Why I think Choco is scum
Earlier I said Choco seems town because he's not been panicking, but once I looked back on everything it started to rub me the wrong way; he's not panicking enough.
Exhibit A
Should we lynch Inffy and toxicologist Alisha for insurance? (sorry bad inside joke forgive me)
Day 0 he made a few jokes, but the jokes a lot of the time were framed in a way to throw shade onto other people.
Exhibit B
What reads do you think we will get and why do you think they will be valuable? What kind of information do you think we will get, by, for instance, lynching a villager in this setup?
He asked a lot of basic questions during Day 0, which initially set off my vibes of suspicion but I backed off in favor of other people. He's a very experienced player, but it felt weird because he asked them in a way that made him appear unsure, where he would normally have stronger opinions about them.
Exhibit C
How do you know for a fact that there's an SK in the game when the setup has, in fact a 50% chance of generating one? Do you have any particular reasoning behind this? Also, who do you suspect being SK/Mafia and why? I am actually inclined to lynch you based on this statement - however as mentioned before I'm interested in what other people want to say about this.
Jumped onto fantome early and that cast a lot of initial doubt in his direction. It could be nothing on it's own, but there's a pattern here.
Exhibit D (Molten Behavior)
I find him the most scum so far, especially the SK remark. I feel like him declaring there's a SK directly is him diverting attention away from reading into the Mafia, or him actually being SK.
Molten says fantome is very suspicious too, shortly after Choco had thrown shade on fantome.
Exhibit E
So I'm not going to go into every single accusation Alisha has made against me but right now ironically and very contrary because of what she's doing I'm actually starting to Townread her a bit simply because I can see a basis for the suspicion. Though I'd like to point out than when I did accuse Les (Fantôme) what struck me was her overtness in defending Les.
He townreads me here but plants a seed that I overtly defended fantome
Exhibit F
I don't understand why you are being defensive here Tim? I mean, I can see the basis of your suspicion but right now most of the suspicion lies on Les. I'm not suspecting you as of right now but the rhetoric in this question just seems excessive in my opinion.
Okay, so in my post from just now I mentioned that I'm starting to slightly Townread Alisha but I wasn't really paying full attention to the discussion that was ongoing at that point in time.
This right here starts making me very suspicious because:
1. You voted Inffy first (meme joke so I'll ignore this)
2. Then you voted me, claiming that I was quick to jump on Les, even though Timdood was the one who jumped first
3. THEN you voted Les
but your flip-flop between me or Les
Casts doubt on Tim here, then twists the knife by hiding behind him while walking back his townread of me all in one post. He said I was quick to defend fantome but apparently it's not ok of me to say he jumped on him. Also he characterizes me as a flip-flopper here early on which is blatantly untrue, I should have caught that early on but I was too busy being gaslit by that.
Also a couple pages later he posts a montage of my votes and unvotes, with a magikarp flopping around, I'm not quoting that partly because I don't want silliness in this and also because it still upsets me. Fantome responded to defend me there, too.
Also he called out Molten at one point for voting to lynch and no lynching, but didn't follow through on that accusation
Exhibit G
I think Inffy has a point that you are being somewhat overly defensive but at this point I'm just more or less convinced this is how you play... I'm not entirely dismissing the other theories though.
I don't think I scumread MoltenAshes (Wyatt) because of that - I think he's just being cautious and he did say about no-lynching earlier on and the reason being him voting Okx and Ernie was to get them to talk. His behaviour just seems consistent to me.
Inffy previously said Tim was being overly defensive, and Choco pops up from the background and reinforces this
Also threw in a quote of him defending MoltenAshes, which stands out because he didn't follow through on his accusation of him from earlier
Exhibit H
IMO Weak is the kind of person who's actually more suspicious as Town and less suspicious as scum... considering he's duped me so many times before in previous games I'm naturally wary of him but I don't think this is how he acts as scum.
Defends TWG early on when Inffy and I put our votes on him
Day 0 Voting Result - Shadow_hunter3, ChocoFox, Alisha, Fantome, MoltenAshes, Catgirl12467, Fog
Day 1
Molten votes catgirl early on
Exhibit J
If Choco is indeed Mafia, then Catgirl would actually be very likely town in my eyes.
The whole reason I pushed on Catgirl was because I felt like she was trying to lead a Choco mislynch today. If Choco is Mafia, then Catgirl would actually be correctly suspicious on Choco, and my whole reasoning on Catgirl's susness would be proven false.
MoltenAshes I want you to directly respond to this. What do you think about Choco?
Also Molten later unvoted catgirl who was town, saying I had a good point about something or other.
Exhibit K
MoltenAshes seems to be throwing a lot of shade on the weakest targets around - seems like a sort of convenient way of diverting attention (?),
As what Unu said Inffy seems to be siding with people who are influential and what not. I still think MoltenAshes is suspicious.
Characterizes Inffy as agreeing with anyone that's influential despite that being a non-behavior of town inffy - also mentions suspicion of molten but that's about it
Also he threw shade at molten for a few posts as if he's preparing a bus if people keep voting him, but lets the issue drop entirely
Exhibit L
Sigh* does this mean Inffy is Mafia now - if Weak really is Town?
Doubt, doubt, doubt!
Immediately after TWG claims, Choco takes the chance to throw shade on Inffy.
He voted TWG in the end, by the way
Also he just voted me so this is obviously a blitz so please take time to discuss this before ending the day
And ask yourselves this question; Who in the game can Choco feasibly be teaming up with, and who in the game can I be feasibly be teaming up with?
