Meep. The Joseph wagon is understandable, with all the inconsistency. But I really doubt they are the kind of player to claim VT in that spot as scum.

Non-Joseph votes really need to consolidate. Is noone liking chairs? The way he hopped onto the Didds wagon just to immediately abandon it is was pretty suspicious.

chairs is hard to get excited about, as far as I can tell it's basically a lurker exile
I'm going with

vote: ADK.

This comment seems like it could be strategic modesty and setting town up, similar to when people set up artificial 1:1s.

Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group

PPE: MiX

I'll admit it wasn't the most stellar argument, which is why I haven't really followed up with it. Certainly none of the three players in question have jumped out at me as scummy

Do you townread Glooble Dylan and Joseph then? Otherwise, if what ADK said might be true, then we should follow up on that first, right?

I think they are probably town, yes.

I unvoted you, remember? And I had reasons for my vote, one of which turned out to be a misunderstanding.  Do we have your full attention?
I'm sorry, this was really not nice of me.

Thank you

Yes. With EFHW I can see why she voted and unvoted when she did, and that largely seems to make sense.

Non-Joseph votes really need to consolidate. Is noone liking chairs? The way he hopped onto the Didds wagon just to immediately abandon it is was pretty suspicious.

chairs is hard to get excited about, as far as I can tell it's basically a lurker exile
I'm going with

vote: ADK.

This comment seems like it could be strategic modesty and setting town up, similar to when people set up artificial 1:1s.

Three people in a row saying I'm townie is noteworthy. I'm going to guess that there's exactly one scum on that group

I'll admit it wasn't the most stellar argument, which is why I haven't really followed up with it. Certainly none of the three players in question have jumped out at me as scummy
We often seem to chairs exile based mainly on inactivity. There must be a better option based on scumminess not just lurkiness

I don't know why you two insist that chairs would be a lurker exile when my reasoning, which both of you quoted, clearly has nothing to do with his level of activity, but I don't like it.

Joseph is such a better exile.

But w/e. Once I flip town maybe you'll see ADK's smear job for what it is and vote them off next.

I might claim if I get another vote or two on me.

I could certainly see them both being scum, but I don't have any particular evidence of them being partners. I might be tunneling a little because ADK's attacks on me feel personal, I'm open to that possibility. But in general pretty much everything they've said this game has come off as manipulative and scummy to me. Joseph, OTOH, has Dylan's excellent case and an actual chance of happening.

Maybe that was the wrong term. It feels very obvious to me that ADK's case on me is built out of nothing, and I'm baffled by everyone's willingness to go along with it. I see a musch stronger scum narrative for them than a town one, and I'm hoping that if I do get exiled and flip town, that narrative will be as obvious to all of you as it is to me, right now, having knowledge of my own alignment.

Could someone please state a case on me using actual facts? I don't know what such a case would look like, but I'm guessing its not remotely close to as good as the case on Joseph.

That's a fair request, I won't much time until this evening but I will try to do something on my lunch break

So what changed from here?
I don't think Joseph is scum. If I had to call it, I'd say the scumteam's EFHW/Glooble/Galzria, and these are whom I would like to exile today.

The first time I was an IC, on Jimmmm's site, I played it more or less how Robz is playing it. A more experienced player, I wish I could remember who, it may even have been ADK, might also have been shraeye or Galz, advised me to not vote until the very end of wagons as IC, because my vote on a bad wagon gave scum too much cover if they got on after me. In subsequent games where I've gotten the IC role, I've tended to avoid starting a wagon unless I was fairly certain about it.

The fact that my wagon started with a vote from Robz but has been pushed by ADK is telling. It gives ADK cover for when I flip town. "Oh, well I didn't start it, it was the IC, I just followed along." Again, look at the votes. ADK votes for MiX, gives their reasons. I say "those reasons make sense." Robz tells people not to fall into the trap of voting for MiX, then votes for me. Even if Robz didn't outright say "voting for MiX is scummy" the fact that he immediately voted for me implied it. Then ADK jumps on me. Even though I was literally sheeping their case. I just don't see a town narrative for that behavior at all. But it makes perfect sense to me as a deflection tactic from a scum player when the IC calls their case scummy.

It makes perfect sense for town to do that. Sheeping a case isn't townie, and your jump on me was terrible.

Grunch grunch!

I also think Glooble is town (but ADK is townier).

I really think Joseph is a good bet, and I wouldn't oppose a lurker exile (say chairs). Mix lately has been behaving like I'd expect from his townself, but come to think of it not sure I've ever seen him as scum, as much as I've always thought he was.

Main point, not sure why the Joseph wagon fizzled, I didn't find his defense compelling at all. I didn't see Didds's original posts as scummy as others, but the defense didn't ring very genuine to me, I'll be keeping my eye out on them.

All in all, deadline close, the case on Joseph was a GREAT d1 case, I really think we should go for that.

Also funny sidenote, if Robz wasn't the IC, I'd totally be calling for his lurker lynch now, haha. (... I know his play makes sense for IC, just think it's funny that it makes sense for IC and scum to play sort of the same way.)
