For my suspect list, my suspects are Fart Bane and Notscience.

Your last post before this, Post 243, is all about casting suspicion on Notscience. Now your focus is on Notscience again. Yet you stick to your Bane vote. Aka your 'let's get this game going' vote. Very scummy.

The reason I didn't change my vote is because it would make the entire situation more volatile, with the 3 people who aren't on notscience's townbloc putting him at L-1. I felt that the situation would only escalate further, resulting in either the townbloc being created or an early lynch. However, I do recognize that both FB and notscience being mafia is unlikely, yet individually I find them to be the 2 scummiest suspects.

In post 283, Mindgamer wrote:Last two pages are rather dull. The Notscience/Bane exchange doesn't tell me much about their alignments. Only thing I'm curious about is Bane's apparent amnesia concerning votetags. He started the game using

, then voted correctly three times in a row, but is now back to having the

problems. I'm not sure if this is clumsiness or just an act.

Same for me really. The-Duck is an odd one: He's asking good questions and his cases are logical, yet I don't feel much of a presence from him in this game. It's like you could cut him away and this game wouldn't be much different.

That was more of a VI stance. As I called him anti town. I don't think I mentioned him being scummy.

I just don't have a good feeling about either. One of the two is scum. I find it unlikely that both would be lurking at the same time.

Vote one of us, then. Your play has been exceptionally weak today. Yesterday you were voting and applying good pressure, today you're not doing anything.

In post 284, Mindgamer wrote:This is going te be a double post, but I actually want to continue a bit: This game feels dull because nothing is happening. We have used up half of our time and there have been no meaningful wagons. We have two L-2 wagons, but neither is close to a lynch. This is not going to give us any hints towards scum.

I think we should really start to consider a lynch before we get into 'deadline lynch' terriotry. Who do you guys want to lynch?
For me, even though I do not consider myself part of any bloc, the people on Notscience's theoretical bloc are actually the people I do not want to lynch today. That leaves Number_0ne, Fart Bane and The-Duck. At this point I feel like lynching Number_0ne because there's an actual case on him, but I wouldn't be opposed to voting Bane or Duck if there are good arguments against them ('scumslip' and 'he's not in the townbloc' aren't good arguments).
I would like to hear everyone's scumspects now. This means concretely that I want to see:
The-Duck: Who do you want to lynch besides Jmo (that wagon is not going anywhere atm)? What do you think of the Number_0ne and Fart Bane wagons? Would you support either?
Jmo: Who do you want to lynch? If you say Duck or me, make a case. If you don't, explain which other wagon you think has scum (N1, Bane or Notscience) and vote accordingly.

I'm out of time, but you catch my drift.

Could you elaborate on what you were afraid of when you decided to not make the situation more volatile?
Do you believe a scum would come in and quickhammer (and then get away with it)?
Why do you suddenly believe that FB and NS can't be scum togheter, even though you quite clearly hinted at that idea in response to NS stating that you are bussing?

As for making the situation more volatile, it's because I was worried about this causing the townbloc to be formed. I firmly believe that there is at least 1 mafia in there, most likely notscience. Even if he is town, I'm not willing to risk the game on the credibility of his townbloc.

There's several problems with this post.

Lets go over them, shall we.

1) The only person in my suggested townbloc that he has EXPRESSED misgivings about is jmo. And even then, they seem to have subsided.

I'm only slightly suspicious of jmo, but I'm highly suspicious of you right now.

I'm firmly confident that you are scum. I don't need to discredit you. And supposing you weren't, in what way would the flip be ignored? I am trying to dissolve your townbloc because I believe you to be scum.

And here's what you're saying. If I'm town my flip won't be ignored, but you're trying to dissolve my townbloc before you see my flip because once you do you will have to result to hardcore discredits. For someone so firmly sure I'm scum you haven't laid out legitimate reasons, no?

Do you mean my read on The-Duck, which happened back on Day 1? Or my so-called 'null' read on Fart Bane?

Mr. Flay is looking pretty town to me now, given his recent posts.

I'm neutral on the-duck and zakk at the moment. Can't really tell what side they're on.

My feelings towards notscience being scum have diminished, given his responses to Fart Bane, although not entirely.

Fart Bane also is seeming a bit scummy over his reasoning on notscience. Still, I don't see enough at the moment to justify a vote.

TAM could be a playstyle thing, like what The-Duck said. Unfortunately, I cannot address any of his suspicions against me when I don't know what they are. Still, he looks town to me.

Endernys...I don't even know.

This is the last time you mention a read on The-duck, and Fart Bane is your scumread. You keep saying you think scum is in it but it's probably not me. How Jmo is supsicious too. Now, what's weird is that rather than come out and say why I'm wrong, you're just trying to say "nah don't trust him guys." Why would town need to do that? What happens when I'm confirmed town? He goes after Jmo.

This quote is from October 14th. I don't usually do a lot of meta, but ns is hard for me to read because he's so chaotic. This obsession with townbloc is driviing a lot of my suspicion, because in a game this small it CAN be a scummy move, especially when the player proposing it isn't conftown themselves.

And yes, Wisdom is scum in that game, but he says the same thing postgame. notsci's play there is very different, full of cases and arguments and chasing down reads (often wrong, but that's the game). Here he's laying back and going "welp, gotta townhunt instead!". I really don't like it.

Intent to hammer notsci.

Claim in your next post. We have 3d16h left.

Spoiler: for later

jmo16mla's 303 vote on Mindgamer is... interesting, though. If we're wrong about notsci, I want to look at that, as they've both been townreads for me most of the game.

I've delayed my claim intentionally and have gotten out of a lynch as town. That's not a scum tell,
