Open 647: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[PenguinPower]

I like smith more than you. I think I still like penguin though because he refused to claim which was weird to me, but whatever that wagon is dead now I guess.

I explained why I didn't respond to your claim initially. In the end I did despite my desire not to.

[MURDERCAT]

Yes, I know you did, but scum would also prefer not having to claim so it's hard to believe you.

[DixC]

It could just be that some-few people who've been here a while feel like they have leave to act like fundament-based chapeaus: which is why I'm not keen on voting for podo, you, or tran: even though there is a high probability that at least one of you is scum as no one hammered ^pengiun and you three, with your low-brow shenanigans, are most likely to be scum.

[Chip Butty]

Extension is good, have just done a quick re-read. Will go through stuff a bit more carefully and decide what I want to do. For now:

UNVOTE:

@Dix: what is a "fundament-based chapeau"?

[podoboq]

you three, with your low-brow shenanigans

I take offense to this.

[Smithereens]

I see I'm at L-1 again. You can lynch me on the condition that you lynch my scum reads afterwards:

Dunn -> Trans -> Podo (In any order)

Allow me to complain a little, but the play in this game is just bloody awful. I shouldn't have to explain everything I do even if I realise that half of you are new to this site. The scum have been dancing in front of you all day and now they lead a wagon against the townie who forced all that material out of them and so few people actually notice it. Smh.

[SirCakez]

OMG
We can't hold a wagon together on anyone *facepalm*
Penguin's posting was terrible but the wagon in him dissolved for...no reason. That's a big scum tell.

Still stand by Penguin/Six/Smith scum team
I'm hammering Smith in the morning

[Dunnstral]

I mean

I want Ranger still

[Dunnstral]

I'm hammering Smith in the morning

No you're not

[SirCakez]

Why not?

[Smithereens]

Let him look like an idiot if he wants it. He should know better for his level of experience.

[DixC]

If you and Smithereens are the only viable wagons as we get near deadline, I'll consider voting you to avoid a nolynch* but other than that, I'm not enthusiastic.

If you want to try to build a wagon on someone else, I would vote it over letting myself get mislynched, but I'm not optimistic. We don't have a lot of time. If you legit think we're TvT, then by all means, try to start a new wagon. If you want to make a case on shotty, I doubt I'll jump over, but I'd lynch him over nolynch or getting mislynched.

You should stop trying to divert the wagon off yourself onto a completely innocent bystander. You actually deserve to eat your words since your tact with trying to get me mislynched backfired.

It's not a tactic. I tried to get things consolidated on two players here. More importantly, off of Maru, because at this point I'd rather get mislynched than have Maru lynched.

Also, I just said I'm unlikely to jump off of you. I have other scumreads, and if a wagon were to form on Ranger, for example, I'd be willing to lynch it. I'd rather lynch you, but if that's not considered an option, I'm willing to compromise if some other wagon actually happens.

I mean

I want Ranger still

I'm inclined to give you VOTE: ranger but only because I think you and PoDo are a unit have been against ranger from the start and if ranger is scum then it was a setup to sac ranger to make you look good.

The only way you don't look guilty as hell for wanting to kill the person that's got you and podo as scum is if you know ranger is too.

That or Cakes; he's flying extra-low and on the ^Penguin train list.

[Ranger]

Ranger's reads are really bad
The top tier there is leantown

Hmm.

There appears to be a problem in this post.

I wonder what it is?

[Ranger]

Wat you're mafia too aren't you

Yes, Transcend is in fact mafia.
So are you with an incredibly-fake post like this!

[Ranger]

I'm beginning to think, believe it or not, that it's possible both {podoboq, PenguinPower} are town.
Possible.
I wouldn't cry if they were lynched, and I would not be surprised to see them flip scum.

I just don't have the confidence in their lynches I used to.
{Transcend, Dunnstral} are my strongest scumreads.

There's the possibility of me being wrong about one of my townreads (and if so, I know which one), but I don't want to reveal which one that would be at this time.

VOTE: Dunnstral.

[Smithereens]

Yay.

VOTE: Dunn

[MURDERCAT]

no list?

[Smithereens]

Why did Trans and Dunn together want Podo saved and Smithers lynched though?

I'd say that implicates podo.

[MURDERCAT]

I could do Dunn, but do we have time?

[Smithereens]

I could do Dunn, but do we have time?

Yes, easily. Just switch votes to him and we'll get him lynched.

[Ranger]

Because when you do, could you re-evaluate your reads re penguin in light of his wagon (specifically Dunn)?

Dunnstral staying

off

the wagon, regardless of Penguin's alignment, is absolutely horrendous, thus the vote on him.

I realize there may be a deadline soonish, so pragmatically I might be forced to compromise on a lynch, but unless it's on {Dunnstral, Transcend}, at this point, I would NOT be happy with

any

lynch in the game.

[MURDERCAT]

VOTE: Dunn

[Ranger]

Dunn -> Trans -> Podo (In any order)

No, Dunnstral THEN Transcend (or flipped), and from there, reconsider for the third. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe podoboq, but not as likely as before. Pooooossibly PenguinPower, but unlikely. A bit more likely to be *secret scumread that was once a townread*, but I'm not positive at this stage. It's a ~feeling~ that I think a flip or two will help us with.

no list?

The problem with a readslist is that by the very nature of giving one, I'm showing my hand to everyone. At this point, I cannot give a readslist without also exposing the secret scumread I have. I'll say it's not you and it's not Smithereens, since you two are my absolute god-tier of town right now, but that's as much as I will say on my reads.

[DixC]

Why didn't Dunnstral hammer if he's scum?

[MURDERCAT]

Ranger not giving a list what's going on. How do I sheep. Someone hold me.
