I'll get a reads list down soon.
I think you caught the Mafia bug, Donnie. :p
In fact, yeet, I'll just go for it. I think I'm still gonna come up on most folks scum lists which is what I wanted to check and if I drop this I can go and enjoy my saturday until usa wakes up lol.
I'm just gonna go loud and say I think the pair we're looking for are Melon and Sneeks. All my posts in this day phase were set up to point to that if I got eliminated. On day one I think team trio mafia sat on Chuggs, Hedin & Sparks and they only stacked after Zipped was a lost cause for not moving (there's been a lot of speculation as to why Zipped never moved but imo it was either going to leave too much of a black mark on him and they agreed to bus or he straight up just wasn't available so they did it without him). I tried to point out the fact they both moved suspiciously quickly together in post #603. On day 2, I think they started by trying to rile up the thread on Nin but no one bit (I tried to point this out on #609, #625). After killing Sparks, I think they split up again between Fireblend and myself and again with an aim to get Nin later, although we all know how that ended. No need to stack on Nin. Going into day 4 I think the idea was to spread out of Febe and Alexem. I put myself on the radar with my vote and quickly was pressured but I think my attempt to link them struck a nerve and what we got was an entirely fabricated *argument* that was meant to achieve a few things. Discredit any moves I was making to link them, bus the other one if my Melon vote got traction, and to build in an insurance policy with Febe and Alexem; one scum goes, another town sinks.
Some of my personal observations that got me here:
On day 1, Melon brings up the venge kill and says they'll shoot sparks (#109), spends a number of following posts goading and stirring between him and Chuggs, voting Sparks (#148) and passes the baton straight to Sneeks, who upon arrival says she wants vote Sparks just to see who he would shoot (#150). This later causes some concern from Febe. (#175). Eventually this leads to Melon sitting on Sparks for most of day 1 before being bussed on Zipped and a perception in the group that Sparks should be dealt with. Unfortunately, the town eventually does act on this after suspicion builds.
In post #157, Sneeks suggests she would even shoot Febe for the maths thing (#208) , which later causes Hedin to be concerned (#267). Sneaks will sit on Mr Hedin for most of Day 1, soliciting folks to jump off Zipped while pushing hard against any case for him (#307, #310) before being bussed on Zipped. Hedin is killed early in day 2, and after working Febe early in the v short day 2 (trying to connect him to Sparks & Zipped) Melon takes the baton and uses the math thing out of seemingly nowhere on day 3 to shit post and vote for Febes (#423, #428) This ultimately ends in Febe being v nearly eliminated before Nin valiantly saves him.
At the beginning of Day 2, the town do not yet know Nin is town, but the scum sure would, and Sneeks votes him immediately (#460). This probably wouldn't be notable after the day Nin had on day 1 but despite pushing Nin conspiracies between themselves (#364, #372, #375) no one really bites. It literally is only the two of them. (#375 is a corker of a post btw). The Nin thing will pay off later when Nin gets bored of being pushed on and votes Melon, Melon decides to…..vote me (#484) on the grounds of….something bizarre regarding Nin and unfortunately all this set up ends with Nin getting eliminated (a somewhat improbable event that finally gives me enough info to go through and put this all together since I actually SAW the process of Melon setting someone up on me that dies the same day).
Now I'll say, I think Melon is still a completely viable candidate to vote right now. We have someone who has no strong reasons for any of their votes, consistently aims on town and crumbled when I asked why my name was still on their list in this day phase and ghosted when I asked why they'd vote for Febe. If y'all can't see my theory, at least see that as hard fact. If I don't have the town cred (despite being pummeled for voting Zipped in the first place on day 1, then again for whacking him) fine. I considered waiting to make this point if it's Alexem that goes because I think it supports the set up by Melon on him but I really don't want to see any more town go and really if Alexem goes and goes green, I think scum will get chase our tails on Febe or it'll be myself again. Swing on all three of us and we're all green and town lose. I think this scum team has revelled in casting a wide net and reaping the rewards of us killing ourselves while they sit spread out and safe.
So why I wanted to hear if I'm still on most people's scum lists: my alternative suggestion then if we have to flip a townie, is flip me instead so you can at least get to the point while there's still time. I don't know what flipping Febe or Alexem does if they come up green other than just wander down the Hedin list striking obvious names off. Flip me green and I think you'll be able to see the reaction to me voting Melon today, the immediate check by Sneeks and hard attempt to tie me to the train she advocated for loudly and the parade that followed to put some space from my points. And if I'm off, I don't know what y'all have been doing lol that will be Nin, Sparks, Sneeks and Melon and myself all actively honorary scum lol I don't think I'm ready for that world. If Chuggs or HP are deep scum they aren't really doing anything whatsoever to push it and that is what it is, I can't predict that unless the numbers get smaller.
Yeahhh I'm fairly confident Donnie is town lol. I'd be impressed to find any scum player doing this kind of paranoid read and that goes double for a new scum player. There's just a genuine 'its all connected!" energy coming from this even though I know it's completely wrong. The pointing out of the word chaos too just kinda seals it.
I think you caught the Mafia bug, Donnie. :p
Later, fire. Was fun playing with you!Fireblend has asked to be replaced, I will start reaching out.
