1. You agreed with some of my sentiments on Orange. 2. If he's townie, then it just means he didn't play it correctly and needs to learn from his mistakes. Basically, he should have been less emotional and more rational, and should have made that observation earlier than just omgus Prota. (Even if what he said after the fact was true, it doesn't look that way to me and others)
Some, yes. Your second point is true, while irrelevant.
I still think you are scum. Your tone has changed drastically, from being stubborn and not listening, to having a conversation with me and actually talking it out with me. Saying that you know your actions were scummy and that you wouldn't do them if you didn't claim cop, is very concerning. You got too comfortable as a fake town pr and you took advantage, and now I've seen through you. If you are town, don't play that way as it seems fake. Even if you disagree there is some degree of validity to what I'm saying against you. Others have agreed. There must be something. Finally, using that to be lazy and leave your vote on Orange isn't helping the town move forward, and makes me wonder if you care about town winning at all.
Yeah, that's what happened. Ya got me. What actually happened is that I resigned myself to what the day's course of events would be: I thought orange would be lynched, then I would be NK'd with no bodyguard left to save me. Because I assumed I would die, I focused on getting my opinions out in the open rather than generating new content. In retrospect I could have played much better, but what can ya do?
We both just did a 180 because of mod-confirmed info that one of the three of us is scum.
Fair enough, I suppose.
It was a reasonable, round estimate for the minimum number of posts for thread control (seeing as it is a bit less than twice what the most frequent poster had D1).
I'd disagree there. I'd say thread control is more measured in who spurred/is guiding the current conversation, but I see what you mean.
The reason for the sudden shift is already posted in #450. I agree that Phoenix's arguments aren't all well-grounded and if he didn't do so much to help town this phase I would say that he's trying to push a lot of slots out of desperation to look like he's scumhunting (if I recall correctly, his first vote on me and his first vote on BarMaven were about 3 minutes apart), but I see literally no incentives for being so active as scum and wanting to increase thread activity. You could argue that he wanted to do that to look townie, but I'm pretty sure that if activity didn't increase significantly, the thread would have just died and scum would have won anyways. The only possibility I could think of is if he were an indie slot and felt he needed complete thread control, but even if that is true, town will autolose if mafia isn't lynched this phase.
Ironically, this is part of my reasoning for believing you are scum.
You being genuine or not depends upon if you actually misinterpreted the role PM or if you used that as an excuse to justify a complete 180 on Polish.
Also, it could have been an attempt to gain a third ally. If Polish were a less experienced player, he could have interpreted the correct role read as a confirmed townie and the three of you could have steamrolled everyone in your way the rest of the game. 3 would be majority today (and close to majority yesterday), so worst-case scenario is that you would get lynched and bring Polish down with you, getting far too close to endgame with a scumslot still left. Keep in mind this is still completely hypothetical, but it's still a possibility that I'm considering right now.
An entirely inaccurate possibility, but a possibility nonetheless.
1. It's either wrong or right. Why would you be willing to let a slot die on reasoning you think may or may not be right?
Here's my reasoning: Orange flips scum,. We killed a scum, I'm NK'd, you're basically cleared, and town goes about its merry way scum hunting and winning. Orange flips town. We get a rather large amount of information, you, who I at the time believed was scum upon an orange town flip, are lynched, and town goes about its merry way. I am, of course, NK'd. It all comes back to the fact that your arguments were plausible, and I wanted to see if they were correct or not.
Again, if you knew it was a suspicious, why do it when you were claimed cop?
Again, with my cop claim, I resigned myself to the, admittedly incorrect, assumption about how the rest of the day would play out.
Plus, you claiming showed your true scumness. Sometimes people become more involved or feel invincible, so they do more things to help town because they know everyone else knows, they can trust that person. Yet you took advantage of it. You got lazy, and stayed mobile. You voted Orange with Ycare of the world of his flip. Again, it shows you don't care to help move town forward. You claiming helped you get pressure off, and then you did the opposite of what a town wincon would ask of you: You got lazy. No scumhunting, and wanting to survive = scum.
First, I did scum hunt after my claim. Do you not remember the large dialog that took place between myself and others? Do you not understand why I voted orange in the face of an imminent NL? Secondly, I don't know why you think that me having a busy schedule is a scum tell. You assume malicious intent, as if I'm cackling evilly as I type "sorry, on mobile" from my multi trillion dollar supercomputer. Imo, anything inside the game is fair game to lie about. Once you start incorporating deceit regarding real life into your crucial play, you're being a ****.
2. Well then there is probably a reason they are read as town isn't there? Even you read him as town. Yet you are letting Barman off the hook. What's your read on him? What did you think of his recent reads? What do you think of being on two wagons and being wrong twice?
I think the initial push on Barman was rather nonsensical. However, I don't like the way he's responded to pressure, and his being on two incorrect wagons isn't a good thing, but it doesn't make him scum. I'd put him at soft scum lean, but that will change significantly depending on how this phase plays out.
3. I didn't mean the beginning of D2. Your push on Mist wasn't really a push. Plus your argument against him was faulty.
My argument was wrong, yes. Multiple peoples' arguments have been wrong this game. Some of your pushes have been mod confirmed wrong. The entire mist wagon was mod confirmed wrong. That's how mafia works. Can you define push? Because to me, push means the application of pressure, either with the goal of getting a lynch or evoking a reaction, to a given slot. I'm pretty sure that was a push, dude.
I'm a bit curious as to who people think the scum in the other pool is. You stated your opinions on that in the wagon post, and I agree that if Twitchy flips non-cop (if he's lynched), I'd say Polish is confirmed scum, but I think he's town otherwise. I agree that Aqua is likely the indie based on his play so far (if there is an indie), leaving Barman as scum, but if there isn't an indie, the second scum could be either of Barman/Aqua. I'm curious what happened to Twitch responding and am eager to hear his insight on the current situation.
Could you explain your reasoning behind this? I think I understand it, but I'd like to hear it from you.

you said you'd respond to the thread within a few hours. Could you please give us an update as to how that response post is progressing? I have a fairly good feel for where Corps is at, but you still seem to be a bit behind. Also, considering that there has to be one scum out of the remaining 3 not in this phase, who do you think is the most likely to be scum if I flip scum, and who do you think is the most likely to be scum if Corps flips scum?
If you flip scum, (meaning Corps is town, more importantly) I'd be inclined to look at Maven. If Corps flips scum, I'd look at Aqua. I'm posting this now so that y'all know I'm here, but I'll respond to Corps' questions about the mist wagon now.
