I'm writing this after replying to these individuals but Gogtrial seems to have re-read and reposted in this thread yet has completely ignored my reply to him where I suspected him of being scum. Why no analysis there Gogtrial???
I'm pretty sure there is some Scum on my wagon.
supplementscene: I think there potentially could be 4 Scum players on my Wagon yourself included. If there is higher number of Scum they could take a high risk strategy and create wagons with their numbers. If you think about it everyone had a different reason for voting for me. Just look at the way the wagon grew at haste.
Lifthrasil: 4 scum players who are on your wagon in a coordinated fashion in a game which has a maximal scum faction size of 3... yea, right. I'll re-iterate a suggestion that you have gotten before: read the setup!
supplementscene: Are Trent and Lift Scummy voting because I didn't explain when that explanation is there? You jump on the train for (and correct me if I'm wrong) for this reason and because of saying Poppy had good analysis? Also Trent's analysis isn't at all deep but I didn't think it was in the last game where he was town.
SPF also asked about my posting style. In a prior game Lift when Scum explained 'this is his posting style'. He hasn't in this game, when if you view it, it absolutely is. Can you answer this @LIFT Is that because he's got a townee comfortably on a wagon?
Lifthrasil: Yes. I can answer that. I actually already did: I'm cutting you less slack than in the last game because you had time to learn. You even made a point of improving your game at the end of the last game. So I'm not treating you as an absolute newbie anymore and I expect better explanations from you. Also in the last game I was trying to pull you to my side by being intentionally understanding and helpful. I wanted to make you trust me and I wanted to make you mis-vote. Which succeeded. Was that mean? Yes. But as scum one has to pull all tricks to survive and buddying up to a townie who is under suspicion from others is one of the standard tricks. This time I don't know whether you're scum or town, but I wonder whether you coming to Poppy's help was support for a scum-buddy or whether you adopted the very trick I used against you in the last game. I.e. buddying up to a towny, (if Poppytek is a towny after all).
Also your reason for voting Poppy boiled down to 'I'm not sure'. That's not enough as a reason on it's own. Yes, as town one can never be sure. But you should at least have some reason to assume that your target has a higher chance of being scum than the others. Otherwise the entire game boils down to random voting. Not fun. And you weren't attacked for the reason you just quoted and bolded, but for the reason you gave with your actual vote and which you now conveniently omitted.
supplementscene: VOTE POPPY - I know I'm Town 100%. I don't know if she is so it's a better to vote on that wagon and she seems as best first day lynch as anyone.
Lifthrasil: Here you basically say (re-phrased, to make it clearer why it looks strange): 'I don't know her alignment so I might as well vote her, since there is already a wagon.' ... This reads very arbitrary, is applicable to any player (so nothing specific to her) and suggests that you vote for any wagon as long as it isn't on you.
If that was poor wording on your part which led to a misunderstanding, please clear it up. Let's turn the usual 'who is your preferred target' question around: are there any players which you definitely wouldn't lynch today? And if yes, then who and why?
Right but in my analysis a few posts prior to that I made it clear my choice was between 3 posters stating why and my change of vote was always going to be between you and Poppy. It was essentially because I thought one of you was probably Scum.
I also pointed out that IF Poppy/Vitek isn't Scum that means you very well could be. I pointed out the town/scum between you and Poppy/Vitek dynamic. That's when you changed your vote to me who was conveniently on the other wagon. Now if you are Scum you will know if Poppy/Vitek are Town, then we probably lynch you because you went after her/him first.
If you're Scum this is very smart play because you've smeared Poppy/Vitek for a lynch down the line anyway and you can get another Townee in myself right away. By not backing away from your Poppy/Vitek attack you can keep that one in the back pocket.
Would you have voted for me if there wasn't already a 3 long wagon? I find this suspicious tbh.
Also why did you not follow up Decimu saying "Hello Scums" on Post 47: 'Are you greeting your buddies with this, for some reason?'. Distancing and telling off at the same time while then ignoring it never happened? Maybe.
Decimu's reasoning for going after Poppy didn't make much sense and yours was random. Yet you become convinced
At the moment I'm going with Lift, Decimu and one other as most likely Scum buddies if there in fact just 3 of you.
But Decimu made a random comment and maybe there's 2 more on my wagon.
