that is telling you that your product is worthless.

If scum do not know how many masons there are, they won't fakeclaim mason, so I'm not sure why BRO asking how many masons there are can be considered as a counter to scum fakeclaims. On the contrary, knowing how many there are tells scum if there's anything to gain or not from fakeclaiming mason.

If both masons die tonight (highly unlikely but yeah it's possible), then we deal with anyone who claims to be a 3rd and final mason if and when it happens. We see if it makes sense for them to be a mason with serene and dram. It's not a concern, because it's a remote chance that both masons die tonight, and someone later claims to be a 3rd, with no 4th to confirm. It's much better imo to keep scum guessing. If they don't know how many masons there are, they can't make an optimal decision on who to NK tonight, because they'll be torn between trimming down the mason group, and hunting other PRs.

Yeah I can see more scum motivation than town for asking how many masons there are.
First post from you guys that has unequivocally hit me as town-motivated. Recalibrating.
I don't get it. How so?
It's a well reasoned,
town
reasoned explanation for why town doesn't need to know the number of masons today, and why leaving the uncertainty in play for scum makes town sense.

Ok fair enough.

I'm still leaning scum with your slot though. I didn't like doc, and you've not yet shaken off that read.

BRO, zdenek, baby spice and cephrir my current scum reads. I am still way behind though.

@mod - can we have a fresh VC please? Thanks

It's not worthless, it's helping us knowing who's town or not. A similar feeling I had regarding my 797.

Also, are you guys really sure Calc should be lynched this round? I am really not that convinced, can we summarise the scummy posts/actions Calc has brought?

Doctor Karma, I wrote you something in Arts and Crafts that fits the occasion

"In the garden, we must cultivate and tend our precious flowers
The sun beats down upon the flowers, drying them, making them thirst
A thirst must be quenched if our garden is to grow.
The weeds must be removed lest they choke the life of our flowers and deny the beauty of our garden.
Only the blood of weeds will suffice to quench the thirst of our flowers
Only the moldering corpses of fucking scum weeds will suffice as fertilizer
By our firm but tender hand, we tend our garden
Even when our flowers hate us for it.

I was hoping you were still around to reply to this.

One of the reasons I kept Cephrir in my scumpile for much of the amnesiac game (while I was in it and afterwards) was because his posts came off as hedgy to me. Another reason was that the posts also came off as a little wordsmithed. And the final reason was his first post after day 2 started because I want to lynch cheerleading/reverse cheerleading with fire every time I see it.

And that is by way of saying that his reads list is not bothering me too much.
