If ur trying to say that CF investigated Dyr N1 im pretty sure ur wrong. I only looked briefly but CF was not very strong-willed on his scumread of dyr.
i already told u why nacho, and stfu u were just as into a nacho lynch as I was...
actually, I call bullshit, what the fuck myko, ur gonna blame the Nacho mislynch on me, when YOU supported that lynch.

↑CF Riot wrote:Brad what links Dyr to either of those pairings? How do you feel about the fact that both Emp and Nacho are voting Dyr? What exactly about Nacho's recent posts is different than his early posts, and in which game have you seen town-Nacho doing the same thing?
If Dyr gets hammered and flips town everyone should think long and hard about a Nacho + Brad team.
b/c after nacho's "trollie's obvtown" i didnt wanna be the nk...
Are you kidding me? He called everyone except Dry and Smash more or less obv. town, if you're not PR and you did this then you've made some bad choice here. I'm not going to go into WIFOM and say what if we really had a Doc and he protected you for this instead of CF? But really, you shouldn't have done that, it's only beneficial to scum. Your whole reaction after Nacho lynch looked bit too forced as well. Are you scum? I'm seriously having second thoughts about you.
a doctor would have a choice whether to protect me. The point of saying "doctors be on me tonight" was to introduce skepticism so the scum wouldnt know what the best NK was. Does it suck we lost a PR? yes. But, Scum had to decide if I was a PR, & if it was worth risking that the doctor might have protected me after that statement.
Ur town, so lets stop getting into arguments and move forward...waiting for dyr...
today we r lynching between smash and dyr, most likely...tomorrow we have the other one of them and myko. thats how i see this going.
I've given quick run to CF's ISO and the only 3 people he never pushed for or did mind voting on D2 are Em-p_d, me and Myko. So, I would rather look at you then Myko since he's town for me by Xeg proxy if things came down to it.
I might be bit frustrated about losing CF but the 'forced reaction' point was certainly not invalid.
↑TheTrollie wrote:wait wait wait...explain this to me?
who did CF investigate (or who are the possibilities) and what were his reads on them?
In his D2 ISO the only people he didn't mind voting were Nacho, KK, Smash and Dry
People he had town reads on or he minded voting are Em and Me.
By PoE that leaves you and Myko. He had no real read on your slot which was given in thread and Xeg's slot was P1 VT claim. Think, who would he COP, KK or Xeg? So yeah, if it came down to it, you're likely scum then Myko.
Good enough?
Om, the reason your reasoning doesnt make sense is that you are not able to parse out which slots CF had a result on and which were just his generic reads.
I think we can all agree that he didn't receive a guilty N1 because, as far as i could tell, he had no VERY strong scum reads.
I also dont believe he would have totally ignored the person he targeted.
According to Om, that means he probably got an inno read N1 on either OM or EMP.
so at least one of {OM/EMP} is town. As far as I can tell that is all we get from the CF flip. Anyone else?
I agree to that but you're missing what I'm actually saying, the very fact that you couldn't be one of his possible Cop targets (Me, Em or Xeg) means you're likely scum over all three of them by PoE if one of the Dry and Smash flipped town.

Break the ice and... delay the actual game from beginning. Question 1 is nice for getting to know people, but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other threads on site if you want to meet people and find out why they play. Question 2 is... useless, obviously. 3 is also useless. Of course everyone trusts their own reads instead of their own unless someone else is convincing or not. None of these help with scumhunting, all of these add useless things to my thread. Please don't do random questions ever again pretty pretty please. These were less anti-town than they usually are, but that doesn't mean they are good
↑Xegarus wrote:I'll say this now, i'm a vanilla town.
Whether i'm lying or not is up to you.
But if something doesn't add up, then SOMEONE did lie.
Mmmm... don't do this. If you are lying as town, then your PR claim won't be believed down the road, which is a very, very bad thing, since you would probably be forced to claim when a majority of the town finds you scummy anyways. If you are telling the truth as town, then you're basically saying "hey guys, I make a perfectly good mislynch! Don't kill me!" if they paranoid of you being a PR, they will rolecop you. They will not kill you. If you are mafia, this just brings the spotlight to you.
↑Xegarus wrote:If i gain nothing, then it doesn't really matter whether i do it or not.
Whats to loose?
If you gain nothing, you probably don't want to do it. You can never really gauge consequences until they are hitting you in the face in most scenarios.
↑Xegarus wrote:I understand how random questions can be a stupid thing and basically force people to post for the sake of posting. But is that really so bad early on in the game? (thats a serious question)
Yes it is. The opening of games is extremely important, and RQS makes them a lot more muddled, a lot less advantageous for town. If you get the game started early and you don't give scum time to get comfortable, then things get interesting. For example, I normally would call Doctor scum for avoiding things and posting crap (I still probably will), but for now, I don't really know whether he is newbie who doesn't know where to start and so goes with answering random questions, or whether he is scum coasting.
↑kitiekatt wrote:I see the vote for Doc cause he answered the random Q's and posting crap, but I'm wondering why. A lot of us answered those random q's (which I think is what you're referencing as posting crap), was there other crap he posted or something other than the answering of the random questions that makes him more scummy? Cause if it's just for answering those questions that could be a lot of people.
It wasn't the answering questions that set me off, it was more that he did absolutely nothing else with it. The fact that he didn't respond to the page one VT claim tells me that he hasn't read, but if he hasn't read, then how did he know to answer those RQS questions? More likely than not, he was looking for something to post, found the random questions, answered them, and stopped reading. That tells me he's just posting to get by, which makes him likelier scum than not.
↑Xegarus wrote:If you lynch say on D1, you have a chance of getting scum, which is great but you also have a chance getting town. Now N1, a town will always be killed. So by lynching eveyday, you increase the chance of losing 2 town compared to only loosing 1.
Now i know that eliminating scum is how you win the game for town. But can't that be said as keeping as many townies alive?
If you lynch on Day 2, you have a chance of getting scum, which is great but you also have a chance of getting town. Now N2, a town will always be killed. So, by lynching everyday, you increase the chance of losing 2 town compared to only loosing 1. So, it's optimal never to lynch because then we never lose 2 town!
...but that's not how it works. We have three chances to hit scum before we lose. No lynching D1 basically says that fuck it, we're obviously going to win this game so we need a handicap, let's do this with only two chances to hit scum instead. In fact, everytime we no lynch when there are an odd number of players alive, we're essentially throwing away one of our chances for absolutely no reason. So yeah, we want to lynch pretty much every day. Exception would be if there are 6 players alive and 2 scum left OR 4 players alive and 1 scum left and there isn't a confirmed town around. Then you might want to no lynch so you would have the minimum amount of suspects, but only then.
↑Xegarus wrote:So what you're saying that it's a bad move if i am town or scum. Hence just a bad move altogether?
Precisely.
↑Xegarus wrote:Why?
Am i really to close to see exactly whats so town about them?
Dyr
is being aggressive, targetting something that he regards to be scummy and locking on tight. While he does that, he's also looking around, criticizing people, searching for the other scum.
I find that pretty town.
Em+p is more of a tonal read, but the conscious creating of bandwagons to get people closer to a lynch is pretty cool, pretty cool.
↑Smashbard wrote:I would like elaboration as to why theres a wagon on the doctor and why empdear is town. I see dry and xegarus as town. Don't know about nacho. He wan this chummy in our last game. *Wasnt
Really? Pretty sure I buddied the hell out of camn last game until I thought she was scum.
Now, in this ONE post, nacho VOTES em+p_dear who he had as a town read not so long before this vote, AND claims that he is fine with dyr votes, another one of his town reads. the em+p_dear 180 might be an even stronger case but I haven't looked at that yet. My guess is Nacho was trying to spin his em+p townread into a lynch candidate, but when that didn't take steam and he saw the dyr wagon coming, he started laying out the groundwork for him to be able to jump onto it once it was time.
, but they don't work as a team. Myko, Om, and CF are all pretty strong townreads.

↑Smashbard wrote:If you're so convinced that I've been scum since Post #1 RQS, why isn't your vote on me? For someone so convinced you sure are struggling to find the gumption to vote me.

Seems like you're not willing to take the leap on my wagon if it's not already backed by popular opinion first. You wouldn't need that if you weren't worried about drawing suspicion to yourself.
Soo any suspicions on anyone but me? Or is this a classic case of tunneling 101?
Ping.
Myko has been talking about different suspects, has been voting different suspects. Him not having the balls to vote you is an odd point, and it seems like you're trying to play a "vote me, I dare you" game which isn't a game townies play.
↑em+p_dear wrote:You were so sure that kittie was scum and made a good case against her and then all of the sudden, she's not so suspicious anymore.
Mostly due to her leaving post. I got her to take a position, got her to give reads, and she ended up going after a target that really wasn't that popular at all, which was not a reaction i expected if she felt pressured at all. i wanted to see an additional post to see how she would handle cf's treatment of her vote, but no luck there.
↑em+p_dear wrote:Is this just because of the data the wagon gives or is there another reason?
I've been a bit aggressive with your wagons because I won't be able to read you worth shit if you don't do something, and getting that wagon on you is the quickest way to get there.[/spoiler]
↑em+p_dear wrote:As for Majiffy (that's Xeg's replacement, right?) I began to see him as innocent when other people began accusing me of scum. As smash pointed out, I was passive about it and instead of flat out asking people why they suspected me, I went back and reread my old posts and saw a lot of the same things Xeg wrote in his posts. I said some things that were stupid/suspicious, and from an objective point of view, I seemed wishy-washy and easily persuaded/discouraged by others. Initially, these were the very reasons I suspected Xeg, but in comparison, I found that I did them all as well. The more people suspected me, the more I reread my posts and the less scum/more clueless noob I began to see in him.
I like this reasoning a lot.
here, nacho starts agreeing with emp who he just said, EARLIER IN THIS POST, that he thought was scum, another 180. +scum for nacho

All I need is for someone not named Smashbard to ask the exact same questions I am asking, since so long as he feels I'm scum he's going to refuse to answer any of them.
mykonian is a more thoughtful player than you think he is
We're not getting anywhere having everyone split within three wagons. Obviously my reasons for suspecting Emp Dear are not convincing enough to everyone else, so yes, I'm compromising with two of my town reads rather than the Dyrnify Wagon because nobody can give me a straight answer as to why Dyrnify would hammer as scum on Day 1.
because he didn't see your intent to hammer
because there weren't any scum on the wagon and he was getting antsy
because he suspected doctor of being a power role and didn't want to give him time to actually claim
I thought emp handled my pressure really well. Interestingly enough, the Xegar read that I didn't even mean to ask for in the first place is what's giving me the strongest townread on the slot; it makes a lot of sense that emp would find him town after she was called out for doing certain things and saw Xegar doing those same things. Dyr, on the other hand, has really fallen off since Day 1, which I find pretty fucking suspicious. I thought that if he was scum, he had a pretty good day 1, but today he's not really pushing anyone and only voting emp when it's based on his survival. Also found smash's vote on me pretty interesting and would like for him to confirm that he is voting me using Om's and CF's logic.
he forgot to vote dyr in #399 after giving us an awe inspiring performance about why dyr should be lynched, so he corrects for the mistake in #400. He backtracks on his EMP read out of nowhere in this same post, after forgetting to indicate why he all of the sudden likes EMP in #399.
tl;dr
Nacho = scum
btw, i will switch my vote back to Nacho in a heartbeat, as soon as one other player switches to nacho I will switch too, i had to change over to smash because I was worried about the dyr mislynch
Makes an overly convoluted case against Nacho to make it seem like he's scumhunting Nacho. Mentioning once again discouragement of any attempts at Nacho "laying the ground work" for a Dyrnify wagon, and then finishing off his multi-quote wall with yet another intent to compromise on his lynch target so long as he has other players support FIRST. Which is an extremely scummy thing to do WITHOUT the mountain of evidence that exposes him as Dyrnify's scum partner.
Icing on the cake is TheTrollie ONCE AGAIN stating that he only switched to me because he's worried about a Dyrnify "mislynch".
His entire motivation going into this game after his initial read through has been "Save dyrnify from any and all suspicions. And call everyone who thinks he's scum, scummy to induce fear through aggressive play."
Busted.
↑TheTrollie wrote:vry good. thnx. now u wanna explain why your posting so bad as town?
Admission that he knows Nacho was town the whole time.
↑TheTrollie wrote:VOTE: nacho
L–1 no one hammer without claiming intent
Sets up the hammer for his buddy knowing full well that Dyrnify has an itchy trigger finger.
Self preservationist tactic that ONLY scum use unless there is a reason to actually save your life as town, I.E. Power Role. CF Riot was the cop, so we know TheTrollie has no power role to fakeclaim now. Since he wanted protection, he selfishly requested his own life be more important than anyone elses despite not having a power role. Town DO NOT DO THIS. At least in my experience. Especially Vanilla Town that have no reason to be protected. This is probably the most damning evidence of TheTrollie being scum individually, outside of his constant defense of his scumbuddy.
That is until the start of today, where he "conveniently" decides to buss his partner to try and solidify himself as town. Dyrnify's quickhammers have outlived their usefulness to TheTrollie and he needs the town cred QUICK.
He will try to use the same aggressive tactics he has used since the start of his replacing in to prevent any of you from voting for him. He will scream and shout and when that fails to deter suspicion he will sarcastically dismiss any legitimate reason to vote for him.
Don't fall for it. Even if Dyrnify should be today's lynch, do not allow TheTrollie any town cred for bussing his partner. Not after how EXTREMELY PERSISTENT he was in defending Dyrnify from any and all suspicions Day 2. He aggressively switched between myself and Nacho because he was so afraid of a Dyrnify lynch. The only reasons he didn't push so hard on an Emp Dear lynch is because he obviously has been trying to take down the most pro-town players in the game one by one so that he can take control of the game and win it for his team.
So that required Nacho to be lynched, CF Riot to be killed and his partner to be bussed for the additional town cred after Nacho so emphatically declared that Dyrnify was scum for taking his lynch bait. Too bad you spent so much energy defending Dyrnify Day 2, because now you've got so much egg on your face we'll be making omelettes at your gallows.
↑Om wrote:I agree to that but you're missing what I'm actually saying, the very fact that you couldn't be one of his possible Cop targets (Me, Em or Xeg) means you're likely scum over all three of them by PoE if one of the Dry and Smash flipped town.
uhhhh...(1) where did Xeg come from in there (2) no, because he only investigated ONE of you, meaning the other two are still just as likely to be scum as I am.
CF Riot & Xegarus were both accused of being scum with Xegar buddying up to CF Riot. It is very likely that CF Riot investigated Xegarus Night 1 because CF Riot never once espoused suspicion of Xegarus/Mykonian. So it is very likely he got an innocent from Mykonian.
We CAN'T AFFORD to consider scenarios where somebody could flip town at this point. With 6 alive, if we mislynch here with still two scum alive, it becomes a shot in the dark where the Doctor/Jailkeeper (assuming he's not lynched) deciding whether or not we get another Day phase. Which virtually means game over.
If anybody is going to place a vote, you need to be ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that you are voting for scum. No excuses.

Only scum preface an answer to a question with the word "Honestly?". It's the liars tell. If someone has to tell you "To be honest" before making a statement, that would assume that they have been or were lying previously. Or even could be lying right now and use the "Honestly" pretext to make it seem like what they were about to say is truthful.
You're busted son. I'm only lynching your scumbuddy right now because he's too dangerous to keep around while you're just an easy lynch at this point thanks to you falling for Nachos bait.

A PoE from my spot keeps you more into gray area then other two since that not guilty result was not on you.
Xeg is there 'cause of his P1 VT claim and if I put myself in Cop shoes, he is likely to be someone I would like to check out for exactly situations like this. And I can't eliminate him since CF never wanted or voted Xeg slot on D2. So, yes, your earlier statement implying that ''tomorrow it will be one of smash or Dry and Myko are the ones we will be looking at'', is not something I'm agreeing on atm.
All this said and done, lets keep this for tomorrow as I'm 99% sure we have both our scums nailed here.

Question 1 is nice for getting to know people, but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other threads on site if you want to meet people and find out why they play. Question 2 is... useless, obviously. 3 is also useless. Of course everyone trusts their own reads instead of their own unless someone else is convincing or not. None of these help with scumhunting, all of these add useless things to my thread. Please don't do random questions ever again pretty pretty please. These were less anti-town than they usually are, but that doesn't mean they are good

Whether i'm lying or not is up to you.
But if something doesn't add up, then SOMEONE did lie.
Mmmm... don't do this. If you are lying as town, then your PR claim won't be believed down the road, which is a very, very bad thing, since you would probably be forced to claim when a majority of the town finds you scummy anyways. If you are telling the truth as town, then you're basically saying "hey guys, I make a perfectly good mislynch! Don't kill me!" if they paranoid of you being a PR, they will rolecop you. They will not kill you. If you are mafia, this just brings the spotlight to you.

Whats to loose?
If you gain nothing, you probably don't want to do it. You can never really gauge consequences until they are hitting you in the face in most scenarios.
↑Xegarus wrote:I understand how random questions can be a stupid thing and basically force people to post for the sake of posting. But is that really so bad early on in the game? (thats a serious question)
Yes it is. The opening of games is extremely important, and RQS makes them a lot more muddled, a lot less advantageous for town. If you get the game started early and you don't give scum time to get comfortable, then things get interesting. For example, I normally would call Doctor scum for avoiding things and posting crap (I still probably will), but for now, I don't really know whether he is newbie who doesn't know where to start and so goes with answering random questions, or whether he is scum coasting.
↑kitiekatt wrote:I see the vote for Doc cause he answered the random Q's and posting crap, but I'm wondering why. A lot of us answered those random q's (which I think is what you're referencing as posting crap), was there other crap he posted or something other than the answering of the random questions that makes him more scummy? Cause if it's just for answering those questions that could be a lot of people.
It wasn't the answering questions that set me off, it was more that he did absolutely nothing else with it. The fact that he didn't respond to the page one VT claim tells me that he hasn't read, but if he hasn't read, then how did he know to answer those RQS questions? More likely than not, he was looking for something to post, found the random questions, answered them, and stopped reading. That tells me he's just posting to get by, which makes him likelier scum than not.

Now i know that eliminating scum is how you win the game for town. But can't that be said as keeping as many townies alive?
If you lynch on Day 2, you have a chance of getting scum, which is great but you also have a chance of getting town. Now N2, a town will always be killed. So, by lynching everyday, you increase the chance of losing 2 town compared to only loosing 1. So, it's optimal never to lynch because then we never lose 2 town!
...but that's not how it works. We have three chances to hit scum before we lose. No lynching D1 basically says that fuck it, we're obviously going to win this game so we need a handicap, let's do this with only two chances to hit scum instead. In fact, everytime we no lynch when there are an odd number of players alive, we're essentially throwing away one of our chances for absolutely no reason. So yeah, we want to lynch pretty much every day. Exception would be if there are 6 players alive and 2 scum left OR 4 players alive and 1 scum left and there isn't a confirmed town around. Then you might want to no lynch so you would have the minimum amount of suspects, but only then.
↑Xegarus wrote:So what you're saying that it's a bad move if i am town or scum. Hence just a bad move altogether?
Precisely.
↑Xegarus wrote:Why?
Am i really to close to see exactly whats so town about them?
Dyr
is being aggressive, targetting something that he regards to be scummy and locking on tight. While he does that, he's also looking around, criticizing people, searching for the other scum.
I find that pretty town.
Em+p is more of a tonal read, but the conscious creating of bandwagons to get people closer to a lynch is pretty cool, pretty cool.
↑Smashbard wrote:I would like elaboration as to why theres a wagon on the doctor and why empdear is town. I see dry and xegarus as town. Don't know about nacho. He wan this chummy in our last game. *Wasnt
Really? Pretty sure I buddied the hell out of camn last game until I thought she was scum.
Now, in this ONE post, nacho VOTES em+p_dear who he had as a town read not so long before this vote, AND claims that he is fine with dyr votes, another one of his town reads. the em+p_dear 180 might be an even stronger case but I haven't looked at that yet. My guess is Nacho was trying to spin his em+p townread into a lynch candidate, but when that didn't take steam and he saw the dyr wagon coming, he started laying out the groundwork for him to be able to jump onto it once it was time.
, but they don't work as a team. Myko, Om, and CF are all pretty strong townreads.
↑Smashbard wrote:If you're so convinced that I've been scum since Post #1 RQS, why isn't your vote on me? For someone so convinced you sure are struggling to find the gumption to vote me. Are you waiting to hear support from the other players first before you try and proceed with a lynch? Seems like you're not willing to take the leap on my wagon if it's not already backed by popular opinion first. You wouldn't need that if you weren't worried about drawing suspicion to yourself.
Soo any suspicions on anyone but me? Or is this a classic case of tunneling 101?
Ping.
Myko has been talking about different suspects, has been voting different suspects. Him not having the balls to vote you is an odd point, and it seems like you're trying to play a "vote me, I dare you" game which isn't a game townies play.
↑em+p_dear wrote:You were so sure that kittie was scum and made a good case against her and then all of the sudden, she's not so suspicious anymore.
Mostly due to her leaving post. I got her to take a position, got her to give reads, and she ended up going after a target that really wasn't that popular at all, which was not a reaction i expected if she felt pressured at all. i wanted to see an additional post to see how she would handle cf's treatment of her vote, but no luck there.
↑em+p_dear wrote:Is this just because of the data the wagon gives or is there another reason?
I've been a bit aggressive with your wagons because I won't be able to read you worth shit if you don't do something, and getting that wagon on you is the quickest way to get there.
↑em+p_dear wrote:As for Majiffy (that's Xeg's replacement, right?) I began to see him as innocent when other people began accusing me of scum. As smash pointed out, I was passive about it and instead of flat out asking people why they suspected me, I went back and reread my old posts and saw a lot of the same things Xeg wrote in his posts. I said some things that were stupid/suspicious, and from an objective point of view, I seemed wishy-washy and easily persuaded/discouraged by others. Initially, these were the very reasons I suspected Xeg, but in comparison, I found that I did them all as well. The more people suspected me, the more I reread my posts and the less scum/more clueless noob I began to see in him.
I like this reasoning a lot.
here, nacho starts agreeing with emp who he just said, EARLIER IN THIS POST, that he thought was scum, another 180. +scum for nacho
↑Smashbard wrote:Could someone play middle man for me since Mykonian is going to do the whole "I'm not talking to you! *plugs ears*" strategy. All I need is for someone not named Smashbard to ask the exact same questions I am asking, since so long as he feels I'm scum he's going to refuse to answer any of them.
mykonian is a more thoughtful player than you think he is
We're not getting anywhere having everyone split within three wagons. Obviously my reasons for suspecting Emp Dear are not convincing enough to everyone else, so yes, I'm compromising with two of my town reads rather than the Dyrnify Wagon because nobody can give me a straight answer as to why Dyrnify would hammer as scum on Day 1.
because he didn't see your intent to hammer
because there weren't any scum on the wagon and he was getting antsy
because he suspected doctor of being a power role and didn't want to give him time to actually claim
I thought emp handled my pressure really well. Interestingly enough, the Xegar read that I didn't even mean to ask for in the first place is what's giving me the strongest townread on the slot; it makes a lot of sense that emp would find him town after she was called out for doing certain things and saw Xegar doing those same things. Dyr, on the other hand, has really fallen off since Day 1, which I find pretty fucking suspicious. I thought that if he was scum, he had a pretty good day 1, but today he's not really pushing anyone and only voting emp when it's based on his survival. Also found smash's vote on me pretty interesting and would like for him to confirm that he is voting me using Om's and CF's logic.
he forgot to vote dyr in #399 after giving us an awe inspiring performance about why dyr should be lynched, so he corrects for the mistake in #400. He backtracks on his EMP read out of nowhere in this same post, after forgetting to indicate why he all of the sudden likes EMP in #399.
tl;dr
Nacho = scum
btw, i will switch my vote back to Nacho in a heartbeat, as soon as one other player switches to nacho I will switch too, i had to change over to smash because I was worried about the dyr mislynch
Makes an overly convoluted case against Nacho to make it seem like he's scumhunting Nacho. Mentioning once again discouragement of any attempts at Nacho "laying the ground work" for a Dyrnify wagon, and then finishing off his multi-quote wall with yet another intent to compromise on his lynch target so long as he has other players support FIRST. Which is an extremely scummy thing to do WITHOUT the mountain of evidence that exposes him as Dyrnify's scum partner.
Icing on the cake is TheTrollie ONCE AGAIN stating that he only switched to me because he's worried about a Dyrnify "mislynch".
His entire motivation going into this game after his initial read through has been "Save dyrnify from any and all suspicions. And call everyone who thinks he's scum, scummy to induce fear through aggressive play."
Busted.
↑TheTrollie wrote:vry good. thnx. now u wanna explain why your posting so bad as town?
Admission that he knows Nacho was town the whole time.
↑TheTrollie wrote:VOTE: nacho
L–1 no one hammer without claiming intent
Sets up the hammer for his buddy knowing full well that Dyrnify has an itchy trigger finger.
Self preservationist tactic that ONLY scum use unless there is a reason to actually save your life as town, I.E. Power Role. CF Riot was the cop, so we know TheTrollie has no power role to fakeclaim now. Since he wanted protection, he selfishly requested his own life be more important than anyone elses despite not having a power role. Town DO NOT DO THIS. At least in my experience. Especially Vanilla Town that have no reason to be protected. This is probably the most damning evidence of TheTrollie being scum individually, outside of his constant defense of his scumbuddy.
That is until the start of today, where he "conveniently" decides to buss his partner to try and solidify himself as town. Dyrnify's quickhammers have outlived their usefulness to TheTrollie and he needs the town cred QUICK.
He will try to use the same aggressive tactics he has used since the start of his replacing in to prevent any of you from voting for him. He will scream and shout and when that fails to deter suspicion he will sarcastically dismiss any legitimate reason to vote for him.
Don't fall for it. Even if Dyrnify should be today's lynch, do not allow TheTrollie any town cred for bussing his partner. Not after how EXTREMELY PERSISTENT he was in defending Dyrnify from any and all suspicions Day 2. He aggressively switched between myself and Nacho because he was so afraid of a Dyrnify lynch. The only reasons he didn't push so hard on an Emp Dear lynch is because he obviously has been trying to take down the most pro-town players in the game one by one so that he can take control of the game and win it for his team.
So that required Nacho to be lynched, CF Riot to be killed and his partner to be bussed for the additional town cred after Nacho so emphatically declared that Dyrnify was scum for taking his lynch bait. Too bad you spent so much energy defending Dyrnify Day 2, because now you've got so much egg on your face we'll be making omelettes at your gallows.
Vote: TheTrollie
Scum #2
smash has been opportunistic as shit. oh wait...i did see that in his town meta. PROBABLY scum #2
