Oh and readslist

Lightning: Practically confirmed scum at this point, given the quickhammer situation.

Bad Mafia Player: I don't like the fact that he's hanging back, but I can't really say that's any more suspicious than anything else going on. This is getting into meta again but hanging back isn't necessarily a bad thing in this setup due to its inherent town-leaning balance. Mafia have more reason to be active in order to swing that balance in their favor.

DSwift/TOWK: Replaced players are hard to read because their playstyle changes so drastically in the middle of the game. Given DSwift's actions I still think Lighting / TOWK is the most likely scum pairing.

Danny: Pretty much the same story as BMP, but with higher highs and lower lows. He's had some odd reactions here and there, but has also been asking more pertinent questions than BMP. He'd be second in my list of likely pairings for Lightning.

Quoting is hard from my phone so I won't bother but @Lightning I "killed" you because you were the most active person at the time and knew I would get a faster response.

I didn't really care about everyone's reads I just wanted everyone in the game to post before my next post to see if they'd try to hammer the townie. And seeing as no one voted I'm more confident in my reads. One of semicolon or lightning is pretty much confirmed scum and I'm much more inclined to believe it's lightning.

Vote: Lightning

EBWOP but again @Lightning even if I just didn't get if that first reaction to the kill was a joke, every time you posted before my next one you asked for an explanation as to why I singled you out, which doesn't sit right with me

Well, there you go guys. They couldn't quickhammer me because you two (Doq and Danny) wisely refrained from throwing out your votes so now they've decided to double team me in an attempt to let their sheer numbers over me influence your judgement in deciding who is right. At this point, it's pretty clear to me that the scum team is Semicolon and DSwift/TOWK. Notice how they use the EXACT same logic in voting me?

Sure, I've yet to be quickhammered, but that just means no one else who is town is falling for the "LIGHTNING WASN'T QUICKHAMMERED, MUST BE SCUM!" bait. You two, as the mafia team, decided to use that above logic to try and get a bandwagon started on me, simply because quickhammering isn't possible without a town vote thrown into the mix.

If you would like another example of eerily similar mindsets, take a look at these parts of their posts:

It could be coincidence, but both have said something along the lines of "That TOWK/Semicolon guy IS suspicious and likely scum, but I'm gonna vote Lightning because reasons." If you don't see it yet, the very things that they found me suspicious for (WIFOM, bussing, etc.) are used to fuel their arguments reasons for voting me.

Doq. Danny. It's up to you guys now. The choice isn't a hard one to make but it's the most important one in the game.

1. Hammer me and lose the game to the scum who weren't even trying to be subtle with their attacks on an innocent person, or 2. vote either one of those players and win the game.

Anything else Semicolon and TOWK say from now on is just fluff to try to convince you to take their side. They've made their mistake of setting me up from the beginning to take the lynch on the final day, and I think they should at least take responsibility for it.


Well, I've said my piece.

I have full confidence that you two will make the right decision.

I never said I thought Semicolon was suspicious. All I said is one of you is scum. I don't have a scumread on him like I do on you.

Why are you not voting one of us?

Game status:

Voting Lightning: Semicolon, TOWK (L-1)
Not voting: Lightning, Bad Mafia Player, Danny

Deadline: Aug 5th, 12:00 GMT -4
With 5 players alive, 3 votes are needed to cast a lynch
If the deadline is reached with no consensus, a random lynch will happen.

Why hasn't there been a quickhammer yet?

The WIFOM is strong in this game, but f*** it.

Vote: Lightning

Did we lose

A decision has been reached. Twilight phase starts now.

Man that felt grimey. Sorry for putting you through that Lightning.

GG town, props to Danny for being a great partner.

f*** everything man I quit

Cheers Doq, you did the job for me.
The only reason there wasn't a quickhammer straightaway was because I was at school when this all happened.

And yeah, sorry Lightning. I really felt the scummy part for sitting there and watching you die.

Damnit.

GG everyone.

Gonna grind on Town of Salem until I get better
