Another townie bit I noticed about someone else was Obi saying "I don't have the grasp of what's going on in this game and that bothers me" which is something a townie will be subject to, not a scum. Don't see much reason for a scum to post such a thing. Just a thought that came to my mind and I'd like to share. Having narrowed down the list of the NKs suspects eliminating ritoky, I'd focus more on Fecalfeast and the fact that I don't see him being pushed a lot, overall he doesn't have anything memorable to begin with and that usually alarms me. Playing doto atm will analyse him thoroughly afterwards. | ||

Contributes nothing to the discussion, in fact degrades it by hitting at the credibility of others without any reason.

If you look at the final count I was on 27nb Claiming credit for nothing (ninjavoting 27nb at the last moments). And so on. Mostly sheeping and making useless comments all around. | ||

By the way, mass claiming IS okay now, as a lot of vts died. It will narrow our lynches A LOT I know the balance team hates mass claims so I'd wager a bet that this setup is rigged not to favor them overall. For example, there's that Branch Manager role to kill VT's and killing Cop/Doc would naturally be nice for scum. Well, there *is* the point that Scrooge died so early. It might now be just barely worth it. I can't imagine it being an overall optimal strategy though. Not sold on the HF push either. If HF is still alive at LYLO, it should probably be considered. Overall GB's D2 doesn't seem productive for town, but at least he's doing stuff, so maybe he shouldn't be a lynch option today. | ||

Most arguments are based purely on his gift claiming and scumreading somebody off that is insanity, if you want to convince me you will need more than that.

Who do you mean specifically though? I think HF is town and LS is probably too (his claim shenanigans seemed pretty genuine). HTS and rsoultin could be candidates, I guess. | ||

Either he's A) fakeclaiming having opened the present and actually planning to pass it on while eating a KP/RB or B) actually opened the present and still wanting to eat a KP/RB. Option A seems to make much more sense as town, but naturally he wouldn't want to admit that now if possible. Option B is a bit stupid, since he could get all the benefits of option B without actually wasting the present with option A, but I don't think it's all that implausible either. As a solo town player he wouldn't have the scumteam coaching him and his judgment may have been faulty. That at least seems more likely than him doing this play as scum with a whole team coaching him..... I'm thinking the mechanics through with the present, do you really think a scumteam would believe what he had or would they just try and continue to rolehunt? Also I'm just trying to understand why any town would claim any present period (and especially what Ritoky has claimed) when scum have the advantage in KP (across all nights, not just the one night the present is used) and I would imagine the proportion of blue roles to VTs/named VTs is still small. Absolutely I agree Tube is scum and he needs to go at this point, but I think a few of us were worried about that extra KP. I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. | ||

I'm not sure what you mean in the first paragraph? The most sensible explanation (out of all the possible explanations) for ritoky's claim is that he's fakeclaiming it as town to eat a kill/RB. The second most sensible explanation seems to be that he actually opened it and revealed it as town (same approach as the first explanation but with the drawback of wasting the present so it's pretty stupid). I think the least likely explanation is that he's scum and the scumteam somehow thought this was a great plan.... *facepalm* | ||

(town and scum) and how the other side would react. But you are right, scum have a lot less to gain and a lot more to lose. It is possible he could have made an honest mistake with claiming too. Since Tubesock is the most likely scum given the slip, I'll go ahead and change my vote. I've had FF scumlisted for awhile given the inconsistencies, not answering the questions (as I cited before) and continued apathy, but Tube is definitely the better lynch at this point. He still hasn't explained that post. | ||

Her 'easy scum read' is in her scum pile because only scum is looking for easy scum reads... One interesting bit I find in retrospect is this one. He wanted to talk about the 27nb stuff apparently and when catching up with his comment he seems to rehearse what HF said but without taking any opinion on it. 27nb also doesn't appear in his further reasoning.

It's the sort of stuff people can use to say "but look I have made reads", or if you question their validity they can say "nah man I was just joking as a reply" as they see fit in a specific moment. Needs clearing up from FF. ______________________ Another matter is how he starts the game going after Alakaslam in a dramatic sumo-suit fashion.

Yet he tries it at the start of the game but sees 27nb as a secondary issue he barely comments on. As of now I'd lynch this guy for making so little sense and talking about stuff that should be irrelevant to him (Alakaslam), and when he pretends it's relevant (comment on 27nb without ever further elaborating something on her) it really isn't. Overall his play is a pain to read and I have a hard time imagining him as town. | ||

Also who would have gave him a present anyway. Did gb claim to? I find it odd no third player claimed to have a present to give its so townie to say this only me and gb did. That means to me its probably in mafia hands so claiming he has it makes some sense. Expect another present claim when were about to lynch a mafia because I think they have one in there possession. regardless if its ritokys or not. | ||

Perhaps the most scummy single post from him, I think, was where he claimed credit for his 27nb vote even though it was just a late sheep/ninjavote. | ||

Anyway, I think it's an important topic to discuss at some point. All I'm reading are things that don't really make people mafia, which worries me. I can easily see HF as mafia in this game. I need a computer to properly show why. | ||
