Remember at this point the best scum strategy isn't about saving yourself but making sure some scum layer lasts X shots. I'm not sure who that is of course but work towards that goal

NOC Why Is There A Gun In My Popcorn? 2: Old Country Boogaloo [GAME OVER Town Wins]
- Thread starter Panic Station
- Start date
We ought to shoot Fenrir at this point. If he's scum, great, if he's town then at least he has to come back and do something and we don't have to think about the slot any longer.
Texas still needs to go too. It's hard to think of anything new to say here because we're basically stuck on the same layer of inactives / active lurkers we've been stuck on all game. Fenrir > Texas > Cancerous IMO.
The most I get out of WaterLily's flip is that Flyhn looks townier for making that push so late when there wasn't much attention on that slot. "Please shoot my buddy so I can solve the game" is a weird bus. At the same time, if the scumteam isn't Fenrir/Texas/Cancerous (and I doubt it could be that easy) then there has to be somebody in Flyhn/Samoyed/Duskfall, which is a headache that I don't really want to think about right now.

Okay, it's been ~19 hours and no talk. Well, the game is pretty much solved, I guess. No sense in letting everyone lose interest in the homestretch.
Here's the remaining players, listed from most towny to me at the top to most scummy at the bottom:
Flyhn
Samoyed
Duskfall98
Fenrir
Magic
Cancerous
Texas
If my top 3 are correct, then my next shot basically solves the game. Here's the thing: I don't think it's Fenrir, or else they'd have lost interest. But we still need them down if it's not Magic/Cancerous/Texas. I'd love to help in person next shot, but even if I'm right about the remaining 3 scum, I'm most sure of Texas, but also that he's probably Vengeful. So, odds are against my survival here.
Shoot from my list MOSTLY bottom to top. Pray that we get the other vengeful shortly. If I had to pick the one person in the bottom four who's mafia but NOT vengeful, it would be magic. But I'm not as sure of her being mafia as I am of the other two, so there we have it. I said mostly because I recommend new gunbearer shoots Magic, and if she's not mafia, she should then shoots Cancerous.
Get it down to 1 goon = we win. 1 vengeful = we can't lose, but we can drop it to a tie. Remember that. Even if I have ONE person wrong, if the rest of my list is right, we've got this.
Shoot Texas Cloverleaf KnightsofCydonia
If we get both Vengefuls early, then we win and just don't shoot Fenrir until the very end. If we reduce it to one vengeful, then same plan. Otherwise, make sure to shoot him before we're reduced to just two townlocks so that we know who to shoot and don't lose the GB + town vs Vengeful + goon.

Actually, Magic wants to shoot Fenrir sooner, so whoever's next can go after her. Or Cancerous if I'm wrong about him.

Hit Fenrir next please. We can't afford an AFK staying around any longer, and they're like 99.999% scum since Cancerous isn't

Fenrir/Magic, game solved. Great work gang. Both are vengeful though
If I've called you two out correctly, please just forfeit and save the rest of us the 24 hours between taking each of these shots. I don't wanna stick around here any longer than necessary with 7DS on my plate now

This is so fake and fooooorrced

What you call fake and forced I call trying to be iconic because honestly, I'm so bored at this point that's all I give a shit about anymore
Posting to say I'm not scum forfeiting, or scum in any sense.
I don't get the Flyhn thing tbh. Offhand Samoyed would be my choice for deepscum at this point because he dropped off after looking townie early on. Can't really remember what he's done or pushed for since Clarinet.

Fenrir is the shot btw. I can't really see Fenrir not being scum at this point unless we have a completely insane team that's been going deep all game.
Actually what if it's Dusk/Flyhn lol.
I don't seriously want to push Dusk/Flyhn, but if it turns out to be the case and we get owned then I want to have at least gone on record saying it.
Ehh, after thinking about it more, getting a vengeful shot now means scum can't win, so I guess it can't be Dusk/Flyhn unless Dusk doesn't actually expect Flyhn to ever get shot.
I'm town, and I believe Dusk is town barring some insane setup from a Dusk/Flyhn team, so Fenrir -> Samoyed -> Flyhn should win the game as far as I'm concerned.

There's also the fact that once the first vengeful gets blasted, the last scum has no choice but to give the gun to one of us, which they can use to provide an INSANE amount of WIFOM

If one of my townreads is in fact deepwolfing, I seriously don't envy the post-vengefulshot gunbearer's position... assuming they don't just give it to me because of how poorly I've proven to deal with stress here X_X
do it no balls
Don't test me, dawg
I'm really glad I don't have to deal with whatever come next
