Did Pop ever come back after his "lol rule one is to vote for Sorian!" post? That's sticking out to me the longer he sits on it.

Terrabyte do you want to expand on that vote? You haven't said anything about Sorian before. I actually haven't said anything yet. I've been watching, and something just isn't clicking with his claims. It just doesn't add up to me. What's not clicking? I'm happy to answer what I can.

You "die, come back with more info, barely want to hint at said info, people who are willing to back you up but won't say why.
I fully understand that it is likely for there to be a very good reason for this, but I'm just not seeing it right now.

I'm confused? How is playing against multiple scum factions an exercise in futility? The best source of information in this game is mafia deaths. With multiple mafia factions, you can no longer use that information reliably. All kinds of information is wasted. Their comment history.. their voting patterns. They all come into question. It's no longer fun at that point. You're not sherlock piecing a puzzle together anymore. You're waiting out the storm hoping someone trips up with a PR. And to this, two scum factions in a 31 person game would be about as big as we expect in a regular game. It is harder sure but the offset is that scum can hit each other. I wouldn't call it futile, we've seen expert town play beat this before.

He went full Darryl with that drive by vote. You never go full Darryl. AT MOST you go 80 % Darryl. I think I've done a better job explaining my votes than the majority of the players in here. Your vote on Ridli was garbage. Uh, I'm pretty sure he was joking. Wanting to kill yourself after finding out the game you're playing in actually has two mafia factions is a relatable request from a town perspective that us real townies can sympathize with. Playing against two mafia teams is a huge exercise in futility. Whether or not it's "anti-town", who gives a fuck? It's a joke. It's not going to happen. This play-by-the-book stance makes it seem like you're digging through these archives to find points to raise (to appear town), rather than being a town player following his gut to find scum. Ridli is scummy in your accusation only in the scenario that you're scum trying to find a town player to call scum. Digging through earlier posts to get reads is a #scumtell now? Suuuuuuuuure.

I'm sorry if you've already answered this before Sorian, but do you have to be vague for the same reason I can't just post my role PM?

I fully understand that it is likely for there to be a very good reason for this, but I'm just not seeing it right now. I mean, I've definitely been forthright with everything, I wouldn't say barely. I will admit that I'm surprised at reactions, specifically those whoe are hardline believing me or hardline say I'm lying. I'd expect more skeptical people.

More on roytheone: mentions a coincidence is his role pm. Only one I can really think of coming from him would be if his SA is an owl, but really, it could mean he ahs hints as to what other players are See I'm having trouble thinking scum roy would have brought this up. it was brought up alone, no one else suspected this. This seems a bit of a weird theory for a scum to come out with on day one. Am I alone in this thinking? Scrafty also brought it up iirc LoC is so obvious it hurts Thinking back on Sorian, I can totally see him keep his excuses up throughout the game. So Sorian, can you make a clear dividing line for us? Also, how would you feel about getting targeted by a town vigilante tonight? Make a clear dividing line? What do you mean? Also this is going to be scummy as fuck and I know it is which is why I've avoided the topic but you'll probably push if I ignore it. I would caution against trying to kill me if you are town-aligned. between info you can and cannot tell us Do it this way- categorize what is common in the info you can give us VOTE: Roytheone shifty, giving me scum vibes. There's a definite difference between scum and town Roy, I'm feeling scum Roy Interesting you mention this, since I think most people would argue the opposite and say I tend to be indistinguishable between town and scum and play them both about the same. You of all people should know this since we were in the GOAT together. About the role PM's not being completely RNG: I said that because during that time, there was a bit of discussion about "would splinter do weird shit to be funny?", and based on a coincidence in my role PM I had reasons to think that was a possibility. I never pushed anyone to say if they had the same feeling, Scrafty did that completely on her own accord. Also, scrafty already said at that point that she would be OK with dying, which is kind of a soft claim in itself. I would say being on GOAT with you helped me identify the difference. Towards the end of HP, there were definite scum tells, you sort of rested on your laurels and were uiet, not participating much, etc, semi hiding in background while being active all the same Don't get so caught up in other people's praise to assume there's isn't a difference there.

The main thing is that I doubt two scum factions could win together, and Cthulhu taught us that the main thing about multiple scum factions is that while it makes the game harder overall for town, it also makes life harder for the mafia teams individually.
Hence my 5 scum, 2 scum, 1-2 neutral guess
It seem about right

But yeah, it's a rule so I guess same reason why someone can't copy and paste their role pm. My secondary point was that the role PM isn't supposed to be used to prove anyone's else having the same role (lucky buddies in Dangan). Here it's not really a role, but an effect. Do you know/think anyone else can be killed and resurrected like you were?

Didn't feel like quoting the whole thing and trying to trim. Basically, I can report on what I saw but not where I saw it or the mechanics surrounding that place.

I don't know if anyone else will be killed and revived but I do think other people will see the same things I saw as the game goes on. It seems odd that it was just set up for me. People believing me so quickly is also making me think that people know more.

Am I alone in this thinking? Scrafty also brought it up iirc Yeah but Scrafty only mentioned it after roy brought it up. 1) Town Roy was being genuine and thought there was a narrative to the roles being handed out 2) Scum Roy thought this would be a useful thing to push to attract townies to agree/disagree and make a conclusion regarding their roles from this. The outcomes in my head just now. 2 is possible, but bold. Now they could have a large scum team, so this could pay off, but I don't know. It still feels like a bit ambitious for a day 1 act.

That's like asking the cop if he is certain of the results the mod sends him each day. I guess I could be some type of insane role, I hadn't really considered that but then I don't know how bastard we are getting here.

Just a FYI to everyone: if I get lynched, defiantly look at the people that suddenly created a push against me, not necessarily the people that started it, but the people that were quick to jump on the bus. Also, don't put to much stock in Darryl sounding like he is 100 % sure i am scum and seeing that as a scumtell after I flip town. Darryl always does that shit, it's not a sign he is town or scum.

I'm equally annoyed at Squidy and Pop. Wondering if either will check back in before time. Pop is actually worse in this though, I don't even care that his vote is on me but he's selling it as "here's my vote based on bullshit, deal with it and bye"
