I was worried with all the protect monkeys as well. I figured they would kill Kopite after they mentioned going harder on monkey, but others have picked up the slack so kopite should be safe from kill.
Scum feel pretty confident they can force the one additional mislynch they need to win.
I'm not sure though now that Faddy has pointed out Include again. If he wants to win this he needs to rally more people to his side on Monkey and especially Include, because I don't think many suspect her currently. Mafia team is discussing doing the smart thing and leaving Monkey as the lone "town leader". It could have been tempting to try and final three coin flip it with FEP and Monkey, but uh...that would have ended very poorly for them.

killing fep is bad idea imo. Would make monkey look bad. Only other public voice and still alive.
Wow, TWE's going all in on that busing strategy. I feel like this is totally unnecessary since he is already considered to be town by pretty much everyone; he's overplaying his hand.

Man blarg has really shifted into maximum nonsense overdrive hasnt he?
And town just seems to be letting him.
I mean its not like they could really stop him but like noone seems to be calling it out as the deliberate obfuscation it is.
Quite a bizarre read list, even by nin's standards, but
nin said:
Blargonaut
I think Blarg was once neutral converted into town but since he burned the ground with every single player in this game him surviving this day phase is slim. Maybe Nin will come in and drop a bomb in order to save him
I dunno about Include, noone's really looked too closely at her yet. I think when they do (especially with a couple of scum flips to consider) they'll figure her out.
Verelios: If we don't hit scum today, are you okay with dying tomorrow so our alignment cop can know if we have a switcher or not? Assuming the alignment cop doesn't die first, that would be mean we would know who is red and who is green.
I’m kinda surprised no one has figured out that there is no cop in the game. With it being this late now would’ve been the perfect time to reveal themselves to clear the air for some people, switcher or no.
(Honestly, if a townie other than Vere dies today town is in a lot of trouble, because he'll likely get lynched the next day and then the rest of the game will be MYLO.)

At this point, I have no idea how they will get TWE. He has committed to bussing all through the game and those left in the game may not be able to catch him out before it's too late for Town.

If it gets to 2v1 then town has a chance, especially if rac is still alive. I think rac is perceptive enough to think "hey, my fellow Gossiper hasn't died in a game of 25 people yet, that's really odd"; so it'd just be a matter of convincing the remaining townie (likely Chuggernaut or battousai due to them being new) to side with him.
I wonder if TWE will realize this and kill rac before it gets to that point, though. Likely NKs are him, Godfather, Vere (if Geno dies first), and Kitsunelaine.
I think it's the complete opposite, actually. I would be TALKING PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVELY IN CAPSLOCK to him for making that kind of post because things are going so well.

Wait, that wasn't an act to make your scummate seem better?
You, uh, made it very easy for other people to vote for you lol. Going super hard on Vere like that was simply too much.
EDIT: Also, I have to give props to town for being as patient with Vere as they have been; it's really hard to keep faith in someone when they give a false red-check. He could've easily been lynched Day 3. Now town has 4 chances to find the last scum.
Day 1 after replacing was a genuine push on Verelios, after Fran got lynched there was no chance but went for it, after it was obviously not going to happen I decided the best thing was to boost
TWE. Also I had a slight feeling there was no cop because it seemed overkill but trusted Kawl's bastard talk about this community, oh well probably wouldn't have claimed it anyway
If ET didn't died D2 this game would have been really different.
With no ninja flip Vere is lynched D3 without a doubt.
We were just a couple of second close to pull it off. I still don't understand why ET didn't voted Rac and tied the vote instead of calling Trigger out.
I don't like the beloved claim unless you are actually a beloved scum.. It's kinda useless because it's so easy to prove.
They just vote until majority. If the player dies he was lying. If the player is still alive they can discuss how to proceed. But town doesn't have an incentive to not try lynching the player.
To be honest I thought I was safe until I got 2 votes back to back which I didn't expect. I was in the middle of a LoL game and panicked because time was almost up, I'm not sure if any claim would've saved me at that moment.

Oh, that makes a lot more sense! I would've voted for Geno because I thought he claimed the role I posted, which is like the worst role you could possibly claim in a game like this lol.
Bastard Scum talk: Could probably have claimed Alignment Cop and claim that you got a red check on TWE for super town points.
Considering the way the game has played out, if I was one of the last two scum alive, I'd probably have gambled with that. (yes it'd be risking counter claim but at that point, I might have risked it cause "fuck yeah I'm scum as fuck")

Town has had all the resources. They’re just using them badly. The game is incredibly balanced but only a few have used their pr’s well. Melon used hers effectively, and a few others.
Like, the bodyguard didn’t submit a night action until last night. Lol.
I didn't forget or anything, I just chose not to use it at the time. My power doesn't take scum with me or anything. I just take the bullet in their place with no one really knowing for sure what happened outside of me and scum. And I'm not going to die for anyone based on my Day 1 reads. I have to actually trust them a good bit and see some purpose in keeping them around over me.
My line of thinking was that Monkey was scum and trying to set me up with those comments about Blarg the day before. But, I hadn't been active enough or really putting myself out there as much of a town voice to really stand out against her when she was so widely town-read. I try not to read into compliments as potential setup for later, but I can see that a little bit now in Include's post about me now as well. It did stand out as a little odd to me seeing as this is only my 2nd game really, but still!
I do appreciate you two setting up this game for us, and I think the balance is fine and everything, but jeez, that game was a massive headache and I'm kind of glad to be out of it now. Just the aggression, the trolly plays, all of it just made for such an exhausting experience and really killed my enthusiasm for this and future games a good bit.

I would say to you what I’ve said to a few others now which is this game is the exception, not the norm. Early on a lot of frustration got built up and it just never completely settled down. I hope you don’t let what happened in this game deter you from future ones. You did good and made some good choices with your guards. You were on the right target twice, and almost on the right one when they got the lovers.
Damn, hostility may be creeping back in. I wish they would stop using the melon/splinter lynches. They should just imagine they didn’t happen, nothing is gained by bringing them up except sidetracking town.
There once was a man named Geno
everyone thought he was pretty neato
But when the hammer came down
and he was forced out of town
They all found out he was Scum.

holy shit, i dunno if you read my chat with kits at all but the info is there
i was gonna bring up who i visited and scum probably knew who i was today, oh well
I just want someone to slap Tearable and shout "OCCAM'S RAZOR" to his face.
I have no idea why Vere didn't die. There's no chance he's going to get lynched now, and not only did scum risk their movements being tracked, Vere got a pseudo-green check on one of the most scummy players in the game (AB), making endgame a million times harder for them because now all that'll be left are the non-scummy players.

scum hasn't figured out that this game is copless, so they're spreading out kills and roleblocks to root out the cop - that's why you weren't NK'd, because they know you're not the cop
I’m super OK with Tearable being lynched today because he’s making the least amount of sense out of anyone and derailing things. There shouldn’t be an argument over Vere’s alignment at all because this idea of super long-con of bussing the switcher (an argument that was first brought up on Day 2 by a completely different person) is absolutely unfeasible.
Not to mention that Vere was not even in the running to get lynched the last Day phase, or the one before that. What exactly is the rush here to earn townie points?
Yes, which is why the alignment cop (which hasn’t been claimed by anyone yet, as opposed to the tracker) is the one that does not exist. >________>
I hope Tearable feels silly when he enters into this thread. He seriously better not cause town to lose with his extreme tunneling by making people doubt what should be two confirmed townies.
I mean why would scum even have a role like that? Have we ever had a setup with a scum role cop? Maybe I’m missing functionality on that role with scum
