    If you go T1 Neonate/T2 Looting with Grave Troll and Imp in hand, your draws look like this if you don't hit another Dredge card off the first Dredge:

    Discard Troll, Dredge 6, Draw a card, Draw two, Discard Grave Troll and Imp.

    If you go T1 Looting/T2 Neonate, your draws look like:

    Draw two, discard Grave Troll and Imp, Dredge 6, Discard Grave Troll, Dredge 6, Imp in GY T3.

    The first option is only better if there is a dredge card in the first six cards in library or if there is a Narcomoeba and Prized Amalgam in your top 6.

    I won't run the numbers (on mobile atm), but the second option presents greater consistency while the first one risks stranding you with no dredgers for your turn 2 draw with a chance of flipping almost a third of your library before your T3 (if your first Dredge 6 flips three Trolls or Imps).

    I'm not counting yours because you didn't unvote from Jobie :p

    But yeah, I don't think you're close anymore. I did say you were at L-3 but I got ninja'd by Proph., so you might have 4 now, not two, if I made a mistake just now but was right earlier.

    Last official vote count was
    Ghosting (5): Brinatoo, Prophylaxis, not_a_gimmick, Bloscovi, Silvercrys3467

    Then I moved to Seppel, Proph Unvoted, imabusinessman got on.

    So now it should be
    Ghosting (4): Brinatoo, not_a_gimmick, Bloscovi, imabusinessman

    I guess. So L-4.

    What are votes looking like right now? By my count, I'm L-3, Seppel's L-1? Maybe scum are afraid to hammer after we just caught one of their buddies?
    Unless I'm miscounting, you've only got 2 votes now (Bloscovi, imabusinessman) and Seppel's at L-2 (Hunger, Huntzilla, Mindreaver, TappingStones, Me, GJ). But I went through the votes in a bit of a hurry, so I could be wrong.

    Hey, guys - I know the deadline is soon but I'm out of commission for at least a few days. I pulled my lower back muscles something fiercely, so moving out of bed to get to my laptop is NOT an option until this resolves itself.

    Sorry for any delay that may result from this - I'll prod Matowar, though.
    Don't worry about us, we'll be still be arguing over whether we're lynching Seppel or Ghosting on Monday at the rate we're going. :p

    Rest up, we'll be here when you get back.

    If he's on V/LA he didn't post it in thread. Well, not to my recollection any way.

    @Mod/Iso: Is Matowar77 on V/LA? If not, can you prod him? Last post was ~9 PM on the 12th

    Also, for those who may not remember or didn't read, Seppel got really mad when I suggested he might be scum. Like to the point of almost flaming. I think that's yet another indication of his alignment, as I pointed out back then. He consistently has responded pretty negatively to any suggestions he could be scum.

    Also, the nonstop back and forth votes. I could see this as Seppel trying to be as confusing as possible, or so that he can't be linked to necessarily one or two people.
    If you didn't want lynched you shouldn't have gambited. Doctor is a powerful role and all, but it isn't worth getting mislynched over instead of eating the night kill. Seriously. If you had just claimed Doctor in the first place, you could have protected Mindreaver tonight and gotten us an extra vig shot tomorrow and eaten the night kill for us. Now you're at L-2 and we might waste a lynch on you for false claiming. There's also the fact that when you false claimed, you were still at like L-4 and not anywhere near in danger of actually being lynched. I'm not sure Mindreaver was considering you for the vig, either. Then, you changed claims to Doctor while you were still at L-4! Like, come on man.

    As for the whole "didn't counter claim Kraj" thing, I would have bought that you didn't counter claim him because you didn't notice he had the same name as you, or something like that. This thing about you looking into the flavor and deciding there might be two Siberian Guards reeks of scum trying to play off getting caught using the same fake claim. Although the whole "I didn't want to lose my cover by admitting I false claimed" is a thing, you ended up admitting it anyway while under the same amount of pressure as you were when you false claimed in the first place! Actually, even less pressure because the vig already shot.

    And like imabusinessman said, there's no guarantee that there even is a Doctor this game. Especially if Seppel and Hunger are both town (somehow), they can pass their items and act as a psuedo Doctor that way.

    So, yeah. Sorry if you're town, man, but really.

    @TappingStones:
    I'm fine with Seppel or Ghosting today. Ghosting made his own bed here, and there will never be a better case than the one on him right now unless someone he's been buddying with flips scum or something. I think asking to confirm Seppel's claim is fair, and I won't hold you responsible for Ghosting if he flips scum.

    Unvote
    Vote: Seppel


    I will strongly consider hammering Ghosting if he gets enough votes because it will help me confirm Atog's alignment on top of everything else, so don't run him up to L-1 unless you want him dead (He's currently at L-3).

    Jobie/Atog is probably not on the scum team and I will claim to prove it if he somehow gets run up.

    I mean, there's a chance he's fooled me if scum got fake claims or something, but we won't know that unless we lynch Ghosting. If Ghosting flips scum he tried to use the same fake claim as Kraj and got caught red handed. I'll have to reevaluate Atog at that point because Iso might be screwing with me.

    @Silver Why is it that Proph and Blos get an auto clearance with you even though their play has been so scummy this game?

    I'm genuinely curious. It's like some of you have decided they get an auto win if they are scum. No one here can say that Proph has done anything to clear himself as town and Blos has been blatantly trying to push Ghosting without a case against him. This is looking like it might be one of those games where I have to painfully watch us lose because no one is willing to question why they town cleared people.
    They aren't "auto-cleared," the only people with that (dubious?) honor at the moment are Atog and Mindreaver.

    With Bloscovi, it's just a feeling I got from the back-and-forths we've had since I replaced in. His case on Ghosting doesn't meet your approval, I know, but I think it's town-on-town at worst. I don't think he was hard bussing him.

    Proph is a bit... I don't know. I've been waffling on moving him to lean town or null, but ultimately he just doesn't seem scummy to me. I mean, he seems like less likely scum than the players I have lean town or null. I could be wrong! I absolutely could be. Could be wrong on Blos as well.

    So, yeah. I don't have a solid town tell on either of them. I suppose I could do PBPAs on them to show you what I think their mindset is at each point, but ultimately neither of them are in danger of being lynched at the moment and I don't see the point in exerting that much effort when I've already made up my mind to not vote them at the moment. I'll be rechecking all alignments D2 after the lynch + night kills for interactions if that makes you feel better.

    Ultimately the only people I'm dead set against lynching are Atog and Mindreaver. Everyone else is fair game based on interactions and behavior.

    If Blos and Proph have been playing scummy, feel free to make a case. To this point it is extremely scattered (I just went through the most recent half of your iso to see if you ever laid it out) and sometimes you waffle on Proph and wonder what it means for Blos's alignment if Ghosting flips scum, stuff like that. If you want Blos to be the lynch, tell us why his play is scummy, don't just point out that it is. Maybe you're seeing things no one else is. But I think we have two wagons already and you'll probably have a hard time making him the lynch over Ghosting or Seppel.

    So why are you voting Jobie?


    I thought I took my vote of Jobie/Atog a while ago, however, I am absolutely on board with lynching Seppel (and have been for a while).

    Vote Seppel.

    From my POV, anyway. :p
    You might want to unvote and revote, Ghosting, last vote count has you on Atog still.

    Yep, I do think it's between those two. I'd just rather play the odds on Seppel. There is no consequence for being wrong (other than a missed chance to lynch), whereas if we're wrong on ghosting, we just killed a doctor.

    And if ghosting has pulled the wool over my eyes, it's going to be pretty obvious overnight.
    If he's scum, he helps control the kill. They kill anyone other than you, then he can go "oh, I saved you but they killed someone else lol." He can't be trusted unless he flips.

    If he's the doctor, it's unfortunate but he did it to himself by false claiming.

    Or he scum slipped and IMAB caught him admitting the scum got fake claims.

    There's also the little thing where everyone else with power roles has claimed a character name. Nothing about any of his claims lines up except that he's claiming whatever he can to get out of the lynch.

    But I'll lynch either of them, the cases are both good. At this point, I think they're scum together, and Seppel was one of the people town clearing Ghosting based on meta.

    Not Seppel, I wouldn't blame Brinatoo for leading us to a Ghosting lynch if Ghosting flips town. Seppel is still highly suspicious and if he doesn't pass his item I want him lynched tomorrow.

    I would still support the Seppel wagon today but Ghosting has botched every claim he's made this game. It's incredibly difficult to figure out what's going on when we're catching him in something new every other page. I'd rather just... not deal with it. If he's the doctor, he shouldn't have gambited.

    Ultimately, I'd lynch either of them. My vote's on Ghosting right now, partly because Seppel is V/LA so my vote puts no pressure on him.

    @Bloscovi:
    Is there a chance the town wagons are split on scum and the scum are on Atog since he seemed like an easy lynch?
    I mean, obviously there is a chance, but is it likely?

    Whoops. I ninja'd the mod.

    Problem with coordinating with Seppel is one, he's probably pissed at us and two, he's V/LA until the deadline. I'd be willing to let him live to pass (on probably N2), I guess, but I don't know who to lynch in the mean time. Maybe Brinatoo if Ghosting flips town, but I can't honestly say I blame him.

    EBWODP: Though, it looks like Ghosting might be back on the menu... No

    @Ghosting:
    Seppel can wait until tomorrow. Your very existence is a pain in the ass because we'll never know if we can trust you until you're dead.
    I hope you're scum, but I don't actually care at this point.
