Jeez I have no clue where to vote today. Tommy’s claim has scuppered my thinking.

Somewhere between Yellow and White right now.

Bloody hell.

As for the White Ranger's comments, I voted for the Green Ranger because he was my other major scum read on Day 2. I thought his Day 1 vote was suspicious and his overall play was him trying to lay low and avoid attention.

Otherwise, I didn't really care too much which of either Trini or Jason was lynched. At the time, I didn't have a particular preference between the two, and I was content to let the players who did make that choice. We were still going off of limited information, so early in the game, after all, so I thought eithet lynch would prove enlightening. On the other hand, I still thought Green was the scummiest player in the game at the time.

As for my following Zack onto Zordon, I'm not sure what to say other than the fact that I found his case really convincing, even if Zack himself was doubting himself. Zack was thorough and presented a solid case. I respect that. There really wasn't a whole lot for me to add.

I mean, think of it like this.

If you're town, you're town when we're significantly ahead due to two nightless deaths + being down two scum. There isn't much reason to be overly defensive and panicky like your post sounded like to me.

But if you're scum? Well, then you'd have reason to be defensive and panicky...

And also...

It appears that my voting for Finster over Jason D1 is something I can’t easily shake off. Here what I want to say about that: how does that make me scum?
Click to expand...

I'm still reading over stuff, but at this point it's looking increasingly likely that there was probably at least one scum bussing Jason, so it makes sense to look at people who suspected Jason on Day 1, but didn't push through with the vote with him.

My interest in a Yellow lynch has really waned throughout this phase, even though I raise those points yesterday. I keep looking back at this post, and it feels like the towniest Zordon D4 vote after Kimberly’s.

The last line in particular only makes sense out of a scum’s mouth if either Green or Trini end up being godfathers, but that seems highly unlikely at this point.

Yellow Ranger said:
Things just got a whole lot more complicated, geez. Initial thoughts are that we have to verify Zordon’s flip, especially in light of two deathless nights and one of those days having a scum lynch. We have good momentum and are in a good place to check this out, additionally we’d get Green and Trini confirmed if this works out.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I'd seen your reasoning for picking Green Ranger, your consistency in that aspect is one of the reasons I couldn't scumread you when I made my first read on you. Similarly, you had made clear your feelings on a Jason vs Trini lynch. My question to you is why at the end of day 2 (in a Jason vs Black Ranger situation) did you leave your vote on Green Ranger, who was not going to be lynched, instead of going for Black Ranger who you had pegged as "anti-town" and leaving your less certain read of Jason to be lynched?

So, I went ahead and read up on Skull, trying to figure out why I keep blending him with Bulk.
Skull said:
Wow, never seen scum get so outplayed. So good to get a no kill night after a lynch like that.

Anyway, looking into the D2 votes now and Rita and Bulk come to mind, both for different reasons.

Rita pressed X for Jason for hours (she said she’d post some reads back at D1 already) and came through with maybe her most halfassed read in the game so far. Then pushed against his lynch for the rest of the day without actually town reading him at any moment. I’m now considering the possibility that Rita is using her fluff and flavor to pass of as a wild townie not afraid of missing, even if she ends up being dead wrong.
I mean, I feel like even if Trini flipped town others would lay off Rita due to how hard she pushed for Trini’s lynch.

“Would scum actually go in that hard on someone they know is town?”

That’s a really bold way of playing, but right now it’s definitely on my mind.
Click to expand...
I like this post because it lays out his reasoning for scum reading Rita, but like I mentioned that day, it was weird how Bulk was mentioned in passing, and then wrapped up up in a later post.

Later, Skull explains that his wariness came from Bulk sitting on Jason most of the day and then moving off before the end. When Bulk says that's just how he plays, having a vote down to express his feelings, Skull feels that's a comprehensive answer, but he'll read more into Bulk later.
Skull said:
Am I fucking paranoid to think this is a scum slip and they both posted together the idea someone had at scum chat?
Click to expand...
This is a weird thing to think. It was weird at the time, but it's doubly so with full knowledge that Black and Green Ranger both became lynch trains later, and with one of them flipped town, the other cop confirmed.
Skull said:
Would be really surprised if a 1 shot bulletproof vest is all we got protection wise, especially considering Jason’s flip.

I do think it’s possible that scum targeted Pink, who left the game and had a vest too, but I believe our doctor soaked up the kill somehow. Don’t think they’d target rac with their strongman dead though.
Click to expand...
This can read like a regular benign post or fishing for information. I'll give Skull the benefit of not being that obvious and say this was just a passing observation.
Skull said:
Did a D1 reread on Bulk, and I feel better on him. His early vote on Jason was the result of a weird back and forth after Jason ignored Bulk’s questioning of the understanding of the game mechanics. Reading it and it feels genuine, and I can’t see scum nitpicking a teammate like this so soon into the game.



The quick explanation of the vote is also in line with what he said today about his D2 vote.
Click to expand...
Hm. So Skull finally did his re-read of Bulk and understandably found him townie. We never really hear anything more on that front, which concerns me as it looks like saying the minimal necessary to cop a believable town lean.
Skull said:
That’s pretty damn good detective work Zack, great effort.

I’ll weigh in my opinion after reading it all.

Zordon - Nice to see some work into Zordon. Despite being a very strong presence so far, most have just passed by his posts. Can’t really define what’s up with his playstyle, but I feel like it’s aggressive, with a lot of questioning and proding, but still too broad to actually lead into an actual lynch, which is the perfect play for a skillful scum. Without more flips though, it’s hard to say whether Zordon pushed for the right targets other than Jason.

Zack’s post breakdown didn’t do much to me though since it presumes quite a lot on how scum works in the shadows, especially with coordination and timing.

Black Ranger - Huge blind spot for me. I town read him initially at D1, but his contributions got weird after he got called out, which is a scum tell to me. If you’re town (especially vanilla town like he inadvertently claimed) you shouldn’t change the way you play based on some criticism from other players, especially not something so banal as what happened. When I mentioned this, I didn’t care much for his response.

His being the initial push for Goldar surprisingly gives him some town points. That lynch came out of nowhere so hard that I think even scum got surprised by it.

Yellow Ranger - This might bite me in the ass later, but I have this gut town read on Yellow for quite some time. Their posts are scarce and irregular, but they are so concise and well-thought. I always find myself agreeing with them. I’d feel genuinely betrayed if they flipped scum right now.

Green Ranger - I have this nagging feeling that Green is an insanely perceptive player that is holding his punches, content with lots of sheeping and so-and-so reads so far. His vote on Jason D2 came at a critical moment, so I’ll cut some slack today, but it’s clear Green will need to be discussed later.
Click to expand...
So, Green and Black again. This makes me feel better about Skull because at least he's consistent, but at the same time leads me to believe that if Yellow flips scum he would definitely be a prime suspect.
Skull said:
Hey guys. Scum went for the zero info kill with rac and finally got it. Hard to say right now, but I think that was their second attempt at him.

People should stop even considering that Kimberly is scum and did the most risky gambit in the world. It was pointed out last phase already: if there was a “real cop” and he counter claimed, scum would’ve lost 2 players just like that. Never mind that this happened after 2 no kill nights and not all players had posted prior yet. What if White Ranger was the “real cop” and he had an actual red check? Scum would obviously wait for everyone to check in before gambiting everything like that.


Reread D3 and see how they went at each other. Rita was onto Zordon from the very beginning, and pretty aggressively at that.



Zordon flipped goon actually, so maybe they still have a tracker out there. Doubt it though, most likely it was bait for Trini.

And remember Billy was inactive even before scum lost Jason, back at D2. Don’t think that means anything alignment wise.
Click to expand...
Possibly for general reasons, but Skull seems pretty sure about Rac getting hit one of these nights and this is just the second time.
Skull said:
Yeah, I can’t get behind a vote for Billy today. Understand Bulk’s reasoning for it, but disagree wholeheartedly. We shouldn’t change our lynching method because we have an advantage, we should keep at it.

I'm ok? with Skull. He's not in the "solid town" list I posted before but I feel like he's the closest to getting there between the rest. His contributions strike me as decent and I find his posts to generally have weight to them. Regarding the posts you quoted, his initial suspicion towards black and green seems justified in context, I can see someone making that link given what those 2 said. The only eyebrow-raising thing I've really detected from Skull was early today when he said the stuff about believing something else happened on N2 to stop the kill. Seems like a weird belief and goes against my occam's razor loving self.

Uh, you’re definitely reading too much into it. It’s not like I went “holy shit what the hell do we do?” or anything.

Considering that, of course it didn’t throw me for “that much of a loop”.

It *is* odd how having just lynched a super active scum player, there was no obvious direction to follow afterwards. Are we missing something? Was Zordon's posting that careful that very little was revealed by him flipping scum?

Also, I like the present line of questioning against Yellow, that post about the red check being complicated could be a fake surprise post from a scum teammate. I can see that.

I find myself really appreciating White’s vote on Alpha, and I think I came out of it with a stronger negative impression of Alpha than even White themselves did. It’s an old read as far as I’m concerned, as well - I’ve been side-eyeing Alpha (and Yellow) ever since they moved out of Finster to make sure Goldar would happen.

I sympathize, however, with how Yellow has behaved in these last hours. I don’t think their defensiveness is a scumtell.

I think I condensed my feelings on Bulk well in my read list.

He's a pretty perceptive player, he was one of the firsts onto Jason and his vote was decisive for his lynch at D2. I liked his explanation on his own vote after I questioned it. I expected a nothing response or that he'd take it as a activity jab, but got a well rounded response.
Hmm, thinking more about it, I'm actually town reading him anyway.

Skull said:
Bulk - His vote for Jason did come at a crucial moment, swinging momentum towards his lynch. The way he sat on his vote on him for some time at the start of the day got my attention, but I liked his response and it aligned with what he had said previously. Disliked his push for Billy at the start of the phase, and how the way he brandished his own vote for Jason earlier as a semi-clear on him. That’s why I’m only leaning town on him.

If defending yourself against mislynch is something that plagues a townie, then I hope all townies get infected by said plague. This line of thinking is frankly ridiculous- defending yourself should be NAI since, scum neutral or town, you should want to survive and further your alignment’s game. I’m not going to be ashamed of defending myself, no matter how “panicky” anybody wants to paint it. I don’t give up, simple as that.

I’d really prefer to lynch Rita, but I’m willing to join the Alpha train if I must. His posts haven’t really pinged me much this game but at least his vote record is fairly poor, so it’s something.

Because I thought the Green Ranger was scum, and thought the cases against both Jason and the Black Ranger were pretty solid. I was pretty clear that Jason's posts were getting scummier and scummier.

Because I thought the Green Ranger was scum, and thought the cases against both Jason and the Black Ranger were pretty solid. I was pretty clear that Jason's posts were getting scummier and scummier. Likewise " anti-town" isn't necessarily a super-strong scum read. A member of town who is playing poorly also counts as " antitown".

Ok, so the difference between your suspicion of Black Ranger and your uncertainty over Jason wasn't enough to make you think your vote could be better served on anything other than a purely symbolic vote?

If defending yourself against mislynch is something that plagues a townie, then I hope all townies get infected by said plague. This line of thinking is frankly ridiculous- defending yourself should be NAI since, scum neutral or town, you should want to survive and further your alignment’s game. I’m not going to be ashamed of defending myself, no matter how “panicky” anybody wants to paint it. I don’t give up, simple as that.

I’d really prefer to lynch Rita, but I’m willing to join the Alpha train if I must. His posts haven’t really pinged me much this game but at least his vote record is fairly poor, so it’s something.

VOTE: Alpha 5

Hmu if you people want to lynch Rita tho

Generally you're right, but the problem is that only being defensive can be seen as guilt. I felt like BR was just exhausted by that which is why he flagged off.

Yeah, last minute gut, I don’t think yellow as scum has that outburst there, scum has been getting rocked, a swing now wouldn’t cause that reaction.
