I'm not 100% on HR and Maniac being town. They're definitely near the bottom of the suspect list, but they're not completely off it.

@bb - if I were scum, I would not have grabbed gun. I would've grabbed the binoculars.
Also, its a 50/50 shot that they lost whatever item they grabbed last night. That's fairly good odds.

And I'm in agreement with bo and Chaqa. They're pretty low on the suspect list, but not off. The longer they stay alive, the higher up they go.

If scum team is teacon and Ogion like we think, then I bet the gun is out of action. ESPECIALLY if they do have a Hooker, and therefore would have little need of the Whiskey right now.

Well, you all have been busy. I'll point out that I was slow joining the flood wagon although I'm still not clear on how you got there and I think it is somewhat likely Peter flips scum, but I am also not clear why you think I'm scum. I'm still less sold on Teacon and (yes) RHK. That said, I was basically third on Ikaneko and may still have good reads on others (I'm pretty sure Vashta is town and I don't think we should waste more time on him. Frankly, Chaqa, you still have some suspect, since I have to wonder why Ikaneko steeped you rather than Xorx or flood.

I apologize for being checked out. Mafia probably isn't my game and I have had hikes and parties and hanging out with wife and friends this weekend. That's a touch more compelling, fun as this is. Lame, I know!

Imm drunk af and I ghink I got bussed uesterday

I think so too Bo, sorry man

Ogion you have done fine. youve talked, answered questions. I think you are the best of the new players.

you think you got bussed bo? wouldnt that mean you are scum? lol

Shur up vecna yoi dont know my pain

Yeha brainshit it does

From the maf QT:
bo_sox: brainboawmb is messing us up sooo bad.
HellenicRiot: Yes. lets get fuyckdc up bo and play strip mafia.

Yagerrr

I played Town of Salem just now.

It's very weird.

Question 1) Did any confirmed dead scum ever doubt Peterlund.

Question 2) Why did all 3 so far seem to imply peterlund was a bad lynch.

Thoughts)
Scum would have at least 1 person pushing/bussing Peterlund. Its very unlikely that scum wouldnt try to lynch a real PR or bus a teammate PR.

This makes me very suspicious of ND too

ND is weird this game. like ive never seen ND go this deep into a game without a case. Isnt ND normally engaged?

ND reacted weirdly to Vecna too. and his case about catching Peterlund in a fake claim is strange too. Why is there nothing else from ND. no reads... nothing

Common scum strategy is to align yourself opppsite to two counter wagons. that way you are diverse in viability. its common for 2 scum to end a day together but its not common for 5 scum to all declare a player towny.

If Peterlund is town its likely someone was on his wagon from scumteam besides just flood.

If Peterlund is scum its possible only 1 scum bussed him but they could easily hide 2 here.

We should look at HR and ND connections to flood and ikaneko. how did ND react to xorx and flood.

@ND beyond Peterlund who is last scum. is it possible 2 scum were on Peterlund wagon at EOD?

A. Is HR bussing Peterlund.

B. Is Ogion bussing Peterlund

C. Are you bussing?

D. Is Peterlunds claim true if he is RB'd again?

P46:

"Can anyone tell me if they think my point about Peterlund is valid from my reads list? Pretty sure I caught him in a fake claim."

"##Vote peterlund

Until someone can tell me if my point is incorrect somehow. Pretty sure I caught him in a fake claim."


I know I have often accused ND of tunnel vision, and forming an opinion and then searching for the evidence afterwards, but here he actually ASKS people to correct him if he's wrong.....Is this ND finally changing his town playstyle or ND's meek scumstyle (even though its quite different from M20, but that would probably be too obvious).

p47

"Well I have already proven Peter is fake claiming. My vote stays on him for now. Also his reads were hilariously bad."



Another post with great hesitation. He has PROVEN the fakeclaim, but he's still hesitant about the vote as opposed to his normal townplay. Everyone knows what ND usually does when he has "proven" someone to be scum, and it does not include hesitation at all.

I guess it did not in this case either, since his vote stayed on him

Looks more like M18 scum meta than M20

What a dull nightphase. Im surprised Vash is not here to criticize those that tried to get him lynched.

Hey ND, can we be expecting some more detailed reads from you tonight?

Guess we'll just have to start eliminating the lurkers at this point.

** GM NOTE **

I am online and will answer any GM calls - are there any outstanding? I don't see any on the last couple of pages.

You have 8 hours and 20 minutes until EoN.

Is anyone going to be online today?
Who can be online at EON?

@bb - I think those questions about peterlund are good questions, but will require a full reread to determine answers. I recall lots of people thinking a lund lynch was a bad idea (not only the now confirmed scum). I remember reading things like: "he's a newbie vt who thought fakeclaiming would help town" or "newbie screwed up, but he's uncc'd so let's keep him alive."

Those don't seem like good enough reasons for N2. Maybe for D1, but not for N2.

"Those don't seem like good enough reasons for N2. Maybe for D1, but not for N2."

@teacon7 So you apparently plan to NK me?

I will be on at EoD2.

I AM THE REPORTER.

I didn't want to do this right away. I wanted to actually report on someone, so the existence of a reporter would be known and discussed before claiming. Unfortunately, my targets didn't "go out," at night, and thus the newspaper didn't publicly publish any of my reporting. I'm claiming now because I'm worried that I'll get shot. bo's the only one arguing for holding the shot, and the rest want to shoot me. Thanks to bo/bb for trying to forestall this, but I'm still too skittish at the idea of a 50% desp shot between me and Ogion. (I think that mafChaqa has been pushing for the desp to shoot me *because* he picked up on my crumbs? Whatever, I believe him)

Breadcrumbs:
-pg16 - I mention having a "mild-mannered alter ego," something Superman has as Reporter Clark Kent (https://www.google.com/#q=mild-mannered+alter+ego)
-pg55 I asked for others to "give me the scoop" on what happened while I was absent.
(https://www.google.com/#q=journalism+scoop)
-pg60 I "publish" my reads.
-pg70 - I misspell, using the journalistic term "lede" instead of the appropriate word "lead" - (https://www.google.com/#q=lede Wasn't as much of a breadcrumb as I thought at first, because apparently the term is insider-jargon)
-How many times have I used the word "anchor" ? weak, I know, because it's mostly mafia jargon, but also the title for the main reporter in a newscast. (https://i.imgflip.com/moswa.jpg)
--pg78 I call myself a "hack" (https://www.google.com/#q=hack+journalism), and quote anchorman (https://www.google.com/search?q=anchorman+meme&rlz=1CATAAB_enUS668US668&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi--_C8-dfNAhVn0oMKHaa8AJ0QsAQIIA&biw=1920&bih=987#imgrc=HsHScPnHMywHWM%3A). As my "signoff" post for the day, I mention that I was going to "hide" .... as in, hide in the newsroom according to the rulestext flavor for my role.
-note also I fished for advice on whether the reporter should report at 4pr/1mafpr. no one answered, so you're at the mercy of my inexperience :(

Actions:
N1 I followed bo, because he was being overly helpful to newbies and I scumread him. Seemed too gutsy for town PR, but perhaps he rolled mafia and was helping a scumteam.
N2 I wanted to follow peterlund, to prove/disprove an inventor claim. That said this evening, I will not be reporting, but hiding in the newsroom so I don't get NK'd or shot.

D3 I can use my other ability to have this GM-confirmed.
N3 and beyond, Desp shouldn't shoot me, because I'm town. Maf shouldn't NK me, because my nightly is more likely to expose PR than mafPR.
