I did paraphrase the wiki, because in my experience a lot of people don’t go read the wiki and assume. People in this game in particular seem to not understand roles since multiple people were confused about what happened to Black and Gamma. Dunn also kept saying I claimed Vanilla Cop which I didn’t so I felt I needed to be clear about it.

Hu Tao/Timmer

What does this mean?


In a world where my pre-flip associations are 100% accurate (they've never been 100% accurate before, but really close they have).

Guillo
is unaligned with 9 players
Element is unaligned with with 4 Players
Gamma is unaligned 2 Players

This means that if Guillo was scum in this game, He spewed half the game town on Day 1 alone, and it would have been really easy to pinpoint who his teammates were, from the remaining players. Too bad Guillo is town, though.

This also means that if any of those 9 are scum, Guillo is spewed town from them :D
Counterpoint to that would be, Guillo did some premium distancing, but I'm hopeful that if any of them flip scum, Guillo would have helped town to prove his worth and loyalty besides this spew.

Elements
flipping scum would spew Dunn, Dave, Black and Gamma town.

Gamma
flipping scum would hard spew Elements and Random Nurse town.

Timmer
flipping scum would clear
Hu
and Vice versa.

Conclusion


Guillo being unaligned with 9 players out of 16 makes him thread spew town or the best infoyeet of 2023 if the majority of players here suspect him that much.

Elements would clear a whooping total of 4 players town, so if these two were scum together, the game would be pretty much on auto mode.

I can confirm that Guillo is not scum, so we are not living in a perfect world where town auto this shit.

Hopefully this injects my thoughts and process in the thread and I have helped you determine whether I deserve the sussuspicion I've gotten so far or not, as well as some insights about the interactions between some of the players.
If you have questions or concerns about this post or my previous posts, let me know.
Hopefully when I come back I'll have more info to analyze, but for now, good night.

I think townbinning Hu Tao for now because they're still alive after Gamma flipped not gunsmith/scum makes sense. I feel like now that Gamma is flipped there will actually be pressure to NK Hu Tao for their claim.

It feels overly risky for them both to have been scum fakeclaiming

I dont see what scum!Broccoli would gain from defending town!Tao - more likely he would support the easy lim. Defending Hu Tao makes sense only in case of both town or both scum. Both being scum is something to think about.
If they're both scum it would make the argument between Gamma and BQ2 on D1 theatre. Admittedly I cannot tell the difference between scum!Gamma doing scum theater and scum!Gamma faking righteousness toward town, but I read that a couple of times D1 and it didn't seem theatery to me

This is not correct - no reason to assume there arent more goons, especially if the goons are meant to give sort of false positives to weak TPRs

If my vote is important to you then convince me why I should unvote.

Why are you pushing me to vote someone else?

What EXACTLY make Hu Tao so obvTown to you?
Alrighty.

1. You should unvote because I believe you are town and I believe Hu Tao is town and I don't want to spend this day phase on eliminating a VT for no reason. It was abundantly clear yesterday that her claim was fake and everyone chose not to lim her anyway. Why should we lim her for the same fake claim today?

2. I am pushing you to vote someone else because I think you are town and I want your help in solving the game, but not by voting HT.

3. She is obvtown to me because of (a) how Gamma was trying to miselim her yesterday, (b) the cheekiness of her VT claim on her first post, followed by the cheekiness of making an absurd fake claim at E-1, and (c) the way she's opened up today and continued to play today is much more solvy and much less coasty than how Hu Tao usually plays scum. YesterDay I believe I was pushing her for coasting, but she's not coasting this Day phase.

Quite often? Maybe in 30-50% of games, I'd say.
Sorry to harp on this, but 30 to 50% of the time it benefits town? I just don't see how these little clues help since long time players on both sides presumably catch them equally easily?
I meant it's probably used with some effect in about 30-50% of the time. And yeah it can help scum but it often does help town. Idk if more or less often than it helps scum, though.

Hu Tao looks much worse, that slot is untrustworthy. Starting with her is less risky than limming potential useful town PR but also her flip gets plenty of useful info.
I wanted to go this way but allowed Broccoli and Hu to make me hesitate. :roll:
Out of the 3 i feel like Hu has the best chance of rolling scum.

VOTE: Hu Tao
My question is why are you only looking in these 3?

Can you do me a favor and look at all the slots that are sort of in the background (off the top of my head, Keyleth, Roden maybe, Andres, maybe someone else) and say if you think there's scum there? And also have a look at the case I made for Elements.

At the time it seemed like I was about to get wagoned and we were getting close to deadline. I didn't want to waste time wagoning me into a claim, then have it dismantle and turn into a panic situation before deadline.

I'm a Town Role Cop. My original plans were to investigate Dunn or Kyouko and confirm their miller status. After Hu Tao's claim, I debated real hard over night on whether I should still check one of the millers or her. I ended up going with Hu Tao and got "Vanilla" back. Someone else dropped crumbs that apparently only I saw that makes me think there are other protectives.
welp

There's a reason I said you don't have to reveal it today

You lied, Hu Tao. Thats a fact. To get best info from this situation without mislimming potential important PR is to lim you. Or, pushing a lurkers.
It would be neat if some lurkers bothered to come here, tbh. I hate this mess and my thoughts are messed up.

Spoiler: With Quotes

[Comments before end of D1]

- I can’t say I like the reasoning for the vote expressed here, but I don’t know that Scum openly admits to voting as a form of policy instead of just saying it was RVS. I know Celebloki is getting a lot of heat for this explanation from what I can tell, so I would just say that I don’t get SR the slot for this. I think if Scum had to explain the vote to draw the least amount of suspicion, they probably just say that it’s an RVS vote and that’s it. The extra explanation clearly isn’t angled at making themselves look good.
- Interestingly, I’m surprised to actually agree with this thought. It may not be entirely accurate. Still, I like the skepticism that underlies it.
- This may be the sort of question Scum asks to appear to be advancing the game. Or it could be genuine curiosity, not sure. If you’re asking me (and I know you’re not), there’s no definitive process that works. At the end of the day, Scum have to bullshit.
- I’m not a fan of this post. I would argue Kyouko didn’t seem “afraid”. They were simply trying to connect (yes, despite the vote). I don’t know if Kyouko’s Miller claim was “opportunistic” - I may have to revisit the context.
- I can’t say I understand this pivot. If you really believe Kyouko is trying to attack you early because they’re scared of your slot (I presume because you’re good at catching Scum), then why not keep up the pressure after they’ve collected some quick votes?
- I agree that Guillotina’s bursts of posts are probably +Towny. Nevertheless, I share Black’s “concern” about the switch to Celebloki there.
- Is this back and forth supposed to convince me that Random Nurse and Guillotina can’t be partnered?
- Certainly quite a bit of overlap with some of the reactions I have felt. Though the questions themselves are probably easy to fake from Scum, I’ll admit that the level of enthusiasm is probably difficult to sustain from Scum. Though that’s coming from the perspective of someone that doesn’t like playing Scum ever.
- I don’t think you can know this @Elements. If the pivot happened within 30 minutes, then a previous post shouldn’t have caused the switch. I would have found it more believable if Guillotina had simply said that they were
also
suspicious of Celebloki for the reasons explained.
- Black’s skepticism here in response to Elements claiming to not have a read of Guillotina is, in my mind, warranted.

[Reading After D1 has ended]
- This is far fetched. Not a particularly convincing argument from Guillotina.
- For reasons specified above, I don’t like this argument from Kyouko.
- Obviously Broccoli’s read of Gamma as Scum is negative points. To be totally fair, I don’t think I ever even had a chance to express a read there so I can understand why this opinion might be annoying.
- Since this doesn’t read like distancing to me, Celebloki is more often than not Town (assuming this keeps up).
- Since we know this is a Scum motivated wagon, these votes from Elements and Broccoli are not positives. Do I think the whole Scum Team jumped on a slot all at the same time? No.
- Now this is interesting. Gamma actively arguing against a vote for Guillotina in this way is either a pocket or a Partner. Will have to decide which one.
- I don’t know what to make of this interaction between Broccoli and Gamma. Is it too blatant for Partners?
- Meh. Ruling out Kyouko and Guillotina over just doesn’t make any sense to me. Dunnstral and Elements could certainly be partnered. If anything, is some evidence in favor of the idea that perhaps Dunn and
Gamma
are not partnered. And the way Gamma shaded Elements is clearly nothing that Scum aren’t capable of doing. This post isn’t particularly impressive.
The interaction between Gamma and Random Nurse I will admit didn’t strike me as Partners. So I would argue there’s some positives there.
- This probably just clears CSF for now.
- I do agree that Guillotina and Gamma are probably not partnered given . I do think that Black’s argument against Guillotina was valid, but I’m having a hard time simply ignoring the more direct interactions with Gamma.
- Probably Town indicative for Dunnstral (the attack on Gamma).
- Not great in a vacuum. Funny enough, Keyleth SR’ing one of the most widely TR’ed slots in the game is a positive for me.
- This certainly confirms the observation above. Also, this is a positive for Naerys - they’re reaching out to a slot that’s +Town in my book to defend another Town that’s being (wrongly) suspected.
- If this ended up with a vote, perhaps Broccoli and Gamma are not really partnered.
- I don’t know if Gamma as Scum reacts to a Partner’s suspicion this way, but it’s very convincing distancing.
- Then again, this feels like a bad vote. Having said that, Gamma trying to move Guillotina from Naerys to Celebloki (not directly, of course) in has to be considered as a subtle defense.
- I’m thinking this post from davesaz is bad. I would argue it’s clearly shading a Towny, but it’s also not particularly strong. Just attacking the strength of the read.
- All this analysis, only to vote Town. That’s a shame. I remain in disagreement that Gamma flipping Scum spews Elements Town.
- This also doesn’t feel like distancing. Considering it’s a “spicy take” from Scum, I can’t imagine it’s accurate. also means that the take is followed with an actual vote, which I would argue is a decent indication of it not being SvS. Also, I don’t think it’s particularly common to accuse a Partner of “bullying”.
- I had a good laugh at this. Timmer is again, probably just Town.

As a side note, this game feels very dense. It’s taking me a long time to parse through each page.

- Uh oh. Not good from Keyleth.
- Yeah, I can’t currently conclude that Broccoli and Gamma are trying to distance here. The use of the word “bullying” and Broccoli’s clear negative reaction to that are pretty Town indicative to me.
- Interesting line here from Guillotina.
- Now this I would actually vote. davesaz is doing the classic I see my Partner is struggling with their push, so I will argue they’re both Town in a way to protect their position.
, - We can certainly dispense with the notion that Elements and Gamma can’t be partnered.
- Since this is real pressure, Celebloki is probably never Scum here.
- It’s going to be hard to trust Kyouko in light of the set of posts culminating here.
- There’s something shady about this post. Arguing that your own behavior is +Town because you’re helping de-obfuscate is quite questionable.
- @Kyouko, I read Dunn’s post as defending Kawaii from Gamma. Now of course it doesn’t matter. Kawaii was Town, and I agree upon reading more closely that Dunn wasn’t doing that, but instead was reacting to Elements. I think there’s other reasons to believe that Dunnstral is Town in any case.
The point on Kawaii and Timmer was a bit more nuanced, I would argue. TImmerRC seemed confused like you said, and somewhat outraged, that Hu Tao had claimed VT. Kawaii then said “it’s definitely weird” which is another way of saying “it’s Scummy”, which I didn’t agree with (I don’t think Hu Tao is Scummy for claiming VT so early). At the time, I felt the way Kawaii approached the situation was Scummy. I was wrong, obviously.
- Though I have to read through the collection of posts here again, the case constructed by Kyouko of Celebloki is probably flawed, and should be scrutinized.
- This is Keyleth defending Scum and one of my biggest SRs so I can’t say I think this is great.
- I can’t view piling onto Celebloki here as a positive (from davesaz).
- I think Kyouko arguing this deep in the game that the reasoning behind an RVS vote is sufficient to justify a large wagon on a player is just a bad look. It may not be coming from Scum, admittedly. As in, why would Scum spend so much time making themselves look tunneled with the primary reason being an RVS vote? But at the time, it was the wagon with the most votes on. So that’s something to consider.
- I think voting Elements here is justified.
- If I’m being objective, I would think this is a positive from Guillotina. And also, I think Broccoli criticizing the focus on the RVS vote in is a tad positive, but not to the same extent since they found a way to maintain their vote regardless. Now, Celebloki would have to be confirmed Town, but shifting away there I would argue is +Town.
- I would argue Dunnstral probably has the game somewhat upside down from reading this (up to that point), but I’m not thinking that’s Scummy.
- I would argue this is Scummy from Keyleth.
- This reads like a pocketing attempt to me. TR’ing the strategy put forth by Broccoli, I would argue, is being done because Broccoli TR’ed Gamma pretty strongly. My point being that I am not of the mindset that Gamma and Broccoli are partners even if Broccoli seems to have consistently defended Gamma throughout.
- Would like to highlight this post from davesaz. Not a good look.
- From my perspective, this pool for an execution is problematic since I TR all of these slots. Gotta say - definitively calling Broccoli anything this game is going to be tough (from what I’ve observed so far).
- This is the sort of subtle defense of a Partner I would expect to see (davesaz and Gamma, in this case).
- I’ll just quickly give my thoughts on Town blocks but I don’t expect to get much of a reaction to it. Town blocks are a necessary evil. Setting up a POE is key to putting Scum in a corner. I don’t think anyone is suggesting that Town blocks should be trusted forever if set up D1 (and Broccoli clearly would have lost the game that way if it wasn’t for Black’s excellent use of their role), but I don’t like these posts arguing against their use. In my experience, they can be extremely effective tools. Having said that, I understand Celebloki’s skepticism. I just think it’s misplaced.
, , - Hm. I started reading this sequence as potentially partners, but the fact that Gamma was completely willing to apply pressure here with a vote deflates that argument to a large extent.
- The AtE from Naerys is real.
- This is too harsh for partners (though there’s always a chance it’s deception). I’m thinking davesaz and Hu Tao are not partnered as Scum.
- I have a couple of broad thoughts. Firstly, Kyouko reevaluating like this is Towny. There’s a couple of things that I have picked up from Naerys that make me think the slot is maybe Town (for example, the AtE in #867). I also think that Kyouko is trying to figure out Naerys’ alignment with nuance, and it doesn’t read like fake reasoning to me. The analysis whether Naerys was being waffly with the points about the millers seems solid. I don’t think the underlying points are super strong per se, but I think it’s a bit too nuanced for Scum.
Are you saying you didn't check who was eliminated over the night, or any of the night kills at the start of the day?
If you read the spoilers, he did ,as he comments about my associations with flipped scum.

I don't see this as scummy though.I think there are some logical errors related to how they interperet you and Celeboki.
Agreed.

IDK if ir's 100% scum, but it has better chance to flip scum than any of HT/Naerys/Celeb

I also didn't read the last 20 pages of Day 1, I wonder if I should read them or just skip it all.

Somebody mentioned E-1'ing people for claims - who claimed other than Hu Tao?
You should read them all, 20 pages is a lot of content you are missing.
Fine, I might do that later but tbh I don't have a lot of time now.

I dont see what scum!Broccoli would gain from defending town!Tao - more likely he would support the easy lim. Defending Hu Tao makes sense only in case of both town or both scum. Both being scum is something to think about.
Havent finished my thoughts here, lol. Sent it by mistake.
Anyway, while faking doctor is something Hu Tao did as town, i think we need to look at her behavior since beginning. First she claims vanilla, then when she gets pushed she claims doctor. At the very best she feels untrustworthy, at the worst these are scummy moves. She could be doing it bcz she knows there are players who have seen her faking doctor as town, so she counts on that those will TR her.
Conclusion: flipping Hu gives us decent info. It solves potential Hu+Broccoli+Gamma buddies.
VOTE: Hu Tao
This is rubbish. You think broccoli was scumreading me yesterday. I was scumreading gamma. And we are all teamed?
You could be. Distancing exists, after all.
You said I claimed doctor as vanilla town before. Yet you think I scum still?
You claim Doctor as vanilla all the time under the exact same circumstances?
If I recall correctly, she did fake claim doctor while being wagoned as VT in the past

Do you think it's scum indicative? I think it might be because I know Hu Tao's wagon is shit.

There's no difference, and you are right that in this game it's just called "townie", but in this site the common term is "Vanilla Townie" so people use it anyway.

There, I am caught up.

Now can we stop wagoning HT and start wagoning Elements who's been lurking since they've been caught?

Yeah I should

Wow that was easy. I was wondering whether it's AI for Elements to be so easy to persuade, but luckily Kyoko is here so I don't have to do any meta research.

Black targeted Gamma with Babysit
Someone killed Black
Black died, and as a result, Gamma also died because that's how Babysitter works

^Most likely imo. There are possibilities of vig (I think singleball means there can't be SK, or does that just mean there can't be more than one groupscum faction?) being involved, possible that Black hid behind Gamma and Gamma was killed by a vig, leading to Black dying as a result, while the scum kill was stopped somehow.

I think Hiding behind Gamma or Hu Tao does not make sense though, because they're like magnets for kills last Night, so probably Black babysitted Gamma

They are still trying to confuse things by saying they protected Gamma when they didn't
. Where is the town motivation there?
I didn't see this happen, was I reading too fast?
