Alright, after a bit of re-reading, I'm not seeing too much on Lumpen. There's a few minor pings and I'm not sure I like his focus on Diqnol. There might be something there, but I don't know his meta so I can't use that to make a call. Right now, I'm pretty neutral on him and I'll just have to pay attention to his actions through the day. Lumpen, aside from Diqnol, who else do you think we should be looking at today and why? I don't want a diary for the why, just a short simple sentence will do for now. Might be a good target for the day.

As for PMom, I can sort of see merks case against PMom, but I don't think I'm quite sold on it yet. Again, my problem with PMom is I never had any clue what he is doing, so I always end up suspicious of him and never know if my read on him is paranoia or an actual scum read. However, I think he is probably a good target to examine today. And since you also seem focused on one person, aside from ljtrigril, who else do you think we should be looking at PMom?

Moving on to ljtrigirl, I'm getting a little confused by her lately. I was leaning pretty well town for her during D1, but right now she seems weirdly focused on PMom, although she also has other suspects in Meinberg, merk and maybe Lumpen? I'm not sure about Lumpen because she said he wasn't on her list in the dream, but she'd still vote him just after the others in her list. So I'm not sure what to make of that contradiction. I still think I'm leaning town, but it's not such a big lean anymore. However, I will say that I do like that she is making calls and swinging all over the place as it certainly produces some good content. I guess it's a possible target, but it'd be pretty far down my list right now.

It seems like the merk/diqnol dispute is still going on a bit, but it doesn't look like it's going to dominate the day. I was leaning towards diqnol as scum yesterday but he was a lot better as the deadline approached so he's back to neutral for me. Even with my suspicion rising a bit on her, I'm a little curious about QPQ jumping on ljtrigirl. He makes some decent points, but I'm not sure I agree with all of them so it's something I'm going to be watching. I'd like to see what Kashuno has to say about QPQ given the masonry with Rarity.

You're surprised that I'm still suspicious of Lumpen despite the fact that he wasn't scum in my dream about the game? Seriously? Dude. It was dream.

What points that QPQ made did you agree with?

I'm pleased to see that we're getting some more close looks at PMom. Even though ljtri's case on her feels off enough that it's making me question my own, having merk push it too makes it seem a bit more legitimate.

Also my pearl did not do anything cool last night.

What do you mean my case feels off? What do you see as the primary differences between my case and yours/merks?

Except its not a policy lynch and, even if it was, girl's newbie status should raise the question as to why she has a policy already formed regarding Meinberg. It also raises the question why she isn't trying to lynch other players that are "hard to read." In the quote that post is referring to (1), girl's explicit justification for a Mein lynch is that she thinks he might be scummy (a suspicion that she doesn't explain in any detail until called out on it (2))) and because it is better to mislynch early than it is to mislynch late (3). I cannot even begin to articulate how out of wack this latter reason is and how newbie anti-town it appears. In the event that Meinberg is lynched and flips town, girl seems to shrug her shoulders and say, "Welp, I'm glad we got that out of the way. Meinberg was a distraction anyways (4)."

That reasoning brings me to her first substantial mention of Meinberg, which PMom pointed at earlier today (5). In this post, girl does not make an attempt to divine Meinberg's alignment. Instead, she focuses on "What if." What if Meinberg dies? What if he flips scum? It goes beyond putting the cart before the horse and becomes a massive scenario through which girl premptively clears Rarity for not "feel[ing] like a scum pair" and casts shade on merk for subtly defending Meinberg. girl is spinning out of whole cloth content, pretending matters have been resolved before they actually have. If Meinberg were to flip scum (which I am undecided on myself) I would recommend looking at girl very closely for seeming to predict this outcome and for setting up a chain lynch.

No.

Nonononono.

I think Meinberg is scum. I'm not trying to just blatantly policy lynch him. He was and continues to be a ping. My point is that, even if he is good, I think lynching him is a good idea because it'll probably happen at some point, and I'd rather do it earlier where I can get information from it than later.

QPQ, your posting really rubs me the wrong way. It feels like extremely weak "scumhunting" that doesn't have much substance, and it really bothers me. Until this:


This is a case that feels well represented and sourced, and I'm not sure what to make of it. On the one hand, I'm not particularly leaning town on you so I don't know how I feel about you making a decent case against someone. On the other, maybe d1 just isn't your jam and you're finally rolling into some good stuff. I don't know how it will shake out yet, but this is the first time I think you're actually making a decent case.

But it's not. At all. It's a blatant misrepresentation of my and my stance on Meinberg. It's cherrypicking the parts that I've said to make me look bad.

I'm going to refer the thread to the exchange where lj, apparently, decided that I'm scum.







It is absolutely completely implausible that someone takes that exchange and sincerely concludes that I'm scum, especially to the extent and virulence that lj has.

That's total bullshit. I made a joke about Meinbeirg apparently being an easy mislynch, and you lasered in on it without paying attention to the context to throw shade at me.

I sort of agree having seen his posts now. At the time that I wrote this, he'd basically not shown up yesterday and then called me out for not having reads when it wasn't at all true. Neutral(+). It's a lot easier for scum to sound good when they only occasionally participate.

Your posts are very amped up and hyper, which leads to you not explaining yourself well or not saying everything I think you meant to say which makes it look like you're adding to your thought process after the fact. If you were scum you'd be watching the slip ups much more, leading to a more restrained game.

This is a fair point but I don't think it is necessarily 100% accurate. Have do have scum tells that we as a community may be more sensitive too, but I do think scummy behavior is scummy behavior regardless, so I'm more inclined to think that Rarity's read is valid in this case.

I think where JT girl's experience offsite is more relevant is how she is reacting to the meta we have all developed as a relatively insular community.

Also, *rattles chains*

TM this was a terrible post that rightly got called out. I understand wanting to comment on major happenings but why didn't you add any of your own scum reads?

Rarity posted:

I don't like this post at all. TM isn't ranking the people he feels are strong scum reads, he's ranking a bunch of people who he's mostly just described as "neutral". However, if looked at in isolation it gives the impression that he's ranking scum reads. It allows him to point to either post in isolation and say "look, I didn't think they were scummy" and "hey, I've been suspicious of them for a while". Taking his previous post into account, TM's suddenly shot onto my radar.

Alright, since I'm on standby now I have a few minutes to try and make and actual post.

I've been over this before, but it's just the way I post/play and I'm not going to apologize for it. I understand that a post with mostly neutral reads can be scummy, but I will take that heat. I do not believe that every single post, even read posts, needs to contain scum reads. I freely acknowledge that I tend to play and look at the game in an odd fashion and it's often going to make me look weird.

I looked at 1 person you wanted me to look at, two people that were dominating the discussion at the time, the two people who dominated the discussion most of D1 and then including QPQ because he been pinging me and he also is involved between PMom/ljtrigirl. It would have seemed out of place if I ended the post with something like 'oh btw, these other people are totally scummy'.

You should also notice (and nobody that called me out on that post has done so), that I ended up posting a case against QPQ a short while after I made that post and I think it's a decent one. Also, I would think that people would get the implication that if I think someone is a good target for the day then it means I'm leaning scum for them.
