Game Ranked Darkest Dungeon Mafia - Game Thread Day 6

[T-Pein™]

To follow up on what Alco mentioned:

These are the first posts Vinegar has talking about the lynch. Randomly just wants Dalton out - I feel like Dalton should have addressed this so will have to double check. In any case, it comes at a time when there was pressure on Psychic.
Basically concedes Scum in Psychic but is hesitant to vote there.
Had voted there, and then invites the moment it was safe to do so (after I believe I'd mentioned not wanting to see any more votes piled on).
This just makes no sense.
Qualifies their vote as being there dur to Psychic "ghosting" - in other words, it provides an easy out to pivot away from once Psychic posts again.
This, to be fair, is a good post in terms of dismantling the Psychic defence, and quite unlike other parts of this ISO.
But then afterwards, sees the claim and immediately moves off - never mentions why it seems genuine, never provides another direction.

So yeah I think Vinegar is Scum.

who we lynching next Ratchet Kun.
Hime or Flower?

 

[T-Pein™]

So you're saying he put his main focus of the day towards bussing a team mate? I don't buy it, tbh.

what you mean you dont buy it?
as if he has never done such a thing or as in he would not do such a thing?
Cuz he has and would.

 

[Ratchet]

who we lynching next Ratchet Kun.
Hime or Flower?

Neither. Flower is probably Town.

 

[T-Pein™]

Neither. Flower is probably Town.

and Kurumi?

 

[Ratchet]

and Kurumi?

I have as Town too. I know you were trying to imply the only reason I've gone after Psychic and then Juice is because they're girls. Tenuous logic aside it looks to me like you think I'm Town.

 

[Hans Tweetenberg]

Pein gonna Pein

I'd prefer if we could agree to follow the lead of sane people

 

[Evans]

From rereading Psychics posts, I'm gonna say that Ultra, Kurumi, Ratchet and perhaps Ekko aren't her teammates. She also had a buncha interactions with BPD but those came late-ish and could be bussing, feels to me like she was overselling that whole thing too. Her interactions with Fuji have been positively chummy compared to everything else she's done, not sure if it means anything but it's definitely not enough to offset my town read on the guy.

Honestly the names she threw out at the end whilst waiting to be hammered I’d say are probs not scum lol. Although her actively naming only one player as town on her way out stands out

 

[Evans]

I feel Psychic rage quit the game due to getting bussed by m8

I agree with this. Her flailing around in the thread towards the end reeked of frustration

 

[Hans Tweetenberg]

I'm not in the business of contemplating the statements of outed scum. What she said on her way to the gallows is almost certain to be a hotpot of truths and lies but I for one don't want us to prioritize solving which is which. Her earlier posts when she wasn't outed oughta be a lot more important to look at.

 

[Kurumi]

I´ve never played a round with Vinegar before but I do townread Ratchet here and his case on her makes sense to me.

Vote lynch BalsamicVinegar

T-Pein trying to get another wagon started on Flower, hime or me is really weak. You´ve got some nerves to mess with almost the whole husbando sister alliance!

From the flip I assume that mafia wanted to kill another player but Whicker sacrified himself, merci beaucoup for that! @Whicker

 

[Ratchet]

Lethal*
Vinegar*
Craig
T-Pein*
Tweet
RDK*
Rugrat*
Alco
Evans
Hime
Dalton
Ultra

Basically looking to sort through this today. Asterisks against the names that I think are the scummiest/have the least reason to town read.

 

[Evans]

If I had to sum it up he just comes across as less impactful and involved overall. Pushes have been meh - don't agree on Flower and I'm not strongly town reading T-Pein, he got weirdly defensive when I tried opening discussion on him. How he's evaded the Psychic discussion sticks out most to me. I realize I've been sniffing him from the word go and don't wanna oversell, but these are my bulletpoints

In a vacuum, how do you feel about CP now?

I think the progression on Psychic looks good for him

iso'ing @Psychic I don't really have an issue with any of her posts. would like to know why she has me as town though.

can you answer my question about why you think I'm town pls

I enjoy psychic too much to yeet her here. we should flip the script on incel ultra imo, he's being a bully

I do feel like ultra may be trying to box me in with his expectations for me around the player he happened to decide to push but also feel like you're being a bit charitable to me at the same time reee

are these things outside of her town range for you?

Fr tho I'm inclined to just give ultra his lynch here and call it a day

Would help me read him and nothing else is pinging me really on a readback

The claim feels believable and fits vestal but gram tends to be generous with fakes

RNG is a pretty big no-no on WF/WS and I don't see any way gram wouldn't put that illuminate explanation in her role PM but then give it upon request. Psychic is scum.

we can do whatever with time remaining but should 100% be lynching that slot

doing other stuff with my evening, bbl

I agree

I just don’t see her game throwing and outting teammates in frustration is the point I’m making

 

[Ratchet]

Which slot? Or was this a CP quote?

 

[Ratchet]

To be honest I don't think CP is going to be Scum, he would have had to advise Psychic on a claim purely to set her up to fail, knowing he isn't getting all that much credit from her flip and that several people want to lynch him explicitly over his posts regarding Psychic. Only real avenue would be he is playing into all this to get a WIFOM defence on his slot - possible but rather unlikely IMO.

 

[Evans]

if everyone stopped voting Kurumi, Psychic and T-Pein - those eight votes could be switched to Dalton. Just saying...

Why were you so quick to switch onto Psychic from Dalton?

part of these pushes on Psychic feels like - there might be a wolf pushing another wolf on day 1. very much reminds me of me vs. Magic. I think I could be convinced to vote if a wagon builds more steam

Who do you think is the wolf pushing a bus then?

Could you answer BPDs question pls?

VOTE: PSYCHIC

This immediately following some 3rd eye suspicion it’s a bus without any follow up or context is very odd lol

UNVOTE

if a claim is coming, it will come. But no point of any extra pressure.

What

i can claim right now with only 1 vote on me. i need to get my meta on OLF built up anyway.

i mean i didn't say i would. but i can.

Why as town would you care about building up your meta?

VOTE: Psychic

ghosting not liked

sounds genuine UNVOTE

This whole thing looks like someone trying to blend in as town and talking about how Psychic is scum and being bussed but refusing to provide any reasoning or suspicion of who’s bussing is weird.

Then the complete lack of conviction to follow through on the lynch reads to me like scum trying to not be responsible for a mates death and believing they can fight their way out.

Vote BalsamicVinegar

 

[Evans]

Which slot? Or was this a CP quote?

This was a CP quote, tried to close the line gap between quotes and it botched

 

[Ratchet]

I am a bit concerned that Psychic's colour was Purple - any chance it's Multiball?

 

[Dalton]

I don't like this post. A whole lot of nothing here and I think town Ace just doesn't bother posting at all as opposed to this

You think I would lurk as town?

That's simply not true - me making a post like this after reading back stuff is normal.

Now that you've brought my attention back to it I kind of agree

He's saying he needs to reevaluate my slot but doesn't seem like he was evaluating me that strongly scum in the first place

Christ, you still don't get it.

I had said previously that I didn't like your posts or Chris', and could see you two distancing. But then I thought Psychic was scummy too, and you were going in on that too. Therefore, it seems far less feasible that you'd so aggressively distance with two teammates.

So, I had you as a scum lean before, and after seeing you go after two people who I also suspected to be scum, it was worth reevaluating you (and by extension, the links I had made between you and Chris).

This was enough to switch you from a scum lean to a town lean - is that not enough of a change for me to "reevaluate"?

All this talk about where the lynch is going tomorrow, let me just put it out there.

Today was my lynch.

Tomorrow, barring a cowardly kill from scum, is going to be my lynch.

Debate all you want. Who I say goes, will go. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Bro thinks he's that guy.

You're not that guy.

So yeah I think Vinegar is Scum.

Why would I respond to this? They were troll posts that literally amounted to "last game you were the hardest scum to catch, therefore i dont trust you this game lolololol"

I didn't, and don't, take them seriously.

 

[Dalton]

yeah that's confused me too tbh. dont know enough about lore so if someone could speculate i am giving a free pass to do it lol
