The Ninth Layer posted:He's outright lurking and has almost no presence this game. When he does post he doesn't come off as self-conscious which is a point in his favor, though maybe I only feel that way because I felt most of the D1 suspicion on him was missing the mark. He's someone I would have no problem voting for though, we have too many players in the game who are saying nothing. I don't think he's particularly scummier than, for example, Hal, the other Sam, or EXAKT. Hot take, good to know.

Lumpen posted:True. I don't think I have ever played with him before. Is he a Known lovely Player? I don't know. But in his catchup post he acknowledges that merk is playing like a defeated player approaching his lynch, and says ljtrigirl is a good case, but two posts later seems unaware that the deadline is within fourteen hours. So it makes that first catchup post look like fake effort just to punch the ticket in the thread.

Honestly the only time I've been scumbuddies with Sam he lurked really really hard and I did too. I can definitely see him as scum. I just don't know if that one point makes him a better case. Though in this game is probably does. Would vote Samfucius.

BottleKnight posted:Is the case on Samfucius really just his Keane vote/explanation? look at these posts from day 1, and tell me that there's genuine thought behind them During the Diq/merk slapfight, he Samfucius posted:Yeah I am seeing diqnol right now. votes for Diq without explanation, but then lets us know that Samfucius posted:In the interest of developing more opinions, I am watching merk and those he interacts with. Then, he lets us know that while Diq is still scummy, and maybe even scummier than ever because of the way he's hiding in order to defuse attention on himself, he's going to switch his vote to Rarity because Samfucius posted:I voted him because ~I'd fight you and you would lose but I don't wanna~ is just so bad in every way. He's disappeared, and I agree that it could very well be to draw heat away. It is kinda working, because in his absence I am starting to swing rarity. Not that diqnol is becoming less scummy, rarity is just eclipsing him. for reasons that I'm not quite clear on. Then, today, he follows up on neither of those reads, pressures neither Rar nor Diq, and just kinda hangs out and makes lovely snipes at Keane.

SirSamVimes posted:Also, I would honestly rather not drop the the pearl. It'd be pretty bad for scum to get their hands on it, and while dropping it would allow it to go to another town there's a very real chance that a scum player would snatch it up. I'm wondering why it would be bad for scum to get it. It wouldn't surprise me if that was true, but nothing has actually said as much. Either Vimes knows something and hasn't shared it until this hint, or he's making up reasons/guessing. Combined with the joke vote/leave, and general lurkyness, and I'm not thrilled with him just now.

I feel suspicious of Samfucius too. He's lurking hard, zero effort, and not making any waves. Not good votes either. Has Mithross posted on D2 at all? I wonder if he's getting replaced. A slot that replaces out twice is probably Scum with lovely buddies.

Actually.SirSamVimes posted:I want to make a case on Meinberg but Hiipfire doesn't really have the knowledge to say where he was coming from with the low content/lurking so I feel like it'd be kinda unfair even if he felt pretty scummy. This is exactly the kind of white noise I'd post as scum. It shows that I have a read, but still gives me an excuse to be incredibly . His reads come across as forced. The Ninth Layer posted:I don't know. But in his catchup post he acknowledges that merk is playing like a defeated player approaching his lynch, and says ljtrigirl is a good case, but two posts later seems unaware that the deadline is within fourteen hours. So it makes that first catchup post look like fake effort just to punch the ticket in the thread. This is also very convincing. I was going to put a vote here but while previewing I saw PMom posted a case on Samfucius so I want to take a look at that.

I need to apologize for being absent this game day, my vacation is coming up so my boss has been scheduling me extra to make up the loss of hours. I'm in the middle of an 11 day week with a couple doubles thrown in. And no, I'm not being replaced.

SirSam's scumhunting contributions today literally amount to a jokevote on a claimed mason, I don't know how Samfucius is worse for voting a guy who refused to explain why he hasn't voted.

I think that says a lot about his alignment, to me at least. Do you think his read on Diqnol being a big baby is one that needed to be carried over to Day 2? Do you really think his vote on Keane (who again refuses to explain why he has not bothered to vote) is actually worse than SirSam jokevoting Rarity on deadline day?

Samfucius didn't pursue Rarity on Day 2, who on Day 2 claimed to be a confirmed mason. I guess that means he's inconsistent and scum!

The central mechanic of this game is being held by a lurker whose sole contribution to our Day 2 scumhunting efforts has been a deadline jokevote. ##unvote ##vote SirSamVimes

BottleKnight posted:Unless the info would help scum more than town? He said it didn't do anything about it, but refuses to give it up because he's afraid scum will get it. He's either lying or just willingly refusing to share any information. Both of these positions, especially the first, are detrimental to town, because access to information helps town more than it helps scum.

BottleKnight posted:You think? Not sharing what it does is a null tell, there's no way to know if it should be shared or not, without knowing the information. What I don't like was the offhand throw out of that information. Nothing Vimes has said before this indicated that he had any more information than we did about the pearl, but now it would be bad for scum to get their hands on it.

What happens to the pearl if the person holding the pearl gets lynched? Does it drop and open for a grab when then thread opens?

Point taken on Rarity/masonry, but yeah, I think voting based on what people are saying at the moment is scummy. It's indicative of reaching for whatever vote comes your way rather than actually holding reasoned opinions that you came to.

I have reread both Sams and Vimes comes across as scummier. Samfucius does have opinions even if he is not posting much. Vimes just points stuff out without really managing to have opinions that register as more than white noise. ##unvote ##vote vimes

Should we hold back from someone we think is scummy because we don't know what will happen to the pearl? Even if it does just drop, we have basically the same chance of picking it up again as scum does. If anyone besides Ecco knows, it's Vimes. And he's apparently gone for the day.

If anyone else picks it up beforehand, that's scummy as gently caress. If you are town but not rarity or kashuno do not pick it up. Unless someone disagrees with that and wants to discuss it, that's probably the way it should be.

I guess we could hold a group consensus that nobody picks up the pearl. I'm not super interested in speculating about what it does but I guess it wouldn't be too hard to say just don't pick it up.
