For now, I don't want to lynch him anymore because yesterday's flips made some people look really bad (aka layabout).
On david vs panda: I dunno. Both have been pretty inconsequential this game from my perspective, so they'd be better to shoot if anything.
So anyway, I'm going to vote for layabout. All the other accusations are good, but one thing most people are missing is that if we had lynched BM and the modkills hadn't happened, we'd be completely lost right now. Lynching a lurker who had done almost literally nothing because he 'might hurt town' gives us zero information. We'd all still be running around in the chaos of day one on day two if kat/206 hadn't fucked up. Between that and the kat defense, I'm throwing my vote on him. If lay flips red then marvel is worth looking at just because of being so associated with both layabout and kat day one.

His post just seems so scummy. he just points out some people looking like scum because they jumped on "bandwagons", then pretty much says yeah these people all look scummy, blah blah BUT I VOTE LAYABOUT. Then he proceeds to use information that layabout already made clear to attack layabout, when if he had actually read layabout's posts it would be clear that nothing happened so far condemns him nowhere near how he's posting right now.
Reply to your other post, if I had to pick another person besides Eiii and ghost, I'd probably pick johnny since all of his posts are stating facts about other players but never condemning them himself, like his posts on kenpachi and papa. Also he said he'd be a lot more active since his other game is over, proceeded to be useless, then blamed a game he was addicted to for not contributing much.

Eiii, it seem like our lynch is just as effective as our vig shot; both died, both were vanilla depressed soldiers. layabout means vig shots might have a chance of being blocked by red-doctor(blue doctor too) and both are as easily affected by scum-fuence as the other.
At Paqman/layabout: layabout your defense is saying katina was talking sense, so even though DoYouHas came out with an analysis pointing katina as scum, you went with BM who wasn't making sense/playing the game? "making sense" seems unclear to me as an explanation. Do you mean logical? not contradicting? knowing what's actually going on?
Most people are more or less logical. Anyone who is not would've been modkilled/lynched before BM. Again, if one is contradicting in anyway, they will be lynched even before the illogical players. No one really knows whats going on except the mafia in this game, especially in the early stages.
Layabout saying katina made sense is like saying raindrops are wet.
Please further clarify your defense for me. Thanks.

@papapanda, The number of players that make sense is far smaller than you appear to think it is. You should treasure the ones that do.

- He is concerned about communicating his ideas to others and convincing them
- He is working to improve his town game
- He feels like he owes town something
I see no signs of his town game so far.

Assuming you are town, take a moment to contemplate how your actions appear. Prolongued silence is just a terrible idea, not just for your own survival, but that of the town. If you're readying the thread and gather ideas, some of those should be shared. If you are somehow not intentionally derping us up here, consider that we need every head we can get to finger the scum, to mix our metaphors.

Well that was a fair bit to catch up on. I'm largely abandoning my case against PaqMan in favor of pushing blubb.
Here is a summary of my points against PM: -His votes on Grush and BM were poorly justified. -He went after slOosh both when he was correct about sinani and when he was correct about Katina. -He repeatedly brought up BH's mistakes in past games which I think served to undermine the town leadership role BH was establishing. -Starting with this post Katina seemed like a buzzword for PM. Mentioning Katina seems to draw more attention from PM than is warranted IMO.
Those were the highlights of why I find PM suspicious.
Right now it seems as if most of the focus is going onto layabout and NT.
Layabout earned the attention he garnered but at the same time I think he defended himself fairly well and is producing content. I'm not going to vote him unless someone produces a clean and convincing case or summary of previous cases against him. (I will admit that my thoughts regarding layabout have become a little muddled.)
NT is also deservedly under threat. His play style seems so far off of what I saw from his Godfather play in the newbie I cohosted. I expected fairly spammy play from him. I would not be upset with him being lynched today in spite of his promises of more activity in the near future.
Blubb I think deserves to be thrust back into the frontrunners for today's lynch. I intend to do just that with my next post.

now that DYH brought up Blubb, this post caught my eye...it's a bit old but it's interesting.

Like SA pointed out, reading minds for others, especially at such an early stage of the game is scummy.
Palmar: his play here compared to Liar Game Mafia is opposite. In one game he is interested and active, here, well... Two options: 1. He has no special role here and therefore immediately lost interest. 2. He is scum, scumming scum.
(Note: he is sheeping Kenpachi here, whereas in the other game he is playing king lol)
grush is without doubt the scummiest player here, putting up a strong (read:nonexistant) defense.
##vote grush57
PALMAR IS SCUM SO I'M VOTING GRUSH.
If we assume blubb is scum here, his actions don't really have a scum agenda. But they don't really have a town agenda either. I don't get it. I don't know if that's scummy or townie or not alignment telling at all but it's just weird. ESPECIALLY since palmar flipped town. Palmar flipping town means that if blubb is scum, grush is almost definitely town. But even that doesn't make much sense because blubb made a semi-case on palmar. I don't see an agenda from town or scum here, it's just "I think one person is scum so I'm gonna vote for some other guy that I also think is scum but didn't make a case on". It's just ... weird

such a contradiction, they were made about 3 hours apart. BM is a potent player and everyone knows that. I feel day 1 lynching a veteran is the worst thing you can do. If i were mafia, id put BM near the top of my priority list just because of his sheer experience.
He made his scum reads and calls out who he believes to be the remaining scum team. But he doesn't push for their lynch or pressure them or anything at all. As of now I think Kenpachi is a better option than NT.

That's not sufficient reason to unvote, typically. What if NT is legitimately playing like some horribly scummy game?
