This is discrediting and misrepping. He's only pointing out the bad things Gunny had done to make him look bad without mentioning everything else.


1. Needlessly and out of nowhere fight with Potack for 20 pages.
How is it needless?

2. You and Andrew buddy up in the most obvious fashion ever, which at least helps in the sense that only masons or mafia could be so assured of the other (or the most gullible townie ever).
Give me examples of the buddying.

3. Claim how stupid everyone who suspects you must be (attempting to stifle discussion, a scum trait).
How is that a scum tell?



Now, I don't buy into the whole andrew "scumslip" wholeheartedly.
What did you think of it?
His followup post however is illogical and inconsistent.
How?
Your post in his defense is useless and doesn't help at all.
How?
And, most importantly, why isn't a little pressure good? He's not at L-1 or anything drastic yet, it's simply pressing for more information.
Why does him being at L-1 matter?
Discussion is important to the town.
Oh my gog this is so horribly fake towny jargen again. Seriously, this is horrible.


If you and andrew are masons, then you really ought to contribute more to discussion beyond this silly argument with Potack
Why?
- see what Soben and VisceraEyes are doing perhaps
What specifically have they been doing that made you use them as an example?
, and post reads/put pressure on people. At this point, you're tunnelling Potack and it's not adding anything new to the equation for the town to go off of.
How is it not doing anything new? I'm basically tunneling too, so why aren't you attacking me?

McStab wrote:
drmyshotgun wrote:McStab didn't initially see your so-called "scumslip" Potack.
He was just joining the party to "pressure" Andrew.
Then, when you asked him what he saw, in your utter eagerness to check if someone shares the same opinion as you have, only then, did McStab make up some bullshit to justify his vote.



I saw the scumslip - if you'd bothered to read the post instead of putting in some kneejerk OMGUS defense post on behalf of andrew, you would've noticed that I wrote this
This reads like super horrible discrediting. I like all the adjectives you put in to make it sound better, at least when I do it I justify it too.
:

"I hesitate to think any scum could make such an obvious slip".
This does not mean you knew which slip I was talking about, or if I was even talking about an actual slip. You could have just been blindly agreeing with me to get on my good side.


That's prior to Potack writing it.

The only reason I'm not confirmed 100% on you and andrew being scum is because I doubt any scumteam could be so blatantly obviously working together - either way, you've played this terribly.
So why do you think they're too scummy to be scum, yet you still have your vote on andrew? Also I notice the discrediting at the very end too. It's a nice touch.


Through your surefire association with andrew you've either A) Revealed you and andrew as some of the most obvious scum ever or B) Given two masons identities to the scum over a dumb fight with Potack.
Why was the fight dumb?

McStab wrote:You and andrew have outed yourselves one way or another long before I brought it to attention.
Give the earliest example you can.
As for my lack of contribution, it was related to not having the time to properly devote some solid content to the game. You see, instead of confusing town with fluff posts like you or andrew, I prefer to offer real content in my posts.
What is this content you speak of? All I see is you bullshitting and parroting. Also hey, more discrediting. Which are the fluff posts that you are talking about?


"Completely outing"? Let's be frank, half the game was referencing you and andrew as possible masons over the last few pages and were asking for clarity.
Give quotes for each person who said something like that. One per person is fine.
If you are masons, then the scum would have to be blind and retarded to not see that claim. If you aren't masons, you're not helping your wincondition because you either outed yourself as scum or confused the hell out of everyone as a VT.
I really don't like all this Mason speculation. What are your reads on them individually? If they are scum who is their last member and why?


I told Potack what I saw to confirm that I was aware of what the pressure vote was, and that I wasn't sheeping.
You still could have bulshitted a random answer like Gunny said.
Please, stop trying to draw ridiculous conclusions and connections where there is nothing, you're only embarassing yourself.
Discrediting. How are his conclusions ridiculous?


If anything, I would say the andrew vote has been successful - your insane kneejerk defense of him reeks of scum to me.
Why?

McStab wrote:I have suspects - you and andrew. I pressure vote andrew and drmyshotgun comes out swinging on his behalf without addressing andrew's reaction. That vote got two super scummy reactions from you both.
Explain how they're scummy.


As for others, I have suspected Venmar/Rainbowdash's slot, but I haven't had the time to get around to posting a bigger analysis. For now, he's on my list of people I view as scummy, but he certainly isn't topping it with these reactions.
Make a case on Venmar's slot. Gogogo.


I have town reads on VisceraEyes, Soben and RedPanda. I do have other opinions on other players obviously, but I'll need some more time (e.g. later today) to post a more comprehensive list.
Post it ASAP.

McStab wrote:
andrew94 wrote:ok lynch me, if im town, lynch you.
deal?

oh wait, that wont work...



How is that helpful to the town at all?
How is it not helpful to the town?


Andrew's reactions have been nothing but scummy and poor logically.
How?
Drmyshotgun's posts have been consistent with him being partners with andrew, but that doesn't mean town at all.
Does it mean Gunny is town individually to andrew?
I will say this - I believe that if drmy or andrew flip scum, the other is almost (like 95%) certainly scum, or if one flips mason, the other is certainly mason.
We've already been over this. Now you're just repeating things.


I'm more satisfied now that you've claimed mason. Your connection was obvious to everyone, but only confusing town (scum would know that if you and andrew are partners, you aren't scum - town, on the other hand, wouldn't be able to discern mason or mafia till one of you flipped, and the vagueness was just muddying the waters).
Again, super horrible fake towny jargen. Please, stop that now.


With this claim, however, you're no longer a good choice for lynching today.
Unvote
So you are now finally getting your vote off him, after all this time waffling on whether or not you believe the claim? This reads to me like you knew you weren't going to be able to bullshit your way to a mislynch on andrew or Gunny, so you had to abandon the wagon.


If you're really mason, then tonight the scum will kill one of you, which confirms the other. If one of you don't die tonight, then you're most likely scum
Nope, try again.
, or the mafia let a mason survive
Why would they do this?
(helping the town out in the long run as I can't see you getting lynched if both other masons are alive). Either way, the town is in a stronger position.

Potack, I wasn't "sheeping" you. I placed a pressure vote to see what reaction it would elicit. It was a clear reaction and it cleared up the vagueness around the mason claim (which, as I said before, was only going to confuse those who can't discern between the two groups, as opposed to the scum, who would already know that two people working together aren't scum).
How did it clear up the vagueness? I was the one who got Gunny to claim Masons with andrew.


This OMGUS doesn't help though, drmyshotgun and andrew.
How is it OMGUS?
If you are masons, you're wasting your time being overdefensive and not scumhunting others.
What makes you think they're not scumhunting anyone else? Gunny had literally just attacked you and you even acknowledged it.
I won't be voting for either of you today because of what I said above, but I seriously disagree with what you consider productive scumhunting.
Why?
Tonight, I'll be making a more comprehensive post regarding who I consider scummy and townie and my rationale as to why.
Post it ASAP.

@Potack - It was vague in the sense that they were acting as though they were connected and suggesting it, but they hadn't came out and directly said what they were alluding at. This normally is something to be applauded, but it was ridiculous in the sense that they were stifling discussion and refusing to admit the possibility the other may be scum in their actions. This is the hallmark of an informed player, and was clear to everyone, but if we allowed it to go unchecked, scum could just as easily vaguely act as masons and use it to stifle discussion. It's unfortunate they had to come out as masons (if they are), but then they also shouldn't have been so blatantly obvious by not even paying lip service to the idea the other could've been scum.

It's not "horribly fake town jargen" - you misconstrued what I said. I didn't say we shouldn't lynch them and we shouldn't tie them together. What I meant when I said that was that none of the evidence was conclusive enough to warrant a lynch at this time, but it's suspect that two players are linked directly (which, given that they then are either masons or mafia, is relevant).

His constant battling with you up until this point after you accused him of scumminess (and drmy's assistance to him) substantiates my statement that anyone who accused him was considered autoscum in his head. Drmyscum's attack on me immediately after further cements this. This answers both of your questions.

I don't quite understand your "what makes you think this" question, Potack. I only mean to say in that statement that andrew's logic is terribly flawed and he is only correct if he is scum. He says that lynching himself, then him turning town, means we should lynch you. He then says that wouldn't work. The only part of that that could be impossible to work is him being town (not saying it's impossible he's town, I'm saying it's impossible to not lynch him and then you if we want to). It was blatant OMGUSuckery and not a real defense or real attack on you.

The mason claim itself doesn't make him scum, but they had made it abundantly clear they were connected and hadn't claimed yet. Everyone in the game was acknowledging they were connected. This means either scum or masons. If they are scum, no one else is sure whether they are masons or scum. If they are masons, town is still confused, but scum already knows. To suggest that anyone wasn't aware that andrew and drmyshotgun were connected before they came out and claimed is to suggest that everyone is profoundly stupid.

This mason claim means that we know have a confirmed innocent or scum the next day, or, if neither flips, we have some hard evidence to go off of on Day 2. I'm personally still not convinced they aren't scum, but they aren't the best lynch today regardless - tomorrow we'll have much more information based on who survives the night.

Keep in mind one of them was dying tonight anyway if they're really Masons - we all knew they were somewhat informed. Now we have the confirmed link out in the open and stand a better chance of making a scum lynch today (or tomorrow if both live). This situation didn't happen because I was "rolefishing"; it happened because they basically let the whole game know they were informed of each other's alignment.

I didn't ask directly because I feel as though a much more genuine and telling response would come out of reaction-fishing. The reaction has certainly been genuine, kneejerk, and emotional, and if one flips scum then there is no way the other one gets away, as they're clearly linked.

Another productive thing to come out of the mason claim is that you and drmy have apparently ended this ridiculous quarrel. We can focus on bigger fish to fry.

Did this make them scum?

So are you suggesting that scum would also claim Masons
separately
to Gunny and andrew just to confuse us?
It's unfortunate they had to come out as masons (if they are), but then they also shouldn't have been so blatantly obvious by not even paying lip service to the idea the other could've been scum.
Why is it bad they had to come out as Masons?

You literally just took what I said then and made it wordier. You're trying to justify something by adding more words to it to make it look different. "None of the evidence was conclusive enough to warrant a lynch at this time," is literally saying, not enough shit, so don't lynch them. "But it's suspect that two players are linked directly," basically means you've already tied them together.


His constant battling with you up until this point after you accused him of scumminess (and drmy's assistance to him) substantiates my statement that anyone who accused him was considered autoscum in his head.
What about everyone else who attacked him? Did he do the same thing to those people too?
Drmyscum's attack on me immediately after further cements this.
How?


I don't quite understand your "what makes you think this" question, Potack. I only mean to say in that statement that andrew's logic is terribly flawed and he is only correct if he is scum. He says that lynching himself, then him turning town, means we should lynch you. He then says that wouldn't work. The only part of that that could be impossible to work is him being town (not saying it's impossible he's town, I'm saying it's impossible to not lynch him and then you if we want to). It was blatant OMGUSuckery and not a real defense or real attack on you.
But if he says to lynch me if he flips town, wouldn't that mean he wants me dead? That would be a suicidal move as scum because I would have won that battle without a scratch on me, so he would have been lynched instantly. So I don't see why this makes you believe he is scum. Also hey, I notice the needless adjective in that last sentence for discrediting purposes. You're doing it again.


The mason claim itself doesn't make him scum, but they had made it abundantly clear they were connected and hadn't claimed yet. Everyone in the game was acknowledging they were connected. This means either scum or masons. If they are scum, no one else is sure whether they are masons or scum. If they are masons, town is still confused, but scum already knows. To suggest that anyone wasn't aware that andrew and drmyshotgun were connected before they came out and claimed is to suggest that everyone is profoundly stupid.
Why does a minimum of one person not being aware that they were connected suggest that
everyone
is stupid?


This mason claim means that we know have a confirmed innocent or scum the next day, or, if neither flips, we have some hard evidence to go off of on Day 2. I'm personally still not convinced they aren't scum, but they aren't the best lynch today regardless - tomorrow we'll have much more information based on who survives the night.
What will you think of their alignments if none of them die tonight?


Keep in mind one of them was dying tonight anyway if they're really Masons - we all knew they were somewhat informed.
Why do you think scum would definitely kill them tonight if they are Masons?
Now we have the confirmed link out in the open and stand a better chance of making a scum lynch today (or tomorrow if both live).
So now you think they're definitely town?
This situation didn't happen because I was "rolefishing"; it happened because they basically let the whole game know they were informed of each other's alignment.
Were they scummy for this?


I didn't ask directly because I feel as though a much more genuine and telling response would come out of reaction-fishing.
Why?
The reaction has certainly been genuine, kneejerk, and emotional, and if one flips scum then there is no way the other one gets away, as they're clearly linked.
Why does kneejerk and emotional make him scum? I would think town would be more emotional with their reads, and would really do anything to get their biggest scumreads lynched. I know I play like that.


Another productive thing to come out of the mason claim is that you and drmy have apparently ended this ridiculous quarrel. We can focus on bigger fish to fry.
We ended it before the claim, the claim only just made me believe andrew was town too.

Here are your answers:

First, your questions about my post 480 -

1. It was needless in that it essentially walled the game into looking at fluff posts and insults for 20 pages. Very little of substance was said and all it did was drawout a connection between andrew and drmyshotgun (which, given their present claim, is unlikely to be a positive thing).
2. See posts #168, #240, #248, #308, #97, #153, #363, #368, #370, #373 and every defense post for andrew following my vote.
3. Stifling discussion without giving good reasons is a sign of both being informed and not looking for scumtells. Discussion = good for the town. I don't know why I had to make this clear to you.
4. I thought it was interesting but circumstantial. I didn't think it was a slam dunk, but I felt by applying proper pressure I could get a better read for andrew. Unfortunately drmy intervened immediately thereafter and further cemented his connection with andrew, which led me to conclude that he had to claim for the benefit of the town.
5. See my above post as to why andrew's response was illogical.
6. His post in defense of andrew was, and I quote "Vote:McStab Retard :/" Please, show me the helpfulness in that post. Really gonna catch scum by calling people retarded and not providing reasoning to votes.
7. Again, please use your head a little before asking me these questions. If I put someone at L-1 it is far more impactful than just placing a pressure vote on him (the 4th, I believe).
8. Are you kidding me? I want you to find me a single person in Mafia theory who thinks discussion is bad for the town. If you think discussion is bad for town, please, go back to Newbie Games. It's not fake town jargon, it's cold hard facts.
9. I will lump this together with what should be 10. Soben and VisceraEyes have been posting logical cases for why people are acting scummy, applying pressure, and posting their views on everyone else in the game. They aren't tunnelling like you and, in particular, drmy and andrew, had been.
11. You contradicted yourself. You have been tunnelling you say, but then you ask "How is not anything new". If you have been tunnelling up to this point, and you are continuing to tunnel, it is nothing new. As to why I didn't attack you for it, I wasn't suspecting you as much as drmy for his reaction. I had already indicted both of you for tunnelling through the way you carried out your arguments, but I wasn't directing this specific pressure on you.

Your questions to me in post #483:

1. It's not discrediting for no reason. I write alot of words in the first place so that I don't have to go over points again. If people are too stupid, impatient or just can't read the first time, I don't feel as though I need to waste my time explaining it to them (see: what I currently am having to do).
2. Unless I'm the luckiest guesser in the history of mafiascum, in guessing correctly that it was a slip of tongue (keep in mind that his post consisted of one sentence), you're grasping at straws here.
3. I explain why directly underneath. It's terrible play for a logical reason - it hurts their wincon whether they are scum or town.
4. Because it started over fluff and devolved into a back and forth that produced more fluff.

Your questions to me in post #487:

1. See my dozens of posts as to the systemic buddying they exhibited. You don't need to post double questions to sound more like a townie.
2. The fluff posts is the fact that between the both of you you've both been concluded as either "slightly scum" or null on everyone's reads lists, and yet you have posted well over 100 posts between the two of you. Furthermore most of your attacks seem to be directed against each other (up until this point). My content is what I've been posting recently. If you're claiming that you can get scumtells off me, then I'm not posting fluff, as fluff is, by definition, useless.
3. Arugula, post #356, questions why drmy thinks andrew is 100% town, and why he's hiding his reasons. If Arugula is scum, he's noticed. Arugula, #358 - you just claimed mason or scum. Soben, #369 - Drmyshotgun is siding with Andrew. VisceraEyes, post #325 - Andrew seems to be setting up a mason claim with drmyshotgun. How much of this game have you actually read Potack?
4. The masons speculation comes from, let's see if you can figure it out, me looking to elicit a reaction earlier on andrew. Instead, I get a crazy response from drmyshotgun, showing a connection. Can you figure out what two players who are connected means? Either scum or mason. I speculated equally scum or mason. Individually my reads are evolving and changing, but it doesn't matter - their proven association means either scumteam or masonteam, and will be shown through one of their flips either tonight or tomorrow (tonight if mason likely, tomorrow if scum likely). As for who their last member is, no clue as of yet, I would want to see a flip before I devoted all my time to studying possible third connections. For day one, bagging two scum would be good enough.
5. Repeating the same dumb question/speculation twice doesn't make you more town.
6. See my original logic for my actions in those posts above. Then see his illogical reactions. Rinse, wash, repeat until it sinks in.
7. See my logic of why his kneejerk reaction means he is grouped with andrew. Then see how it means they are either scum or masons. Then see, how, up until the point I'd written that, he was refusing to claim mason.

In response to your questions of my post #489:
1. See previous answers to your redundant questions.
2. See question 3.
3. Will post tonight (see timeline I posted for the post).

In response to your questions of my post #495:
1. It isn't helpful to the town because it's an OMGUS response with no other information or evidence as to why he thinks you're scum. If it isn't helpful to the town it is useless fluff. If it is just OMGUS it is either scummy or useless fluff - neither is pro-town play.
2. See my response to the last ten times you asked me that.
3. I don't get the question. They are partners, but not necessarily town partners, is what I meant.
4. YOU'RE TELLING ME! Your hypocrisy is overwhelming through posting this.
5. Only horribly fake if you have some sort of problem with logical reasoning.
6. I unvote him the first post after I see his claim. I explain why in the next few sentences. Do you actually read posts or do you just put question marks everywhere on things that sound like they'd be town questions.
7. You contradict yourself. Nope, try again, means that they are still likely masons? But then you say why would the mafia leave masons alive. Seriously, I get some contradictions in your posts, but this is just ridiculous - they are side by side posts.
8. It cleared up the vagueness in that they finally made a testable (albeit only through death) claim that they are masons, when it was made clear to them (through my posts and the other people I cited above) that they were connected. They were only conclusively connected through drmy's reaction to my pressure vote.
9. First, Andrew OMGUS' you by claiming you are scum (see his illogical response). Second, drmy attacks me for attacking andrew (which is followed afterwards by claiming they are partners). These two attacks are based solely on you and I pressuring andrew. This is textbook OMGUS.
10. Note the first part of my sentence "Overdefensive". The two people they are "scumhunting" are you and I. Both of us had attacked them at the time. Hence, the only "scumhunting" was attacking those who pressured them. Read: OMGUS
11. BECAUSE OF WHAT I SAID ABOVE, ARE YOU ILLITERATE. WE WILL KNOW THEIR ALIGNMENT AFTER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW AT THE LATEST.
12. We get it, you're definitely town and taking a hard stance by asking the same question multiple times.


My apologies for some of the insults, but I really want to get across that more than half of your questions are contradictory, already explained, or the same question stated multiple times.

You're not really scumhunting, but it's evident to me that you're trying very hard to come across as a scumhunter.

Didn't you ever think that maybe I wanted you to elaborate? Maybe I wanted your side of the story, even if I already knew the answer? Sitting there and insulting me, discrediting me, and saying I'm not scumhunting just because I attacked you will not get you anywhere. I don't try hard to scumhunt as town, it just comes naturally to me.

This fake rage is hilarious. Couple that with the horrible OMGUS vote in which you fall victim to the same reasoning you attacked andrew and Gunny for ("anyone who attacks you is scum") and you have a nice, fresh, delicious scum, ready to eat.

Here's one I prepared earlier.

If you want, I can respond to everything you just said instead of generalising it like I did just then, but how do I know you're not just going to OMGUS me again? I'll probably be accused of trying too hard again. Remind me, how is that a scumtell?

Also if you actually do want me to respond to everything, it will still have to wait until tomorrow because I'm tired now.

No, I think that you posted those because you didn't think anyone would call you out on half of them. People have been largely dismissive to your lengthy and seemingly purposeless questioning throughout the game (which is why most people have dismissed your and drmy's bickering as useless). You didn't actually just respond to any accusations of not scumhunting, and I made it clear why I insulted/discredited you.

As for the vote, I'm sure it's easy to construe as OMGUS, but in reality, you've been tunnelling all game; it was just made clearer to me when you directed it towards me.

Don't act as though you were reaction-fishing from me and you used poor logic to do it; all that demonstrates is that I can recognize your poor logic for what it is. A scum attempting to push through a mislynch against someone you think is an easy target. You want to make it appear as though I "outed" the masons (which, at this point in time, I think is the safer assumption - if I'm wrong, it will be demonstrated tonight). I then demonstrated how I didn't "out the masons" given that everyone realized they were partners (either scum or mason) far before. Now you're claiming that a logically sound rebuttal of all your attacks on me somehow points to me being scum.

You're a flailing scum if I've ever seen one. I don't need the theatrical "confirm vote" to go along with it - cold, hard reason will do just as fine to show your true colours.

Trying too hard isn't a scumtell - making a case when there isn't one against a townie is. Now that you've been caught in the act, you can go ahead and try your whole "reaction-fishing" defense; let's see how it flies. As much as my response was a huge post, I implore everyone to seriously read what his questions were, and the seriousness of his accusations. This isn't a reaction fish, this was a full-fledged mislynch that he tried to push.

I'll post my reads more comprehensively later tonight on who could be your scum buddies.

Oh man, I only just skimmed those last two posts but wow you really like your buzzwords. I lost count of how many times I saw the phrase "reaction fishing."

The funny thing is, you sound so sure about me reaction fishing, yet you don't even realise that wasn't what I was doing. Then again, you're scum so you'd need to fake that anyway.
I clearly stated that all my questions are
because I want you to explain your reasons in your words so I don't have to assume everything.
If you think those are pointless questions they hey, maybe your opinions are pointless too?

"Making a case when there isn't one against a townie is." Firstly, this is absolute bullshit. You have done nothing to prove you're town, and you have just OMGUSed me for bullshit reasons. Secondly, why is making a case against a townie bad? I don't know whether or not you are town. I am 99% sure you are scum, but I can never be 100% sure unless we're buddies. Gunny is town too, so is andrew. Why am I not scum for making cases on them?

Also, I can sense this argument is going to be the Potack v Gunny argument all over again (after all, you're scum for basically the same reasons, except you've at least bothered to respond to my attacks), so I'll stop before it gets too out of hand and we wall up the place.

I do, however, want everyone else's views on this.

Shit like this is getting old Om, I know it was probably meant for a reaction gauger but it's idiotic.

The only thing you seem interested in is how legit this "masonclaim" thing is. Lol, one scum down. Post #474 is full of shit, you know that right?

Eh. I really really can see what angle you're coming from here; the fact that he hasn't commented on any of the replacements or his thoughts on them is off-putting, with that said I'm finding his push on you/andrew in the fashion he did it a town-tell. I'll explain; Scum would know that you/andrew are town and therefore would know that one of two situations is occurring 1) You're real masons who have claimed 2) You're VTs that are gambiting with the first situation being highly highly more likely. That means scum would know that you're unlynchable today and also know that you're going to treat players attacking you badly, this means they'd have no gain or reason to do it at all, it's more likely to come from town who are paranoid of the claim or the softage of it.

Also McStab, I have a lot of meta on Om, and this is his as town. Super confident in that.

This game is getting increasingly frustrating.

Potak, your playstyle of 'attack, attack, attack, tunnel, throw in questions' is actually one of the worst I've seen on the site; you state that 'defending yourself is a town-tell' he does exactly that yet you still continue to tunnel on him, the sheer level of confirmation bias you have in your tunnels are bad.

Shotgun, McStab is right, you haven't been contributing, so fucking start. Please.

PEdit; Both of TAM/Chrimi jumping on this to save Rainbow from getting lynched. +1 more for them being the scum-team.

I mean Chirmi has jumped on Andrew/Shotgun/McStab but hasn't stated a single mention or read of Venmar/Rainbow and neither of Rainbow/Venmar stated a read or anything about Chrimi in fact Rainbow has thrown him at the end of his 'want to lynch' pool with no reasoning attached to it whatsoever. The connection between those and TAM work perfectly as a scum-team plus individually they're all incredibly scummy.

The lynch should be in one of them 3 today, not McStab or Tech or any stupid other wagon.

Soben, I can promise you. I am not scum, and Chrimi and Rainbow Dash are not in any way partnered with me.

Just like I can assure you that Shotgun is not a Mason.

Fuck this, it's mason claim time imo.

We have 2 mason claims (shotgun, Andrew) when there should be 3 masons. Only the third mason knows if the first two are telling the truth, so I think the third mason shoud claim.

TAM seems to be soft-claiming third mason, but I'm tired of this shit. We need hard claims to sort out this mess. Anyone opposed?

I can't imagine the third is like, a recruiting mason or anything (too powerful imo, ymmv) so I can't think of a good reason why the third isn't confirming claims so we can get down to the business of lynching scums.

There is a small advantage to keeping them hidden (That being that we might not have a mason death N3) but I think the odds of it playing out that way are incredibly small given that scum can easily PoE the last mason using interaction based tells so it's probably worth them just outright claiming - with that said them claiming isn't needed to confirm shotgun/andrew since if they were scum all we'd need is 1 mason claim saying that they're not masons with them but the purpose of the 3rd mason claiming would solely be to make PoE/Scumhunting easier.

Hey if we have a mason death N1 and N2, killing the third mason's partners, then what is the advantage of not having a mason death N3? At that point the third mason is just another VT right? Unless there's some sort of recruiting mechanic?

I honestly don't see a downside at this point, and it would clear up a LOT of junk.

There's no recruiting mechanic but the mason would be able to confirm themselves as town via Andrew/Shotgun leaving behind a code.

With that overall I'd agree that it's worth them just claiming now.
