Sweet and damo both have moved up on my townreading players. Granted, it's a very small sample.

Anyway, I think my commute home will get in the way of my voting, and I won't pull off into a gas station to post.
D1 being what it is, if I add my vote to a town role, I apologize in advance. There's no one I'totally sold on, so today is for data collection purposes.
##Vote damo

My scum are Vecna, Damo, and I’m coming around on LoW
I’m good with a Vecna death and it’s not omgus
Nope, just wanted to use a fact about bees that involved the word police. The rest of it was incidental and not as fabricated as C-L-E-R-K. And you were a placement vote and then rereading I thought you were a full-on-shit mafia. I disagree with my assessment now.damo666 wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:25 pmBAD cop?Hamilton Brian wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 7:28 pmBees police the cleanliness of their hives through routines and behaviour.

I don't feel comfortable saying more right now, other than I currently oppose voting for Ham given the situation at hand.
I also don't want to vote ham right now, at least until someone explains to me what ham is claiming, I'm super confused as to the state of that discussion.

To which I say, is a biased assessment. Yes, we have a plethora of scum who have claimed at the EOD to avoid the DK. You're missing the other element, which bozo is as well.worcej wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:28 pmThis.bozotheclown wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 10:54 pmHamilton implied he was cop to avoid being the D2 DK, and is now saying he is not the cop but was trying to draw the NK.

I think you and I are both really into finding potential crumbs that Ham left. You've done much better than I (I didn't see the BAD). But I did see a few stray umlauts that I was attempting to evaluate the importance of.damo666 wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 10:48 pmExplainSpartaculous wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 10:44 pmGreat; thanks for hümoring me with a silly question or two.
If these are all real crumbs and you're really the PR, I think the scum team are idiots for not finding them almost immediately.Hamilton Brian wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:29 pmI am happy that you're finding all the crumbs I was leaving, damo.
Ah, my computer at work is really weird. Or the keyboard is; I tap a letter then a punctuation, then it does something I don't want it to do. I decided to leave the umlauts. Didn't think them to be significant.Spartaculous wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:30 pmI think you and I are both really into finding potential crumbs that Ham left.

Sounds good. I'll take that at face value. I was attempting to connect the one umlaut with the immediately preceding mention of BunnyGo (who was your implied scan). I repeat my belief that you should not be under consideration for today's vote.Hamilton Brian wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:35 pmAh, my computer at work is really weird.

Typically, mafia are more likely to fake PR crumbs than VT, as I mentioned in another post.damo666 wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 10:56 pmThis summary omits the all important D1 crumb. Why bozo?

Ham crumbs that he is a Clerk on D1. Presumably it wasn't noticed by anybody, but damo found it since Ham told us about it and it clearly spells out "CLERK".
End of day 2 Ham hamfistedly soft claims Clerk in the most unbelievable way possible.
Unsurprisingly, Mafia didn't believe his claim and NK ghug.
Now Ham has renounced his claim, saying he setup the claim D1 as a way to eat the NK at some point.
----------------------------------------------
Now what we should do about this is quite obvious:
Case 1: Ham is Town, possibly actually a great actor and actually the Clerk (I believe this).
Then we should not DK him. Force Mafia to either NK him, focus their role blocks on him, or even ignore him, which would be awesome if he is actually the Clerk.
Case 2: Ham is Mafia.
If we incorrectly do the best play, assuming Case 1, then worst case our Clerk will catch him. Though it is likely we would eventually catch him. Certainly he wouldn't be allowed to make it to final 3.
TLDR Ham should not be up for the vote today.
If there were a real cop, beyond me and the presumed fake claim, why wouldn't they waste a scan on me? If I were the real cop, and someone claimed, wouldn't they scan just to figure it out? Why wouldn't they?
They could scan someone who did not fake claim to prevent their DK instead.Hamilton Brian wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:55 pmIf there were a real cop, beyond me and the presumed fake claim, why wouldn't they waste a scan on me?
