Also wow you guys need to chill, cause there's a lot of rambling and misreading going on in all of y'all's posts.
Right now the person you need to convince isn't the person you're accusing, its me.
And Naturegirl. Well, Pooka and Superdorf just need to convince one of the two of you to vote me and it's all over, they have an advantage that way. But I need to convince both of you.
Makes me slightly regret waiting to find the second scum, really. But I don't know if claiming earlier would have made a difference.
This gambit is too much risk for too little gain. Why do all of this mental gymnastics as scum? I could have "watched" someone else and not do the roleblocking claim. What it would have come down to is Naturegirl being suspected for her play and possibly lynched. Game over. Scummy Superdorf and I already had the necessary ammo to win the game. Gambits are done when you're in a tight position and you must think of something to tip the scale in your favor, pronto. This couldn't have been it.

It's in my favor as scum to muddy the waters, not to build up consistent stories. Here's what building up a consistent story get us: being the spotlight of your scumteam theory. If the waters were muddied, nobody would have coherent stories to rely on, all they'd have is their separate night actions.

"I like how you're misconstruing me." in your own words.
The LyLo thing is in reference to the current game situation: scum is possibly one lynch away. Since you proposed Superdorf and I as the scumteam, it would indeed be the last day; all we need to get in is one lynch. Yes, Superdorf started with his bad vibes about you, but it wouldn't have necessarily held on to the end of the day to lynch him.
But with only three town left, in what could be a lylo situation I'd say that it is in your interest to build up consistent stories, just in case other people do the same thing. Especially with one of you performing the nightkill, and being likely to conflict with someone else's testimony. And now there's an argument, two against one, which is pretty good odds for you: I had to wait until the end of the claims (which I know looks bad, but hey, I wanted to find scum and thought Pooka would be town), and now have to convince both Persus and Naturegirl. I'm still pretty confident about this though. I'm pretty sure the omgus behaviour, possible scumslips and rambly reaction is clear enough evidence you're scum.

Now, while scrolling through the previous posts, I caught something even more interesting in light of Day 2.
I myself have a hunch that there is an SK.
What happened to that hunch, NJW? It's a very specific hunch, and you don't seem to exhibit it to-Day.
If you actually wanted to see what happened to that hunch, you might have tried reading the thread. But never mind, here's what happened to the hunch.
I myself thought there was an SK because no strong lynch cases had emerged when I said this, which suggests the mafia weren't focusing on obtaining a lynch to benefit scum, and that quite a few players were more interested in figuring out who was who than killing efficiently.
All that's out the window what with the new developments.
I indeed have not considered the possibility today that there is an SK. But tbh, it doesn't seem likely. Unless quite a few people are lying, there would have been two nightkills.
But really it doesn't matter to me right now whether there's an SK or not. If I'm not lynched today, I'll be the prime nightkill target as an obvious town player, so I'm fairly unlikely to see D3 whatever happens. Right now, I'm just trying to lynch the person who lied.
Maybe my theory about motivations is completely wrong and instead this mess was produced by scum and SK play. Makes no difference to me really,
lynch all liars, as they say.
@Persus @Naturegirl
Mechanically (and correct me if I'm wrong here) I'm pretty sure this comes down to my word against Pooka's/Superdorf's. And yes, there is one of me and two of them, but there are
two scum, so I wouldn't make numbers the deciding factor in your judgement...
So you have a couple of options. Guess about scum/town motives and try and work out which of our explanations of the night is more likely. Reread the game, checking for dubious behaviour, scumtells, dodgy scumhunting, etc. Or pick someone at random, I can't really stop you if you want to flip a coin or consult the I Ching
. I'd rather you didn't do those last ones though.
Persus is right, I should really be focusing on your questions, rather than still trying to scumhunt Pooka/Superdorf. So fire away, if you have any.
