Just my opinion now:
I don't think Pathik is scum or atleast now FF and I don't believe that Huu and Sangok are still town or that atleast one of them has been converted by now. You can't tell me that Jet would pass up an opportunity like that.

Just my opinion now:

I can't imagine both huu and sangok being passed up as a conversion.
I will also throw this out there. Instead of having a jailor exe and risking a town kill we could pick out a town player for him to jail tonight.
Pros-
Town player would be protected
Town player could share information and help the town get a better grip on the game
Cons-
Risks a double cross and town player could be killed (doubtful with no kill last night)
Could send a scum who would gain information on our jailor
This would be a decent alternative if we can't lock down someone we want killed. I would like to hear more players get involved in the discussions. If you do not support an FoS say so. Why is everyone so afraid of looking like they buddy someone to the point they would rather risk a miss lynch?
Anyone care to comment on this idea?
@Sangok- I am still waiting to hear some reasoning on me being Jet. I love your vote and run/lurk to dodge defending yourself.
If I was jet wouldn't I want to fake claim role blocked to make it look like the cult died with me if I flipped Jet?
For some reason this made dues d2 claim pop in my head but I am still pretty unsure of what to think of him now that he is a real player. I can say that I feel better about him. Maybe just a thought train from how much I tunneled on him earlier.
On pathik the only thing that bothers me about him was his seeming to support lynching huu after his semi confirmed cit claim. Seemed pretty out of character at the time and I said as much D2. I am still comfortable with him as a town right now.
That sounds like a good idea in theory but for one I don't believe that we have anyone we can 100% agree on being a definite town player while being a big asset to the town and that leads to point number two that a WIFOM protection is not possible. Only maybe if we list players and say that Zuko has to pick one of them but we could also protect a Mafia player doing so meaning our protection is worthless and well.. The plan doesn't seem good to me if we want an advantage.
And for "Town player could share information and help the town get a better grip on the game": I think nearly anyone can share information that they could share in day chat. There are small exceptions like Katara and Sokka but I don't think that this is an argument that helps make the plan worth it.
I'm tickled by the softly thrown accusations that keep getting cited about me. Noone has gone through and actually quoted posts so let me go ahead and put them to rest.
Accusation 1: I derailed lynch train from Wan Shi Tong onto Wang Fire
Only relevant post:
@Whoever said I was derailing the lynch train to move it onto Wan Shi Tong (Huu I think); Eliciting a reaction can serve to make someone scumslip OR make them seem scummier, neither of which I had eliminated as a possibility at that time
Accusation 2: I pushed a Huu lynch when he was confirmed Earth cit
Reason I began tunneling Huu
Pressure vote in the hopes he would respond to this question (he never did, and I still want him to answer this FYI)
Votes at that time; interestingly Gyatso is on there and Kyoshi is on there so it's a mixed train, probable at least 1 more FN is on there but doubtful there's 3/4
Still waiting for responses
This is a very subjective point and therefore not really relevant, but less aggressively pushing him than Sangok, who later outed herself on the basis of clearing him
Reasons for my continued mistrust.
When Sangok outed herself to clear him.
Final post on Huu by me.
Huu did not respond to a single post of my tunneling of him. He then proceeded to FoS me hard for tunneling him the second I posted I was heading out for the night and left. Thus his FoS was unanswered, and by the time I returned there were more pressing matters to discuss, though I did try to bring it up again (the conversation trail by everyone was ignored to I dropped it).
My impression is that Huu began what is a FF attempt to mislynch me. Reasoning: I've been very anti-FF, and if converted (aka not Sokka) I would likely be unable to transition and thus appear obvious OR I'd still want to try and get Jet killed so I can return to TA (which I probably will do). If I'm not converted/they can't convert me (aka Sokka), all the more reason to get me lynched as soon as possible since I stand in their way.
This should tie up all questions concerning me concerning Shi Tong yesterday AND concerning Huu d2, but feel free to point out any further accusations anyone may have.
Why am I glad for the FoS's? Because now I have many players possibly outing their intrinsic scumminess in trying to FoS me, all the merrier to analyze later
I'm ok with lynching Momo today. I think Momo is full of BS with the getting visited thing, etc because she didn't come back and explain and tried to goad me into thinking Hama was a consigliere. Either way, it will be helpful to know if Momo is cabbage or fire nation.
Workibg. But here
A bit loaded to call it "play well," but I understand why suspicion was placed. That's why we call 'em "confirmed town" as opposed to town reads/towny, no?
What doesn't sit well with me is when people sheep onto the only morsel they can employ in an effort to build a lynch train against someone who is onto them (or will be in the near future). I'm seeing a lot of subliminal suggestions trying to push the idea that I'm FN from just a select few individuals backing each other up - all sourced from and revolving around the only accusation I can find, a scummy potshot from Huu once I went to bed.
But fear not all. Posts cannot be edited, and I will find the seeds of deception and choke the weeds before they grow
I'm gonna place my vote on Momo because I will be heading out and I have no idea if I will be checking in here before the day ends. My friend finally had the money to buy GTA V and we are hyped because we love the GTA franchise.
-vote Momo
See you around guys!
@Pathik: what is your read on Yangchen and Hama and Wei Jin and Jin Wei?
Are you talking skim-level reads or in depth analysis reads? Because there's a massive difference in response time between the two.
I'd like to know your read on me. You seem to believe I'm FN, but have stated very few reasons why, and they don't seem to overlap as much with Huu as others'.
-unvote
I will vote on mono again later today. Just playing safe. Mono should still be lynched.
Ok I am here. Sorry guys I have been very busy and will try to be more active tomorrow. If you have any questions for me ask them now please. I'll be reading over everything I missed.
Pre-Gyatso flip:
Extra wary for easy lynch bait. Also potential for bussing planned overnight. Cabbage-like behavior, especially with some aggression causing predictions of jester WIFOM, but overall lurky/scummy similar to Momo
Post-Gyatso flip:
Interesting in light of the interactions between them moments before.
Post - Momo revelation:
This town ain't big enough for two cabbages.
^My thoughts as I remember them, I'm currently not at home so I can't look through notes/navigate the thread easily. This doesn't take into account very well his more recent posts, because I've been extremely busy and that section hasn't had time for my usual extra reads of the thread.
I especially want to see if I can find any Momo/Jin interaction after looking through their posts later.
Momo- I believe the Cabbage Merchant Claim. I also believe Momo is a Jester which is reasoning why he is trying to avoid dying since he most likely wants to grow another cabbage before to end the game, but lynching him well prevent it.
Due- Going off of what Huu said yesterday I believe Due is most likely Uncle Iroh. It would explain the cat pictures for the first 2 days and then Hama says Zuko plans on joining with us as the blue spirit so Due starts talking regularly to see more pro-town.
Monk Gyatso- The modkill and flip was interesting. I didn't expect him to actually flip Zhao since he was so aggressive in his play. I guess it works out since he was the one hardcore pushing for mislynches.
Also I'd like to say after reading today I don't really trust KW#3 because of her weak arguments and saying Yangchen is Jet because of process of elimination. I'm going to be watching her.
Momo- I had mono pegged as a townie with her challenges on lynch logic as of D2. Her confidence bothers me and suggests she could be a jester which is why I was originally for the exe over the lynch. I really can't remember too many of the notes I took on her. I have kind of dismissed her as todays lynch.
Due- This player troubles me. Could be jet, could be town. I need to read into his posts today to get a read on him now although I still consider my original FoS on him D2 as a good reference of my thoughts. It really troubles me that everyone dismissed him for so long but I do like his attitude coming into D3
Monk caught me off guard. I was really surprised at this flip and I doubt I ever would have really pressured this player the way she was playing. Heindsite it makes sense. I took her as a bit of a lesson.
Hopefully I can give a better explanation of these players when I am not seeking off at work to check my phone..
I've been preaching all this time to not lynch without evidence. Look what we've done now, two lynched by our own hands and two more by the FN and possibly one or two or none at all by the Cult. ONE or TWO of the people talking right now is culted, or ONE of the people talking right now is culted, or NONE at all and in those cases it HAS to be Koh or Kuruk since one was roleblocked and one was AFK. If two were culted, we lost eight people. I really don't want to continue without evidence, but we've got nothing unless we kill Jet right now. Don't go on the Momo train.
Well? You're trying to look like Town right? Gives feedback like a sheep... doing what others tell you to say... right?
Then say that to yourself and actually think about what I'm saying and actually read the post what I'm referring you to
You're in the States, I'm overseas. Please don't make this a time zone problem.
Momo is L-3. Declaring intent to vote later this evening closer to the deadline in case there is more that people want to discuss.
I have been called a few things this game but a sheep? Really? That is just silly. Almost as silly as being called a cult by the huu and you (The main suspected cult). The way you outer yourself makes me feel that it is not a matter of 'if' we should kill you but rather 'when'.
I made an issue of you disappearing because you called me jet, voted on me, and then vanished when I asked you to construct a line of logic for me being Jet.
With that said your entire reasoning is:
I am sheepish
I was role blocked and you claim not converted so it must be me or KOH
And because of a post you made you can not be cult so my FoS on you makes me jet
Let me make sure that I got this right before I start on you. That this is the reason you are asking the town to not lynch a self claimed neutral and kill me for these reasons.
I think we need to have a real conversation about potential jailor actions. We need to plan this night out.
I am off work by the way
Welcome back folks, to Pathik's Player of the Hour!
In this exciting episode, we go behind the scenes to take at one of the hottest players alive and kicking, our very own Jin Wei (not to be confused with Wei Jin)! Rumor has it this aggressive player is locked in the sights of many a player, so let's break it down and run through some play-by-play analysis, shall we?
Jin Wei stands at an average activity level of 64 posts, though our expert at the trends desk has noted a steady increase in activity stemming from a very inactive day1. But enough with the preliminaries.

@Hama64 States Huu and Sangok are likely still town due to Kuruk being Jet + roleblocks.
Scumdar:
Gyatso immediately tunnels him, seemingly first to tunnel. Probability of bussing + Scumminess +
Purposely makes inciting comments. Scumminess +
Claims he contributed with few contributions. Scumminess +
Early hammer. Scumminess +
States early he will sheep a pressure vote. Later hammers Wang Fire without provided reasoning. Approximation of reasoning - town wanted to lynch Wang Fire. Scumminess +
Inciteful comments directed specifically at Yangchen. Distancing with Yangchen +
Votes Momo with justification as so he can't be hammer/assuage everyone else. Scumminess +
FoS's me with no justification. Scumminess +
Towndar:
Trends:
Activity strongly upspikes following Gyatso's modkill; begins asking players questions
My speculation: Increase in towniness/Decrease in lurkiness now that towny FN died
Other interesting tidbits:
Huge interest in Hama and jail night chat (7 posts + vote post)
Immediate questions for Jin Wei (aka THE INQUISITION):
@Jin Wei
You claim you agree with the list of FN Huu wrote up. You are incredibly vague about this. Please solidify this claim. Do you think:
I am FN? Why?
Wan Shi Tong is FN? Why?
Wei Jin is FN? Why?
I'm extra curious on why you think I'm FN, namely since you have never had a single question/FoS/post concerning me in your entire post history. Believe me, I checked.
Overall analysis:
Jin Wei appeared very scummy, akin to Momo up until Gyatso flipped. From that point on, his activity has strongly upspiked. Large focus on Hama's chat with Zuko last night in jail.
Should he be FN: My guess is the plan was to bus Jin Wei today unless a better lynch presented itself. Jin strongly defended himself in terms of answering Gyatso, but his defense was not necessarily solid. With a soft-clear due to the modkill, he grew more confident and his posting ramped up as such. May have used some of this town-clearance to try and push for the jailchat with Hama/Zuko.
I have doubt he is Cabbage after his activity change since Gyatso flipped. I'm leaning towards a FN alignment here, but I'm not as confident as I was when I made the analysis on Momo. Very doubtful he's Jet from his playstyle. Also highly doubt he's Zuko/Iroh. Select evidence to suggest he is TA TPR but could be setting up a non-cit claim.
Some distancing from Yangchen which seems purposeful - if he flips FN our eyes should move there next.
And that concludes Pathik's Player of the Hour. Stay tuned tomorrow for more insight, because there's no way in hell I can do another of these by the end of today.
Ok that's a fucking huge wall. Next time I might try to split it into multiple smaller posts, but the amount of analysis in this episode really inflated it's size.
Aaaand knew I forgot something. Towndar section was there to put the following:
Tunneled by confirmed FN. Towniness +
Trends into more town-like/begins contributing more. Towniness +
Pressures/questions selected players from Gyatso's flip onwards. Towniness partial + (suspicious due to timing)
For the record, I said I was comfortable with the list, I did not say I agreed in it's entirety.
I'll answer any more questions in the next 30 minutes or so, then I'm going to take a nap until we're closer to end.
Very interesting. I want to see his response to this.
In the meantime- What do you think we should suggest for the jailor action? I think it would be best if most players got behind a plan so we can confirm the jailor will work with us. The options as I see them are:
Suggest a player for execution
Suggest a player to protect and coordinate with
Either sounds good to me. Everyone could vote someone for each of the two options, in say pink and blue? And then we could tally the votes up and solidify our position for Zuko concerning it?
Vote execution
Vote Protect + Coordinate
I think Hama should be eliminated from the Protect and Coordinate vote since he was already jailed for confirmability across a second town-read.
What do you think of that?
4 hrs remain. Momo is at L-3. Kuruk and Kw3 have stated their intentions to vote.
That will only put us at L-1. We are missing a vote :/
