I want a response from T3 before hammer.

And I will self hammer by 3 hours before deadline if necessary.

There's probably one more substantive post I'll want to make after a T3 convo.

you said this but you went nowhere with it. what does a pause do? you're not questioning anyone. you're not discussing. you're just waiting. for what? for frogs to hammer? for the day to end? this gamestate is apathy inducing? is that the point?
i had to go.

Ok.

From my pov, I'm extremely suspicious of players that look at ALL like they would consider voting elsewhere today because I feel like I would be a huge liability to town at ELO.

T3's waffling has worried me, and my vote was a sort of test to see if his tune would change and to see what frogs would do.

His tune DID change. (though in p-edit I see more waffle?)

And I feel like frogs got slightly more assertive about my elim going through.

Consider that tomorrow.

T3 also gives me a ~distancing from my flip~ vibe for what that's worth.

I'm going to retract this as an absolute certainty. I feel like my willingness to self hammer (which I think was apparent even before I said I would yesterday) is giving T3 room to waffle and keep his hands clean. This could also apply to frogs prior to yesterday, but he's at least taken more of a stance about me.

For the sake of future games, I'm going to say this: I have a competent (some even say scary, to which I point and laugh) scum game.

If I were scum in this game, this is not the tack I would have taken. From what I've seen in the FGO Mafia PT, Not Known is not a team player as scum so I doubt I would have had much effect on how he played day 1 but that whole "save from E-1" would have been ridiculously dumb if we were scum partners because my slot went from redeemable and I think I was making inroads on that, to so poisoned that even I don't want to make it to elo because I feel like it's a near guaranteed town loss.

I have not played to survive in this game, ever, and I promise you that as last scum I would have been looking diligently for ways to slip through one more day and then play day 4 by ear.

So, yeah, I have a scum game and a not too narrow scum range. But there is no way I would have walked this path as last living scum in this or any other game.

Now, one of you need to hammer me.

{Dwlee, frogs} - basically even
{T3}

Final reads list. frogs has been the towniest of your three slots more consistently than either Dwlee, T3 or their predecessors.

The N2 kill points pretty heavily away from frogs and Dwlee, and I give Dwlee the nod there, but I worry I'm putting too much weight there. I don't have anything more to say about T3 and I hope I'm right and it's just him and tomorrow goes very smoothly.

Good luck with day four to whoever of you are town.

In the night, listen
rustle of bat wings in wind
moving toward rest

Tomorrow is coming.

It may be a few hours before Mic gets here.

I'll check occasionally for questions.
