I probably won't vote to lynch them today since basically the entire game is blown open rn and need to reread a lot of things, but why entirely off the table?
Like Porkens' scum reads are DD/norwee/catboi
And they were voting Bee
I don't see how a Bell flip completely absolves them
In post 1604, catboi wrote:Bell was basically indifferent on porkens/starbuck while barely mentioning jackel. That is probably where we should be looking.
The flip also makes multiple cleric roles a LOT more plausible knowing that it was possible for scum to hand out multiple points of corruption per night. Without those things would be very likely to get overwhelming fast.
Okay, thanks for the explanation. I'll look out for that while looking through Bell's ISO
i dont think starbuck should be allowed to be on EOD wagons.

No its needed 110% they cant live after that claim
Their catchup has been town as fuck. Is an unnecesarry death that limits town votes in the game further just to ease your concience really worth it?
Why tho?
Like ignoring Porkens's: ("ur tone so scummy") read, i'd really like it if i could see some decent explanation from you at least of what kind of mastermind plot i'm scheming here.
Yeah, if you're scum the attempted veto of Bee's suicide once you saw who they would target would make sense
I don't want to live in this timeline. But that's something I can't ignore forever
I'll table it for today, continue looking through day 1 Bell, this just kinda popped into my mind as I was doing it

Ughhhhhh I hate this timeline if you are scum I really don't want that to be the case </3

Yes which is mainly why I am willing to put off Norwee for now. He claimed cleric before Redtea. So the is Norwee is scum, Redtea likely is too, and they're likely lying together, that or Norwee got REALLY lucky
Tin foil hat time - on my home site sometimes people give mafia a role that can investigate a player's exact role. Norwee could be that? And have found Redtea's exact role

I mean. I am willing to believe there are 3 roles that lower corruption given there are 4 self-harm claims (one confirmed - Saintess), even though they kinda act like mini vigs
Plus we know that scum can both give out corruption now in addition to night kill
Also give that they do act like mini vigs, pretty sure I get to survive longer now lol, there's no way Norwee/Redtea both survive til endgame unless scum

@Jackel
There are a lot of other players in the game, talk to me, help me figure out what's going on here. The game is blown wide open, pretty much anyone is on the table for lynch today with a mafia flip
Town should be ecstatic, so if you are town please work with us here, because from the surface it looks like you're just rolling over in defeat
One of Bell's last actions was to jump off of Porkens (when they were at 4 votes) onto Starbuck (who had 1). We were getting pretty close to EOD
Note that during this DD also "holds up the wagon" on Porkens as Norwee puts it, but we don't have a flip yet on Porkens/DD so I'm just looking at Bell rn
In post 1469, Dumb and Dumber wrote:I don't find the doubled cleric claim to be inherently scummy, imo; I think they can both be town
I think that androgybee has managed to claim in just about the scummiest way possible but gun-to-head I'd say they're probably town? But they certainly aren't helping things
I think it's possible that people got corrupted last night but didn't know it - iirc the OP says that people will only be alerted to a *net* corruption change. IE if their corruption gains and losses cancel each other out, they won't be alerted. like a +1 corruption and -1 corruption won't be announced since there's no net change.
So I don't think it's possible to fully track all of the corruption getting passed about.
Nothing about this massclaim has made me want to vote outside of porkens/Star
So far my opinion hasn't really changed from voting one of Starbuck/Porkens today, not really
In post 1489, Bell wrote:Tbh, I'm leaning more toward Starbuck than Porkens rn, because I can at least point towards stuff that I find unique in porken's post that could come from town.
After that Bell doesn't post much up to their death, and then things become about Bee. Idk, I'm more inclined to think if we had to choose between Starbuck/Porkens I'd still pick Porkens
Great, we have 4 days, lets smash some scum! When you get the chance, can you let me know what your reads are, if anything has changed since the Bell flip?
Starbuck since you're here, can you talk to me about Bell's flip? Does it change anything in your reads today? I wasn't really sure who you scum read before, I remember you were voting Bee and then said you were gonna dive into Porkens a bit
Idk. Looking through Bell day 2 again, they rally votes for Porkens early. And then jump off near EOD in favor of Starbuck, as the question becomes between Bee/Porkens instead of Starbuck/Porkens
People I don't wanna lynch today: Starbuck, Norwee, Redtea, Catboi

Although i’m pretty sure Bell entertained me!scum with Porkens for a short while before seemingly scumreading Porkens more. I’ll think about it.

Lamisty?
Yeah, i sometimes distance from the main wagon on town as scum to look good when they flip town.
I mean that could be the case, but tbh it looks bad when they were spamming "Vote porkens vote porkens" all day, just to jump off at the end
It makes more sense fmpov as them trying to bus early then save late than push early then try to get cred by jumping off late
I'll reevaluate DD in a bit, gonna get some lunch right now
I'm wary of having been buddied based on this. And if i were to guess who the second one would be in that case, i'd say D/D over Catboi. Catboi's approach on my slot from scum to townreading me was much more natural than D/D just stating he TR me here:
DD was the one who originally called for mass claim today, right? Bell also backed the mass claim iirc. If DD/Bell is a team, I'm wondering why they wanted to mass claim so badly? If DD/Bell is a team, why aren't they content to let today end in a elimination of Starbuck or Porkens?
Which do you think is more likely? (Assuming DD+Bell scum universe) They were 3p hunting with the mass claim as they are afraid of cross kill, or they are trying to save one of Starbuck/Porkens?
@Jackelgator, when you are back can you answer me a question please? Could you explain your vote on me? I shrugged if off earlier, but when I was going through your ISO I found these posts:
In post 1071, Starbuck wrote:I'm also concerned that Jackal jumped aboard that because I try to think the best of folks when there are longer than usual absences, which is why I stood up for her when folks went after her for the same thing yesterday. I also think androgybee's late entrance to Day 2 and shade of me (when they haven't even tried to be around) is hypocritical.
For the record, I don't think you're scum; I was just confused by Porkens thinking I had a TR on you. You're mostly null? I generally agree with your reads, and you don't mesh well with my top SRs. I just agreed that lurking can be a good strategy for scum to fly under the radar.
In post 1073, BananaCucho wrote:I can't remember who said it day 1, but eventually we're just gonna have to get some courage to vote a less active player, unless you want to vote an active player. Which imo is a bad idea right now because literally all scum has to do this game is target the rest of the active players at night and lurk the game into a victory, because after finding out Bell is a fruit vendor I'm not voting them and
I highly doubt that both DD+Norwee are scum
Why? Is it more that you townread them independently (so you think it's statistically unlikely that both would flip town), or that you have a specific reason for you thinking that those two wouldn't be scum together?\
In post 1097, NorwegianboyEE wrote:It's starting to feel really scummy how people like Jackel and Starbuck are scumread for bad content/bad posts yet they keep framing it as if they're being pushed for "inactivity" (even though that is also a point against them) and trying to vote active players.
Do you think only inactive players should be pushed right now? Also, that's not my main reason for SRing you. It's that I can't find any substance beyond the inactivity behind your reads, and you haven't responded once when I asked for some.
Not really, tbh? I tried to work it out, but it was just a mass of WIFOM. Like, I scumread NEE. I can build a narrative in my head for why NEE would kill Joey (lock in Joey's TR on him, throw suspicion on his SRs), but that's really just confirmation bias.
BananaCucho wrote:And I only have 1 corruption rn, if I get a 2nd corruption I won't die. I was able to cancel my self harm action with Dunn.
I mean, it'd probably be better for a generally scumread person to take it, especially one who doesn't have any corruption yet, imo?
From what I can see, you seemed to show concern for me taking the fruit from Bell again, assuming that I would die, and that that would be a bad thing. So I just need to clear up this point, thanks
I think I should ISO myself and see what questions I've asked people that they haven't answered -_- I'm sure there's 100+ for Porkens alone

Can't point to anything they've said that's bad, no real strong towntells, but there's some okayish attempts at evaluating and a little bit of flip-flopping on bell's claim I actually like because it feels like real evaluation. Gun to head I'd probably just guess they're town. Wouldn't vote them before porkens or jackel but would put them below the strong townreads.
A thing that's bothersome about porkens's claim
that no one has brought
up is how he has an ability that raises his corruption but apparently had no problem hammering on day 1, it doesn't really seem to hold that he'd be so cavalier about corruption when it potentially reduces the amount of times he could use his ability.
In post 1501, BananaCucho wrote:And an investigative role that self harms with corruption (even if it is a higher threshold) choosing to hammer there like that at the end with that many hours left? I don't buy that either
Porkens never will address this no matter how many times we ask

I “110%” have called scum between norwee\dumb\catboi
I was dead right on bell and I’m right here again.
Not conversing in good faith? Really? I'm asking you to explain things, like expand on catbois "moral flexability" as I don't understand what you're trying to say, and you're just throwing in sarcastic and snarky remarks the whole way
And fwiw Porkens, you keep bringing up that you were "right about Bell"
But your scumreads iirc have been DD/Norwee/Catboi for pretty much forever. Looking through your iso, I do see that you have questioned Bell repeatedly. Including from the very start, but never really pushed for them to be eliminated
You vote Norwee, Catboi, and Bee. But you never voted Bell, not even once
Why are you trying to claim some sort of credit post Bell flip? If anything, your lack of pushing them, scum reading them, or interacting with them makes that early "catch/call" that you had look like a TMI, it never crossed my mind that scum may have higher corruption and were wanting to lower it until I actually saw Bell flip. And I've put a lot of thought into this game.

Joey/

or even Math, which would explain the recent misdirection from Joey.
Jackel seems like flip bait to me.
Redtea, SS, Starbuck, catboi, Andro, and Rat/Bell all feel town to me.

And that does bring up another question in my head now. Once Bee reveals that they can lower someone's corruption to 0, who continues to push for Bee elimination? I threw out an ultimatum there myself of "they suicide or we eliminate them". But who pushed for Bee's outright elimination? Because fear of realizing "oh shit, this person can kill one of us" is something we should look at now that Bell has flipped

In post 1510, catboi wrote:(*`Ω´*) Hot take: Porkens is telling the truth about his role, it's just not town aligned. Track on redtea doesn't make sense from a town POV aligning with his opinions from the previous day but

(=´∇`=)I think it's not implausible for there to be duplicate versions of roles in the game, and found the way redtea claimed to be fairly believable.
( ^..^)ノ I claim vanilla town.
~(=^┬ ┬^) The claims are confirming my fear, which is that the second kill assuredly did not come from town. Given this perspective, I'm actually much more skeptical of androbee's claim now than before. Giving someone corruption immunity seems implausibly strong. I think it needs to be resolved today because otherwise on later days they'll have the excuse that suiciding would cause town to lose. I think one of those two should be the vote today.

If we flip Porkens and he's scum and has a scum rolecop ability, then Norwee is likely scum and they bussed each other all game lol

D&D still a townlean, but /shrug. havent really paid close attention there since d1
porkens claim is a little weird and seems to not fit into the rest of the setup. how many visiting roles have been claimed? at any rate, it should be tested: porkens should target a known visiting role tonight and confirm their target before that player claims tomorrow.
i havent liked jackel today either. it seems like they're just trying to be way outside the consensus in order to appear like "wrong town" but ultimately it just reads as their reads are unlikely to be real.
catboi and reatea, no idea lol.

FYI if anyone is looking for something to talk about. We told Bee we'd evaluate their reads post flip
