I voted you because unlike what smileydude things, I do not think posts like 45 and 50 are indicators of town behavior. In fact, those posts are pro-scum as you're blatantly rolefishing. And you're covering it up by a thin veil of "oh don't mind me, I'm just scum, JK, teehee."

Read my post again. I never said I don't scumhunt. Generating content isn't my forte. I'm the type that will reread the game several times at different angles.

As far as me not having much to say, it's because the game has been terribly droll so far. And the best tool for early content and scumhunting, which is wagon analysis, was argued as scummy by another player.

If you thought PC's early posts were indicative of scum rolefishing, why did they only come up here instead of when you originally voted them. At what point would you say you reached that conclusion?
I feel as though those posts are pretty obviously rolefishing and that I shouldn't have to point them out. Like I said before, people are free to question votes.

Nobody really joined the PC wagon, so I mostly assumed people were fine with those posts (especially you considering you said you liked those posts).

How so?
A lot of your responses to PC's individual comments have been needlessly antagonistic, especially in the last page and a half, and it feeds into my earlier concern about worst-faith readings of each other. Smiley brings up a good point about it being weird that the rolefishing stuff is only just coming up now, and the "analyzer" business you discussed was not at all consistent with your earlier posting in the thread, making it seem like something you made up on the spot to deflect PC's criticism. You also say that nobody really jumped on the PC wagon so you didn't push it, but multiple people besides you/PC voted him around that time so I certainly don't buy that.

In general you come off as someone who isn't properly showing their thought processes, and you play it off by suggesting we should all just know what you're thinking. That's not a super healthy dynamic to bring to the thread, and it feels anti-town.
What are you even talking about the rolefishing stuff 'only coming up now'? It's been two days and only 9 pages into the game. To say something from the early game is suddenly 'whoa, that's from so long ago, why is it suddenly a concern' is preposterous.

The people who jumped on the wagon were Dave and yessiree. I was hoping they saw the same thing I did, but neither of them voted for the same reason I did.
And no one jumped on after me.
By people jumping onto the wagon, I mean for the rolefishing. Which is what we were talking about. And we even had people say they liked the 'rolefishing' posts with no real rebuttal, which, once again, makes me think people were mostly okay with those posts.

I didn't say you should all know what I'm thinking. I even said people can ask. But there hasn't been much for me to comment on, because I don't find a lot of the discussion or what's happened alignment indicative.

What do you mean by worst-faith readings of each other?

In post 223, StraightFlush wrote: I'm not saying "woah, that's from so long ago" about anything, that's disingenuous. The point is that it should've been discussed earlier instead of getting dredged up during a separate spat. Am I used to faster games where D1 would be done by now? Yes. Is that really coming into play here? No.

That's a silly perspective to have about the wagon. People can be on the same wagon with different reasons for it. Just because you were the last one aboard before it fizzled out doesn't mean it was a non-starter.

snip

By worst-faith I mean that if I put myself in your shoes whilst talking with PC, I would probably be less standoffish, regardless of how suspicious I'd be about PC's thread behavior. I would have to make a conscious effort to react the way you reacted to his retorts, which makes me read it as contrived and anti-town.
Then what is your point about it being brought up now rather than later? Could it have been brought up earlier? Perhaps. But I was on V/LA (still am actually) and no one else seemed interested in the topic otherwise we would have had a discussion there already (see smiley for having brought up the topic before me).

I never called the wagon a non-starter.

Okay. Put yourself in my shoes then. Tell me how you would've handled his continuous attempts at attempted to paint me as scummy until something sticks.

I don't like to be one to tell others how to play their roles. But in my mind, hiders are supposed to crumb targets so that if they die, we can go back and figure out their trail of targets. Not expose themselves to the scumteam so that when the hider targets town, scum get a two-for-one special.

I find it interesting all of the people that are voting me are people I don't know. All the people that have experience with me aren't voting me.

Nope. They're all not voting me for ??? reasons. And I just thought it was interesting. I didn't think they'd all be off my wagon. Although Titus seems like the only reason she isn't voting me is because she thinks it's my first game back.

Is it lack of self awareness or lack of something else entirely? Because the E-2 situation isn't anything new since the last time I checked in.

I'm going to be honest, I don't know why the people who are voting PC are voting him over me. Which makes things difficult to evaluate.

If we want to believe PC crumbed (instead of rolefished), then he should be the less desirable elimination choice. I do know Titus doesn't really believe the crumbs though.

It's mostly the rolefishing and the way they handled our 1v1.In our engagement, it seemed as though they were just trying to paint a target red rather than actual sorting.

It's good to see this day phase hasn't passed me by as well.

yessiree being scum is a big disappointment for me reads wise, but I suppose me not being there yesterday was beneficial in that I couldn't be a distraction from the wagon.

The two remaining players from my wagon day 1 are blackstar and kayjay, and I'm inclined to believe they are both town. I have a sneaking suspicion my wagon was all-town and that PC was the scum-counterwagon to me.

This leaves me with PenguinPower and Titus from the PC wagon on Day 1. Titus I'm already suspicious of, and I suppose PenguinPower could be scum. But I don't think both can be scum together, as that would mean all three scum were voting PC.

The off-wagon votes (from from Day 1 PC and BS wagons) are Hu Tao and Random Nurse. Hu Tao could be argued as an early busser of yessiree, but probably not. Random Nurse was mostly inactive and avoided both wagons. Between the two, I'm more inclined to believe the Random Nurse slot to be scum.

PenguinPower, Titus, and Enchant slot (aka Random Nurse slot) were also on the StraightFlush (town) elimination instead of the Day 2 yessiree (scum) wagon. This makes me believe the remaining two scum are within those three.

Titus and Enchant were also on the backend of the yessiree elimination, which makes me think one of the two could have been bussing. Of the two, I think the Enchant slot is scummier. And Enchant hammered scum without a claim, which reflects poorly in my eyes as I feel a scumbuddy would feel more comfortable to do so. I believe PenguinPower was also claiming intent, so we can lump him in as a potential late busser as well.

PenguinPower and Titus have a tendency to be on the same wagon, which makes me think they're not together. And the end of Day 3 where Penguin asks for a claim and Enchant just hammers also makes me think those two are not together.

So if I had to pick two for the scumteam, I'd probably go with Enchant and Titus.

I don't feel like it was rushed.

Penguin botched his claim and had a terrible reaction after the fact. And the slot was getting replaced. I thought there was a decent chance it was scum and was ready to eliminate it.

I thought this was a slamdunk elimination, but the Blackstar-Penguin discrepancy makes me think otherwise.

Isn't that the same thing?
There are more than one way for Penguin to get a No Result. Rolestopper is one of them.

Between the two of you, Hu Tao is confirmed to exist (or most likely to exist since no one has counter-claimed her on that result). You are not confirmed.

As far as final votes go, Blackstar started off on two town eliminations before being off the yessiree elimination. He was off the Penguin elimination, but overall his voting history does not look as good as Hu Tao's.

Hu Tao, on the other hand, was off both the first two town eliminations and on the yessiree elimination. They were also on the Penguin elimination, but considering the speed of the elimination after Penguin's claim, it's hard to say what she would have done if given the chance to respond after the claim. One could also argue Hu Tao went for the long bus on Yessiree. On day two, yessiree was a consistent vote that she chose over straightflush, who she had been voting at end of Day 1. This makes me feel better about her vote there and not as worried about bussing. She also did not tend to chase wagons, typically voting by herself or at the front of a wagon (first or second). This voting pattern makes me think she didn't want too much attention (I could be wrong here), and falls in line with her playing like a protective role.

So as far as voting goes, I'm leaning toward Hu Tao-town.

I believe PenguinPower was also claiming intent, so we can lump him in as a potential late busser as well.

PenguinPower and Titus have a tendency to be on the same wagon, which makes me think they're not together. And the end of Day 3 where Penguin asks for a claim and Enchant just hammers also makes me think those two are not together.

So if I had to pick two for the scumteam, I'd probably go with Enchant and Titus.

282 made me wrinkle my nose as I thought it was a weak reason to not eliminate me on Day 1. She did say she leaned town on me, although I'm not sure if this was legitimate or early buddying.

Early Day 2, she started voting yessiree before stating 838 and voting straightflush. Seems reasonable to vote StraightFlush there. Perhaps town influenced by groupthink? Does return to voting yessiree next day.

I made a vca post grouping Titus and Enchant. Titus responds by declaring we should eliminate Enchant then me then Penguin. For some reason I don't get this as serious and more of a bluff. At the time, I could see this being made by scum-Titus if Enchant were scum too (eliminate partner, then the two mislims needed for a win). But knowing that Titus has to be paired with Hu Tao if scum, this makes less sense as a scum post.

It's not strong by any means, but I can see a world where Titus is town here.

My biggest issue right now pertains to the yessiree wagon. If Hu Tao and Titus are both town, then Kay and Enchant are the only potential bussers there.

Blackstar being scum would mean there was scum on my wagon Day 1.

If you're talking about me, then yes, I suppose it can be interpreted that way.

Blackstar can't eliminate Dannflor without Enchant's vote, so I suppose we're eliminating Blackstar.

Dannflor's setup spec is close to what I had in mind, but others were adamant about there being 2 scum pr's.

I personally do not think a Vanilla Cop and a Town Reporter are that strong.

I voted Titus because if Titus/Hu Tao were town, then it would mean a BlackStar/Kay scumteam. I've been townreading Kay for most of this game, so I thought it was more likely for it to just be Titus/HuTao scumteam.

Why do you think it could be BlackStar/Titus? I don't think Titus can be scum with anyone other than Hu Tao.

After reading some of Enchant's posts, I feel ready to vote BlackStar.

Just holding off in case anyone wants the discussion to continue.

If Hu Tao is town, then she will probably be night-killed. So why not give her another chance to say what she needs to.

If Hu Tao is scum, it doesn't really matter what she wants to say because the game will end.

I am currently moving forward with the hopes Hu Tao is town. So I am giving her the chance to say what she needs to.

I feel this is pretty much a 50/50 between me and Kay. A no elim will pretty much just remove Dann. I feel the extra player could be helpful today, unless you just want to have the final say on the elimination.

Despite having 4 power roles, I did not think town had a lot of power in this game and can understand why you would want to put 3 goons. However, the number of power roles town had naturally makes one think mafia has as least one power role, even if it's a weak one. But this is all just my opinion.

I noticed the vote tracker, but I did not utilize it.

Kay, I wouldn't beat yourself up over this game. You were the most resistant to the idea of Enchant being cleared. And I probably would've screwed up in your place. This was also not a good game for me and I can understand if you just thought I was scummy.

You were my strongest townread this game. But the setup discussion also made it impossible for me to think it was Enchant.
