Whoever got NK and BP should probably do the former. The rest can do the latter, I think.
Why would BP claim?
Why did BP go for far more than the nk did? Bp was bought for $191. Nk, $76. One scumteam, maybe both was/were so scared of dying to the n3 nk I guess they reasoned was already out of their hands (which I think does a little toward thinking the majority of the Five are town) that they didn't care for the n2 nk they were more sure of obtaining instead of contesting for it. If one of the six bid on it and another managed to win the nk as well (assuming it wasn't pyro, anyways), then we just stole their chance of killing another townie AND prevented them from having any chance of protection against any nks we do have for at least one night, maybe more.
Wait a minute. So...you're saying that scum are the ones who bid so much on BP, because they wanted to protect themselves from crosskills from the other team?
(In other news, the Mhork cross-examination is pointless. He's obviously in contact with Pyro due to the outside information he has, you can't infer anything at all about Pyro's read on Mhork because they'd never deliberately lie just to make Mhork look scummy, and Mhork was town anyway for stuff that happened on D1 so none of this matters.)

OH!
Did anyone advertise $5 or less on an ability that showed up on N2?
Let me ask the question a different way: since not advertising at all hurts Town's wincon but not Scum's, why aren't we metaing anyone immediately that claims to advertise nothing, particularly the first Night (Night 0)?
The reason why I say shit like that, is Town needs certain abilities to remain in the game (Cop, Tracker, Watcher, Doc), while scum doesn't necessarily need Investigation Immune or Hitman if certain abilities vanish.

We advertised according to the 'plan' post, which means we placed $5 on the abilities instructed.
Again, we didn't like the plan, we thought it was fucking stupid (PA's much nicer than I about this shit) and I wasn't a fan of who we gave our remainder to (which we aren't revealing, you can go ahead and lynch us), but we did it.

No, to protect themselves from the nk going up tnoight. There may be another reason why BP was so hotly contested that I'm not thinking of, but what I said seems to be the most logical, or why would it have gone for $191?
(Eh, I haven't been liking mhork as of late. Are you sure that what he's done D1 really outweighs anything else so far?)

(Am a bit sad I didn't just catch Voided trying to fake a townslip when he'd already shown knowledge of the crosskill immunity. Oh, well.)

This is a terrible argument (speaking as someone who chose not to advertise N0, although it was the wrong move in retrospect). Should we resurrect Pyrotechnics and lynch them for not advertising anything at all? Although I agree that advertising a protown ability on N0 (when you were less accountable for it) is a point in someone's favour, that doesn't mean NOT advertising is particularly telling. For one, scum can lie about what they advertised, and for another, not advertising is a perfectly viable strategy--it means more money for actually bidding on abilities.
Since you keep bashing the plan, what would you have done differently? Do you have any improvements to suggest for tonight instead of repeating how stupid we were for going through with it? (Also, the reason to claim is so we know something's fishy if the money claimed to be transferred and the money received don't add up; Banakai's ad claims mean I don't really suspect you now, but you not revealing reduces how useful everyone else's claim is, since any discrepancy could just be because of your mystery donation.)

it's possible, if mhork was cocky scum who was like, "hahaha, we killed you last night, bitch!" in his first message to them. that's why i don't mind the line of questioning from morph and don't think it's necessarily fake
tbh, i'd like to see another question asked in similar vain towards the end of the day to make sure mhork isn't deliberately misrepresenting anything they're telling him. like, i think mhork is town, but it doesn't hurt to do this
Hey, Muffin, what are your thoughts on ProHawk being proven to have advertised Gravedigger? Does that affect your read of him? (He's someone I want to take a closer look at today. I remember thinking he came off badly in his posts at the end of D2, but I kind of skimmed his argument with you.)

I'm sure we can figure out some more. Both mine and ffery's syr-based hydrae have enough completed games that we can ask some hard to fake results to questions.
lb wrote:what are your thoughts on ProHawk being proven to have advertised Gravedigger?
should i have thoughts on this? because i don't. it doesn't really play a factor in my read on him, if that's what you're asking. i don't share your opinion that advertising abilities means anything about alignment, or is even really a point in someone's favour. it would not surprise me in the least if scum are claiming to have advertised protown abilities. it's what i might have done as scum N0.
In post 2114, morph the cat wrote:This is the part where all players NOT in the town 6 (well 5) claim their exact actions on both advertising and money sending.
After that, the town five will claim their results.
Advertised $10 each to Cop, Doc, Tracker, Wage Freeze, and Watcher and threw $123 at upside down. I also mediumed pyro for aformentioned reasoning.
I think I'll do some VCA on him later. But as far as I know, Voided has been on every wagon that lead to a lynch.
Probably Seanald/Harakiri since I likes all the others. Also the fact that the wagoned just sorta sat there for a bit was an indicator that his buddies weren't necessarily jumping at the chance to bus him for glorious towncred, but that's just my $.02.
In post 2163, Lost Butterfly wrote:Mhork, what made you decide to use your Medium on Pyro? Also, can you ask them if they have Ninja or Governor?
Just because I'd like to actually type this as a real post, my reasoning was fairly simple. I wanted to pick one of the Big Six because that's where the money was headed. Concentrated money was a more likely target for scum to shoot at, so it seemed fairly straightforward to medium one of them. Then I factored in general mood and I recalled a lot of people proclaiming obvtown Pyro more than obv town anyone else, so I figured if that stuck in my mind, it probably would have been stuck in other peoples' mind. Plus I generally think more highly of Pyro's opinion since Pyro was really, really town >.>
In addition Tammy refused to confirm any thing with regard to abilities owned or money possessed until she sees what other people did.
In addition some more Tammy thoughts:
She feels like not everyone should have transferred money to the Big Six. She thinks we should have had top scum reads transferring money to people.
She doesn't like how muffin transferred lots of money to Lost Butterfly because they weren't even on their Big Six.
And, though I don't necessarily agree, Tammy points out that Hirikari looks townier for ignoring the plan.
In addition she likes Prohawk claiming he sent money to her and thinks that PV should out his neighborhood.
given it's a large game, scum lynches this early in the game most likely will involve bussing. tho keep in mind there's only 2 other people on his team (or mb 3)
now that you mention it, thinking about it from a money standpoint bussing might not be such a good idea. not sure atm >_<
It seems more likely that right-scum were on it.
There may be one leftie who was stuck with the bus job, but it seems more like the third (or other two) would've distanced or not been on it.
That makes mhork worse, imo. Sure, using medium on tammy is a town-looking move, but I really don't like his half-hearted support of the wagon and the fact that he never actually voted DP despite saying he agreed with it and should vote him.
Ah yes. My halfhearted support of the wagon and then not doing anything about it. It couldn't possibly stemmed from me, ya know, not being on/looking at the game/being busy with real life, right?
Re: Asking questions in the QT to prove that I'm talking with Pyro:
As I've said before: Syry thinks that it's cheating and Tammy thinks it's fake and for show. Also I don't want to do it because it's stupid. I'm not lying and I've already demonstrated the fact that I'm not lying.

These types of posts always piss me off too. Quit focusing on trying to find people who 'claim scum' and hunt scum. Like Nero. Or Seanald.
