I'm in the group that says that Flavor Leaf's mason buddy needs to claim. On the re-read it just feels like his town & scum read on me & JarJarDrinks keeps flipping depending on whoever is attacking him. There is something manipulative in his play and he's trying to hide it with smoke and mirrors. Like his explanation of his reaction to Golden Robster is all WIFOM. He's basically arguing that there's no excuse for scum to play/react badly. Well of course not. But we catch scum when they do play/react badly. Except when we get placated by WIFOM reasoning.
If his partner is in my town or weaktown list, then I'm happy with three solid town reads to help with POE.
so town

Sure there is. If he's scum, we force one of his buddies to commit to a mason claim today. They may be more hesitant to do it today because if one of them gets lynched/vigged/tracked/etc... then it leads right to the other player.
As we get closer to lylo, a scum buddy would be more likely to fakeclaim knowing that they only need 1 or 2 mislynches to win the game.
Forcing people to commit early means they are more likely to get caught. The more time that goes by, the easier it is for them to tell a lie to fit their narrative.

Terrible logic. I'm tired of explaining basic mafia principles to people.
The town is on a clock in mafia. They only have X amount of mislynches before they lose. Scum just needs to stall long enough to run out that clock. Everytime town mislynches they move closer to that clock running out.
So who cares is we "eventually" will figure it out? Scum doesnt need all their members to survive to endgame in order to win.
THERE IS ZERO BENEFIT TO NOT FORCING THE MASON CLAIM TODAY.

VOTE: FL
I like KK based on his overall reads...mostly where I'm leaning. 2nd Mason should claim or FL should get lynched. If 2nd Mason claims, Mylo needs to go.
3 days left so you all on vanities need to actually do something productive with your vote.

I guess I could VOTE: PP because OMGUS and they haven't really done anything to town read them on.
He hadn't mentioned Mylo since his vote for him in 1947 - 470 posts earlier. Mylo dropped a vote there when asked for a vote and came up with some weak reasoning, didn't even really try to back it up. So, it looked like he was opportunistically throwing a vote on someone who had literally just said they wouldn't be around to defend themselves and using OMGUS and vague "I don't see any reason for them to be town so they must be scum" as an excuse.
Mylo has specifically chosen PP because he knew PP wouldn't be able to defend themselves against opportunistic vote with no reasoning? Is that what you are saying here?

If second mason claims,
I will hard defend Mylo, because Mylo is obv town.
If a second mason claims, I’m coming after Penguin or Wheme.
Hell, I’m coming after them anyways.
VOTE: PenguinPower
You scum claimed in that last post. Coming from the KK wagon (which I have posted my doubts about in my mason thread), votes me and tries to out the other mason, and then says if a second mason claims, we go on Mylo.
We should never go Mylo specifically because of that.
There is zero town motivation in a second mason claiming and then just accepting it after that.
@Penguin - you say if it was anyone else, you’d agree, then why isn’t JJD and Lalendra scummy to you? Those aren’t the reasons they are doing it.
If my second mason claims, they essentially become tonight’s night kill.

Sigh. Flavor Leaf is not a mason. It seems unlikely that the game contains masons AND neighbors, possibly but unlikely. It's not possible that FL's first claim is his true role. Just go look at his meta. He makes many claims during a game and I don't think the first one has ever been true. I've never understood the motivation for doing this, but I don't think it necessarily means he's scum.
Got any reads? How about an opinion on the mason thing?
i'm on page 102, i'll get there eventually

There was zero town motivation in you claiming Mason with 2 votes on you.
I said if it was anyone else but you making the Mason claim, I would say to leave you alone. But, you are very good at gambiting as scum, so I want some confirmation before I let me paranoid go.

@KK - my mason partner is in your weak town/town pile.
Like honestly, you guys aren’t fucking me over by doing this, you’re fucking over my partner.

I had Ausuka/JJD/Wheme/Lalendra/KK votes implied, and there were 3 on the time, and it was going to grow.
There’s also zero motivation as scum to claim mason there.
The reverse is just as true, if not more true than what you are saying

It’s already INCREDIBLY obvious who my partner is, look at the crumbs, look at the reactions, and move on.

There is zero chance there isn’t at least 2 scum in
JJD, Golden Rob, PP, Lalendra, Wave, Wheme, and I will power lynch my way through after the mason claim comes through.
Hint, I will not be going after JJD or Wave.

First one’s been true a bunch of times. Sometimes I change it and he second or third ones aren’t true. But the first ones have been true a bunch of times.
Also been through games with being the only one who hadn’t claimed.
I play every game in the moment. :shrug: it gets results.
Everytime you’ve been scum in a game with me Texcat, I caught you out.
