Great work, team. Save for Louis and myself, you all placed your votes on Cat5 and removed someone who has supposedly been "soft-defending" ChopBam. If we thought one of the remaining scum had to be either Mojoman or Louis, I was going to bet Louis after all. Louis leaving her vote in Mojoman implies them not being on the same team, and Cat5 leaving his vote on Louis as his top read does not look good on her. However, after consideration, she must be clear. To support this claim, this takes us back to when ChopBam cleared her and she in turn cleared him, yet the NK still happened. As far as I am concerned, this is now the truth. Neither were responsible. iLTS has claimed he forced ChopBam to keep the mask that night, and ChopBam has claimed back that the mask would not move away from him. This interaction must check out then. ChopBam performed his action on Louis, and iLTS performed his action on ChopBam. The NK still happened. With all of these actions and claims listed as they are, this now tells me all three are clear and none of the mentioned persons could have done it. This leaves our two remaining scum then, Mojoman and Killing_You. - Mojoman, who has so been largely overlooked due to this vanilla role. We have to consider his supposed day kill attempt on iLTS much earlier in the game. We don't know it was a daykill though for certain, as the hammer could have been just a vote block. Whatever the case, we can safely cross out the possibility of the two being on the same team. Back to the point of being overlooked, I'm to rightly assume no one has been checking on him throughout the nights either so he has been safely scumming under the radar. I believe I did get the result I was looking for. You didn't follow my vote on Killing_You. - Killing_You, the gym trainer who was unable to contact Vert N1 and has successfully visited me N2. I'm to assume the N2 action is his alibi for that night, but he has none for N3 since he already opened the masonry with me N2. If the boost of my ability was in fact his N3 action though, then the case is dropped altogether. His cooldown is quite dubious though, I must admit. He has now claimed he cannot do anything again until N5, which is a huge gap between then and N2. A note for Killing_You. To reiterate, if the N3 boost was your night action then my case on you is dropped. You would then have to convince me that iLTS is scum. Having been in masonry with both of you, I had full confidence in both of you. These town reads are no longer valid. One of you has to be scum. If it's not you, then it must be one you intend to set your sights on. This should go without saying, but make a good case and I would be confident to say to you that not everyone would turn on you. I hate to put the burden on you, but you'll have to fight for this one to avoid the lynch. Recall that you'll have my support if you put up a good enough case. Oh yeah, it's all coming together. Of course, I could be totally and completely wrong. Until tomorrow, let's review the order of voting this day and try to determine when and where scum took this golden opportunity to lynch someone that could have protected himself by roleblocking anyone who targeted him.

I may join you in this, unless of course iLTS gets the Warp Star next

All a test. ##unvote What do you mean by this?

If I'm thinking of you as Town, you trusted me and I thank you for it. If I'm thinking of you as Scum, you gained Townie points and we are certain to vouch for each other. The real gamble here is this: who is going to jump on my vote here? I'm only one vote, after all, and it can be left at that.

Louis was blocked by Chop, iLTS forced the mask back onto Chop, and Cat5 has claimed self-roleblocker. Mojoman is just Mojoman. I can only feel comfortable with this vote, and I feel bad because I believe we both had trust in one another. However, his flip may help straighten out my suspicions of others. ##vote Killing_You I expect a Rapier in my possession by tomorrow. It's not the Master Sword, but it will do. The Wind Waker is still in iLTS' possession, after all. I say this only because Cat5 was looking for it earlier today. Why would that be?

N2 he opened a masonry with me through his action, yes. N1 his claim was attempting said masonry with Verti. If we assume that moving the mask was the night action and not an item action, then yes. Otherwise he could not have performed the NK and move the mask in one night.

Would you consider KY over iLTS?

@ChopBam You are absolutely confident in your vote on iLTS? If I am to follow your vote and he flips Town, you understand you are going to hammered beyond reasonable doubt? That Warp Star can't save you again, although I hope whoever it flies to isn't scum.

This took me much longer than I would like to admit in figuring out who the hell this was parodying.

Several things are on my mind. I'm more and more convinced you are Town, but your possession of the 1Up is too significant to just look over. If I am to take you as Town, I have to really convince myself that the 1Up was indeed just given to you randomly, but that just can't be. If you didn't murder Verti he must have passed it to you and that was his mechanic of doctoring at work (i.e. if you were the victim of the NK that 1Up would have saved you). The fact that you claim you cannot pass it though disproves that theory entirely, and I'm still having a hard time taking it at your word that it was just put in your inventory. You also have not claimed to have just started with it either, or I would have accepted that statement at face value. Today you have done a good job of taking away my confidence in you as Scum, but in responding to the questioning of the 1Up you're just so shifty. Seeing iLTS and KY placing their vote on Cat5 worries me. Cat5 has convinced me with his role claim that he is Town, though my masonry buddies must want me to follow their vote and cast mine on Cat5 anyway. I just can't do it. They both really can't be the remaining scum, can they? Cat5 is all over the place with his votes, and while today I gained more confidence in him he is certainly taking away less and less before I have even finished this post. Mojoman and Louis. Mojoman has to be Town. A player of dubious reputation in this game since D1, now left with nothing as a Vanilla role, and yet a target of opportunity all the same, I can't help but think his uselessness is rather useful for Scum. It's just too easy to vote him off, but why waste the NK on him when he has claimed Vanilla and no items. Louis. If I'm to believe ChopBam is scum, then Louis is scum. With my current thinking now going to a Town ChopBam, and whether or not this is manipulation at its finest, I'm now thinking Louis is really Town. Paranoia is a hell of a drug.

HAVE I BEEN IN MASONRY WITH THE SCUM TEAM THIS WHOLE TIME

Your defense? @Mojoman

If only that luck would have went into my hook actions as well. I feel we would have learned much more had RNG helped me out there. Despite that, both you and iLTS took up for me where my actions failed so thanks! Now you’re talking! The fight isn’t over until the very end. Cast away the defeatist attitude of “let me kill myself so I can prove I am Town” and keep fighting the good fight with your defense, cross-examination and guts. Keep it up.

You see the thing is, I have never claimed KY as my proof as townie. I am as unverified as you are. I’ve only made better interactions for them to have trust in me. Now then, where does your vote go?

I cannot get behind any lynch that isn’t ChopBam. I am willing to wait for him to come back and have him lynched outright tomorrow than mislynch today.

Sorry, masonry pal. I wanted to hear some thoughts on this possibility. What do we think of a Chop/iLTS scum team? Both would have to be playing very good scum to be pulling this off as they may be now.

##unvote Something still doesn’t sit right. I’m thinking Chop’s clearing of her was a ploy to gain a townie on his side. Whatever angle I’m looking at, ChopBam is undoubtedly scum.

Should Cat5 be lynched, I want the world and Fódlan to know that Edelgard did nothing wrong. *Fire Emblem fluff post

The two who have trust in me are welcome to change their votes. I am currently on the Chop/Louis scum team.

Despite the suspicions in my masonry with iLTS, I am now feeling more confident in Cat5. ##vote Louis

But Louis is town, right? So in your statement, this then points to you being teamed with Cat5. Right? Or is she not town? Enlighten us.

God, that cat meme is so old. I was still in high school at the time

I wouldn't define it as a safe lynch. Today you're more the easy lynch, with ChopBam and Cat5 pushing for it. My mason pal suggests there is a hint of coordination between the two and we may have discovered the scum team. Being that ChopBam is unable to be voted, I am leaning toward Cat5 for today's vote. I imagine it will come down to Mojo or him today.

If at the end of this game we find the DK thing was a GM thing to toy with us, my disappointment will be immeasurable and my day would be ruined.
