Quoting for emphasis on new page. Sheep this, and town wins.

[Ranger]

And, yes, I will defend the self-vote as a valid tactic.
It confirmed Not_Mafia as scum, and Radiant as town.
I get to control a vengekill, which means no matter who you lynch, I get to shoot at whatever scum lives through the day.
For instance, it's always possible you lynch Rhaegar and he's town, in which case I'd vengekill Killthestory since, again, Postie is obviously town.
Or maybe you're idiots and lynch Killthestory and he's town, so kill Rhaegar to get that scum flip.
No need to vengekill Not_Mafia, since he's confirmed scum already; the only way I'm vengekilling Not_Mafia is if both the other groups lynch their mafiate.

[Ranger]

(It also means scum cannot kill Radiant. Town get to kill ANY player, scum can only kill in their group of 3, so by lynching me, Radiant lives.)

[Ranger]

Basically, this game's broken for the same reason shortnight was: we only need ONE town player in each group of three.
TIMU is one.
Postie is a second.
And now, RC is a third.

So, we win.

[Ranger]

The best part is, Radiant can now talk to you as confirmed town. I'm lynched, so as soon as Maestro comes in, I can't talk anymore, but HE can. (And will probably admonish me for how stupid I was, don't care, we got confscum from it so it's a worthy trade.)

My only regret is we have nothing from Not_Mafia prior to him being confirmed scum, and obviously we now know everything he'll say after this cannot be trusted.

[Not_Mafia]

You didn't confirm anything

[Rhaegar]

This game...

[Rhaegar]

To paraphrase Ranger: "I'm going to do something incredibly anti-town by voting myself, which means for sure that the person who then votes me must be scum, because there's not way a town player would be suspicious of me."

Not_Mafia, you are the worst scum I've ever played with lol

[This is my username]

Like Rhaegar is scum defending her buddy from the grave, no one but scum who doesn't know the setup (which Not_Mafia probably was, seeing as he never posted) would hammer there.

Also Panther, I was Clarinets in that game. Should've mentioned that, sorry.

[This is my username]

right probably should mention the quickhammer

I highly doubt KTS would've quickhammered as scum, because that is not an awful way to stay alive as scum. If Rhaegar flips Town, though, we obviously lynch him.

[This is my username]

That is* an awful way to stay alive as scum.

[Not_Mafia]

Not_Mafia, you are the worst scum I've ever played with lol

I'm Not_Mafia

This x100. Ranger, I think is going to flip scum. If town, that play was terrible, and your reads are terrible.

Rhaegar is going to flip town. That's extremely apparent.

[PantherPunt]

Like Rhaegar is scum defending her buddy from the grave, no one but scum who doesn't know the setup (which Not_Mafia probably was, seeing as he never posted) would hammer there.

So how do you say this with a straight face and also think Killthestory is town? Since he said he wouldn't hammer and then did it anyways 2 posts later?

[PantherPunt]

2 minutes later, as well

[PantherPunt]

PantherPunt is a top scumread because from the get-go, he's been ridiculously obvious scum; he is the xRECKONERx of this game. His later posting did

not

change this for me, at all.

No reasoning just use of emphatic words. Clear scum tactic.

hmmm. This post gives me a bit of pause actually. This is a very good post if Ranger is scum because it shows a thought-out thought process of town reasoning vengekill targets.

[PantherPunt]

VOTE: this is my username

Trollie seems to have an extremely firm townread on TIMU. I mean he said "TIMU 100% Town" and "I think I'm in love." So this vote gets me killed most likely, but I think TIMU is the scum in my group.

And I'm not going to just vote Trollie on the basis that I have a better chance of appealing to scum!TIMU to vote that way.

So it appears I'm in a damned if I do, damned if I don't scenario here. But honestly, this game has been such an ugly mess of bad play I'll be happy to wash my hands of it either way.

But Trollie - Please take your time and review the posting from TIMU and I.

[PantherPunt]

And if we do lynch scum!TIMU I'm always the one of us that mafia vengekills. I'm the vocal threat who will have had the (more) correct reads, all things considered.
