Not really surprised yogsloth flipped town; I thought him more likely to be town but no Power Role, who was just trying to gauge reactions and sow confusion for scum with his actions. Also not really all that surprised Dessimu was also town; his reserved play and focus on trentonlf and yogsloth made his claim more likely true than not. At least we didn't do scum's job by lynching him.

Vote Dessimu Since I wasn't around during the discussions close to D1's end, I've gone over those posts during the Night. Regarding yours (#308 and #318), here are a few questions for you:
- When Dessimu claimed, did you go back to re-read him and see if his claim made, or at least could make, sense based on his play, and vice versa?
- If the players around at the time had said they believed his claim, would you have re-voted him?
- Why would you abstaining from the vote necessarily lead to a No-Lynch? Did you think those not voting at the time would let it go to No-Lynch? If so, why did you think that? I know you won't vote someone you don't think scum on D1, but do you think that other townies won't either? Specifically, do you think that if it comes down for them to choose between someone they see as more likely town who quite obviously has no Power Role and someone they don't quite see as scum, who claims one, they wouldn't choose the former over the latter to avoid No-Lynch, and see how things go from there?
trentonlf: [...] Plain and simple fact is I didn't buy Dessimu's claim and I felt he was the scum out of the two.[...]
trentonlf: [...] Dessimu felt off to me most of he day so I felt he was scum. [...]
Why did it necessarily have to be a case of "the scum out of the two"? You spoke of suspicion D1, and that he didn't alleviate it, and were so convinced of it that you were willing to risk lynching the only investigative role we have. But you never shared what exactly about him was so suspect in your eyes. Not when asked to, and not when you revoted him. Even now, you say just that he felt off.
Since I didn't see what made him scummy in your eyes to vote him in the first place, and since I did ask you for specifics, could you finally share what exactly made him that suspect for you?
trentonlf: Never took that class so I have no idea. [...]
So you're sel-ftaught, eh?
Bookwyrm627: [...] Not what I would have done as scum, but it does mean I'm not going to be risking my neck trying to block a Dessimu lynch today.
I read your clarification, just want to make sure I understand you correctly - is the "I'm not going to" part meant as in "I no longer need to"?
Bookwyrm627: [...] I had planned to derail a D2 Dessimu lynch if he wasn't the N1 kill, [...]
Two questions:
- Do I understand you correctly that you believed Dessimu's claim?
- Does this mean that were you around after he claimed, you'd have unvoted him?
Bookwyrm627: [...] If I were scum and Dessimu were town, I'd have let the doctor try to protect Dessimu while I go out and kill two other people. Target Dessimu for the D2 lynch and clean up his investigations (if necessary) on a later Night. [...]
Do you think enough people would be onboard with lynching Dessimu D2?
More to follow after I prepare and have dinner.
