I still kinda gut Shadoweh scum but it's not something I have that much confidence in. I'm not even sure if I'd lynch her over Zak at this point even considering that all that would be driving me to his lynch would be meta (didn't lurk hard last games he was town in, posted shorter and more contentful posts rather than less contentful... well not really, but less readable long ones if I had to describe them somehow) and that the flip makes me pretty sure the other two who are short on content are either town or really ballsy gambitting scum. This last thing is a QT thing, dunno if I should go in-depth about it, I'll just let Dan do it if he thinks it should be public.
But over those two, and this is something I think you might yell at me for. I think NNR is likely scum, yeah even though I said he was town earlier and even though you pointed out how several of my townreads could be easily switchable. His two posts that refrence/reply to my townread were supposed to sound depressed, but they read really, really fake (first post made me scratch my head, second one with the "lost conviction oh dear what do" raised my alarms). I've thought this ever since he posted the last one but I was under heavy scrutiny so I figured I'd maybe claim when D2 started and post a full case tomorrow when I had time for it. Now I'm just skipping sleep to deliver and I'm saying all this undoublechecked.
Other reasons why he's probably scum is he promised to re-read Validon but never did so and went passive mode in his latest post. I know I've also promised rereads that haven't gotten there yet but I just recently replaced in, was on the spotlight for lynch candidacy to worry about more urgently and I'm not being passive about not having solid scumreads. Everybody who I did manage to get a decently read ISO out of just ended up reading town or null. There's also how I think everyone else on the doctor wagon was town except maybe Shadoweh, but I could see myself being wrong about Shadoweh a lot earlier that I could see myself being wrong about NNR.
I'm spending a lot of time to try and make this a backed up solid case but that's all that came out, posts by NNR that contain scumhunting are rare considering the number of posts to content ratio, he's normally bad at finding scum accurately and has not-so-good cases but here it feels like he's actively avoiding scumhunting with all of the mechanics discussion (that everybody can engage with regardless of alignment) and the fake depression leading to demotivation and passiveness.
I'm still pretty confident in my other townreads that I think the scumteam is likely NNR/Zak/Last scum. I also initially thought this game would have the ITP or one mafia in our QT because having a 4-man neighbor QT without scum in it is odd, but the flip makes me think this game has no ITP and just has one or several town with independent winning conditions that potentially cripple town to make life easier for the scums. My other power (which should be obvious I have because I offered fullclaiming) points towards there being at least one more town with a independent wincon but it's really just speculation and could be wrong. Either way if anybody else calls for help on fulfilling power conditions from now on I would not comply.
