Why are you all voting food right now?
I would appreciate hearing in your own words.

i think he's scum

[Bonatogether]

I see. Afk yea.
Dousing went bona-flav-flum-flav-food. Does that feel pro Flav?
Fox didn't end the day voting for food.
Idk it feels weird to describe the entire wagon in such a way, when it only applies to like 2 people, and it doesn't look like it really applies

dousing - ultimately, yes
fox cannot be described as protecting flum lmao

Did I get it flipped? I thought you were arguing the Flum wagon was to protect Flav.

im lost

##VOTE Demon

Quick everyone, huge wagon forming, join the party.

##VOTE Demon

There's another one. Wow votes are piling in like pigs in a blanket!

This made me laugh

[Col7by]

I don’t understand the food wagon at all. I would be more willing to hop on demon but don’t love the flood rn. Is everyone done looking at yoyo after half of you saying they’re sus

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Demon is such a mid vote. Bro is not maf

[Jamiet99uk]

Because I hurt brainbomb's feelies once. That guy has it out for me.

You're incredibly jokey this afternoon aren't you.

Yeah, probably too much, sorry.

Thanks for not getting mad at me.

We'll just NK you tonight, no worries.

##CALL GM If Flum had consumed a tadpole would you tell us?

Much thought went into this ruling, as in Baldurs Gate 3, a person who had been tadpoled the tadpole appears and it is evident. However in this mafia game, darg and I decided that there would not be any indication whatsoever of if someone was tadpoled or not.

@Vecna

Give this ruling I think there’s another way to read Flum’s post.

how would flum know who tadpoled him? I guess its possible he accepted and entered the mafia chat and made that post, but it shouldve all happebed in under 4 minutes. Possible but I feel hed need a bit more time to choose whether to accept or decline.

I think he started as goon and either wanted to imcriminate sweet, or actually tadpoled sweet and wabted to convince him to accept (which fits with my view of mafia desperately wanting to ensure it was accepted).

Given sweets feigned ignorance after i confronted him about it, and his movements around the d3 wagon, I sadly feel the latter is more likely.

His hostile attitude towards me while my line of enquiry is rather logic also makes me lean towards the latter.

I might be wrong. but sweet is acting eeally weird suddenly.

[Dousing]

These 24 hour phases are hard on top of a huge game, and with my travel and family commitments over the last several days, there are large portions of the thread I've skimmed, and a couple dozen pages I just skipped. I'm now juggling game with work. I've probably also spent too much time defending myself rather than scumhunting. So overall, I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water here.

So I'm going to shoot Flum now and see what happens. Better now, than trying to claim when I'm a wagon at 30 min out when there's no time. (Not that PR claims mean anything about alignment in this setup.) If he's scum, great. If he's not, well, I'll have earned LVP (and presumably the daykill), and that'll be that. Either way, it's better than limping along like I'm doing now.

The order is in.

(And I have work meetings now, so it'll be a bit before I'm back.)

The way I got nervous reading this even though I already knew the result of the shot

Yeah my demon excitement is over

##VOTE yoyo

I’ve been scumreading him for a while now, he’s a better target imo

[sweetandcool]

so sweet, still think that msg about the tadpole was innocent?

because youre gonna be everyones #1 scumread now

Seems too prescient to me.

##VOTE Vecna

I'm almost certainly not doing anything productive this phase since a VIP is visiting today (IRL). So Fox is Town and BM WAS Mafia. So President Eden is Town.

how do you conclude the bm is mafia?

They would have probably activated it D1 if Flum was Town. Probably. Likely. Technically not necessarily.

[Dousing]

I’ve officially caught up now.

I haven’t read any of N3 but I’ve read all of D4 so far

Anyways shitposting aside what kind of case is there on yoyozo? I dont recall ever thinking he was mafia?

[sweetandcool]

More importantly what is your case on Vecna? Please convince the masses, since I am incapable of it.

[Ezio]

Ya I hate the food wagon rn and everyone on it, especially the late joiners.
I don't think any of them are thinking about the vote and just going with the flow. Like, I'm the only one I remember posting a real case against him. My case was built largely on VCA from D2, which I now believe to be irrelevant (I think Battlemaster is very likely scum).
I really like food voting Flum yesterday as well.

[Foxcastle]

Okay, glad that worked out. I'm caught up on the thread and trying to rapidly look at the different wagon options.

[sweetandcool]

Why did you claim as you shot? I thought the point of claiming is to give your target a chance to change your mind or claim, etc.

*snip*
[*]Yoyoyozo - Eh... null at best. Mostly mechs and voting Monarch for her catchup when he's also lurking. Seems a little opportunistic/low effort than actually contributing to consensus.
*snip*

I think you understate what we know about yoyo

As Ezio and I said his votes/scumreads are random or useless:

Why food? I havent seen the argument for it yet

I haven't felt any conviction or drive to solve. He's randomly kept calling me scum and a lurker when I was pretty active all day 2, but he seemed slow to the party on that.
Also his votes d2 are awful. Me->Damo (which always looked bad imo)->me->damo->me.
Finally, when the cards were on the table and it was balki vs dip, he voted dip.

This was his vote:
"
@@VOTE Diplomacy&Warfare

I guess?
"
There's no reasoning there. He hadn't previously scumread dip, and we now know that was the *wrong* wagon.
It was his only post in the final 5 hours of the day, with 15 minutes left. I suspect he was posting more in the mafia daychat than in this one.

##VOTE MadMonarch

Your rapid succession of posts seem prepared. How are you replying to posts that are hours apart in a few minutes, jumping back and forth in time, etc.

Yoyo %%VOTE Demon out of retaliation and how they're %%VOTE Monarch bc... they're participating?

Neither of these look like actual votes imo. This is barely better than a nokill vote bc it's not giving us anything.

I think y'all miht be right about Yoyo being a mafia skater

##VOTE Yoyoyozo

Obviously it’s relying of semi-old information but I wasn’t here for N3


Also a lot of his posts today are him arguing with Jamie over the setup. I’m not saying he didn’t participate but if you eliminate the posts where he doesn’t talk about the setup you don’t see a lot of involvement from him.

Also he scumreads Colby and Arro but votes sweet? (Twice I may add)
