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:

Furthermore you got a direct accusation of being bros with Pope and you did the same thing you blame Biaga for:



You aren't answering the charge here. You're just :iiam: at TMM.

Wow I'm definitely the only one put off by your biaga vote. You've dug in deep on biaga and given reasons, sure, but I think you're flopping on responding to others accusations.

So I didn't have nearly as much time to actually post this evening as I thought, due to prepping early for the possible hurricane this weekend. Just reread as much as I can.

I think that Hermetic's speculation on Biaga's lynch, and treating it as somewhat inevitable seems a bit off. The tinfoil stuff was kind of weird and I don't really like how he's felt kind of white noise-y. Saying "haha, yeah this seems scummy" just kind of brings the bad vibes to me. Gabriel Pope was at least right that Hermetic wasn't the first vote, and waited for a little more support on the vote-train to bring out the weird theories.

I kind of agree with Kashuno re: Corazon's giant wall'o'casing, but it might just be because it didn't feel very organized and that kind of poo poo really irks me when someone's trying to convince me with a body of evidence. I am going to reread that thing once more before I go to bed.

At this stage, I'd be alright voting Hermetic to avoid a no-lynch. Possibly Biaga because I can see the rationale for scum in his case, although I am still leaning on the side of 'nervous new town player.' Colonel Corazon hasn't really posted a ton so it's kind of hard to get a good read.

I'm keeping more organized notes on gabe, herm, and kash but I condensed the poo poo out of them for my post (since my Fury Road effortpost were really loving long) and I can see its been detrimental with re to kash and I straight up missed part of kash's page 6 posts.

That's pretty much because I did a quick read of what had been posted while I was writing my post (about halfway through page 7) and it was looking like Kash was going off the radar and I thought his weak responses deserved more attention. By the way, I should have been saying page 7 instead of 6 in the last posts. Bed time!

there isn't too much to reread on ssv he has like 5 posts, one of which is a contentless vote on biaga and one of which is an "advocating no-lynches is scummy!!!" post. reads like lurking scum to me

Contentless? The post I quote was reason enough to vote, and I explained further after that. If you disagree with my vote there's nothing wrong with a contrary opinion, but framing my argument like that is weird and scummy. That said, after rereading I'm more leery of the fact that Hermetic jumped on the Biaga vote and hedged it at the same time which definitely pings my scumdar.

I still have no scum pings from Kashuno, despite the fact that he seems to be one of the main focuses.

Also I'm sorry for not posting a lot, I'm not great at engaging in D1.

Those who were in Foo's first XCOM game can attest that I was stingy with my vote then as well, so I won't argue on that point.

Quick thoughts before I run off to work:

Hermetic - For the reasons I posted above, I am most confident about this vote.

Colonel Corazon - I need to see what kind of revised case CC has. He says that he's got a detailed read on Gabriel Pop, Kashuno, and Hermetic.

For now, I'll put my money where my mouth is, and ##vote Hermetic. This may change based on today's discussion.

That's fine - it can just read as a bit apprehensive and looks bad in retrospect in certain situations, also bit of a scum tell when you don't want to hard commit to anything and play the fence a bit, especially for newer players. In my time on these forums, rarely do you ever see newbie scum go all gung ho with a case on somebody - they like to sit back and let things unfold, sometimes to their detriment.

It's partly why I think Kashuno reads town to me. It's not that he's being super aggressive or anything, but he's like an uncaged bird, you know? Free from all the tyranny ITT ~

I love that Gabriel Pope and Kumbamontu are leading the charge against me for not answering their questions, yet Biaga hasn't posted in, like, a day and a half. Don't worry, though. No one is protecting their scumbro. It's not like the whole thing reeks of him being told "play dead until the bandwagon stops" or anything. Not sure which one of the two is coaching him yet, but Kumbamontu is reading as either frustrated town or tryhard scum.

My vote stays where it is, and will do so until my hilarious lynching.

Speaking of which, when I'm at -1, let me know, and I'll make my last post and self-hammer, K?

Why are you sounding so defeated? Your job is to prove us wrong, no matter how awful you think the case is made against you - make us think you're so overwhelming towny that you flip this whole thing around and give us a bunch of good stuff to look back on D1 towards certain people.

You're only ahead by 1 vote, and -2 from lynch.. I'd much rather you claim at some point if you're still lead vote getter instead of self-hammering out of spite if we indeed are wrong.

It's less the defeatism being scummy, but the tone of it. Like he's feigning defeatism and trying to get us to back off. He has an attitude of "Go ahead and lynch me...BUT YOU'LL BE SORRY!" It feels a tad off to me.

You said this regarding Biaga, but now you're doing the exact same thing. You are giving this strong defeatist attitude, going so far as to say you will self lynch and that your lynch will be hilarious. You found it scummy when Biaga did it, why would people not find it scummy when you do it?

What I meant by least town play possible, is that it is actively unhelpful to town. There is a lot of information that can be gained by who is and isn't on the vote, and especially the hammer if they do it early/at a weird time, etc. If you are town, self-hammering is effectively denying your own team information.

Not being defeatist, still scumhunting. Biaga has been coached to keep his mouth shut while his scumbros get the heat off stopped posting. If anything, being this close has made me post a little more. I just think it's hilarious that everyone went from a solid lynch to "HERMETIC ISN'T MAKING A BUNCH OF DECLARATIONS 2 DAYS OUT FROM HAMMER! gently caress HIM IN THE rear end!" but whatevs. I'm literally the only person still on Biaga, so it was a good tactic.

You keep pushing me as scum, but refuse to drop the hammer, now that I've redefined 6 as my lynch value. You don't want to be seen as the one who does me in, so to speak.
