Notice how GGQ is the only one of the three main candidates yesterday who is still alive? Why else do you think the bandwagon on TAA would have filled up so fast? Scum tried to deflect it onto iGrok, but when that failed went to TAA. And who was it who started the bandwagon there? Curu.
Take out GGQ today. He's disappeared to try to get the heat off of him. Vig Curu tonight.

##Vote: GGQ

This game is a shitfest. I have an inclination to believe sandroba, though.

I'm on my phone right now, I'll make this short and sweet:

I've FoSed a lot of people this game, because honestly I don't know what to make of half of the behavior that's been going on. Between yesterday's bandwagons, today's inactivity/trolling/whatever and being accused of being mafia on a "scumslip," my reads are just going all over the place. I'm going to try to consolidate them today so we can lynch mafia.

Our lynch today needs to be one of bum/sinani/Palmar IMO. The problem right now obviously is that a number of our suspicions just keep avoiding the thread (like GGQ). Xt has also avoided the thread today. To be completely honest I haven't seriously considered either of these players yet because of their total lack of activity today.

Between bum and sinani I have no preference. Sinani seems to have wisened up but I really don't see why we should keep him alive.

However, I need to call particular attention to Palmar and Jackal's play; both of them TOGETHER., because people need to really consider them as linked. Think about what they've done this game.

Palmar: has basically screwed with town atmosphere both days by pushing a townie that has made slight mistakes or appears scummy/appears to be playing badly. That was Mig yesterday (where IMO Mig's play was fine, he just forgot a couple things and palmar took advantage of that) and it's me today. His argument for me being mafia is that my play is terrible, so therefore I'm mafia because apparently my play wasn't terrible before.

What the fuck? Since when is someone mafia for being terrible? Someone is mafia for making contradictions, committing strange voting patterns, and not contributing/not having the will to contribute truthfully.

Palmar has done all three of those things this game. Filter him for now; when I get on my computer in 30 minutes or so I'll clarify this more with some quotes that I remember.

As for Jackal, he's pretty much done the same thing. He keeps going on about the scumslip as if it's damning evidence that I'm mafia. He's also contributed absolutely nothing but bad town atmosphere. He took my accusation one step further though, by accusing zona and setting her up to be scrutinized as well (another waste of time)

How do I know that? Cause I'm a townie and IMO based on my BEHAVIOR that should be obvious. Both Jackal and Palmar aren't dumb enough to paint someone as mafia based on a "scumslip". Had chaos not voted me first I'm sure they would've both been cautious about it.

I'll be back soon with specific quotes and reasons for linking the two.

I'm not willing to lynch sandroba today. Everyone who has posted is willing to lynch him.

Bayonnet, I was wondering if you could still shoot tomorrow? The reason I ask is I'm worried sandroba will return but perhaps post just the minimum required to not be modkilled. I was against lynching him before (I really wanted bumatlarge lynched), but if he continues to super-lurk, I think he's worth shooting LATE IN THE DAY (not in the first 24 hours). We should definitely give him a full 24 hours after the night is over to made good on his promise, then we act.

I don't believe Palmar's claim. His "WBG is 100% mafia" - i.e. "I know because I checked him" - would have attracted unnecessary attention to a blue in case WBG was indeed mafia. It makes perfect sense for them: Palmar isn't contributing as much because he has a power role and doesn't want to put himself out there too much.

But if Palmar's claim is fake it all fits. A lot of people are suspicious of him and now that Curu and WBG are dead and confirmed as townies, their repeatedly stated suspicions of Palmar might put him in the spotlight. So, he tries to achieve a mislynch that would probably win mafia the game. Moreover, he has been careful not to say too much in his analysis, so it's unlikely that he has incriminated fellow mafia and having him as confirmed red might not be too bad for them.

And it's not like it's too big of a risk for him to get lynched. Claiming a DT would definitely attract additional attention to Palmar - as if there wasn't quite a lot already - but is unlikely to get him lynched immediately. He did not put himself in a situation that would lead to his lynch in case the information he gave us is wrong because he didn't give us any information whatsoever. What value does town get out of his claim? That there might be a framer or that perhaps Palmar is insane or that people got bussed. As if we didn't know that there's a ton of possibilities with this setup. So, maybe mafia framed WBG on Night 1 or Bum is mafia because he returned green - but we don't really know?
Also, am I correct in assuming that a framed townie would return green to an insane DT? So perhaps Bum got framed...? Palmar is smart enough to consider the possible scenarios and realise that revealing his role would not help town. If he wanted protection, he could have claimed after the lynch.

Also, his checks do not match his posts. He kept on defending Bum during Day 1 and checked him afterwards. Then he said he's "100% sure" on WBG being mafia before checking him. Let's say that Palmar is indeed a DT and was afraid of getting shot. Naturally, as soon as his role was revealed, everyone would start looking for breadcrumbs and see Palmar's "100%" as a proof that WBG is guilty. Although WBG sort of asked for this reply with his question (What chance do you give me of flipping scum?), so perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

I'd appreciate other people's thoughts on both Palmar's claim and my reading of it.

We have already discussed why voting immediately can only help mafia, so if you are town, don't vote. Sandroba and Bum are either mafia or really sloppy - either way, following their votes is bad.

Curu was shot by scum.

I'm leaning towards thinking wherebugsgo was shot by town.

I have to go right now, but bumatlarge's claim makes perfect sense if he's town. I'm going to consider the scenario where he's mafia more thoroughly when I'm back, but right now it doesn't seem that likely.


It's definitely possible that mafia shot both.

But did you get a "power role" read from wherebugsgo? There were a bunch of people who were pretty suspicious of wherebugsgo, I would have expected someone else to be shot by mafia.

I'm hoping another night vig claims. I want to test this person about their role, because while it's (somewhat) possible that a few details are different, I'm sure of a certain something about our roles that is the exactly the same.

When you (the other night vig) claims, don't talk about any details about your role. I will tell you something about our roles to convince you that I have that role, and then I will test you about some details about the role to convince me that you have the role.

yeah bum is scum, some time it took you to cook up a claim that directly counters mine.

Except that no matter what team bumatlarge is on, if he's a pgo, palmar's lying because if he checked bum he'd be dead.
