If it's on Spotify I'll give it a listen on my way to work today (yes, Saturday...)

I'm wondering if we could flip Mazre's claim into our win

the only reason scum would believe Mazre's claim was because we knew his three listed people were Town / not-scum, and so we believed he was a standard alignment cop

the risk is that having three confirmed Town at this stage in the game is... risky for us

but we can paint Lone_Prodigy as one of Kyanrute's scum partners by combining the fact that he was likely to believe Mazre's claim as genuine, with his shady voting record, his choice at the start of today to launch immediately into saying he had a drink, and also Kyanrute putting him as a 'null read'

we can say Kyanrute put L_P as a 'null read' jic his claim was believed and he lived another day, just to distance in case L_P's dodgy behaviour came back to bite him later and he flipped scum

we'd need to definitely off one of those three tonight (nin, Time, Salva)

but if town lynch MattyG tomorrow, then we've won

but it's really risky for me to make that line of logic known in the main thread because we'd both be putting ourselves on that shortlist and it could completely backfire

idk, what do you think?

...I regret my decision

hmm

if enough people jump on L_P's MattyG vote, and MattyG flips Town, we can win tomorrow without me needing to bus you, one of us can just be like 'see guys we were right the whole time' and immediately vote L_P, hopefully Town will walk right into it and then the other one of us can hammer

otoh, if L_P goes, the two of us argue that we majorly stuck our necks out and built cases against him, and MattyG just threw his lot in with us, scum are likely to be lying low knowing that town will eat itself, I'm sure that we can find something that works

...basically let's just say a prayer that the vote doesn't flip onto either of us, aha, although if it goes onto me, you can point out post-mortem that I was trying to deflect from Timeaisis and SalvaPot and prematurely remove them from the running, that'll give you some mileage

we'll see, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink

Brexit mafia would have some hilarious roles, 'I think we've all had enough of experts' is a scum command that automatically kills all power roles + all players that make sense.

nnnnnn ttk, actually if you're convinced you're going to lip sync for your life tomorrow, you could always make this fun and go for broke

just say whoever you tracked performed the scum kill

If I survive the whole game somehow I'm definitely getting MVP

Bwahahahaha

All is going as planned

fuck me this game is stressful, I need a stiff drink and a stiff dick

Of those two options, I want to kill nin tonight. He was never bulletproof, which was why Mazre was initially convinced he was scum, because he got a vanilla read N2. We should be fine. If Gorlak gives me a drink tonight, the way he says it there's a 1/3 chance I'll die. I would rather not take that chance, haha.

We can't kill MattyG because ideally he's the one we're stitching up tomorrow. We can't risk Gorlak. We have nin, Timeaisis and Salva as our options. (god I was wondering if there were more names for a minute but I realised there's only seven of us left). Actually, Timeaisis prioritised me over MattyG in his little scum ranking, so I'm thinking maybe if we kill him and then say it would be too obvious for me to kill someone suspicious of me at such a late stage? But he's also suspicious of you so uuuuuugh. But nin was suspicious of you. Fuck.

tomorrow, you have four options
A) you tracked me and saw nothing
B) you tracked Matty and saw nothing
C) you tracked me and saw me doing the kill
D) you tracked Matty and saw him doing the kill

I don't like C, because I think we can win tomorrow without you bussing me, but it's down to your judgement, and if you think your solo win on a later day is more probable than the two of us tomorrow, eh.

A and B are the paths of least resistance for you, and are basically you saying 'idk I saw nothing but their scum partner may have done the kill'. That'll turn it into the me v MattyG bowl and urgh that'll be a nightmare.

the riskiest option tomorrow is D, and if we play it wrong and they catch on we're dead, but L_P's last statements placed the utmost faith in you and he gave you a get out of jail free card with all his 'if I were scum I'd leave ttk alive to cause doubt and raise the likelihood of a mislynch', and obviously he was Town, so I definitely think we could point to those reasons

I honestly think we should go with D, because I can't be arsed to fight for my life tomorrow and it offers great potential for our win, but obviously that puts you at risk, and I completely understand if you want to play a longer game and maybe bus me tomorrow instead.

I'm still trying to decide if I'm mad at L_P for bringing that up, because I'd already thought of it and it was going to be my plan of attack tomorrow. Now it sounds like something I'm just clinging to. Or maybe it planted the seed in their heads anyway.

I don't mind what you're saying, it's all good. I don't mind making the big move, I mean, the spotlight is going to start on me anyway. I just have to figure out how to play it.

Nin is a weird case. Sure, he says I'm scum, but he has said that practically every day about me. And in the end he doesn't always vote for me. So it's strange. My concern is that killing him will make me seem even guiltier since he was "onto" me. Leaving him alive may make me able to say I'm not scum or else he'd be dead.

I think we should kill the person who is LEAST LIKELY to be lynched tomorrow, as well as not a possibility of blowback. Like you said, Gorlak is out in case it backfires. I feel like the least likely candidate to die is Timeaisis. He had 0 votes yesterday, meaning nobody should be a surefire candidate... unless you think there's an incriminating post for one of us about him. He's also probably accumulated the least votes overall.

Nin is a good choice, I just wonder who it will blow back on. Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE the idea of him getting killed because he's talkative. If he's gone, then tomorrow it's mostly just Gorlak talking to himself, which would make it easier on me for sure. Nin and Gorlak together could easily get a turbo to happen, which is playing with fire... could end up good or bad for us.

So in my opinion it should be Timeaisis or Nin. Timeaisis because he's practically invisible and gives no info, and Nin because he's a loudmouth who is unpredictable. I can live with either, but we have a little more time to talk it over thankfully.

I'm not sure which scenario I'd be more likely to bus you in, if that's on your mind. I'm not planning on doing it but will if I think it will give me townie points enough to live through the last day.

Here's what I'm thinking.
We kill Timeaisis. I track MattyG. I say he didn't go anywhere.

+ It leaves all the more suspicious players in the game.
+ He was 2nd on my scum list (after L_P) so it makes sense that I would track him.
- You become a more likely target tomorrow. If this is the way the tide is moving I have to jump on.
+ However, if I get lynched tomorrow, you become a LESS likely target the next day, as MattyG would become the prime suspect.
+ I can argue that if I was scum there's no way I'd let Timeaisis be the target, because that would be stupid.
+ MattyG will probably be grateful for the assist and keep heat off of me.

That's how I'm feeling right now. Let me know what you think. It's your kill, so I'll go with your choice. You know my thinking, so I'll leave it to your judgment. Just don't forget to post your kill! I think tracking MattyG is the best choice no matter what so I'm just gonna do it.


MODS PRETEND THIS IS RED BELOW HERE
LET ME KNOW IF YOU GOT IT

-------------
TRACK: MattyG
-------------

I agree with your judgement

KILL: Timeaisis

curious to see how the others start the day, would be amusing if nin and Gorlak eat each other

going to bed now,

thought for when I get up: likelihood of successfully spinning it all back on Gorlak? he added stuff to his claim yesterday to explain why he wouldn't be nightkilled, which puts holes in his 'I'm just a harmless person handing out drinks' narrative

MattyG is townreading me and getting bamboozled, and I'll say I've been townreading MattyG, and the only explanation for that and its conflict with the calculations is that the scum PR is one of you guys (you or Gorlak), I think Matty'll buy it

we can call back to L_P's 'call a spade a spade' and say, hold on a minute

also his whole town-leader thing, 'no willy-nilly votes guyz', nin is obviously desperate to stick it to him

idk, I'm mulling it over, obviously I'll lead and we'll see how it goes, but do you think it could be a fruitful line of action? the issue is that that turns the heat on you a bit, if you don't mind?

Also with what you're planning we might get Matty to go after Gorlak. Have to think he possibly likes me for practically clearing him today.

I'm announcing that I have a drink.

I've been given a drink, from myself.
