Also the only way this gives me town points at all is if you believe Swowl is town - and then I have to ask: Why?

It gives you town points because you processed the concept that swowl breadcrumbed during the day, rather than during the night looking for a NK target.

I need to go back and look at all of those things, but I am more interested in finishing the day off.

I say MiX and Didds get an opportunity for any final input (because one of them won't last the night), and we get the exile done.

The only town angle I could see for his play was trying to draw the nightkill, but he denied he was doing that.
I said exactly “I thought  I could draw the night kill”.
You said that about today, not D2.

Ok read this all back to me - where do i deny something?

After you mentioned it for the first time I went back searching for the post, and yes I can see how you thought it was a crumb, but it wasn’t intended that way.
Here you deny that you intended the EFHW posts as a crumb, but leaving a fake crumb in order to be nightkilled would be the only possible town motivation for what you did.

While we're at it, you can try to answer this: You say you reread EFHW N1 and changed your mind on her. What made you change your mind?

Another thing to note- scum!faust may have picked up on the whole breadcrumb thing and targeted swowl to be the NK N2 rather than EFHW. Town points for faust

Iguana/swowl/math works, doesn't it?

Using the referenced D2 vote count, it is no bussing, 2 on gkrieg (avoiding a mathdude exile) and one on an alternative (joth)

What’s the logic for scum!faust outing us? Especially with so much heat on me EOD D2? He created two ICs and made the POE much stronger against everyone else.

He didn't create two ICs. Your role as mason did that.

He identified you correctly for town cred. Despite my objections, a mass claim was going to happen. As scum, whether it comes out early or late didn't matter. It comes out and you have to deal with it. faust found a way he thought could get him some town credit. Make lemonade out of lemons if you will.

Does he need the towncred? He knows I'm uncondionally townreading him from EoD1. There's no reason to buddy us.

No, that's a fair point. It is also PoE confirmation bias playing in, knowing everyone can't be town.

as I talked about here earlier, this is what I am looking at:

Conf!town
MiX/Didds- mason
e - 1 shot cop

Conf!scum
iguanaiguana

All Else- 2 scum in 5
Swowl
faust
mathdude
Jimmmmm
jotheonah

Someone has to be scum. You may not have to deal with it at all, but it will come up (D5 of you exile me today, D4 if we exile iguana).

Which two of swowl, faust, math, jimmmm, and joth are scum? My reads point me to faust + ???? (Lean math right now, but want to let that sit for a while)

"zero" discussion is an exaggeration. MiX acknowledged and dismissed it as excited town. I don't buy that though.

e, what were you trying to achieve by "stringing it along", but also immediately calling iguana scum and voting for him without providing much of a reason?

Also, when did you decide that iguana would be your target? Did you think much during the Night about what you might do with whatever result you got?

 I did not think much overnight about what I would do whatever the result. I had a short period of time between getting the result and the thread opening, and in that period is where I developed all my wonderful ideas. Immediately calling iguana scum was meant as a soft claim of sorts. The overconfidence was meant to spur reactions, then I would follow with my claim. Originally, the whole full cop/1-shot cop was meant to draw the NK N3 then end up not actually being as important since I was 1-shot. I decided that lying wasn't a good idea, so I would just claim "cop with a N2 result" and see who would press me for additional results, imagining that they might be scum. In my mind, I wasn't lying, I was withholding information. Which, yeah, not telling the full truth is a lie, especially because my intention was for people to imagine me as a full cop. I did want to claim before any sort of mass claim, the idea being that scum doesn't need any additional info, and town can use their PRs as they see fit, and I trust town to do what is right. At least what they think is right.

I put iguana down as an initial target at the start of the night with the thought to go back and rethink if I should target someone else. I didn't do that and just stayed on iguana.

Bold added above for emphasis...

On a different note, I don't think we need anyone to claim because we have caught scum for today

I am a cop
I investigated Iguana last night
iguana is an imposter.
So who did you investigate N1?

So e, what are your thoughts of faust, in light of this? I know many have been back and forth on him, based on his strong reactions here D3.

As soon as I got my result, I was convinced faust was town. When he was the one to ask about N1 results I was disappointed: I wanted that to come from someone, I don't know, like you.

As the day progressed, that read slowly changed, as you can see here:

I have no clue how to respond to faust at this point. He is so lost in his own little world

I mean, he is doing great eroding my read that since iguana is scum, faust must be town.

The read changed finally when faust claimed for MiX and Didds:
Also, even more suspicious of faust.

Claiming masons for MiX/Didds is MVP play right there... If scum win (and faust is scum)

Again, I have distracted from this but want to bring it up again. Why does town!faust claim for the masons? Simple answer, he doesn't. A good bit of discussion has gone into the timing of my claim and if I had the nefarious purpose of getting extra town cred from scum!e (not the case).

Zero discussion on faust claiming for other people. I think that above anything else is reason for faust to be on top of the list for possible D4 exiles

I said in a recent post what I believe scum!e's and town!e's opinion would be to continuing the massclaim, after he claimed his result on iguana.  I figured he would want it not to continue if town, to protect the rest of town roles.  But he didn't stop us from claiming.  That points me toward thinking he's scum.

I felt like I was pretty clear anti-mass claim. That was the whole reason I jumped in line, to prevent any other claims (except obviously iguana would claim something)

By the time the mass claim continued I had lost my ability to influence it one way or the other. But that was a significant period of time between my claim and it continuing along, I think I did post something about being fine with it continuing, but again, that was after a significant time attempting to stop the mass claim and really just resigning myself to it

E! I apologize cuz I am sure you have answered this, but what was the reasoning on checking II with your one shot?

Bottom line is that I thought they were scummy, but also that others were scummy based on interactions with iguana.

You look at when I voted WCD. It was due to EFHW interactions, but my next post mentions she is scummy for how she interacted with iguana, who I still viewed as potential scum

Then I had linked iguana and faust together as 1 scum 1 town (starting at both scum, moving to 1 and 1 which is where I was at overnight, then back to 2 scum now).

So I viewed iguana as an info flip with investigating.

And finally there was a bit of godfather avoidance going on. The last thing I wanted was a false negative, but with the game situation I knew I couldn't hold off on investigating any longer than I did. For whatever reason I felt iguana would not be the godfather. Glad I was right.

Okay, I talk about/to faust in #198, #201, #229, #232, #314, #315, #316, #540, & #776 all before #811 where I voted faust and 2.7 jumped on me for it.

Cool.  I am lazy so I will just use these and see what I missed.

#198 - I think I missed this one.
#201 - Pretty sure this was my #1 in the count
#229 - #2
#232#314, #315, and #316  - I think lumped these together, probably because I was just ctrl+F looking at your posts. So pretty sure this was my "#3" and yeah, there is more interaction than I gave you credit for. They are all linked to one post, so maybe I did see them and I just lumped it as "one interaction with faust"
#540 - fairly certain I did not include this one. It was a post about LaLight, Swowl, Jimmmmm, and myself. Mentions faust in talking about LaLight and Jimmmm, don't think I really counted it as the post is focused on not-faust.
#776 - I did count this one, my #4
#811 - the vote, my count was exclusive, didn't include the vote

So, yeah.  There is more interaction than I gave you credit for. But I wouldn't say it was such a huge exaggeration. I do typically over-exaggerate my cases as well, but sure.  Point iguana. Not that points really matter with a result, but still.

Blablabla.

To the town of you: stop interacting with scum. Obviously this makes e scum because he knows better.

Yes, I do know better, but iguana is such a good sport, I am having fun

How likely do you think it is that all scum were on the gkrieg wagon?

Interested in Joth/Swowl thoughts on this question

funny timing. I was just gonna ask E/Joth what they thought.
I am factoring in the EFHW exile rn. one sec.

okay so this is literally the first time that Swowl EVER mentions 2.7 and it's on D3. They are totally scum together and have been using a strategy of hard ignoring each other in the thread while letting townies and probably one active scum fight things out.

What more information are you asking for that I haven't provided?

A better reason?
Sarcasm - I am just frustrated with this situation. I genuinely believe that I have a solid concept in Math v Joth. I also very much believe that Math has been towny in their responses since I posted my skum read on them, and Joth has been skummy in their defense of my push.

I also get that I am clearly tunneling and I am seriously trying to not do it, but every freekin time I go back to re reading I just end up back at joth.

I have been unfair in my frustration regarding you and Joth being suspicious of my switch from Math to Joth. For Joth, it is hard, because obviously I am reading them as skum. For you, it is frustrating because I feel like I am wasting time trying to convince a TR of mine that I am town.

I feel like the GK alt wagon is a lazy af alternative that was brought up as an alt to Joth/Math, which just makes me feel more strongly about it being one of Joth/Math. Or we are just fucked and just everyone is town. Which is why, blaming myself too for not moving earlier on day 1, we need to freeking exile on day 1.

I will take the weekend to do an overhaul and see what I can see. But like I can chalk this up to one of the most frustrating games I have ever played (maybe second to BSG S1)

I've already pointed out Swowl's super scummy "This is the most frustrating game I've ever played" exaggeration. Now we can add the "Or we are just fucked and just everyone is town" as a scumslip for the fact that all of the active players he is reading are town and he's having trouble making fake scumreads on a bunch of townies due to his strategy of ignoring his scumpartner 2.7.

Just like you ignored faust! Remember! Like I pointed out in my original case on you!

Except you EXAGGERATED the extent to which I ignored faust! You BS posted that I had only four posts about faust when I am positive I talked to him more than just four posts! At the time it didn't bother me because I was being STUPID and I thought you were TOWNY. But now it's obvious you were scum and for some reason you felt I was an easy target!!

Challenge accepted.

Time for a mass dump of D1/D2 iguana to prove I am right. Of course you believe you interacted more, you had all of N0 and N1 to interact

This will take time (especially because I am going to do this on a computer not on my phone, and I have to finish cleaning the kitchen, etc.... You will get this tonight though in my next post)

With 12 alive, it took 7 to exile.

The more I look back the more I think math is in fact scum.

One reason why math didn't get exiled D1, I colored the wagon just for fun, even if you flip red/green with iguana and me that wagon on math looks pretty towny and then has that single bus.

Joth is being really self righteous : ( Also scum often claims town after an exile because it can throw off exactly these kinds of twilight discussions. So there is absolutely still a chance that gkrieg is scum.

Oh yeah, you would never set up another mis-exile....

Joth was making me feel like shit! I HATE misexiling and I do it ALL THE TIME. This is literally why I quit playing!! Because I am bad at finding scum! And joth was sitting there rubbing it in my face in the thread! Setting up his misexile? That is total BS

You haven't done it yet this game. You are 1/1 exiling people not in your faction

There are only 4 people who actually know the truth of what is going on here.

Myself, iguana, and 2 more scum. While I may have skewed view of "lurking" for D3, I feel like at least one of the two scum is not very active today hoping my exile just slides through.

Really liking all of the gkrieg posts, they feel very town.
-snip-

Okay, just found this. It is totally scummy that 2.7 goes from "gkrieg feels very town" to his weak noncommittal final comment on gkrieg that is setting him up to be able to vote gkrieg if necessary.

Yes, I would have hammered gkrieg for an exile. Did I want to? No.

Was gkrieg flailing around looking for random last minute exiles that did him no good? Yes.

Did I want him to stop that and vote Didds? Yes.

Grasping at straws here iguana.

It's also very clear that 2.7's top 'scumread' at the end of the day was WCD. So if he's town, why not cop your top scum read on WCD?

What makes more sense is that 2.7 didn't want to do a false guilty of WCD EITHER because he felt she would be an easy misexile for LyLo that he needed to keep around OR because the team had figured out that MiX/Didds were masons overnight and he knew that a false guilty on her would lead to a CC and his exile.

So whether 2.7 had figured out masons ahead of time or not, it makes more sense as scum that he would choose me as the cop target and not his actual stated top scum read.

He found out me and Didds were masons when faust claimed that for us.

Speaking of this, why does town claim masons for you?

Cause faust had solved the game and he was itching to tell us the solve.

Yeah, I will give you that.

I was going for he was scum who had figured out the game and was excited to get town cred.

We should finish the mass claim at this point for sure, but if all remaining claims are VT scum knew it was either TTT or TTTT.

That is why faust figured out it was masons. He had found a 1-shot doc with the NK.
He had found a 1-shot cop with my claim.
He was looking for one more letter, and figured it out.

The simplest explanation is that e is scum and iguana is town.

Faust’s idea that they’re both scum is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence.

There’s obviously no world where they’re both town.

And if e is town and iguana is scum, well it’s not the end of the world. We have a guaranteed scum exile tomorrow, and e was a 1-shot cop anyway.

This is a good summary, although i think all the factors pointed out by math right before this point much more to my being town. My argument is admittedly a terrible one - I played this so poorly I could not be scum - but it is true. No way my scum teammates wouldn't talk me off the ledge from my crazy schemes.

I just ask you to take the risk on town!e playing poorly and exile iguana based on my result

This argument almost works. Sucks that math's scum.

I don't follow. Math could totally be scum. Not sure what the correlation is here
