Amrun, what's your actual read on Titus now?
I still think Titus is the most likely scum out of my listed results. I just think town is not benefitting from dragging this day on. My night 2 result will be stronger anyway.- Untrod Tripod

the inverse of that argument is that you are just scum that's trying to blend in and not make waves.

It remains ridiculously hard to lynch Vorkuta for no reason.
I await the claim largely ambivalently. It's not a bad lynch, just an incredibly meh one."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

I'm caught up. I had a strong "this is town" reaction to the replacement request, saying thatIn post 6559, Amrun wrote:Fonz, what is your take on Titus? Are you caught up?scumhad figured out who she was, indeed I thought that phrasing a request to the mod like that somewhat pushed the limits of using the mod for in-game advantage. But her actions since, in particular not being willing or able to say who these scum she thinks have worked her out are, really make my head spin. She has shit for reads, but then unlike Elements or Vork, she... has reads.
Like I say, I'm conflicted. I'm getting strong "We're just lynching Elements for being a VI" vibes. And I literally cannot remember a single Vork post from the hundred odd pages I just read. I'd say that's scummy but his day one play fits with the idea that he's some kind of town role with odd mechanics. I'm going back and forth in my head an unpleasant amount, especially since what I think probably won't even matter.- Almost50

But BBMolla is "old school", so he wouldn't fake claim to clear someone that way.

the Elements wagon really makes no sense to me as anything other than a bus. It just popped up all the sudden for no reason.
Like I said earlier, it reminds me of the game in which we ran up scum Titus and then her and her team bussed the absolute fuck out of one of her team.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
