Also now that we have the benefit of hindsight concerning the votes on binus stagnating, I think we can agree there are two possibilities:

1. I am a stupid scum who held out a really long time only to hammer in a way that would bring a lot of tension to myself

2. All of the scum team were already on the binus vote and couldn't push it any further, meaning we should be looking at the four people who were voting before me

Also why would that clear me for you before binus flipped, only to be reversed by binus flipping as town. Was that a scum slip from tmi

?? No you were cleared by binus flipping. I was talking about my overnight thoughts.

I see, the way it was worded it came across to me as you having cleared me before, and then overnight you thought maybe that was a mistake.

In the last game fool and I played together, and fool was scum, he picked me out for the night kill specifically because he knew I would tunnel him.

I think this game he's taking a different approach by laying insurance suss on me early, which he is now cashing in on to get me executed that way Scum can get rid of two town and also resolve my tunneling

##vote tpc

There was no reason not to let binus give their new reads.

This vote even betrays some self-consciousness through the tact on explanation that barely amounts to a real case day three

Like yes fool I am sure you were genuinely waiting with bated breath for 11 hours to see some gut reads that would immediately be forgotten by the next day

I think it would have been useful to know what binus was thinking after moving off Obama, yes, especially given that there was ample time and it’s not like you’re forced to f5 the thread when there’s no activity. Do something else until deadline is approaching or binus posts.

What I think happened is that you were getting annoyed that nobody hammered for you after hours and hours of binus sitting at -1, and were worried about a last minute swerve as deadline approached.

Maug the idea that hammering clears tpc is pure wifom. It’s a bad scum move so people don’t suspect that scum will do it, making it in fact a good scum move.

It lets scum cash out on a misyeet and generates “too dumb for scum” cred. It’s a plausibly deniable turbo.

It's not the hammering that clears him for me, it's the reluctance to do so in conjunction with then doing so out of impatience at the thread being dead. Scum would have just waited for deadline and "reluctantly" hammered for a flip.

You're making some weird cases here but apparently you two have history so I dunno if that makes you scum or two townies flailing at each other.

The thing is town power roles generally help route out scum while scum power roles are designed to thwart town power roles. Ergo I think an all vanilla game is more pro scum and having more than 2 in a 10 player game is unlikely.

Saying that I get quite anxious as a mod when people start setup speculating in my games and say things like ‘x and y can’t be true as that is terrible game design’ because often x and y are indeed true lmao. Anyway I won’t be mad circ if there are 3 scum players left

It's late, Eurovision and all that, but I did some rereading. TPC and Obama get town passes from me. Fool I'm wavering on. Cube is perennially unreadable to me but is becoming my top candidate for scum just by default - fair bit of posting but little to no scum hunting.

The other outside possibility I can see is a Somber/salad pairing. I know Somber doesn't like to bus as scum which makes these sort of soft nudgy posts stand out to me:

yeah i'm comfy voting binus instead of salad i think

Okay, I slept.

If there were 3 scum and both fos and TPC were town, scum could have rushed the vote and won by now. So if there are three scum, fos is probably one of them.

I think there are most likely 2 scum. But the fact that fool didn't think of that is a small point against him.

(Only a small point though, because Circl forgot to remove binus from the living players list at day open so it did look like the vote threshold was 5 rather than 4).

Looking at the current kill choices YPM and TMor were both pro eliminating salad so need to look there next I think. YPM was also floating a cube vote before being murdered.

Hi everyone I was busy moving out and driving the past couple days but now I'm at the new place.

You shouldn't kill me even though I'm lurking, and the reason why is because I'm town.

If this was a role madness game, cube would be in the middle of theory crafting who has what roles, but in a way that did not reveal anyone’s alignment. Since this is ostensibly all vanilla (except me, I’m a day seer stump hypercharger), he’s relegated to posting votefinder over and over again


YPM also floated somber, not sure how serious this suggestion was though

setting aside the verisimilitude of your claim, sir fool, what i purport to express is the folly of applying such postulates to our dominetic colleague

Agreed heavily on the first and third points. Cube is one of my top priorities for a vote today, the other being binus. Still pretty sus of Obama but I think I'd like to flip one of Cube/binus first.
