Anya was town last game so she's probably town now, that's how it works, right?

Why do people try to theorize in normals without knowing how normals work.

I'm happy with the bitter one-liners.

I disagree with , btw, Anya's activity and throwing around ridiculous accusations is exactly what I expect from town!Anya in early game (to be fair I have exactly one datum backing this up). And taking seriously is just absurd.

To be fair, a handful of us just came from a crazy normal game lol, Anya was 1 of 3 mafia doctors in that game, and the entire ending of that game was full of wild theories, and it was a normal game
I'm sorry I missed this one, I love abnormal normals.

I was going to ask if this was on the basis of just and since they were the only gamestate-advancing posts I could see by them but looking back on the thread I guess you're right that that still puts them above average.

I actually disagree with Egix in , Lemons' post seems like actually trying to understand and read Anya whereas Choof was just poking at me for something they would have understood already if they read the thread (and did understand a few posts later in )

Anya wagon is bad, I offer an alternative:

VOTE: choof

I really dislike , partially because they should be
voting
Anya if they suspect her and aren't already voting someone better, but mostly because the "reasons" they're giving for a scummo vibe seem less like things that a person would
actually
expect more from scum and more like things a person would
imagine
being legitimate cause for a scumread.

I don't actually see how this is wtf-worthy but then I've been hanging around long enough that maybe it's just Stockholm syndrome

In short, a role is either normal or it isn't, it doesn't depend on what other roles are in the game. So sure, you can have a normal game with two Millers, a Deputy, a Cop Enabler, and no Cop. It would be a terrible game but it would satisfy the strict definition of normal.

welcome to the townbloc, thanks for using your brain
This is... a really weird reason to townread me

My brain doesn't get smarter when I'm town, I can use it all the time

This was the run-on bugspray is talking about. Allow me to explain further:
  • I don't like .
  • Town!Choof should vote Anya if he actually thinks she's scummy. Choof wasn't (at that time) voting Anya. So maybe Choof isn't town!
  • Town!Choof should have a real reason to think Anya is scummy. The reason Choof gave looks like a fake one. So maybe Choof isn't town!
Now it's more than one sentence but maybe you can follow it better!


Pedit: Anya, I meant elaborate on Dunnstral being slightly town.

Going back to page 9, maybe osuka's isn't exactly solving the game but it seems like a natural reaction to kind of a flippant reply to me by bugspray. Also bugspray, how on earth did you actually have trouble understanding my original statement in and then say "makes sense"? When I vote someone and say in the same post "They are doing this thing I would not expect for town" you really need me to say explicitly that that thing is my reason for scumreading and therefore voting them?

Agreed geraintm effectively saying they aren't going to play on day 1 is bad. It's a bit brazen for scum but not unthinkably so. Also premature VT claims are gross but I need to run the numbers to see if they're actually scum-indicative.

Lemons' is both informative and gamesolvey and makes me like them for town; I'm not feeling the Anya shade and it reads almost like they should be explicitly scumleaning her instead of saying she's still null, but overall I like it.

I didn't comment on them because I didn't have much to say, i had them as town and their posts just kept being towny, do you want me to say "I Agree" to every post that looks towny?
This is relatable in a way that makes me want to townread it (if only a little); also HEM pointing it out immediately in is a good look because somehow it seems like the sort of thing I would fail to notice as being towny if I were scum (I feel like that is poorly explained on my part but I don't know how to explain it better); conversely, Andante refusing to accept it as towny and even trying to argue it's somehow scummy in is not so great.

Can someone tell me if it's typical for Andante to have nearly twice as many posts as anyone else in the game? In my experience that can be a stronger towntell then most people give it credit for but it depends on the player.

Nothing and I don't have a motive


I'm leaning town on Ivyeo for the reaction to what geraintm posted (regardless of geraintm alignment)

As for geraintm, it would have been towny if this was the first instance of them doing this, but it's not, so it isn't. They can easily be copying what they did as town, as scum here.
:neutral:
So when can I expect you to start doing... you know, something?

VOTE: Dunnstral
I agree with Anya's "cheap vote" characterization here. Egix, if you think Dunnstral is the most likely scum I expect you to come back and explain and to have more reason than you gave in this post.

I missed this question. Yes, I think it's a scummy reaction to respond to suspicion of oneself with "but why aren't you suspicious of these other people who did something similar?" It reads like scum indignant about being accused based on what they consider insufficient evidence.

I really can't imagine a setup where scum is informed that every single PR has a private topic. Well, I can imagine it but it would be such a terrible setup that I'm rejecting it out of hand. So HEM can't possibly be "slipping" something if it isn't actually true. I don't think we can read into that one way or the other.

VOTE: bugspray for the sake of being contrarian, on balance I have a gut feeling Dunn flips green in which case we learn pretty much nothing from his death whereas (1) I don't have a similar feeling with bugspray and (2) even if town at least they've generated enough associatives that we get usable information from the flip. I considered going back to HEM but he's towned up quite a bit IMO

I won't actually do anything to stand in the way of a Dunn yeet other than not-vote-for-it though because I recognize we need to reach a consensus here and it's not the worst possible choice (that being probably Anya or Ivyeo imo). Also I'm off to bed in a few minutes and it's doubtful I'll be back in time for end of day so do what you will.

The burning question right now is whether or not you think HEM scumslipped
I've failed at going to bed so I can answer this (and already did, in ). No, I don't think HEM slipped that every PR in the setup has a private topic, because I don't believe that's true in the first place and so HEM couldn't possibly have been pre-informed of it being true.

Why not?
Because it's just a semantics game. "Aha, he said definitely that 'they don't' instead of saying 'no, that's not what happened' or something more general like that, this means he
knows
something about what Mafia does or doesn't know!" Assuming HEM is town he probably
should
think Mafia don't have some sort of information about PRs all having private topics just because by default there is no reason at all for such a complex proposition to be true. If anything he'd be more likely to make that sort of 'slip' as town since he wouldn't so carefully consider the implications of the precise wording he used. (Though this is immaterial because I think most likely he really was answering as he said; personally I have never heard of scum 'caught' on something trying to lie outright about
the meaning of the words they wrote
as opposed to just trying to defend the actual meaning as a reasonable thing to write and mean. If 903 were really referring to 901 I would expect HEM to own up to this regardless of alignment.)

Claiming VT at this precise moment with HEM and me just starting to push a different wagon, when town might well decide it's safer to launch the VT claim than then unclaimed Bugs, seems very town to me; safer for scum to just keep their head down a little longer and see what happens than to pop up right then.

Bugspray (7) [HAMMER]: Dunnstral, T3, Umlaut, Anya, humaneatingmonkey, Ivyeo, Geraintm

Dunnstral (3): VFP, Egix96, bugspray
humaneatingmonkey (2): InsidiousLemons, osuka

With 12 alive it takes 7 to eliminate or 6 to no-eliminate.
I've already explained why Dunnstral is town. Anya, HEM, and Ivy (and, I hope, myself) get full townpoints for making the Bugs launch happen at EOD. Geraintm only gets partial credit since Egix had already given intent to hammer.

If there is scum on the Bugspray wagon it is T3 or Geraintm.

Pedit
Yeah, I'll give Egix some townpoints for that.

Let's switch wagons now.
VOTE: bugspray
HEM had already said earlier (and I called him out on this) that he was more willing to launch Dunn than Bugs. Dunn was at L-1. All HEM had to do was nothing. He had
no motivation at all
to so aggressively hype a Bugs wagon when Dunn was at L-1. Except maybe in the scenario where the team is exactly {Bugs, Dunn, HEM}, but I don't believe that and I don't think you do either.

It's probably distancing gone wrong gone good.
Gone from "I expect one of these three to be scum" to "it's probably Umlaut" pretty quick there.

I'm maybe more convinced than you that Ivy is town. If scum!Ivy raised the point yesterday about being unlikely to get a claim from Bugs it would be as an excuse not to vote there, and she didn't use it as one.

Why would scum!Ivy who is calling for an elimination between Dunn, Lemons and you suddenly flip around and agree to vote their buddy bugspray? It seems more like a towntell to me, I can see scum!Ivy voting Bugs if she's trying to keep up appearances but her progression doesn't match that at all.

at the time that you outed your target
, because you had a narrative in mind that you wanted to construct -- one which incriminates hem, and which implicates me when you flip scum. convenient.

when you send in your night action, you specifically target
one person
, and yes i do find it kind of hard to believe that you would forget who that one specific person was. i think hem was what slipped out because he was on your mind, because even though he wasn't your "target",
your action was more about harming hem than protecting me.
i think town!osuka would have been markedly less likely to make this mistake.

there is never going to be a way to prove conclusively whether you would or would not have made this mistake as town. but as i've said, flipping your slot is going to give us a lot of information either way. if you flip red, great. and even if you flip green, that
still
gives us a solid lead on hem and provides us with a frame of reference for what other PRs are more or less likely to coexist in the same game.

and lastly, why does it even have to be hem who shot at me? if the aim is simply to incriminate you and kill two birds with one stone, wouldn't
any
scum seize the same opportunity?
I actually think Lemons is on to something. It seems like Osuka is caught in a contradiction here.
  • He first he "rolestopped HEM" but let's assume he really did mean to say he rolestopped Lemons.
  • Then he says the fact that there was no kill incriminates HEM, to the point where he
    instantly
    regarded HEM as caught scum this morning and cited his action as the reason, as if it were so conclusive that no more explanation need be given
  • And "I rolestopped [Lemons] so that HEM couldn't kill [them]"
  • But then he "i didnt do it to incriminate hem. the fact that there was _no_ kill at all is what incriminates him, and that's just a consequence of me having protected [Lemons] because i thought [they] could be a target."
I can't formulate a coherent state of mind for a town!Osuka to have had last night going into the start of this day, where all of these statements can be genuine. If Osuka rolestopped Lemons out of a belief they were the likely kill choice for
any
scumteam, then he should have expected to stop a kill and should not think it implicates HEM specifically. He absolutely should not think that "at first" as he says in that he did. Conversely, if Osuka rolestopped Lemons specifically because he thought
HEM
would target them, and also thought HEM was scum, he should know that's what he did and shouldn't be making a post like in the first place, where he tries to argue Lemons was a justified rolestop regardless of the team.

I think the error of saying "I rolestopped HEM" reveals that Osuka's mind was more on HEM than it is on Lemons, and so the explanation that he did not initially set out to implicate HEM is phony.

You want me to answer whether I think VFP's case against me is good?

I don't

It seems scum-motivated to me, particularly because VFP's reactions to questioning on that read seem more aimed at
defending their right to think I'm scum
than they do at
convincing anyone I'm scum
. Look at e.g. : all the arguments there are arguments that I
could possibly
be scum
despite
how the end of yesterday went down. They're not arguments that I'm very likely, or even more likely than random, to be scum. They're particularly not arguments that would ever convince someone not already inclined to scumread me. And the repeated "Why is he town besides the Bugs vote?" is rather what-have-the-Romans-ever-done-for-us.

Dunnstral, if you think Osuka is a mistake then make another suggestion.

I considered unvoting just because there's so much daylight left but I'm honestly not that fussed about this
