Killing_You

I feel like I could easily explain this as you feigning ignorance to cover up you two putting some distance between each other. After all, you were arguing hard yesterday, but Chop was both the #1 scum suspect and off of the lynch table. It's a weak case, but it's all I have at the moment. We're stumped

Same could be said for just about everything, really. Nothing has stuck out to me so far... ...except this. @iLikeToSnipe why didn't you open the day with the inhale option, before Chop had a chance to use the warp star? We already knew what it does. Evidence:

Yes, Nomination Mafia, which turned into Escape-The-Room Mafia for whatever reason.

More or less. I'm moving forward with the mindset that there has to have been some bussing in a deliberate attempt to put some distance between the scum team.

I haven't reached any conclusions yet. I'm more or less laying my thoughts out as I go, hoping that I can get some assistance from town.

I've been re-reading the thread, and try as I might, I can't come up with any pairings that make sense in my head. I'm also thinking that, much like the bomb, the 1UP was simply handed out via RNG from the GM. Sorta like items just dropping into play in Smash Bros. Looking at ChopBam from that perspective, and with no logical partner, the case on him being scum more or less crumbles to dust. So then, I start thinking, if it's a lone scum, who could it be? FRAYDO? No, because he's opened masonries with iLikeToSnipe and ChopBam. Most important was his N3 masonry, which means he couldn't have done the nightkill. ChopBam? No, because he roleblocked Louis on N3. iLikeToSnipe? Possible, but highly unlikely. You could make an argument based on the idea that his Mask action is technically an item action rather than a regular action (which would allow him to use the Mask and kill at the same time), but then you consider the fact that he used the Wind Waker. Why would he do this and not try to make a kill? Unless the kill was redirected to him (where I definitely don't think it would land), and he anticipated ChopBam destroying the mask, so he could use that as an excuse as to why there was no Mask activity... I'll have to think on this one a little bit more. Myself? No, because I masoned with FRAYDO N2 and boosted him N3. Mojoman? No, because he roleblocked Shade N1. Louis? No, because she was roleblocked N3. This is, of course, assuming that there's only one scum left. There is a possibility for a team, but I don't think we'll find evidence of them colluding in the thread. If a team does exist, then there's been some bussing here and there.

Trouble is, I'm having a hard time pairing him with anyone. I'll do another big review later. For now, I've got other stuff to do.

Well, I'm out of ideas. Part of me is beginning to wonder if there's only 1 scum left, but it's little more than a gut feeling. I was also going to try and see if there was an iLTS/Chop connection, but with the mask destroyed I'm tossing that out of the window. With that, I'm back to square one.

@Jeod Can you confirm if we're in MYLO?

Eh, fair enough. It was kind of a long shot anyway.

Chop, what does the bomb do?

I disagree. He told me when he was in the gym, which is what led me to think of that third possibility.

Third possibility, but it assumes we have 2 scum left: Scum hit fellow scum thanks to the storm, and perhaps scum cannot kill scum in this game.

No mention in my PM, but since I didn't do anything I wouldn't get it anyway, I suppose

Well, today's full of good news. First I get the job I interviewed for, and now no deaths! Nothing to report on my end.

I was going to wait until day start to clear this up, but I see no harm in doing so now. Since the boost is tied to my masonry, everything's lumped into the one description, and it took me a few reads to fully get it. Basically, since it lasts the entire following day and night phase, it's technically an every other night thing if it works and if I decide not to give them a boost. If I don't mason with anyone on the night that I try (like N1), I can try again the next night. Boosting someone takes hold on the night that the masonry ends, and that tacks on an extra night that I have to wait. So, yes, boosting FRAYDO was my N3 action. So, in a nutshell: N1-Masonry Begins N2-Masonry Ends, No Boost N3-New Masonry Or N1-Masonry Begins N2-Masonry Ends, Boost Applied N3-Cooldown N4-New Masonry

I should never have doubted you.

That's an odd thought, and one that I honestly doubt. In our masonry yesterday, we started off suspecting you and him, but then moved to just seeing him as scum.

Something's not right here. I can't tell if this is the scum team giving up, or what. It feels way too close to hammer for it to be a ploy. It's not enough to move my vote, though. If Cat5 flips town, my sights are going onto iLikeToSnipe. I'm pretty sure everyone will turn on me in that instance. And honestly... part of me is wondering if we only started with 2 scum. That being said, there's not enough time or evidence for me to try to go into a different direction.

I'm still firmly in the camp that the scum team is Cat5/ChopBam. It's the only pairing that makes sense to me. As for FRAYDO, I don't know if it's a test, a momentary lapse in judgement, or both. FRAYDO's still my strongest town read.

I did trust you, and frankly I still do. I'm just having a hard time understanding this lapse in judgement.

Thank you!

(also pardon my absence, but I just got back from an interview)

Excuse me, what? I gave you a boost. Your night action went from 50/50 to 100% because of me. Ask yourself; why would I do that as scum?

I was about to say... that took a dark turn.
