This is the post where JOH decides to stick with Roy instead of changing to me. On the one hand it looks good because, obviously, this is where a scum lynch is decided over a townie lynch. And, if adam is indeed scum, then it's clear that the scum team was making a concerted push to save Roy. If jackofhearts is also bad, then this is just him raising his middle finger at his teammates. I suppose it's possible. This move gives him all the townie points in the world, so if he's bad he can assume he's gonna skate through to the end because of it.
I'll continue to lean town on him.

I also am still leaning town on Jay in spite of my most tinfoiled efforts. I would fully expect MP to have ID'd me on Night 1 as the cop and the lack of skepticism he expressed about me when he showed up Day 2 goes in line with a positive ID. Jay similarly has been leading the Sloonei Is Town parade since he took over, and the way he defended me when the counterpush started up yesterday looks genuine.

I think this is a reasonable paranoia for a town vig to have. How do others feel about it?

In my reread, it has come to my attention that DescrtuctoBoy (town) was a misdirector. We also have The Darkstone (???) claiming to be a misdirector. Earlier somebody said that it's common for both sides to have a misdirector. Is it common for town to have 2 misdirectors to scum's 0? Or is "misdirector" different enough from "bus driver" that this irrelevant?

It's not unheard of for the town to have both a misdirector and a busdriver/pusher, just like it's not uncommon to have both a tracker and a reverse tracker. The powers are different enough in practice.

Ugh. Accidentally deleted my response to this.

Basically, it's both reasonable for a townie and convenient for a goon. I don't get anything off it. A KJ kill separate from the mafia one tonight would be helpful.

Agreed with Quebbster on the town misdirector prospects. DS's claim is a one that does not stick out as immediately false. It's also one of the last claims, so it's easy for him to lie about if he is lying.

I wavered only slightly, but it was more to do with increased confidence that adam is bad rather than decreased confidence in IR. I like the one point you made in your big Raven ISO post before this one where he claims to have protected you Night 1 after doing nothing but proclaim you as his top suspect (despite being silent) for the entirety of Day 1. That is a bad look.

SHUT UP!!!

Adam is the clear top choice to be lynched today. IR is still clearly #2 behind him but I see more room for him to be town than adam at this point, so I want to continue talking to/about him for longer if we can.

Darkstone's acceptance of the town cred given to him by Jay despite knowing that it was not genuine is suspect, but I didn't hate his explanation of it. He's been a very null read all game, but he's done a couple things the last few phases that were mildly alarming.

Killing Joke probably shouldn't be totally dismissed as a suspect but at this point I think he's unlikely to be scum. Wouldn't hurt to continue prodding him.

To my knowledge, JoH is the only player left without a role claim in the thread. I am not saying he needs to claim at this moment (I hope he doesn't), but this is something I want us all to be conscious of moving forward.

I claimed to be a busdriver.

Supposing he's telling the truth, is it plausible for there to be a third misdirecting role on the scum team?

I'm a little disappointed adamical hasn't posted at all today. That's not a reason not to lynch him though.

It's possible. It's also possible Darkstone is in fact a Mafia busdriver trying to protect himself.

I think we're about to lynch the scum roleblocker/jailkeeper/whatever. That should open the door for night action coordination. Raven, if you're not scum then you can protect me to allow another ID through.

If I don't make it through Night 4 for whatever reason, I need y'all to be vigilant thereafter. Victory is well within reach but the game can be blown on laziness. Stay engaged.

Could you please state who your targets have been in every night phase?
