I'm pretty okay with all of the big wagons right now, except rivera.

Xorxes, Balki, Fox are all good lynches. I'm wavering a bit on the Bunny vote.

##Vote xorxes, back to where I think we're most likely to find scum. Would also vote Balki or Fox.
Why Xorx?

I mean, it is really odd that people are focusing so much on the people who did vote to lynch scum 7-6 yesterday.

[][]VOTE BALKI

Let's make a real wagon of him and see what happens.

I don't like letting EMC of the hook but I'm not going to forget about that little worm either.
What's your reason?

Just "he seems fake" or something like that?

I do think it's odd, but there are more people doing odd things than there are available scum slots. And to be honest, I'm not really putting a lot of weight into meta arguments. I get why you might be, having played with Balki and seen this before, but I can't go back and verify everyone's meta so I'm just trying to focus on this game.

I'm suspicious of Balki based on "feel" and not something that he's done explicitly. Is there anything else, besides his push on you, that you think is scummy about him?
I don't like that he's positioned himself in very ambiguous slots on all the wagons so far. Perfectly safe, middle-of-the-herd places that could go a very long time before we have enough information about the composition of those wagons to be able use that information to sort him. It seems deliberate, and it's something that would appeal to scum.

Others have pointed out that he's pushy but not solvy. BunnyGo, I think, pointed out that he's been very hedgy and hasn't taken strong positions on nearly anything.
Re your first point: Flum has ended each day on the same wagon as Balki, and Bunny also did except for day 2 which was hammered. Night 3 you said Flum and Bunny are in your townreads. Can you explain why you think Balki's votes seem scummier than theirs?
Tunneling, probably. But I'm also scumreading Balki for a lot of circumstantial/speculative/gut-feeling reasons, whereas my circumstantial/speculative/gut-feeling reactions to Bunny and Flum are much more positive.

What does this mean: positioned myself in very ambiguous slots on all the wagons so far?

I voted to lynch scum just yesterday in the final effing ten minutes of the phase?

How is that ambiguous?

I say my level of confidence. If I'm not confident in something, I'll say that. Confidence does not equal town. Town are grasping and flailing around in the dark. Scum are the folks with information, answers, and agendas. People who say they are confident about everything all the time in this game (e.g., Jamiet, Chaqa, Brainbomb) are kidding themselves.

Will nobody take Foxcastle to task for his dramatic flip in his read on me after I started to read him as scum?

Chron:

(1) Fox says Balki is his #1 town read.

(2) Balki begins to suspect Fox, and says so.

(3) Balki casts a decisive vote to lynch scum.

(4) Fox says Balki is his #1 scum read.

This is utterly bizarre and almost certainly fake.

Also, unrelated, can someone please unscramble these letters for me?

@Chaqa, I know rivera is voting for me for lynching Vecna, but I don't know why you are.
It started with a vague meta-sense that you reminded me of your scum meta, but I think you're scum that wanted to lightly bus Bob and wound up in too deep.

You keep bringing up this point, it just seems suspicious to me the more you do so. You're one of my other top scum suspects.

I still think we're not keeping an eye on Jamie enough. He's skirting by with absolutely no attention. He could be scum hiding in plain sight.

I'm mainly just confused that Jamiet has been treating me as town all game, and he's suddenly ranked me as his 2nd most likely scum.

I know, but like -- people keep forgetting it. It is the most readable thing that has happened in the game. Don't talk to me about your feelings anymore, until you at least acknowledge and discuss the cold hard facts.

Could be, and it's good to have a broad focus. But "not receiving attention" isn't a scumtell. Why do you think Jamiet needs more attention? His Day 3 vote is a good start.

Freedom checked himself into the emergi care off saugen street. He was rushed to immediate ICU where doctors worked frantically to remove the bullet. Janet chewed her nails and sat staring at the tv for hours. She watched seven episodes of Friends in french subtitles before finally falling asleep.

She was jolted awake by a stocky italian man in a suit entering the lobby smoking a cigar. A receptionist stood up and began sternly warning the man; "We dont allow cigar smoking in this facility, put that out".

The Italian man laughed. "Yea, no cigars. what am I thinkin, this is a clinic right?. He pulled a machine gun and opened fire at the receptionist sending her diving to the floor. Janet leapt from her seat and ran out the front door as the gunman shot up at least a half dozen patients.

He tossed a roll of paper towels on the ground as blood pooled in the lobby. "These are the absorbent kind friends, super absorbent".

I think I'm town in that one, right? 1006?

I said things like this to you:
your "Null" read on me strikes me as you trying to avoid a collision with me. I don't think you wanted a collision with me.
I think Foxy was null on me at EOD2 because Foxy is afraid of me.

(he has every reason to be afraid of me. I'm a scary mother effer if you're scum)

In my experience, scum very rarely tries to lead a push on me. Almost always, people who try to push me are town. I find that scum don't try to pick that fight, especially early on. That's one of the reasons why I think Vecna is town.

Foxy has tried to avoid this fight. He wants to part of this.
Looks like you forgot to pull those quotes?

And looks like this statement you made a few pages back is just wrong, once we fix the link so that others can go check your work:

(The whole idea that confrontation with him is an indicator of anything doesn't appear in any of his other games or applied to any other player, that I could find.)
So, seems like your meta argument was not correct, right?

Does that change your view of my alignment?

Ah, I missed those, yes. I retract the claim that there's no evidence in M1006 of you mentioning confrontation.

I still find it beyond belief that you could be town this game when you have near quotes of your M46 scum game. At best, your read of me is utterly untrustworty because you've demonstrated that you can and will make it as scum. At worst (for you), it's essentially a scumslip. I definitely think it's the latter.

I am not sure what to make of Balki vs. Foxcastle, if they are both scum, they are doing some great bussing. For now I will give a slight town preference to Balki.
