ChopBam

Here's one problem: Somebody killed Verti on N1. This entire time I assumed it wasn't Orange, because I had RB'd him, and Mojoman has an alibi. This means someone else, likely iLTS, KY, or Cat5 did the kill. KY has an alibi with a masonry or something, yes? Does iLTS forcing the mask onto Nodlied count as an alibi? If so, I am tempted to revisit the idea of Louis having unroleblocked Orange's kill attempt, although Louis has been reading to me as earnest and truthful this entire time. She doesn't have the vibe of a newbie scum.

If you scroll up you will see I am not absolutely confident. But if iLTS is town, then he has been very poor town this game.

In all honesty I see you as the next NK victim, FRAYDO, because you're the one remaining person whom nobody seems to be suspicious of. If we lynch Cat5 today and he flips mafia and the game continues, I am happy to be the next lynch target since we may be able to afford it. I'm trying to reason in my mind who his living scummate would be, however. The only possibiliy I can think of would be Mojoman.

Is there a case for Category 5 besides being flim flam regarding me between D3 and D4?

iLTS/KY: "I'll bet ChopBam won't vote for Cat5!" Cat5: "I'll bet ChopBam won't vote for Louis!" Even if you guys managed to manipulate me into joining your vote, you'd find some other excuse to lynch me tomorrow. That's how blinders work.

Well FRAYDO what do you think?

I think I'm pretty committed at this point, but there is always a seed of doubt. It's the 100%ers that get me.

Also, it's exactly the sort of mind games and mental gymnastics I'd expect from you if I voted for Category 5. Therefore there's no point.

Unlike you, I don't have 100% confidence in everything.

For a moment I thought you were getting at something else.

Wait what?

Just another clever gambit. If you're town however, you're playing really bad town this round. But I don't think that's the case.

It's shit like this. The game's not over yet and you're playing the whole buddy-buddy-with-town-gg-guys thing.

If I vote for Cat5, what sort of mental gymnastics will you guys do to convince yourselves I'm still scum? Because no matter what happens or how this game progresses, I must be scum. iLTS is betting on that, since he is aware that with the 1-Up and today's lynchproof, and the possibility of being NK'd is just a lol, the general public will not know my alignment until it's likely too late.

If this is how you're thinking right now, then you really know nothing about my meta.

You just literally made me laugh. Nice work.

Did I hit a nerve?

I actually have no problems seeing Cat5 lynched, because it's certainly possible he's scum, but not for the reasons you've stated. I do have a problem with the Cat5-is-ChopBam's-scum-partner narrative, and so I'm looking for the origin of the stink.

Just read through D2. KY has a soft defend on Orange. And still soft defending Orange.... although to be perfectly fair he is arguing with Shade, so the benefit of the doubt is proper. Really not sure how I feel about this. If it's a gambit it's clever. GM confirms TheIlikeToSnipeMan did get a night action in. This is the first time any of us heard of a 1-Up mushroom, except me who received it on N1. I have the sneaking suspiction that iLTS himself knew about it. He even hinted that he knows how the mechanics work. The 1-Up does cause the player to "respawn" on the next day. Pretty strong evidence Mojoman and iLTS are not teamed together.

Oh right, it was FRAYDO in a masonry with him, yeah? And you never claimed to be in a masonry with iLTS. This makes the case of a KY-iLTS team relatively stronk, actually.

Wait a minute, I've gotta go back and see what Louis claimed. I am awake much sooner than normal.

Here's a possibility for N1: what if Louis unroleblocked OrangeP47's kill?

But wait, if KY and iLTS are in a masonry together...........

Alright I went back to D1 and here are my observations. Looking at voting patterns is a good way to hunt scum. Orange did a "soft defend" on Irish. Orange did a "soft defend" on Killing You. FRAYDO seems extremely unlikely to be paired with scum. This was a serious vote, and combined with his other posts he's probably very last on my list. Mojoman is unlikely to be paired with KY. I hope we're making you proud now @Retaliation Now these posts are interesting. Since we were down to the last hour, votes were critical at this point and nobody had a strong lead. Therefore I will submit that Orange was unlikely to be paired with Mojoman. No longer can I really say I fully trust KY. If there were three scum to start with, he's likely our last guy. See how hard he pushed Mojoman the next day, and quite well I must say. I will need to revisit Day 2 to remind myself how that went. IRL was a whirlwind for me during that time.

Right now I trust your character but not your judgment.
