BOOM give the man a cookie. so, wait, I don't understand. clearly you're not saying rayn was scum and therefore lynching him wouldn't be a mislynch. You're saying... what, that he was unlikely to get lynched? That was true of several people, especially you and me, but basically anyone but GB H1 and 1G.

Like I really don't see how this is a useful piece of information, or what this deduction is.

rayn dying means scum felt they couldn't mislynch him.
scum not bieng able to mislynch him means at least 2 out of three scum are town reading him and to turn around and lynch him for no real reason would be super scummy of them.
Is this really such a stretch?
Basically my argument is that the majority of the scum team couldn't lynch rayn cause they were town reading rayn.
No it's not game ending, but it is useful information to cross refrence with what you all already know.
Def not "gumshoe dafack are you doing" worthy 0_0
I don't think you're necessarily wrong but imagine this
"scum shot rayn because of the way scum votes were on him-- they realized that it wouldn't be possible to lynch him without at least 3 townies changing from townreading rayn to scumreading him. since this was impossible, there was no way for him to get lynched."
This is a good summary of your thoughts, right?
well this describes pertty well a situation with all scum not voting rayn, but it ALSO describes a situation where scum are voting rayn and literally all townies think he's town. Like, AND AGAIN, I'm not saying this is true, just pointing out the gap in your logic, it's totally possible that someone gets shot and before he was shot scum were trying to push him and town was resisting.
In any case, all of it doesn't matter, it's not a point in 1G's defense that your explanation is quite strange. Like, think about it this way-- the explanation could explain any distribution of scum. In any case, lynch 1G

Theres a good chance were arguing over nothing here but if you really really want to lynch gb or hopeless over 1gu, be my guest. I dont really wanna spend time arguing over what smells worse between trash and used condoms /  i would like to think its the condoms) My lynches for the next 4 days are basically locked so none of this really matters in my opinion. I'm just going for the person I feel are the scummiest atm, but if I had something REALLY concrete I woulda brought it up by now. Also My lynches are based way more on who I consider town to be honest (there are 4 people that I just flat out dont plan on lynching this game, barring something crazy), as my scum reading is historically kinda shit / :
yeah at some level I feel like we're arguing gray vs grey here, we're probably lynching all three anyways

Hmmm, actually, this is a fair argument in favor of changing the order. If we really do plan on lynching all three, but are worried one of 1G / H1 are town (or both) and feel good about GB as mafia... it could explain the reluctance to swap. It's an associative tell about an unflipped player, but the analysis intrinsically offers a solution: flip the player.

Could also explain the rayn NK as trying to shake things up, and rayn's scumread on GB/ritoky....
But there are some problems with that team. For example, ritoky eagerly jumped on Onegu D1, and again voted for GB D2. GB has also pushed Onegu lately. Could be bussing I guess, but especially ritoky is a bit hard to explain.
Even if that's the case, though, I don't think that's a reason to change from our current lynch target. We don't even have to have weird ideas to want to lynch into the GB/1G/H1 group

I am not saying scum were the only ones pushing rayn. I'm just saying your logc, which again, seems to be pretty strange, could be used to prove both "scum were all on rayn" and "no scum were on rayn". If you are using a heuristic or piece of logic and it can prove anything easily, it should be allowed to fail. The problem with this idea that "scum weren't able to lynch rayn, therefore scum are X, Y, and Z" fails because it explains too much. If an explanation can explain literally any outcome, it has no predictive value.
I actually went back and found the quote that first explained this concept to me, so you too can learn:
In Munich in the days of the great theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld (1868–1954), trolley cars were cooled in summer by two small fans set into their ceilings. When the trolley was in motion, air flowing over its top would spin the fans, pulling warm air out of the cars. One student noticed that although the motion of any given fan was fairly random—fans could turn either clockwise or counterclockwise—the two fans in a single car nearly always rotated in opposite directions. Why was this? Finally he brought the problem to Sommerfeld.
“That is easy to explain,” said Sommerfeld. “Air hits the fan at the front of the car first, giving it a random motion in one direction. But once the trolley begins to move, a vortex created by the first fan travels down the top of the car and sets the second fan moving in precisely the same direction.”
“But, Professor Sommerfeld,” the student protested, “what happens is in fact the opposite! The two fans nearly always rotate in different directions.”
“Ahhhh!” said Sommerfeld. “But of course that is even easier to explain.”

He's kinda ignoring two guys who want to lynch him and who rayn scumread? Then I'd like to know his own reasoning for the reads. why didn't you let onegu explain T_T it was a twap.
given onegu's words per day it would take another 72 hours to hear back from him

Dropped a vote on hopeless and went to bed thinking "one for the team".
yeah honestly nothing that's happened has made me think "lynching GB 1G H1 is bad"
it's all consistent

Thats very true, but we have a certain context to clash against my argument, which gives it some utility. heres the frame my argument provides. Scum want to win, scum need to mislynch townies, rayn on paper is the most mislynchable townie, but they shot him, so clearly there was some reason that scum were not confident in mislynching him. There are two possibilities. 1: The majority of Scum are pushing rayn and the rest of town are opposed, which would mean a combination of xatalos, ritoky, gb and vivax, 2 of which, vivax and gb, cant be scum together, and the other 2 arent likely scum based of thier play. so not real hit there. 2: The majority of scum are town reading rayn for varius reasons, and cannot switch to him without contradicting themselves. townies fairly vehemently oposed to rayn bieng scum (hopeless, gumshoe, onegu, bh chromatically) three of these players, me you and chrom, appear townie from thier play, but hopeless and onegu do fit the mold of a majority scum team that cannot mislynch rayn because they are townreading him. Basically when you cross refrence scummy play with the argument that most of sum are townreading rayn and therefore cannot mislynch him, and the argument that most of scum are scum reading him therefore they cannot lynch him, this is the only real hit you get.Does that make sense? Imagine the two possibilities of the fan argument, but consider as well that there are markings on the wall that suggest one rotation as opposed to the other. That's how one would figure the truth in such a matter.
Yeah, I get what you're getting at, I just don't really think it's the most relevant to figuring out the alignments. In any case, we're in agreement, so it's all good.

That you just flail around lynches without wanting one, basically.
What do I think of that? I don't. I think it's pretty clear I'm town and I haven't felt any need to defend myself this game. When I spend time, I typically spend it analyzing, writing cases, and hunting scum. If you have particular questions for me, I'm glad to answer them, but I think my work speaks for itself. It IS true that I tried shennannies two days in a row, and both times failed-- but I don't think that is scummy at all.
Could I have been more effective about shennannies? Sure, I think if I had been a bit more clear on organizing the D2 shennannies, it might have worked. Looking back on it, it seems we actually had a majority of people wanting to lynch 1G over Yam. At the time, though, it was hard to tell that based on facts on the ground, and many people stubbornly refused to move off of yam (which is the prerogative). The fact my shennanigans didn't work out isn't because I'm scum, it's just there wasn't the will in the town for them to happen.
As it is today, I see no reason for shennannies so you won't see any from me. I think we've got this game wrapped up and am not worried; either wagon is fine.
