I was here earlier and just awoke from sleeping.I've been vocal about lynching Houtarou since the beginning. So. Expect to see my vote on him.
Another player who pinged to my interests is Tigerr.
@Imperfection dude where are you? I don't like the last minute vote you gave to Kyte.
@Alice in Noodleland
How come AL?
Although I don't disagree with you there. I feel like I've been having difficulty reading AL, probably because first game with them. But you seem pretty set on lynching them.
Part of me wants to follow along this phase. I do remember them unvoting during eod in dp1 which looked like not to take responsibility, and before that voted toujo who was the counter wagon to poison, who turned out to be scum.
Also, i dont know what to make of AL using themselves as bait apparently.
@-PKYea I agree. Getting rid of Poison for some extra town cred specially when you keep in mind the abilities that Poison had is a silly move in the first phase itself. Toujo had options of RGK and Ryu who he had already mentioned as one of his scum reads so why kill you own overpowered teammate for town cred when there was a better alternative available.
Adding to this. Toujo has so far come off as a very cocky player. Now this is just me reaching here but a player with his experience and attitude I can imagine wanting to demolish the town team without even losing a single scum mate.
Its been the mentality of every good Scum player I have played with. They only wanted to lose a scum mate when the situation was becoming a bit messy for them to handle.
I just read this and must admit it has some.... really good points.424

First three posts in the game where he manages to call someone out, accuse Luk of being scum, and dodging a question.

His hand sure heals fast.

Two posts where he seems to buddy Ratchet.

Says he can't read Poison at all. Convenient.

Defensive of being linked with Poison.

Another player (Michelle) where he admits he just can't read them.

I think Hou saying that he wasn't going to be around EOD and then seeing how active he really was, makes this post a bit odd in retrospect.
1529
This is a really interesting post from Hou saying he's not going to vote Poison this phase after asking people what they thought about her lynch a few times. I know he flip flopped hard EOD, but to me, why constantly ask people what they think about Poison only to then come out and say you're not voting her this phase? Seems like he was maybe figuring out the best way to get town credit off her lynch.
1534
It's funny because, although I can't be certain it's the first mention of the idea but it's definitely one of the firsts, Hou brings up the idea that Kyte might be scum based on his read of Poison. At this point, no one knows Poison's alignment and her lynch wasn't red hot, so I don't really understand why Hou straight up called Kyte scum for his read. It's almost like Hou slipped here with TMI and was already trying to set up a mislynch here if Poison flipped scum.
1539
This is his second time offering up All_Red as a counter wagon despite only having eleven posts in the game. This was something I actually called out on the time because I just don't know how All_Red was an appropriate counter wagon to Poison given the circumstances. I think if Hou flips scum, All_Red might have been spewed town here.
1544
I actually don't even know what this gibberish is. Literally fifteen posts after he said he's never going to vote for Poison, he says he didn't mean it. What? He actually then uses RGK as a counter wagon for whatever reason. Not sure if RGK (Oshie) gets as much town equity as All_Red just because Hou offered up All_Red more than once. RGK might have just been a bluff, but felt less genuine than All_Red.
1568
LOL votes Poison after all this time. I know town can switch their minds, but there's no legitimate reason for a townie to spazz out like that at this point. I think what happened really was that Hou was torn between bussing and saving Poison and got caught in between what he really wanted to do and how to do it.
1602
Well, now he;s on Toujo. And this starts his push on the Toujo wagon.
1615
He drops that scum are probably on the Poison lynch. Nice.
1688
A reminder that this is how strongly Hou felt about Ratchet being scum at one point in this game.
1728
Here's a real juicy post. I like how he's already preparing his excuse for if Poison flips scum. TMI? Why try to set that up?
1764
For some reason Hou brings up that it's weird that Ratchet and I have town reads on each other. He also thinks I'm defending Ratchet which I was to a point, but more so I was convinced Poison was scum.
1891
Here's the post where he said he's fairly new at Mafia, yet he made a post recently how he's experienced enough to make town posts as scum. I just feel like he's been using his level of experience in different ways here.
2025
Now this is just a straight up lie that he thought Poison was a great lynch candidate, because if he had, he wouldn't have tunneled Ratchet like he did.
2041
Weird comment on Michelle's kill. "I assume scum has no motivation on that kill". Scum ALWAYS have motivation for a kill. It seems like Hou was trying to brush off any conversation on why Michelle was killed.
2054
Seems like pretty prepared day lynches, especially how he already shaded Kyte in D1 about potentially being scum for his Poison read. Despite everything Hou might say in D2, he never changed his vote off of Kyte.
2074
So this is Hou's third time saying that it HAS to be one scum between Kyte or Ansa but never gives reasons as to why. Is that a town thing to do?
2111
When Ansa asks what Hou's objective is, Hou says these are raw thoughts that aren't developed. But, it seems like he's pretty determined to go after the both of them despite having undeveloped reads.
2178
Here comes Hou creeping up on Kyte. Instead of calling him out for his read on Poison (like he did in D1) he just says that they had no interaction. Nice soft push.
2189
I actually don't think that the interactions between Ratchet and Poison are all THAT clearing to completely switch your death hunt of him.
2267
This post throws me off as well. Like, he's completely alright with a potential mislynch of Kyte and then says we have Ratchet next.
2305
This is like the second or third time he said 'watch out if I get serioues!'. Why?
2436
Personally, this is a pretty damning post by Hou for me. So I had given a POE and he called it gross (without any explanation, go figure) and when I asked him to clarify, he asked me why I found Ansa (as well as RGK/AL) suspicious. The bizarre thing is why are you calling my reads gross on RGK and Ansa when you voted RGK D1 near EOD and also opened D2 saying there had to be scum between Kyte and Ansa. My reads shouldn't be that far from the opinion you once had that you have to call my post out.

Throwing out Just_Red again. Poor Red.I will say with the amount of times Hou suggested lynching Just_Red, he never gave a reason once.
2969
Funny, Hou had said that he was open to another wagon earlier in the game (obviously with the Just_Red sacrifice) but that there probably wasn't enough time to get a switch. Well, when the Ansa train picked up, even though he had doubts about the Kyte train (and to be fair he said he doubted Ansa as well), he weirdly doubles down and says he won't be moving his vote from Kyte. The reason seemed like bull shit as well.
3002
TMI?
3135
I just have a laugh out of irony here with Hou asking someone to clarify there reasons for doing when he's been doing it all game.
3246
So this is a noted Just_Red suggestion by Hou because he switches off of suspecting me, Ratchet, and Bee (as his reads) once Ansa suggested Red.
3349
Here's where Hou finally decides to come after me after we have our back and forth. Based on how he seemed to be looking for a place to hang his vote, I think this is in reaction of me coming after him. He still has yet to give me a case on why he thinks I'm scummy other than being a nuisance and how I've apparently acted after Kyte flipped.
3404
Says he doesn't go into detail unless he's really sure about something. Considering you suggested a Just_Red over ten times in this game, without a SINGLE reason as to why, when should I expect you to become serious about something?
3429
I wonder if @Houtarou; is going to ignore me now?
I probably will, I just wanted to bring up discussion about beeboat@-PK- @Ansatsuken @Ryu Kishi @Rej
Let's vote for Hou. I think that my case against him is damning and I think he's floundered in this thread trying to respond to it. I think Osie really put the gears to him in my steed and I don't really feel much of a desire to respond to his defense because he just looks guilty in my eyes. I think his EOD1 play indicated he was stuck making the choice of attempting to save his teammate and bussing her, which resulted in him flip flopping his vote. D2 he gravitated towards Kyte because that was where the safe lynch was. And then in D3 he has been looking for a safe place to put his vote asking many different players who they are voting for and if they would vote for him. He's already suggested Ratchet, Red, Bee, and myself as all potential counter wagons to his own. This sounds more like self-preservation than scum hunting. His absence of a core list of suspects is very troubling.
what about AL makes you think to consider to vote him?My internet is going nuts. I will try to be here before EOD.
Okay.. I'm. Torn between an AL and Houtarou vote.
Unsure. While X feels to have some good points. I wouldn.t vote for you cause I didn.t make a personal iso on you.So who are you planning to vote this phase?
So if you don't make a case against someone you won't vote them? That's kind of odd.Unsure. While X feels to have some good points. I wouldn.t vote for you cause I didn.t make a personal iso on you.
@XTMF Maybe you find this post interesting also.
I am still considering Just_Red, Al and Aether. I would take Toujo in consideration also after Kyte.s flip of DP2 and but I haven.t isoed him yet.
What good points did I make?Unsure. While X feels to have some good points. I wouldn.t vote for you cause I didn.t make a personal iso on you.

@Rej Vote Beeboat I think. So that 2 votes for BeeboatVoting Tally
TheLukundo: Houtarou
Ansatsuken: Aether9 > Toujo
Ryu Kishi: Toujo
osieorb18: Houtarou
XTMF: Houtarou
Toujo: Houtarou
Houtarou: beeboat
Voting Count
Houtarou: x4
Toujo: x2
beeboat: x1
I will ask you once again to join me on this Hou wagon; I feel as good about it was I do the Poison lynch.@Rej Vote Beeboat I think. So that 2 votes for Beeboat
AL is town
But as DP went on and the count of players that were suspecting Poison increased Rej went ahead and started to make his case on AL. His preparations themselves progressed smoothly for the case AL itself, and all that remained was the menial job of fanning the flames over and over. but it didn't really work out for him when I suddenly turn the table with my push on Toujo and creating the main focus between Poison and Toujo so while RGK was another lynch inside these days Rej kept voted Glover but later knowing he won't get enough people to lynch glover he went ahead and voted the leading wagon; Poison wagon itself.AL is town with benefit of doubt
I would lynch Imp or Aether this DP
This posts merely hints that Rej was trying to gain credits for Poison lynch, nowhere it has shown, or even look like Rej was actually controlling the wagon... he was merely a part of the wagon. Why would Rej try to take credits for Poison lynch despite knowing he was not even the one that started it and only voted her at a late phase when Poison was bound to get lynched. So there is a contradiction with his posts, there is absolutely no reason for Rej to think he was controlling the wagon outside of getting town cred.So when Michelle voted Toujo and evened out the wagons I went back to poison. Showing how I was always aware of the lynch. I was just stand by all the time so i can redirect the lynch against Poison with my vote.
You realize that I had mainly control of the wagons last DP? Now tell me again in face I am scum. Tell me I am an exe or mafia that bussed my partner. My beloved Poison chan.
VoteLynch RedGloverKing
I dont trust any shenanigans here
Also, the bolded part feels off to me... I don't see why he needed to mention this, also it's pretty convincing that he says Michelle is only useful in the DP until Mafia kills her. Rej had this post laid out and Michelle was dead next phase, both things ping me that Rej had intention when created that post and those intention were to kill Michelle.I don't know, usually Michelle seems to create some paranoia in me, but this time I literally give a **** on any negative emotions.
I think she is valuable in the DP until mafia kills her. I hosted here twice and mafia often likes to reevaluate Michelle has night kill target.
Also Michelle is not tunnelish in this game which can imply certain things, like she is putting more thoughts or she is more observative. Nothing bad really pinged me.
Ngl this is what im going off of.
Then I read somewhere he has like 8 years experience
Don't know much about the others is all
I don't get how exactly but this feels very Rej like a post when he's scum... I think Imp wouldn't understand what Rej implied but I think he's happy that Rej was reading him town hence what Rej wanted being achievedlmao this post sounds super innocent and it is super towny at this point
to add something to your thoughts: most long time player laze off or spare their energies for neccessary plays
and when I saw long time players then I really mean loong time players
Lock Ansa town, he already has novaselinenever paranoia flashbacks
This one as well, I am pretty sure no one really bothered with this or even trackback to see what Rej was trying to say... it's perfect reasoning and quite common. Not only people will overlook that but also gonna think there must be something on page 45 that made Rej think he's town hence player decide not really try to look that but here's what we got on page 45The Luku - Imp interaction on page 45 gives me the impression that Luku is town
VOTE ME
No >: (
VoteLynch: Imperfection
Lol why, cuz I wont vote you?
If you think that wouldn't have been enough and look genuine read to Rej, then rej'd be way underestimating Luku because just not game ago Luku pulled crazy taints like that there as well and he scum and Rej was the host. So yeah this is another one of Rej weird reads that really hold no ground but trying to look like he's contributing while in reality, I don't think this actually gave anything for anyone to work with. It was just random one-liner reads that people think "Yeah, I think it's fine" and then overlook it.
Try to be more involved please. Maybe give a read on everyone before DP endsinterested in me??
btw I'd suggest to lynch red or imp
What I mean is that ideally I want to personally look at them first and not get manipulated.So if you don't make a case against someone you won't vote them? That's kind of odd.
Your iso is quite extensive on him. Q.QWhat good points did I make?
I have a feeling that least 1 if not couple scum are the lurkers that are comfortable in watchinf how things are going.Well, he is not a thread to me rn, if he had a lynch redirect he would have kicked me already. Tho I just think that my own tinfoils against AL were farfetched, and PoEwise I would reset AL before I move him in my PoE during the course of the game. All his wishy washy plays this game could be town. Not leaving out on this opportunity. Also his last EoD tone sounded quite unsure.
What are your thoughts about AL? and tell me your thoughts on Ansa, Bee and Hout too if we start it already. GTH short reads are enough.
