I'm doing another catch-up post sorry

Slaan posted:

What I'm seeing is Tobbs trying to get basic information put out that that he thinks is useful for battlefield strategy.

Then Kashuno and others massively overthinking things and pointing to rules that may or may not actually work like they are claiming. I'll take more information, not making GBS threads on it, thanks.

tobbs' revelation seemed ill-thought out and spur of the moment much more than deliberately planned, so everyone who was focusing on the claim for whether it's pro-town or not is barking up the wrong tree (the answer is it's antitown, but not hugely so). Looking over all of his posts with the benefit of rest, I think he's more likely to be town than scum; the attacks on Kashuno in particular make me think reflexive, defensive town, which I think outweigh the negatives of the haphazard distraction-seeking (see: whatever the hell his vote on YPM was). Additional plus for seemingly being genuine about his mechanics speculation, as all the pieces of his posts fit into the "I preempted his insight, then got into a shoving match with kashuno" world

What you're claiming here is that it was cold-planned as a helpful thing rather than a "look at this shiny minor roleclaim" thing, which...that's unlikely given that his other posts are weird attacks, mechanics chat, or responses to other people

Why did you do Texas first? That's what's weird to me. Imo priority one is sussing out the scum in our thread.

they had lots of answers while we, in jokephase, had basically nothing. Like yeah scumhunting hooray but unless you're real invested in TMM and MMT mirroring votes on one another for fun, there's not really much to be done there so early on

btw I like you and your desire to actually follow up on questions

Anyway, more:

I like MMT's vote on kashuno because I agree with her that Kashuno was looking at tobbs a bit skewedly (because of a real scumread or an affected one); I don't know that it's a fantastic case overall, but the vote itself is good

Truth Quark's post immediately following feels like it might be scum jumping on the "I called tobbs as town" train, making me feel better about tobbs and worse about TQ

Oh cool MMT's calling him out, I like her even more, and so is Quid too

I've seen enough to drop a ##vote Truth Quark, he's got himself tied to a whole lot of people right now even independent of my scumread on him.

Rest of my suspicions are Gamer, for...well, everything, Hats because of my previous small case and really not liking the dumb tautology he just posted, and I guess chaoslord because he hasn't done anything to shift my earlier read

Was away for most of the day, but I'm going to have to agree with the Kashuno side of things. I don't think Tobbs' initial post was inherently scummy, but the defenses of it since then have felt... what's the opposite of compelling? Uncompelling? Noncompelling? I think it's uncompelling.

I don't get this post. Kashuno is saying he thinks Tobbs is dumb not scum, which you are saying you agree with. But then you're saying that Tobbs followups are uncompelling. Does that mean you think he's being disingenuous? Town not scum? Are you purposefully not committing to making an alignment call on Tobbs here? What's the deal, Hats.

These are all the times you mention Tobbs after going hard on him:

Kashuno posted:

I’d be willing to buy the Tobbs is Town with really dumb opinions, becaus ethat is his style

That to me is a reversal of opinion.

Kashuno posted:

Oh my god look people he other thread is people who can read(?) and make battle plans off of what we post they aren’t loving robots. REVEALING SPECIFICS ABOUT YOUR ABILTIIES AND ROLES FOR NO GAIN IS NON TOWN SO PLEASE SHUT THE gently caress UP

Don’t @ me

I mean I guess you're saying he's scum here but you just said that he probably isn't so I read this as you just telling people not to argue about this anymore because Tobbs isn't right about it? It easily aligns with your "yeah maybe he's just dumb" post above.

Kashuno posted:

It doesn’t matter if there are ways to do it that help town if he objectively picked the one that helps everyone but town

Again, this isn't really alignment indicative.

Kashuno posted:

Big king man backin up my opjnik. And everyone hold s his opinion higher than than mine so maybe now people will realize TOBBS WAS WRONG

And neither is this.

You have not mentioned him since then. It's a little weird given your post history you're acting like I should have known what you were talking about here, because...you definitely are not being clear. I didn't realize you were still voting him because I thought you changed your mind???

Kashuno posted:

Tobbs this is a weird reach even for you. I’m saying the tank claim is similar to a BT claim because of the following:

“I can take a beating but not do much damage” is similar to a VT claim, in that you have given the opposing team a lot of information without helping Town much. It tells their team to either ignore you and spread their attacks elsewhere, OR to bang you down in a massive attack. It ALSO tells the scum team in our thread information about who not to target with their abilities because you outright stated you are low damage and therefore unlikely to assist much in terms of killing the other side. You gave both the other thread and the scum team far more information than you have given Town, and furthermore painted yourself in a way that the other team could ignore you in combat

Not good for Town, very good for not Town. You are therefore not town

Also I feel like this got swept under the rug but I think it’s the scummiest post in the thread.

Kash - why would a scum Tobbs use the thread to signal anything to his team instead of using his scumdoc?

I don't like this post because it feels very much like a 'Hey, I'm in this game!' post.

Also, I don't believe anyone in this thread has mentioned getting an early hammer or putting real pressure on someone with a lot of votes. However, when I was skimming the other thread last night, I did notice that Bif made a post about early hammers and not wanting her thread to push people past -3 or so without checking with her first.

So it also kind of reads like maybe PMush is more interested in the other thread rather than this one.

Why would scum Kash be the first to wave the around the "make no claims at all" flag and do so immediately? In a mafia game, sure, that establishes town cred because scum is just going to NK anyway, but this isn't mafia, it's a soldiers game. Getting people to soft claim roles like that is incredibly useful to the other side, to the point of basically giving them the game imo. I don't think that's worth a town-read as scum.

Kashuno reads as town to me in general, although admittedly he always does, but I feel that point in particular sets him up.

When Shine surfaced in New York City during the height of Prohibition, people naturally compared it to the most similar thing they were already drinking - moonshine. (Naturally, that led to its naming.) But when Shine came to Mexico, people had a different comparison in mind... tequila. Whether it was an apt likeness or not, that mattered little to small distilleries eager to get out of the flooded (soaked?) tequila market and make something new. Thus, as Shine rose to prominence in Mexico, tequila began to decline.

It was one such recently-converted distillery in Celaya, caught up in its new Shine creation and experimentation, that caught Pancho Villa's eye while out on an early morning ride and gave him the spark of an idea that would change the world forever...
