LOCKEZ'S PROFILE

It's probably also worth looking back at demonlord and the voting, as going by what ozzy said it's quite likely the scum agents didn't disclose their identities initially but demonlord would have disclosed his to them when things got serious.

Wouldn't it also be possible that Demonlord didn't reveal his identity to them as to avoid making them try to protect him either consciously or subconsciously? By doing that, it would make all of the other scum look like town.

That doesn't really make sense. I mean, scum should usually be protecting each other. You might decide to throw someone under the bus, but it doesn't make any sense to not even want the option to know whether you're doing so or not. Or to not give your teammates that option.

So, we still got Fomar a confirmed town both from an item and the slip demon made (I need to recheck that comment) and Jero an almost confirmed town. I don't think there was any reason for hard bussing like that.

What slip? I missed this.

Something about psy is bothering me. He said the item only had a 90% accuracy rate but Pianotm just said "Fomar is town!" Is he lying? 90% accuracy that the user knows about but the moderator doesn't tell anyone else about sounds like the kind of thing that scum would make up if they had an item that fake-confirmed someone as town. So that when Fomar flips as scum, psy still has an explanation for why he was tricked.

Also he went out of his way to point out a couple other things he didn't know about the item, as if to say, "I can't come up with a foolproof lie to explain my behavior, because I don't know the entire setup, so I'll just leave my options open and claim I don't know exactly what I just did." He doesn't know who it targets. He doesn't know where it goes. He doesn't know WHEN it goes. He doesn't know if the 10% chance is a failure chance or a false reading chance. It's not a very good lie.

Psy's just been generally acting weird all game, asking for things that don't make sense to me. Why did he still want to lynch Ozzy after he claimed as an agent? Why did he want Ozzy to reveal the code names of the agents, when all Ozzy had to do to prove to the other agents was say "I'm Ozzy" in agent chat? He pushed kind of hard for that. Is it because Psy is in scum chat, and suspects that the double agent has the same name in both chats, and wanted that info?

Also, nobody else has used the trombone yet. So I think there's a very real possibility that Psy_wombats is lying and it didn't work anything like how he claimed. But if it just took some time to get transferred to someone else, and someone else has it now, then by all means please prove me wrong. I would love to actually have two confirmed town. Probably four, in fact, after the new mystery owner uses it.

Yeah I might as well. I'll be going to bed soon and I need to have a vote down. He was acting pretty suspiciously before that claim. One thing that's bothering me is that roles/items don't seem to be the same considering that tuba that spawned in. In which case why did ozzy claim to have a paper bag from the start?

I wouldn't normally do this but I'm going to sleep soon and I probably won't be back before the day ends. He's suspicious enough to warrant a vote at least.

scum. someone else make the case for me. nap time.

Yeah, uh. A player publicly proves someone's alignment, and demonlord claims they're scum and wants to lynch them because of made-up reasons. What a garbage suggestion. Also he's been acting weird all day and saying/doing things that make no sense. As several other people have pointed out.

Emily seems to have been helpful, logical, and sensible so far. She's on my town read list. Not sure why Cavedog thinks she's being weird. Maybe he's just trying to get a reaction. Maybe he's scum and is trying to get other people to make up the reasons for him by being vague. (I do still think Cave is town though)

Even though I still think PlatinumAshes is suspicious too.

Also wouldn't a gray agent be possible (or even more likely) instead of an outright traitor, too?

Yeah. The first Spy vs. Spy game had two scum, two town, and a neutral double agent who was in both chats and merely needed to survive to win.

Ok, LockeZ. You're right about that one. I get your vote. We got better reasons to suspect people now - content of their posts. Can you try to write a sentence or two on PA's posts?

PA has barely written that much in his own posts. It's just nonstop jokes, including doubling down on the fuschia agent joke after everyone else pointed out it was a joke. Zero content so far, though that's hardly unique to PA.

I mean, I'm okay with the jokes on day one though. It honestly helps us get reads to some degree, because inevitably one idiot will take them seriously. Often oddrabbit, pianotm or demonlord then says something really confusing that reveals that they misunderstood the rules in a way that nobody could do if they were in a group chat. Or, as in this case, just over-analyzes the nonsense in a way that nobody would do if they were in a group chat.

As far as pointing out people who are inciting suspicion of others in what feels to me like an excessively aggressive way, which I think is an actual behavioral scum tell, my top concern so far is Cap_H. But Cap_H is also near the top of my town list, if that makes sense. He's making a ton of reads and fostering a lot of discussion, which is good, but his town reads feel a lot better-supported than his scum accusations. I'm not really sold on anyone's behavior as being scummy so far.
