I try to go on in my spare time, but that's only for a few hours in the evening. I don't know how some players can almost go all day and keep up with the chat :[
ITA plan is to sleep & be rested for work tomorrow. I'll find some other time to shoot Blarg.
Yes. Yes it does. Also Deadpool, & IIRC Deadpool was a dead player's flavor role, so we're basically 100% canon right now.

Time to go see what all the hub bub is about
I understand everyone can’t commit a ton of time to the game, but it’s at least more reassuring when a low activity player checks in somewhat consistently. I feel like we’ve gone entire days without really hearing from you.
I'm sorry, booboo. It's good to have someone you can depend on, even if they're also just you.
Y'know, if his claim is legit, this is one of the shittiest things you can do for town.

True that. I've got no excuses, so gonna try to amend that :]
As per an earlier message of yours, I think using ITA's on the other low-posters sounds like an alright idea. The ITA's are low probability, whereas lynches are more valuable if used on more active players
I don't think there's scum between us, but I have more info in knowing my own alignment so you're valid in thinking so. Personally I think he just wanted to build up credibility after Brazil pointing out how he'd been sketchy so he passed to a townie. I'm really just confused on why he prioritized not leaving connections over saving a teammate? That was an awful lot of trust that Kawl or Geno would be killed, which I guess is justifiable. There was a lot surprised reactions when I gave it to Geno and again when Geno gave it to Kawl.
It's more interesting to me that Sawneeks passed to DC, looked into there.
The reversal of reads could be notable? It does seem like a lot of the material that she was scumreading on came from d3 not d2 though, and DC wasn't really under fire or anything. Maybe DC was so cautious of creating connections because Saw had already risked passing to him as his teammate? So if he passed to Apollo it'd be a long thread of just all scum?
Well, I think using ITAs for cleaning out the low activity posters is a waste. It's way easier to bus a scum mate with a soft push or a vote here and there, but taking a shot at him means much more.
I mean, look at Ezekel town creed with his kill on Splinter. Those shots are even more telling now that we found out scum actually had a higher chance of hitting with DCPat alive.

Why are you assuming there can’t be scum in the low activity players?
Yesterday you gut read Alexem is town. Previously, you did this.
I'd really like to see a few reads from you if you have time. Hard to get a fix on you.
Okay, but we are we going to do about slots like that? Sorian is only replacing when people ask. Lynching that spot is worse, I think; it results in NO data.
So I was looking for Blade's claim on Stuart, since him being alive after NK is just as ripe for WTFery potential as Blarg's but I found these too so I wanted to ask: what changed?
Man, a lot of us didn't even notice DCPat.
Huh. Didn't think of that.
BTW, who is Dr. Monkey? Is she Heymonkey?
Yep, it's me. Hello.
Not making that assumption. I just think that establishing a status quo where ITAs are mainly used to clean low activity players will create a big smoke screen for scum to hide in.
I believe that scum were very careful with their shots till now. For example, I just checked and DCPat didn't shoot last phase, despite having 20% chance of hitting someone.
Fair point though. We get nothing out of a brief cats lynch and it would suck to have players like that in end game.
I do not disagree with you at all but we've got to do something. There's really only the two left, though: briefs and LP. Everyone else we should be able to get some kind of read on.
Man, I got confused on why there were two monkrys in the thread. 1 more monkey playing in the thread!
Yeah this makes sense. If we just use ITAs on low level players, then what's the point? We're supposed to use them on players we want to die, not people missing in action.
Natiko
Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
Yeah, Monkey already touched upon it, but I just don’t think keeping them around does us any good. And I do get that it can be easy for scum to use that as a screen, but if a user starts taking easy shots that hasn’t bothered shooting much before then that can be useful info in its own right.
other random stuff about event four I thought could be notable:
Brazil really wants DC dead, reading as town. I also thought the point he brought up against DC was good. But he was super early in the relay, so it does lose some weight.
Apollo names me and DC as who he wants dead, he's also concerned about being positively connected to his teammate. Did they talk about how to handle interactions in scumchat beforehand or something? Or maybe they both just got nervous about not being able to communicate and death happening and stuff?
Geno voted DC, I'm still leaning that Geno's town but ehh? he doesn't answer Terra when he asks why he voted DC. Hearing about that would be nice.

You wanna be in lylo with someone who may not have logged in since day 1? I don't. If they're town, scum's not gonna kill 'em.

I'm honestly tempted to shoot melon just to have Ezekel focus his efforts on other things.
Ah, you do have a good point there. The prevailing notion in that event was that Kawl was gonna be left out. That's why everyone was surprised when Kawl was the last person to be given the antidote.
okay, so... this is a mess. I have been through pages and pages and I cannot find what started the Blade discussion. Can someone find me the post? Anyone know where it is? I pick up with Gorlak and Stu going back and forth-
Granted, search fails me a lot on this site - but can we talk about what all is going on with this?
And this is why we're back to this.
And then this confirmation but there's little follow up after and it was in the middle of other things, so I feel like the conversation just got dropped by most.

Welp, he's still alive, so what now?
This too is odd, considering Blade was after Blarg at one point and shot at Extreme Tactician. You three are oddly connected.
And this is why we're back to this.
N3 deaths:
Gorlak, vanilla - but a pretty significant voice in the thread
DCPat - mafia
Zippedpinhead - town role cop, cleared and pretty well confirmed
NZJubJbut - Town ITA Nerfer. Lux claimed the kill.
Also, Lone Stranger - apparently killed by the jailer?
And then we have:
Kawl, greenchecked, apparently BP
melon, contended, apparently BP, not a likely target
Lux, claimed watcher/tracker/something, seemed confirmed
Ynnek, pretty well confirmed town but now I guess powerless?
Blargonaut, claimed armorsmith
Blade, some kind of claimed protective role
Y'all, Jubs and DCPat aside, why are Zipped and Gorlak dead? Why not Blarg, Blade, Kawl (if there was a strong kill in play)? Kawl I think has more threadpull than Ynnek, but Ynnek is also accepted as confirmed.

monkey please
the pain of being invited to a chat when you aren't allowed to talk and then get murdered in it
Betting that the jailor’s kill would’ve been a strong one to punch through the protection they give. If it killed rac’s proxy then it probably would’ve killed zipped. The two commands seen were Jail and Kill, right?
@rac
I ask you if you remember, what was the kill command used against you?
I did not see if you can go back and check.
The above based on these being the commands Lux saw. Can you confirm this so I don’t make yet another wild guess that makes me look the fool?

Event four results are really interesting with 2 dead scum in the group.
I think it’s a very town!Brazil thing to be open about his intention of killing DCPat there, despite being so soon. Only thing that could lean me towards scum was if Terra, the player he passed the vial, flipped scum too.
Other than that, I think in a event like that scum need to distance themselves unless they were already town reading themselves earlier (too lazy to check right now, but I’ll look into this later.) so Apollo and DCPat’s interactions make sense.
On Geno’s geno for DC, I think him effectively killing Apollo, a scum member that had apparently blended well into town, speaks more about his alignment.
Well, if it ends up being limited to these 2 players, then I have no qualms about it, my main thoughts apply more when we include the “kinda but not really here players” in the list like oreo, NeckToChicken, Blade and Ynnek (if he wasn’t essentially confirmed).
Kalor
Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
With the ITA phase coming up soon, trying to remove the inactives makes sense but that won't give us much information. Even if 1 of them flips scum, their interactions won't tell us much. Although I guess the fact that they don't have many interactions is itself a reason in support of it.
Yeah, I agree. Confused myself and thought that Zipped maybe still had a BP that night or something.
Though I wanna hear more from rac on this too, if possible.
Lylo = Lynch or Lose
It’s a end game status where town needs to choose right and lynch a scum member or they lose the game the subsequent night.
Read more about it here.

I am Steve Rogers.
I thought it was a misspelling od Kylo, haha.
So... who to kill? Briefs?
I'm still concerned about Blarg, but I suppose it may be better to just get the inactives out of the way for the sake of the actual game. If someone is still inactive this late then they really shouldn't be involved anymore.
Kalor
Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
If you're still concerned about Blarg you could still use your shot on him if you want. We don't need everyone wasting their shots on inactives.
Why are you still concerned? I feel like he's proven himself, despite his strange behavior.
I suppose. I guess my own shot won't be needed if everyone else is gunning for @briefs_cat and @Lone_Prodigy.
Well, I'm 0/2 in my shots so far. Let's miss again!
Like I said before, I'm uneasy about the fact that he survived the night due to how crucial his ability would be late game. Scum would be operating at 50% efficiency if all of their night targets are wearing BPs. Giving town extra days to ITA/lynch would not turn out well for them.
Did he even say who he gave a BP to last night, and has that been confirmed? I hope I simply didn't miss it...
I don't recall reading anything about who he may have given a vest too.
Of course, I'm gonna feel mighty silly if scum wanted us to think this way and therefore left Blarg to be shot in the ITA. v_v
I'm not asking for that, just if such information was already provided for today. If nothing new has been said then it'd be better to not reveal any more info.

Before ITA phase begins and independent of the ITA he attempted to make:
@EzekelRAGE and @heymonkey have been killed
Now ITA Phase Starts
@Kalor Do you still want to do the same command? Sorry for interrupting

Being happy about them being mafia before we find out their role is weird.
I wasn't happy though. I was just surprised and replied to it.
By the way, I think we've finally reached the halfway point in terms of player count.
Over 25 of us have died in 4 days. ._.
