Home from work now. ‘Bout to start.

You ever have Old Forrester's Bourbon? It's my absolute favorite.

I haven’t... right now I have Willett Reserve, Woodford Reserve & Angel’s Envy... I’ll look into Old Forrester’s... but also, should probably have this in a separate thread lol.

Jimmmm is fine, Dylan is also fine.

We do NOT need DatSwan's partner to claim, IMO.

Why did Galz fall off your “fine list”?

No lynch would be horrible and I have to leave now until deadline. My problem with the case on jimm is he’s playing like jimm plays. Ugh there is no non jimm or galz thing that’s happening. Im going to vote: galz so him and jimm are at l-2 and I trust people to get one through.

Proposition for you: vote for Jimmmmm instead. Why get two people to L-2 when you could get one person to L-1? Especially after I put all that work into that lovely case for you.

Alright, well I also have to go to bed.

There's five more hours til deadline.

If we end up no lynching, FoS the people who aren't on either wagon. That's ashersky and lalight. Time for you two to make a decision, and preferably the same one.

It's all about this:

Looking at what seem to have been the major lynch candidates, I think mcmc and Dylan are scummyish and DatSwan is Towny.

Scummy for a few reasons. One, it was early in the day to be talking about lynch candidates, which was basically silver's case:

I guess you thought I meant "the only lynch candidates"? I don't think it's ever too early to be talking about lynch candidates - everyone who isn't an IC or made some claim is a lynch candidate and whenever you vote or make a case you're promoting the lynching of that candidate.

I'm gonna run a load of laundry so I can travel in the morning, so I can move to Galz if needed to avoid no lynch if only one of the people off wagon come around while I'm up, but I would rather stay on Jimmmmm from a reads perspective. They aren't super far apart on my list, but Jimmm is a few shades scummier.

ppe 1 Oh hi Jimmmmm

But the real case is just ... reread him. There's almost no useful contributions, but a lot of votes and just enough fluff and theory talk to not be a lurker. I feel like it's a textbook execution of a particular way of playing scum.

This is not a case. I can just easily say it's a textbook execution of a particular way of playing Town.

If you want to lynch me I probably won't fight too hard against it. I'm a fine Day 1 lynch - not a great "catch scum" lynch but a fine "progress the game" lynch. Much better than lynching Swan or forcing the partner to claim.

I don't have any super strong reads or cases, but what I look for in Day 1 are people who either seem more sure about someone than they should be, or decribe what people do as "weird" etc so they can appear to be scumhunting without actually having to fight argue strongly against someone. So, some thoughts on Dylan:

We really have to give Faust a day 1 pass, at any rate. Let’s not do scum’s job for them. If he’s alive tomorrow—something that quite literally almost never happens—I’ll reconsider.

This feels lining-up-future-mislynches scummy.

As someone mentioned, scum never does this, and I would say this type of argument comes more often from scum than from Town.

Yeah silver's last few posts sounded weird when I first read them, but I guess you can (and frequently do) have reasons for votes in RVS, so an RVS vote with an explanation isn't an oxymoron like I was thinking at first I guess.

Describes silver as weird,  but doesn't really conclude anything.

Vote: DatSwan for a reason that I'm not gonna share right now.

This and what follow feel like trying to make arguments he would make as Town.

Mcmc definitely comes across as the scummiest player to me - his opening post and vote on Swan feel VERY much like he's jumping in by leaning into his "I always fight with Swan" meta (which is DEFINITELY a thing that happens between them). But it's just so bloody obvious that... I can't decide if I feel like Mcmc is faking it, or if he's actually scummy because of it. Because I honestly believe that town!Mcmc would fake it for his own personal reasons, I'm hesitant to consider a lynch here.

Speaking of mcmc, I've found Datswan to be rather scummy as well. He too played in to the "I always fight with Mcmc" meta - but in a way that does NOT read like he's faking it for potentially pro-town reasons. Rather, his play feels much more like he's trying to force a match with his town meta, whereas Mcmc feels like he's almost intentionally being scummy. I would support this lynch.

For now, I think I'm going to join Dylan on vote: Datswan. I think that was, and is, the best wagon we've had today.

I’m confused. Can you elaborate on the underlined portion? I can go on record saying I absolutely do not fake things as town for the purpose of lookin more towny or for the purpose of helping a town or scum meta. It’s strange how you start saying I come across as the scummiest and then say you are hesitant to consider a lynch on me. Then you explain that you also find datswan scummy and even vote datswan. How then do you feel like I was scummy for going at datswan and finding him scummy?

I'll do my best.

When I read the thread, start to finish, and try to remove any pre-conceived bias or reads that I may have already have formed (which, I'll admit, I'm not completely capable of doing), you come across as extremely scummy. So does Datswan. Both of your opening set of posts where you vote for one another feel extremely disengenuous and as you both have a strong established meta of clashing with each other, it feels very forced.

So what's different about my reads on you two? The best I can describe it is that your posts for Swan feel like you're TRYING to be scummy - it feels over the top and obvious. From a town perspective, there are plenty of reasons to want to be slightly scum read. You could be a PR trying to avoid a NK. You could be a VT trying to pull a NK based on the previous sentance. I've seen both from multiple players, in multiple scenario's. I've done the second recently (M117 I think? I was VT and played D1 overly scummy with a very soft Cop claim that scum picked up on N1).

Swan on the other hand, reads more serious. Maybe it's that he came second and you first, but he reads to me like he's playing into the "mcmc and I always fight" meta because he's trying to appear like his town-self. It just doesn't give me the same vibes that there could be an alterior town motivation for playing it out that way.

Both of you open by playing into this same, pre-established meta. I could be over-reading on you, and maybe you're just scum trying to blend in to your town meta, as I'm suspicious of Swan for doing. But for neither of you does this come across as genuine. I just find it easier to believe there's a town motivation for you than I do for Swan.

In the end, for both of you to be town and to have opened the way you both did feels really, really strange to me. I just don't feel it. And I have an easier time seeing you posting in the fashion you did as town than I do seeing Swan posting in the fashion that he did as town - so while I'm hesitant to want to vote you, I have no problem voting Swan.

Last Galz post reads like a super well hidden agenda to get two players he knows are town lynched.

We really have to give Faust a day 1 pass, at any rate. Let’s not do scum’s job for them. If he’s alive tomorrow—something that quite literally almost never happens—I’ll reconsider.

This feels lining-up-future-mislynches scummy.

I'm glad someone wrote up the actual case on Jimmm, because it feels like more of a case for him being Jimmm than being scum.  Not saying he should get a free pass on lurking but what exactly is the deal there? I feel like Jimmmm is maybe slightly less likely to flip scum than random here.

Galz isn't my preferred lynch either, but I'd give him slightly more likely than average to flip scum, based on the big reads post.  Inclined to leave my vote there when I go to bed.

I'm here!

I guess you guys sorted out the claiming situation. I agree with the way it's being played for now I think. Since I have some hours left and we now have a probably town wagon to analyze, I'll put in some work before any sort of final decision is made.

LaLight's point is super dependent on context and timing, and the night of a late-night lynch I don't think it makes any kind of sense as a case but whatever.
