive

Could do either
revotes titus w/ mastina actually facing pressure and votes

I'm going to ignore the MB part of this for now but the fact Cakez is on this immediately on the vote opening up is super good. It basically eliminates any chance in my mind that the Dunn wagon was some dying desperado distance move
yeah i agree, Dunn looked like the designated mis-elim on Day 1. so Dunn-town seems fairly likely.

1600s from MathBlade are some of the worst posting I have ever seen in a game, the determination to call mastina scum and keep shoving how everyone needs to vote Titus is incredible. Swap to Cakez in the end is super bad and does not even remotely feel legitimate.
