So, I'm back...
and catching up, but I still don't really understand why we are lynching a claimed cop without a counter-claim. Yeah, Orci could be scum but he could be the real cop and can clear players. If Orci does, so happen end up being scum, it isn't beneficial for him to clear members because it'll paint a target on them should they survive for more than a few days after his deathCabd: "hell, mc maraca is a two lady hydra of justice"- MC Maraca

The point of leashing an SK is that they have a confirmable killing people power that sorts people out with 100% reliability, and the night actions used during the night aren't completely useless when they flip anti-town. The cop question is something else entirely.In post 1978, MC Maraca wrote:I swear to arceus this "lynch the claimed cop" vs. "let scum nightkills sort it the fuck out" debate parallels my RQS about leashing a SK.

because, at this point, the one I'm most fustrated with was Bauss and He's been town as fuck. there is nothing in this game hat reminds me of how he played when he was my buddy, AND he has the righteous-town attitude even if he isn't listening to anyone else and is calling everyone who argues with him scumIn post 1662, yessiree wrote:

also, why are you passing off the possibility that scums are muddying the waters, but going straight to pure internal conflicts
Bauss: BP can, and usually is, scum (IME) and, as a safe-claim is more likely than a cop claim anyway. also, as a PR you want to stop your lynch from going through, claiming Vanilla or BP isn't going to make that happen.Cabd: "hell, mc maraca is a two lady hydra of justice"- MC Maraca

I could care less what you think about me, I was and still am stressed because my boss is an a-hole, well then sorry for having a life, that's like the worst reason ever to flip a read on someone that i'm thinking you might be scum after all.In post 1974, MC Maraca wrote:Town-Sakura is many things.

And that little ATE about lynching her is one of the worst emulations of her town ATE I've seen in a long time.

and, you still havn't told me about all those things I was wondering about earlier.
still havn't taken into consideration that, I am town-reading BRO's and that I have said that I was willing to move our vote on Orci (though I needed to talk about him with Cabd first) and it should be pretty damn clear on why that is no longer an option
and there is the little thing where, you say I'm not showing you my love this game but, I am. I'm also just really, really fustrated with you, and I said I loved you in our scum game not because you bussed me, but how you handled the game after I died. it had nothing to do with our relationship
AND ON THE SUBJECT OF MY SCUM GAME, you already know that I don't ignore buddies and I do bus when it is optimal to do so (which would have been now if Orci and I were buddies) and you know that I'm not scared to do so. You know that I'm not scared to attack people who have a fair amount of experience with me and that I would treat everyone just about the same. I don't have a tendency to hard-defend, unless I have a good reason to but you aren't taking any of those into consideration, why?

Town
likeabauss - mostly because of the conviction of his meta read. If he's scum and Rank/orcinus is town, then he's engineered this mislynch, not just backed it, and he'll have no credibility at all ever in an emphatic meta-based read of Rank among this player list and among any player who metas this game. I can't see him pushing a mislynch in this particular manner. I just can't. And if Orcinus is scum, I can't see him going for such an early bus based purely on meta to start with.
Cephrir - Ceph is one of those paradoxical players who look more town as scum than they do as town. In ffery's first game with him (amnesiac), she spent most of her time in the game thinking he was scum because his stances looked hedgy, his reads looked bad, and some of the stuff he said just reeked with scummitude. The nail in the coffin was his berating the hypothetical doc about not protecting "obvtown" her on night 1 when she turned up dead on day 2. When he's scum, he looks more decisive and his reads look more thought out and sensible. The one small niggle is that ceph knows what we look for in his town and scum games and he has tried (with some success) to modify those behaviors when we're in the player list. But, we've found that he winds up looking a little stilted as a result.
Hermy - newbsorter says this is self-righteous newbtown. This read is so strong that it's all but sort and never look back.
Less Town
Sakura - A lot of things are being kept underneath the surface, even for a new playstyle. But we think that the confrontations that she has gotten herself into have been indications of Sakura town; for the majority of them (read: orc) there have been easy outs, easy ways to back away. But she hasn't taken any of them. #988 "I've done all I can to be town in this thread" also rang very strongly townie to us, although there are a few niggles with regards to the iceberg beneath the surface.
MVP - His trajectory on orcinus is a little off. His early read seemed to be purely based on Bauss' meta read. When we asked him why he was scumreading orcinus a few pages ago he said it was based on orcinus post-claim play and didn't mention reasons for suspecting orcinus prior to the claim.
Angry Frat BROs - weak read, mostly based on his emotional reactions to Bauss and to his wagon.
Guyett - His reaction to his wagon looks decently town. This read is growing stale because lurking.
MC Maraca - Didn't like the yessiree meta case that was never really put out there for the cat to sniff. Also don't like the Sakura vote. But, his outrage over what he sees as a failure to follow solid mafia theory looks town. So does his calling out ffery for being hypocritical about paradox prime, though ffery totally fails to see any parallels in the situations.
TiP - Probably will be able to leave this read to MC Maraca, but not sure. We found him latching onto a lurking easy target as "confirmed town" to be shutting down options for no clear reason from a scumTiP perspective, although his early reachout to Bauss/Rank was sort of strange (we rarely see him do that kind of thing, if ever). TiP pushing for a utility lynch is in and of itself an incredibly strange thing and he dodged MVP's question of why he would push something like that and ended up dropping it very quickly. His excitement at seeing orc claimed seemed very genuine. "If I'm alive tomorrow, I have shit to say" (who would NK TiP) is strange. Would lean scum if not for endorsement.
yessiree - His arguments for the orcinus wagon look town, though his earlier play was meh. He may move to top tier town depending on orcinus' flip.
Toomai - content looks pretty town. Putting caled at L-1 is a flag if she's town and orcinus is scum. Read could go stale given activity.
Leftovers
caledfwitch - the big concern is the tunneling of Guyett. There's an inconsistency to the trajectory we posted about in 1852
JacobSavage - Lurkfuckery and the bauss vote
Peregrine - ISO includes getting pinged on an early MVP question for no discernible reason that transitioned to a few easy hops onto random wagons. His current push shows uncomfortableness with the orc wagon while pushing for the Guyett lynch he seemed to have conviction for earlier, which is bad regardless of orc's flip (scum, distancing but not pushing wagon. town, trying to push a different wagon but nothing viable).
RC - He is known as more of tryhard as scum, lurks like fucking crazy as town. He sometimes gets a little more involved when he latches onto something, but here he's latching onto Bauss like a leech and mimicking pretty much everything he says, while passing it off like it's his own original thought. We thought his "Frat BROs is my stronger read, but I guess I can settle for claimed cop orcinus" was suspiciously in step with Bauss's own thoughts, although I did sort of like his "normally I would claim cop here" shtick.
