Also, as always I think Kash is scum. This game it's because he was opportunistic on the Biaga vote and continued to push what I believe is a bad case.

I think it's a pretty fair accounting of the thread so far and points out the main suspects, aside from Kash. If it's just because it's a sum up type response, well I almost always get dinged for those whenever someone replaces.

This is a little stupid but the thing that's pinging me the most is your "solid" town read on me. You seem too sure of my alignment given what has transpired thus far, though to be fair I don't know you well enough to know if you tend to make hard calls early

Especially given you had literally JUST given a town read on me 2 posts prior. Smells like scum buddying.

The only thing I can see that could make one's spider sense tingle is that the summary is explicitly just TMM's views, and could be used as a way to nudge any newly entering player's thoughts by getting the first word in. Setting the stage, so to speak.

Plus, I've liked your content and it has all seemed sincere, so I'm pretty comfortable thinking you're town right now. I think you were wrong about Biaga, but you've explained your thoughts and reasons well. Of course, you could be scum just posting a lot as cover and as I said, if that's the case I'll hate you forever. ![]()

TMM seems town right now. He does this every game, and in fact the only time he doesn't make a d1 scum read on me is when he's scum.

Nah, I was more hoping to help you put words to your feeling ![]() Mostly the natural urge to read someone else's explanation of a situation and think "hey that's weird that it doesn't line up so nicely with my view" where both you and I have that context but DBD entering the game wouldn't and could get the well poisoned by a slightly biased summary.

TMMadman posted:I think the biggest issues facing you are these: Awkward newbie read for me, but I don't like your vote on Kash at all, don't think his reaction was really out of the ordinary. I don't like my gut on Hermetic, mostly because he reads like me when I post as scum. High praise, I know. I hedge a bit sometimes because I don't like to hard commit myself to anybody unless I for sure have information or a drat good gut read, so playing cautious isn't bad.

I have had a fun time re-reading the thread and boy oh boy do I have observations: Probably Town: Green Intern, Nth Doctor Neutral: Kumbamontu, Podima ![]() Probably Scum: Gabriel Pope, Hermetic, biaga Scum: Kashuno Green and Nth are making good contributions and asking good questions without making any scummy posts or moves. Unless there are crazy revelations, I'd probably consider them Townies on D2. Kumba is making a lot of great posts and only Someone Awful seems to think he's scummy. Podima is a huge jerk butt who voted for me for a dumb reason (Kash, Tomm, and Kumba thinks this is a weird move) but otherwise Podima hasn't added too much and doesn't seem scummy to me otherwise, jerk vote aside ![]() ![]() Gabriel has made some scummy posts (TMM and SA agree). Someone Awful! posted:I agree that it seems weird that Gabriel Pope didn't make any alignment calls/votes in his last posts; I especially feel like the point he made on me was a bit forced (though obviously I have some bias there, lolol). I feel like his posts are basically throwing softball reads out there in the hope that one of them sticks/gathers steam rather than actually scum-hunting? I would like TMM to explain his reasoning more in depth, but I think Gabriel has been a bit wishy washy. Gabriel's vote for Herm at least keeps me from considering Gabriel total scum right now. Hermetic seems kind of all over the place. Gabriel has been pretty focused on pointing the finger at Herm: Gabriel Pope posted:Kashuno is trying way too hard, but he seems confident in his convictions. I find Hermetic's opportunism a lot more eyebrow-raising: SA isn't so sure on Herm either but would vote Herm. Hermetic posted:Hi Someone Awful! This comes off super weak and admitting he's kinda scum is a bit of a red flag. Podima thinks Herm is scummy but not enough to vote atm. Kumbamontu posted:Evidence is demonstrably not everything in mafia - persuasion is. You don't have to be right, you just need to convince others that you're right. Looking for hard evidence that someone is scum is going to be an uphill battle, because everything is subjective. Kash backs up Kumba's opinion on Herm. biaga has rolled over and is playing dead. Maybe this is why the bandwagon has moved on. I can believe that biaga is overly defensive right now because he's a newb who hosed up. He's basically asking to be lynched and nearly everything he says sounds pretty scummy. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for today though, because: Putting my money down right now would mean ##vote Kashuno. Kash has rolled off the radar a bit recently and to call back attention. Kash attacks Gabriel’s vote on biaga with “this is a weird insinuation” but doesn’t add anything else. Kash backpedals with his stance after people begin to think maybe biaga is just a poor newbie: Kashuno posted:I disagree What? TMM sees it as the opportunistic vote that it is. TMMadman posted:This is an opportunistic vote. And I agree. Kashuno posted:nah Scum response! Later, biaga says Kash is scum. TMM agrees without much reasoning though: TMMadman posted:More like people seem to be in a real hurry to jump on a new guy for what basically amounts to awkwardness. Gabriel defends Kash and TMM decide the two are in cahoots. Not sure I'm on board with this. I wonder with Gabriel and Kash think about each other? Nth Doctor posted:Kash, you went from a vote on Biaga being weird to voting him yourself in just over an hour and you've stuck to your guns ever since. This is why I agree with TMM that your vote seems opportunistic. The only waver you've had was this morning: Nth has got it right. Kash really isn't owning up to any of the accusations and is offering jackshit as a reason. What's Kash thinking about right now? Kashuno posted:TMM seems town right now. He does this every game, and in fact the only time he doesn't make a d1 scum read on me is when he's scum. Nothing substantial. I'm keeping my vote on you for now, Kash. I would vote for Gabriel, Herm, or biaga to avoid a no-lynch.

I'm going to have a slow rear end start since replacing in is always tough for me for some reason. I need to interact to get reads more than reading up on things that happened.Hermetic posted:Wow, you jumped to some serious conclusions, given that I never said I thought you were scum, changed my vote, made an accusation, etc. I don't like this exchange between Kumba and Hermetic at all. Kumba did kind of jump to a conclusion there, but you did use the words "concretely scummy" which means he was the scummiest read to you at the moment - so in theory, what he said wasn't really that much of a stretch. He didn't really act super defensive in my eyes either.

##vote Hermetic Feeling good about this. I want to re-read Kash since people have spoke on him a bit - what's opportunistic about it? It's a weak vote, but it was an early vote and he admittedly said it was something small. I don't agree with it at all since Biaga reads fine to me, but Kash's vote doesn't really stick out to me one way or another.

Colonel, how would it make any sense that Biaga is likely scum if I'm definitely scum? Do you think I'm doing some insane suicidal bussing strat? How have i rolled off the radar? I've been garnering votes all day and engaging the thread in discussion. Finding Gabriel's response to be weird doesn't insinuate in any way that I find Biaga to be town, and I don't get where you think I'm back pedaling there. Currently I think Gabriel is posting a lot, and not a ton that feels substantial to me. As we approach deadline, I'll want to see where their content goes or if it's mostly white noise. I haven't dodged an accusation and I think it's clear from that you aren't noting my reactions and are in fact trying to create a narrative to support your vote that doesn't exist.

Just because I think biaga could be scum doesn't mean I can't think you're scum as well. I feel like a lot of your answers earlier in the thread were pretty lackluster and it's looking like the votes adding onto you have finally pressured you into giving more of an opinion. Specifically, I think your ![]() I think it's weird that you weren't cool with Gabe's biaga vote and then suddenly voting biaga yourself. ![]() Your reactions now have been the most substantial they've been all day. But I think your performance so far has been pretty scummy and I'm still sticking by it.

Kashuno posted:I don't get you, man. His callouts aren't related to people I've even commented on except for saying I need to reread herm thanks to Kumba. I'm not calling people out without giving alignments or backing my play, we aren't acting similarly or going after the same people. What makes you think that we're both scumbros? Literally one post later after I posted question blocks. One. Post. I didn't even think I was vote leader until after I just posted and checked vote finder, so lol at the idea that I'm responding more because of votes on me

What am I fabricating? If I just straight up made up something point it out at least. biaga's floundering under pressure but still being a town could be understandable since he's new (unlikely, I think he's prob scum), but I don't think you're making yourself look like much of a diamond with the pressure on you right now.

Why am I doubling down on my case instead of backing off??? Not to mention, in regards to not liking Gabriel's vote but then voting Biaga, it's almost like the post that Gabriel quoted in his vote wasn't the same as the one I used in my vote! Like we came to that conclusion in different ways! You are fabricating that I'm A) dodging questions B) somehow off people's radar C)by disagreeing with Gabriel that I found Biaga to be town
