Obviously the lower case writing is meant to throw us. Unfortunately I seem to be unable to look at all of his posts in the game thread but based on the timing of his posts here, he might be in the Eastern US time zone. Or Europe. It's hard to differentiate between posting throughout the day or only in the evening after work/school lol.

I'm also pretty sure Launch passed his "Rolls scum all the god damn time" curse onto me by making me town read him as many times as I did

Ok, we play 20 Questions with Stealin Stan to figure out who he is.

Yes/No questions only.

Stan, have you played in any other games this season?

Oh boy, I feel like this really narrows things down lol. I could be evil and start asking for which game, but I won't lol.

Let me think for a sec on another question...

Did you start playing in the community before me? (I started in August 2018)

you were getting there!

The changes I made were basically pronouns, all lower case, shorter posts, and didn't correct grammar mistakes. Worked perfectly. I was going to post more gifs, because I never post gifs, but it's really a lot of effort to look those up and link them!

Yeah I tried to hide somewhat at least. I signed up with "the pronouns by which my character identifies" and then did all lower case and no pretyped posts. I knew that probably wasn't going to be enough though, I can't hide myself that well, Monkey explained why in the thread the other day lol.

I was out the game so quickly but I think I remember you were in agreement that boo should have been the day 1 vote

Yeah, but for the wrong reasons, I was buying into the conspiracy theory about him lying about being new. I think I just thought that would be a cool thing for a player to try so I wanted it to be true. He's doing a great job as the arsonist! Maybe he can win with town..

There are only like 10 regular female players, so I went straight to signing up with he/him XD. My main goal in this game was not to be discovered. I didn't know you until somebody said it, though! You were just Cat to me.

Yeah, I didn't believe he was new. He's done great, far more confident than I was my first game which is why I thought he was lying.

…yeah actually, Hawthorn makes perfect sense now lmao

Even changing all that, your astuteness and detail orientation still came through in your posts.

Yeah, I was surprised it was you when I saw and was laughing when you showed up and pretended to guess someone else was you. Thought the post about switching to rooting for scum would tip people off though lol. You did a really good job at hiding yourself!

Now you mention that post it did register at the time, huh that sounds like Hawthorn... who else loves scum?

One weird thing is that I thought maybe San Fran was you for a bit. Can't remember why, just a feeling.
im flattered absolutely disgusting

I will shamefully admit that even though I thought to myself “that’s such a hawthorn thing to say”, I couldn’t look past the pronouns to get there.
 
Good effort Ephi, unfortunately jman is going to back whatever scum decides and I don't think wee will change her mind. Maybe the two snows and kook will see sense and realise alien's meltdown was clearly town and anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool.

What’s worse is that if we don’t kill him, tomorrow we do this again. And the next day, until the game ends, unless we catch all the scum first and fund out that way. But we have one power here and it’s just the power of the flip.

I’m not here to handhold people. I’m sorry mafia sucks. It sucks all the time and we are all masochists. But I’m not letting someone slide as a charity because THAT IS HOW WE LOSE. Alien has kept himself firmly in a scum position all game. if he wants to not be there, he should be helping us find scum. Is he?

I have a really hard time thinking that you are reading the game with an eye toward solving if you have read today and come out of it with the notion that Boo is a better flip than Alien. Or that Alien only leads to Boo. How many scum are left? Maybe Alien is the last. He has the best connection to the scum we have flipped besides Kook.

Why are you so convinced? Remove the demotivating and emotion in Alien’s posts- why?

So no, in short, you are wrong about the source of my demotivation. I am demotivated when I feel like I must get rid of a question mark who insists they are town and yet lifts nary a finger to do anything but act scum.

We simply have to kill Alien imo.

I believe they are truthfully disinterested and not having fun however not having fun doesn't mean your not scum.

To be fair, Geno did kind of react in a similar way when he was close to getting voted off, to the point where I was starting to feel seriously guilty for pushing him so hard. Neon's doing some good analysis of Alien's posts though, I think they're getting there.

I don't say Ephi and HP because I'm not 100% sure. I'd love it if there were more identity hiccups. My ideal scenario as a spectator would be two players claiming the same era username. That would be so much fun to see.

I don't think the geno and alien situations are comparable.

All this pressure came from alien expressing concern that maybe they were voting out quiet town like ghost bear. It only works as scum if you believe he genuinely thought he could change the votes on woodsman by getting people to think he was quiet town, which was never gonna happen, it would be an absurd move by scum. The fact alien got so nervous about it should show precisely why he is town.

Yeah, I was thinking more about his posts today. You're right that his nerves at the end of yesterday should be pointing in a town direction. I think they might get there, the problem is Neon needs to have a strong alternative wagon to push, but there really isn't one-- scum and the arsonist are both well hidden

Yep, its annoying because yesterday pazzo and san were both under pressure, now with all the attention on alien, all that's just gone.
 
Jmans just parroting whatever monkey feeds him. This is sad.

Of course monkey wants to vote out kook before alien now if possible since kook is more likely to cause her problems later on.

Jman out there thinking he and monkey are the town core. Its sad to see.
I've been exactly where he is more than once, and it is rough to watch. Believing that Monkey is Scum can be a hard pill to swallow, especially when you're in her good graces and your reads seem to be lining up with her. She's a master at pocketing.

I honestly believe that if Monkey hasn't handed Town a Scum player on a silver platter single handedly by the end of D3, she should always be voted out.

Wise words from the president of the Scum Monkey support group.

I actually don't think Monkey is all that hard to read. If she's hanging in there being real loud deep in the game she's probably scum* my main issue is that I don't trust other people that are around deep in the game to kill Monkey lol.

*Only exception to this is if Nat is in the game. Nat will absolutely keep Monkey around if he's scum.
