Urist McCoder:
I think hazard and shakerag are the most likely scum. I think hazard is scum because he seems to be lurking. but I think shakerag is more likely to be scum because 4maskwolf post almost nothing. and the things that shakerag has posted has almost all been in his ic voice. It seems to me that shakerags post have had very little scum hunting, but It still looks like he is contributing a ton because he is posting in his ic voice.
Wait wait wait wait wait. You say you think H4zardZ1 is scum "because he seems to be lurking" but you just said, not very long ago, "And while I think lurking is worse , I don't necessarily think it is a scum tell". H4zardZ1 practically didn't post on D2 and that seems to be because of RL issues and he almost replaced out. D3 he seems to be not posting because he's throwing a temper tantrum (voting for yourself like he did is a strong indicator of that).
So, 1) Make up your mind about whether lurking is scummy or not.
2) 4maskwolf did replace out. Usually people who have to replace out ... tend not to post much because they have something interfering with their ability to post and participate in the game, hence why they replace out.
3) You honestly think I've posted more in my IC voice than my in-game voice? I honestly do not think that is an accurate statement, and you're not backing up your claim with any proof.
[
And if the dead IC would back me up a bit more, I wouldn't have to spend as much time in IC voice mode.]
4) Furthermore, optimal MYLO play (at least in a beginner's game) is to vote "no lynch". Scratch that. See below.
[
Why vote "no lynch" at MYLO? You have three town and two scum. If there is no lynch, the game goes to night, the scum kills a townie in the night, and now you star- ahh, fuck. Nevermind, I'm a moron, this isn't MYLO, it's LYLO. MYLO would be 4 town and two scum (or three town and one scum). Carry on!]
Okay then. Need to switch gears from MYLO mindset to LYLO mindset.
Urist McCoder I'm feeling is likely town. His behavior has pretty much said "clueless newbie" to me all game. Which makes me think he's likely not getting coached by a scum IC.
So that leaves two of Tawarochir, Loud Whispers, and H4zardZ1 to be the scumteam.
H4zardZ1 - Possibly town. Also gave off a bit more of the "clueless newbie" aura, but not as strongly as McCoder. Had some behaviors that would be odd play for scum, like telling everyone to pressure other players when FoU was the vote leader on D1. Also he called for an extension when FoU was the clear vote leader on D1. FoU, as we have seen, flipped town D1. Could H4zardZ1 been trying to build up some towncred by such actions? Maybe. But I don't get that feeling from his posts. Also, usually scum tend to not throw tantrums and vote for themselves. Not to say that it couldn't happen though.
Loud Whispers and Tawarochir seem to have been playing fairly well. Which could be indicative of them receiving help from a scum IC. Also, they haven't seemed to have interacted much with each other, looking at my notes (which is a potential scumtell, more so for newer players).
Also, NQT (who flipped town) correctly identified FoU as town. Interestingly, both LW and Tawa jumped on NQT's analysis at the beginning of D2. NQT also spotted weak town tells in Grak (who flipped town) and McCoder (who I am also inclined to think is town).
Also also, LW dropped a wall of text on FoU on D2, but then pretty much dialed it in for the rest of the day. I would like to posit that town would have (or at least, should have) continued probing the other players for leads for the D3 lynch, but (lazy and/or bad) scum just try to set up one mislynch at a time.
Tawarochir I am feeling is less scummy than LW, but more scummy than H4zardZ1.
Also, because this is LYLO, if there is still a cop in the game, now would be the time to claim your results.
If H4zardZ1 is the cop, then we're likely SOL about getting that info. Unless we want to stall for a forced replacement.
If McCoder is the cop, then I'd really like to hear your inspect results.
If Tawarochir claims to be the cop, I'd be very suspicious. See below.
If Loud Whispers claims to be the cop, I'd be very suspicious. See below.
Predictions for a LW/Tawa cop claim: [
And future advice for faking a cop claim and/or trying to spot a fake cop claim]
1) One or both inspections will be of players who are presently dead. This is the easiest way to fake claim a cop.
2) LW/Tawa claims town inspection on the other. If you're going to fake claim a cop role, might as well "clear" your scumbuddy.
3) Claiming scum inspection on me. Because if you're going to fake claim a cop role, might as well try and paint your biggest detractor as scum!
4) Claiming town inspect on McCoder and [dead player/me]. Basically faking results that line up with my perceptions, so as to give me no further ammo and potentially setting up a bus for later.
5) Claiming scum inspect on scumbuddy. After scumbuddy is thrown under the bus and flips scum, that faked cop claim is very, very hard to tell apart from a real cop claim. Potentially ballsy, but also can potentially pay off very well.
And there are likely a few other permutations, but those are the main ones.
[
Also, always ask for reasons as to why a player inspected (or performed any night action) on another player. Go back to the day before that night action was claimed. If PlayerA claims they inspected PlayerB on N1, did PlayerA seem to think PlayerB was suspicious? Look for glaring inconsistencies between the reasons a player gives for who they targeted and what they did during the day before.]

Teneb, why didn't you catch my MYLO error? D:]
[
Not only did you ninja my post, but you didn't catch the error either, NQT. I am disappoint.]
