Well done scum.
Sorry to town that I had to be subbed for a non-game reason for a week of play. Thanks very much to Teacon for doing a good job as my temporary sub. I would note that I tried to shoot a scum as I was NKed.

Tom played very well and is his team's MVP whatever Balki thinks.

HR was Town's worst player. His gambit was stupidly risky and just not a sensible play. It outed our cop and got him (our Doc) killed. Idiot.

It ended up drawing a line to all the remaining scum, though.

Also I don't think the suicide test will work as well as it did this game.

I considered sending a PM through bo to the QT that I thought Tom was last scum before my reveal.

All the remaining scum?

You voted for Balduran.

The scum believed him. I pointed to it in my case on Tom.

TrPrado you could have nailed Tom. You nearly did. I was rooting for you. But you fucked it up.

Vash's response to the test made me groan quite a bit, but I was sure he was town anyway.

Bald had a poor reaction to the claim but a decent reaction to the suicide test, while Vash was the other way around. The only person who had a poor reaction to both was Tom. I was so fucking close.

And rdrivera had amazing reactions to both. Still don't get why he was so popularly believed to be scum.

Everyone believed him but you, Prado.

And most people didn't have suspicious reasons to do so or weren't as illogically confident as you or Tom. Notice I said Vash had a good reaction. He believed HR.

Town and scum, whether or not they believed it, had pretty distinct reactions for the most part.

I chose believe claimants until there's concrete reason not to. If they're lying, the truth comes out eventually. There wasn't reason not to yet, as either alignment. Riot claimed first, and he gave a reason for his claiming that made sense. That's enough to believe him. We all knew Ika was telling the truth because of the PM bullshit (really disappointed in Ika, BTW. Didn't think he'd stoop to that) and we all chose to "believe" HR anyway, because that was the sensible call. Your issues with coherent logical thought didn't make anyone's reasons invalid.

Choose to believe*

And scum had a clear extra reason to believe the claim. His claim relied on Balki being scum, which was also true.

I understand what you're trying to argue. I just think reading something into the responses is just an example of the unyielding confirmation bias that defined your whole game.

Reading into the responses wasn't as simple as "Did this person believe HR right off or not," there was a method to it. A method that almost won.

It's also a method I'd hope to never have to use again. And now that the correct answer to the suicide test is public knowledge I don't expect to use that one either. The best answer was snowy's.

When does the next round sign up begin?

The correct answer to the suicide test is "lynch me" if you're rd and "fuck off idiot" if you're anyone else.

It's "I'm clearly no use to town which is a hindrance at this point, so I'm fine with you killing me to make sure town's chances are optimized."

^ yeah. I don't think my answer would have been any different if I was town.

Also, thanks to the GMs for running the game.

So.... HR is banned from the next game, right?

His behaviour harmed his team's win condition.

I still haven't seen a coherent explanation why a town Doctor would claim to be Cop when under no pressure.

I asked for this explanation in the God thread, and didn't get one.

No isn't a scum indicative answer by itself. That was also Vash's answer. It's just voicing a willingness for it is something I didn't see scum doing.

Bad play doesn't equal game ban

I thought you played pretty well Prado - you were hurt Balduran at the end. I knew that I was a higher townread of his, and if I posted lengthy 'analysis/reads' he would take those on face value as towny effort.

I also think that while the rest of the scum team died pretty early, they did everything correct on the way out to earn me towncred to go deep.

y2k was helpful in that he lasted long enough where I could continue to scumread him, and eventually bus to get more credit.

And Balki was huge. First of all he outed the PR's. Second, he stayed alive long enough for me to scumread him for multiple days and get townread by snowy who was leading the town.

Scumteam never drew any suspicion to me which was big.

Daaaayum.....Bombadil is setting up TrPrado for the next game too!

lol.

But I need to hibernate after that. Being scum is way more stressful than VT haha. I was so paranoid. But it was a blast.
