Actually, this is a good idea because I've kinda been letting him slip along even though he did vote me early. So yes, I'll read Lumpen as well.

I'm not buying that gamer is just bad at mafia. He's scummy because he's not posting opinions, he's just noticing when other people are not posting opinions to his satisfaction.

Like are you guys noticing that Gamer has never once posted why he thinks diqnol is scum? He just keeps saying 'diqnol is scum btw' over and over. I don't see how people are ignoring that.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Immediately jumps on strong-player Merk over literally nothing, stays on him the rest of the game thus far. (Admittedly not that long, but) With him largely just discrediting other people's posts and cases with garbage vocabulary plays and criticizing a lack of content.



So is this exchange, which I find great.


"i'm just gonna afk instead of making myself look bad via defending me lol later nerds just forget me"


Trash. Dudes trying to control the narrative of the game by just hounding one person, but it doesn't work cuz he isn't a charismatic bastard and doesn't seem to really have back up.

This is a big game and it's confusing me.

Having seen Diqnol's argument in full context with the ability to review, he looks a bit less scummy than he did before when I was mainly reading on my phone in the khazi at work. However, I really don't like his "Look at me, I'm voting merk!" post - it's pinged me harder than anything else so far.

Merk still does not look altogether good to me either. He's been shotgunning accusations and stirring up a mess, plus he went off Diqnol then came back again. That doesn't match the Merk I've played with before, who can be summed up with "dogged". That said, one of the people not in the top 5 that I've looked at is Bottle Knight and I have to agree with Merk that he feels off. I still suspect Merk, but I'm moving away from him a little.

Sam and Hal are both fairly neutral to me right now. I don't see the case on either of them and while I won't be around to read it, I'd appreciate it if someone who is voting for each of them can summarise before deadline.

Gamer is pretty light on content but is not raising my hackles to any great degree. The main case on him seems to be coming from Bottle Knight calling him out for prodding TMM into interaction and criticising Lumpen for suspecting everyone when that's both Lumpen's schtick and a fairly scummy move.

So: Bottle Knight. In addition to his weak case on Gamer, you've got this:

BottleKnight posted:

Are you the de facto mayor? Because we have some corruption to stealthily get away with.

BottleKnight posted:

I can see how you might think it was rolefishing if mayor was a role? I've never heard of it. I thought the corruption part gave away that it was a joke!

TMM called this out as rolefishing, and I think he's right. BK backpedals from it, but shortly after tries to justify suspecting the existence of the role he's never heard of by questioning Ecco's vote rules:

BottleKnight posted:

hmmmm weird!

but I would almost guarantee there being a multivoter based on Ecco specifically bringing back the weird vote rules. I don't believe she's used it her last few games iirc?

This guy knows something he shouldn't, and he doesn't want us to think that he does. On that basis he's probably not scum unless the scum team has been made weak but with some foreknowledge to balance that, but I strongly suspect he's 3P and I can't believe his intentions are pro-Town.

As it stands my scumreads really are "Diqnol is a strong scum read due to previously established reasons" and "I don't think next vote-dude Samfu's posting is scummy and disagree with the cases provided on him."

If we're to get down to it I find BK weirdly disengaged for thinking I'm scummy. Like "Hey where's any of his cases guys? Alright I posted later." I agree with Jedit, but I still think Diqnol is a more solid read.

Otherwise it's a lot of nulls.

You think "knows something he shouldn't" is a better explanation for that post than "noticed Ecco's clarification of voting rules, speculated on it"?

If it helps right before I made the going down post I had gotten in a really bad fight with someone close to me and I was really loving angry in general, so if anything, it was the realest thing I've posted in this thread. But of course you have no reason to believe that until the game is over.

I was voting for merk before he was voting for me. My case explains my issues with merk. The theory you're pushing that I'm scared of merk is hilarious. I once kept merk alive for an entire game as scum just to prove I could. I did, in fact, win that game and survived to the end.

I always respond to posts about me. Ask anyone.

You're making these terrible assumptions and acting as though they are fact without any basis in reality, I feel, but I have seen you make such arguments on both sides of the pond. The fact is that I am trying to feel you out still. Gun to my head? Scum.

I haven't been hunting too much so far, QPQ, beyond the read I am supremely confident in. That is what I am trying to do now, though it will take me time to complete my re-read. I don't see how any of that makes me scum, though! That is what makes your post especially silly to me - that you didn't cite anything that seemed scummy, it was you just complaining at me and throwing a vote on at the end.

It's not that you're wrong about my negativity, but you are absolutely wrong about me ever being nice. I go on and off with being kind to people in mafia games but I'm generally very aggressive and utilize emotions to determine intent. I definitely have hunted and made reads since my big merk post but that's not to say that I've made hunting my top priority as merk seems convincingly scum to me. I hunt still because there's always the possibility one is wrong in these games and so it'd be a waste of time to hang onto one case to the exclusion of all else. If you think I'm scum, fine, but I'd like you to better explain why. Even these mafia edits do little to explain why you feel I'm scum. They read far more like you're disappointed in what I've brought to the table (fair) and that you dislike how abrasive I am (fair).
