Sorry, Tubba. I legit thought Tom was the watcher, had gotten a non-result on someone else, and was risking things trying to spin it into getting Shadow to confess.
HOLY CROW, we only scraped this win out by the skin of our teeth because the watcher was late to the D2 party.
Really good job, Rhand, at sussing KCC so quickly and figuring the game out.
Shadow, really good job to you, too. Sorta frustrating to get that initial scum read because I wasn't active over the weekend, but them's the breaks, I guess.
KJ, I was way impressed that you called me out on Silver Rage (which I got caught on once before, but it had been a while, so I forgot). This wasn't quite the same, as you mentioned, but I think you correctly connected the dots. (I was aiming for a joking tone, but obviously it didn't come off as such.)
This was a fun game, and I'm not sure where people who recently said micros don't feel like mafia are coming from. It very much felt like mafia. Would welcome a conversation about why people feel that way.
@Cantrip & Tom, sell me on Shadow. I don’t see the solving I’d expect, but nothing screams scum at me. Why you want him so bad?
I seriously don't expect anyone to feel as strongly about this as I do, because I don't think anyone has the history I've had with Shadow. He and I almost always try to figure each other out, early on, and usually with quite a bit of fun. This game he just...didn't. He default rubbish-binned me.
I am celebrating my own birthday, so probably not on for deadline.
I’m starting to think I’m wrong about KCC and Cantrip seems to be in his town meta, so I am wrong about someone else.
Not KJ for sure, and I think my vote on tubba is in the right place.
I hope to see tomorrow to re-evaluate. I have people over for my birthday, so can’t do it now.
Ok, compare his posts here (especially before I pressured him to vote me) with some of his early posts to me in Secret Agent (which I believe was the last game we were both town in):
Random hottake: Cantrip is intentionally trying to play in a feisty manner to mask his alignment from the likes of myself/Tom. Which, scum!cantrip would obviously feel the need to do, but town!cantrip may also attempt it for the sake of it.
@cantrip: because [masking your alignment as town] will work better for your overall gameplay in the long run? Do you not think like that?
That game he's trying to get into my head. Here, he didn't even start off thinking I was scum; I was just his default.
I have a pretty strong town lean on Tom, not as strong as on you, but I think scum!Tom is generally more assertive and wants to command the thread, and here he almost feels lost.
You said you thought Rhand was questionable because of the way he's attacked KCC; what are your thoughts on Rhand's last post where he says KCC and I are feeling more town?
Town!Shadow is inquisitive, active, solvey. He's shown a little of that toDay, but not on me, which is a red flag when he's saying I'm his main suspect.

Thanks, Megiddo, for being willing to run!
And thanks, KCC, for scumming with me!
Seriously.
If Shadow's scum.
Don't keep us in suspense!
Yaaaaaasssss. Please tell me you're the watcher and you caught Shadow.
I haven't reread yet, but I'm still strongly at Shadow + Tubba. I'm going to wait until everyone checks in before exerting too much effort, though.
If I get NK'd, grill Shadow and Tubba. They're my best guess.
Bah.
Also: you haven't talked to me about Shadow's approach on me. Why wasn't he trying to figure me out (if he hadn't already figured me out)?
