I think that tictac's partner probably realized a long time ago he was never surviving this day and played with that in mind

I've been scumreading tictac since like D5, and had tictac as at null even before that.

That said:

Given there's still a very high chance you're tictac's scumbuddy?

What you said here is probably true!

...And applicable to you.

When did
you
begin to push tictac, hmm, Ceph?

I'm pretty damn sure I've pushed tictac as scum for much much longer than you have this game.

Mastina realistically could only be scum with Norwee, which has been disproven by the current votes.

I feel like whoever is scum in Mastina/Ceph is already TMI’ing that the true battle will be between them tommorow.
Tictac is just the fall guy.

And i do trust Mastina more, but i’ll give the game a fair shake and not just instavote tommorow. But making my bias clear prematurely is better for analyzing nightkills.

It has always been destined to turn out that way, it seems.

Granted, it could be you, but I think you've probably already won if so. And also admitting this is making my post less dramatic.

Unfortunately either way scum were able to remove andante and curated an endgame where at least one town player who has a desperate urge to murder me (and likely two, I'd bet roden will be leaving us tonight) will be alive tomorrow. So it's not looking great.

ok. both scum in (ceph, norw, mastina)
scum-mastina voting there is probs cause me scumreading her is better than me focusing on (ceph,norw) so probs more vulnerable of those is her partner.
i wanna say town mastina waits a bit more before voting to see the effect of the 2 votes first.
@ mastina it's meaningless to say mold is malevolent if u can't give an example of
how
in practice it could be malevolent.

I did. I waited like 24 hours or so. I
did
debate not voting there; I
did
debate waiting longer. But ultimately, I felt that I had already waited long enough, and that there was nothing to be gained by waiting.

"If you eliminate the impossible, then whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth" springs to mind.

We know the mold must be malevolent because of the lack of 3p claim and game balance demanding it be so, since a benevolent 3p for balance purposes is considered basically town by any competent game designer.

What the malevolence does, frankly, doesn't matter. It's malevolent. That's all we need to know to know that the mold is bad.

And if you weren't desperately trying to misrep me, you'd find that I have in fact given examples of how the mold could be malevolent.

Mold could be an arsonist like action, able to kill everyone.
Mold could be a vanillaizer, disabling the role of the player infected.
Mold could be a method of proxy-killing, by directing the kill to be done by an infected individual.
Mold could be a roleblock of the players infected.
Mold could be a redirector, able to redirect the actions of the players infected.
Mold could serve as a rolecop, giving information.
Mold could cause everyone except mold to lose.

This is far from a complete list of what the mold
could
do.

But it doesn't matter what it could do.
What matters is the knowledge that
no matter what it does
, it by necessity MUST be malevolent.

It is malevolent from a flavor perspective.
It is malevolent because a benevolent 3p would have zero reason to not have claimed by now.
It is malevolent because game balance demands it, given only 4 groupscum and non-malevolent mold not accommodating for that.

So no matter what bad effect the mold has, it is a bad effect. Period. So your continued insistence on ignoring the dangers of the mold is in fact: scummy as fuck.

all of these translate to "no effect" in current situation.

3p power. i agree that balance makes this very unlikely.

so yea. after eliminating the impossible. "no yeet" is the best answer even if "mold is supes weak" is improbable.

Wait no if roden is scum, he has to be scum with tictac. or he's town.
OK i think that logic makes sense.
Like if roden were scum with any of [norwee, massy, ceph], tictac would be dead. so roden has to be scum with tictac or town.

ok ok what are the chances honestly. but also roden saying tictac red makes him green is a little fishy in hindsight. grrrr i hate my paranoia. anyways roden do not vote right now. no one vote. im uneasy about mastina votes but it wont hammer over because scum team is not roden/norwee. roden is only ever scum with tictac.
