Mastin was very certain you were scum and it is part of my hesitation in believing you. You both know each other really well and I doubt Mastin would misread you in that way - scumreading you as soon as you entered the game and saying that you were scum right up until the lynch with you as a top suspect.

I am getting paranoid as hell about Nacho as well. Just jumping in and voting Cupcake doesn't feel right.

JSU is claiming that I am innocent AND is confirming my action. Panda is lying. The more we delay, the more people try to outguess the setup wtih crap logic and the more bogged down and unmotivated we all get and the higher the chance that Panda is able to skate after entering a 1v1 with me.

I can see you guys planning something like that but I'm not so sure how much I buy it. However, in a recent game scum "enhanced" their role by saying that it also had a cop element, so that part makes me wary. However, if they're scum enhancing their role then you're still town and telling the truth.

Occam's razor. Do you honestly think BROseidon-scum decided off the cuff INSTANTANEOUSLY to go for broke and defend me from a guilty claim?

So panda gets lynched today and flips town. And BROseidon and I just got ourselves chain-lynched because he couldnt keep it in his pants?

I dont get how you think that is remotely possible.

Dont get me wrong, BRO could be a Mafia Tracker or something like that. Not saying its likely or probable and dont particuarly care to figure it out right now. But Katsuki is scum.

The only way I can see Katsuki being town is if the scumteam is RG is lying about being blocked and maybe JSU is also scum just bussing, i really dont know.

Hey, I said I don't know how much I buy that scenario where the two of you are partnered, but you can't fault me for thinking through every possibility.

I've already said that cupcake is most likely going to be the lynch today, but I'm not going to join it or help until I think it makes the most sense.

I get you think that everyone should just wagon ho, but do you remember Anything Goes? Remember how tentative you approached BBMolla and our situation? So, give me some of the same understanding you probably wanted people to have for you there when things just didn't add up.

Hmm...I need to think about this but I've got to go back to work.

The way I see it a delayer is the opposite of a motivator. I was a motivator once and the people I targeted didn't get motivated until the following night. They didn't even find out that they had been motivated until the next night phase. But, I've also seen motivators that resolve instantly.

I feel like with JSU coming to the rescue the automatic response here would be to throw in more JSU suspicion (unlikely) or possibly start backing off. Also ffery, this might be the rolename you were looking for? Dunno who the hell that is, but it sounds like a name to me.

I am trying to figure shit out.

Ok well the only way I can be scum is if BRO-desp is scum, so I'll let you resolve that cognitive dissonance then.

You could be scum that actually visited Stalin with BRO-Desp tracking you there. BRO-Desp's role is OP. There could potentially be some kind of GF-type role to counter it with yours being it. Like I appear guilty to all cops, perhaps scum have a role that appears innocent to all cops? As for Katsuki's actions on you, perhaps you or one of your buddies is immune from being delayed or scum have a counterpart to Tammy's rolestopper role and used it on before game start? That's a lot of speculation but I can't see a clear scum motive for Katsuki to up and claim "AP didn't visit Stalin" for no reason at all either. He's a good scum player as you know from Anything Goes. He'd expect to survive and win the game.

This requires way too much jumping through hoops and twisting to find a conclusion you're trying to find, I'm surprised you didn't realize it as you were doing it. I kinda think you just don't want to be wrong again and are trying too hard to convince yourself.

I suppose there are roles that could explain both of these things... but I don't particularly suspect them of being in the setup...

Get wrecked scum.

While this is true, do you remember town!mollie in the Reckoning wanting to lynch UT even though I claimed an innocent on him?

?

He's saying he's scum for the thought process, but a very town mollie wanted to lynch UT after I weak neighbored him while at the same time thinking I was probably town. It's not unheard of that people make weird moves.

And in this situation, he has a role that says AP didn't do something he said he did. It's just not as clear cut here.

Do you really want to see the fallout if all three involved in this are town? I sure as hell don't. And I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this play coming from katsuki!scum right now.

On the other hand, mollie is nuts.

I am not asking you to wait till deadline, just until I can process everything that happened and considered all the possibilities. If you are town, it is probably clear to you that Kats is scum but it isn't clear to me. I don't get why you don't understand the hesitation though when you strongarmed that lynch on Baby Spice in that Large Normal. You just made more sense overall and the lynch somehow happened.

I am going to consider all the possibilities and I am not ruling out bussing either although it seems unlikely.

In AoT, I fakeclaimed a vig shot as scum, but then in response to Cabd in Wicked post-game I wanted to say "I'd never fakeclaim a confirmable role as scum," because it's something that's very out of character for my play.

In post 5601, Titan wrote:Actually I thought of both scenarios!

I realize Im being less than coherent. Its just frustrating to be under so much fire all game and finally get a shot of clarity through the mist just to watch people waffle and engage in mental acrobactics because they are either scum or just flatout delusional about the gamestate. Coupled with the absurd reasons for townreading a chronic lurker who now has 2 people confirming that they are lying.

I don't know. I can promise to rethink this with Panda town in mind, but here is the thing. Im sure I can cough up some explanation for Katsuki being town and Katsuki genuinely thinking I am lying, but its going to come down to how likely I think that is over the default hypothesis being that Katsuki is lying about their result on me.

So I need to convince myself that
1) Katsuki was roleblocked
2) That means that there are either 3 roleblocks last night or Rg is lying

No matter how I slice that, I just dont see it being more likely than Katsuki just being scum. Maybe Katsuki was actually roleblocked scum who was trying to delay my investigate

--

I tend to doubt that JSU-scum/PAnda-town is the case. The JSU claim came out very fast. I dont think scum would respond that fast to a claimed guilty. Why not just let Panda/AP resolve itself with a mslynch and the other probably gets mislynched the next Day in that case. No motive to snap claim like that. I -could- see a JSU/Panda team orchestrating this over the night out of fear that JSU would be under fire or Panda might be investigated by someone, idk.

OR JSU is actually just town which I certainly think is the case right now.

In post 5606, The Fox and the Hound wrote:Why did you claim, and why with the timing you did?

So all of the speculation of the Rancid flip/kill would cease, since it's not relevant to catching scum.

So people calling my scum can fix their reads.

So I could get opinions about targets since I'm 0-2 this game alone.

Because it's fully 8:4, so PoE is more viable.

How did AP and I handle that tentatively? We wanted to lynch the not-cop, and had you as confscum from his claim (which didn't change after he flipped Usurper, although me not considering the Usurper option was a bad technical mistake on my part).
