I've been on a scum team before and been in discussions of strategy to confuse scum in postgames. This ain't my first rodeo.
Balduran (119 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
@Prado Actually, I'd like to talk to you about that post earlier.

"HR wasn't in proper danger of lynch that day. But his lynch could've come the day after the ghug lynch. That's what I meant. I pretty clearly stated it would've been a different day, and on that day he could've gotten momentum off of ghug as well so that scum couldn't be caught two days in a row."

You start off by saying you thought HR's lynch would come the day after ghug's lynch, then claim HR pretended to be cop to get the heat off ghug. How, in that situation, does HR die the day after ghug, if he's faked a guilty on a member of town?
Balduran (119 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
Also, you say you didn't know ghug was vanilla scum, but you would if you were the hooker, and it kind of makes sense, in that case, that you'd push him as a sacrifice to give stalker Balki more time to get scans, particularly since you'd already planned him as your bus target.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
I hate this pressure. 2 games in a row I've had to decide. Only reason I got the last one right is because MF couldn't endhammer himself and I changed my mind.

@Prado - Any explanation as to why Balduran decided to bus ND D1 with an hour left when he could have pushed snowy's wagon into the lead?
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
D3

You're misrepresenting me. I clearly was coming from the idea that
1) ghug would be lynched D2, and
2) HR would be lynched D3

BEFORE the claim. Then the claim took heat off ghug.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
Tom:

I am not sure myself. But rdrivera seemed to suggest it was intended to be temporary but he ended up with little choice. The same could be asked for why Balki couldn't get me to flip. Or why ghug couldn't get y2k to flip. D1 is strange.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
I think scum just weren't on the same page at EoD.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
@Bald - Were you on at EOD? You said you had to leave with 30 minutes left.
Balduran (119 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
@Tom I'd also like to direct your attention to the way TrPrado spent last night and came into today. He's gone out of his way to set up both of us as options for him going into today. He set up his "reaction test" to determine alignments, but after he flips RD over it, he decides that my reaction wasn't actually meaningful and I could be scum anyway, while at the same time typing up a case on you. Then this day phase, he comes out votes you "until he has a better grasp on things," until he sees you leaning towards lynching me, at which point he throws out his whole case on you over....Vash being the NK target who you'd townread? That doesn't even mean anything since, he really scumread you, that's well enough explained by you townreading him, then NKing him to cast shade on me

TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
Bald:

And Tom and I were clearly more likely to lynch each other than Vash or you last night.

So you have some clear incentive to NK Vash in that case, correct?
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
Eh. Even if Bald wasn't on at EOD, I can't see hooker bussing a lawyer with an hour left with the plan to jump off closer to EOD. That would draw too much attention to him.

Ugh.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
There's no attention on him after that point, so...
Balduran (119 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
@Prado I think Vash was more likely to not think through who he was lynching in a logical fashion. If I were scum, I would have gone to lylo with that rather than Tom or you (you at least respond to logic, Vash operates on his own rules, in my experience). That said, NKs, especially NKs before lylo, are likely fraught with WIFOM, so I don't even try to get anything out of them.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
Allright. I'm on my way out. I can check a couple of times on my phone, but I'm quite sure my vote won't change.

##vote TrPrado

This mostly has to do with my read of Balduran. His D1 bus just screams town. And I don't put it past Balki to bus Prado. If Bald burnt me by bussing, so be it. His apathy is normal for town, even if it can look scummy. Everything he has said today seems to be natural and what I would expect from Balduran.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
His vote on ND could've been to get this clear.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
Fucking hell Tom you're letting town down.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
Could be. But I don't think Bald does that without consent from his scumbuddies. Its just not his personality.

If it makes you feel better, you played a really good game as scum.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
He's clearly not been natural today. He's been misconstruing everythhing and picking evidence out of thin air to call contradictions.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
I won't be guilted into changing my mind Prado.
TrPrado (461 D)

Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
exactly.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
He didn't have time to coordinate day one. And clearly he wasn't alone. Balki and ghug both jumped on.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
23 Jun 17 UTC
The fact that he didn't have time to coordinate is exactly why I don't think he would bus.

I don't know why I'm arguing with you. My mind is made up.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
I've put more work into this game than both of you combined just to see town lose.

Bald hasn't plated well enough to give scum this victory. You're fucking us up, Tom.
TrPrado (461 D)
23 Jun 17 UTC
"The fact that he didn't have time to coordinate is exactly why I don't think he would bus."

And the behvior of both Balki and ghug clearly indicates that no one on their team was on the same page.

Is the voter fraud investigation a distraction?
Is it Republican Data mining? Beating a dead horse? Or all of the above. It feels like its designed to help Republicans gain shitloads of unsolicited free information about voters. Why else would they need such data? Why not trust the states - many of which are Red states to uphold fair elections.

New player - submitting support orders
Hi. Could someone please explain the syntax for submitting a support order? It shows up as: Army at X support move to Y from Z.
So, X is the supporting army. But is Y the Army that is being supported or the territory that they are attacking?
Thanks!

GB 3 Game Tournament
Being in the middle of a pretty long, drawn-out game, I feel the need to flex some tactical muscle. I'd like to propose a 3 game, semi-anon, 24 hour phase, WTA series. Preference is for a high reliability (<80%) and moderate to high GR. 25 to 50 point buy-in. Once we get the 7, games will be created and PW messaged out.

1) Hamilton Brian RR 98%, general GR position of 177
