Okay I’m beginning to think that DW is Scum here. I thought there was something odd about an exchange they had with DGB, but if DGB is the Town, then DW might just be Scum.
Okay I need to re-read the game assuming DoTW and DGB are Town, see what’s there. I don’t have the energy right now but it’s something I need to do. T3 as a vote seems fine for now though.
In post 2056, Andresvmb wrote:Actually Anya wouldn’t have revealed the information as the Informed themselves - they’re most likely just a Goon if they’re Scum. But if the theory is correct, they might have been fishing for it.
where is this informed theory coming from?
Anya’s first post is them claiming to be a Mason all by themselves. Now, indulge me for a second. They could be a Traitor Neighbor that’s Informed about a Masonry, and is openly hinting at it in their first post, letting the Scum Team know to go look for them. Unfortunately I really do think DGB/DotW made themselves way obvious. But that’s a theory yeah?
In post 3058, Andresvmb wrote:STD is a bad vote. Sure nobody needs to listen to me but I really doubt it’ll flip Scum. Titus or DotW or T3 seem like vastly superior choices to me. But again, I need to finish reading. Unfortunately I have work to do.
In post 3060, Andresvmb wrote:Also I would like for anyone here to explain why then I TR both petapan and Nero Cain, even though the Scum were clearly looking to shield nom3 at one point D1 by piling on petapan (go back and look at how, after the attention really shifts against nom3, and some voters some of which have to be Town continue expressing skepticism of petapan, that the Scum decisively drive back there around 636). But where was I? Not on either wagon. And nobody seems to be flagging that post from Titus. Or 593 from T3, where they see a wagon developing on Scum (nom3), who is the most important Scum PR most likely, and goes for a vote on petapan that contradicts an earlier take from them after the Team was clearly trying to focus elsewhere. Which is horrifying. Or how about the reads from DotW on 639?
The only reason I think DGB is Town is because of how much osuka disparaged their thinking at different times. But honestly, most of the early takes are bad. And DW? I read the first 500 posts slowly and carefully, and found a lot to be concerned about. Which is why I need to read in detail what happened with Anya, because when you read posts like 422, which I have in my notes as a terrible defense of nom3, and the exchange that follows with Nero Cain, it leaves a lot to be desired.
Rathe is never Scum. I don’t know why they’re in anyone’s POE. The scrutiny from the Scum and votes, some of the exchanges… it’s just never the case. VFP please go back and read D1 and tell me why the Scum ever pile so many votes there as an alternative to their players then. Stuff like 503 for example.
In post 3062, Andresvmb wrote:Anyway, like I said, this game is long and I need some time. But I really do think the Scum are squarely among {Titus, Titus, DotW}. I have Chaos which I need to just look at carefully I haven’t had the time, and DGB. DW is an outside candidate for Scum. Everyone else is, I’m almost sure, Town. I would be amazed if STD or Anya flipped Scum, but maybe not totally shocked, but Rathe is just… never Scum.
Now, the ONE caveat I’ll give on Rathe (now that we know that it’s also Italiano), is that I know that as Scum, they can and do sometimes provides reads that are all correct. They literally had a solve in a prior game that just finished where they put only Town as solid Town, and left the rest of their Team as Null or Scum. It was incredibly risky, but that helped make me seriously think they were just Town. The accuracy here also seems uncanny, so that’s the only thing. But I just think some of the exchanges definitely lower the odds of this.

In post 3235, Andresvmb wrote:Also 1369 alone should be reason enough to vote Titus. And I know DotW is defending most of their early positions as just being wrong but 1379 is equally horrifying.
Re-reading, it looks like his most recent scumread of me really shifted D3. I guess that could've been because my early reads on nom/vax slot were bad but listing me in 3058 came out of nowhere because he didn't mention me between 2059 (where he said DGB and I were too obvious about our roles) and then.
In 3062 he says the remaining scum must reside in "{Titus, T3, DotW}"....how could I be in the remaining scum without DGB being with me? and then in 3223, he only lists 3 people null or below: Titus, DGB, and me.
I don't trust his progression and how 3058 came out of nowhere rubbed me the wrong way. It felt like he was following a train of thought from somewhere else

DotW
Should we go into details about our roles? I think at this point it might help with the game solution.

Feel like that question would have been better suited for your mason PT

Oh thank God I was starting to think the same thing but didn't want to out it if you didn't want to. Especially with Gamma's claim I thought it'd be helpful

I was potentially going to out it tomorrow if Gamma wasn't NK'd and Anya came back as having no PT

So.
We are Informed Townies - mutually informed townies. Essentially, masons, but without a PT.
So early in the game we have Anya coming right in claiming to have a PT, and Kyouko playing along, or actually having a PT, who knows.
I hope it's clearer now why both DotW and I have been so suspicious of Anya and Kyouko.
But now with this PT cop business, we may have a bit more clarity about the setup, so it's time for us to come out with it. We technically could have outed this earlier but since we don't have a PT, but in practice we had to wait until we had a magical moment where we could guess what we both may be thinking.

I would be shocked if she came back with having no PT. Kyouko is a different story. But Anya? She has to have a PT.

The theory that there may be a player who is informed of the existence of a PT cop is intriguing.

To clarify: were y'all informed that the other was informed of yourself?

That's why I was letting it play out a bit. If Gamma came back with Anya having no PT, I was going to claim and push Gamma tomorrow because that would mean there was no PT at all or Gamma was lying about their role. VFP's argument that it was an "easy" fake claim kinda carries weight there if there actually isn't a PT. and if Anya is in a PT, I'm limming that slot to hell

IF Gamma's claim is real, I think there's no town PT and Gamma essentially is a straight up cop. If it's not a real claim, they're scum

I think a PT cop existing would confirm traitors are in the game, because unless there are unclaimed neighborhoods floating around the only PT is the scum chat.

Honestly the informed of PT cop theory makes sense and maybe it would make sense to kill Anya and then have Gamma check someone else.

this "typo" was my pathetic attempt at crumbing that my role was Town Informed on DGB
Perfect.
All votes on me or Gamma. A green flip on either means the other next day.
As I said, you WILL regret this.
I'm an Odd-Night PT Cop, and StD was Rathe's N1 check. The result was that he has no PT so unless StD is traitor he's confirmed town, and traitor loses if all the other scum get eliminated so he's not a priority.
Still want to 1-v-1?
In post 3332, Dragon of the West wrote:What if the "informed" scum role knew that their was a PT cop. that would give scum motive to claim neighbor right out of the gate so they had an excuse if the PT cop saw they were in a PT.

I think this post is towny btw
StD is either town or traitor so either way scum probably would treat them the same way, so the fact DotW is trying to actively push his scumread over a PoE suspect is towny
