Exactly. It's just bad scum play. The one person who kept talking about a supposed vig was probably more afraid of that than you. I thought Math was tossing around vig just to create a muddle, but it looks to me like he probably actually believed it and thought it was xlos when with all the power that's been shown a vig would just break the game. Especially after you claimed multi shot.
It's not bad scum play. DGB gets no extra result tonight and keeping it alive means paranoia around it. It's lylo regardless. Meanwhile Xlos was never getting voted out today, even if it was lylo.
It’s posts like this that make me wonder if Titus is scum.
She’s better at mech reasoning as town.
Assume DGB is town and shot.
Then Xlos is in the game as confirmed town (because let’s be real godfather while possible is not probable)
When confirmed town is in the game scum cannot manipulate elo and it’s out of their hands.
Xlos had to be the kill if DGB is town to keep elo flexibility and Xlos has to be the kill to protect DGB if it is scum.
Xlos was pretty much good as flipped soon as A50 hammered unless scum which then is an easy solve between DGB and Xlos.
Pedit: Kinda sure we have to hit scum here Titus. Not sure what sitting on where you think I am wrong helps if you’re town.
In post 1541, Titus wrote:I'm not voting Math unless it gets to 3p lylo.
I'm not inclined to vote DGB.
That leaves Wheme or Galron.
This is an AND.
I am town. If you say you’re not voting me (which the only reason not to vote me is that I am town if you think I am scum you vote me). If you are “not inclined” to vote DGB means you’re townreading it.
If you don’t think it’s Wheme and Galron then you’re not actually positing anything useful and this is hot air or DGB is your buddy.
No. It's an OR. I am still considering DGB scum as a possibility. However, if DGB is scum, it locks itself into a bad position in elo tomorrow. So I'm not inclined to eliminate there.
That leaves Wheme or Galron as the places I'm inclined to vote today. I have a strong preference for one over the other, but I am sitting on that.

I have no way to answer this, but read my posts carefully. Suppose I am right about why everyone has died. Suppose you're wrong about why T3 died. Come up with a nonmech reason.
If you see that reason, you should know why I am sitting on it and the end game.

I did a skim and it’s late so the only non mech related reason I can think of is reads.
But if it’s reads then why wait?
I am just going to bed and will reread T3’s ISO with clean mind.

Because I want to hear in depth reasoning for whom DGB and Wheme want to flip.
I feel that's essential to check before I crack the game open.

Actually, I did check my work and I'm revising my Math read to not voting him today.
I have the move that I intend to make in mind today. This game gets easier if scum do not bus.

T3 pretty much screamed “I am the fuckin” rolecop in his intro and then claimed flavor so….?
To me those are just like duh kills and aren’t player indicative. It makes me think scum weren’t suspected D1/D2 but that’s just gut.
Who do you think is scum?
If T3 was killed for the reason you say (which I doubt), DGB and I don't make that kill. T3 is a known liar about his claims, to the point of gamewrecking. DGB and I would never take his rolecop claim at face value.
We literally just finished a game where T3 claimed informed miller d1. His knowledge was that a two shot cop existed. It didn't. Town flipped T3. He was a VT.
If you are correct, the scumteam must be Galron and Wheme.

In fact it had been less than 24 hours from that flip to T3's claim here.

Where in here is it implied that's why I originally voted you?
I voted you because your first statement sounded like you were trying to make fake content. If you weren't I think you were more likely to explain the reasoning for your claim. The fact that you didn't bother to check if umlaut had posted anything while trying make it seem like your reads were based on content when referring to nom made it worse.
In post 213, MURDERCAT wrote:There is no way this wagon on me is real, these votes are awful and trying to run me up to a claim is terrible
My guess is that based on Murdercat's ISO Murdercat slipped he was a PR of some kind. VT's don't heavily worry about being put to a claim at L -1. My guess is that scum though to kill him soon as 213 dropped.
In post 450, Flea The Magician wrote:Well I honestly hope you're eliminated because I don't think you're town, your reason was just sooo baaaad.
Contrast this with Flea's response. It's a generic "your reason was just soooo bad". It doesn't have a fear of PR at all in it.

In post 69, T3 wrote:By the way, anyone who claims a type of Modified Rolecop is confirmed town. This information I have from somewhere that I will not elaborate on furter.
This is a common way PRs claim or maybe just common for me.
I do something like “I am pretty sure a (PR here) would do (some action I did)”
Or I have a really strong gut that blah would be checked.
This way I can steer town in the right direction without claiming.
Scum team knew Nom was Derivative and when T3 claimed Second Derivative or Second Derivative Test it’s likely that they went hey Nom is our/a cop and T3 claimed Second Derivative so probably rolecop when combined together. I think T3 probably died because of role but it’s possible for a reads reason maybe but role to me makes more sense

So if you and DGB are scum then you’d have probably killed him for reads? Like I am not looking at another game at midnight to be fair so just going to take it on your word. Did T3 give a reason for lying?

Yes. T3 claimed to be pulling a gambit. He was hoping scum would claim the two shot cop. No one claimed it D3 so T3 got eliminated.
Catching up.
Mcs response to A50 gut pinged me the same way and I think Titus gets townpoints for this. VOTE: MURDERCATpedit: Hammer?

While T3 had some suspicions of us, T3 was not killed for his reads if DGB and I were scum. He ended at DGB town and him thinking town on me with no confidence. That doesn't make sense for a DGB + Titus team to kill T3 for his reads, unless my theory of why T3 was killed was accurate? In that case, why would I suggest an answer that implicitly clears someone in the pool?

Not sure why you think T3 was killed except reads, but killing someone who townreads you incorrectly can solidify it.
“For reads” really should have been “for gamestate manipulation” which is about leaving the best impression.
I don’t see how that clears anyone or supports anyone as “for reads/gamestate manipulation” can mean anyone is scum.
If we ignore that Murdercat was likely killed for PR then say for reads and look at the last few posts
DGB scum kills Murdercat to make others look scummy so it has time to execute its gambit.
Slimer (my slot) kills Murdercat because suspected. (Not scum here just devils advocate)
It becomes meaningless unless you can get inside how player X plays scum and why they do kills.
That’s why the kills don’t make sense to me especially Jake.
I can’t tie a consistent narrative from endgame to beginning for anyone but teams are more likely if it’s not reads related reasons.
So it’s more likely not reads related reasons.
No. No. Fuck that. I'm not taking your shit right now. You don't get to decide ifbother people are being genuine or not.
If you assume scum were always killing because of suspicion then DGB is scum here.
Then you get DGB with me(incorrectly) or Galron
Which would make Murdercat’s reads mostly wrong which defeats the Murdercat was killed for reads argument unless frame job.
So like some players have to be killed for not reads reasons

I can and I have established such a theory. I want to hear from Wheme and DGB but I know who I am voting today.
If T3 was killed "for gamestate manipulation" then why didn't a scum!DGB rely on T3 townreading it? In fact, no one has gone through and tried to determine why each slot was killed but for me (and you possibly in one post where you talk about murdercat). No one has really commented on the reads of the dead.
You can absolutely work backwards and from a common theme. This is what profilers do. Each kill individually can be argued away, but the lot of them largely being killed for the same reason cannot. It might even hold for Xlos but I'm not certain there because Xlos might just be an lol obvious kill. I haven't looked at who he suspected.
No. No. Fuck that. I'm not taking your shit right now. You don't get to decide ifbother people are being genuine or not.

Jake the Wolfie was killed for his townread actions not his scumread actions. A50 was a foregone miselimination. Jake was killed due to his resistance to that, not because he suspected DGB at some point.

Now the worst case is a bit better. But that's the extent of my confidence on him, we shall see if I am terrible town or good town soon (probably). VOTE: Almost50
If this works out we confirm Wheme which puts us in a winning position since I think me, DGB, and Galron are already almost certainly town.
pedit: Hmm turns out you can move your vote onto people by wishing them harm (Titus is on Wheme in the votecount)
Looking forward to hearing your theory.
The last reads Xlos gave was before A50’s flip.
Xlos thought DGB+Galron are town and Wheme /A50 lock scum.
If we keep that opinion then Xlos would think all scum in you, me, Wheme.
Going to assume you’re not scum claiming so any theory you propose that’s reads based is Me+Wheme
Which then goes against Murdercat so like

If the goal was to shoot based on DGB suspicion, you would have taken the bullet instead of A50 given you're more vocal and no one was listening to Jake.
