You're entitled to have your opinion at least we have that.

Cuz his claim is such a genius play as mafia, it gives him engame towncred had they not killed the real parity cop.

As town, he's just jeopardizing the town. He just spends entire posts trying to justify his play "so I'm alive, HF is alive yada yada" but i don't see it.

Whatever, why don't you tell us who to lynch tomorrow?

Town
LightningStrike - Basically, he's too clueless this game. He basically goes entirely with where thread sentiment is and the way he questions people when other people call them scum show he doesn't have any additional information. There's also this sequence of posts:



That never ever ever ever come from mafia LS.

Holyflare - Holyflare is actually my second townread this game. The way he responded to my list, then finding something in Rayn's questioning of me that made him do a 'gotcha!' is one of the rare things I don't see scum!HF doing that quickly. He also has a very clear picture of the game, and has all the details about who he thinks are scum and why in his head. When something new pops up, he doesn't instantly try to call someone scum for it but actually looks into it, like he did regarding the page numbers with me.


Damdred - You need to give me some tips on how to be awesome on a limited timeframe dude He just feels really free this game. I can see his train of thought in most things like here:

He's very specifically chasing things. Geript made a big post but Damdred correctly analyzes that it didn't answer his questions, whilst also keeping a birds' eye view and questioning LS in a way that will likely help him read LS. No problems standing up to Rayn despite townreading him and gives people their day in the sun.

Raynpelikoneet - Two reasons, really. One is that I don't see why scum would blueclaim there. Rayn wasn't particularly feeling a lot of heat, and I don't recall any situation in which Rayn has fakeclaimed blue as scum, let alone in a scenario like this though I may be wrong. The second was the way he hounded Skynx and everyone who disagreed with him on it that made it clear that it's something he believed in. The way he then approached me later was much in the same way.

Furthermore, I believe if either Rayn or HF is mafia this game the game is already lost. Whichever one would be would be able to get enough town players on their side to lynch in case of need. The lines are split in the sand in a way that it's not helpful in any way to idly speculate on either of them being scum without a strong backing why (note: that Rayn fakeclaimed parity cop is not one.)

Town Lean
Tumblewood - I've mentioned this before, but Tumblewood has been really good about speaking his mind and the post in which he shared notes is not something he has done before in any game that I checked of his. He tends to struggle with activity as scum as well as that he tends to make more sense as scum. Tumble this game has been relatively active, pushing reads that don't necessarily correspond with thread sentiment, and has just been open about where his head's at.

Null
Skynx - Skynx has done a lot of things that I thought were mafia-like. The mess we've talked about for over 30 pages already describes a lot of it. There's also the association with Geript, where Geript entered the thread without talking about him. I found it odd that he held such a close tab on the vote count without posting too much, but he did actually show face in wanting to lynch me a bit. One thing also in his favour is that I struggle to see him being scum with ruXxar, whom I think is most likely to be scum as the way they both pushed Rayn out of the gate after what happened during N1 is unlikely to both be from scum.

Mafia Lean
Geript/Onegu - It all starts with his entry, which focuses a lot on Koshi without addressing a lot of the topics that were in the thread back then. He also gets rather defensive regarding his top scumread scumreading him. Half his post is about this:

The main part of his post is defending against Koshi and trying to prove him wrong rather than showing in any way how Koshi is mafia. He also ends up getting stuck commenting just about his Tumblewood read rather than talking about Koshi, which doesn't make much sense given Tumblewood was not a realistic lynch that day.

He also mentions RuXxar here whom actually already came into the thread agreeing with his reads, yet never conversed with him or even mentioned anything about him. Clearly familiar with RuXxar, whom was present in the thread and people were talking about. No read.

Main reason it's just a lean was because he was feeling shitty. Maybe he just had an off game because of that. I couldn't blame him if he did, but his filter looks pretty bad.

Oatsmaster - Oats this game has been the very definition of low-effort scumplay. He calls people mafia for very faint reasons, then proceeds to do nothing with it. He inquired to Rayn about whom he talked about only to do nothing with it. He's going through all the motions of 'scumhunting' without ever actually doing any scumhunting. When Koshi was getting lynched, he didn't really seem to care that people were switching over to me, only that he thought Koshi was the best lynch. He didn't say "Don't lynch Artanis! Koshi is the better lynch!" he just sat around and did nothing but make passing comments from the sidelines, which makes a lot of sense for a scum when there are no scum up for lynch.

He comments about LS (0 votes, 30 minutes before deadline):


Which is rather ironic given he berated Rayn for going after ruXxar without doing much about it:


Another point he also used later to attack Rayn for no avail. Oats has no sense of priority which is not a town Oats.

Mafia
ruXxar - Ruxxy unfortunately is mafia, mainly due to TMI. Firstly, due to the way he responded to the Skynx thing. No one thought Skynx was solid town but him for his initial post. I thought it looked okay, but not more than a slight townlean. Everyone else thought it looked scummy or worse. He also never gives a read on Geript. And then, he has a solid townread on me when everyone and their mom is scumreading me. What the weirdest part to me is in this regard is that he questions me for my Damdred read after everything that was being discussed, then when day breaks doesn't even go into it and asks what the case on me is. He was there. The only reason I can think of is that he knows I'm town.

It also makes sense with Skynx, as he'd know Skynx was town given that there's not a world in which ruXxar and Skynx are both mafia. They don't both respond this way when the cop dies. There's also a bit of meta in this in that I know ruXxar has no fear as either alignment and will do crazy shit. I'm not convinced/sure that this is true for Skynx.

Again, sorry for playing pretty awful dudes. Don't WIFOM yourself and not lynch me, it needs to happen at some ponit this game. I'll quote this post at EoD on my phone if I'm done with capoeira tomorrow so that people can remember my reads after my flip. Just gonna relax the rest of the evening and spend it with Tina but may check in to answer some questions if there are any.

Quick last post before capoeira - I'm actually not really sure between ruxx and skynx so prob best to lynch oats or geript first. Its weird, but I don't expect ruxx to be this gung ho about defending me after being accused of tmi. I'd also check if TW said anything interesting postgame in his last game regarding taking notes to see if there's any reason to presume he'd do it as mafia and stated it postgame.

Pssst. Hey guys.

Does this look like a scum train?

It's so obvious we're lynching town right now.

Each and everyone of you stoners need to get your head checked.

1) Everyone voting the same guy | check.
2) Dead thread | check
3) No counter wagon | check.

Do you guys not understand what's going on here?

Fucking lazy sheep the whole bunch of you.
It's pissing me off so fucking much that you all have your heads stuck up your ass.

Fuck it I don't even want to play this game anymore.

I'll just be voting myself for the rest of the game. I don't give a shit anymore.
