My biggest reservation about Math is that he should have conceded if he was giving up, rather than fucking us all around. I don't think scum Math drops off the face of the earth and doesn't concede. At the same time, I think that's a toxic precedent to set whereby scummers can just disappear and have all heat dropped because "they should have conceded".

His approach to the game seemed 'honest', I don't really expect him to pretend to not have time.

This is fucking hard because I can see reasons why everyone is town but also reasons for everyone to be scum.

Math is definitely the one who looks the worst, but I am just as worried that it's too easy.

Last time I was worried about that it was just the truth.

If he's town I can only assume it's Math or ultra long game Marv. But it seems impractical and tbh I wouldn't want to say too much before NK just incase ( as I assume there's no way they're killing me in that scenario)

Jacob where did this switch on me come from? While I was swinging at you it felt like you were giving me rave reviews now you're acting like I'm your prime suspect?

It feels almost like you thought I was town until you thought you could lynch me when Vivax turned up?

I don't think I've seen Jacob play as mafia, but my assumption would be that, like you and I, Jacob would try to play in a way that he thinks he can perform as either alignment. So I project from this assumption that Jacob himself thinks he could. Whether he actually can or not is a different matter, but out of all the high post-count styles, his, where he deliberately undermines his own conclusions constantly, is probably the easiest to duplicate as mafia. He never really has to stick by anything. If he fucks up, he can just say he wasn't thinking as town.

IMO it's less about the number of words, and more about the number of assertions with clear convictions.

Jacob, you said you don't enjoy playing as mafia the way you used to. If you used to enjoy it, surely you could shit out a ton of words while doing it?

Like being able to just log in and throw out opinions is okay but I can't imagine having to do that while also deceiving people. I did enough of that when I was Bisexual with my parents. To be fair for pretty good at it but the trauma is real.

Vivax Marv what gives? you gonna post anything??

Kinda. But I'm willing to just run with the majority on this one since he isn't doing anything.

Maybe I'm just being contrarian again for no reason.

Errr... I don't know Marv but if I was in ScuMarv's position I would have bussed both those guys so fast sorry not sorry.

LS is extremely bussable (he seems to be developing a playstyle of dying and taking people with him). Koshi pushed the gun into his own damn mouth and forced town to pull the trigger. This isn't some 5D scum play it's the deterministic state of the game pushed into motion by forces beyond our remaining scummer's control.
