Specifically on Jman its more just reviewing his play round D2 with all the message shenangins, The pretyped post, the confidence in the assumption that everyone was a messenger and taking my own idea with the message i got from Wee in stride even further than i was going with it feel like the kind of Jman jank i would easily count on him faking.
Oh, Jman was apparently the first effected by whatever was waylaying messages, an effect thats still in the game unless i missed something.
if thats a scum power id call that a bigly point in Hobos favour as i really doubt scum would aim it at themselves on D1, but im haunted by the idea its nobodies power and just some independent chaos woven into the game.

oh wow i entirely blanked my whole discussion with Jman about the blarg red text thing from my memory.
im probably going to cast my vote before heading off tonight btw, hopefully will stick around long enough to see peeps show up proper but its already 1am so no promises.
Also this time i give everyone permission to vote me off while im gone, just this once, as a treat.
dont tho.

fukin yeah reading up to like D4 of Jman i cant really see scum there.
Will start on Wee now and see how that goes.

I don't know what Jmans normal play style was but it seemed okay to me? I'm not the 'gambit' type so I wouldn't have tried to send out a fake command to someone like they did but I could jive with their reasoning. I didn't really get the pressure he received for assuming there were multiple messengers out the gate as it felt like a logical conclusion to make if you had been able to send, and also received, a message.
The only play I didn't quite follow was them going on Blarg so much with that red text thing. Without going back to look I can't remember if it was pre or post arsonist reveal (I wanna say post?) but then sticking on Blarg when there was a good case on Ephi/HP at the time was a bit ehh.
Can't go wrong with a Pepperoni, but I ain't being fussy when it comes to Pizza.
I'm starting to get a bad feeling about Salva being so quiet today, especially when there feels like a soft consensus from the rest of us that they are town. I keep thinking back to the Day 1 final tally where expecting me (as jman) and wee as mafia means expecting that all scum stacked on one person.
Cheers, and the red text thing was well before the arsonist reveal.
As for Salva im putting that pretty much entirely on Salva not being a huge solver and under zero pressure.
I get what you mean tho but i cant see a way Salva isnt the defuser so thats just kinda confirmed enough for me today.
...would a scum defuser make sense?
Like scum is at risk of being arsonisted as much as town, but i cant think of any game thats ever had a neutral countering role on the mafias team.

Yeah I agree that Salva has to be a defuser.
And yeah, there's no real reason that the defuser couldn't be scum. In a way I can see a scum defuser making Blargs wincon easier if they could get a deal going via the messages. Blarg never douses scum and scum defuser can just pretend to defuse people when they tell the thread they have a package. You guys said you didn't ever get a notification you'd been defused right?
But I just don't feel great about having any suspicions on Salva mainly coming from Blargs seemingly tough wincon. That was my reasoning for naming Salva as scum when I replaced in, not for anything that Salva had actually done.

Day 2 messages.
Stan messaged Ephi
Wee messaged Stan
Jman messaged chuggs but chugs did not get it, blarf did.
So Jman was messed by the switcher/redirector.
Stan messaged the scum player that admitted was surprised by how deep it was.
Wee used her message to do book quotes.
If I was to vote right now I would vote wee.
I need to read more.
OK this vote at this time pretty much helps me on thinking Stan can't be scum. Blarg is leading in votes with ephi in a close second and Stan already has a vote in Blarg, so switching votes puts ephi at risk of getting voted out. I don't think scum is that gutsy.
This all lead to funky getting voted out but it also forced scum in voting together to save ephi.
Jman already was en ephi, while wee was on Blarg but had no chance to switch votes.
At this point still voting wee, need more read.
OK day 3.
I already has a case against wee, sweet
I got two scrambled messages, one from Blarg and one from maybe EC.
Wee messaged EC.
I got blargs ms but that was intended for Sorian.
I got Ecs post but that also was I tented for Sorian.
In other words, I got Sorian mail. And scrambled.
For a moment there, when I saw wees vote on ephidel I was like "fuck maybe I'm wrong" but as soon as the ephi train almost became a turbo wee in votes because, hey, let's not rush until town agrees.
For someone who admitted to not paying much attention that was a really fast I-turn.

Day 3 Ends In:
Jman almost got discouraged but play a strong game.
By the point wee put the vote down again it was obvious ephi was gone and that they needed to get rid of chuggs and gain some townie points.
Stan had that vote on ephi early and just stuck to it.
Oof
when did i say i'm not paying attention? I said i let chuggs talk.
I've paid attention to vote counts as possible. and went back on ephidel when everyone had stopped talking; like i said i'm not against turbos, and popped right back on when there was only an hour left for day expiring.
If i was scum i could have used atp's energy to push the claimed doc as a town self kill, granted i'd have been reversing what i said since day one, but it might have been worth it to save the two-fer of ephi and hp, who were so tightly linked.
I used my message to make a role claim as messenger, in fact. it was intended to say the word messenger, and be easily attributable to me via association. Stan instead took it as an indication that the sender must be mafia because the quote is plural.
Then I claimed as messenger in my first post of the day....although it had become apparent that I was not exceptional. But the whole thing was supposed to fit together.
The redirector.
I have a theory
Day 2
Blarg got Chugs mail
The mail was from jman.
Day 3
I got Sorians mail
The mail was from EC and Blarg
Day 4.
Nothing
Day 5
Nothing
Day 6.
Weemad got the message I send to Stan, also scrambled.
Hobo also send a message to Stan but no one got it.
Day 7
Stan tried to send me a message but it went to himself.
It seems what the redirector does is make one player receive all the email from another player, but scrambled.
Judging at the general flow of it all... Yeah I think wee has this power.

Weemad has just been kinda lazy the whole game, her votes for scum came when convenient and by following others, her lack of interest on the way messages worked make me think she already knew how they were messed with. I think wee is the last scum. I can't shake the feeling.
Vote: weemadarthur

You're probably confused because I lied to blarg for a day, just to make his life as a serial killer more difficult.
But I corrected it and corroborated salva when he defused me because it seemed more beneficial to stick with accurate info at that point in time.
i'm not the last scum. Why would I spend effort clearing salva and scum hunting if I was the scum? Hobo was ready to vote salva out yesterday, and stan was wishy washy. As scum I would go for anyone at all, but I'm trying to solve and make sure to get it right.
The day one and er...three....four, the EC error one, has me believing that it's stan over jobo.
Those votes speak.

I don't want it to be wee, she was so helpful when I subbed in at getting me caught up 😔
I know I keep revisiting the Salva well with dumb theories but yeah I really don't see him.
I also like this reasoning, but ahhhhh.

My parents are over coming over for food and I really don't like making you guys wait but I also don't wanna rush into a vote....
Stans vote is pretty much set in stone with them seemingly gone for the rest of the day.
Salva, are you like convinced convinced? Like ain't budging at all convinced.

I read the whole ass thread and if I am honest both wee and stan played great games, it comes down to my gut and the way I feel the timing went down and wee looks worse. If it has to be either of them... I voted wee. I could be wrong but my vote is there.
Stan left a vote on wee when I said that was where I was leaning and that gave me pause, tho, but that is also something Stan just does.
Stan never even had any pressure on him this game so of course when it looks like he might win, he mic drops and hopes to come back and be happy.
This is what I'm worried about with regards to Stan yeah.
Agreed, and it's incredibly frustrating!
