This community is kind of barely alive at this point. So I would say if anyone is interested in repping us they should just post here and volunteer and we'll call that a process.

I would, but (A) I don't have time and (B) I'm really bad at mafia lately.

Lesson learned: If I'm alive until the end of the game, Didds is scum :P

<3 you Didds. You and scola both played very well. My reads were honestly so bad this game. I'm not sure they could have been worse.

Just for future reference, it also happens that I'm town and I simply can't convince people to join me on my favorite exiles even though I'm legitimately trying, so that isn't particularly alignment-indicative when it happens — which is why I get away with it when I achieve that result on purpose as scum.

I don't understand what you're saying. This game you have been very effective at getting people to join you on your favorite exiles.

Awaclus is at the top of my list right now, but no real reason other than vague suspicion and POE of my town core.

Hopefully I've given you some other reasons?

vote: Awaclus

Having re-read, I think it's extremely likely Awaclus is scum.

I think that it's only somewhat likely scola is his partner.

Basically Awaclus has been on mathdude all game. Yesterday he said that mathdude's town flip would be informative, and implied that it would make scola seem townier (I think). But today he hasn't said anything about what we apparently learned from mathdude's flip, and he's voted for scola.

Awaclus has spent all game lecturing people about how his opinions about what's good for scum and town are "objectively correct" and theirs are not. But when given the opportunity to do something that pretty much everyone agrees is strictly correct play (no exiling with an even number of townies and no PRs), he waits for someone else to suggest it.

He was an instrumental part of the EFHW wagon and the mathdude wagon, the only two successful town exiles we've had in four days. He and I have both been on both wagons. MiX was on neither. Didds and scola were on one each (not the same one).

Given that MiX is getting ready to vote for scola, I think Awaclus/MiX is not at all out of the question as a scum team. Having one scum off/one on each successful wagon feels like how those two would do it for sure.

11
Awaclus

D1
RVS votes for MiX based on bold username theory
asks mod Q about # of JKs (everyone else assumes 1)
disagrees with me on the relative advantage/disadvantage of daychat for scum, disingenuously frames his personal disagreement as me being objectively wrong
complains about notifications
offers a drunk DAMA, which one person takes him up on. His response is snarky and unhelpful.
votes Joseph, clarifies the vote is serious (wagon position 2- kinda scummy)
switches vote to mathdude after Joseph wagon fails to gain traction
explains his mathdude vote (towny explanation)
argues with Didds about whether we should be treating this as a 1-scum or 2-scum game, disingenuously frames his personal disagreement as Didds being objectively wrong

D2
says that as scum, he always just kills the players who scumread him
votes EFHW after EFHW comes out against mathdude theory
makes a highly theoretical case against EFHW that in retrospect feels like BS

D3
makes this post sort of apologizing for not backing off of EFHW which I find very scummy
votes LaLight for hammering EFHW
votes no exile

D4
makes (?)joke about how we should have used the modkill as an extra exile
corrects his joke because the NK breaks it
goes back to voting math
explicitly mentions that "my favorite nightkill got exiled"
argues with scola about the utility of quick no exile rather than allowing time for discussion. In this case I do think he's objectively right.
makes a weak excuse for not being the first one to suggest no exile (which now that I think about it, for someone with so many opinions about objectively correct plays is pretty weird!)
pointless argument about whether LaLight was modkilled or scumkilled
convinces MiX to vote for math over scola because he thinks math's flip will be more informative because "if math is town against all expectations, it would be extremely useful to learn that today"

D5
shows up, conditionally agrees on my idea of letting Didds choose the exile
is running for parliament (not alignment indicative, unless you want to insert a joke about politicians being two-faced)
Re-reads everyone but him and posts summaries

Didds is pretty universally trusted at this point, which raises two questions.

1) Do we need to give her a closer look?
2) If not, is there some useful way we can put our fate in her hands and just agree to let her pick the day's exile?

I mean, if Didds is town and we just asked her to choose and three of us committed, ahead of time, to vote for that choice unless it's us, then she'd have a 50/50 shot, which of course wouldn't really be 50/50 because of reads and stuff. Which at this point seems pretty decent.

Man, 15 hours without a post. It is deader in here than all those townies we exiled.

This weekend I’ll embark on a traditional ExLo read through and see if I can crack the case. In the meantime, prod request: everyone

I suppose at this point Awa/scola makes the most sense to me.

But MiX's pessimism here doesn't ring particularly true. Might be time to take a closer look at MiX.

Scum can quick hammer off one wrong vote, so today we should be very careful not to put a vote down unless we're really really sure.

I know why no one died night 2. But if LaLight was modkilled that means no one died night 3 also. And there's no reasonable explanation for that.

The LaLight kill (if indeed it is such) sort of points to scum being one person who's had a lot of suspicion on them and one who's had very little.

Because if scum is like gkrieg-math, why not kill MiX or Didds or Awa, who all seem to be kind of aligned in that direction? But if the scum is, say, Awaclus-gkreig, then better to keep the strong town allies in play.

But even if Awaclus is scum, which I seem to be talking myself around to, I still would rather get the partner today, on the basis that it seems easier to get the consensus, especially because I 100% believe Awaclus will bus without a second thought.

Does scum!Awaclus vote his partner right out of the gate in a game where his partner only needs 4 votes to be exiled? Feels a bit too gutsy.

Awaclus has some good arguments, but they aren't correct.

Damn. I've got to admit to my mistake here: this defense from EFHW was weird, I realized it was weird, and instead of thinking through the reasons why that might have been like I should have, I just kept pushing the case in hopes of getting more info out of it and getting more clarity to the situation that way. But I guess at least the situation is pretty clear now!

This is the post that made me vote Awaclus yesterday. It feels calculated, like something scum had lots of time to come up with that would strike the right balance of apologetic and "no way I could have known". But idk, he's been so towny other than this.

Well, after a reread of LL, I don't see a whole lot there.  He basically re-read Joseph, said it seems to point to me, and had stuck with voting for me ever since.  He expressed suspicion of Awaclus "before he did the reread".  He then also voted EFHW to make sure we got an exile and he posted when the thread was locked.

If I was scum (SM), I just couldn't justify to myself to take out someone who points so directly at me.  And if I was traitor (I believe his death was before recruitment, right?) - I would hope/assume the SM would be smart enough to bus me for town-cred than to try and recruit me and waste a kill.  But I'm neither of those.  So either someone else had a different reason to kill LL (maybe he was one of the more town-read?)... or maybe someone realized it would be pretty easy to use a reread of LL to point to exiling me next.

I fully believe he LL got axed because he posted in the thread. It seems to me like that was something only town would do. No reread of him necessary.

I’m also not sure how your time line is messed up. It makes me wonder if it’s purposeful or just too hard to keep all of the (your) whacking and recruiting straight.
D1 no exile
N1 Joseph whacked
D2 EFHW exiled
N2 no nk (presumably traitor recruited)
D3 no exile to get to an odd number
N3 LL whacked
D4 is today

So you think scum no-killed? Why would they do that?

I haven't had time for a reread and may not.

Town is small enough now that a towncore approach appeals.

Right now I'm strongly townreading MiX and Didds. Awaclus too, though I'm a bit more wary there. That leaves scum somewhere in scola, gkrieg, or mathdude. I definitely get the sense that gkrieg and mathdude are both people who've had multiple wagons on them that didn't stick, which normally would be scummy, but given the nature of this game it may not be (since there was effectively 1 scum the first couple days).

I think it's a little odd that the day opening post didn't actual identify the night's victim. Can we get confirmation that LaLight was killed by scum rather than modkilled?

I mean, that’s got to be a too-scummy-to-be-scum situation right?

I’m sort of feeling vote: Awaclus

Ok. Makes sense to recruit once the JK is gone. So now this is basically a vanilla game. No claims, no powers, just two mafia and 6 town.
