Earlier you didn't seem to think there was anything to gleam from it. Your analysis is shaky anyway


yes...because i reread the thread and don't pick up on anything immediately (see, last game, where I only suspected ozzy day 2.

plus idk that it matters that I didn't express that it was a bogus question at the time? Like, did I need to give a two week notice before I agreed with you? it wasn't relevant to me until now and I didn't like how you were weaponizing something that you called bogus before


for someone who hasn't had the energy to do much in this game, you sure are able to summon up a lot of snark. what are you even talking about here. none of this has anything to do with what i said.
you: why would i feel obligated to answer that question
me: if scum you would feel obligated to give an earnest answer, as you did, because it is a question directly pointed towards you, in a game thread that you are playing in
you: time flows backwards

your response is what i am calling into question, as i have said, not lockez's initial question. i am convinced that you are just going trying to misconstrue anything anyone says about you because the stakes are higher for you.


um it's still scumhunting if it's about you cave (and you know other people. psy is another person). are you saying you don't believe I came to this conclusion day 1? If I can't show you a post of me explicitly stating this, I can definitely show you posts where I implied I thought this way. I picked up *multiple* things said by psy. In the same vein of thought, yeah, but I'm pretty sure I can find more? I feel like psy has theorized ALOT about scum team's motives this game and, in addition to the blatantly weird stuff I pointed it out, I don't think it's all that innocuous.


every single posts have been about me *despite you allegedly having a nulltell on me* followed up by *cave wasn't lynched day 1 so he's scum.* that part really needs to be emphasized. in fact i'll put some bold text right here. that part needs to be emphasized. that is textbook fake-content + false narrative.

and that's not what i was saying, but sure, post your giant psy case.


Day 1 I was trying to say I see the argument for demon's actions being scummy. Doesn't mean I had a scum read on him. I just understood the argument.

But, assuming I DID have a scum read on demon, it was day 1 and if I was going to lynch my nulltell instead of my scum read that would be the day. I also think it was justified because it would give more information.


if you didn't have a scumread on demon despite finding what he was saying as scummy (??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????) then he would also be a nulltell on you. like, you were very focused on lynching the person who you had no read on. ok, ignoring the fact that that makes no sense, i ask again, what information would you have gotten from me flipping town. because this was apparently a big enough info depot for you to advocate using a day on. there's zero reason you can't talk about this in addition to advocating for my murder now. the fact that i haven't flipped is not an excuse.

1. I never had a consistent read on demon, which is reflected in various people thinking I felt a different way about him


so? this isn't really a good or a bad thing.

2. i uh, didn't exactly go "argh! shouldn't have lynched him!" what's really insidious about this narrative is that it existed before I even started talking today. yea. go and look back. I was literally responding to this narrative when I expressed that we shouldn't have lynched demon but didn't express that I thought this made me more town. I was just lamenting we didn't kill cave bc he must DIE.


Okay, but also, we shouldn't have lynched demon. I'm gonna ahve to look back and see exactly how that happened over lynching cave anyway. there's plenty we can learn from it because there's no way scum was not trying to kill demon. Scum was definitely voting to lynch him by the end of the day.


I don't know what narrative you are talking about, but narrative that you said these exact words, that I just quoted, started when you said these words, which I have quoted, and it is relevant because it is something scum tend to do, as you can see from last game.

3. I dont have a 3, cave's ozzy argument was around before I even started talking today, honestly think that invalidates it.


what. lol. you seem to have a very fluid view of how time works.

4. actually wait yeah I have another point!! ozzy's behavior also had little to no explanation as to what changed between posts but mine always have reasons. many, many reasons


so are you saying you actually did scumread demonlord after all now


i'm done engaging with gourd for the rest of today. he's all over the place, more than anyone i've ever seen, and i don't think he's arguing in good faith. i'm sure the case on psy is coming.

if anyone else has something better that i should be looking at, please point me in the right direction.

i have a prediction for second member of the scumteam but I am still waiting on cap's explanation of why he reads hunibear/aneko in the way he does.
Yeah I dunno cave I didn't feel like I was engaging with your arguments very well either. that's my bad >.<

Let me think on it for a bit. I was making it out like I had more of a case than I did. I think

I'm gonna show everyone what I meant when I said your ozzy argument about me was around before I even started talking. it has to do with psy actually.

the frequency that my thoughts go back to psy when I'm talking about you is a really big reason why I'm reconsidering fyi
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

hi hello What do you think of my argument? You may as well make yourself useful punk

Every post you and Cave make has eight quotes in it and three responses to each of them. You are going to have to be more specific. You've said a lot of shit, and I honestly don't understand the context behind a lot of your posts. Can you please summarize the argument in question in one or two paragraphs?

author=psy_wombats
author=Gourd_Clae
It was random. That would be a much more reasonable theory than a weird sense justice on scum's part
Short any power roles or the ability to shut people up, I could see someone more whimsical trying it. Didn't cave say he usually targeted lurkers?
You guys are really fixated on guessing the reasoning behind the first nightkill. I'm not sure what you hope to learn by going back and forth with theories. Since nightkills can't be used to shut people up or to remove power roles, most of the normal reasons for killing people don't make sense anyway, except "kill the confirmed town." Nobody was confirmed town so...

Like, sorry if your goal was to get the scum to defensively mansplain themselves, and I just ruined it, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen. Alternately if this argument is being carried on by scum who aren't sure how to decide who to nightkill, and are trying to fish for ideas, then... I'm not sorry.

My current running theory is that Cave vs. Gourd is a giant red herring because if either of them were scum they would have fucking shut up already.

Probably it's Cap_H and either Hunibear or Aneko.
Cap_H/Hunibear sounds feasible as it'd explain why Cap thought Cave's claim held any water.

@Gourd: opinions on cap?

Can you please summarize the argument in question in one or two paragraphs?

Sure, I'll give you my case on cave and my case on psy. I'll leave out things I don't think are relevant anymore.

It looks big but it's just spaced out:

Cave:

Day 1 Cave suggested that he should be lynched day 1. Some people argued that cave (or his scum buddy) would divert votes away from him at the end of the day in order to make cave seem innocent.

Day 2 Cave is still alive and there are people arguing that he seems to be innocent. It really irks me that the possible scumplay people predicted may have come to pass.

Based on the process of elimination, I felt that cave and psy were the most likely to be scum if we do not consider the lurkers. I discounted the lurkers because I felt night phase would have taken longer.

Psy:

Psy made this post:
author=psy_wombats
Possibly for your insistence that cave would have to die sooner or later. Possibly because some town from last game has a sense of justice.


In my mind, this post looks like scum lampshading the reasons for their nightkill. It also seems like an unnatural conclusion to draw.

Then, he goes on to say:
author=psy_wombats
Gourd is I think the most likely one to kill Jeroen for poetic justice though, for what it's worth, followed by Cave then distantly LockeZ but I don't think so. Starting to actually think that's the real reason.

I don't actually know what poetic justice psy is talking about. It seems like this phrase means a lot more to him than anyone he's talking about.

This is newer but
author=psy_wombats
Also, I do realize there's a nonzero chance I'm being led on by scum-Cave or something but that can be dealt with tomorrow if necessary -- your flipping scum would rule it out, for instance.

I don't like that he's advocating for wasting a day on me instead of just thinking about it now. I kinda see where he's coming from though.

If my theory that cave and psy are scum team is correct then psy also connected himself to cave a lot, especially today. Some notable examples are that psy never voted for cave day 1, diverted votes from cave day 1 and is voting with cave on day 2.

...


Part of me thinks that's too obvious, but, I don't think psy was trying to sound weird earlier which what initially irked me.

author=psy_wombats
Cap_H/Hunibear sounds feasible as it'd explain why Cap thought Cave's claim held any water.

@Gourd: opinions on cap?

You make a good point about him in relation to huni. He also had huni as a town read and said she had good interactions despote her not saying much. He was also very worried when it seemed like huni was confirmed to be scum.

He has a lot of town reads which might be his way of currying favor with town so we don't try to lynch him. He also said demon seemed town while he voted him and only a little before that he said he didn't want to kill demon.

There is a bit of a discrepancy in how he treats aneko and huni too, although they've played in a nearly identical way.

umm, I was going to say cap did seems legit confused at many points so he seemed to be town, but I think I just convinced myself he's being scummy. I think there's a good case for him
Haahaha I missed that but yup https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/23773/?post=850935#post850935 apparently Huni is town but Aneko is a pick for scumteam.

Good morning,
It's interesting to see that everyone waited for Huni to answer to that obviously fake claim. If it was so obviously fake, there was no wrong reaction.
There are conclusions to make from the claim itself, tho. And I suspected Cave more than Huni, that's the reason why I was talking about it and questioning it openly. But reactions of other players to my post made me feel better about Cave. Plus his own activity later on was very strong.
Tbh, I'm derping hard in this game and I'm not so proud about it.

aneko has also never played before, by the way.
Yeah, but she looks like she's afraid to post.
I would say wolves are in: Demonlord, Aneko, LockeZ and maybe Cave, Jero.
i would like an explanation for this though. demonlord has been pushing aneko all game but saying huni is town.

i have my own theory on one of these two players, but would like to hear his explanation.


Hm, I think Huni tried to participate more actively and doesn't care so much about looking like a townie. She haven't posted yet today and it's far too late for it to be just a case of avoiding an early entrance. Aneko's posts are not natural on the other hand and she only posted once today. That post didn't bring any new opinion.
Huni had worse switch on Demon, I guess. But there were at least two other votes with same reasoning. Her vote was quite late so I can imagine her making sure, that you're not getting lynched, but if you're town, there was no reason for her to switch and that makes the vote look better again.

So you agree with me and vote me for that.
No, I don't agree, I've pretty much been thinking of them as one unit with the only difference being Aneko first voting cave and Huni first voting Gourd. Hunibear seemed scummier. I'm questioning that you find the differences between the two enough to say that one is town and the other is scum over other scum options (like, for instance, Gourd).
I think cap said he read me as town before because I was acting scummy. although I don't think he explained what was scummy about my behavior. (you know, ignoring that this isn't an argument for one's innocence)

He has a menu of things now if he needs some reasons though. It probably wouldn't be difficult for him to push suspicion onto me and I was little suprised he didn't open by doing just that

Tbh, I don't like Cave's posts. I fell asleep yeasterday while reading walls of text he produced. But there are pieces in them, which make him look towny in my eyes. Plus the quantity. And there is one piece I dislike, but it could be a bad assumption on his side (he made many of these)

author=Gourd_Clae
author=psy_wombats
About the final vote totals: I kind of think at least one scum would intentionally not vote demonlord, and according to piano's tally (which does include votes after the day end) that would only leave Gourd. Alternatively, cave is scumteam along with a late-demonvoting, newbie player or an early-demonvoting, cocky player, in an attempt to derail the cave wagon.
It's day 1 there's not really any reason for scum to do this./ To avoid connections I guess, but we're at the point on RMN where people look at it this way so it wouldn't matter if they all voted or not



or this

Aneko (r they playing but better than huni, I feel like night would've taken longer if they were scum)


That's some high level crap.
I know the next post would be easy to fake, but it feels honest to me:
author=Gourd_Clae
author=demonlord5000
Gourds arguments have merit too but he isn't a bad vote if only because we can learn much from it. If he flips town, then it may be worth rereading psy and caves posts and voting for one of them. If gourd flips scum, I'd think it likely both psy and cave are town because they have been rather aggressive about lynching him.
if town wants to vote me idc as long as you consider my theory more strongly when I flip town.


It doesn't belong here but I like 2 last posts from LockeZ, the one he's voting me in and this one:

author=LockeZ
My current running theory is that Cave vs. Gourd is a giant red herring because if either of them were scum they would have fucking shut up already.

Probably it's Cap_H and either Hunibear or Aneko.


towncred for that. I think at least one of them is capable of faking it, but its an unnecssary effort.
And I like the latest post from gourd (associating me with huni). Psy obviously like it too.
So, I still suspect LockeZ but less than I did, #Lynch Aneko, Psy's trending down but not a whole lot.
I don't know if I would vote Cave or Gourd. Probably not.

An interesting point of view. Dunno, I find it easier to talk about them as they're new to the game and you can find purity in their posts.
Votes from d1 are showing good enough that it's exactly Cave and Huni or neither of them. LockeZ vote would make sense if he were a wolf with someone else on the wagon, because he stated before he didn't want no-lynch and voted with majority. This way he avoided making proper reads on both wagons.
Also, I can't be a wolf with huni, our votes on Demon wouldn't make sense.

Actually, there are only 2 players, who sticked with their votes you and gourd. If Cave's town, you had no reason to switch vote. And I currently townlean Gourd for his push, which is very consistent. I would need to check your posts to see if they're consistent too.

It doesn't read as overtly suspicious but this is a lot of town reading. Fits into the theory that you're buddying up to town to avoid being lynched.

I'll leave a vote for cap here. the argument on him is good I think and multiple people seem to like it better than everything else that happened today. I gotta sleep. If I'm lynched in the morning sorry I made a mess. ;w;

#Lynch cap
Yeah, hm, I reread Hunibear's stuff and kind of see Huni probably is town -- https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/23773/?post=850663#post850663 would be a mistake from danganronpa or something. Although to Cap's point I don't see anything really that scummy about Aneko. It would be super nice if either of these people showed up though, because otherwise we have 6 voters, 5 needed to kill, and possibly 2 of those voters are scum... so, might be impossible to actually kill scum today without them.

I considered switching back to Gourd but I think more likely is Cap with some other scumpartner. His unwillingness to tag anyone else does seem like he's being pigeonholed into townreading his partner though, maybe, which means he'd have to scumread a random. Still unsure. Gourd tonight seems like about-to-be-mislynched Gourd from simplemafia, though.

With 8 alive, it takes 5 to lynch. Day 2 ends in

Here comes Muffle!

Okay, I just woke up and read walls and walls of text. Probably should've waited until later in the day so it'd make sense to me but there's only a few hours left.

Gourd, Cap, and psy seem the most scummy to me. They've all made posts and arguments that just seem to make this case worse. Gourd is constantly running in circles, psy has said a few weird things, and Cap doesn't make much sense in several posts.

Yes, I noticed this more when this was brought up. But I'm not just jumping on the scumhunt train from other people, they make valid points and going back and reading what they're talking about I can't think of any other scenario.

My biggest reads are Gourd > Cap > psy because Gourd just seems to be running around in circles and spouting suspicions at Cave to direct suspicion from themselves. The reason I suspect psy last is because compared to the others they've just said a couple of weird comments.

I will admit with Gourd that psy and Cave could be a scum team but this could be Gourd trying to get suspicion off himself, assuming Gourd is scum anyways. Plus, I think it'd be too obvious and they're both too smart to do something like that. It's quite possible one could be scum.

Because there's only one vote to Gourd even though I suspect him more, I don't want to cause a no lynch and since I also suspect Cap I'm going to go ahead and #lynch Cap_H I wasn't able to help much this day and I sincerely apologize.
