We will see.

If you are both townie, that's huge drawback though. Don't see reason to not listen to you.

Sorry to have missed yesterday busy weekend will resolve night actions now

dont vote for BM, that was town v town.
Almost certainly gonna vote for Nono, but will skim Enchant's ISO first.
Still bit susoicious if arte too.

Council: Moz, BM,?

I'm waiting for council info but as it is right now my pool is [BM, Yessiree] and if we get info telling us otherwise it would extend to [mozamis, nono]. Still feel pretty good about art.

I don't think we'll find much useful in interactions for Enchant. They were liked NKed for being near conftown

Enchant being killed should point to scum on the council. There's no way scum is bold, (or dumb) enough to target a council member when they know neither the tracker nor the doctor target

I did my homework and re-read Tbone vs BM, especially #710, and I find BM's reasoning for pushing TBone to be disingenuous. The kill last night also reinforces scum!BM imo.

I think this is a pretty good outlook of the gamestate, minus me being in the pool of course.

I'll vote Raya + Arte + ideally me for council. And my pool is probably BM -> moz -> nono, in this order. I'll compromise on nono being on the council if I absolutely have to

We have a greencheck, but not sure if we're claiming it - will leave it to Artemiana's judgement, given the amount of time wasted on arguing about night actions yesterday.

From the above, doesn't seem like your reads have changed at all in light of T-Bone's flip, which is interesting. Then again, seems you're not that fussy, given your pool is every player except yourself and Arte (and Arte on the basis you "feel pretty good" about them?) I'm not vibing with it after how diligently and carefully you considered reads yesterday, and the amount of oscillation then compared to static reads with 2 flips?

For me...I'll obviously be re-reading.

depends how they fancied their chances of surviving an extra dayphase? if scum didn't kill last night we'd have 7 players left, which guarantees 3 elims to hit the final scum. now we may have 2 or 3 - depending on what happens tonight, if it gets that far.

Not my call but I really think claiming it is a good idea. We're at a point we could really use info like that to maybe fully solve the game

No my reads haven't changed too much except I feel stronger about you being scum. moz and nono are townreads also. They're just there for if the info from the council gave me reason to believe I'm wrong about you and yessiree. My reason for art has not changed which is what I meant by I still feel good about them

I guess the better way to write it would be

It's late for me, so can't type a lot right now. But the gist of it is that your premise for pushing TBone is flawed from the beginning - it started from a misrepresentation of his motivation behind his choice of council actions and you continued down that path. In retrospect I shouldn't have skimmed because I would've caught onto it but I just didn't feel like reading walls at the time

As for the second point, I've already explained above. Killing a council member from outside the council is inconceivable, and since you, Arte, and Enchant were the council last night.

The intention was not to claim, assuming none of us died. I think it's finely balanced - there is value in seeing how players behave at the start of today, with some extra knowledge. But there is a risk of information not being verifiable in subsequent days if Artemiana or I die, if we haven't claimed it today.

Art

Moz, nono

yessiree

BM

I'm not sure that came through at all in your previous post - you were very discerning yesterday, and that seemed pretty laissez-faire.

Can you explain why a result from last night would mean you put Nono and Moz back in the pool? There is a reason I ask.

I don't really wanna spend ages debating T-Bone stuff again today, but that's total BS - I may have been wrong but my arguments in respect of him were entirely logical and his position on me was (in hindsight) just OMGUS.

Come back to it when you have time, and we can talk it through point by point.

I guess it's that sort of belief which is why someone outside the council might kill on council - a risk, but maybe worth taking to get an NK on a solid town player and another mis-elim. Plus elimming 2 council members increases their chances of getting on the council. Also it becomes a bit WIFOMy, because why would scum on council kill on council if your suggestion was correct?

In post 932, mozamis wrote:Council: Moz, BM,?

I think with 6 players left, we should only actually select the council towards the end of the day, once we are approaching a consensus on the elim. Otherwise half the players have immunity which constrains our ability to properly challenge everyone.

I wouldn't say you were logical. The push for TBone was illogical. I would say you were rational by showing a lot of conviction in what you were saying. That doesn't mean you can't be scum, because scum can also appear to be rational, and both you and TBone were making some valid points, so no one really picked up on the subtleties. I feel like if you were town, you would be more interested in re-considerikg the scumread on TBone, or at least humor the possibility of it being That.

But trust me, I don't want to torture myself to debate point by point either. And if you were scum, it'd be pointless anyway. But anywho, more later. Sleep time for me

Maybe hold off for the first part of today then claim after everyone has checked in or something?

In post 941, Raya36 wrote: No my reads haven't changed too much except I feel stronger about you being scum.

Why?

Mainly PoE, T-Bone interactions, the NK being in the council as yessiree said. I can go into more detail tomorrow. I have an exam worth 60% tonight and I don't have the time or energy right now.

Nono and Moz were always in the position of being my backup pool. Nothing happened overnight that changed that. But if for example we cleared one of BM and yessiree and the other was interaction cleared, or we eliminate them and we're wrong I would then look in Nono and Moz.

I'm less concerned about the implications of that debate for my alignment, and more about what an exposition of your claim I was not "logical" might tell me about yours. On the blue - I'm interested in what you now consider to be the valid points vs the false premises. It feels an easy claim to make to throw shade, but is there any credible substance behind it, or are you making it up (and hoping everyone else shies away from the detail so you don't get called out on it)? On the red, can you point me to where T-Bone reconsidered his read on me, or humoured an alternative possibility? Even in spite of me pushing to engage with him on facts and logical argument (rather than AtE and hyperbole which characterised much of yesterday)? Spoiler: he didn't, but flipped town.

There's a few things I'm also struggling with where you're concerned:

1. From a quick look at your ISO, you were a keen proponent of the T-Bone wagon...right up until it looked set to go over, and then you began walking it back a bit (although not with any commanding voice or obvious intent to derail it).
2. Knowing my own alignment, I figure scum would be very keen to fan the flames on the T-Bone-BM conflict. Mozamis (the only other player who didn't elim A50) did the exact opposite - pointedly trying to foster cohesion, and has continued that approach today.
3. Your claim today that scum off-council would not kill on council, doesn't accord with your claim yesterday that a hypothetical Yes-scum would have never thought to no-kill, given that you failed to note that there is no difference between killing on-council or off-council for an off-council scum, as we had telegraphed quite clearly that we weren't going to use the protect. Off-council scum would obviously kill on-council, so drawing up a false distinction to paint that as "inconceivable" to cover for yourself is a bad look.

I'm softening slightly on Raya on the basis that, it feels weird for Raya-scum to not kill whilst on the council, and then kill when not on the council, when I'm not sure the benefit outweighs the risk for her, as it would for somebody more widely suspected.

I'd like to hear from others, but a full ISO on Yessirree will be next up.
