Ok I might be slightly stupid, but I swear this mission is going to fail. This game is way too easy right now. And the spy isn't Vivax. It's one of Silver/sharkie.

Silverika is too indignant to be scum.

Vivax is actually coming up with a lot of thought out scum pairings without trying too hard to be town read. Plus he said right off the bat that Silver/I aren't scum, which is a good thing from my perspective.

Tumblewood/Artanis are both like "I think Grack could definitely be scum here. Full steam ahead guys!"
##Accept. Plus Tumblewood is super blendy while Rtanisoul seems to mainly be trying to buddy Silver.

Everyone else seems to be showing at least some level of skepticism over the team.

I think we are (were) at similar points in this game.

Another issue with grack as scum for me, is that when I look at sl's play it completely turned at mission 1. I'm thinking through if sl passes mission 1 for a town read on either sharkie/silver. If you look at all the reasons that he fails attempt 3 vs attempt 4: it's grack not on the team, leader not on the team, and not silver nominating VS silver on the team anyways, sharkie on the team, and leader still not on team. I don't see how town sl votes down my team by votes up vivax's team, so sl as scum conditions my read on grack as well.

Also given this:

Right now I see the game in terms of 3 groups (listed in no particular order):

The definite town:
Grackaroni

The townie feels
Artanisoul
Vivax
Sharkie

The people without townie feels
Emperorchampion

The one of these two is scum group
Tumblewood
Superbia

The definite scum

I still think at least one of Super/Tumble will be red.

Don't see grack/sl, putting his team mate at the bottom, don't think scum usually does that. Especially since I think that grack has pretty easy out for a town read on sl earlier.

Pretty sure given the interactions silver/sl is not a team. Maybe I'm just mega tunneled but I'm also running out of places to look, I'm in an sl/sharkie world right now.

I dunno, I don't have the same issue of grack/sl not being a team. SL has played an incredibly low-effort game and pretty much everyone and their mom has scumread him. It'd be difficult for Grack to get any mission in with SL on it so there's not much harm done by bussing him. Plus, if thread sentiment changes, he can change his position too anyway.

I'm not sure where you're going with the mission 3/4 thing regarding SL. Could you explain that a bit further?

If this fails I'm ride or die sharkie + rtanisoul

I'm glad we got tunnelvivax back.

Yeah that's true regarding grack / sl.

I'll explain what I was thinking:

Attempt 3 (team I proposed) the issues that sl was raising were:
- the leader not on the team
- no grack on the team
- silver on the team (strong (est) scum read from super)

Some things about attempt 4 (vivax's team):
- leader not on team
- silver on team
- sharkie on team (also strong scum read from super)

His whole point for yay voting vivax's team was that he didn't want silver's team to be auto-picked since it was his strongest scum read. That + I suppose grack is on the team now, his strongest town read. But I don't see the logic (maybe sl will help here) with voting a team with your strongest scum read versus let that person pick the team. Actually the had his two strongest scum reads at that time (as I recall). Like this team for him should be auto-fail, so I can't see why he would approve it. #justslthings

Scum motivation that I see is to pass a team with at least 1 scum on it knowing he's ostracized in any case if team mate decides to fail; and in the present case he can give an easy town read to any of the members on the team (i.e., silver or sharkie who he was previously scum reading) cause they are now part of a team that succeeded in passing a mission.

you say strongest scum read. but it was also a scum read that everyone disagreed with so the gamble is worth it. also day 1 scum read

the obvious conclusion to draw from this is about 55% chance grack is scum and 55% chance sharkie is scum. if vivax or silver is scum we've just gotta take the L on this one

either way I would not nominate either of them for a mission from now on, and I was already hoping we could stay clear of ec and sl, why makes the decision going forward pretty easy. and it's possible that in the future sharkie or grack is obv down but it's not quite there yet from both of them. indirectly rtani is cleared -- not 100% but like 85% -- I guess. if I had the fine fortune of nominating this team it would be pretty obvious me/rtani/vivax/silver for the first four and then a tough choice between grack/sharkie/super. if I had to guess on who I'm misreading it would be super because I am long overdue on a reevaluation
actually lemme adjust that: 65% grack 45% sharkie because I seriously doubt someone who has never played mafia before is thinking ahead and predicting that they're gonna get two sabotages out of passing up the first one. like town cred and how victory mechanics affect that is not something that is apparently obvious in the first game
still go with super though, there are easily three people more likely to be scum than super

grack/sl/ec is the team that makes the most sense rn and I will approve any team that doesn't have one of them and doesn't have both both super AND sharkie

Game would be much easier for me if Grack didnt do that super odd 180° with his read on me, topping it off with him using the same argument to reach a different conclusion. Now I have to nay vote anything with sharkie + Grack on it.
