I don't even know why you bothered with the night chats

I was getting data to sanity check whether Lea was just going along with any suspicions I gave and being friendly or actually trying to help find scum

That was just an interesting find

It's like... what is there to analyze? Death is dead. Chris isn't. Death is bodyguard, so it's either him or Chris that was NK'd. There's not a whole lot of possibilities here, so it's no wonder most people ended up at the same conclusion.

I literally gave you a detailed analysis of night chat discussions that makes it pretty obvious that scum doesn't kill Chris

You being obtuse and claiming it's still a 50-50 situation feels scummish.

My point is people should basically be treating Death's flip as vanilla right now. It has basically no value in clearing Chris.

I honestly would like a better reason to actually lynch Sultan

Feels like it's mostly "these guys are town and Sultan is not" which is cop outty

MZero is the one you didn't mention here

Mzero I'm leaning town but soft bus of Peaf is possible despite me thinking it clears him. He also said occulam's Razor and cleared Chris quick which I did not like.

Kirby321 posted...

I don't think Death being the NK target is alignment indicative to Chris

I don't think so either that's not my point

I'm saying the analysis surrounding Death and Chris doesn't feel organic and people are eager to jump to conclusions one way or another

It feels like this shouldn't weigh a lot if you were already suspecting Chris, and the 99% if Death was shot is a nonsense statistic that is likely irrelevant because what scum team shoots Chris here

Ultimately I think that my logic of "Death Corrik and Isquen are town because scum doesn't play passively enough when finding dates to be left there" is pretty solid. And Peaf was battling that too, note.

EDumey posted...

Lopen and Lea, if neither of you are comfortable throwing me in the townie list, who out of Chris, FD, Red, Corrik, MZero, Sultan would you want to take out of the fight?

I'd sooner date you than Red at the moment. I think Sultan feels town. I think Corrik actually feels town. I think FD is probably town. Chris I'm on the fence and probably town but literally everyone in the game having some suspicion of him and multiple people willing to just say "well yeah he was bodyguarded" rather than reaching the better conclusion of "Death was killed" has me nervous.

The dumb answer here is that Ulti and Red are just the scumteam being blatant with a smart cop with awestruck rookie gimmick thing going on and I could see it.

So I'd date anyone but Red on that list.

Don't love the Lea post there. I don't think "turning" is exactly what I was doing.

Also think it's interesting that Chris supported my line of attack on Isquen which wasn't really great but violently battled my line of attack on Peaf at every step.

People who pushed for your suspicion today after bg flip

Ulti
Sultan
Isquen
Also me but I don't count imo

Red was also perhaps a bit basic in his analysis which pinged me as well. He insisted you were cleared as though you were obviously shot-- a lot of people in the game did not do that and after some analysis of suspect lists I would be extremely surprised if Death was not shot directly. He also insisted that scum would not shoot a bodyguard but would use their roleblocker on it perpetually? Did not make any sense to me.

I suspect Isquen more than Corrik at the moment basically entirely due to Isquen immediately absorbing the nuance of the BG role when he said he didn't register Peaf was scum.

I'm not sure he's scum but really absorbing that it's hard to accept for me.

Anyway

I'll date you for realsies today if you don't find any dates. So no worries. Solve and stuff

Let's sweep em.

Also good work lopen. You manifested your day 1 scum kill lol

Day 1 scum kill always believe. That's what wins mafia games imo

Isquen posted...

I am also ashamed to admit just how thick *I* am for not realizing Peaf was scum until a couple minutes ago.

This is super interesting in the context of

Isquen posted...

Didnt read the flip. He either bodyguarded Chris or was directly targeted.

This.

Why did Isquen know THIS flip like instantly when me glancing at it didn't absorb that when he didn't absorb Peaf was scum for 24 hours

Part of me is thinking Death got shot entirely so Chris could not towncase himself and end isolated today.

Now I need to think who was really going on Chris today even after the BG flip.

SirChris posted...

mzeros interactions with peaf don't seem partnered at all

I think I believe Chris's recount entirely due to this

This was something I found when Isoing Peaf as well. And it was notable as basically the only person who said anything anti-Peaf aside from me until late day

Incidentally this is why I'm considering if scum Lea is possible

She didn't really seem to have suspects of her own. Those were all mine. She did help talk through it but perhaps that was just her feeding rope to hang myself with.

In particular that we were the only room that gave scum Dumey ANY talk (and that she was actually going for it perhaps more than I was) is certainly interesting to me. She also brought up Ulti as a suspect more than me to her credit, like it wasn't all sheeping me or anything but she didn't bring any suspects that were like "nope" and we were full vibing on Dumey at least being worth considering (though I had mentioned I don't think Dumey and Chris are paired because Dumey had a big rant post on Chris that didn't feel theatre)

Given Death was killed and we were basically talking up a gameplan where we went after Death first as a feint to see if suspected scum would pair though, I don't know. Kinda think I'm overthinking it and it's Lea's personality to play along with ideas given and explore them rather than provide her own contradictory ideas. I dunno.

EDumey posted...

You know my answer to this. Did you and Lea humour the idea of scum Sultan at all?

Our only scum suspect talk were the four I mentioned.

Lea talked about Sultan and Mzero but not in a suspect manner.

Mzero x Sultan Chris
Dumey x JC Chris Ulti
Corrik x Isquen None

Here are the teams that did not mention suspicion of Death

Doesn't necessarily mean anything but if you assume scum is out for mislynches I would imagine at least one scum would be in these rooms.

However I could absolutely have seen Death being a straight power read.

The other funny angle to consider is if it was done to frame Chris with scum seeing multiple rooms suspecting him and backfired tremendously.

Second question did any rooms have major discussions on suspects other than those 4?

Ok so all teams aside from Chris answered

Mzero x Sultan Chris
Ulti x Red Chris Death
Dumey x JC Chris Ulti
FD x Kirby Chris Death Ulti
Corrik x Isquen None
Chris x Death ?
Lopen x Lea Chris Dumey Death Ulti

Literally every team in the game that talked suspected Chris

Unless scum paired with scum I'd say its nearly impossible Chris was NKed and Death was shot directly as scum would know at least two town suspected him heavily and that combined with general vibe, I really doubt he's killed.

Also our team was the ONLY one who suspected Dumey.

Very curious.

Gordon

I'm sorta kicking around whether Kirby x Lea x Peaf makes sense

I'll have to think about it

Anyone who hasn't answered the previous question please do for more data

As many people who can answer that please do. I need to know.

Question

Did anyone analyze last night thinking one of the following. If so how many

- Chris was likely scum
- Dumey was likely scum
- Death was likely scum
- Ulti was likely scum

Just wondering

I would volunteer to pair with mzero but I want the power to murder people

Forceful_Dragon posted...

Maybe ulti has just never spent the night phase reading and analyzing the game, so this feels like magic to him the way modern science would in the 1800s.

Hahaha. This is hilarious by the way

Well played

red13n posted...

Hell if they claim bodyguard you still don't shoot them

... yes you do

You can push the narrative of "Chris was targeted by nk night 1 he's town"

I also kinda doubt the setup has roleblocker but you assuming it's a given is odd

The only one awestruck by that chat Ulti posted is Ulti

You can do more we won't mind

Kirby321 posted...

I like how Sultan's response to Dumey suspecting him is "Hey bro how about we pair up? Could be interesting" lol

It's so Sultan though

I am absolutely against lynching Sultan atm

I know this because I isoed peaf off the top of my head

Sultan shaded you more than Peaf because you were on his case for doing the same thing with Peaf you said zsultan was doing with mzero

Which is fair

Like I don't think it would mean much unless he floated his claim in scumchat and you'd expect someone to say "hell no don't claim that"

Well his claim was awful too

No one would jump off to save Ned Flanders

Scams did exist so that's a wrong thing to think

Scams existed but the barrier to entry was higher and it was harder to be convincing and profitable

EDumey posted...

The part that I don't get is that he didn't even try to extend a date to anyone else. Only Kirby. Maybe he just knew he was caught.

I think the part about him driving to work or whatever was not a lie and he just got back on and was like "welp looks like I'm hosed"

It was disingenuous because he knew red wouldn't do it

Forceful_Dragon posted...

it felt like Ulti knew peaf would flip town and wanted to gain town points for having that read.

The reason its a load of wifom to me is Ulti had no reason to think he was town with that amount of certainty and it certain runs counter to his whole "I wanna live through day 1 screw you mo"

It was a disingenuous gesture. I will say it's a disingenuous gesture in his town range but I wouldn't call it anything worth any town cted

Forceful_Dragon posted...

It would be SUCH a weird move to do as scum if you knew a scum flip was incoming. Ulti would have looked a lot worse today if Peaf flipped town power

If Ulti is scum he knows Peaf's flip what are you even talking about

I thought Ulti was town early
Then thought he was scum for his overly "if Peaf is town blah blah blah" and laziness and enabling red to lurk
Then I came around to thinking he was town who just didn't want to stress about defending himself and knew red would prioritize living

Start of day he's been super ass kissy of red and has an incoherent POE despite red being such a wealth of knowledge which has me suspecting scum again

So who does everyone think the scum are and why

Iron Man has always been solid B Tier. Plenty of non comic people knew who he was. My mom knew who he was for crissakes

Marvel movies boosted him to A tier from B tier not to B tier from C or lower.

That's so wild

Lea and I filled a million pages

A lot of it was just me sharing stuff as I ISOed peaf but yeah it's kinda crazy a room existed with like 7 lines

Dedf1sh posted...

this exact same story could have happened by Photoshopping fake event pics 25 years ago.

Not necessarily

I do agree the AI is clickbait and it's just a standard false advertising

But the emerging ease of convincing false advertising is concerning. I do not think Photoshop could be used to generate pics like this without more effort and skill than it would take for the scam to be profitable

Forceful_Dragon posted...

Maybe but Chris wouldn't have known death could ONLY protect himself unless death said something. So that would be a heck of a happy coincidence to also give the appearance that Chris was the NK target.

Happy coincidence would be the angle there yeah

I honestly don't see Chris as a N1 kill in this game so it almost feels more plausible

Chaeix posted...

I'm pretty skeptical Chris/Dumey D1 was a performance

I did say this to Lea and that's why we didn't just say "it's Chris and Dumey done"

htaeD posted...

On the other hand I feel if too many players offer themselves it will just tell scum where the players who dont want to die, the powers, are hiding.

Like what are the odds Death got iced for this post (t3p202) and it had nothing to do with his bodyguarding

Or what if Chris subtly figured out he was power during their chat in concert with that post

If you read JUST peaf posts and peaf related posts that's so clearly it it hurts.

But Dumey x Peaf as a gambit is a hard sell
Death being shot direct is a hard sell

But they're both plausible at least. I don't think Death had a lot of suspicion and it could have been power hunting based on how he was talking about "not exposing power roles"

And what are the odds the conversation just went south and scum was like

I want to clear Chris but you look at day 1 and Peaf interactions and he looks REALLY bad

And what are the odds that scum has some sort of other information role

What are the odds Chris lamented how screwed he was night 1 and Death was like HUH HUH WORRY NOT CITIZEN
