Imo it is somewhat valid if one doesn't have any concrete suspicions or leans at the time, and the town players want to avoid a NL so they have a wagon/votes/posts to analyze.

I'd say this is flimsy reasoning(for why scum picked korotan), but it might actually be possible....so thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the compliment. :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, though, as i'm not scum this time.
(of course take that fwiw, naturally, as i'm not proven town)

We'll be waiting with baited breath.
(no, for seriously, make sure to let us know what you meant by this later :))

Yup, which is part of why I suspect him somewhat less than most(if not all) others atm
(of course if his actions have been a clever scum!zfr ploy, then I will tip my hat to him at the end of the game)

I mean to play joppo's advocate: when he had a chance to jump on the trent wagon he voted for me, claiming:

so its not like he had presented the idea that he found trent to be scummy. I do agree that the statement as a whole seems strange to me, however for a different(and probably ill informed) reason:

I dont see the concept of self-voting as an inherintly scum move. The only 2 instances i have experienced it were both town. So to me the idea of the self-vote making joppo swing from town/center trent to scum!trent raises more of an eyebrow than the "fool me again" comment.

Usually it's mainly(from what i've seen) scum that are more or less about to be lynched in the game that do such things.....sometimes town do it too, but it's (from my experience) more a scum thing to do.

I am quite disappointed that nobody has yet called me out for lurking. If I was scum, then you'll all have given me an easy ride to victory. Luckily for you, I'm not (you'll just have to take my word for it).

On that note, I'm calling out my fellow lurker.

Vote Micro

1. Lurking is not scum-indicative
2. You'll be eventually prodded and forced to post anyway, and then we can judge you based on what you say, so it's not like you're sleeping your way to victory :)

He would do so as scum too. Hell, I have done it in the past.

Mugsy: Maybe I will, and maybe I won't, Rabbit. :)
(The above is a looney tunes reference, in case anyone didn't get that)

Yes, I'd also would have preferred if he Trent didn't do it. In case only one scum is on his wagon right now, maybe the other one would have been forced to join in the end to seal the lynch which would have tied both of them to the crime scene. That's a lot of ifs and woulds but still. Additionally, he voted against a confirmed Townie which is a poor play in general but I suppose he was frustrated enough to decide to do it.

The only "good" part about is that in this way Trent likely narrowed down the circle of suspicion on at least one of the scums.

Either way, I still prefer to have this lynch than to have none right now.

Now that we have some leads to look at I'm more open to skip a day as it's likely going to help filter the information we have, even if it's just a bit. That said, I more inclined to do it Tomorrow rather than Today, but now that we do have something to look at I'm open to it and we should do it before the clock for it runs out.


That's the point (in my opinion, I mean) - ZFR is latching on specific wording but that post as a whole and the presented surprise and "shaking fist against the sky" like "Damn you, fooled again!!" just makes no sense in that situation. I also think it's possible it was overdone theatrics. Like a reverse start-of-the-day-post where someone opens with "Oh noes, XXX died, why oh why did they kill the towniest of Town, YE SHALL BE AVENGED BROTHER". The only thing staying my hand is that some people are still keeping quiet.

Not jumping on the leading wagon doesn't automatically mean one is not scum. We already said that it's likely one scum kept distance to remain clean. It could very well have been Joppo.

Is this just a prod or something more?


I certainly would. I don't know why Joe keeps insisting on putting weight on these things but I gave up. Well, I probably do know - because it's Joe and he tends to do stuff like that.

More of a prod at the moment, but he was on my suspect list from D1.

wow, lol. okay.
