I think I already have most post post-game than I made while playing. :-)

daaaaamn

That would have more weight if it wasn't for your theory about me and nmillar posting at the same time. I'm still not sure what aspect of being on a scum team together would make us more likely to post at the same time than the base random chance. :S
It was set in a speakeasy during prohibition. :P

It was a fun setting, I'd love to see a sequel one day.

I wonder what I would have made of Micro's claim if I'd been around? I probably wouldn't have spotted the problem given how disengaged I was, but it's a nice thought.

Hmm, I was only present and voting for D2 in this game. The other two days ended prematurely and caught me out.

I would have yelled my lungs out, unfortunately I was playing an escape room. I'm not sure what good that would have been though as I wasn't one of the voters to back out of the lynch. I think it was important for either GH (who had obviously figured it out) or phaolo to be around and act on it but oh well.

Possible crisis averted!

As long as I am as sure as I can be(or feel that I can be), can convince others to believe and/or vote my suspects, and no one finds holes in my theories/stances/leans(meaning id need to change them) I am somewhat ok with this.

(Also tbh I feel it's more likely that some brush my stances off for other reasons like my style of play in general, etc)

Yeah, ultimately we would have needed one of those guys to get off the wagon. It's a pity I didn't push harder for a no lynch. I floated the idea, but I didn't want to push in case people decided it was scummy and lynched me.

I figured day chat or at least some scum chat was a thing and the scum team could(and might) coordinate and come on at once like that.....didn't know the scum had NO CHAT. :|

I had the same thoughts....had I been on I likely would've found that claim of Micro's suspect enough(along with their earlier vote on me and other things) to drop my vote on Nmillar and focus a bit on them.

Oh well, sleep came at that time and what happened happened.....now onto the next game!

Well you could've...I dunno....ASKED ME. :)

++++++++++++++

I was watching the game like a hawk(a bored one sometimes, what with little posts on some days) when I was online....and that Micro claim would've set off alarm bells(as I told Catte just now) and likely made me change course....sadly I wasn't online then. :(

But why? What possible reason would scum have to do that?

Well I did suggest it to everyone in general, but there were no takers (and a bit of a push back from some).

Spitballing here a bit: Controlling the narrative maybe? Maybe enforce the other scum buddy's posts somehow by posting back to back near back to back?

Anyhoo, I keyed into it due to the timing being close and the posts being close....to me it seemed like maybe possibly scum buddies coming out of a possible chat and into the game at the start of those "days".

I was wrong on that, but the "accidental hammer" by Lift and the quickhammer by Vitek......if only i'd focused on that "side" of my list a bit more.

If I had seen Micro's post id likely have joined in....oh well.....hopefully I won't succ as much keister next game.

+++++++++++++++++

Could you maybe make one more?

Maybe explain why you didn't let me hammer the one "day" and let me look more suspect by doing so? I mean if I were scum I would have let me hammer and be more suspect.
(But maybe you had reasoning i'm not fully seeing?)

@gogtrial, I tend to forget the "fine print" of each of my opponents between games, so while I of course remembered playing with you, I'd forgotten just how tough of an opponent you actually were. I went into our conversations on D1 hoping to sow confusion and create an opening to cause a mis-lunch, and found myself most ably turned back upon the breach and sent running down the battlements with my tail between my legs.

I didn't pick up on your breadcrumb. The reason I avoided doing anything with Catte N2 was I figured that, what with having called all sorts of attention to the crumbs in D2, any protective roles would be led away from the person I saw as the most-town remaining (you) and focusing on Catte--who we could worry about another night, thus leaving you open to my visit and invite. There was, of course, a severe risk that Catte would find something and spill the beans on one of us. Had there been Nightchat, the result might have turned out incredibly different.

I wanted to float the idea but thought people would think I was doing so to remove pressure on Lift, which, btw, @GH is the reason I voted for you in the first place (which caught Catte's eye)

I was worried @GH & Catte & Dedo about making the claim after all, but figured a cry of "3rd-party from transylvania as an observer" would have gotten me lunched even faster, and I dreaded some tracker saying "i watched you go to XYZ on N1, so you aren't vanilla!"

I rather regretted NKing gogtrial, as when he came on conversations started kicking up again and the game was more interesting with more chatter (we had enough chatter, to be sure, on some parts of D3, but other parts were easy to keep up with). but it was too late.

@GH I meant every word I said about your play having improved from some games. I'm not saying I'm any better of a player than you, either, because I know I'm not.

Also, yes. Thank you. I do hope that you had an enjoyable Birthday game overall.

You mean you were going for a nolynch?

I got all that, and am appreciative of the compliments and kind words. :)

I did....would've maybe been a bit better had I helped my team win, but there's always next game. :)

No. People brush off your stances because your current reasons are wrong (catte + nmillar posting together; Vitek "stealing" your hammer). Nothing to do with your past style of play.

The specific distribution wouldn't matter. What would matter is that I wouldn't believe you all to have used random.org to pick your house and stick to it, and so your house picks would've been influenced by the house claims that went before. Which most likely would've meant scum spread out over the houses (probably one each for Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, although possibly two in the same house). Both phaolo and microfish had made references like "no Gryffindor would do something like that" on D1, so if either would claim a house other than Gryffindor (based on the distribution before their claims), that'd be suspect, too.

So, house claims themselves wouldn't tell us who was scum, but they'd tell us a lot about who likely wouldn't be scum together, and once we'd finally found one scum, the others could've been easier to identify.
