    Oh and what was up with us being "randomly" paired lowest to highest four nights in a row? (With only one or two outliers I think.) It really was something like a 1 in 300,000 chance of us being paired lowest to highest if it was truly random.
    Well, cyth, tom and I all lied about our BP at some point or another so it didn't quite line up :p
    PS: not sure why you thought I was scummy day 1 Grin

    Plus shinichi should have made sure she was blocked night 2, but allied instead...overall I just don't see the high quality play you're describing.

    And know? Yes. Love? Maybe Smile
    If you have a guess you can PM me.

    @Az: we tried to take her out, but Axel ruined that and that made toms role claim get a little more scrutiny.
    Also, I'm a gimmick, hence the no meta. -_-

    My vote is DBS for town MVP. Great analysis, best voting record, good use of her ability. Well done.

    Scum played a very tough game also. Would have been very difficult to catch some of them without good fortune on our abilities.
    See I think (and not being a jerk) but Dawning's analysis made absolutely no sense almost ever. Her actions were great, and she had a decent voting record, but I think it was more a reverse of cftwr. Right for the wrong reasons?

    I have some thoughts for post game.

    Still think Az is a neutral.

    For the love of all things holy, kill me and put me out of this misery or kill Az; because I don't think this town is competent enough to ever lynch him and I'm hoping my flip changes that.

    get outta here with that bs.

    and u say az is scum but vote iso neato
    Literally the only way Az dies is if Iso kills him or my flip turns enough heads. I have no faith in lynching him anymore at this point, I've done everything I can.

    As far as what happened, I think it's wine and Az needs to die.

    Az. Is. Scum.

    I will not ally scum and help them get BP.

    He's not a doctor, he's not using any BP to try and "save" people, and he most certainly isn't going to suicide for us.

    You know what he neglected to mention? He betrayed me too. He's not willing to let himself die, he's played you guys like a fiddle.

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    Vote Iso

    For the love of all things holy, kill me and put me out of this misery or kill Az; because I don't think this town is competent enough to ever lynch him and I'm hoping my flip changes that.

    @Dawning: Az is not clear, and you need to get out of his pocket. Right now.
    at least he's not as bad as others atm. mind explaining to me if/and/how do scum know I would be notified of the change in targets? if they never knew about it in the first place, there's no reason to pocket me. derp
    Why wouldn't they just ask the mod? (Literally just did, Bur confirmed that using a targeted ability will return if you successfully target that person) Or if they already used an ability they should know generally what the message they got would say anyway. I'm going to go ahead and assume that scum aren't trash at this game and should have a general understanding of how to optimally play.

    Bull, I'm alive in spite of my role. And I didn't ask for an excess of BP; it does me nothing.

    Wtf even is this... stop using this elementary defense

    Shin is right, if your role wasnt what is was... then you would have been voted that day probably... just saying

    You didnt ask for excess BP, but either way I still cant get it out of my head that its weird that you have nothing that interacts with BP at all, its beyond weird, especially when literally everyone has ways to interact with their BP, be it thresholds, or the loss of... and then theres you... who just stores BP like a squirrel, it just doesn't seem real...
    If I didn't have my role then I wouldn't have been tracked to DV and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    If you're going to start mod gaming me, why are you okay with Az claiming Doctor when we have a FLIPPED TOWN DOCTOR? I didn't design this game, my lack of use for BP isn't something I can do anything about.
    Quote from Azrael »


    LW is right.

    Vote: Phoenix.

    Still waiting on an answer on the meta. Like a broken record. Just keep ignoring me. You really think I don't see behavioral issues, here?
    "You think I don't see behavior issues?" Well you did just vote me for mod gaming reasons and haven't given any reasons that you think I'm behaviorally scum, so yeah, I think you don't see behavioral issues.

    I've already said I'm not able to provide meta, continuing to push that is attempting to be angle-y. Stop. If you need me mislynched so badly to win you're still going to have to play to the spirit of the game to do it.

    @Jenna: already checked with Bur days ago, passive abilities can't be roleblocked.

    @phoenix excuse me? Have you seen yourself? Your literally alive because of your role, with about 8 bp? Why do u have that much if only to hide your actions.
    Bull, I'm alive in spite of my role. And I didn't ask for an excess of BP; it does me nothing.

    Quote from Jenna Tolaria »
    Ooh hold up again. OSIEORB ALLIED WITH PHOENIX???

    Phoenix, who allegedly has no use for BP.

    Osieorb, who didn't do anything last night.

    Phoenix and Osieorb, who both didn't claim their AB results.
    Osie and I allied each other, this was out in the open since right after the start of the day. Assuming Osie is telling the truth about not having another ability (probable) then in reality neither of us have any use for BP; he gains his spent BP back by allying.
    Quote from Azrael »
    Please don't do that. The play today is Phoenix/Tom, both on behavior and mechanics.
    Anyone saying Az is town needs to look at this, Az has been lukewarm towards me from a behavior standpoint but using mechanics to slander me. He's changing his tune and doing anything he can to push for my lynch, because as soon as he flips scum I'm no longer a potential mislynch.

    @Dawning: Az is not clear, and you need to get out of his pocket. Right now.

    @Dawning: Can you actually go and point to where you think kaba "derailed my wagon", because as far as I recall, the only time I had a wagon was after Jenna claimed but before I did. Kaba basically pushed the crap out of me until the thread had already moved away from lynching me, and only then did he change his tune.

    @Shinichi: Why are you reaching so incredibly hard to say that Az is town, but with regards to me (and tom as well) all you have to say is "well they don't have to be town" as a reason for your scum read?

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    Azreal's attack on me really doesn't make sense except from the pov that he's scum that absolutely knows his flip will clear me and he can't afford another town clear. Anyone who isn't voting Az needs to take a hard look at his behavior and either tell me why they think that comes from town or stop making excuses for him.

    Jenna is off in another dimension, and the amount of people even saying "you know she could be right and the mod is lying" is depressing. I'm not sure how this game is being punted so hard that Az is still alive and our confirmed townies are off the deep end insane.
    Quote from osieorb18 »
    A less insane and more useful look at numbers would be to just think about what the mystery abilities could cost and see who could do them based on that, accounting for the possibility of different BP game actions in games where the results are not from flip-confirmed players. You can add in people who are likely town depending on how much you trust those reads. All of this would be strictly more productive than speculation based on the idea of there being a bastard mod.
    scum will just avoid claiming use of any BP. it's hard to lie about numbers.
    I still think Phoenix should've allied while betraying you (on Night 3?), if you were his townread. there's no need to keep so much BP when his ability doesn't require anything, while yours depletes BP. why ask you to get +1 when you could get +3 instead?
    Two things here:
    1. I absolutely didn't trust Osie and I told him I would not tolerate him betraying me,
    2. He has barely any use for extra BP anyway, and he is still somehow scum, keeping him from having excess keeps his hands tied.

    (I kinda think Osie isn't scum with Az though and would be okay with him betraying should we get paired again)

    You're correct, I don't need the BP, but I also haven't been paired up in a way that actually lets me get it to my town reads.
    Quote from Shinichi »
    Quote from Azrael »
    Agreed that Tom and phoenix sitting at 8 and 10 BP is ridiculous. There have been plenty of good motivate targets theoughout, and there is no reason for Phoenix to accumulate BP, iirc.


    Not gonna lie this is pretty telling of phoenix alignment, like he has 10 bp but no use for it? I call bs to the max.

    Also thanks for your answer to my question I even more certain that you are town now.
    Excuse me?
    How is this ever even close to indicative of my alignment? I didn't ask to be paired the way I did, I would give it up if I could, but not to people I don't trust/need to be lower (dawning).

    And what on earth about Az's response to you makes you think he's town?

    that means Axel redirected you? don't see a reason for him to redirect you if you'll just hit him with a recharge he can't use. no sense in that, and we know Axel is town.
    Wait why wouldn't he be able to use it?

    Good thing for the scum that the RB was pulled off - otherwise Axel would be alive.
    I don't believe this for a second. This is a bogus attempt for Az to get clear and get out of having to use is "Doctor" ability.

    Vote Azreal
    Quote from Az »
    I'm a bit suspicious that the redirect + the targeting of Axel was meant to protect Phoenix being caught by Axel. IDK if it really would have worked as Jenna was suggesting, but they may have felt that was a threat they couldn't ignore.

    I'm still on Phoenix and Tom. And I still want an explanation from Phoenix as to why he won't provide meta. Osie as backup, but for the moment I'm inclined to bet on him just being too freakishly J on Myers Briggs.
    As for this, it's pure shade. And I don't have any meta to give you, there's no other reason than that. Trust me, if you were actually town and I could, I would give you meta, but I can't, stop using this as a crutch to call me scum.

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    Lng thinking Osie was paired with Az looks kinda like a slip that he's been faking it and is scum with Az. That's a bridge to cross another day though.

    I'm just beyond floored that Az is probably going to get away with another day. The sheer amount of absolute horrible play surrounding him (seriously, anyone townreading him right now should feel ashamed) just makes me die a bit inside.

    You know what, cyth absolutely needs to die before lylo, but Az needs to die right now. I'm not helping lynch Cyth today. If that's what people want to do, fine, but I think it's a mistake to lynch Cyth before Az.

    I'm here.
    Quote from Shinichi »
    @Phoenix Maybe but I still find ur role complete bs, and the fact that your still alive says alot. Why would az flipping scum clear you though?
    What exactly does me being alive say? I would be rather surprised to have been killed due to the amount of people who suspect/suspected me.

    Az flipping scum will prove that his bull crap push on me is bogus. I mean, if you want to say I'm bussing, go ahead but I'll point and laugh.
    Quote from Azrael »
    Vote Phoenix, unless he'd like to shoot me some meta for town/scum games.
    This is a scum post. Look at the phrasing.
    Can we please lynch Az now?
    (And no, I don't have any other games I can link)
    opportunistic associations (thankfully not hard to find):

    Phoenix-Fire
    - scumreads, but with Killjoy
    "To be clear I don't think Phoenix is the lynch today. The whole scum team is still alive and his role is too valuable if he's telling the truth. But I do think it's important to discuss it"
    "If Phoenix is indeed scum than KJ is almost definitely scum with him."
    This is kind of only part of the story, he didn't pipe up that I shouldn't be "that day's lynch" until it had been said by several other people.
