I just don't think fire is scum at all, so that explanation isn't one that's going to appeal to me.

We did the "no biggie if we're wrong" wagon yesterday. Now we need to be right.
From this POV I don't think your STD vote makes much sense. Like they could be mafia, but they've posted so little that you nor any of us don't have much to go on there beyond a vibe. That's a pretty big day two risk, no?

I want them to feel some pressure to contribute and I want to know why others are focusing on the other lurkers instead. I didn't think it was very likely my vote would result in an elim.

If so I'm leaning towards the latter here. I get Fire could be playing a very strong mafia game but they've come across townie as feck to me. And while I can see a vig having a genius call and catching a good player out, Fua's game was a bit all over the place...a Fire kill just seems so baffling from that POV.
There are a lot more possibilities than you have just listed. Fua was not clear about who they would shoot. There's also a possibility of a mafia doctor or BP, although I would rate that as unlikely.
Cool, just trying to gauge. From a vig POV I personally feel like Fire was such a bad choice unless Enchant's slot instinctually had it right.

I can't rate if this was bad choice, nor do i care.

Well, I am actually scumhunting and asking questions to determine people's alignments. Big agenda energy.

What are you doing btw? Didn't you vote dragons? Is that fundamentally different from a Scorp wagon?

Agree with you on this. Fine with tenebros sitting a vote on STD now to put on some pressure, but it's ultimately going for an incredibly low activity poster and the moment you vote for someone you ideally want to convince others to do the same. If not you aren't even putting any pressure on said player. Weird contradiction in tenebros' play.

Right, what I'm saying is that should have been easy to spot at even a passing glimpse. You saw the vote count but didn't see any of the 7 votes that happened shortly after it?

I saw some of them but I really didn't think it shifted that much

if they are town then they probably just had a read and knew enough people townread me that i wasn't likely to get elimmed so they took a chance with a potential high payoff. I can see it making sense, they'd been saying i looked scummy to them most of the day.

but as others said, they did not say for sure who the kill would be on, they just had a list. and maf could have roleblocked regardless. i think there is some chance they're lying but those aren't the only two options at all

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:48 am**

ok, my bitch ass laptop decided to not connect to the internet so phoneskimming time

looking at scorp's iso in isolation (lol), definitely a scum contender. this dude has done jack shit all game. i think the tell i made on him on d1, that he's not even TRYING to appear townie, is valid, but not insanely so as he was aware that refuge in audacity is a possible defense.

i can def see scorp being scum *if* the rest of his team in a pretty good position. because i think scum is more likely to be lazy if the game seems to be going fine, or if it seems like their partners have it together. (thought goes to umlaut in that one mini normal where he started being lazy when mathblade replaced into his team)

as said, if he'd scum, i think we're lowkey fucked since that prob means there's some deepwolves or powerwolves or whatever. i think nero is a strong contender should scorp flip red; other than fitting with my bullshit gamestate reads, i think he also tried to make an eyes wagon a thing when math was trying to wagon scorp?

also, the fact that (1) there is absolutely nothing townie about scorp (2) there's still practically no wagon on him despite that and despite a MASON pushing him makes me feel like the game isn't a fan of his wagon (though i'd have to run another check to see if anyone was actually properly pulling away from him)

so, like, in total? 6.5/10, my gamestate reads aren't always great, but i would not mind a wagon here

if you want you can give a quick answer to questions i posed in 2695 but i don't think it's something that really needs to be solved right away

Hmm, alright. I'll think about this. I am assuming you are saying you only saw the Math and fua votes just before yours?

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:49 am**

so like, i want to kill enchant because i don't think fua's entrance sjows an uninformed mindset but i will vote scorp if i feel like it

10 minutes of brainpower left btw, what else can i do

There is a hood of: Nero, skitter, Cap90, VP.

There's a lot of useless posting in this game (maybe even some from me in the last few pages while I was catching up, sorry all!)
Understood.

In post 2693, fireisredsir wrote:2) if that list is all town, would maf team still roleblock them? not sure on this one, that's why I'm asking the crowd

the answer to this is a very loud YES

even if the vig shot hits town, (1) it hits town that was scummy and was likely to be able to be pushed during the day and waste everyone's time (2) it confirms the vigilante as conftown (3) another extra death or a save grants the town an extra yeet

like, any scumteam with a basic understanding of game mechanics absolutely blocks a vigilante

the only way a vig shot isn't +town is if the vig hits someone like an ic (i did that as a vig once lmao) which is decently unlikely to happen

Any reason we shouldn’t turbo elim you on policy?

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:53 am**

ok ty good to know. still think their reaction was not how i would think town would react

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:54 am**

I think a Scorpio wagon should be a thing.

I remembered why not VP turbo elim.

Nero pushed me to talk about reads. I told him I'm not doing that in a hood with a potential scum, and that it was kinda antitown to push it repeatedly.

That was all.

I doubt the hood is gonna get used much until we descum it

oh yeah, this discussion was A Thing

my unsolicited opinion is that pushing for reads in a hood where you suspect there might be scum is indeed antitown because scum don't need that info, same as outing new reads in twilight

I have seen it rarely too lazy to look it up

Most people just do it intro first posts though.

See Mastina wiki regarding miller

actually on that train of thought

do you think vp has been quiet on his reads? if not, then this shade feels... misplaced
