@Spag Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks something is wrong with this.
@Mocsta You yourself have plenty of occasiations where you prompt others to do the thinking for you. I'm not certain on this, but atleast everyone of your quoestion session has left me with this feeling.

@Omni I though it was not advised to talk about who a cop would target? Since then the mafia could bluehunt more efectively. If they know for example that a cop would target you, and then someone makes case against you and player C comes in and defends you against the case, wouldn't that make player C a good candidate for the cop and thus a candidate for the following nightkill?

EBWOP: And since only one roleblock has been claimed anyway, the only way there would be cop is that the scum RB or the JK didn't target anyone, or both targeted Omni. I don't think a JK would target Omni, so doesn't that make this kinda pointless?

@Mocsta Your case on Omni has been the worst case so far. I will not restate what Cora has already stated.

Quickly though - for those of you who played with me last game my views stay the same for Policy lynches. We shouldn't lynch the lurkers D1 just because they aren't active, we need to actively scum hunt and push our top scum reads. I WILL lynch liars though. Townies don't need to lie in this game.
That's all I've got to say about that I'm looking forward to this getting going! (1) Policy talk from all is typically meaningless fluff at the start. You say you will actively scum hunt.. but what have you contributed actively? A vote on zarepath.. because he votes no-lynch early game. that is not active scum hunting. That is prejudice. I can vote 100 people between now and deadline. its the vote at deadline that matters. First sign you need to step up your game.. the question is whether town or scum motivation. To me, I take this 50/50. So null read. How do you not include Omnis case on StriX as active scumhunting? Your reasoning for StriX being town is
I personally didnt like his requests.. BUT.. in newbie 33 there were other townies who voiced the same requests StriX.. (I am referring to medic to my marine Spag)... so I gave StriX some dispensation (based on my past experiences). So you think his play is bad and you let it go because this is a newbie game? I could understand this if your townread on StriX was something more than giving him some dispensation.

Also spag I only read your last post as writing this and I have no idea what you are talking about. I think you have this made up illusion that I have something against you because of NMM XXXIII.

I am stuck with you. I don't think my case had confirmation bias (unfortunately only Corazon has commented). The problem is, on a re-read, and considering content since the case.. I do find some material to be incredibly town motivated.
Even if I ask you do not provide more reasonings for letting down your suspicions on him.

Syl gave him a very nice resume as Mocsta called it and made me look forward to what he would bring to the table to help us with his insight. However I have not seen any of it in nearly 48 hours. Perhaps a town StriX would make large posts and push strong scum reads however that is not what we have seen at all. He plays a newbie card early on and on top of that votes for TeMiL and feels that after making that his only useful(?) post he should not be grouped together with him as a lurker. @OmniEulogy by the way - if you reread I was the first to call out zarepath on his no-lynch so it's amusing to me that you use it as an argument then call me out for contributing nothing.
@cDGCorazon I shouldn't be grouped with TeMil. If mentioning no-lynch is a massive contribution I must be severely missing something about this game. Especially after Syl brought up all the insight you bring to the game.

Seems to defeat the purpose - Much easier to wait for a mistake then tell someone your watching them and expect one. Not to mention you could create one self fulfilling prophecy style. Basically, he wants to lurk and watch his target without forcing his scum read to actually answer any questions... thus giving him no new information. This is not a town way of scum hunting. It is scum pretending to hunt scum while allowing himself to continue to lurk. He also admits that Mocsta has fed him the names for his top scum reads at that point in time.

At this point transparent observations are my strength. Aggression for me is fun and all but very often seems to lead to situations we have with Sylencia v Zarepath. He wants to lurk as town and offer no helpful information himself and use information other people gather to give his opinions. On top of this he then criticizes it when it is exactly what Syl had to do to answer Zare's case. It makes no sense considering it is exactly what he wants to watch happen. (have people question each other for information so he can make cases) The only problem with what happened was that a bandwagon did not form on a possibly innocent Syl and thus as scum he had nowhere to hitch his vote to. He also backtracks on Zare just based on the fact that he no longer things the no-lynch would be scummy without a good reason. Stating "it was a ploy" and that is all. At this point in time StriX has moved to my top scum read and therefore I am voting for him. ##Vote: StriX (9) The vote on StriX. Starts off copy/pasting my comments. Goes back into policy lynch talking.. Seriosly Omni... future games you roll as town, you need to let it go man.... Justification regarding StriX->zarepath is weak, but passable as a town motivation. Then finishes off with more policy talk. I assumed he realised the justification for the vote was weak, so decided to spruce it up with some policy justification. While Omni may quote yuor comments, you never say that you are waiting for StriX to contribute a big post. And Omni does not talk policy in his case, he is accusing StriX of just talking policy.
Not to mention posting your case 1 hour before the deadline, even if, as you state yourself, you had your scumread atleast 10 hours beforehand. Your case on TeMiL seems like an excuse not to post a real case. Then you can just say that a coach gave you the advise to pursue your read and that is why posted it so late.
I urge everyone to go through Mocstas filter and re-evaluate, if his truly is town. His only big contributions are the cases on Omni and TeMiL, which reek of utter bullshit. Other than that he has just been leading the town to the direction he wants with his questions. What has he actually contributed since N1? Since D1? He has defended himself. I will post a bigger case later, but right now I need to leave for school.

Making this took way longer than I expected, but here it is: My case on Mocsta
I think Mocsta is an active scum rather than a passive one. And what I mean by that is that instead of trying to stay in the shadows, he is come aggressively forth, being confident not to slip. His main motive isn't to stay hidden, it is to cause caos while appearing as the most contributing person. He does a very good job of missleading town. I will now explain how his posts are crafted to help his agenda.
His posts can basicly be split into five categories:
- Policy talk
- Summaries
- Accusations
- Leading others
- Reasonings
+ Show Spoiler [Policy talk] +Mocsta starts the game with policy talk. Some more policy talk. Later, he comments on the power of a vote. That's it for posts solely on policy talk. Mocsta has some other posts were he touches on lynching policy, but overall he seems to avoid the subject. Talking about policy is something easy for mafia to do, so by avoiding it his "contributions" seem more of a town nature. More so than that, it gives him the opportunity to attack others because they are talking about policy. + Show Spoiler [Summaries] + + Show Spoiler [Accusations] +I will group the small accusations and Mocstas to cases (TeMiL and OmniEulogy) separately. + Show Spoiler [Small accusations] +All of these are easy accusations to do. There is no deeper thought behind most of these. They help Mocsta establish a protown image while making others appear as more suspicious. + Show Spoiler [Cases] +Analysed separately for clarity + Show Spoiler [TeMiL] +Mocstas case on TeMiLAt the start, it seems as though Mocsta tries to make it acceptable that he doesn't post any analysis at all. Later on he even said that he had a slight scumread on Omni even before making this post. Even in his opening post he quotes cakepie to say that policy lynching is not an substitute for active scumhunting. Yet he still wants to kill TeMiL because he is not contributing, even thought Mocsta later say that he is 100% town. This is certainly suspicious. Going after the easy target, he would not have to fabricate lies to make his case good. + Show Spoiler [OmniEulogy] +Mocstas case on OmniEulogycDgCorazon giving his opinion on itI will not repeat what Corazon said, so you should read that too.

Why doesn't Mocsta consider Omnis case on StriX as scumhunting? Omni gives out valid points against StriX, but he ignore this as a contributing early and later attacks Omni based on the case even though he himself said it was one of Omnis key posts. Contradicting yourself in the same post. Feels scummy.

Again, how does that help town win? It is interesting how Mocsta sees Omni retracting his vote as scum, when he himself retracts his stance on Omni with even worse reasoning. His opinion on Omni changes even before he has taken his time to read the thread properly? If he didn't read the thread just what on earth made Mocsta change his opinion? Knowing Omni is town would be one and only mafia 100% that someone is town. Starts off copy/pasting my comments. Goes back into policy lynch talking..
Omni just quoted Mocsta a bit, and he ha sn't even said that he waited a big post from StriX. And there is no policy talk, Omni just says that StriX mentioning zarepaths no-lynch policy is not a big contribution. Omni is not doing the policy talking, he is attacking StriX for talking policy. It seems as though Mocsta didn't even read Omnis post properly, or that he is trying to come up with arguments for his case, even when none exist. How is this town minded at all? It isn't, it is telltale scum behavior. Then finishes off with more policy talk. I assumed he realised the justification for the vote was weak, so decided to spruce it up with some policy justification.
Omni is not using policy lynching as an argument anywhere in his case. What Omni actually states is that StriX being suspicious of zarepath because of the no-lynch and then backtracking on it, saying that he (StriX) doesn't consider the no-lynch so scummy anymore, is, in fact, scummy behavior. Intentianally missunderstanding someone is scummy
All in all, your case is weak. You twist Omnis words to fit your reasonig, and post the case late causing confusion, even though you had your suspicions for a while. This is really scummy. These cases of yours reek of scum mentality. First going after the easy target with TeMiL and then going after Omni hoping for a last minute confusion bandwagon. + Show Spoiler [Leading others] +I will split up the analysis and go through the posts adressing everyone separately. + Show Spoiler [Leading a single person] +Mocsta is trying to make others think for him. Asking others to do something for you is scummy. + Show Spoiler [Leading everyone] +Mocsta creates discussions, making him seem more of an townie, but in reality he is leading everyones thoughts. He is making everyone think for him while his actual contributions remains at a minimum. + Show Spoiler [Reasonigs] +These will be split into to categories: posts where Mocsta defends himself and posts where he reasons without someone asking for it. + Show Spoiler [Defenses] +Mocsta makes his stance on Corazon clear. His is placing his vote on Cora to fabricate giving pressure. It is easy for him to back of stating that he should not pay attention to previous games, but this one.He defends his ask questions but do not answear them-policy. A beatiful way to avoid Syls question while making it seem that just asking questions is giving his thoughs on everything. And says he is not going to comment on the zare/Syl conversation. How is this town oriented?Mocsta defends his vote on TeMiL. He defends his coming voteswitch. He defends presenting his case late. Mocsta defends his read on Omni. Then he defends his townread on StriX. Mocsta townread is based on giving dispensation to StriX, not on his actions. What? Mocsta can't give us a single action of StriXs with town motives and still considers him town? This is just an excuse for what he said earlier.And he defends his lack of analysis. Another post defending the Omni case. And yet another post defending the Omni case. Mocstas hint to changing his opinion on Omni just seems as a hindsight way of avoiding responsibility. And nowhere do I state that I am any good at analysing. It seems he is missinterpretetting this post in which I state that random accusations will lead us next to nowhere.Mocsta defending his vote on me while reasoning not to lynch TeMiL. Notice how he is still not giving his reasonings but letting others figure them out? This is not town play. And he does not address the case of a misslynch, which was the orginal point of Syl: not bringing us to a point were TeMiLs vote decides the game.He finally addresses Sylencias point of TeMiL being maybe scum while defending not lynching TeMiL. Still doesn't address if he is in the event of a misslynch okay with TeMiLs vote deciding the game. Because he is scum and this would actually benefit him.Mocsta defends himself against me pointing out his bad logic on his Omni case. Why the heck doesn't he bother to write down what is wrong with my reasoning? If there actually was something wrong with it, why not point it out? It is because he is trying to undermine my credibility in fear of the actual case.He defends not lynching TeMiL. He just theorises about random lynching while providing nothing new.Another post defending not lynching TeMiL. Again not giving his thoughs on whether he thinks it is okay to have TeMiLs vote decide the game.Mocsta defending not lynching TeMiL and his vote on me. In what basicly is a summary post.Mocsta defending his statement that town is winning. How can anyone think that town is winning? If we don't lynch scum now, it's LYLO the next day.Mocsta defending his various arguments. Then he defends Omni, without actually telling us why he considers him town. Notica also how he treats his case on Omni as two players misscommuncating. Even though most of Mocstas points do not stem from a dialog.After D1 until my vote on him, Mocsta is very defensive, not contributing much of anything else than his defenses. + Show Spoiler [Orginal reasonings] +Mocsta reason in advance his voteswitch. Mocsta giving his general musings. Basicly a summary post, where he states that Spag is his top read. If Spag is his top read why not vote for him? Or atleast provide a case? This is classic scummy behavior.Mocsta theorising associations. He has stated many times before that he doesn't want to make association cases. Yet what does he do now?As we can see he doesn't reason much if something isn't asked from him. Not giving information is scummy.
+ Show Spoiler [Very suspicios points not mentioned] +Mocsta advocating that we have a good chance to lynch scum, but is not scumhunting himself. These post seems just a way to pressure others to jump on the bandwagon Mocsta has been building on me. Very scummy. TL;DR: He is leading others while his contributions remain subpar. Not giving information is a huge scumtell and not voting for your top scum read while constantly changing it without reasonings is really scummy. If Mocsta doesn't flip scum, I'm utterly confused.

Too tired to defend myself against Omnis case, but if look through it carefully, you will see that some of the points he made are fabricated and overemphasizes some others. For instance I never claimed to good at anything nor have I ever stated to suspect him.

If that is the case, I hope you have good time with the rest of the game and really hope you lynch scum on D3.

The only thing that might save you today from my vote is if Mocsta believes his read on Spag is strong enough to justify changing the vote. Otherwise my vote will be staying on you. One other thing that might save you is if you can claim JK and prove that you were the one who RB'd me. (I assume it was town as mafia RB just does NOT make sense on me.)
Would you please address the points you think are false specifically? As for my actions on Mocsta, I tried to put myself in the shoes of a town Mocsta, but did not find reasons as to why he would not answear my question.

I don't think we can call anyone a lurker yet. It has been only 12 hours since the game started, and no analysis/cases have been posted. Once we get a case rolling, be it a scum or town read, we can get discussion and opinions. The only action so far is Mocstas vote for cDgcorazon based on metaread from the one game he played earlier. I'm reading through Newbie Mini Mafia XXXIII to get an idea the meta of others. Expect some analysis in while.
As to why you shouldn't lynch the current me: I prefer only to post if it has a meaning. Answearing questing and asking them. Sharing my reads on someone. Unnecessary spam just clutters the thread and hides important post.
StriX is certainly a person worth questioning. Using your own newbines as an argument is usually associated with being scum, not to mention he hasn't posted much. He has no contributions to speak of. So StriX: - Who are analysing/suspecting? - Do you have any prior mafia experience outside TL?
@All Keep the spam like weather updates out of this thread. It only helps the mafia. He has certaintly stayed true to his posting policy, the problem being that almost nothing he has posted has had any strong content or have much of a meaning. He soft claims newbie in his first post saying "this is my first time playing forum mafia..." and then in his next post hits StriX with suspicion for doing the exact same thing. This early in the game I would also mention that creating a friendly town atmosphere with a few mindless comments about the weather is only threatening to scum. They don't want a love-fest among the townies and at best the weather comment was neutral and wasn't going anywhere. It seems odd to be so opposed to it so early in the game. If you read carefully, you will see that this is a refernece to my /in post.

If still a target, I suggest you demonstrate your conviction with a vote; otherwise, begin to identify alternative candidates. 1. I'm starting to yes. Again, bare minimum response. 2.

Seems to defeat the purpose - Much easier to wait for a mistake then tell someone your watching them and expect one. Not to mention you could create one self fulfilling prophecy style. I guess we have different definitions of top scum reads as I really don't feel supporting no lynch is one. Perhaps in a high level (it'd probably be a meta play there actually) game but not in newbie mafia. Defends letting go of zarepaths pressure with a different playstyle. I guess it's easier to spot things when people point them out to you. Honestly forgot you're the one who gave me the names and neglected to check out the others in more detail. Will now be aware of the leading nature of your questions towards myself.
Acknowledges that so far all his actions have been because Mocsta requested him to act. In his last post he defends his vote on TeMiL with some previous game he played. Overall, he has no contributions to speak of and some of his plays are scummy. ##Vote StriX His case on StriX. Which you don't even analyse. Why mention if you don't analyse it?Which I believe he admits to being weak later. "My case on StriX may be "weak" but nothing to me suggest that a better case can made for now." There are quotation marks there for a reason. I did not believe my case was weak. In fact, if you look at your case on Strix you can see that you only have one point that I didn't have in my case. How is your case any stronger?
He then has his brief dispute with Cora, I tried to think of this from both perspectives and from a scum point of view I believe Cora who has been making great observations all game, and is giving a potential scum player a very hard time while making logical arguments and defending other townies from cases using the same deduction would seem extremely dangerous. I know people have complained that this is me reading too far into things but it is still a factor and should be taken into consideration. the obs QT in NMM XXXIII briefly mentioned my NK when I was pressuring Cora and made a case on FC in the process even though Mocsta was clearly the strongest town. From the scum QT's I've read they always look closest at townies who are the biggest threat and the closest to exposing them for the NK N1. Only scum know excatly why a NK is made. As Spag points out, if all NK where targetted towards players suspicious of actuall scum, this game would be way easier.
Then we have + Show Spoiler +which was prompted by Mocsta I believe. This entire post has essentially no meaning. It's one large summary and the questions at the end are mediocre at best and easy to come up with. There is no new information in the entire post. This is when I began to seriously look at Jampi as possible scum. He has still up to this point failed to contribute largely to any scum hunt, and the case he admits was weak was made on a confirmed town at this point. If he knew StriX was town it would explain why he didn't push more for his lynch but instead sat back and did not contribute and let us lynch him, as I've said previously. He even tries to say after StriX lynch that I look the most suspicious for making my case on him and pushing for his lynch when he voted for the same target first. Where do I state this?

Has said I was suspicious, and AGAIN tries to force Mocsta of all people to continue to make cases on me. Did he even read Mocsta's case on me? (Mocsta's case was made before this) It's almost like he doesn't have an opinion on it, or he doesn't care. He said he like to share his opinions on people. Holy shit here's a prime opportunity to say anything he wants about me and he tries to push it onto Mocsta? Scum behavior. Massive scum read on him from this post. This has made him my #1 scum read at this point. So Mocsta pressuring you and then suddenly stopping, is not a good enough reason to pressure him?
Then we get into the JK/RB debate and the only thing he is really talking about is which set-up we might have. He never goes into detail and only corrects Syl on which roles are in which scenario. He continues to push Mocsta for his opinion on me and whether or not he thinks I am still scum. Usually when someone answears your question with something like not having enough time, you bring the question back later. At this point I'd really hope Jampi would have his own opinion on me. FFS I even told him I would welcome any questions he had on me but he says nothing. He then tries to accuse Mocsta as being scum, I'm not against somebody trying to do this, I think Mocsta could pull it off and we'd be screwed in a newbie game but the way he does it... I did not have a strong opinion on you at that time.
"I urge everyone to go through Mocstas filter and re-evaluate, if his truly is town. His only big contributions are the cases on Omni and TeMiL, which reek of utter bullshit. Other than that he has just been leading the town to the direction he wants with his questions." - Jampi
Why is his case on me Bullshit? I didn't agree with a lot of it and I think most of it was personal opinion with very little facts but I have the advantage of knowing I'm town. YOU(jampi) Do not. YOU(jampi) Have claimed I was suspicious and should be looked at thoroughly and have said absolutely nothing to take that opinion back. If you don't agree with the points I made on Mocsta case on you, why not address these points specifically?
He then promises a larger case on Mocsta and here we are. He hasn't posted a single thing after that. He has no motivation to help town and quite honestly hasn't tried to help town at all this game. He has not followed up on what he claimed he was good at in his first post. Some of these arguments are weak and some are my personal view on things but there are many facts in how he has played that make him seem like mafia. This is why I said he is easily my choice for lynch tonight. Sorry Syl I didn't explain myself out thoroughly and that is my fault. I hope this helps you see how I have come to this conclusion. My case on Mocsta took me really long to make. Addressing almost every post a player has made is not something you do in an hour.

I was role blocked. This is curious. Why would OmniEulogy be roleblocked? A jailkeeper would target someone he believes will be killed. Scum had no motivation to kill Omni, because he was the other suspicious player D1 and thus would be pressured at least N1, if not D2 potentially leading to another misslynch. Many pointed that if StriX flips town (which he did), Omni would be very suspicious. A jailkeeper could also potentially target a scumread in hopes that a) he is scum and b) he carries out the nightkill. Even if he was 100% sure that Omni was scum, that would still only lead to 50/50 chance of blocking the kill. Thus I don't this is likely. A scum roleblocker would target Omni if he thought he had a blue role. A scum roleblocker might target Omni in hopes that he claims and someone suspects this claim. @All Should townies always claim being roleblocked in this setup? Do you think the scum roleblocker would target Omni? Or do think he faked the claim? Or do you have any better reasoning for a jailkeeper to target Omni? This is attempted analysis, but it doesn't say anything at all. Doesn't state if he thinks it's a RB or JK, it's just statements which could have been drawn pretty easily by anyone. I have bolded some parts of my orginal post where I say that a JK targetting Omni would not make sense.
The case on Mocsta is the only other big post on day 2, it's not really a solid case either. It honestly rates about the same level as Strix's case he posted which I said was weak on Day 1 as well. Mocsta had asked for comments on his case on Omni. While reading through it with care I noticed that Mocsta had fabricated some of the evidence in his case. Posting some thoughs on it would help Mocsta then give his opinion on them. But after reading through it again before posting, I became very suspicious. I checked his filter and it confirmed my suspicions. I decided to post it to see his response. Voting on him then and there just made the reactions more extreme. And as I stated in post, I had to leave after posting.

If they are careful and appear as townies, we don't have a way of identifying them as scum. Just flying under the radar while townies aggressively blame eachother leading to a misslynch is a perfect mafia D1. Jampi, you're flying under the radar more than pretty much anyone here. Are you following your own advice or are you just playing badly? Some may say I'm playing badly, some may say that I'm not interested in the game, some may say I'm a passive player, some may say I'm afraid to post, some may I have a real life. But I don't think my actual answear matters to you, as you can just pass it as an excuse for not contributing.
@Mocsta: Now that I have answeared all the question, it is your turn. Answear me. You claim that my case for you is weak, if this is true, then go ahead and rip it apart. I bet you cannot actually do that.

EBWOP: @Mocsta: ... If you are actually town, this does not hurt you at all.
@Everyone else: You too can look through my case on Mocsta, and then either rip it apart or join to pressure Mocsta.

@Mocsta: I'm present right now, but will leave on a short notice. I will be back in about 8 hours. I still find it hard to believe that you were actually town, but after looking at Omnis post 80 line 46 word 8, I quess I'll have to accept that you are town. If you can give me your questions at around 8 hours from now I will be able to answear them pretty much right away. After answearing them I will look at Sylencias actions and his filter, hopefully convincing you gyus that he is the one you should lynch.

You specifically mention "flying under the radar" as a good mafia trait to perfect. Your filter is 1.5 pages; and many confirmed townies have questioned your post integrity. Anyone would think that low post count, and low quality count is equivalent to flying under the radar... a trait you mention is mafia aligned. I think we don't agree on the meaning of the phrase "flying under the radar". To me it means to go unnoticed, that is to say, acting so that no suspicions of you arise. To you it seems to mean not posting. If my intention was not to rise suspicions, I would have acted, since almost everyone in this game had the policy of "lynch all lurkers" or at least "suspect all lurkers".

StriX does not have a scum read, so votes a lurker.. You call him out for this? Is that not odd? While it is acceptable to lynch a lurker if you have no scumread, that should done as close to the deadline as possible. While you may not have a scumread on anyone, someone else may have. In the orginal post where I state my stance on lurkers I say
Lurkers contribute nothing to town, so if we don't get a scumread, I think lynching a lurker is fine D1. We as in all of us. Not just one.
I happened to notice that StriX voted TeMiL.... a confirmed MAFIA.. do you not find it odd that when Strix votes a mafia player.. you retaliate by voting Strix? Three other players voted on StriX, not just me. If my suspicions of StriX would be just him voting for TeMiL, why would others have voted for him?

@zarepath... What is odd is that you acknowledge TeMiL votes for you (out of nowhere)... yet the 3 people you choose to question further are Spag, Mocsta and zarepath (all confirmed town). The rest of your filter does not question TeMiL...is it not odd that you accept this vote, and do not challenge it? Others had already questioned TeMiL enough for me. I could see that he was not responding to anything, so why ask if I wouldn't get an answear? Instead I chose to question the ones that were at that point the most suspicious to me, Spag for his big posts that were on policies and acting in way that would allow him to jump on any bandwagon on almost anyone, zare for jumping on bandwagons and not giving the analysis promised, you for being sure that StriX would flip town.

So you admit I am establishing a town image, and by being protown implies only town motives.. yet you make a case on me? A protown image is when you are trying to appear as useful to town. A protown player is useful to the town agenda. What I was perhaps too confusingly saying is that you were making plays that appear protown, but actually are not, since your accusations were all over the place and were not concentrated to help you pressure your top scumread. Maybe establish wasn't the right word. And yes I'm stating that my english isn't on par with you native speakers.
Between your summary post, and the case on me. The only content you discussed pertained to setups. You did not actively scum hunt, and contribute in the on going discussion.
The time that elapsed between your summary post and the case on me was approximately 30 hrs. I understand you want all your posts to be meaningful; but that is not an acceptable time span between meaningful contributions.
If anything, it looks like "flying under the radar" a trait you described earlier in question (a) as a scum tendency. I was hoping that my speculation would have given an in-between-the-lines meaning of "I'm accusing Omni of faking the claim and thus being scum", which would then have prompted you to defend or attack him. Sadly this was not case, maybe I should have just openly stated the hidden meaning. Remember, at that time I though you were scum and you were not answearing my question.

Leaning towards town Something in that bolded area seems off to me. @Jampi could you clarify when you say everybody should check the QT link they get in their PM? The OP provided the role PMs for each role. In the scum role PMs there is a direct link to the scum QT... Your response was pretty standard answer to a question that any alignment could respond with. Considering all the questions I have regarding you above.. the behaviour patterns are looking scummy. Of course, I offered that olive branch, so in being open minded: Combining all the information I am now aware of, OmniEulogy question to you, appears as a genuine scum slip (on your behalf). I don't quite understand what the accused slip is here? If you are talking about the one Omni asked about, I already answeared that to him, and you even quoted that post, so why are you asking again? If you are talking about something else, I don't understand it from your phrasing.

Zare, do you have any questions to me? I am online right now, but will be gone after about 2 hours. It would benefit you to have your questions answeared immediately so that you have as much time as possible to decide between me and Syl.

@Zare: By process of elimination: I know I'm town. Spag claimed to have checked you and said you were town, when Spag flipped cop you became confirmed town. Omni claimed to block Mocsta last night so that a kill by Mocsta would not have gone through. So when Omni flipped JK, Mocsta became confirmed town. The only one left is Sylencia, so he must be mafia.
@Syl: I didn't feel a need to pressure TeMiL. Allmost everyone was already doing that at allmost every point it was relevant. I did not considers lynching TeMiL an option if I could lynch my top scumread instead.
As to why would TeMiL vote for the same target as you: Due to the logic you stated, TeMiL flipping scum is a way to reduce your suspicions. I actually believe that from the start, your idea was to use TeMiL only as a way to make you seem less scummy. That is why you were not afraid to lynch him during D2. You realised that TeMiL would not be able to play as well as you do and you made him your endgame gambit.
