I think Occam's razor would indicate Seven is more likely lying town than any manipulation going on. And if I were to accept on faith everyone else's opinion about Fred being town (any read I have of him is likely to be contaminated by what I think of him not showing his reads), my solve would be {...

Regarding extension: Madge and Fred won’t be available at deadline and I don’t think I will be either. I’ll also be absent tomorrow.

Fred, Thea and I have already requested bessie’s claim. Could everyone else do so in their next post?

JC: I'm reading through your case around Seven and is your position that Seven baited Wam into claiming that Seven was a VT in order to give Seven credibility as a VT? What? I really don't understand. Okay, so you clarify that Seve nis scum godfather in your situation, then all this makes sense I g...

Is this a slippity slip, Thea?

JC. I’m about 97% sure he’s a hit.

Quick mostly-distracted thoughts: I feel like JC is probably Town here. His play just feels so disconnected from everyone else it's really hard for me to believe he is actually paired with someone. Santy is kind of a toss-up for me. I really like their content D3 and they come across as very authen...

I'm seeing it as town wam and scum seven, Seven being godfather and needing Wam to counterclaim and confirm his result to everybody, and not just a soft claim. Is it a lock? Nope. I just feel stronger about this than the other wagons. For the record, a Godfather would not show up as "Vanilla T...

The way I see it, starting from her lie about believing openly voting to extend the day was unfair I'm not sure why you believe I lied about disagreeing with public votes for deadline extensions. I believe the possibility of extending the phase is necessary. I stated that here: That being said, the...

Tbh I dont see the relation or 'scum' approach to picking uo a PR soft and feeling a need to 'town them up'. Doesnt make sense? Like, why? You are right in that the post when they claimed to be waiting for mod confirmation on something was PR indicative, and thats about it? You can see my progressi...

Can you answer the following three questions? 1) Do you believe Wam is town based on his claim or otherwise? 2) Do you believe his results are legitimate / non-manipulated? 3) Do you agree with the town slips from Madge and Fred? If not, which steps in the reasoning do you think either of them fall...

Bessie, requesting your claim.

Wam : Pretty confident on Wam being town. Their entrance to the game was one of the townier post that striked me when reading up, just from a perspective approach, I dont see scum having those reads / nuance that were spicy and not doing much with them. And the more I think about it the repeated na...

@Fred I’ve been thinking about it and I think it’s essential that we have your claim.

Seven wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 12:50 am @Thea what do you think of Madge’s slip in the world where Wam is scum

Can you answer this before day end in case you die and we don't have your voice.

Ok.

Is it that you made up a reason after being asked and didn't think it through fully?

That's not the only advantage, no. There are others I can see but I don't think there's any value in discussing optimal strategies for mafia. You don't have to say the other advantages, but can you state that removing false positives for Wam isn't actually an advantage? Otherwise it will drive me c...

I don't think there is a doctor, but I also don't think it changes the point (actually I think EGW was the doctor, such as it is, but perhaps I'll be proven wrong by one of the remaining claimants). There is no value in claim WIFOM at this stage. I mean it completely nullifies your point. You're sa...

Town power roles are false positives for Wam. The net benefit of being able to secure clear results outweighs the value of any PR remaining not claiming. The logic here isn't right. If there was a doctor, they would have been on EGW last night. I don't think there is a doctor, but I also don't thin...

Actually, I'd consider it essential that we get a full claim from everyone today. Why? Town power roles are false positives for Wam. The net benefit of being able to secure clear results outweighs the value of any PR remaining not claiming. The logic here isn't right. If there was a doctor, they wo...
