Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Yes?

Nolynching on MYLO by itself is pro-town, but obviously lynching scum is more pro-town than nolynching.

So assuming Gourd is scum, then nolynching is more pro-scum than lynching Gourd.

Assuming Gourd is town, then nolynching is very obviously more pro-town than losing the game.

I'm saying that nolynching is the better idea without any assumptions/knowledge of Gourd's alignment.

The thing is no one is figting off Gourd lynch. If he's scum, his partner is probably bussing. Cuz everyone is surprisingly ok with that lynch. So, we should focus on finding this partner and see if Gourd will try to redirect our attention from him.
Or a possibility that Gourd isn't a wolf.
LockeZ is in my opinion only possible partner for Gourd for the way he's pushing him, but I like LockeZ' late comments otherwise.
I'm so lost in this game.
Ooh, yikes, sorry. I got super busy because spring break ended, like, two days ago. I didn't really have anything new jumping out at me so I didn't even put out the little thoughts I had.

uhhh, yeah! so the game isn't going to end if I'm lynched right? It should be fine then. I'll just let it happen and get back to you guys on the scumhunting tomorrow.
This also probably better bc I'd rather not be an option for scum to go "hmmmm, but is gurd really innocent??". they only need to convince a few people they're right and I can admit that I did not make it obvious that I'm town.

The game only doesn't end when you're lynched if you're scum.

Did you miss the million posts where we said it was MYLO?
oh, well, rip it's ending then XD

...

And I thought I was putting little effort into this game.
jeroen pls you're dead XD Like, I dunno! I have no definitive evidence of who scum is and there are like 3 hours left.

I'm pretty much only looking at RMN as a break from massive amounts of studying/ between classes so forgive me if I am not putting in as much energy as you'd like me to jeroen. HARUMPH

I will give you my two cents, however, since you have such high expectations~

Still think it's psy and lockeZ but I don't think anyone wants to hear that so?? WELP My feeling for psy has been intensified by him continuing to theorize about scum's motives:

author=psy_wombats
They would've been nk'ing after the nokill, it would've been guaranteed not to end the game -- so my guess is scum just opted to keep around an extra suspect.


The people who jumped on the scum joke were opportunistic (locke and psy) bc no self-respecting scum is going to say that at that point (I mean maybe it's not a great thing to say as supected town either but really REALLY dumb to say as scum).

LockeZ also has a lot of town reads which I don't think is common for him as town. He's laid low relatively well this entire game too.

I've also felt off about Psy, but not so much about LockeZ.

Though I think that misrep of my nolynch argument was weird. I feel like it was pretty obvious how I intended that argument.

I personally think you're town, but I have no vote, so I'm not the one you need to convince. I guess since nobody seems to be here maybe you're right and the day is basically over.
I was contemplating ob a psy/gourd scum team but Gourd is really throwing psy under the bus, though this could be to save his own skin since he's the closest to being lynched - however, I don't think this is the answer.

Between those two I'm not really sure, Cap seems a little more town to me today. Gourd could be trying to push suspicion on psy considering psy could be town and gourd is wolf, but that might seem a little too obvious - though I think I'm the first one to point it out.

Gourd is also targeting LockeZ who I think is town, though that might not mean anything because nobody else is really suspicious of LockeZ so there's not much point in that.

Out of a psy and gourd vote though, I'd like to lynch Gourd off for reasons stated before in the game, and if Gourd turns out to be town and the game isn't over then I'd definitely look towards psy (or maybe Cap). I'm not sure if a Cap/psy scum team is likely (assuming that Gourd might be town).

I'm going to be surprised if LockeZ is scum.

As for Cave, he could be a suspect but I don't suspect him near as much as Gourd or psy, though sometimes you never know with Cave.

That's my input for today, and the day might be pretty much over with a no lynch so I wonder how that's going to play out... so the reason we were thinking of doing this is to wait out scum, is that a foolproof plan though? I don't know, I just thought no lynches were almost always bad.

No, 4 people are voting Gourd, so he'll be lynched at this rate.

If Gourd turns out to be town then the game ends. It's MYLO (Mislynch and Lose) and we have no doctor.

Nolynches are almost always bad, indeed. MYLO is the exception. At MYLO, a mislynch ends the game, but a nolynch doesn't. A nolynch at MYLO forces the game into LYLO (Lynch or Lose) (If scum doesn't nokill as well, which I think should be an anti-staling rule) Then there is one suspect less the next day. That already makes it easier to lynch correctly by sheer numbers alone. But in this game, where it seems anyone could reasonably be scum, it could also invalidate some possible scumteams which also makes it easier to lynch correctly.
Oh, I misread the lynches. I thought only two had lynched.

(4)Gourd_Clae: LockeZ, CAVE_DOG_IS_BACK, psy_wombats, Muffle

Day 3 has ended.


The old man comes up to Gourd_Clae. "Y-yes, sir?" Gourd_Clae asks.

"It seems some folks have been telling stories about you. The Big Man, though, he doesn't believe them. He thinks you're an

HONEST SOUL

but you know, things aren't looking too good. No sir."

Night 3 ends in

The old man comes out from the back once again. "Confound it! The paperwork's all muddled up! You know something, LockeZ, somebody started spreading rumors about you! Well, we know you're an

HONEST SOUL

so we're just going to have to wash our hands of this whole mess. Everyone's going up, hooligans and all." He shakes his head in disgust. "This hasn't happened since the devil went down to Georgia."

HOOLIGANS WIN

Hooligans were CAVE_DOG_IS_BACK and Muffle!

I want to apologize for being scum and tricking you all.

Muffle, never change!
dammit, continuing a fine tradition of always thinking Gourd is scum when Gourd is never scum. I should've known it was cave when there was no nightkill, I thought there was an outside chance Cap would think to withhold it after last game.

Never would've gotten Muffle though.

muffle said 'i think cave is town but you never know' about ten times and i ignored it each time


i didn't vote cap and then didn't kill because i wanted town to have a chance with the modkills that i foresaw...and 2 scum four town would have been the numbers anyway if town had mislynched
Play of the game: Gourd claiming scum. How were we to lynch anyone else after that.

Cave I was suspicious of from the start but I failed to get him lynched. Muffle played well as I actually didn't suspect her, but now I have an idea on how to read muffle when she flips scum.

Overall I still think it was worth dying day 1 in order to try to get cave lynched. The real problem was two missing participants day 2, and then the gourd scum claim on day 3.
