You both have bad associatives with Galron, but DV's are more nuanced imo, which reads as more thought out, which I view as scummier.

Also DV has the weird overreaction to catching a vote or two (I bookmarked it earlier but lost track, it was like in the 1700s) where I kinda don't see town reacting in that way.

Could you both be town? Yes, but I don't think it's super likely.

I feel strongly there's one and only one scum between the two of you.

Virtually nonexistent chance you're scum together.

Moderate chance you're both town.

Good chance one of you is scum.

I don't really, as I said at the start of the day, but it would be remiss if I didn't point out you were one of his strongest defenders yesterday. Even though I do think you were defending in good faith.

Yeah there's no basis for that

Youre contradicting yourself
"Wisdom is known to be headstrong even if he's wrong"
"I can't see how Wisdom can be so confident"
I wanted to provocative and see how Wisdom would respond, but I completely disagree with this post from Wisdom and I think it's a misrepresentation. The core argument I'm making is that the confidence in Galron-town was such a weird take that I don't think even headstrong-Wisdom would conceivably have that confidence in Galron-town, and to me it makes more sense as being Wisdom-scum emulating his town meta.
Okay.

@Wisdom,

Mod said I was vanillized N1, but I opened the casket during the day.
Also I got the same casket today and picked right and the effect is pretty pro town, though this time I picked the casket during the night phase. Or at least pretty wifomy.

The summary of GL’s post is that he provided me a list of strong townreads who he has also discussed with Titus. He thinks Wisdom is town for having a similar view of the game to him. Has slight concern about OTH but thinks probably town. Thinks Pav is scum. Probably thinks I’m town but I’m sure that he’s not as certain of that as he is of his strong townreads.

Like I seriously am getting the impression you're taking everything I post in the worst possible light. I literally said I do not think you're the scummier of the two, and DV is far from a sure thing at this point.
I think this is the most concerning post. The original one was fine I think, but this has an appeasement vibe to it.

Okay, you guys are ready to run me up. Cool cool cool.

Might as well claim.

I'm Oberon's Flower. I make people fall in love. 'Twas I who loverized Galron and Icebox. I had a good scumread on Galron and I was nullish at best on Icebox after d1 (townier since then!). Several of you expressed that loverizing seemed like a scum ability; maybe it usually is (this is my first game with the mechanic), but this time it isn't. I had an ability and didn't want to die with it in my pocket. I do not know why they subsequently fell out of love, but something must have happened to nullify it because my ability was still "spent".

I can loverize again if the opportunity arises for me to repurchase the ability, but it hasn't come up yet, so I'm a vanilla townie right now. As such I do make sense as an elimination target, as until something unforeseen happens, I can't add any intel or affect the game in any meaningful way. I can think of one pair I'm curious to loverize if given the chance, but who knows if that'll happen or if you will let me live that long.

Anyway, watch the vote counts. There is opportunism afoot.

And I wrote you guys a damn sonnet, too.

Probably done posting for tonight!

Partly I was busy IRL and the conversation had shifted by the time I was able to plug in again.

Also I didn't want to bring the heat off Galron when his lim felt pretty righteous.
