Hmmm, how can I hammer someone in my TR-neutral list. My conscience is holding me back lol. You make a good point though that she's not scumhunting hard enough.

But if Mala is purposely delaying, I guess I'll hammer. How many hours are there left?

Weird, the date/time is wrong both on my laptop and tablet. Anyway, I think we still have more than a day (if my calculations are right). If Mala doesn't do it by my noon tomorrow, I'll do it.

But I'd really like to hear from Alianna. Why are you not scumhunting? Who is on your town/scum list now?

My current thoughts are: I agree with eliminating Alianna, and I'm fine with either eliminating hutmeil or you tomorrow.

VOTE: ali
No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

So what's everyone's thoughts on who should be eliminated today? I would want to eliminate either hutmeil or WD today.

This... is very disappointing. I am really disappointed of myself in this game. We are getting screwed like hell and this is our last chance. I only ask that no one cast votes unless they are absolutely certain, because this is ELo ("eliminate or lose") and it takes just three votes for someone to go down. The plus side is that here {
Malakittens
,
whiskey delta
,
Tidus of the X
and
hutmeil
} we have exactly two scums. I am going to analyse all four that's left and hope that it's not just a 50% chance at this point.

I will push through with my WD vote. But I want to hear from everyone first.

Think about this. WD is on both Town (mis)lynches from D1 to D2. Same with Greeting.

D1 - furtiveglance (5): Roden,
Greeting
, hutmeil, Alianna,
whiskey delta

D2 - Alianna (4): BlueBloodedToffee,
Greeting, whiskey delta
, Malakittens

WD has been moving from wagon to wagon both days as I've said earlier. He's been on my scum list since D1.

I used to play a lot but it’s probably been about ~3 years since I did last. My home website went the way of the dodo sadly
WD asked this early in the game. I believe, scum strategy was to elim the strongest players first.

As for Greeting, she's been in my neutral list for a while. However, she's been posting safely so she fits my "not being so active but active enough to not get called out” theory. She also on both mislynch wagons so she's shifted to my SR. Meta-wise, I think mod would want at least one SE on the scum side. The other 2 SEs are dead, so that leaves only her.

I'm 100% on WD. If Greeting is not WD's partner though, I'd say it's Tidus. Why? Because Tidus also fits my "not being so active but active enough to not get called out” theory. He's been on my lurker list for a long time. And he has no meaningful contribution to the game but hasn't been called out for a long time (ISO him and see).

“I think mod would want at least one SE on the scum side”

That’s not how role assignments work (or they shouldn’t). It’s supposed to be random.

There’s really not much for me to say here. I played a bad game and it is what it is. I really have no clue who the scum could be at this point. At the very least let everyone post before any votes are thrown down.

I disagree. This is a newbie game. If all 3 SEs are Town, scum would be at a great disadvantage which is not good for the game. If I were the mod, I'd want to keep the game balanced and not lopsided. Are you trying to save Greeting?

As someone who has hosted a game on MafiaScum, I can assure you that all draws are random and must be randomised in accordance with sitewide guidelines. Hosts are held accountable for their games by the moderation team, and Newbie games hosts have higher requirements than hosts for other games, because these games are meant to provide a very standardised experience for new players to learn from.

What I am thinking as of this moment is that either
Malakittens
has been pulling the strings for most of the game and I have allowed myself to be pocket her with reciprocation or that we have two Newbies, like any pairing from {
Tidus of the X
, yourself,
whiskey delta
} who are kicking ass. And to be fair, I do not think one is more likely than the other.

My vote history is bad and there's no use of me denying it. My performance in this game has been below my own expectations. Sorry, team.

But, if you take a more detailed look than at just the final vote tallies, you'll find this post:

You were just as much willing to hammer
Alianna
, just
Malakittens
beat you to it. And if you did hammer instead of
Malakittens
, the list would include not just me and
whiskey delta
, but yourself as well. But you conveniently left that out, didn't you? I guess now you could be explaining that you didn't really mean to hammer
Alianna
, but I'm not sure if anyone is buying it.
