literally 'there must have been scum on that wagon' and post game we were all like 'omg yeah that was an all town wagon'

why do u consistently act scummy and then come up with gems like this that give me pause.
kobba did you give npow towncredit for this post or was this sarcasm?

Considering I am now down to a poe of Aldus, Andres, NPOM and Koba the current situation is a bit curious. It can't be that easy with finding the townie in them with literally three of these piling up on Andres?
I am pretty torn here, because the only things that I find remarkable scummy about Andres are two posts/lines from D2 where he doubled down on the bob push like it seemed he wanted to get that one through, no matter what. Have to look who were the counterwagon at that time (NPOM or Aldus). Otherwise it was noticeable that he allies up with one certain player on any major pushes (Baltar, Koba, in a way bob today), however this can as well just be the way he plays when he trusts a townread well enough (plus he usually has enough to back his pushes up by himself, so no sheeping).
I don't know if I am falling for some pocketing here though, because I feel he isn't playing optimally as scum here with cutting down his poe to three people and coming out with a strong townread on me and also putting Ico in the townbin as once the townie in his 3p poe gets eliminated he is in an awkward position in elo. Scum have to keep their poe wide enough open.
I believe the townie in my poe is among Andres/NPOM (even although the latter never got ran up that hard, he is always constantly suspected by almost everyone), intuitively I am thinking that Aldus might be the best shot today. Need to finally reread all their interactions tonight to judge properly here.

Also with hellbooks being conftown Ico is imo completely out of my poe for good (she was kind of an allrounder).
Ico/Koba interactions simply don't look like SvS, especially right after Koba joined the game.
Ico/NPOM is way too pedantic and I think Ico was running almost out of patience at some point, I seriously doubt they would go that far for SvS interactions.
Ico/Andres is admittedly more difficult, because it got never as heated as in comparision to the other two. Could be SvS, but Andres put a lot of effort into that push back then and his posts had this mocking, sarcastic tone that you have when you are absolutely convinced that you are on the right track with seeing your opponent flail. Felt at least pretty real to me, so probably no SvS either and maybe indicating Andres as town.
Ico only works with Aldus, but that would still lack the third one. Can only see Andres as fitting at most and I am rather doubting it. If Aldus is town I can't see Ico being scum with two of these three above as this would mean Ico would have spent a good part of D1 with fighting his own team. So into the townbin with Ico, cap on it and nailing it down.

I think any of my personal goodwill towards the latter two has largely evaporated but I think I would be considering them as scum individually

You're actually all masons and we only win this by choosing not to eliminate someone. Check your role PM again.

In post 2531, Datisi wrote:i think scum PT cop could fit, but in that case there is more town power (3masons v 3goons is considered slightly scumsided in a closed game, that + scum PT cop wouldn't pass review), which is why i'm saying, if you're town and not a VT, you should probably say something.
do not claim we do not need to confirm vp right now he can just simply give us Results if he is alive
(surely the time to say this has already passed but)
In post 2541, Andresvmb wrote:Hellbooks as a check makes a lot of sense. If I had been a PT Cop, I probably check there too. So I was expecting you to either come out and say that you had checked Datisi (since you had revealed a positive, which would have made you Scum in my eyes), or come out with an actual positive (Town).
yeah I suppose with the knowledge of a PT cop i ought to have like, attempted to make myself less checkable

@Ico, Datisi, hellbrooks - my instincts say there is a non-zero chance scum have left the door open to bus today. The PoE is very tight and I think if they want to win this, SOMEONE is going to need some hard town cred to generate enough WIFOM that it carries them through.
Obviously the scum ideal here is another miselim, but the odds on that are much smaller than they were on previous days. For example, rereading the Andres/NPOM exchange is looking like possible theater to me.
I think we just need to align the block of dats/hellbrooks/Ico/VP and then we are basically golden and can't be influenced by the PoE pool.

In post 2553, Andresvmb wrote:Yo, how many times do I have to explain the same thing over and over? DkKoba did a tremendous job of making me doubt my early TR of Testarossa. I’m concluding that DkKoba is Scum, so Testa is Town. Testa, via wagon analysis, concluded Bob was Town and did not want to push that. Testa has the same POE as I do... all in all, Testa is very likely Town from where I sit.
I would say that someone having the same POE as you is not something to give townpoints over
there will certainly be scum positioned off the bob wagon
I think testa is strongly in my poe so would like to talk to you about this
i will say to me, iirc, it's less likely koba and testa are scum together than it is koba and npom honestly

how sure are you in town!ico?
Definitely not certain, but I think out of the PoE, they are the person I'd be least likely to want to elim today. It's a fair point though. I could be wrong there and that might flub that entire bloc.
