Adventure comes from insufficient planning.
Boy that was a lot to catch up on, after a page of notes, they are aligning almost exactly with the cases that xopods and merk have presenting on KK.

From my notes:

KK – RP Hufflepuff, real weird, interrogated amnistar for being concerned about people supporting him, says it is questionable for amni to question the support, they flips and says they never thought amni was scum, real silent since especially when getting heat.

##vote KK

Other Notes:

I found Sci scummy at the beginning but anyone who ends joke phase gets the benefit of the doubt.

Mikujin - giving me vibes as they imply various flavor items

ZZyzk - I don't like the move of changing Dexanth nickname to count Lumpen votes

xopods - clearly making a case against KK, has made a couple of other cases, feels town

Sandwolf - not sure, fight with Capn Andy feels a bit off for Sand

Capn Andy - See comment about Sandwolf, defends Liger awkwardly

Amni - strongly feel this is town amni, questioning anyone who agrees with him

kingcobweb - fakes a claim of catching PQ lying, feels scummy

Kash - feels town to me

merk - feels very town to me, has made a good case against KK before I did

Spoonsy - claims D1 lunch is a crapshoot, almost advocates a no lunch which I oppose to based on policy

I get what you're saying, but I have also been on scum teams where someone is absolutely getting railroaded/heat is headed their way and they don't really answer the calls/warnings/pleadings of their scumbuddies, so all of that stuff could still be very well happening in theory.

Personally, the more I've been reading, the more I think KK is a sacrifice.

Hmm, the slapfighting with Amni looks like Andy just has an outsized ego :laugh: so maybe he's not scum after all, monitoring.

xopods posted:

Yeah, merk's right about this guy... I was reading a bunch of random people earlier trying to see what my gut was telling me and he was on the short list.

##vote Kashuno

HmMmMmMmMm. xopods popping out of nowhere and hopping on the weakest read merk had? Followed up by a bandwagon Humalong vote for trite? Scum has this tendency to pop up and throw a vote on something they see as having legs and Kashuno, if memory serves, is reviled and easy to vote for. I doubt scum would be so bold as to put 2 of 3 votes on a guy early, though, so I'm going to say one of these guys is scum and the other two aren't.

Kashuno posted:

That’s a really good catch on KK ##vote KK

E+ I see a lot of commentary on right now I’ll try and reread after breakfast and put some thoughts together

OTOH what the hell is this? The case on Kruel is this:

xopods posted:

The first two mostly for gut feel reasons, but then the third one the combination of "nothing has really blew my skirt up" followed by "this screams scum" is inconsistent. It may seem like a little thing, but to me it gives the impression of someone who:

  1. Was initially only intending to post the first bit
  2. Decided that posting only Town reads was going to attract suspicion
  3. Felt he should include a Scum read and vote and went to find something he could vote on
  4. Forgot that he'd just said he didn't have any strong Scum reads and overstated his case

##vote KK but would still vote Kash or E+.

Preview Edit: Dammit DBD beat me to this

Kashuno under heat and suddenly and immediately willing to throw down on the first case they saw? Because surely xopods' case on KK isn't strong - it's a lot of conjecture as to what the poster is thinking rather than clear cut observation of what they said. Also, if anything, a careless post where one begins saying "I don't feel a certain way" that ends with a case feels more town as they didn't meticulously curate their post to ensure consistency. That was such a common problem way back when - a lack of consistency was taken to mean scummy, that it was a scum slip to change your feelings on something without that all-important "I'm changing my mind" sentence. Scum used that line of argumentation quite often! Kashuno, you were around when it was a problem - why did you forget this?

The reading trudges on.

D1. KK and xopods are scum. KK has to check out of the game, but doesn't have a strong/interesting enough scum power to be worth getting a replacement for when xopods can get a slam dunk D1 bus and set himself up as being God-Emperor of Mafia.

Excuse me, my case was excellent.

However, it hasn't gone unnoticed by me that Kash's vote did seem to have a strong self-preservation instinct to it. If I'm wrong about KK I imagine Kash will still be on my scum shortlist tomorrow.

I'm not linking myself to merk or DBD guys, I was just happy to see merk come down so firmly in favor of a KK lunch, not only because it's the lunch I want too but because I think it's good when the lunch is someone that a few people feel very strongly about.

Guys, do you see this? Please take the time to peruse what I've said about xopods to this point and now add in a post wherein the poster known as "xopods", one of the board game lords, details his consideration about how he links up with other posters. Why would anyone be thinking about that kind of stuff if he were town? Scum would sure be interested in if a poster came down in favor of their posts, though! I'm going to revise my earlier statement - it is either xopods or merk (and leaning xopods), not both.

I get a town read from yuming as she is confident and self righteous and also very obvious when scum, and to answer her query about EP: I think he has a high ratio of posts that are responses to posts about himself, which reads poorly. I think he votes for Andy, which is wrong but understandably so if you don't consider a giant ego at work. I think that EP has always been the same poster and that poster is an unfunny winvirus if ever I saw one. You're attacking a lack of content and weak reads but that is an attack on the person. The part of your case that is persuasive/that I agree with is the matter of a lack of care and, when added with self obsession, agree that he looks scummy.

What do you think about my xopods case?

You really want me to quote 8 pages of posts to identify why I feel on each player? Especially since a lot of the posts have been quoted by other people, but if you insist, I will. How about for ease of everyone's eyes, you pick three and I will justify my reads on them with quotes.

I will grant that you have a few reads also so I don't think you are scummy. I just think we haven't played before.

I think I was chosen as an easy opportunity to appear like they were scum hunting. I have more than 5 posts so they didn’t have to appear like they’re picking a lurker, but I haven’t written any essays so it also gave them an easy angle to take.

you were chosen through the process of 'reading along the thread, I went 'wait huh this person is in the game and I clearly recall that but i know nothing they've said that was meaningful'

you having more than 5 posts is key yes because a lurker could plausibly have 'is lurking' as a defense to 'am not scumhunting aggressively' but you were continuing to emptycontentpost even well past that

These suspicions on Dex are extremely bad. Just because 'other players bad too' doesn't mean you shouldn't call out someone who caught your attention and it's weird to imply otherwise.

This is worth noting because yes. Also like, 27 people, I may not have done this in ages but I remember enough to know I am not getting 27 solid reads D1. Therefore its 'Hey, what do i see that's off' and that was off.

then i looked into it more and it felt still off

and since you know town wants to catch scum and part of that is actually making statements of belief for later scrutiny, this was one worth putting down

Of posters so far who've had considerable activity around them that I recall:

CapnAndy - Strong town read
Amnistar - Light town read
KK - Scum behavior; happy to vote
Xopods - Kingcobweb post is one I found myself agreeing with after reading Mikujin's response to it. Scummy behavior. Will vote, but like KK better
Mr. Humalong - Nothing about their defense has changed my feel on them. Still feels scummy. Not as scummy as KK, maybe a bit stronger than Xopods.

Happy to vote for any of the above 3, staying on Humalong for now because KK & Xopods both already under considerable not me scrutiny

Other rough reads:
DBD - Town vibes; not intense, not a strong read, just light vibes
Jose Valasquez - Town-ish vibes, also not intense read
merk - can't form opinion on at this time, want to but is reading like blank slate still
Scientastic - Townie, but still overly zealous in going SEE IM RIGHT good to know that hasnt changed
Tom Tucket - town vibes, see DBD/Jose
Yuming - Lol cant read her yet but old memory says scum Yuming tends to slip up anyways
Mikujin - Townie; about same level of townie read as scientastic


So there yall are 3 scumpicks havent really changed and I don't have more yet

So just to defend myself, if you look at the timing of the "I'm not really seeing a lot here" and "Jen X is scum", they happened around the same time. I hadn't seen Jen X's post when I made that post, and I also didn't put a lot of weight in it. I didn't like how Jen X was suspicious of CapnAndy and also suspicious of people voting for CapnAndy. Was waffly to me, and the best read at the time.

I think we have a cornacopia of scum reads now though.
