If it works like how mine did in conspiracy 2 then gossip is a day action.
If it works like how mine did in conspiracy 2 then gossip is a day action.
Can you explain why you think so? I still think Kopite is the most likely suspect, but with how weak scum has been so far (the key thing and Stan just a backup as additional role) I can also see the Super Saint additionally having extra votes to make up the difference. There seems to be nothing else in Oreos favor but "scum wouldnt have additional votes as power" iirc.
I choose during the day.
Wouldn't Geno immediately out Stu as Scum if he had killed Muffin?I think Stu looks okay after Stan's flip. Stan was stepping on Coolest's neck for a while and seemed to be building up to lunch them. That, and what happened the day Geno died makes me think Stu isn't scum.
Say Stu is scum and he knows Geno switched himself and Muffin by using the order. At that point, scum has no reason not to circumvent shooting Geno to kill Muffin, and letting Stan become a Tracker over his dead body. That would at least lend more credibility to Stan's backup claim, or at least make it so he wasn't as viable a lunch.
I think the final scum is within either Malus or Kopite, just based off of POE.
Following that, I think that if scum was in us lovers, it shouldn't be Blarg. Recall how much Stan wanted Blarg to die, from D2 to yesterday. It was very possible to happen yesterday too, so I don't think that was w/w. You can make a better case for me being scum in that situation.

Just keeping options open. Not like I said they are a serious candidate for today or anything lol.
Yeah I think since a Scum Stu would have the time to ask his scummate to NK Geno instead to confirm Muffin's data I don't see Stu as scum. I'm taking him off the list, the new order should be malus>Oreo?Say Stu is scum and he knows Geno switched himself and Muffin by using the order. At that point, scum has no reason not to circumvent shooting Geno to kill Muffin, and letting Stan become a Tracker over his dead body. That would at least lend more credibility to Stan's backup claim, or at least make it so he wasn't as viable a lunch.
This really proves nothing, there was no NK, so obviously Scum didn't move or haven action like role cop or something like Fanto mentioned.For me it's currently Kopite > Oreo > Stu > malus.
Kopites and Oreos powers are both things I can see scum have. Gossip chat seems too weak and I detected no movement from malus, and I explained Stu earlier.
I'm guessing scum didnt kill because they might not be able to kill and use another action at once and either A) Kopite used his ability instead to keep the facade until we forget it later or B) Oreo saved an additional vote to use later.
I thought of this, but wouldn't a Scum! Stu just ask his Scum mate to aim at Geno instead who would conceivably a Scum Target too?I choose during the day.
Wouldn't Geno immediately out Stu as Scum if he had killed Muffin?
It would look bad for him, but you couldnt conclude 100% from that that Stu is scum, since scum might target Geno before me, especially now knowing that Geno was able to influence Stan later.Wouldn't Geno immediately out Stu as Scum if he had killed Muffin?
That's an interesting point. Could it be that there's a caveat there, such as Oreo isn't able to amass votes more than the majority, or until a certain day? Therefore he wanted to use it yesterday regardless?Can you explain why you think so? I still think Kopite is the most likely suspect, but with how weak scum has been so far (the key thing and Stan just a backup as additional role) I can also see the Super Saint additionally having extra votes to make up the difference. There seems to be nothing else in Oreos favor but "scum wouldnt have additional votes as power" iirc.
And scum didnt do a NK just because? I dont think so. I think it's because they did a night action, and malus gossip chat doesnt seem like one, and we have precedence with gossip chats being chosen during the day in other games.This really proves nothing, there was no NK, so obviously Scum didn't move or haven action like role cop or something like Fanto mentioned.
Though Scum!Stu might still want to kill Geno because he would also be able to direct him, not just Stan, if he were scum to be fair.It would look bad for him, but you couldnt conclude 100% from that that Stu is scum, since scum might target Geno before me, especially now knowing that Geno was able to influence Stan later.
I don't think so, plausible deniability and all that, it was very possible for Geno to also be the NK or at least that would be a huge point of argument.I choose during the day.
Wouldn't Geno immediately out Stu as Scum if he had killed Muffin?
I'm just reminded that we really can't use our logic to say what scum could or couldn't do when they all seemingly have a facade PR to fall back on.And scum didnt do a NK just because? I dont think so. I think it's because they did a night action, and malus gossip chat doesnt seem like one, and we have precedence with gossip chats being chosen during the day in other games.
Aeleus were you invited to the gossip chat immediately after day end?

It's happened in games. Funny enough, there were two different reasons for scum not to put in a NK in games I've played.And scum didnt do a NK just because? I dont think so. I think it's because they did a night action, and malus gossip chat doesnt seem like one, and we have precedence with gossip chats being chosen during the day in other games.

I don't know, my first thought was that we just had the last scum kinda throwing, because of the odds. I suppose it's possible that they thought they were being tracked, but I can't think of a night action that's worth more than a NK.And scum didnt do a NK just because? I dont think so. I think it's because they did a night action, and malus gossip chat doesn't seem like one, and we have precedence with gossip chats being chosen during the day in other games.
The gossip would be the facade PR, but he cant have ANOTHER night action besides a kill additionally to being a super saint, that's too much.I'm just reminded that we really can't use our logic to say what scum could or couldn't do when they all seemingly have a facade PR to fall back on.
But Geno would know that he was switched, so he would know that Scum must have known he was switched in that case.I thought of this, but wouldn't a Scum! Stu just ask his Scum mate to aim at Geno instead who would conceivably a Scum Target too?
At least I think that's how Geno's power works
That's kind of contradictory to your previous argument.It would look bad for him, but you couldnt conclude 100% from that that Stu is scum, since scum might target Geno before me, especially now knowing that Geno was able to influence Stan later.
Scum! Stu could use WIFOM though, "of course Muffin would be protected", "Geno is the only confirmed town", etc.But Geno would know that he was switched, so he would know that Scum must have known he was switched in that case.
This is sorta true. Although like Vere says, we may be reading too much into it when Scum could've just forgot. Anyway I think malus has done a fair bit more gamesolving as well and coupled with Oreo's insistence on Blarg, I think my lunch order is now Oreo> malusThe gossip would be the facade PR, but he cant have ANOTHER night action besides a kill additionally to being a super saint, that's too much.
Not really. With current events it's unlikely scum would kill the director over the tracker, the tracker is more dangerous, so it's unlikely Stu is scum. If they killed me, it would look pretty bad for Stu, but just still not 100% definite is all what I'm saying.
Stan just flipped Ninja. If the director can control two Scum powers, that seems pretty strong to me.Not really. With current events it's unlikely scum would kill the director over the tracker, the tracker is more dangerous, so it's unlikely Stu is scum. If they killed me, it would look pretty bad for Stu, but just still not 100% definite is all what I'm saying.
Claiming I'm the one trying to weave the direction of discussion when Polter's actions have been discussed for the past 3 pages?
Nahh, this ain't it, chief.
Here's the rough breakdown of the sentiments I see among the last few pages, and the divide that I'm noticing being formed
Those who see Polt's actions as either NAI or beneficial to the game - Polt, Oreo, Stan, nin, LP, maybe Coolest
Those who see Polt's actions as AI or counterproductive to the game - Fanto, Vere, Kawl, Fran, Meat
Vote: Meatwad
I'd rather Meatwad. Even though I am expressing disagreement over the conclusions being made about Polt, I think the callouts on Meatwad's actions are on the right track
Not sure how I can contribute to end of day right now :<
Looks like we're still lynching blarg due to my vote bloat. I'm still alright with pursuing that, despite the potential lovers blowback if the claims end up being true
All Oreo's got going for him is that his power might be too strong for Scum, from the flips we've seen so far I think he could fit in there. I think Oreo's done next to no gamesolving either.That's if you believe the lovers claims, I suppose. And nah, I can't move my votes, I don't think. My role description says that once my saved votes are spent, they cannot be refunded, so I take that to mean they're set
It's strictly based on the role, yeah, I'm just giving a side-eye to the other ones a bit more, though my mind is already being changed by discussions today honestly. I could be persuaded to go there today probably, I think we just need to pick the best targets out of the PoE and we win this pretty easily.Can you explain why you think so? I still think Kopite is the most likely suspect, but with how weak scum has been so far (the key thing and Stan just a backup as additional role) I can also see the Super Saint additionally having extra votes to make up the difference. There seems to be nothing else in Oreos favor but "scum wouldnt have additional votes as power" iirc.
Creative Director being able to direct two scum players seems OP though to me.
This is a very good point actually, I think I'd rather go for Kopite or Malus today over Stu now, even Oreo over Stu.I guess you can argue scum would foresee that and Stu would rather kill Geno to not draw suspicion, but eh, I'm still not convinced of Genos three targets two are scum. That doesnt seem to fit for me.
And I would have got away with it too if it weren't for you meddling username changes!
If we are looking for role synergies in the mafia roles, I'd say a Vote Accumulator + Super Saint would make the most sense. We've had Jailer + Strong Kill, Tracker + Ninja and probably Vanilla + Goon. Vote Accumulator and Super Saint both involve voting in some form. Being a Super Saint would also in most cases reduce the utility of the Vote Accumulator in endgame.No but seriously I'm not to sure who to vote to, I'm pretty sure cabecita and reddie are the same character (though Reki won't confirm it :/) so the last scum is probably a dog so Kopite isn't 100% good (and given I was told copicopi visited me in highlighted text it's definitely his flavour name).
I think just based on roles I'm edging more towards Kopite, we know the mafia part of the last role is super saint so they're either
Switcher + supersaint
Gossip + supersaint
??? + supersaint (in terms of kopite)
So I think it's probably safer to vote kopite, not 100% sure yet though.
Vote: Kopite
Now that you're here, want to elaborate on that vote?Vote: Kopite
Heading to bed now so won't reply to anyone until tomorrow.
Interesting post. This is something that more comes to mind for Oreo, but is it possible that scum knew of the extra cat, and Polt's initial post was a flashlight into the dark for them? Kop also finds it necessary to place an opinion of Stan down right before Fran, if only to make that decision seem more natural and agreeable. You'll see later on in this investigation that Kop has shown a general a reluctance to Stan being scumread at all.Lol just messing, I'm ready to scum hunt and am sniffing everyone's butts here.
I don't know what to think about Polt's post, but D1s are hard and sometimes you just don't have much to do and it's easy to end up with some busywork even if you're town because you need to show at least something and there's the post count as well. I wouldn't read too much into it, at least not now.
Someone mentioned Fanto is playing with a slight scatter gun approach, and I feel that happened after he voted me and rac slightly called him out on it so I'm a little suspicious there, even though my vote on Fanto isn't a completely serious one as of yet.
As for other players, Stan feels like town, Fran is playing similar to the last game I played with them where we were both town(DS Mafia).
Stan was also adamant about Blarg needing to be lunched, but then again it was an insane gambit. Remember that scum took a shot at Muffin N3, and coincidentally, Muffin needs to die for Stan to have any credibility. I see this post as laying down the framework for Stan's rise to tracking fame, while also needling Geno for information on whether the scum NK could be diverted.Polter's claim is obviously suspect and we shouldn't lunch anywhere else today, from the rest I think Blarg's is also a little hard to believe if Stan isn't lying, would we really need a tracker and a backup tracker if we have a cop?
Geno Does it make sense for your ability to not be able to affect scum? Since there's that whole consequence of disobeying thing.
I think there's 1, maybe 2 scum within Oreo, Polt, Blarg, and Stu.
This is a response to a lunch order for Stan and Malus. Kopite isn't actively fighting against a Stan lunch...he just doesn't want it to happen before Malus. Why?
Because Gossip be useless yo. Solving by their claims, I suppose it doesn't help. More useless than a supposed tracker with a not stellar track record? Apparently...yes.Looking at all the claims, I think we need to lunch between Stan, Stu and Malus.
Stu can clearly protect town and Geno's flip lends credence to Stan's claim. Malus is the most disposable, as their powers can't really help town in any way.
Vote: malus
Oh. Okay.You can't just game solve solely through mass claiming and then trying to weed out claims just because they can't really be proven. That's what Town did for Maple Street and then got screwed when it was too late to do anything. Can I ask why you aren't interested in voting Muffin instead? My role has actual value for town.
We know that Stan had basically checked out by this point. We know that it would've been an uphill battle to sway opinion away, but it does seem a bit off that Kopite didn't even try to swing for Malus. Just reluctantly votes Stan.I'd rather vote malus but since that isn't picking up steam will switch to Stan over Blarg
Vote: Stantastic
Ha. I didn't think more of this, but I'm sure everyone knows that the final scum has the ability to use their PR at the same time as the NK. I'm very much betting Muffin is dead tonight if we don't win today because of that.I targeted Oreo btw, and was hoping a NK elsewhere would clear me although not sure what happened there, did Scum just give up.
Anyway I think I'm still kinda cleared, from Stan's flip scum are
Cabecita and Mutante and Bigote.
Mutante = Chugg
Bigote = Stan
Polt was an extra, so we're looking for Cabecita who we know is a cat, and we know I'm CopiCopi, a doggo so that flavor clears me right? Right? Right?
Back on Malus after Stan. He says POE, but has Malus' behavior struck him as scum? More than Stan's? Didn't Kop just say that POE based on mass claims shouldn't be used to reason, yet he's on Malus' neck because they're a gossip.Vote: malus
PoE here. I wanted to lunch in this order Malus>Stan> Stu, so going to keep going with this.
Rereading why Oreo's voted where he has:
N1: Votes Meatwad to equal the votes. Has a suspect post where he runs defense for Polt
N2:
After his triple vote on Blarg, pretty sure he refuses to unvote even after Vere confirms Blarg is his lover. I think this is pretty clearly done to ensure Stan doesn't get lunched. (PS: I'm the one who tied the vote and saved Blarg in lieu of Stan, confirmed town XD)
All Oreo's got going for him is that his power might be too strong for Scum, from the flips we've seen so far I think he could fit in there. I think Oreo's done next to no gamesolving either.
oreomunsta and Blargonaut who are you going to vote for?
If we are looking for role synergies in the mafia roles, I'd say a Vote Accumulator + Super Saint would make the most sense. We've had Jailer + Strong Kill, Tracker + Ninja and probably Vanilla + Goon. Vote Accumulator and Super Saint both involve voting in some form. Being a Super Saint would also in most cases reduce the utility of the Vote Accumulator in endgame.
But anyway, I'm staying with my vote on Stuart.
Now that you're here, want to elaborate on that vote?
If needed, I guess I can botch my votes if everyone wants to go for Stan
Kopite has the last vote on Stan at the moment. I can swap over to a different player to break the tie, if nothing happens in a couple of minutes
Such passivity makes me wonder if the conclusion didn't matter to Oreo, or at least he wanted to give the impression that what happened to Stan didn't matter. At that juncture Stan was going to be lunched, it was only a matter of when rather than why.Okay, you guys picked excellently with Stan :3
Vere has come off my scum read list. Looks like our assumption of at least two more scum was accurate, so with likely one left, lovers is a good possibility now.
Also, I can confirm I was visited by Kopite , or rather CopiCopi. I don't know what he did, though

Me and Oreo were scum buddies together back in Steven Universe. I think I have a pretty good read on his scum game because of that, but I don't know what is town game is like at all. His posts here don't feel like I expect scum Oreo to play though. Like I would expect scum Oreo to back down from this, but instead he doubled down on it. It's not the strongest read, but my gut is telling me he's good.
You can see that Chuggs is already running interference for Oreo, but he also makes sure to town read his confirmed scummate Stan, so he's not above doing that.Yeah, I would agree. The Oreo ones kind of look the most shady to me, but that might be me just coming from a game with scum Blarg and being kind of paranoid about that. Stan's vote on Meatwad I don't love, but aggro Stan is usually town Stan from what I gathered so I'll let it slide for now. I don't really like Meatwad's vote at all.
Wasn't a huge fan of Geno's whole "We shouldn't bother with day 1 reads" thing, but it also feels very Geno so I dunno
I don't really love the recent Oreo posts at all, but Meatwad still feels like the worst of those two. Him playing quiet here seems like he's hoping town towns itself
This isn't even a pocket, it's blatantly covering for Oreo while making it seem like they have friction to justify a meatwad vote. At this point, Chuggs has been town reading 2 of his buddies, Stan and Polt. I heavily doubt he'd start side eyeing Oreo.Vote: Meatwad
I'll switch if there's a tie, but I would rather do this today
His response to Oreo for Meatwad is down below, and it felt like artificial interaction.I still don't love that first Polter post, but what I've seen of him since seems to be more nervous townie than busy scum
Yeah.
So, looking over the sample PM, it really seems like role names themselves in this game have their own flavor to them. "Extra" = Vanilla Town there.
Whenever someone claims in the future, should we just go with the standard name of the role (assuming the role can be categorized as such) or what the role is actually printed as? Because I can definitely feel like people could get confused if this odd naming scheme is game-wide.
Ya'll know that's bull. Oreo's rush to defend Polt is only superceded by Chugg's reluctant notice of it after Kawl mentions it's a bad look, and Stan's feigned ignorance by talking around Polter's post.The current suspicions on Polt for wanting to lay out decent claiming groundrules reminds me of dogs getting spooked by their own shadows
