@Lunatic
Oh, and the reason I wanted your fullclaim was basically just because of what WF brought up DP1 -- you had been online, but not said anything, which I found to be very sus. I backed down after considering what Pie said about having too many roles revealed DP1, which I found to be reasonable.

@JoeBob
I find it scummy but I don’t think it’s confirming he’s scum. Last game I think it was? He didn’t pay attention to his pm and didn’t notice he was turned into a vanilla. 
Suffice it to say it's a secondary reason for my sussing him, though the difference between last game and this game is that, in the former, he submitted night actions and just didn't check to see whether they were successful (which would have told him they weren't), while in the latter, he mixed up key details that would have been spelled out verbatim in a PM he'd have received several days ago. 

as for the vig kill, I’d prefer not to say when im gonna use it, but it’s soon.
Not expecting you to state it. I'm just stating what I think you should do.

This narrative of a mistake getting out of control lmao...there is quite literally no difference in the beginning or end of construction that would deviate town from scum in a theme analysis. I still haven't seen any major behavioral read to indicate me as scummy. It's a lot of "I'll get to it" and nothin else. The fact my two biggest scumreads are agreeing with such little reasoning just makes me more likely to believe scum is either one of them

My two biggest scum reads at the moment are Casey and JoeBob

Casey is my primary suspect. Casey seems to be banwagoning on certain players logic and seems to be on any lynch train. He was one of the main proponents of lynching Wylted, who ended up flipping town. That's an easy mislynch for mafia and he was the spearhead of that lynch. Not to mention the fact that a vanilla claim is "safe." I think it's a lil suspicious that there is only 1 vanilla in this game (depending what Owen_T claims). Just seems like his logic is buddying on mislynches to try and win the game

JoeBob is my secondary suspect. My role definitely doesn't CC's him but having a indirect vig with a direct vig is pretty murky from my point of view. Not to mention I think he has about the same level of activity as I do and was on the lynch train of Wylted (correct me if I'm wrong, this could change my analysis). A lot of it is shallow and his activity this DP is light compared to others. 

I am going to wait for Owen_T's claim before I decipher anything or make a vote

Lurking is inherently scummy. To be give benefit of the doubt though, the site usually has a 5-10 min window of "online" before setting the status to away

Also I know I had a FoS on Moozer but after looking at the game and seeing the claimed roles, I think I'm more inclined to believe Moozer depending on what Owen-T claims. If Owen_T does claim an affil investigative, this draw some pressue to Moozer IMO. But for now I have to put Moozer in the lean town

I genuinely don't know why I am being sussed so hard for wanting Wylted to be lynched. It's usually beneficial for the town to lynch someone DP1, and it seemed like there was a really decent chance that he was scum, and he was clearly deadweight anyway. Also, I only jumped on your wagon to put you at L-2 to help pressure you into claiming as soon as you logged on. I wasn't going to lynch you before you claimed.

People are suspicious of pushing inactives because if you are scum, it's essentially a free mislynch because you can always just make the argument of "well he's inactive." Lynching someone in Dp1 is obviously beneficial and I agree, but it is also beneficial to see who was on the lynch for DP2. If he was inactive normally you wait for a replacement or something else
Also, I only jumped on your wagon to put you at L-2 to help pressure you into claiming as soon as you logged on. I wasn't going to lynch you before you claimed.
Your suspicion of me is technically a wagon. The vote doesn't draw me off. Whiteflame is the the driver of my suspicion and you seem to hop on that wagon using weak role analysis to back it up. That's what I mean by wagon

Not the point. The mistake in timing is the point, which you’ve already acknowledged is a valid reason to sus you. It was pretty flagrant, and your defense of it is kind of absurd. You seem stuck on a few side issues I mentioned that I’ve admitted were weak reasons to sus you. 

I still haven't seen any major behavioral read to indicate me as scummy.
Already mentioned the decision to sus Moozer as concerning. Just because you’re backtracking on that now doesn't change that. I do think both the people you’re sussing make sense based on where things are at and your claim at least.

Like I said, you're overanalyzing a very simple mistake that does not mean anything. Beginning or end, why does it inherently matter? You haven't given a good reason as to why it matters. Answer, it doesn't.

It's a theory obviously, but if Owen claims or flips an affil confirming investigative, you wouldn't sus out Moozer. I back tracked because he was the only one claimed, not because I wanted to confirm. Moozer goes more into my scum pile at that point. Pretty basic-ish mafia logic

See, it’s pushback like this that makes me more solid in my sussing of you. You know you fucked up. You have said so - that your claimed year is several years off from the specific event. Timing matters because no one else has done that. Moozer could potentially have claimed the start of building the Colosseum, and if he had listed its competition date along with it, I’d be sussing both of you right now. It matters because it’s wrong, plain and simple, and I don’t think someone who had their claim in writing for multiple days and knows about this particular structure, as you clearly do, makes that mistake.

So now it depends on Owen’s claim… but not since Moozer’s in your scum pile as the only affiliation indicative informational claim on the table. You keep flipping on this, since you said he was a town lean 20 minutes ago. Nothing’s changed.

Point taken, but you're overlooking the fact that I only really started pushing Wylted late in the DP when it became clear that it was either him or no one. I wasn't eager to lynch him specifically as much as I was trying to just get a lynch in general. My first choice had actually been Luna, for reasons I already explained, but I backed off when he got on and claimed.

Your suspicion of me is technically a wagon. The vote doesn't draw me off. Whiteflame is the the driver of my suspicion and you seem to hop on that wagon using weak role analysis to back it up.
It's not just Whiteflame. Pie also sussed you, more than any other living player, and asked us to follow up on his leads. I'm respecting his wishes. Also, I agree with you that it's somewhat unlikely that both your role and JoeBob's would both exist in this game, and I think JoeBob is more likely to be town. That makes you my most suspicious player atm.

I said 537. That's the date. I didn't make that mistake. I'm not gonna keep arguing this because this is inherently nit picking and looking to force a lynch. There is no reason for this to be a scum tell

Yeah... I'm not arguing this with you anymore at this point. You know where you messed up and you admitted to it, but now you're suddenly claiming that you didn't make a mistake. This seems to just be your thing this DP, so whatever. Whenever Owen comes on and posts his claim, I'll address my other reasons for sussing you.

I'm not saying I didn't make a mistake. I'm just saying it's such a minuet mistake that effects NOTHING about the game or my behavior

For a lynch or to pressure for a claim?
I only voted for Wylted at all when it became clear that he was the only realistic lynch option.

He only sus'd based on a claim. Why are you hard buddying Pie? He could be equally as wrong as he could be wrong
Yeah, he could be wrong, but nothing is ever certain in this game. The point is, Pie was town, which means his read on you was genuine, and frankly I agreed with his reasoning. Also, you're pivoting from 'you only were on my wagon because Whiteflame was, that's sus' to 'actually, you're budding Pie'. Have you considered that I might just genuinely agree with other players? Honestly, I feel like you're just pressing me because you're scum and know that I'm the most suspected player other than you, so it only makes sense for you to push me for a lynch. It's what I would do.

Actually, I misremembered. I did vote for him earlier and tagged him because he hadn't said anything yet and I didn't want him to skip DP1 like he did in my game. That was just an activity vote, though.

...27 BC, Octavian, soon to be known as Augustus, became the only ruler of the Roman Republic, turning it into the Roman Empire. On the contrary to this event, you are the Vanilla...

Hmmm... alright, a second Vanilla. I am not surprised by the event itself, which makes perfect sense given the year. As for the role, it's a substantially more important event than the birth of Trajan, so it makes a little less sense as a Vanilla claim. Not impossible, but less probable.

Alright, as promised, I will divulge my role.

As stated already, I'm 1453 AD, the year the Byzantine Empire fell to the Ottoman Empire. The justification focuses on the defenders, who fought on despite being outmatched. Therefore... I'm the Bodyguard. I visited Moozer NP1 since I thought he'd be the target of the NK for obvious reasons. He was also one of my stronger townreads going into NP1.

This is what I meant when I kept saying I had a better reason to sus Vader. While this isn't exactly the same as an Elite Bodyguard, it's functionally a CC, since the only difference is that he's simultaneously a Bomb. The decision is between the two of us, and Vader's given plenty of reason to sus him up to now regardless, so I think the decision is obvious.

VTL Vader

That being said, before the DP is out, I still want Luna's full claim.

I was prepared to write a whole long effortpost when I got home about why Vader is likely scum, but honestly this pretty much confirms it for me. I don't think Whiteflame would make that role claim in these circumstances just to bus his partner DP2.
