DO NOT VOTE, voting is the last thing we need to do coming out of the gate, we need to talk this out because if Cat is Town and you are Town then you are going to cost us the game.

Yog's let me say again, you have this all wrong. I still can not for the life of me figure out why you were doing this and had it so wrong about me, and I fully admit I had it wrong about you also, but if you truly think I am one to try and win this game by an election if I was scum then you don't know my as well as you think, because if I were scum there's no way I would play it that way. We can beat this argument to death once this is over because that is not where our focus needs to be.

I still think Cat is Town, she has been the only person I have seen that way all game. She has been putting herself out there since Day 1, and I don't think scum have been doing that. I think scum have been staying low and out of the picture. That is another reason I was concerned about you too.

You have this thing where you think because people didn't vote me that makes them Town, and I don't see how that works because I think it's highly likely there are at least one or two scum there., mainly joppo. Go back and ISO him and tell me you don't get scum vibes from his posts, he is too agreeable and acting like he's hunting when I think really he is trying to hide in plain sight.

I don't think I would have switched last minute to Flocke because I wasn't set on them being scum. I would have switched to joppo if not yog's yesterday.

this is the point in every mafia game where I say:

"Yeah, but... some of you have to be mafia.... and you're lying about it."

Okay. So far I see the investigation candidates are me and.... we'll just let scum team decide.

If we're going with me, can I cast the final vote on myself? Pretty please with cats on top.

Gotta admit, Lift got a chuckle out of me by describing Yog as the embodiment of Sloth. Then again, it's even part of his name. It just couldn't be anyone else.

Looking at my list from yesterday, not much has changed. I'm gonna settle on two players I am somewhat confident are townies: Flocke and bucktooth. Mchack has taken the opposite path, it's already been too many times he advocated for the lynch of a townie. I see him as the most likely to be scum by now.

Which leaves the rest of the scumteam as 2 out of these three: Pooka, Catventurer and Trent. The fact that Flocke's vote is standing for 9 hours now and there hasn't been a quickhammer is telling. Catventurer takes the lead for me.

Sorry, I don't get it. How exactly are you "somewhat confident" that bucktooth is a townie while I'm most likely scum? He voted with me each time. I even made some joke about it, how bucktooth seems to be on any wagon that's big enough, but since it was always a wagon that I was on as well, I never minded much. But it is weird.

Also, as for flocke, well there is the option that flocke is scum and as such, there can't be a quickhammer unless at least one town votes with them. Which is why:

Please don't. Say you are town and all three scum vote on you. Still no problem, game goes on. You cast the final vote on yourself? game-over, scum wins.

JFC stop being such a whiny drama queen. Nobody should have to beg you to play. You can dish it out, but you sure can't take it. You've voted to yeet half the people in the game.

You've got no problem making snarky posts to cast shade at people and then vote them out... who then flip town. You can suck it up and play the game you signed up for. If you're Town, start trying to solve the game.

If you're mafia, play for your team.

Either way, stop with the self-pity.

I just want to be the first to congratulate scum team on their win.
That can't happen if you all pile on me while I'm asleep, then Lift posts the results.

Just give me this one thing.
I'm not asking for much here. Okay.

You completely misunderstand. I am not whining or complaining.
I 100% accept and agree with myself being the only investigation option.

You should reread post 414, especially the bolded word. Then ask yourself why I bolded it.

Seeing that scum have not won the game yet I am guessing I was right in my old gut feelings about scene flocke being scum. Townies, you wanting to win? Maybe vote for scene flocke or flocke scene. Just be getting it done right!

This entire posting seems too try hard. What could you be hiding? Are you one of the scums?

Now I wonder if scums would 'throwing us a bone' like this by giving us such a clue.

Okay so I show up today and I find two interesting things!

1. Flocke immediately votes Catventurer right out of the gate as if she hasn't heard of the phenomenon known as "quick hammering".
2. Catventurer wants to be voted out of the game so badly.

1 is IMO the most interesting thing here this phase because not only did Flocke invite scum to quick hammer with her, but also scum... didn't actually quick hammer? In all these hours? I find that hard to believe.

Unless... one of Catventurer or Flocke is already scum.

On one hand, Catventurer's increased frustration as she puts more effort into the game but still ends up under scrutiny, and now what appears to be severe pressure to the point of wanting to self-vote herself out of the game might mean she's scum. I mean, I've seen Scum Catventurer before, and she really, really, really hates being scum.

But that would be too easy of a guess, wouldn't it be?

Yes, yes it would be. Because Catventurer has been a strong player from the start and has persisted throughout the game, doing above and beyond what everyone else has been doing in the game, scum included. If she was scum, she could have easily blended in the background and let a more experienced scum mate take both the lead and the fall for her. So I have a hard time believing this is Scum Catventurer, even if her frustration is worse than the last time I have seen an actual Scum Catventurer. If she is scum, she's still in a position where she neither needs to be this invested into the game nor as frustrated as she is - her two scumbuddies can and would have done the heavy lifting.

That means the real deal here is Flocke. From the get-go, as scene, he's taken something I said out of its context, twisting it to make it look like something else for his own nefarious purposes, or so it appeared at the time. If Scene had talked it out more with me, I'd have been more willing to believe it was Town-on-Town violence like some people were proposing at the time.

But as the game goes on with him being replaced with Flocke, she feels even more nefarious than the original scene! Quite an achievement if you ask me. I don't know, but the general vibe of her is just ever so off, couple that with her jumping from myself early on to Catventurer as of late during the previous phase. Of course, if Catventurer is Town, she would be the prime takedown target for scum as things have been shaky ground for Cat Savior, so it would've been easier to take her out there.

Of course the yogsloth wagon emerging out of nowhere was a gift to scum and I can't believe we just walked right into it again. It's interesting that at the time, it appeared as if I had the final say on whether we yeet the sloth or let the Reformer Accuser do the accusing. I just double checked to see the final vote results for the previous phase and... look at that.

Flocke. Was the only vote on Catventurer, while almost everyone else piled on yogsloth. Was she distancing from her fellow scum?

I've always been serious about my scumread of scene and now Flocke. Now, the question presents itself. Are you guys actually serious about taking down some scum? If we vote just one scum out of the Conclave, they have to deal with two more phases, but now in a weaker position than before, it'll be much easier to hunt the other two if we vote out just one today. But if we vote a Catholic out, we lose. Let's not botch this up.
