Town are often lynched day 1 for being right, probably especially in this setup. I believe Springtrap was Lynched for his insight.

I've pondered about whether this statement is plausible. After further consideration, I've concluded that it is most likely true.

One hour and 38 minutes ought to be enough to put that post together. Moreover, the post does seem to be a reaction to being voted. The relative freshness of the links in the posts indicate that this was not just a post they have in a folder "prewritten shitposts from whenever" and it seems somewhat unlikely that in or before the pregame phase they decided "lets write a special reaction shitpost specifically for Open 741 just in case somebody ends up voting me during RVS which may or may not happen".
despite the post I quoted eod1 I initially read this as probably not s/s with meme (ghost) because if she were thinking about the general idea of meme being scum, she would probably be mentioning the possibility of my shitpost being pre-arranged theatre with them

I just realized that probably doesn't make sense because aster was scumreading meme as her top scumread, so she would have been thinking about it anyway, which probably makes them more likely s/t if anything

(I do think pin probably isn't s/s with ghost either for the same reason though, that and I don't think pin is scum very often here anyway unless maybe with rc)

When Gamma commits to a bus, he often stays on the wagon for a long period of time. This actually should be concerning given that when Gamma is town he tends to move his vote around a bit more. You should look at how Gamma treats texcat and Golden Robster in NY213.

When presented with two EoD wagons, one on a scumbuddy (Whemestar) and one on town (incidentally, PenguinPower), Gamma opts to bus:

During a CFD, Gamma joins a Texcat wagon here:

In post 6722, Gamma Emerald wrote:VOTE: Golden Robster
I don't understand people backing off of this, why, because he gave up and self-voted? That's a pot of WiFoM and you know it.
and stays on it until he is lynched.

Gamma in that game bussed literally everyone on his scum team at some point (he also bussed Wheme), and did so in two situations where there were serious other wagons presented for the days lynch.

That is to say, thinking that Gamma will not bus consistently and bus early as scum is misguided.

In fact I think the reason Gamma *moved off Penguin* is precisely because *we were going to jail Gamma*. This is the point at which Gamma had to *stop his bus*. And that's why his vote on Mew makes no sense from a town PoV and is for nonsensical reasons. *He had to get off Penguin because if Penguin got lynched and he was jailed and investigated, he was losing the game*.
In post 3105, DVa wrote:
In post 3091, Nako wrote:I am willing to vote DVA at the moment.
b) Gamma bussed a lot

Frankly it is way more plausible that Gamma would move from bus to bus because Gamma knew who the scum team were and could play toward a strategy of cross-bussing. I could not do that because I did not know who the scum were.
In post 3110, DVa wrote:Actually that kinda reminds me, the way Gamma distances from DDL+PP here is very similar to how Gamma busses Wheme and Texcat in the posts I quoted earlier.

You have been using them since post one but they were sprinkled in. After the meta point it was a rush of gifs.
That is, as scum, Gamma tends to bus and distance his scumbuddies through underexplained "meta" discussions. 342 is the closest he gets to substance and even then he barely scratches the surface. This kinda gives me the sense that Gamma will, as scum, use meta arguments to give the impression that he is thinking about a player slot beyond the context of just this game, but since he already knows their alignment and actually reading those games would be pointless and boring, he can't really engage in a substantive discussion of the points involved or really explain his reasoning in detail.
DVa lays out the pattern I'm talking about pretty clearly right there, not only giving some examples from past games, but now also with that game as proof because DVa was in fact correct.

Thoughts on the current wagons?
I will answer this again when the votecount is updated, but all I'm seeing right now is mainly filler and fluff in a game where we should probably be more worried. You know, since 4 of us are evil out of 13 (or 15, I guess, if we count the accounts with multiple people).

I'll wait until later for more critical judgement, and mostly so I can see what is purely friendship and what is attempted buddying.
In post 1048, Gamma Emerald wrote:Get well soon, cos deadline approaches and finding a bridge between my thinking and the group think would be nice
So the post above seemed a little like a scumslip with the "since 4 of us are evilt out of 13", but mostly my scumread on Spring is his reluctancy to provide anything to the game at all. The thing he has most said in the thread is "I will provide something something tomorrow", but nothing ever comes. It's not like he wasn't here: he made some jokes when everybody was doing that, but when the game got serious, he disappeared. My townreads are pushing him, so I'm happy being part of that wagon too.

But with my tinfoil hat on, the whole interaction between the spookycat and Springtrap seemed to be the cat throwing a lifebelt to Spring: Spring needed some content, and the cat started making some questions that seemed forced. So yeah, my attention is on both players right now.
Point me those questions-ward if possible?
(If I am wrong about my current four top scumreads, pint would be one of the main suspects from wagon positioning.)

It is just as suspect from the AnonymousGhost side of things.

Altogether the interaction between those three just looks like distancing/bussing rather than genuine gamesolving.

"So I know Springtrap was a flashwagon, with no real wagons prior to the day-end votecount. By gut, would say those that joined the wagon after it exploded are above random odds for being town. The first three can be of any alignment tho.
Still, those off the wagon are where I'm focusing.

Why wasn't RC sheeped?

AnonymousGhost seems like another candidate, as does Aster.
So my first places I'd look are AnonymousGhost, RC, Aster, Gamma Emerald in about that order.
I'd look at Firebringer after that.

Of course.
This flash-VCA is doubtfully accurate, but is better than nothing."

That was about it, which as you can tell, is pretty much what I ended up posting at daystart.
Since then, my suspicion on the Firebringer slot has been replaced with pint; RC and Gamma have switched positions.

I'd be willing to bet with a fair amount of confidence:
Blackjacks is town,
Lolwagons is town,
Clemecy is town,
In about that order.

I haven't seen anything from ceejayvinoya to make an alignment call there; if
anyone
late on the wagon is scum, the only one who could be it is Keyser Soze (because there was a chance however remote that if Keyser didn't hammer Springtrap that he would be lynched giving potential scum incentive there), so both of those are players I'm not yet able to confidently call town, even though I do not believe them to be scum.

So that gives you a rough readslist of where I'm at.

Blackjacks
Lolwagons
Clemency

ceejayvinoya
Keyser Soze (these two may be reversed, or interchangeable even, hard to say)

THE MEME MEN's answers

A glorious exercise in beating-around-the-bush

In post 270, THE MEME MEN wrote:I dont do rvs anymore, i personally jump straight to business like james doakes and penguinpower do.
✓ Statement does not answer the question.

THE MEME MEN told us to be careful voting during RVS, so I asked him whether he thought RVS was bad. "I don't RVS myself" does not answer the question, which clearly intended to ask whether he thought RVS shouldn't happen at all; what does he think about other players RVSing?
In post 270, THE MEME MEN wrote:players using words when they're sure, or not using words - it depends on the context like what they're trying to attain - whether reaction testing or whatever
✓ Skips one question.
✓ Doesn't answer the other.

The main question was whether players shouldn't vote lightly. A subquestion asked about the alternative of "using only words without voting". Yet he answers like the question was "Are words bad?"
In post 270, THE MEME MEN wrote:look at Herebus with the 14 player large normal, moderated by Krazy. that had 4 scum.
✓ Cites anecdotal evidence.
✓ Cited evidence does not support his point.

Herebus day one had only two out of four scum on the lynchwagon, which is completely average since over half the town was on the lynchwagon. If anything, Herebus demonstrates that the scum will not collectively jump on the lynchwagon merely because they can.

Yes, they did collectively jump on the lynchwagon at LyLo, and that's completely beyond the point. Of course mafia would collectively quickhammer a LyLo wagon when they can. The real issue is about whether mafia will try to collectively quickhammer during early game.


Going Deeper

There is something about these answers. It seems that THE MEME MEN are unwilling to answer questions with "yes" or "no" and are instead trying to write something that resembles an answer but actually isn't. I get the impression that they hope my questions will just disappear, which is further corroborated by LH taking his sweet time to answer my questions while RH avoided looking like a lurker; he could've been trying to just stall things hoping town's attention shifts elsewhere in the meanwhile.

Now, if THE MEME MEN were town, why do they need to avoid answering questions? If he believed in his opinions, he could've confidently presented them; they weren't scum opinions at any rate. Alternatively he could have realized and admitted that although he hadn't thought things through, he made his suggestion in good faith.

On the other hand, if THE MEME MAN is scum, this behaviour makes a whole lotta sense. He clearly cannot confidently present his opinion because he knows it is a scum opinion and/or doesn't even believe it himself. He can't find another presentable opinion that doesn't make him look stupid. He doesn't admit that he hadn't thought things through because I said earlier that I expected town to crusade that his opinion is right, and certainly he doesn't want to look like folding scum. Stuck with a no-win situation, he tries to make things go away by stalling and beating around the bush.

Tl;dr:
THE MEME MEN opened the game with a LAMIST suggestion. I think his suggestion was unlikely to have been made in good faith. THE MEME MEN are scared to talk about their opinions leading to their suggestion.

Having isoed both Meme and Anonymous can say that my scumread on the slot separate from Gamma interactions has grown stronger as both holders of it tripped gut scumtells on overall vibe. Wouldn't really be able to point to anything from either of them, because I was scrolling and just thinking, which alignment would this be more likely to be from, and overwhelmingly? "Yep. Scum."

So AnonymousGhost and Gamma Emerald are lockscum of lockscum for me off of both interactions with each other and off of general vibe from their isos from their total contribution across the game.

Lynching anyone other than one of those two would be doing an incredible disservice to the game.

In post 933, Springtrap wrote:This post here and their other ones similar to it feel different then when Blackjack also did the same. It just feels... Very messy and just mentioning "Lurker" a large amount of the time for nearly all of them. When Aster did this, it felt more like instead of townreading or scumreading, it was a critique in general. Which I think would be easier to do as either alignment, instead of just town.
It also seems weird to go through 1 "Non-Lurker" in that they completely disagreed with most of what they've done. Again, more critique then a read. Just "wary".
I am also a proponent of the lynched player potentially having good reads, and this stuck out to me immediately.
(Not to discard the nightkill, by the way--haven't done a full iso there but I did particularly note that Yuurei as I knew the account holder as, is particularly competent but prone to reevaluating things that shouldn't have been reevaluated, and had fingered quite heavily Gamma I believe it was? Or was it Meme? Or was it both? Butyeah, that didn't escape my notice and I'll get to it in due time.)

This was to AnonymousGhost.

In other news, I didn't like BJs' entrance. The post was fine, I laughed, but seems like it was prepared before the game started. My problema with that is that it was a huge post and it's obvious that took a lot of effort. I tend to scumread people who puts that much of an effort on RVS; preparing a post before the game starts is past that line. Does someone else has another point of view about this?
Wouldn't it make more sense to call Gamma out for the RQS post for being pretty big and before the game even started? He put more effort in, IMO.
Ooh I love this nugget.

There's also the RC stuff, too, but this is not the way that a scumteam spearheaded by RC would lynch someone suspicious of him so I'm disregarding that. (Mind you--that doesn't mean "RC is not scum"; it means "RC did not spearhead the lynch of that player for being suspicious of him". Which reduces his odds of being scum, but does not in any way eliminate them altogether.)

Also, shouldn't we be careful about who we vote? Because if scum is well coordinated, then after we vote, they could just pile on all 4 as 4 more votes.

✓ Statement meant to look townish;
✓ Statement not actually helpful.
However, she didn't change votes or got much interested on MEME MAN even though his posts seems way worse than Gamma's I would say (we can argue about that), and the same can be said to Keyser maybe.[/quote]Jesus Christ this is probably one of the best D1 opening posts of all time and singlehandedly would justify the nightkill if I am even remotely right on my reads.

I don't need all four to be right.
I don't even need all three of the big ones to be right!

If so much as 2/3 of Gamma/Meme/Aster are scum, this post alone would explain the nightkill.
