Hurricane, I am deeply disappointed in you. You need to consider what the mafia team could possibly be at this point if Alakaslam is mafia.

Alakaslam could be a Town Tracker, and Onegu could be a Mafia Tracker.
Onegu could be Town Watcher, and Alakaslam could be a Mafia Tracker.
Equally likely scenarios under Occam's Razor. You are going to have to start bringing a lot more heat to the table, LoneMeow. Your leash is running out fast.

I have, haven't you? If we get a alakaslam mislynch, do you not see two immediate Mafia lynches lined up?

LoneMeow looks like scum to me now, but that is reliant on a 'Slam mislynch.
Slam, buddy, I'm sorry if you are town, but your death will not have been in vain.

I do.
I am asking what you think the mafia team is if Alakaslam is mafia.
Do you think I am mafia if Alakaslam is mafia? If not, who is?
I am assuming StiM, but who else?

Ironically, Alakaslam flipping as Mafia gives me the LEAST amount of information regarding endgame scenarios. As far as shaping reads, we'd get the most info from a successful Onegu scum lynch, then roughly equivalent useful information from an Onegu mislynch or a 'Slam mislynch. Lastly, we'd get the least information (but still some) from a successful 'Slam scum lynch.

This is exactly my point. If this is your position, then why is your vote currently on Alakaslam? Your actions aren't matching up with your words.

You just stated that this is the order of most information to least information gained:
Onegu Scum Lynch
Onegu Mislynch=Alakaslam Mislynch
Alakaslam Scum Lynch
Clearly lynching Onegu gives us more information than Alakaslam, therefore it is the optimal decision.

Ok i am off to sleep, if I am lynched GG lynch Alakaslam asap.

1. We can't guarantee that Onegu will flip scum.
2. The information we'd gain from an Onegu mislynch is inconsistent with the rest of the game.
3. The information we'd gain from an Alakaslam mislynch paints a very clear picture (and immediately implicates two people as mafia)
4. We can't guarantee that 'Slam will flip scum.
1 and 4 cancel out. You pick the best results from the remaining set (2 and 3). 3's results look WAY more likely than 2.

Or they could be bussing and trying to get ahead of the wagon. you ever consider scum splitting up the votes? Also suprising you didnt apply this logic to the xzavier vote. 7 people were on him and you didnt go "oh shit this guy has to be town," no you kept your vote on him and lied to get others to join. You cant use this logic when you completely ignored it in the past.

If we were out of time and needed a big play, yes. But a mislynch results in a 2-for-1 trade (2 mafia die after the mislynch). We have the luxury of taking advantage of that play (barely).
Obviously, we'd ideally get a mafia flip. But I'm not going to bet the farm that Onegu will flip scum, because if he doesn't, we're left with a much less plausible scenario than if 'Slam were to be mislynched.

If you truly believe 2. is true, wouldn't you also have to agree that the Onegu mislynch is unlikely BECAUSE it is inconsistent with the rest of the game?
I think the problem is that we see the same issue with the Onegu mislynch, but I attribute it to the fact the Onegu is scum and you are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is town because of it.
Of course, you can see it both ways, but I would say that these two scenarios are equally likely and thus should cancel out. You cannot say this inconsistency makes Onegu more likely to be town.
I ask you again. If Alakaslam is mafia, who constitutes the rest of his team? What are your reads?

If what I'm saying doesn't make sense to anyone else, speak up now. I need to make my logic crystal clear before the vote. If there are flaws in my argument, don't keep it to yourself. TELL ME so I have time to re-evaluate my position.

Likely, my reads would be StiM and LoneMeow. I'd have to briefly re-evaluate you, Spicy and HZ. There are more open ends with that situation than any other, but the point is moot because we'd have lynched a mafia, which is good.

The information gained from the mislynches would not cancel out because the information gained is not equally plausible.

I would suggest relooking at tofu now as he's heavily trying to change your vote. He's already proven once that he lies to get a vote on a townie, and then again this morning he tried lying to me to get more to vote on onegu. He's also been wrong about most of the connections between people in this game (ie me and xzavier being scum buddies, onegu's town read being me or hz).

The time will come for that. A tofu lynch is not productive for the town at this juncture.

I did consider it, but have since ruled it out as a possibility. We have already established that either Onegu or Alakaslam MUST be mafia.
This puts mafia in an awkward position. They need to save their teammate because a lynch on them would spiral out of control and likely end up with multiple mafia lynches through consecutive days.
If Alakaslam is mafia, StiM will likely get lynched the following day.
If Onegu is mafia, we get (basically) get another confirmed mafia the next day.
Thus, I do not think that mafia, in this circumstance, would be willing to give up two of their members just to split the vote and appear innocent. They must choose the same wagon to prevent a snowball effectno matter which one flips mafia.
Again, I want to reiterate that I am not voting Onegu because he is 100% scum. I believe the evidence against Onegu outweighs anything placed on Alakaslam. I also cannot see how or why a scum team would tell the flustering and bumbling Alakaslam to claim.
Alakaslam genuinely looks like he is acting independently of any external input(aside from maybe a town coach).
