if the result is Scum, that player is Town.
As a general point of discussion, I buy gnarly’s claim. It seems very plausible, but more importantly there is no scum motivation I can think of for his claim. You’d be inviting strutiny for literally no reason whatsoever, and your claim doesn’t affect the lynch (since it doesn’t require us to unvote anybody).
Gnarly, do you have a preference for which of sinjin or Mahaloth you’d prefer to see dead for this lynch? I’m still torn on which is the best option. I think the most likely course would be for a scum Darth or scum sinjin to recruit Mahaloth. Scum sinjin likely wouldn’t recruit Darth, who was under heavy suspicion. Ditto for Darth regards sinjin, as sinjin was looking suspicious.
If Mahaloth is the scummer, he likely recruited sinjin. But it’s also possible there was no recruitment at all, and I’m wrong about the game state. In which case, I’d vote sinjin dies first.
A recruitment seems likely, given how stacked against scum the game would have been otherwise, which makes Mahaloth the ideal first candidate for lynch. Sinjin is still so scummy-looking to me, though.
Unvote
Vote sinjin
vote hammer
Why didn’t you claim yesterday, if you had an investigation that showed a top lynch candidate to be town?
I would also like to know this.
unvote all
vote Gnarly Charlie
Vote Astral his recruited scum buddy.
partly to save myself for one more investigation. it’s unfortunate septimus was killed. partly because Astral said he could save himself.
you’re grasping. why would i claim without pressure? i wasn’t being voted. if i were scum and you were town, i would have just kept my mouth shut and lynched you.
furthermore why claim such a role? it would have been easier to claim a more straightforward one.
finally there are so few power roles. is it really surprising there still was one? note also that my character is canon. after Holmes and Watson, Lestrade is the most known character.
if you’re town you just signed your death warrant.
if there were recruitment Mahaloth may be the safer choice. if he were recruited we stave off a loss. if he isn’t there wasn’t recruitment and we would be okay.
how likely is it that sinjin and Darth are both scum?
I am town and I think you know it. If you were town you would have told us yesterDay that Astral was most definitely town and there would have been no need for him to use his power to save himself and someone else. If you had read along to end of day you would have known that he could protect you yesterDay too. Your excuses make zero sense.
You have been too bold trying to get two town (Septimus and me) by playing this investigative chicanery.
Of course you buy into his claim. He exonerated you in his claim. Why didn’t he claim yesterday and exonerate you then. I would be dead now, but his way you get rid of Septimus who voted you yesterday and set me up for a lynch today. Win, win for scum.
I appreciate that you’re playing this to the bitter end, and I accept the possibility I’ve been completely bamboozled by the scum team this entire game. However, I do not believe you are town. You are trying to “sway” me, but you think I’m scum, and that’s parodoxically nonsensical.
I don’t believe a town sinjin would try to convince a scum astral about the wrongness of his vote. If you truly thought I was scum, you’d be trying to convince Darth to switch his vote instead. Therefore, I don’t believe you truly think I’m scum. And if you don’t think I’m scum, your vote only makes sense if it comes from scum.
I almost voted to hammer, but on second thought that’s silly. Darth has a reason, I assume, for not voting yet. When he does, that will instantly end the day.
Darth, your thoughts?
I think you’re a bit anxious to end the day. I already have a vote on sinjin (you, me, mahaloth - gnarly doesn’t have any votes down at the moment)
Right now, my suspicion of you/gnarly is increasing. It simply doesn’t make sense to me to not make the detective claim when you have a cleared town when we are nearing LyLo. Unless he was recruited - he hasn’t been getting much heat and would be a good target.
I am planning to place a vote back down later in the day, but right now we seem to be vulnerable to a hammer from gnarly.
unvote sinjin
Sorry, forgot who hadn’t voted yet. I wouldn’t say I’m anxious… we just had Friday with zero posts, and today with very few. I’d like to get a move on, is all.
Besides, do you see what I’m saying about sinjin? There’s no way a town sinjin says “Astral, I think you’re scum, but listen to all my evidence about why you should vote for your scum buddy!”
That doesn’t make any kind of sense.
Went back and reread. If gnarly had wanted to kill the day with a lynch on sinjin, he had chances to do so when he was active, including responses directly to sinjin.
That assuages at least some of my uncertainty.
vote sinjin
Sorry town, I played sucky the whole game.
i guess there won’t be any more in depth discussions.
Vote sinjin
**Mahaloth **maybe a safer bet if there was recruitment but that isn’t happening.
That instantly hammered us either way. In my head I was going back and forth on who was the better lynch. Ultimately, I think the case on sinjin is better, based on actual words and events, rather than the specter of a possible recruitment.
In case I’m scum killed tonight, I strongly recommend lynching Mahaloth. He has steadfastly ignored pretty much all of the questions laid at his feet, and he’s the most likely candidate for lynch.
If there were two scum left already, Story likely wouldn’t have felt it necessary to give them a big power to make up for any loss, so I think recruitment was likely. Mahaloth is the clearest recruitment target, and his play has done nothing to dissuade me.
i expect that i will bite it.
