That sounds like something scum would do.
Yes but the difference is I am town manipulating what I think is a scumBozo
What were you trying to accomplish with this if you are town?
I was pretty convinced emc town and considered you more likely scum. Fwiw I now think both you and emc are town.

Yes and it's way better to play with you now. But you also had some great moments in the past when you didn't have a meltdown.

its fun to try? not really easy to pull off, but definetely part of the enjoyment of being town and wanting to get it right

I used to just yell at my top scumread until I could provoke an emotional resonse from them. which usually just turned into them calling me an idiot.

so I figured when I push people its okay to not push so hard that it just turns toxic.

It's fun trying to figure out what scumteams work from a given scumpool and it's worth sharing. You're unlikely to nab the whole team but if you get commonality between attempts it's a good guide I think. For instance we have bo and Flash appearing quite a lot.

having 5 scumreads is probably less focused than having 1
but having 5 scumreads guarantees more discussion

I'm OK until Tues 23rd but for 6 days thereafter I will be intermittent at best (if I'm still surviving). I will of course comply with minimum requirements but may struggle to keep up.

Fox is town by volume. hes well over his usual scum quota pace of 166 posts
I tried to do volumetric scum hunting last game by comparing post count and word count, and it didn't really pan out. Either it was obvious (Xorxes) or not. So I'm not sure this is a great metric.
I've got to give big Town points to anyone who discredits a proven towns reasoning to Town read you.

DARGARGOYLE

before you can understand dargorygel you must understand the beautiful healthy inmer child that lives within dargy. This is a man who will wander into your place of work and give you a hug. He is an old soul, full of joy and talents. He can farm, teach, play dip, play mafia, create stories and characters. Dargo has a moral compass and plays mafia in a reserved manner as all alignments. He is non aggressive and cheerful. Darg seldom gets upset and even when he is upset he tends to internalize things as if they are his fualt even if they are not. Hes a father. a grandparent. And a beautiful being.

That being said is darg scum? volume does not tell the tale. darg rarely posts in large quantities. his mafia play is usually fairly hard to distinguish from town.
Darg is not usually very strong at defending against pressure because of his personality.

Moment 2

Day-1 24:19
page 28 / orig I'll be back tomorrow with time...
First, I was trying to be funny, and no one noticed. I was posting with one word. I suppose it says something about what folk expect from me. :-)
It was kind of fun. Mostly it was just reactive posts. I DID have a couple of conversations (accusing Percy Williams of hedging, for instance) that were fun with single words. It actually made me think more about articulation than I am used to...

But in the end it is too hard and not really helpful.

A couple of obvious things to comment on:
Mass claim... while I do think that such a claim MIGHT POSSIBLY help us... mostly the concept has too many faulty underlying beliefs. It assumes a randomness of role that I don't think the GM's would do. It assumes that we will have LOTS of scum making false claims, when there is no reason for them to do so. I think bozo also is assuming (he lists this as a 'pro') that multiple fakeclaiming by lynchable scum is common. I think it happens maybe once or twice per game. So we MIGHT draw out a couple of scum... but mostly, we just give scum a map.

But I am not happy with how hard bozo is pushing for this. He seems to have some hope that he has a chance to succeed. I think bozo is smarter than that. So why does he not back off? Or did I miss a retraction?

Also, regarding D1 voting. I always raise an eyebrow at STRONG statements on D1. People who pretend to KNOW an alignment. Obv, only scum knows alignment.

Lynching lurkers? D1 is almost random voting, or at most, mostly gut feelings. Lurkers are no more or less likely to be scum. Lately, it seems, though that at least one or two scummies hide early in the game. So maybe lynching lurkers increases our odds.

I'll probably be able to read off and on... but won't have time to post much till tomorrow morning.

Day-1 06:46
page 41 / orig Maybe this is obv, but it seems that bozo's relentless pursuit of a massclaim makes the most sense if he is the role-thief. One role already responded and claimed mason. And of course, if he DOES convince enough people, he finds a bunch of roles.
This seems like dargo had 2 reasons by now to unvote percy but didnt.

reason 1 to unvote percy was that the whole impetus for voting percy was the hedging. which darg admits was just a gimmick accusation

reason 2 to unvote percy is darg appears here to identify that bozo is likely not only mafia but is the role thief


Result:

dargorygel
Day-1 06:39
page 42 / orig My Percy vote at first was clearly a joke vote. Did no one else notice that he was blamed in the flavor for the end of civilization?

I get the policy votes. MF this morning seems reasonable, though.

I do think we need a non-policy option.

Presently, I am clearly not choosing the wine in front of me...

And Percy has seemed more and more questionable to me. In addition to what otehrs have brought up, he seems to be PR fishing... emphasizing clarification of those who have soft-claimed.

So I'll leave it there, for now.

I would also vote for Itshusoko, bozo, or foxy today
now he says percy vote is a joke.

Before I dive into this post, thanks bo for articulating what I’ve been feeling in a way more clear and concise way than I ever could. Appreciate that. I have a lot of trouble following all these back and forth quoted conversations. I miss the old big monolithic “case” posts people used to make.

But on this post - dargo isn’t someone I’ve played with too much (or have forgotten if I gave), but this entire post seems hedgey and anchoring. “Sorry I was posting so poorly, but weren’t my one-word answers so articulate! I’ll be back and better later, I promise!”

Moscow won't change even if we policy lynch him for his playstyle + I'm not a player that votes for past offenses so my reason feels non-game related

##VOTE dargorygel

it feels SO much better now
Make that 3 scummy ppl who pushed dargorygel.

And why? Because darg is on percy. And percy is town.

I think dargo is town. and 3 scum all pushed on him day 1.

In M24, you and dargorygel both made it through the entire game (7 days). In M28, you both were alive for 5 days. You were both in M33, but dargorygel replaced you D5. In M36 you were both on the scum team, although you were replaced D2.

I Highly doubt I'm N1 NK. Since I can't prove I'm Town until At least Day 5, the mafia have plenty of time to orchestrate my mislynch. People are going to start suspecting me again as soon as I live through a couple nights, despite it not making that much sense to NK me, they might let me live past turn 5 and push for my mislynch. Although I'd have no reason not to claim my scan, and once I flip people will know it's true, but I still think the mafia will push a mislynch rather than NK me.

the whole wagon on emc was about behavioral correction because he always waits til ten minutes left in a phase to vote.
