also KB: I was thinking about those posts of mine that you quoted from the shine game. remember i was turboed d1 in that game even though (i thought) I had posted more detailed reads than i have in this game. so can you really blame me for trying a different strategy? i was a little overzealous and probably should not have breadcrumbed my role so early in this game, but i never thought i would be attacked so aggressively by a few players in this game. i don't get it

You didn't get cuddled for posting reads in that game. So no, I don't believe that you deliberately set out to give less reads this game due to your performance in last that had nothing to do with that.

and if he's really vanilla, would he have Tifa for flavor? It sounds more like he's trying to show off a badass fakeclaim that he thought would make him look super townie. And the possibility of a reflect power or something. He sounded like a brutal cop after his hinting yesterday, which should have made him a prime target for scum.

Yeah if people picked up a cop softclaim and didn’t kill him, that’s a bit weird. Another point in KB’s favour.

I guess I'm just bad, wrong and incomprehensible.

Still I'll continue to try...

I'm not saying that we should abandon trying to determine player motive altogether.

It's just that b-min's explanation of what they did seemed sufficient.

I feel like analysis of this specific behavior from him won't result in anything logical and will only continue to make him look worse.

I mean haven't you all acted illogically in a mafia game before, or are you all perfectly understood, perfectly sensible super detectives at all time? :v:

Other people have other reasons but:

Let’s say that you (b-minus) had someone you leaned scum on (LMac). Someone else in the thread (YPM) is focusing on the person and questions him as soon as he appears on things that you thought he was scummy for.

Would you characterize that back and forth between the person you thought was scummy and the person targeting him as “weird”?

Other people have brought up other internal inconsistencies in b’s reasoning. It’s not just not logical. It’s manufactured and contradictory.

I think flerp tends to tunnel, what I’m picking up on this time is it’s going on a bit longer than usual.

It comes across almost like self parody which generally means scum trying to replicate their Town game.

FSN is bad, your game was fun to watch tho

Anyway I want actual reads this time and not "Bif good because meta, Juchero bad because vig and blaming TM for it".

I looked at b-:

Don't love him coming in and asking if anything has happened, seems like a way to artificially catch up with the thread discussion and avoid conversation leading up to it, justification for NGO lynch is...questionable, call for NL isn't sucmmy but is stupid, metacommentary on db wagon at the time looks bad, post-lynch commentary looks fine, targeting is egregiously stupid, claim didn't come from nowhere, seems to have come out due to frustration, case against NGo is good up until the motive speculation, don't like how he framed the list of people against him (like, if people think you're scum, of course they want you to die), very much dislike response to flerp being a flailing metascumread.

Lots of stuff I don't like, a small amount of stuff I do.

I'll check Moat next then finally do that gaspy read, ew

This is a bad vote.

Day 1, Gaspy is siding with Beemen on the unpopular no lynch being a viable move for the end of that day, but without any mention of him until he comes under fire by KB.

KB's post is also weird for the reason that he says he picks up a brutalcop softclaim, but that lends itself to speculation entirely. I mean even if the crumb could be interpreted as such, hinging suspicion on that in combination with perceived shifts in the claim seems more dangerous than not.

Gaspy places his SCUM! vote, but doesn't do anything to substantiate it outside of the contexts of other player's cases.

This is bad too. I mean how many people aside from Bif and KB call his crumb a brutal cop claim?

Bifauxnen posted:

and yes he did announce it D1, he said I would live to see the next day. Like KB, I also thought at the time that he must've meant either a brutal cop or some sort of protective role. But I couldn't see why he'd actually announce either so I thought he might be pulling gambit poo poo.

Even here, Bif admits she thought it could have been some other protective role.

With no guarantee of him being a cop or having just some protective role, or better yet because it's true in the context of the game day, any idea about his role at all, why would scum target him?

He made a loud crumb during jokephase, claims it to have been a legitimate crumb, and I feel like the cases on him rely on perceived contradictions in the claim, his lack of judgment and his possible power role.

The fullclaim comes day 2, but even then. If he seemed dangerous, why would scum bank a move on him?

I don't think Bif, Gaspy and KB are scum, but I think at least one of them are almost guaranteed to be scum.

I think gaspy looks the worst.

I can't speak for others but I think your pushing on KB was very, very stretched. And the way you showed up all suss on him but making a show of how you hadn't read the last few pages was weird. And it was also weird that you cased him then threw out some quickie case of "one of these is a scum vote" on some other people but then voted me who you seemed to be casing the least.

Little Mac posted:

As far as the last two pages go I think flerp comes off looking pretty bad imo. I don't believe B-Minus claim. It reads like loving around and is a weird point for flerp to push

So you don't believe my claim, but at the same time you think flerp, who has repeatedly said he thinks i am lying scum, also looks bad? Look, you either believe my claim or you don't. It's that simple. I've fullclaimed everything about my role and it's up to you to decide if you believe it. This post makes no sense.

Little Mac posted:

it's basically jumping on something minute and bad to push a person

which in general seems to be a problem I'm seeing in this game.

I agree with this, however. I'm still somewhat in disbelief that I'm going to be lynched for what I thought were really harmless posts. If I could repeat d1 again I obviously wouldn't say anything about my role, but I did not expect this to blow up in my face, seemingly out of nowhere. Overall, there just seems to be a lot of unnecessary aggression and I don't understand why.

Exactly. I was purposely trying to be vague. You're welcome to think that breadcrumbing an important town role was really stupid (and clearly most of you do). But that's what happened, as you all will see if/when I die. I am not vanilla town.
I protected bif n1 and was told my action was successful.

I know absolutely nothing about final fantasy so I have no argument about whether Tifa makes sense for Elite Bodyguard. All I can say is what I've repeatedly said. It's not a fake claim, I'm not vanilla town, I'm not scum, I'm a town aligned elite bodyguard.

Can't say the same about any of your posts, which is why I have voted to lynch you. You've done nothing to convince me otherwise.
