Thoughts on the above couple of posts?

First thing that sticks out is Lethal’s hesitation to vote Hunk despite having that read on her first life.

That interaction with Sky is interesting for two reasons: 1 because they have these weird interactions most games they play together, and 2 because it’s far tamer than usual and Lethal kinda drops it. A town Lethal would have just barked on Sky using meta to defend herself. Lethal generally hates that.

So the question becomes just scum Lethal backing down to avoid a scene in the thread like can sometimes happen when he pressures Sky too hard or is their collusion there?

The other problem is Lethal is used the Ekko excuse that got him busted later to excuse away his suspicions of Sky.

Then Sky voting Lethal could be the icing on the cake, since Lethal was at that point in hot water.

This complicates things because I think there’s more to look into with Sky, but Junk’s reaction to me just asking her to start posting and we’d give her a fresh start feels odd if she’s town to me and then add in Lethal’s play around her.

As my trusted town circle I obviously would like your thoughts too when you’re about

i havent been reading, really busy

i see no reason to keep junk alive any longer. they arent doing themselves any favors

guess ill unblock ekko now

arent u dead m8

 

[Ekkologix]

lethal scum read junk but chose to vote me anyway who he didnt really scum read until after
totally digged a grave for himself

i have no idea what was he thinking

I’m fine leaving Magic for reasons Poyser stated. We don’t want to out the bodyguard so we should leave claims off the table unless we’re actually voting to lynch.

And honestly, while I think some people might dip a bit if they roll scum, I don’t think Magic been around at all or he’d at least post something by now.

arent u dead m8

repped in for blaine/ace

 

[Smart Marx]

In for Blaine now.

Someone drew my attention to the flipped scum's hesitancy around Magic.

And you're probably going to ask about Junk so here's a difference to examine

Lethal1


Lethal2


Is willing to put null Ekko first over big red scumster Junk in between lives. He's not exactly shy to lay into Junk but priority has changed

This is a good point. I think Ekko was becoming his scapegoat.

Which is funny he did it with you and Junk, but it can’t be both of you.

repped in for blaine/ace

perfect, from ur PoV if u r town u shud wanna yeet junk

im game for that lynch

 

[Smart Marx]

He could have just kept junk as scum because he knew he had her scum as V1, he always prioritised Ekko first over junk tho. Could be because he was buddying you tho idk

Was he prioritizing Ekko in life one over Junk?

That might be clear things up a bit. Looks worse for Sky.

 

[Comrade Khan]

perfect, from ur PoV if u r town u shud wanna yeet junk

im game for that lynch

yup, that's my preferred direction today.

 

[Ekkologix]

Which means I think there’s probably 1 scum in Doddsy and sky

thats basically only if magic is town

id say first we resolve the scum in blain/junk (leaning junk)
then magic
then scum in sky/doddsy (leaning doddsy)

so junk doddsy last 2 mafia alive wud be my guess
