i just stopped by cuz kid in middle of night. didn't really read much of what you posted there vivax cuz i don't trust my reading comprehension atm.

generally speaking you have made your way to the middle/lower end of my PoE because 1) your game investment and investment in the last lynch feels like it has gone down over time 2) you didn't lynch mafia 3) your tinfoil/crackpot theories have felt contained/not committed to.

a lot of that is my perception of you over the course of the game, but something about perception, reality, and their relationship.

I tinfoil when I feel it's necessary, sometimes only late in the game, you should know that from Guardians of the Galaxy when I only scumread universally townread Toad the night I got killed.

My game investment is as high as it can be when my mafia meta is to have large posting gaps during a day. I feel I have been posting very consistently during the day.

And if you base your game around who lynches mafia and who doesn't without looking at it in detail you don't know how this game works.

And I also feel you should know your place when marv, rayn and yamato all TR me throughout their lives, people I've been playing with for several years.
Cause not only are they confirmed town, they're also not as new around here as you are and I figure that their reads are worth more than yours.

This is probably going to kinda piss you off but it's how it is. I keep reading their filters as well.

Not really, I am historically dogshit as town outside of day 1. On day 1 I am legit godly, but otherwise I am crappy as town. I mean look, I just lynched against what I thought was right and hit mafia, that's how little faith I have in my own town capabilities.

The rayn/marv/yamato defense won't work sorry. They all TR onegu and he was mafia, I invalidate that completely. Maybe my perception of you is altered cuz you post while I sleep a lot of the times.

Alright vivax, I have a question for you. I am going to provoke your thoughts, then probably pass out before you finish your response cuz it's almost 4am.

What do you think about chroma post onegu flip? AND If GB is or flips town what do you think of chroma?

also "who lynched mafia" on a split vote that required a hammer isn't a bad metric if you know it was mafia vs town. 1 component missing unfortunately; but still dun playa hate

Hm yes... I guess ritoky is actually quite unlikely scum regardless of what GB flips :/ So I guess it's ultimately GB/hopeless/Vivax (in some order) until we win?

Well, I think I'll be meeting you all in the post-game since absolutely nobody has tried to push me for some time... While everyone else has been pushed to some extent Or possibly BH, but who knows?

My last will would be for everyone to sheep BH/gumshoe as much as they can. They seem to know what they're doing here and both are 99% likely town IMO.

Here's something I just thought of:

You're GB and you're town. You KNOW 100% that the wagons were mafia-town, and the vote went through 5-4. Here are the votes against you:

Onegu (confirmed mafia)
Chromatically (your townread who's been pushing you)
Vivax (your #1 scumread all game)
Hopeless (complete lurker you've been calling scum all game)

So... a Vivax-Hopeless team should be pretty obvious from a town GB perspective, right? Instead, GB is assuming that Onegu was a complete bus from both mafia (who didn't hammer GB for some reason?), when he logically should see that all the scummiest people in the game (from his perspective) were piled on his wagon (who he should know is town).

Hmm....

Yeah, that's a bit odd. Would make sense if GB is scum with either hopeless or Vivax though.

I've started to doubt gumshoe since he started planting the idea that I'm mafia as opposed to people who are competent at reading me.

I was assuming his posting style made him town all game long but given that 2 mafia are planning the endgame now and he has started to doing all sorts of shady shit, I'm reevaluating.

Take a look at this post, it's from D1. When you look at the votecounts in question you will notice that nobody ever had a chance to kill Onegu cause marv and rayn were both on the slam wagon with huge support from others.

Point I'm making is that this read is weird given the information we have now, and suggests gumshoe had knowledge of how to read people around Onegu's alignment. Another example: When he went all nuts and Chrom-defender after I told Chrom that if he wanted Onegu's reads he could simply look them up.

Ritoky's switch onto Onegu last second makes very little sense as scum, if Onegu is town and gets bussed last sec, Ritoky looks terrible. If Onegue is scum, he just helped kill his teamate 0_0 seems like a dumb and unnecessary risk when town is already fixated on slam.

It's possible Ritoky was super confident Bh's lynch wouldn't go through, but then why bother at all? Just to distance himself from the slam lynch? Could backfire huge if Onegu actually did get lynched (would look like a last second buss off of Ritoky's buddy slam)


As you will soon see, neither was ritoky's switch "last second" (it happened 12 min prior lynch), nor does it make sense for gumshoe to make the assumption that ritoky is town cause if Onegu was town ritoky would look terrible.

And I think this is a nail in the coffin type of argument already, cause now I'm explaining it like you're 12.

First of all, he's exaggerating the weight of what ritoky really did: Last second switch, killig Onegu when the majority was on Slam all the time and didn't have any intention to switch.
Second, he's making this argument in which he spews Onegu's alignment (and ritoky's with the entire post).

Second, he's using this logic:

"Since ritoky would look terrible if Onegu flipped town, he is town".

at a time where he couldn't possibly be certain on Onegu's alignment, and also wasn't in his scumreads posts.
He literally assumed 100 % that Onegu was mafia when making this post.

Here the relevant votes, for display:

I don't see what's wrong with his logic? I don't see how he assumed that Onegu was mafia during his post. He says if Onegu is mafia, then ritoky can't be mafia, and if Onegu is town, then ritoky can't be mafia either, therefore ritoky is town. Maybe he's exaggerating/giving too much weight to the argument, but I don't see how it's scummy.

Yeah, exactly because he needs two mislynches to win, so he can't survive if we lynch into {GB/Hopeless/Vivax} in that world. He has to convince people on gumshoe or someone else.

Tbh it's a bit hard to see Vivax playing so actively as scum, but it would explain well all the scumsiding (especially the recent Onegu saving attempt and now pushing gumshoe...).

Yeah... Well, will be interesting how the LYLO plays out. I'm quite sure the scumteam is in that new trio, but you can never be 100% certain.

Hmm... Just a thought... Maybe Vivax tried to get me to vote for GB because GB was generally a bit more suspected, some Onegu-lyncher could be shot at night, leaving Vivax/Onegu in a pretty strong position to win from the credit of GB's lynch and lessened suspicions on Onegu? hopeless would have probably been lynched next, and then maybe GB, but then it would be something like gumshoe/Chromatically/Vivax at LYLO... Vivax could have likely convinced Chromatically after helping to lynch GB... Hm.

I guess rayn could have just been wrong on ritoky. He was wrong on me and Onegu as well.
