heuristically_alone - indy? Not sure why, but if we have an indy in this game I feel it's Heury.

I'm assuming top is town and bottom is scum?

You handsome man you, join me. Also, how do you feel about Boom voting Bubbles?

Just to let you know, the deadline is 1AM here, so I will not be available right at the end. I'll try to stretch it to 11PM my time.

Moody, what's your bottom four right now?

LaserGuy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 8:52 pm Housekeeping note: this game a majority elimination. We need 8 votes to secure an elimination. If you are not voting yet, please do so in your next post. We are going to need to consolidate hard and have only ~10 hours to do iirc.

I will be around off and on until about 4 hours before deadline, but have friends over for the evening. I'll try to sneak away close to deadline to see if I need to change my vote, but don't expect any content from me beyond that. Why deadline is on a Sunday night is beyond me.

Good post by the way.

Fred, Bubbles, huery, 4th is between Bop and ahippo (I'm not 100% sold on the claim).

Fred, what's your bottom four? Can you drop a vote for us.

Did not expect to come back to this with EGW going for me hard but ok here we are

Bro cmon thats an insane all in play that simply have no reason to go for here if im scum. Im generally townread and I would not draw attention to that and force myself to bus my mates that early and over something so little. I doubt anyone would have even made note of it if I hadnt said something. Like I get how you see it being in range but seriously I had zero reason to play that up if it legit didnt catch my eye as strangely coincidental

Ill be around for deadline, I still think bubblez can go

Im willing to trust others on heury im not great reading there but he does seem to be trying to move the ball? Maybe Im just snowed. Kinda same for wam, I think him pointing out that my activity has dwindled a bit is protown

I dont think scum!EGW comes for me here like this is a particular level of paranoia and I dont think EGW would look to fake that here when there are lower hanging fruit

But yes everyone who is not voting should be voting at this point or youre kind of griefing

Then tell me. What's your read on Hippo's day play, does it line up with a town role? You felt the the wording was weird. If you believe the claim as town, explain to me how Hippo does that as a coincidence.

Makhaira wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2025 11:15 pmI agree with him that laser and boom do feel a little off but I dont think they are good plays today

I also do note that Boomfrog isn't here trying to help votes consolidate either. Thoughts on that?

I think it does line up with a relatively inexperienced player rolling the supporter role and being kind of thrown off by it and over focusing on it im terms of their play

Did boom promise to be here at a certain time or something if he did I missed it

Not really. Alright, what's your bottom four as of currently, Mak?

Are your town and scummish reads in any particular order or just grouped together who you think is town and scummish?

EGW wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 12:33 am Not really. Alright, what's your bottom four as of currently, Mak?

Bubblez, fred, laser, bessie

Heury kinda at null line, tbh bessie is too

And JC at null, just not enough from the slot

What changed with LaserGuy? Since you said they weren't a good play today alongside Boom.

The 5D chess y'all seem to think I'm capable of. Meanwhile I'm over here feeling like I'm struggling with checkers. If this is STILL about the "handshake" thing, I guarantee I'd work harder to subtly affirm a positive read on me instead of paraphrase the post DIRECTLY ABOVE. Kinda hard to miss that, reading it straight, but easy to miss that post when you forget you can get ninja'd!

For now, I'll vote: Fred to keep as much distance between myself and the rope as possible. If I went to the trouble of claiming my power D1, I'd appreciate the chance to use it.

ahippo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 5:37 amYes, good call. I'm more suspicious that Boomfrog is scum, cuz I'm exactly the kinda player you can "butter up" so to speak, so that I use my ability on them. Bessie would be perfectly fine with me dying today, and her reasons for suspecting me are pretty understandable.

Why not vote Boomfrog instead? He already has one vote.

My memory is not the best but I think it was Boomfrog that once said he doesn't vote scum partners on D1. If Bubbles flips scum, Boom wouldn't be by top consideration for D2

1. The fact that Boomfrog thinks I'm town is not damning, I just need to make sure I'm not trusting folks just cuz they call me town.
2. Now the distance between me and lynch is wider. Just math.
