[VFM] Cursed Images JOAT9 - D5 - Town win!

[Luxy]

The only team that makes sense is you.

[Luxy]

Also theres no way James would pick up on the JOAT soft change my mind

[Arete]

I get why that makes sense to literally everyone else but I’m trying to actually solve the game here and YRINE but I know I’m town.

[SetToBlow]

Merc knew they were JOAT

[Alice]

So here’s pretty much what the VC was at its height yesterday.

Lock-town
Townread
Flipped W

Vote Count

Voted	Voters	Votes
Mercenary	Luxy, Alice, SetToBlow, Red_Sea	4/5
James	Arete, H_Hja, Datbird	2/5
SetToBlow	Mercenary	1/5
None	James	1/5

Pretty sure at this point that it’s either Arete or Hjasik. James is basically lock-town from mechanics.

STB and Luxy had very not W/W interactions with Merc. Don’t think it’s Red here considering that the way James’ wagon was made it was a clear attempt at saving Merc.

[Alice]

@Luxy

Hja (Pushed and Hammered Scum Claiming JOAT)

Can we just stop clearing Hja for bullshit reasons like this? They never had any meaningful interactions with Merc until she got CC’d by Dat and that’s when she’d always by lynched either way.

This shit’s why I wanted Dat to jail Hja as you all are clearing her by meta reasons that she broken in past games.

[SetToBlow]

Arete still has been scummy in defenses and shifts, though.

I think Arete should be lynched first, then Hja.

[SetToBlow]

That being, assuming the consensus is wrong.

[Alice]

@Mercenary

Arete/Dat seem to be interacting a lot indirectly too
Dat is concerned with Arete’s image, Arete is concerned on the public opinion of STB
I could see them as a scum pair as well, but I should focus less on scumpairs and more on solo reads. I think.

Tried looking into Merc’s posts to see their interactions with Arete/Hja to see which is the most likely wolf in the pairing. In general it looks worse for Arete being that she repeatedly hedges on them and ties them with a flipped V for no reason.

@Mercenary

He is on the fence
then is told not to sit on the fence
Then shifts his fence to an accusation instead of townread, where I think he simply wanted to look like he was doing work
/vote STB
Not that confident on it because 1h into d1 lol but it is the best vote I have so dar

Like, in between Merc/STB both getting into a decently heated argument and then she randomly piling her vote on with her scum meta in mind of never distancing bussing thinking STB’s technically in the Luxy level of clear despite being the third vote on them.

@Mercenary

Furthermore, her reads are awful and wishywashy. Any townreads she’s made shes backtracked on: keeping her options open. She scumreads me yet sheeps me on Set and agree with my points. Surely townies don’t sheep their scumreads. She harps on about my joke vote on Alice even though there was no one in thread at the time I posted it, and is scumreading me for my eagerness to play like what? Her progression is almost non-existant and she just randomly calls people scum and then renegs on it when it doesn’t work.

This entire paragraph is so awful and full of lies.
No, I have backtracked my scumread in Dat and now I townread him. I backtracked Arete from slightly scum to “no opinion”.
I agree with your points because I think the entire interaction set is faked. It is almost like I didn’t keep saying this.
I always provided reason on my scumreads. It was never. Random.

Looks way worse, tbh. ATP looks like a weak attempt at distancing instead trying to shade a wolfy villager.

@Mercenary

actually people are scumreading you due to your very old meta.

It’s pretty much why I want people to stop meta’ing Hja this and every game as they’ve already broken it hard in the past and they are very well aware of it.

Kind of the extent of Merc’s interactions with Arete/Hja. Interactions with Arete look worse than with Hja.

[James]

Sorry for being offline, friend’s birthday .

[SetToBlow]

All good.

Now that you’re here, what are your thoughts on the pushes on Arete and the general suspicion of Hja?

[James]

I haven’t read back yet.
Where does that begin?

[SetToBlow]

Round about post 900, right after Luxy votes Arete.

[SetToBlow]

/vote Arete feeling more confident about this now. The reasoning’s been pretty solid and the defense has been pretty weak.

[James]

Read back.
Arete’s scrambling.

[Arete]

I’m just confused, James being evil explains everything including the weird VCA from my point of view but if Alice is right I’m legitimately confused about who the hell the last Mafia is. Is there any chance Dat decided to JK someone different?

also my plane is about to take off, won’t be on in-air for obvious reasons

[Arete]

I just don’t understand if James is town why Merc never voted him, it doesn’t make sense.

[Arete]

@James

After I get lynched, who are you going to want to be the next lynch?
