We actually can get to that without wasting an investigation on two likely town. Today we should use today for three new people. That's because today is the last day for an autowin if we catch in three.
Yes, but if we check outside again today we’re getting dangerous in the territory of narrowing down the TD
We can check three new people because a lot of you have spewed not!TD.

You sound like you’re implying that you think I’ve spewed not!TD

I don’t think I’ve said anything that would imply whether or not I’m the TD

I'm feeling too lazy to do a lot right now, at some point I'll reread D1 and notscience ISO to comb for partners

right now the big movement reads are Umlaut ++more likely town, Maxwell --scummier and worth revisiting - I feel like his analysis to clear Umlaut as town yesterday may have been from the perspective of scum expecting a NS red flip - I feel like he would've been more likely to see where I was coming from re:Umlaut if he had been more open to a town!notscience possibility. Also at the very beginning of D2 he wanted Moment over Notsci.

Alisae scumreads make sense to me as well.

I also agree I'd rather check Datisi/Moment again to clear them rather than open a new pool for today. I think we can consider the new pool on D4 if we're struggling but Datisi/Moment are spewed not-TD yet also not conftown so it's better IMO to clear them and make sure we aren't screwed on the off chance of the double guilty as Menalque said

Maxwell scum was an angle that I'm almost ashamed to admit that I hadn't really given proper consideration until you just said that.

I'd like to see more from Hel today.

NS literally not even trying yesterday makes me wonder if there was a reason behind it. (Maybe 2 scum in the initial investigation pool like people theorize) or he just gave up. I’m not sure yet but i find it weird.

Scum was probably hard bussing them based on their apathy so i wouldn’t clear anyone based on how strongly they were pushing for their elimination yesterday.

Looking at this and Username’s push yesterday it just confirms to me that Username is obvtown and should never be a lynch/investigation.

I don't think this connection between apathy and being hard bussed is a good one.

The most sensical reason for notscience to have said nothing yesterday is because he—and perhaps the rest of his team—realized that he was certain to die over the rest of the people in the investigation pool, and thus he minimized the amount of associative information left for town after his death.

I would go further as to say that if Datisi
were
to be scum, notscience certainly would
not
have played the way he did yesterday. If Datisi were to be scum I imagine that notscience would have pushed much harder for his lynch, or just in general have attempted to live much more. If you'll allow me a bit of a tangential metaphor, anyone with enough familiarity with puzzles can tell you that there's a natural tendency to discard puzzle pieces from your mind after they've been used once, even if there's no reason that that should necessarily be the case. What I'm trying to say is that I think that people would naturally assume only one scum in the pool, and I think that this assumption would only be furthered if notscience were to attempt to live much more strongly, and thus it would benefit him as scum to do so if Datisi were scum.

This might seem like WIFOM, but I don't think that it is. Basically, my point is that notscience as scum benefits from staying silent yesterday no matter what, but he also could've potentially benefited his team more by attempting to live
if
Datisi were scum, or from an outsider's perspective if one of me or Datisi were scum. Crossbussing has a tendency to throw people off.



Of course, this might mean less coming from me, but I always like to imagine that what I say makes sense even detached from myself as the one saying it.

That post is a lot less coherent than I would prefer, but they can't all be winners. I think I got my general point across.

Yes, but i’ve gotten experience in cross-bussing nomination tactics. In a game called nomination mafia my team nominated all three of us on D1. And most of the players stood silent and didn’t do much to make it convincing.
I realize you might be right but i’m paranoid.

NK15 seems very town as well from what i’ve read in Not Science’s ISO.

Also realized i reverted to my shortening of Not Science’s name. It was not on purpose. Sorry.

Titus, give me some of that sweet VCA.
Where do you think scum would be based on that vote spread?

I admit, my read on notscience has been bad pretty much all game and I'm a little bit embarrassed by it. I got an idea in my head going into day 2 and wanted to be the smart, different one. I definitely shouldn't be above suspicion. The one thing I will push back on was that when I cleared Umlaut, it was
eminently obvious
to anyone paying attention at that point that notscience was flipping red - he didn't bother to defend himself or contribute anything. He just rolled over and died in a way no town does in that position. It's why I stopped advocating a safety check

It's really puzzling. I'm at a loss for it. I think the likely explanation is the opposite, though? If there's 2 scum in that group, I would expect them to go at each other as viciously as possible, to force split opinions, then the people who were off the wagon likely get copped and people think the one who survives is town. It seemed like he knew most town players were going to be on him and didn't try so as to minimize any sort of partner spew (and to that extent, it's worked pretty well).

I don't have anything of real substance to post tonight, we have 2 scum in 11 uncleared, I think we just form a confident townbloc and check or execute everyone outside of that. Will to look at that tomorrow.

Votes mean basically nothing when we all had to play Follow the Clear - you're better off looking at the organic wagons that formed prior to that. That's why so much of my emphasis in what I was looking at yesterday was on who went after notscience early - in that situation there's much, much less incentive to bus.

today i told some idiot covid-denier on facebook to go stick rusty hooks under his fingernails

My preferred investigation is the same as it was yesterday. Moment/Datisi/NK15.

All three are known to not be TD, and I still REALLY think NK15 needs to be checked especially, but clearing out Moment/Datisi is also a very good thing to do.


As for execution....... I don't know yet. I was expecting at least one of Norwee or SS to be scum at the end of the day there.
