I'm not receptive to role fishing, but more than that it's true so *shrug. I disagree that Sorian made the game so bastard he would only give Zipped BP though.
You'll have to forgive me if I think your reluctance to divulge info when zipped is calling you out to be scummy. :x

The only argument against Melon being scum is "No way scum would try something like that".

Her only defense against anything is "I couldn't claim".

If we lynch her and she is telling the truth, we lose nothing, since she used her power.
If we lynch her and she is scum. We can look at the no lynch bandwagon for the event.

Well, I'll disagree on one of these points - we lose a player if she's town, and players are worth more than their roles.

Lol wait so he was spot on so you spent the last however long calling him a liar for what reason exactly?

I've proven my reasoning on why I think she may be scum.

What are others reasoning on why she is town, other than she claimed gladiator, which she could be lying about.
 
It feels nice to be justified in my early Rynam vote and my Rynam ITA. I don't care if he was basically the low-hanging fruit of the scum team due to his inactivity; I just can't believe I managed to get something right on Day 1. =D

Okay, so Verelios isn't a power reflecter, and actually is a role blocker, then?

I actually do think it's likely we have some roles doubled up amongst all of us, so that doesn't seem too unlikely to me.

Bad luck on zip's part to find just the role that he'd find suspicious enough to call out, if he is town.

So is she a scum Gladiator that pushed for a gambit with her scummate or is she lying scum that isn’t even a Gladiator? Your theory doesn’t exactly work well with one of these (well, or both of them but one it really doesn’t work with).
 

Natiko

Obviously because I know I'm a role cop, and the words Zipped used+BP make me think he's not a RC but a JOAT.
So he’s a JOAT that used multiple things in one night? Because inherent 1-shot BP plus a JOAT doesn’t even make sense unless it’s a neutral.

Not sure if typo or just not paying attention.
 
There's no way we have 2 role cops. Considering from my experience role cops are usually scum. We now have to lynch 1 or the other.

This is actually a fair question. She called the TD but didn't actually vote for Splinter at all; she did eventually vote no lynch as you said. In fact, she hasn't cast a "real" vote at all, just pressure votes and the first Splinter vote before the event. She's posted a lot but much of it hasn't particularly moved the game; in fact I'd say she's stalled it at least twice, but that isn't inherently scummy. It's not pro-town but it happens, so that may be NAI. And as much as I liked Splinter's read on her entrance into the game and general demeanor, that's a bit shot since he was scum.

On the other side, I find Swamped generally shady so far and her jumping onto your vote is odd, especially since it was early in your push.

But I also find it weird that scum would TD with scum, even if it ended in No Lynch. I can see a world in which she could be neutral. It is unusual for scum+scum to focus on each other so much in thread, and they have that relationship and do this already, in other games, so it didn't feel forced or that there was another layer with it.

Generally, for me, it is inconclusive, so I don't think she would be my target today. Where do you look if you remove her from the equation? Do you have any other targets or are they dependent here (looking at the votes, etc., as you said.

sigh

remember, Geno, in your game, all the times people said "there's no way we have x!!"? and how often they were wrong?

anyway, I expect they will be prime ITA targets so it will probably resolve before the lynch, unless everyone misses.

Because it doesn’t actually help them. Look, both were already mostly town read. So why kick off the TD?

“But, but what if she really did have to use it?”

Okay, then why does she use it on a scummate?

“Well, it gives them town cred..”

They already had that.

“But they get more.”

If they’re that desperate to be town read then why not bus Melon since her ability is now useless in your own words? I mean damn that kicked D2 off ready to duel. If scum is that insistent on killing each other why drag it out? Why not make it more convincing?

This scenario doesn't make sense for town-Melon either, even if her power was only D1
 
Hey. Sorry I've been away.
You can only get hot takes from me m'lady

and I knew Rynam was scum by the way people were reacting to him


Can you explain this? Are you saying the way town reacted to him or other scum?


Also am I being blind is there a schedule for ITA?


I see now melon is taking claim for the thunderdome? I thought gladiators enter the thunderdome as well?


Skimmed half of today's activity.. how do you guys manage to work and put in so much into this game? Really impressive.

I have never played a game with melon so I have no idea if she's really scum or not

but a really scummy melon sounds nasty. Is there odor to it? is it dank?

this isn't really tracking to me. i mean getting nk'd is always a possibility...
Seems to me that what he's saying is he doesn't have BP and since Zipped claims he does, he feels there's a lie somewhere.

Doesn't really prove alignment for either of them either way but it's how I read it.

I'm still not seeing a scenario where someone rolls RC and inherent BP
Not impossible in a game with shots flying around.

The interesting thing for me is - let's assume they both actually are role cops and one has BP. Which one is more likely to have it?

I can potentially see a scenario in which mafia rolecop Zipped happened to check Vere and see that HE was a rolecop and pulled this. That would be something.

I can also see town RC having BP to help them last longer.

One could be a neutral.

All I do know is that the ITA is gonna be a time.
 

Natiko

Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
All these people checking in without even a vague idea of the happenings in this game. You’re killing me.
 
So plan is shoot Vere with ITA. Lynch Zipped if Vere flips scum correct? Opposite doesn't lead us anywhere since Zipped has BP.

Town Melon probably does it for fun without caring too much
This is what holds me up - town melon is probably also light on early scum hunting. So I can see town melon in her actions. It’s just not a great argument.

It was a stupid mistake. I saw Sorian pinged me and thought I was missing the event, and when I got in saw that I was supposed to choose the same name that three people did.

I mistakenly thought it was referring to the part 1 blind votes, scrolled up to see who's participating, saw a spoiler for votes, saw Blade had 9, knew I didn't vote him so I chose him. I panicked, even though I wasn't sure if there was a time limit. But when I voted I scrolled up, was confused and then kind of mortified.

So, it was genuinely a fuck up. I didn't want a penalty.
How does all this (Vere responding to zipped here) look in light of the scum flips and the Zipped/Vere situation?

Does scumVere act in the event as he does?

Does scumZipped check him after this?

There are more questions but I’m gonna nap until the ITA.
 
So just looked back
Others can chime in, but from my perspective, Rynam was acting hostile and scummy and others caught on and he got got


That description fits @Kawl pretty close as well. What are your thoughts on him?



Also I haven't had a chance to do thorough reads so won't be here for this ITA. Will have my Shoot/protect/kill ready before tomorrows ITA.

So you have nothing of substance. Just your opinion on how you read them as town?

You were among the first to vote no lynch and plant seeds that it was rng and two townies

This is in response to Geno calling out supposed townies about going for a no lynch in the TD.

The difference is in a normal lynch I get to pick between people I scum read. I re-read both Melon and Splinter and still came away leaning town on both just as before. Given they’re some of my few town reads and that we’ll be lucky if I wake back up before this whole shebang ends I’m going to

[highliht]VOTE: No Lynch[/highlight]

At least this way I’m leaving a record of my thoughts instead of just doing nothing. If I wake up early I’ll try and sprint read through any new messages in case actual discussion around this event happens that changes my mind. Otherwise I feel comfortable leaving it at this since I doubt Sorian rigged the game which means this is probably an RNG thunderdome between two townies. Night folks.

Scum Gladiator puts herself and scummate in TD at a time when scum team can push to no lynch. You would be part of that no lynch scum team as well possibly.

Regardless of how they were being read b4 the td. A number of players basically 100% town read them based on how the event played out. You can never have too many town points.

More town points via a risky stratagem is more the point. Why do anything when things are already in a decent spot for both of em
 

Apollo

Kill verelios before Zip, especially if Zip really is BP so that we can verify without having to hit twice. It makes the most sense.

The melon is a scum gladiator theory seems like a real stretch. IMO there are much better and much less risky ways to get town points without hoping for the scum team to rally a 50 player game to no lynch.

Again, your theory is that they did it for bonus town points past what they had. If so, why not go for the full bus? That’s even more town points! Why do they go into the ITAs today ready to shoot each other when if they had this master plan you’ve cooked up they could’ve just done it during the TD?

Maybe they felt so confident they could control it? They were/are the most vocal and can lead convo.

If this happened in the middle of the day when it was less likely to be manipulated by coordinated mafia shenanigans then I would feel better about it. But at that hour and the no lynch so easily goin that way with both Splint and Melon both working towards a no lynch. I dont buy it.

Why bus wn your not forced to? Saying they will ita each other and doing are two different things. Who says they would actually follow thru on the ita?
Why would they shoot each other if they both just saved each other in the TD?
Why would melon say she will shoot Splint when she had a good chance of lynching him?
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
Just had a catch-up of the last few hours. Agreed that I think we're going to need a Vere or Zipped flip at this rate to sort out the deadlock. I'm hoping that this isn't a town vs. town situation, but it looks like we'll be needing some answers either way.

Regarding Ezekel and Melon - I concede that there's an outside chance that scum really could have been willing to risk bussing a JOAT to make the survivor look more credible, but it still seems a bit of a push to me at the moment. Perhaps one to come back to if more information comes to light, but all I'm seeing at the moment is more WIFOM than an off-license.
 
Had some questions you two skipped over
@Geno Geno
@Zippedpinhead Zipped


sigh

remember, Geno, in your game, all the times people said "there's no way we have x!!"? and how often they were wrong?

anyway, I expect they will be prime ITA targets so it will probably resolve before the lynch, unless everyone misses.
Yeah I don't get why Geno of all people would try to claim that. This game is over double the size of his game. Relying on role meta to the point where you shut down any alternative is just being too presumptuous.

Though on the other side, cocky-feeling himself Geno is more likely to be town than scum.

@Nomad Sparkster Jokes don't work when you're the only one laughing. We're halfway through Day 2 already. Please try to do something, my guy.

And are we gonna get a mod bump on @SalvaPot or what

@melonrabbit @Splinter

What happened to let's lets no lynch, there is no point in this thunderdome?

I chose this.
Melon implies she DIDNT do the TD.

She says she can't claim and can outright deny causing it. But why does she go out of her say to imply she didnt choose the td. She couldve ignored this.

@Natiko is this what you mean about them saying they were gonna shoot each other?
Also, @Splinter started it.

And if he shoots, I shoot.
You don't find it convenient that when they can guarantee one or the other dies in the TD they both stay away from it. Then afterwards they are at each other again vowing to take a shot?

That’s why all the revealed scum so far were on the no lynch vote right? If Melon is scum and pulled off this amazing maneuver, why bother to claim at all? What benefit would it serve when instead she could leave it unsaid and thus leaving more confusion amongst town which leads to easier mislynches?

Why claim? - Cuz she thought it would kill the discussion and she would be read as 100% town.

Why didnt melon do it then?

She posted a gif before me when the ita started. Their "duel" doesnt even make sense anyway with you dying instanly if the shot hit. So how would they shoot each other.

Melon on Splinter death:
#hubris

I will never forgive you for missing our duel.
Zekeeeeee, you stole me shot.
Wanted to personally get the kill, glad we got it overall.
She didnt even attempt to kill Splint, but someone want the kill so bad? Why not take advantage when you had the opportunity? And if you scum read Splint, why give him the chance to kill you first?

She wanted to personally kill Splint? She had him on a platter in the TD and turned away.

You are unprepared for the day Splints and I end up as scummates.
