No no. I'm saying Math gave them a shot at you. Scum have been trying to lim me since D1/early D2 and for some stupid reason decided to go all in on me if I'm right about Nero and Frog.

I think after your wagon fell apart, scum switched back to me because I am more loud and annoying than Malcom was. I'm an easier push for them. (Or was, I think the yeet flip backs up what I'm saying, so idk if they can actually lim me now)

on vp's case:

- doesn't feel like pumping up math it's just fluff responding to his mean girls gif
- disagree that scum hadn't picked up on the soft. would actually be shocked if they hadn't noticed early. i wasn't sure on it partly bc i thought yeet and galron were both scummy. maf know their alignments and so would notice much more easily.
- i can see your read of it ig but eh i don't really agree with the narrative. I think it's relying too much on the assumption that maf didn't notice until way later than i would expect them to. frog could def be scum pretending he didn't notice. nero, maybe, but i don't think he behaved that scummy here. dragons looked genuine to me.
- who do you think would be maf if the team did notice the soft early? (hint: every possible team includes titus)

or maybe lets not let someone take the wheel that's pushed nothing but town this game. We are voting off the Malcolm wagon.

technically Gal could still be a mafia traitor but even if he was that still means he's not a priority since he dies when we off team scum.

If he was an x-shot killing role then he would have gotten "can kill" or "has already killed" Traitors aren't part of the mafia team and can't carry out the kill.

yes, im disagreeing with his theory. i don't think scum were positioned the way he think they were bc i think his assumption that they didn't notice the soft is wrong

I'm inclined to feel Galron might have been right on scum. Namely those that are right on scum are the ones getting pushed. If VP and April agreed on a scumread, then they are likely scum. I can't see us bumbling this bad without aggressive scum.

The problem is the belief that Math has been agency captured puts me in direct odds with him and I don't want that to become a clusterfuck.

Ok, on the DV thing. I don't know my meam girls meme. I'll take your word for it.

On scum picking up on the tell, I can only go by what I see in the thread. You are making the assumption that scum definitely saw Yeet's obstinance as a tell. Maybe, but I'm not sold on it because of the way the galron wagon continued to push forward for a good bit after that. If they saw it and believed it, then that whole push is town? I'm highly skeptical of that.

If they did notice early, we are probably looking at April and Titus in the maf, plus IDK who.

Alright, I read most of your case. However, I don't expect all three of Nero/Frogster/Dragons to be scum. All three scum going in on an agency capture move is highly unlikely. Second, Nero is easily distractable and stubborn. He's not MathBlade levels of stubborn but still stubborn. A denial of a soft could come as much as pride rather than anything else. I don't see all three scum pushing a soft clear as they'd be boned if a flash wagon appeared. I'd look at people who pushed Galron exclusively as it was a sign they couldn't make content.

I do feel you cased DV the best in your post.

I don't like tene saying protect Math or else with an invest soft in the game.

Then there's scorpious and eyes.

The problem is I'm not left with an aggressive scum unless I am wrong somewhere.

I feel like Nero's play is much shadier than Cape. He was kind of pushing all the wagons as possibilities D2.

Look at him today, he is trying to shade people on the Malcom wagon, even though he spent good chunks of yesterday promoting it. It's the same exact thing he did with Wu, except somehow even mote naked this time. He doesn't have a coherent suspect or team theory all game.

Pedit - I think cape should answer your Q for sure.

It is a conspiracy. I do not believe in the scum motivation you have assigned to Nero and Dragons is fair, and I do not even townread either of them strongly.

I do not know who is scum. I find it strange that you seem to think I have few options for who could be scum apart from your theory. I am most tempted to vote for Titus right now, but not feeling ready to commit to anything.

I actually am quite capable of continuing to suspect you. You did work but that work looks bunk to me. Nice try, though.
