Jet Ski

Nah, how come when we're about to vote scum out it's always a doctor or a cop? Am I the only one that thinks it's a fake claim?

Regardless of alignment it’s scum problems now. If they’re town it makes scums decision harder tonight. If they’re scum, we’ll probably see another protection role flip and that makes it real easy. Voting them out now would be silly
 

Lifeboat

Costume
They claimed too early if it is fake imo, plenty of time to have wriggled out of this one naturally still without throwing the hail mary.

But regardless, it's very silly to vote for a claimed Doctor on D1 even if one thinks they're lying.

This is wrong TBH.

if you fake claim doctor you are doing because you want the counterclaim so you post with a couple of hours to go so that everyone has time to see and react to the claim. The counterclaim is what a fake claiming mafia wants and it is why we should not give it to them.
 

Beluga Whale

Costume
If I were to believe HB's claim then my vote is going to be between Kayak and Inflatable. They both were scum reading HB but Inflatable's insistence is more odd if knowing HB will flip town. Seeing as Kayak is in contention I'll go there for now.

Vote: Kayak
 
Vote: Yacht

Don’t have terribly strong reads RN. They looked sus when I gave them a quick ISO earlier, didn’t seem to care that much about their reads.
 

Lifeboat

Costume
I am not 100% that Houseboat is town but I think it is way more likely that they the doctor than any fake claiming nonsense. Voting them today is ridiculous.

I read through Kayak's posts and there are no town vibes at all. it is all very stilted and strained. Someone who seems flustered and argumentative about everything. it is day 1. Townies should be chill
 

Gondola

Costume
Alright, -2 with 2 hours to go is not where I wanted to be on Day 1. I will simply put my cards on the table.

I am the doctor.

I was trying to be more lowkey at the start because of this role. When my partner started getting heat I told them to play it cool. Perhaps that is why they were nervous and fumbled their explanation. Shit happens, no worries partner. You do not need to apologize or explain to me.

Do with that information as you will. I would like to live but I am still not going to vote my town reads. If you want to kill your doctor go ahead.

Why did I have to come back to this

Unvote
 

Submarine

Costume
I think Galleon and Yacht look the most sus out of the Houseboat voters to me. Yacht's vote post has a kind of bandwagony feel to it, could see myself switching there if that's the more likely wagon.
 

Submarine

Costume
One of the Kayak voices sounds better than the other to me, and I think I know who the second one is, so that kind of makes sense.

I'd vote Yacht over Kayak I think.

Vote: Kayak
1. Why are you voting for me?
2. It seems my vote was on Yacht, not HB. So why are you voting for me(who didnt have a vote on HB) isntead of Inflatable, who did have a vote on HB before the claim?
3. "inflatables insistence is more odd if they knew HB would flip town" makes no sense. Anytime scum would vote for town, they would know they are flipping a townie.
 

Yacht

Costume
Don't want to weigh in too much on the protective claim but I think I agree that waiting is the lower risk play as house should be caught scum or dead town walking.
Skiffs attempt to tie me us in to Lifeboat looks opportunistic.
Not really seeing the Kayak case just yet, seemed like the disagreement with Gondola was more a playstyle difference (find town vs hunt scum) more than anything telling.

I can see Yacht. Sheeping and some fluff in their posts. I will follow onto Yacht if that is the call.

If Yacht is mafia i would let Kayak go for a bit. What Yacht has said about Kayak and the vote from Kayak onto Yacht does not seem like they are the same alignment.

Gondola

Trying to hail my partner. Kayak is the only other account that caught my eye in a strong way today since they didn't seem to want to actually discuss their observations, but I don't think I want to follow houseboat despite the claim. If Kayak is who I think they are, the forwardness is relatively within their wheelhouse anyway and probably isn't indicative of alignment either way.

1. Why are you voting for me?
2. It seems my vote was on Yacht, not HB. So why are you voting for me(who didnt have a vote on HB) isntead of Inflatable, who did have a vote on HB before the claim?

1. Read post #443 for my thoughts on you. If HB is town that makes me look for people who either wanted an easy vote or interacted weirdly.
2. Your initial vote was on HB but you changed to Yacht later on (tbf you mentioned wanting to vote Yacht and would like to in the same post you voted HB). The initial reasoning for your HB vote, to push it to contentious territory against Sub, made little sense and seemed to be testing the waters.
3. What I mean by that is being hardline from start to finish against someone you know is going to flip town is an odd scum strategy.
@Beluga Whale There's still over an hour before eod, there is nothing stopping you from making a case on inflatable if you truly feel they are scummy.
There's nothing stopping me, true, but why do you think I feel Inflatable is more apt than you to vote? I feel that there's something there but qualified it with you being the more odd one out of the two for how you backed down quickly on HB in comparison.
 

Yacht

Costume
How much do you read Kayak as town?
I wouldn't say I have a town read on them, I shared some concerns around their vote on Houseboat not lining up well with their thoughts at the time but some of the newer stuff they are being scum read for just seems to be a playstyle thing and isn't convincing me. I definitely felt better about the push on HB earlier in the day and having delayed resolution on that slot is going to be annoying.
 

Submarine

Costume
Okay I caught up and saw HB claim doc. I was really starting to like their posts so I like 2 am more willing to believe their claim.

also makes Galleon stand out more since their vote mentioned protection…


I still don't feel good about Galleon:

As has been previously mentioned this vote was really weird:



Early vote so it could easily be explained with claiming it being a joke but:



They double down on that read. It seems so sus.

This post read that someone else wrote it and, to me, it reads like they are doing some damage control:



But then they go back to calling Houseboat slimy and tried to make connections to another players:



And super scummy:



Something similar has been brought up for Houseboat here:



I agree that Houseboat vote looks bad but Galleon's early vote and how they are now trying to justify it also seems like someone who is worried about moving their vote and also trying to create a reason for not moving it.

Right now I think that I Galleon and Houseboat feel like a good place to vote. Planning to put a vote down on one of them later, after I talk it with myself a little bit more.
Thank you for making this post as it was honestly what I was planning to do yesterday but I was too tired.

Galleon has been suspicious to me all game and I was trying to figure out why I had this gut feeling so I was planning to reread them. The posts you quoted helped me quite a bit.

the reason I feel so suspicious of them is not only their focus on HB this day phase, but how they seem to be trying to link and put suspicion on most of the players. Naturally we should be sus of everyone until we have reasons to think otherwise, but it just feels forced and like they are trying to keep suspicions up so a town core isn’t really formed.

I still want to do my own iso but I’m on mobile …

ISOing on mobile is pain :thisisfine:
And I gotta go close to day end (may be here still but have no idea honestly ) so all I can say is 100% agree
 

Submarine

Costume
My preferred is Galleon > Yacht still, but I would switch to Yacht to keep them the top wagon over almost anyone else at this point I think.
 

Submarine

Costume
:surprised: Does anyone know how to use iso each accounts posts using the vote tool on mobile/if we can?
Doesn't work for OM I don't think, I keep a separate OM tab open and use the search function on the user I want to ISO since all their posts are in here.

2. I didnt make the votes so cant comment on it
3. Scum tunneling on someone they know will flip town is not odd scum strategy, it's fairly common.

I was leaning over to show Engineer #1 what I was talking about, so you could hear me more clearly.

There, gimmick intact!
 

Lifeboat

Costume

It is interesting that neither Galleon or Yacht have moved off Houseboat. No clue what it means but it certainly is INTERESTING. Where as Kayak moved off houseboat ASAP.
 

Yacht

Costume
Yacht asks many questions but comes up with a very boring answer. Personally I'd be interested in seeing their flip due to their partial defence of Lifeboat (I think it would be rad to be right about an early game read).
Vote: Yacht
I don't like this kind of backward tying together where you vote you are creating a connection with your top scum read on instead of trying to convince others on to that scum read itself.
Vote: Skiff
 

Yacht

Costume
I'm not sure how to evaluate Galleon without looking at houseboat since that scum read has been their bread and butter this game.
 

Cruise Ship

Costume
I’d like to see more people giving their thoughts on Galleon. With houseboat out of contention (which I agree is necessary for today) I’m surprised to see galleon not getting more votes. I haven’t seen many takes on my ISO explaining why galleon is suspicious other than Submarine who agrees with me

Reading back, I can see a scum Galleon if HB is town. They seem to just really dislike HB and instead of having a reason it's like the reason follows the intention of voting for HB. I'd say that Galleon's HB read is like a more disorganized Inflatable.
 

Submarine

Costume
Personally, Houseboat's claim has just made Galleon look even more sus to me, and they've been the top of my Scum pile for like the whole day lol. Completely tunneled in on Houseboat and has made sus comments elsewhere too, it's a pretty bad looking slot compared to many others.

Kayak wagon is not taking off. I do not love Yacht but I actively dislike Kayak and Galleon so I prefer them as the vote.

Trying to give them a read through right now. I hadn't looked at them too closely this day phase because my partner had spoke to them and seemed to feel good about them so it felt better to focus on others, plus honestly they were on the houseboat vote and I thought there was something there. If houseboat is the doc, Galleon could be worth a decent punt.
 

Beluga Whale

Seems Kayak's train is dead now. Between Galleon and Yacht I'd vote for Galleon. The most I can say about Yacht is that I have no idea where their head is but they do keep poking.

Vote: Galleon
 

Submarine

This is an EoD I can get behind for sure, I'm happy with either the Galleon or Yacht flip, though Galleon is my preferred.
 

Lifeboat

Vote: Yacht

Between Galleon and Yacht I get a slightly townier vibe from Galleon but that is just big VIBES in how they have posted.

Apologies for not being here. We warned earlier about work. I expected to get more free time prior to EoD. At this point, I don't have any confidence of catching up properly. With the claim from Houseboat:

Thankfully, the Inflatable Boats discussed both Yacht and Galleon last night. Based on our back-and-forth, we feel the most comfortable here:

Vote: Yacht
 

Yacht

Costume
if you assume houseboat is town due to the claim how does that affect your read of galleon?
Tried to look back over them but don't have time for a reread on mobile. There are moments of confidence from Galleon that seem townier to me e.g asking to "prove the negative". If HB is town the odds of at least one scum on there is good and it'd probably be between duck and Galleon for me as I'm good with Gondola/Inflatable

The Bear looked at the boaties.

“Okay, so what did you talk about today?”

“Well you see it was–”


“Okay I’ve seen enough! It’s time to defeat the Loveless!”

Alas, Galleon was but a fighter for love, their life cut short.

Galleon has died!
