(Actually I don't think Anya's setup speculation was serious but anyone discussing ideas like "maybe there's no scum PT" as if they were serious doesn't know how normals work)
I disagree with 102, 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 61 seriously is just absurd.

This is relatable in a way that makes me want to townread it (if only a little); also HEM pointing it out immediately in 312 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 316 is not so great.In post 311, Ivyeo wrote: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?In post 304, Andante wrote:The only post I like from Ivy is the reads list, but it's like, I almost just forced Ivy into posting that, idk.

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.In post 401, Egix96 wrote:In post 381, Dunnstral wrote:In post 257, humaneatingmonkey wrote:For now, I want everyone to declare what they're doing and what their motive is.

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.
So when can I expect you to start doing... you know, something?

last time i looked though, there were 4 votes on you, so why aren't the 3 other people voting for you getting asmuch heat as i am?
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?"

I've failed at going to bed so I can answer this (and already did, in 1056). 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.In post 1069, Egix96 wrote:The burning question right now is whether or not you think HEM scumslippedIn post 1037, Umlaut wrote:Sort of back but it's going to be a while before I can read 20 pages and it sounds like we don't have a while

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
Hem later tried to claim that they were responding to a post from the bottom of the previous page.

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.In post 1063, Dunnstral wrote:vt

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.

Gone from "I expect one of these three to be scum" to "it's probably Umlaut" pretty quick there.In post 1202, VFP wrote:Well I already said that there was nothing in their ISO. The pass was being V/LA at that point.In post 1174, humaneatingmonkey wrote:what is this read? please explain
But I don't see why any credit is given to Uma. The push comes at a safer part of the wagon, and I doubt that 4 quick votes were expected.
It's probably distancing gone wrong gone good.
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.In post 1197, humaneatingmonkey wrote:depending on what osuka says about his night action, I think we lynch lemons > osuka > VFP > Geraintm > Ivy.

I actually think Lemons is on to something. It seems like Osuka is caught in a contradiction here.In post 1348, InsidiousLemons wrote:i do get it, or at least i get what you're going for. i believe that you didn't mix up rolestopper and roleblocker at the time of your claim, sure. what i'm saying is that i think you forgot the specific function of your night actionat 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 targetone 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, thatstillgives 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'tanyscum seize the same opportunity?
