There is no way I would have played the way I did if I were SK. I would have stayed in the background, jumped quietly onto a wagon like 2.7's or Andrew's and brought zero to little attention to myself.

Imagine if I had stayed on mcmc and the lynch had gone through. I would be the primary, number 1, NK target for mafia and there would have ended my game. No that would have been too risky.

The SK is someone who stayed in the background and made little to zero waves. Certainly not me.

This doesn't acquit you as much as you think. If you were SK, and you had stayed on mcmc, and the lynch had gone through, you would have been a prime NK target... only if mcmc was mafia. But of course, that's not something you knew at the time you voted him, so you could have very well done it as SK and then been genuinely surprised (and relieved you weren't nightkilled) after mcmc's flip.

Actually... was that a scumslip from TWM? The logic of what he posted only holds if he new mcmc's scum alignment ahead of time.

No. I get that. What I am saying is that it a risk I don't have to take. Or even if mcmc flips town. I don't want to appear in any way, shape or form to be a town leader and a good NK option.

You are putting logic onto me that I never had. Not sure if you are doing confirmation bias here or scum reaching.

You said this "imagine if I was SK and I had stayed on mcmc and the lynch had gone thru... I would have been the number 1 target for mafia." Because this would be a bad move for the SK, you therefore are not the SK.

This is really only a fear, though, if you know mcmc will flip scum, which isn't something you would have known at the time, unless you were his partner.

Except I am saying it now, when it is known that mcmc is scum. I am using speculative ideas to speculate about what I might have done as SK.

And you aren't addressing my actual point. And that is that SK would want to stay in the background and not risk being a prime NK target, regardless of whether or not mafia was flipped.

Like every scum, the SK has to play to their town meta or they will be lynched. The cannot just stay in the background.

No, I don't think that's true. The logic here only holds for mcmc being mafia, as you noted, in your initial post, which made this presumption, and is I think quite possibly a scumslip.

So am I SK or mafia? I can't be both. Someone tell me my alignment please, cause I obviously don't know what it is. I thought I was town. But really smart, good mafia players are telling me otherwise and everyone seems to be agreeing with them even though they can't decide what they agree about.

Nope. Not seeing a scumslip anywhere. I think Robz is thinking about this too hard and is confusing himself.

Seriously?

Which is it:

Mafia that purposely bussed his partner hard on Day 1 (sure I left the wagon, but still that is a ballsy, risky move) and vice versa from him? This must be the case if Robz's scumslip theory is true.

Or SK that decided it was a good idea to play a really pro-active and pushing, aggressive style that would make me a high candidate for the mafia kill when it would have been easier and better play to stay back and low key? And then decided to kill off the same player that could still have been a good mislynch target the next day (from SK's perspective everyone is a mislynch target)?

OOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR

Town who played a pretty decent, but ultimately suboptimal Day 1 and an even worse Day 2, who is being framed by what is probably desperate mafia and/or SK who wants to take advantage of the situation along with other eager townies who are seeing only what they want to see?

Also Andrew is town. SK or mafia would be clamoring all over this opportunity to get a mislynch here. Scum has zero reason to defend me here. Remember that when I am dead.

He could be the traitor thinking that I am the other mafia and wanting to save me from being lynched. But I guess that is probably a long shot.

I think TWM's point is if he was SK he would not draw attention to himself as much as he did yesterday with all the mcmc wagon stuff so as not to be a target for mafia. He used scum!Mcmc as an example but I think he meant regardless of the person's alignment he would want to lay low.

TWM your point about saving mcmc as he could be a potential mislynch later, that's not really a point in your favor specifically. I think everyone would've had the same train of thought and would not've shot mcmc. Thus I think there was some other PR at work and maybe trying to tie a direct link from the mcmc kill to someone else is a little shoddy. And those who have been trying to do just that are a little scummy. Now would be a good time to look at the setup.

I am not using it in my favor. I am using it as an argument for why faust wants to lynch me. He thinks that I shot mcmc because he was suspicious of me. His being a good mislynch I think would have over-rid that if I were actually the SK in this hypothetical scenario.
