Currently we have Arete, PKR, gorta, and Appel on the table.
lemon
I think lemon is scum here, most importantly for their vote on PKR first thing today with the note “gg town” - i really cant see this as anything else than an invitation for scum to vote similarly. Why would anyone vote so quickly on something they realize is simply “you’re the only one i dont have a read on” and not take the vote down after their positions have softened?
I dont see much point debating this, we kill lemon tmrw if we survive tonight.
Up until EoD4, the point totals of these indivduals should be:
Arete - 10 + 1 - 5 + 1 - 2 + 1 +1 = 7
Gorta - 10 - 5 + 1 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 6
PKR - 10 - 5 = 5
Appel - 10 - 5 + 1 = 6
And if scum did their check, they would’ve and could’ve checked d2: of the 4 above, all except appel acted n2, but light also did not act, so from there scum is exactly appel or light did the check.
None of the above can votesteal, so they couldnt have just won by votestealing.
Possible contingency points for each individual, at least for me:
arete
- NKA - 2 individuals that did/could have read them as scum is dead, and they are alive as probably the strongest player
- Strawman - they fiercely defended themselves last night, but went to lengths to represent me/gorta’s views as negative, which usually does not come from a logical individual like arete.
- Mole push - their initial suspicion + argument on mole were not as stably founded as other previous ones.
gorta
- Questionable vote - they voted, near last-minute, on moleland with absolutely 0 explanation at the time.
- Quick agreements - throughout the game, regardless of the geniuneness of my scumread on arete, gorta has consistently been quite enthusiastic about pursuing it.
PKR
- NKA - Surge is indeed the only individual that extremely strongly scumread PKR.
- Refusal to cooperate with points - they have acted independently in terms of purchasing votes, which would potentially have confirmed him if he had followed the plans. He went to lengths to argue that he had purchased a triplevote when he hadn’t.
- Inactivity - when Light/Arete was being voted on, they were absent, completely away from the thread.
Appel/Eli
- …I really don’t have anything that comes to mind here
Arete #1 and 3 are excusable to scum tactics/personal mishap
Gorta #1 has been explained, although not extremely fully.
PKR #1 is excusable to scum tactics, and PKR #3 isn’t even a valid argument; if it is, it’s an argument for their towniness.
So at this point, looking at the current evidence, I have the above order as greatest/least likely to be scum. If anyone has additional arguments (or any for Appel, help), please respond
unrelated quesiton
do any of you ever have the feeling where you think “wow i would be a god if I was doing this as scum right now”
