I mean as long as you don't get voted off today I think this is well worth the risk. The discussion keeps circling back to you and it's not going to stop. Most people see me as town already so I think it'll only help at least. If you get voted off today even after I claim then I don't think there is much we could have done regardless then.

That's true, it's becoming a distraction that scum can hide behind. Okay, claim whenever you're ready.

Feeling worse or better about monkey today? She is very focused on you today. I guess she believes that a town/scum mason pair is possible since she is very hyper focused about this.

Kind of worse. I feel like she's attempting to sew doubt in us rather than figure out the gamestate, as she asks if you think there would be two sleepwalkers in the game but seemed to miss(or didn't care to read) when you stated ambulance claimed sleepwalker D1(or D2?).

It's not solving. I noticed it yesterday when she kept going back and forth over how LP must have been bus driven and didn't understand what anyone was saying (which would help if she read the posts). I'll keep watching but it looks like she has an end result she wants to get to and is crafting responses to fit it.

I definitely think Monkey is being weird and I really don't get Fanto's vote at all. Fanto's votes have been all over the place despite people townreading her so I'm just confused at her mindset. The fact that you still have 3 votes on you is worrying to me.

Like you said, if I were scum then it makes more sense to take you out early, after the claim. And vice versa with you, me getting voted out or nked would give you major town cred as scum.

I don't see why either of us waits on it so I'm confident you're on the up&up.

Fanto's vote is an attempt to ride momentum. It looks really bad, and I'm starting to think a Monkey-Sparks-Fanto-Ephi team might be possible here.

That might have sounded weird, a lot of players get fatigue and play only one or two games a season which is great, very manageable, but I definitely feel like the weirdness here might have closed you ofg more than you would in a normal complexity game. What I'm saying is that you might enjoy a more vanilla experience to ease you in after this. And, I'm not going to lie that part of it is because I think you showed a strong early game before two teams were proposed and hope you keep playing.

I should be sure Sparks is scum. He has to be scum right? He's straight up acting like it right now, but I just don't know with Sparks and it's making me worried.

I think there's a good chance Fanto is scum. For Monkey, I still think back to N3 and Hawthorn commuting her, but I do believe it's unlikely she's a patriot. Pretty unlikely.

This is what I'm feeling right now. Looking back at Chuggs post, he was kind of throwing shade on people voting for LP and Sparks. He also made a town read with Faddy + Fanto + Jman so I'm thinking maybe he could have slipped in one of his team mates to make it look more legitimate.

LP and Fanto have both thrown reasonable doubt on Monkey being possible scum on the other team which makes me think they're leaning patriots. I'm not sure anyone else has had a big spiel on monkey being scum besides them, can you think of anyone?

Fate, Ephidel and HP are all null reads for me right now, their impact on the game has been quite muted so if they have a power role or are scum, it's hard to say.

I like Stan today and he's been doing a good job. Leo seems fine and a low priority target for Liquid since they don't have FOXDIE and he dropped his case against you so I think he's fine right now.

Monkey is kinda avoiding Faddy and Faddy really hasn't done anything since he got Zeke out, he's kind of tapered off. Koplite has literally said nothing of substance and if he's town I think he's doing a bad job

That's a good call on Sparks. It doesn't look like much in isolation but with his defense of LP it means that there's precedent. How did he react to Faddy when you read through Chuggs? And yep, it's classic scum psychology to place at least one teammate in your town list to WIFOM it after you die. Of the three, Jman flipped town, so I think Fanto being Patriots is very likely. I'm less sure of Faddy here.

LP and Fanto have both thrown reasonable doubt on Monkey being possible scum on the other team which makes me think they're leaning patriots. I'm not sure anyone else has had a big spiel on monkey being scum besides them, can you think of anyone?
Thinking...and no. Other than Nin (who flipped town) being worried and voting for her yesterday, but that wasn't really a case. It was more of an impulse. Monkey has been generally kept away from the fireml ever since D2 with Chuggs so we won't see anything like that.
Fate, Ephidel and HP are all null reads for me right now, their impact on the game has been quite muted so if they have a power role or are scum, it's hard to say.
Of these three my chain of suspicion would be Ephi->Fate->HP just based on their posts, where I'm least worried about HP. His lovers claim means that it'll sort itself out or Zipped and him act as a restraint to each other once endgame comes around.

I like Stan today and he's been doing a good job. Leo seems fine and a low priority target for Liquid since they don't have FOXDIE and he dropped his case against you so I think he's fine right now.
Yeah, I certainly think Stan has been doing well, and his case against Sparks looked showed he was excited to catch out scum. I'm comfortable feeling like he's town for now. As for Leo, well, we know there's Foxdie in the wild so he can't be a Patriot, and a case for him doesn't make sense right now unless most of us are dead and the game hasn't ended.

Monkey is kinda avoiding Faddy and Faddy really hasn't done anything since he got Zeke out, he's kind of tapered off. Koplite has literally said nothing of substance and if he's town I think he's doing a bad job
Faddy really has been more subdued ever since Zeke died. I wonder why. One mountain can't hold two tigers and all that, LP certainly said something interesting when he claimed it was weird they haven't had friction this game, even though I know 40% was misdirection, 60% must have been retaliatory to the other teamo. I don't know. Of the two I think we (town) decide to flip Faddy first since he was on Zeke's list even if Sparks flips scum, and because Monkey has a pulse on town's direction. But if it comes down to it, I think I'll lean toward voting Monkey based on if Sparks flips Patriot or Liquid. What about you?

Kopite is probably scum, I'm around 60% sure he is.

This whole day phase is confusing, majority was 10 but the vote ended before that. Fanto's power only works when someone is voted out but the game ended before that. So someone else has a day power to immediately kill and end the day? Because I don't think Fanto would vote bomb herself.

I mean Fanto has been a point of discussion lately but would Fanto ever bomb herself? Unless she discussed it with her patriot team mate after LP died as a backup plan? Bomb yourself and if it looks bad, you open wolf and then you get votes on you to kill someone. But the odds of it hitting scum seem relatively low?

Scenarios:
A) Someone had a day shot and shot Faddy or someone had a revenge mechanic and it killed Faddy later? Killing Faddy brought the vote threshold down to 8 and that's why the day ended
B) Someone had a mechanic to instantly end the vote causing Fanto to get yeet'd. Fanto self-bombed the night before and the bomb happens to hit Faddy.
C) ?? Any other scenarios

Well, A and B are it most likely. I'm just wondering WHY Fanto was in such a hurry to get voted out. Her claim was laughable and lead me to believe that she did self-bomb and want to get voted out. Did it look that way to you too or no?

I mean my only problem with her self bombing is that she relatively had no heat the day before, all of the stuff came onto her today. So unless she always played on open wolfing it'd make no sens to me.

Yep, I feel good about Stan/Zem/Hedin/Zipped/HP right now, which is a good place to start.

Less sure of Ephi, Fate, Reki (formerly Leo) in that order from most suspect to least.

Am 100% sure there is scum in Sparks/Monkey/Kop

I mean Leo/Reki visted Kalor and both are still alive, that's a good sign isn't it? I also think the fact that Leo was willing to drop his sus seems fine too. Kalor is definitely a wildcard but he hasn't really obstructed us at this point.

I don't think they do. There's too much suspicion on us to be targets and they just lost Faddy. They'll go after the lovers->Hedin->Zem->Whoever in that order.

If the lovers aren't hit then I think that would be mighty interesting.

I just don't know who I'd put on team liquid last. Who went hard with Faddy on the Zeke train? I'm also not sure if sparks ends up being on Patriots or Liquid. I feel like maybe it's more likely Patriots because team liquid had at least 4 members and I'm sure they would have coached him to talk better. I think at this point I'd rather go Koplite over Sparks.

Yep, Monkey tried very hard to discredit Zeke's list but remember that she also tried VERY hard to keep Sparks away from being voted out until just recently. When she found the first opportunity to do so, she tried to switch to me in order to 'shake things up', and then over to Fanto. Monkey is ridiculously guilty here if Sparks flips Foxhound.

Since you've played mafia before, I just have a question about the FOXHOUND team. So they have a factional kill where one member PMs to kill, so the scum decide who performs the kill and has to move. If we're under that assumption and we assume that Monkey got transported day 2, do we really think the foxhound team would send out monkey to do the factional kill? Is there a restriction that a FOXHOUND can only do one action?

I just find it hard to believe they'd probably send their best member to go for a kill, it seems very high risk when they could send someone like Koplite or Faddy.

No, it depends on the game. Some gamerunners only let you do either the factional kill or your ability, while others ket you do both. you can do the kill and your action
