    My guess is "with regards to."

    Because I couldn't decide.

    Sloth pointed out that all the people he's defended (except TerRaine? I think) have made it to endgame. Reduces the chances of us scumreading him because why bite the hand that feeds you.

    MathBlade and ika wanted an ika lynch, Titus didn't want an ika lynch. I chose to lynch ika.

    ...Yes? Why is that funny?

    @MathBlade

    1) What do the tags have to do with the game? 2) Why are you assuming I had anything to do with the rainbows and cupcakes ones specifically? 3) I have no idea why you're trying to connect that to your read on me. (Fun fact: ~3 of the tags are mine, but they have nothing to do with rainbows or cupcakes.)

    I like this point.

    @Sloth

    There is no post where anyone literally tried to tell you anything. It was in reference to these posts, which at the time I was assuming you hadn't read, given your "Wait, what?" reaction.

    I like using words as links. Sorry.

    This is a fluff post and has nothing to do with the game don't even try to argue this I just felt like reminiscing:

    One of the first forums I joined had this neat feature where you could know who in the Currently Active Users list was writing a post because their name would be italicized, vs. people who were lurking because their name was just written normally. Fun stuff.

    Ok, here we go:

    -Monochrome is Town for reasons already stated, if mbond’s scum, there’s very little chance she is as well, seeing how the stars would have to align to allow this team the chance to NK every time without fail.

    -Mathblade is still town – or null leaning Townish, at least. I’m struggling to see the line between ‘regular Mathblade thinking’ and ‘scum Mathblade.’ Her speed in changing her views on me and the drastic nature of it, coupled with what she chooses to use as evidence confuses me.
    At the same time, I have other suspects, and the evidence is stronger in them. At the very least she reminds me of Titus when se tunnels as Town (or NK), so that probably means something.
    Not to mention I have far stronger suspects, so by PoE, she’s probably Town.

    -I really…really wish we had lynched Snow D1, or D2 at the latest (No offense, Snow). His play has gotten better, but my paranoia is screaming, and we only have one more chance to ML. If he’s scum and wins this, I’m not sure if it’s because some sort of brilliant play on his part, or because we as Town are idiots. …Thinking the former.
    For the time being though, he just doesn’t ring the bell as much as the others.
    I’ve also mentioned basically everything on my mind on him after mbond: He’s not experienced enough to pull this off basically alone, and would Dermon really risk putting his partner as one of his scumreads?

    -Rubicon has moved to scum based on my analysis of the votes based on the things I brought up in the opening analysis:
    And the NK analysis I brought up last post.
    Snowvon’s post about Dermon/Rubicon interaction seem good, but a lot of them were mostly Rubicon seeking him out and pressing him for reads (though it’s true that he didn’t follow up on the nulls). The real bad one seems to be #898, where he only asked Rubicon about scum!Titus. His answers are shaky on reread.
    Going by the lynches, I absolutely can believe Rubicon could realize Lyrium was seer from D1. I mentioned my theory on TerRaine.
    Titus, however, doesn’t make sense. At this point, I’m not willing to rule out wifom, though.
    And, again, there’s been his Townie play to consider.

    All in all, that makes my strongest scum read…

    Atum, whom I have started going over since yesterDay, and solidified my read on over Night. Again, refer to my start of day analysis for everything I’ve seen in him.
    It’s possible he could have spotted Lyrium as seer, but I also believe he’s smart enough to try to get rid of her as she was seen as Town by most.
    As for Titus, I’m not sure – although it makes more sense than Rubicon. It may even have been an emotion-driven kill as he has admitted ika and Titus annoyed him (eh, can’t fault him for that if true.)
    Terraine makes less sense than Rubicon, but still makes sense on the same theory. (Just without the buddies factor.)
    What really damns himi n my eyes have been his interactions with Dermon – as mentioned, unsolicited, unheeded, and with no actual scumhunting or pressing. Look them up yourself.

    And that’s where things stand as of now for me.

    VOTE ATUM

    Ok, on to replying to new comments.

    Now follow that out...If your choices of scumreading someone are intentionally reduced by that player in a strategic manner isn't there a chance they could be scum? IMO Sloth's play has been about looking town rather than being town.

    Uhm we're the only ones that have been posting rainbows and been talking about flirting yet most of the tags are about rainbows and flirting. We're also the two LGBT people here soooooo if not you then someone is trying to distract my hyper mind with too much input and they need to knock it off.

    Making up a new acronym -- Fluff and duh (FAD)

    :) The new player is starting to question everything....This is good.

    I think that having me be NK'd for the sake of my sanity would be a stupid move on scum's part. Besides if I'm wrong this many times and town still wins then this is an OMG this scum and town both suck :p

    ---------- Post automerged at 15:33 ---------- Previous post was at 15:32 ----------

    https://forums.darklordpotter.net/sh...postcount=1432 This is a pretty good town argument…He didn't cater one way or the other for mbond lynch but did mention a minimum post requirement. If he was scum why would he risk the mod killing mbond? Could see a lynch and townie cred but risking a modkill seems like a bold gambit.

    ^^ From my big ass wall post.

    My hypothesis is: If someone does something illegal they get a strike. If they don't meet minimum posting they get a strike. If they collect three strikes auto replace or kill. The exception would be if it was so egregious as to be cheating or break the game.

    To be honest I haven't seen a mod's QT as I don't even know if they have one but this would be my guess. IMO this is a better Riley question

    @RILEY: Do you wish to expand/correct/just answer for yourself any of this?

    If there was no possibility of a replacement rather than a modkill than that does look good

    Um atum isn't here to defend himself which kinda makes me wary that that's why I'm leaning that way but I am.

    I know and I don't blame you for doing this but everything is just too neat about Atum. If you've ever seen those detective shows where the person being interrogated of murder has no alibi and the murder weapon was uniquely his and his DNA was at the scene in real life it is them, but in games and TV shows it usually isn't. This has the ear markings of a set up to me by Sloth or Rubicon but most likely Sloth for the reasons I've pointed out.

    @Riley: Thanks!

    @Delphine: Exactly why I think Snow would be an unlikely candidate. Scummy play on the other hand would be to ignore it and just let it happen or to try to press a lynch mob of that person and collect townie cred. The second collects more cred that the first but can also be a protownie person wanting to get rid of lurkers.

    Wait did rubi ditch us without voting

    I thought atums new reads pending the deMon flip would be telling and so I'm annoyed that he's not been here

    I'm gonna meta Rubicon and Sloth if we're all still around tomorrow but I don't feel comfortable flash wagoning either of them atm sorry

    @Delphine: He voted Atum.

    And I understand your concern about the flash wagoning...It does look like I got this out of the blue and my freak out doesn't help my case any. My vote is sticking on Sloth though as I would rather no lynch than lynch a townie at this point. We only have two more lynches left. It may almost be better to have 3 days instead of two to give scum more of a chance to slip up. (Willing to expand if needed)

    Actually we only have one lynch left before we're kinda fucked.

    5 townies, 1 scum => mislynch + NK => 3 townies, 1 scum => at that point we can NL + NK => 2 townies, 1 scum. Or we could NL first.

    I'll switch to Atum if needed.

    ---------- Post automerged at 17:09 ---------- Previous post was at 17:08 ----------

    Or to NL, if that's preferable? It's toDay or toMorrow.
