Judging by the size and extent of that post Cape just made, it seems clear to me he started writing that response about at that point knowing I was going to come out of the gates at him today. The fact there is no vote there on a giant wall case makes no sense.
I mean, if you think that you clearly aren't looking at my fucking wall post
I have not fully read and checked all your links, no. That will take me some time and I'm at work currently.

honestly, its just a little comical to me at this point. "Nero was pushing Wu and then didn't think that Wu had to be scum. He's so scummy!" like, are these real thoughts?

How long do you think it took Cape to write that and link all those posts? Two hours? You think he just did that on the fly in response to the most I made this morning just a couple hours ago? I'd say that's very unlikely.
What is more likely is he started last night when I posted in our hood and has been honing it with his scum buddies to reply today. He wasn't expecting me to come after him, probably content to let me and Nero fight it out if Nero is town. Cape knew he was going to have to respond with an overwhelming show of effort to sway town to his side. That's fine. I'll let the record speak for itself when I quote you Cape's viewpoint on Wu yesterday. Standby.
I don't see any reason he can't have written it overnight. No one was going to nightkill him after he hammered.
It doesn't read to me like it was "honed with any scumbuddies." The middle of it is actually pretty poorly written and impossible to follow, so I doubt anyone else looked at it.

as a word of advice
this only confirms the fact to me that one of you is mafia and you are probably not both town
Why cant they both be town?
I think Scorpius' response here looks like it should be the brightest red light to VP if VP is town.
If VP is town, with Scorpius, I literally failed and did all that work for nothing. Also Scorpius literally put more effort in their meme response thing then the entire game itself. But I think if VP is mafia, it spews Scorpius as town.
So on why they can't both be town... it's because I believe it I am good at reads as town when I put in the effort, and I am going to actually cry if either of these funny guys are town. VP appears as if they are huge flailing right now so if they are town, not sure how much playing of mafia since 2008 has helped him, like come on, I was a literal child back then, I think VP should be better then they are playing right now and is playing the classic aggro mafia.

Here is Cape's full progression on Wu.
Has him as a light town read early on. Defends him a bit. Says he's been a nonpresence. Then votes him and gives three posts of reasoning why.
Like, I would totally buy "eh, I just wanted to end the day." The over explanation of the vote stinks. The progression of the read stinks. The not asking for a claim before hammering in a day when PRs got run up stinks.
Cape can go on and on about "VP is mean and has an agenda", but the facts are in Cape's posts and vote. That has nothing to do about agenda and if he was town, he'd spend his time explaining his thought process and reasoning rather than trying to shade me and act like he's a victim.

It could’ve taken him at least an hour, looking at the time stamps. I don’t think it’s impossible he did that. “On the fly” is a misrep, however.

This is a weird post. You, among a number of other people, were keen for turn one to be over and for us to get the game moving. Wu had been given plenty of time to claim and should've known writing was on the wall. Players suddenly being so reticent about the elimination they were pushing, or complaining about an elimination in general when they were willing for the turn to end, is not particularly good.

Okay, vote out the claimed vigilante who received no CC and wasn’t shot last night who also immediately received suspicion because there was no shot.
The lack of a counter claim is probably the strongest reason to give fua another day maybe. IDK, I really hate that they didn't claim the target and I think Datisi makes some OK arguments around scum motivation for that.

I think a lot of Cape's reasoning in their post on the previous page is solid to be honest. Articulates the inconsistency and incoherence of the whole Wu/Nero/VP better than I could.

I think Cape’s reaction today has been pretty annoying but townie. And I independently TR’d VP, also his reactions are what I’d expect as well. And we also vibe on a lot of sentiments but at the end of the road we look for different things as specific alignment tells. I don’t think I explained that very well but that roughly encapsulates where I am on him. There’s very little reason for me to think Baltar is scum, at least.
Fua v skitter
Cape v Baltar
Nero
All these slot seem like town to me. I would like to push outside of these 5 today.

Earlier in the game you were keen to get a wagon going on Datisi. You were then fine to jump on the Wu bandwagon to, again, help keep the game moving. If you didn't want the turn to end then I apologise for reading you wrong, but the impression I've very much gotten is you were fine for us to push ahead with an elimination.

Large games should consolidate D1 as fast as possible or we will end up at 100+ pages for D1 and that's just annoying later in the game.
THIS right here is why my sequence on Datisi was not wrong. We need to get things moving and start pushing in this kind of game since opinions will be far more fragmented. The probability that close to half the people in this game have the same top scumread is far lower than in a smaller game. That means we need to compromise and not always vote our top scumread at any given point. We don't want to dilly dally the whole day and scramble with no info at the end. I am saying this now so that we do not get caught in problems down the line. Just to put my money where my mouth is, I will
VOTE: humaneatingmonkey, even though my last impression of him is light town (although I feel more nullish on him anyway).
Yes, Aristeia's townread on Datisi gives me some pause on him being scum. No, that doesn't mean I still don't want more pressure on him and to run him up. If people want to start voting Datisi again I will gladly switch back. And me pointing out that I didn't think many people at the time had a favorable opinion on him.
I haven't fully caught up (nor do I intend to in such a large game) but it seems things have changed. It is concerning that people are using my recent activity to discredit the townie vibes that I gave earlier. It is possible that this is scum motivated to keep the PoE wider, but it seems more likely to me that this is just poor activity logic.
Here is a point on day one when both Yeet/VP argue for pushing the game forward to the point where they'd basically be keen for an elimination so the thread doesn't get too clogged. But now Cape is suspicious for hammering someone they were largely fine to eliminate all along.
Also of course this has Yeet voting for a now night-eliminated mason even though they didn't really believe they were mafia at the time. Hardly the approach of players fine for a round to drag out to be ultra-careful and not end up forcing a role reveal.
Increasingly don't think there's any reason the two players here can't be mafia together.
