Later topic 2

SirChris posted...

Anyway I am tired, but one last thing.

I think the criteria for reading into people that Ulti and now Sultan is employing is deeply flawed. i won't speak for Han's original vote but having problems with lists or surface level things like people not developing strong reads early isn't beneficial for town. There's a big difference between "I don't like someone did this" and "I can see the scum motivation behind it."

To vote JC I would need someone to lay it out for me why scum JC goes after death on a gut read when death is a really good player. Why would scum JC pick a fight with death there? What's the motivation? How does scum JC benefit from doing that with a weak reason? What does it accomplish for him? Why not sheep me? Why not attack a weaker player?

Chris really getting on anyone voting JC

Up until page 4 topic 3 JC still doesn't return. Chris continues to defend JC hard and even put JC on his vote Veto list.

Sheep also throws a little shade at Han but not for thought on JC but sorta defining JC

I want to slightly recant my Lea town soulread. I think it was valid for it to be pointed out that she made Death more palatable to put pressure on - pair that with starting the Chris train just now and Im seeing a lot of guiding the vote but not much scumhunting

slightly concerning

Death >>>>>>>>>> Han > Chris for my lynch/claim pref of the 3

Chaeix posted...
Id prefer to lynch Ulti over Han or Chris personally


So JC before the lynch

No I was being sarcastic and tried making a dumb joke that didnt quite land. I blame the lack of morning coffee ha.

I think sheeps post was harmless (regardless of sheeps alignment) and I dont think its the best use of town resources to spend a lot more time on sheep after he was such a focus d1. In other words sheep shouldnt be viewed as definite town but I think theres bigger fish to fry to start the day. I dont really like ulti being critical of the post by sheep.

In your defense I should have seen that whole post as a joke.

  • would like ulti to answer ctes dang question(s)

  • sheep and ulti both need to take a stance on JC and either move their votes on to JC or give their reasoning why they are not willing to vote him. Not good enough to just move off isquen

There's a sweet spot somewhere between flooding the topic and not posting at all while someone catches up. The idea to not post at all for any period of time is ridiculous.

You can instead all go answer my question to Sheep on the previous page while you wait.

At end of day she never really mentioned Han as much as she did death. She thought Death was town to.. so not voting Death makes sense. Ulti and Han were on the table as well.

I'm just confused that she didn't push a different chain as much and just piled onto a lynch she was against
I had actually made it pretty clear I didn't really "trust" Chris and that the one thing townvibing me was the mindmelds we kept having. I'm like, never going to townclear Chris for any reason ever. Same for Ulti.

Han at EoD just looked... Better than Chris did. I asked for good arguments against Chris, and Lea gave me one, to which I really had no counterargument to make. The train on Han felt like it had the weakest justification. Sheep's weak vote in particular kinda killed the Han train for me because something about it felt super duper wrong. Death my early townread never buckled on because damnit I can read Death.

I had 3 options I did not like, and simply voted for the best one of the bunch.

Sheep007 posted...
Hm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying you think Chris putting up an attack on Sultan that multiple people didn't quite get makes Sultan more likely to be Scum?

What do you think of Sultan aside from that?
Oh and actually yes, a little bit. It's clear in hindsight Chris was acting with bravado. I kinda get the impression he never intended to stay on him.

Oh and I feel like BCT would only place that vote there as scum if someone else on his team told him to do it which opens up a whole new can of worms I'm not interested in as I am not interested in lynching BCT.

Sheep's post is the kind of thing that we all think about and usually just don't post. It adds onto the many weirdnesses of Sheep this game but does not amount to a reason for suspicion.

Uh I never said you were gaslighting Death, I just wanted to put words in Sheep's mouth after he offhandedly dropped suspicion of you for essentially no reason and see what he did about it.

Then you and Death both decided to interfere with my experiment so thanks.

Hi, I'm briefly awake. I know I've got a lot of catch up to do, but fortunately was mostly paying attention for day 1. The upside for today is that I work alone at a slow branch tonight until 8 eastern, so can do some thinking (if not heavy posting) then. Some quick thoughts:

- Voting Mzero to put heat on him appears lazy, and my gut immediately wants to aim at Crescent, but that's purely visceral.
- While I appreciate Dumey posting a long string of quotes in pursuit of someone, the... amount he looks into someone (that was killed night 1) is baffling.
- Low hanging fruit squad assemble. I thank Sultan for the ISO, though I need to go verify it myself. Later. I'm still sleepy, and my commute starts in an hour and a half. Until then, tracked and tagging this/prior topics for now.

Making MZero actually do something was everyone's primary goal and he in fact did something so it achieved it's purpose. I don't read much into it on anyone.

Man, I really thought Death looked scum after Chris flipped.
Although hopefully having two lynch candidates flipped can give some feedback upon looking back. That will be step one I guess.

I feel like this is a strange read. I was pretty much the biggest pusher of the Death suspicion, and even I thought end of day made Death look incredibly townie. From the lack of any effort from scum to move the lynch from him, to him not willing to vote Chris in his own defense, etc. I think it would have been better if he was a bit more proactive instead of acting defeated, but I'm not sure how Chris flipping scum would make Death look worse somehow.

You even mention in the very next post about Chris going to sleep before deadline, which wouldn't make sense if Death was scum!

ctesjbuvf posted...
I don't think Chris flipping clears Sultan. He knows better than that. Honestly, his case sounding weak makes it more than likely that it was a true case more than anything. Similar to how his weak defense of Death is now known to be true.

I also don't like this analysis of trying to keep Sultan on the table based on Chris' flip. One of the biggest reasons Chris looked bad there was his very weak push of Sultan, after spending hours of building up tension between Chris/Ulti/Han. Is Chris bussing Sultan to try and get town cred possible there? Sure, but this analysis feeling backwards right after the other post is maybe more noticeable to me atm.

For what it's worth, I did like your analysis of people speculating on Death's kill. I think it's hard to believe scum are killing claimed Vanillas instead of power hunting unless they thought Death was lying for some reason. So your analysis of Sheep/Ulti and the whole "discussing the plan" thing is interesting to me.

about the night kill with the following:

This post is one of those revealing-the-plan that scum likes to make.

If we try to imagine that you were wrong and I'm right that Death was not the intended kill for the purpose of the exercise, what would be more likely. Town Ulti believes you're scum sharing the actual thought process of the team as indicated, or scum Ulti knowing this is not what happened wanting it to not be looked into by making it sound like you're right and getting to attack someone in the same progress?


Are you claiming to be a busdriver or more so that one is out there somewhere?

I think at some point Chris must have pressured scum without really doing it, his votes are all over. I first thought that was Death but it was clearly not. I would not think Sutlan was more or less on the table regardless of what Chris flips, for what it's worth.
