Alright, I'm getting started catching up. Due to post length and the fact that I have about 140 posts to read, I'm putting this out there now. Apologies for anything already covered or disproved.

=====

I think ZFR and Joe are scum. I'm not as sure about the third (and I think there is a third), but Lift or Dogmaus are by far my favorites.

Pooka's 149 in the sign-up thread points to Macho Cop (which we've seen) and Commuter (which was claimed), but it also points to 9 Town players and 2 scum. Funny story however: I don't think Pooka ever said we're using the setup from 149 (counter-example welcome, since I'd need to revise my understanding of the situation). We're currently in a closed setup.

-ZFR's 766 is downright absurd, where he proposes 3v8vNeutral. If he truly believed Pooka's 149, then he's starting with 9 town (as listed in that post), not 8. Adding one more player to 9v2 does NOT equate to "Increase number of Scum AND lower number of Town". I don't believe ZFR would make such a mistake when starting from that premise.

Let's go back to the beginning of Day 2 when ZFR requested any Town Roleblocker to claim. There is no Town RB listed. Asking for a RB claim doesn't fit with his apparent belief in Pooka's 149, which only lists a Mafia RB. I think scum got a 3rd player, and I think they got a Godfather. No reward for guessing whom I think is the Godfather.

-I've already stated my opinion on the Commuter claim. I think it was quite the safe claim, and why would there be any expectation of it being counter-claimed? Commuter is not a strong team role, and any actual commuter would have no idea whether there is more than one commuter (after all, maybe Pooka chose a setting that could be nicknamed "Traffic Jam"). Even if it does get counter claimed, that still tells Scum where NOT to aim a shot. Add to this that Joe had to be pushed several times on whether he used his power on N1 before he answered.

-I've been periodically getting worrisome vibes from Dogmaus, with things that don't parse well, don't make sense, or look scummy. That said, I strongly read the Dog vs Cadaver spat from Day 2 as Town on Town violence. She confuses me.

-That said, Lift took the cake with his decision to actively decline claiming his alignment. I admit this surprised me more than a little, especially coming from Lift; I expected either "No, I'm Town" or "Yeah, I'm Neutral Survivor", not "I'll claim when I'm ready, and you're rolefishing!". Add in his apparent willingness to push some people about the Day 1 No Lynch vote without looking at the one person who started that wagon, and it's a bad look.

His persistence about my having gone rolefishing is also absurd.
My first "rolefishing" was simply me needling ZFR about the No Lynch. First, consider that I'm against No Lynch except in particular circumstances; newbies might not know, but any players that have been around for a while should know this about me. Next, look at what happened last game, where Town only managed a single lynch, over the course of multiple game Days, before being at MyLo. ZFR kicked off No Lynch then too. Third, consider that I show up this game to see that we're already around the half-way tipping point for an active No Lynch, and we're still below 20 posts. I add to the wagon to either get it done while minimizing the information scum can use for grooming Town (if town is suicidal again) or to get the wagon to hurry up and disband so we can play the game. Finally, consider Post 5 and Post 44; ZFR clearly doesn't believe No Lynch is the right option. I noted that, and so I poked him about the implication of his No Lynch vote as if it were more serious.

My apparent second "rolefishing" wasn't even about Lift's role; I wanted to see if he'd claim Neutral. I even gave him an out for it in the second paragraph of my Post 861. If he's Town, he just says "I'm town", and if he's neutral, then he either says "I'm town" or he can go with "Yeah, I'm neutral survivor" even if he's Neutral Something-else. Considering I directly quoted ZFR's guess about Lift being a Neutral Survivor when I first asked Lift about being a Survivor (which is specifically a Neutral(!) role), there was nothing role-fishy in my question to Lift. Unless he actively mis-steps, nothing about Town's power roles comes out from answering my question.

See above about the setup being 9v3. If Lift had claimed Neutral, then in my mind that would have secured him as the third scum.

What was the deal with my opening vote on Joe on Day 3? I thought he was scum (see above), and I was fishing for reactions.

=====

I town read Cadaver. No scum pings, several town pings.

I can't read Dedo for squat. Great for his scum game, but makes it hard to trust him when he's Town. Gratz Dedo. :(

I kind of lean Flub as Town. Again, hard to read, but I'm getting that feeling. I find his D2 hammer as NAI and just ready to move on with the game instead of dithering for another day; if he hadn't done it, then I'd have hammered GH when I finally caught up. I missed the hammer by about an hour.

I haven't seen anything from Catte to help me align him with Town or Scum. To my mind, this automatically leans him somewhat toward scum, but several people look so much worse.

Interesting notation: When I consider the D1 GH wagon and the D2 GH wagon, and if I'm right about Dog and Cadaver being TvT, then either Catte is scum or all the scum were on GH's wagon on D2. Even ignoring the case I put forward above about ZFR/Joe/Lift, I suspect that all 3 scum were on GH's wagon on D2, but not on D1.

Additional wagon notation: On D1, I noticed Joe slide on the GH wagon in a very safe 5th position where he isn't starting it and he isn't finishing it. It looked scummy.

Now, I'm off to read pages of material while you read this wall of text.
