I mean I never suggest cop claiming because 2/3 cop situations include a scum roleblocker

Yes the tracker's ability is neutralized by being jailkept but there's no guarantee the tracker's results would be helpful whereas there is a guarantee that having a confirmed town player who won't die would be helpful

It's not a perfect strategy by any means

xander, what do you think of nexus?

wait I'm voting xander when did that happen

oh yeah I thought I had some interesting bayesian ideas

let's actually go here VOTE: nexus

I dont mind some pressure there. I'll even do it in few words.

VOTE: Nexus

P.S.: I hate the mechanics discussion, but Elephant accurately described it. The "knowntown" benefit of it is a plus, but also not a lock, because Scum know whether we are in column C, and could take the 66% chance theres only one power role to fakeclaim tracker and coast. On balance, Id really rather there not be a claim today and that we focus on sorting slots.

(@Plat when you do come back, I do want to hear your reaction to all that has gone on since Sunday).

zzz

I don't make long wall posts as town or scum. I don't see the point. I've given my thoughts, and I want to wait to see what the people who I have said are scum say.

I don’t need a long post I just need some more thoughts on the players. Even just some minimal explanation for why you think some players are scum or town

Invisibility is active, taking an interest and making comments similar to ones I would make. So therefore I think they are as town as I am.

Xander seems like an active enthusiastic town!newbie.

I like stungun, he is backing up his points of view and has good points.

You and the other wordy guy seem town enough from activity and ideas. I may reassess this depending on how the game goes.

Hmmm those are good reads

I guess now I’m just nervous you’re scumreading plat and Espeonage to keep eyes off you

Isolato I think you’re probably town, who do you think is scum?

Hmm. I like that you indicated townreads/leans on several players when facing the heat. Seems good enough for a townlean on you, in essence, but the only thing that limits this is that you simultaneously don’t really stir anyone’s pot—so therefore while it’s a kind of statement that leads to a townlean, it’s not quite ‘town’ against attack.

So town: teacher, invisibility, irrelephant
townlean: nexus, xander
null: isolato
nullscum: espeonage
clear scum lean: platfleece

VOTE: platfleece

definitely comfortable with making this the lead wagon, and putting this back at L-2.

Why did platfleece go silent all of a sudden?

It's a thursday, I'll be around later.

Got the prod. I'm currently in the middle of packing for a Saturday flight which will leave me V/LA until Sunday, but I'll catch up in a bit. I'll need to provide my thoughts on Teacher's long wall text.

Before that though, I do wanna respond to Irrelephant's first post that I read just before Teach's long post. Note: I have not read the thread past Teacher's big post on his vote on me so if the tide has changed since then it'll be reflected later today.

@Irrelephant:
You wondered why I thought you scumread Teacher. I explained before too that your hypothetical scumpool was what lead me to believe it, but I had missed the last part of your post somehow that said you had no reads on teacher. I even mentioned it when I said "whoops" in my post to show that. Actual mistake on my part.

I'll get back to responding in a bit later.

This game is seriously driving me bonkers with the lurking. Isolato dropped his prod, ESP is prodging, and nexus isnt doing much more.

@Xander - I found the last sentence of 188 interesting -- that you "agree with me" that Plat is still likely town -- compared against 105, , 154, that they were your strongest suspect. What changed between those posts for you? And you missed my other questions in 191, regarding your strongest scumread and your read of ESP.

@Esp: All game youve denied having scumreads. But youre going to have to lynch someone. Who is your compromise pool and why?

@Nexus - you made your pool pretty plain. What about Xander makes him Town! as opposed to simply active -- what did you find alignment indicative?

@Elephant - same to you, you strongly towned Xander in 181. Im inclined that way, but much weaker. What makes it so good for you?

I would go back to Plat, but dont want to L-1 before the promised post. If its not up by tomorrow morning, Ill go there.

the empty commas in 217's Xander question were supposed to link to 140

I've said that I only see a scum Xander with someone else new to the game - none of my scumreads qualify to be his partner, so that's a big reason I'm townreading him for now

His scumread moments of you were also insightful

Xander just seems like he's sorting, too. But this is one read I'll re-evaluate for sure if we mislynch, it's not the strongest

I don't know why but I'm scumreading this

i literally didn't sleep at all last night so lol
i'll try to make more posts about more thing but its kind of hard when you are sleep deprived
anyway at @Irrelephant why would my vote be bad if it was the third vote?

It turns two people voting someone for their own reasons into a wagon, and you didn't give reasons. I wanted to point out that it was bad to see if you would react poorly, or simply state that it was to form a wagon. If it's just the second vote, though, it doesn't seem like an opportunistic push, just a vote.

oh ok
the vote was to create a wagon because the reasons that somebody provided i cant remember seemed legit
