votes for yesterday:
bo_sox was voting Kak for a while and only seemed to hop over to Control V once that wagon was winning. Reads as a bandwagon bus.
BunnyGo is conf.
Chaqa voted yavuzovic early and then coasted for the rest of the day
Control V pushed kak
I pushed DreamTrawler and yavuzovic
DreamTrawler did contribute heavily to the restart of the Control V wagon, which could be a bus, but probably not.
Will and Kak pushed Control V again (gee golly, these two are town! Who could have predicted it?)
rdr formed a PoE out of most of the non-confs, voted kak and then coasted for the rest of the day
yavuzovic basically bandwagoned onto whatever wagon was leading at the time, and quite likely bussed Control V with that last bandwagon vote

You’re claiming the two deciding votes on Control V were busses? Even when I tried to get anyone to vote kaka instead?

Plausible, I think not the most likely scenario without other reasons.

The way bo goes about it is… strange to say the least

He goes “i’d be okay with control v”
Then all of a sudden, control’s statements earlier are ‘slipping up’.
We don't have a mechanic that would allow us to detect scum in any way if they keep bussing. Especially if they helped against a scum and gained massive credibility.
Right, but I think its a bus based on how bo went about it. I also don’t have as strong a conviction that Kak is mafia, so I’m thinking it was actually bo/chaqa the whole time

I have a kind of crazy theory. But it makes sense to me.

I was expecting a lot of people to throw their potatoes at me last night

They did not

I think it’s because mafia had potatoes and they’re trying to get me killed during the day, so they didn’t think it was worth it to give me potatoes.

Thoughts?

I threw a potato to you on N3 and if I didn't forgot to send my potato you would have another this night. And if we are both alive you will have a potato tomorrow.

How is it that yazu, rdrivera, and Bunny are the only ones with potatoes? Possibly Bo and Kaka could have some but this is weird. We don’t want to be surprised by a bunch of explosions.

I think we need to coordinate a mass potato throw this turn so that we can try and eliminate multiple potential candidates next turn.

The only single reason I didn't throw you potatoes is because I didn't have any, and I confirm that I wouldn't throw any either if I was mafia, because I also wouldn't have any.

Seems as if Bo hopped on Control for bussing and then came up with the reasoning later

He spent all of that last day trying to nudge us toward Chaqa and Kak. Kak looks much better in light of that past day, and Chaqa is lhf, prime miskill or bus material.

It seems like bo was trying to save Control V until he saw it wasn’t possible, ngl
If I were trying to save Control, I probably wouldn’t have started shit with Control. He didn’t need saving. Kaka was firmly in the lead and the only reason any movement ever took place is because I started grilling Control on what I believed was a fuck up, which I led into with pointed questions and gave him time to respond, voting for him only when I had stared at his actively online account leaving me without a response for long enough.

Had I not made a move against Control, the day was just gonna waste away. Scum would have been wise to sit down and enjoy the rodeo there, and if I were scum that’s precisely what I would have done. That said, I appreciate that you, unlike several others who I thought were better, aren’t just swooping in and trying to townclear me as if I couldn’t have bussed there.

The only player you could argue that I worked to save yesterday is Kaka, and you no longer scumread him based on how yesterday went down. Neither do I.

I am curious what your thoughts on Dream’s day 4 are.

Can someone quickly explain the reasoning for bo looking better?

Also checking bo’s vote history, he’s literally been off a major wagon every single day until today. And he woulda ended up on someone random if he didn’t switch to control last minute

I think bo is mafia. I think he’s the utr threat.
That’s disingenuous. I was the leading vote on the leading wagon. I wasn’t going to end up on “someone random” lmao

I think you should be open to the possibility that, regardless of your alignment, nobody really cares about you
