I haven't checked the thread since thursday and holy hell are there posts. Could someone helpfully summarize what has happened so far
I made a really obvious and lazy joke that somehow killed jokephase when some people entirely missed the joke and then other people critized those people.

Squiggly claimed he's a miller and that if two people vote him he can let the town talk at night, but later clarified that it turns on the next night and he has charges for that power anyway so he doesn't need votes anyway and also it's actually twilight we can talk during???

Apart from the maigius thing those are the two main important points, I think.

i dont think the twilight thing is important. thats just some people describing "night we can talk during" as "twilight" and then squiggly using the same terminology when responding to them

It's really important! Twilight is the period between hammer and flip, getting to talk just then versus getting to talk during the entire night is a huge difference.

I'm currently wondering how town magic users gain charges. Voting for the winning vote getter, or over time are my best guesses. Using a different power of theirs has also come up as a possibility.

So remember when I was dumb this morning about someone wondering about multiple scum groups (which I still think merits discussion) and a fake N0 cop? (Yes I know my bad)

This is even dumber!

I notice that not a lot of people are voting Scientastic, who is the scummiest person in the game right now. You should all do that.

Spoonsy's vote on Hum seems lazy and superficial, but you could say the same about the people voting for him. There have been a lot of lazy, superficial votes this game e.g. on the Andy joke scumclaim... I think that's more a symptom of the game size than an alignment tell on D1.

I don’t really see this holding water against Spoonsy. Yeah he was wrong and believed kind of a stupid joke but I don’t think the thought process on display here is scummy. Real scum would have none this would not have worked and not so eagerly jumped into promotion of a chain lunch this early D1z

These are both bad takes imo

Setup speculation is both meaningless content AND in this case because we know nothing outside of the OP also safe content so I see your point here.

Also people voting Spoonsy for that thing earlier are bad I think we may have another Liger situation on our hands...

I really don't like this whole "I was just kidding to provoke a reaction" backpedal. The original vote on Andy didn't seem like a joke to me, especially not after this response to me:


It's scummy the way he's now backpedaling from it and making it out like the whole point from the start was to see who'd react. Especially when supposedly scummy reactions include: (1) Voting Andy, (2) Defending Andy, (3) Being on the fence about Andy.

This feels lacking. Like, if there's a scummy argument to be made about Sci it's that he's still maintaining Andy's scummy based on his joke but he's moving on and making an effort to reanalyze in a way that I can see from a town mindset

idk that I buy xopods believes this

I am fully on board with executing Steak, but I think Tom is making the mistake of seeing Steak incredible scummy posting and seeing Steak as scum.

I buy Squiggly’s power, but I can definitely see that as a scum role. I may have missed this, but is he claiming that he can create masonry with selected townies, or twilight?

Because one could absolutely be a scum power role and the other is so toothless that I can’t believe it’s the only thing he has. I don’t believe that “you get to occasionally make twilight” would ever be someone’s only power, because it’s just so lame.

Try reading it again. He explicitly ties the whole “gotcha” to N0 action speculation, referring to Cpig’s obviously fictional cop call.

Spoonsy posted:

I’m on mobile but does the OP say anything about N0 actions? Either way, between that and this statement of two scum groups (which once again, mobile, but has anyone else brought up?), I feel comfortable in ##vote Humalong

Then he explicitly states that he buys the cop claim so much that if Hum isn’t scum, we should be suspicious of CPig

Spoonsy posted:

If I’m wrong we look at CapitalistPig tomorrow.

And doubles down on believing the cop claim

Spoonsy posted:

I’m willing to go with the cop who had 0 reason to claim at this moment

Then backs out of that part of it when pushed, claiming it was not the cop claim really, even though he has pretty much stated that the cop claim is a major part of his thought process

Spoonsy posted:

Also my vote is less on the cop, more on the statement of two scum groups. But the cop sure as heck helps.

And finally, he flips away from this with an advantageous newbie vote, voting for someone literally playing their first game, who is an easy target.

Spoonsy posted:

The “believing Cpig” part of this is not why Spoonsy deserves to be voted, although it is enough for me: it’s the disingenuous behaviour afterwards, trying to reframe the narrative.

Also, anyone who votes Maigius is not only bad at mafia, they are mean.

I won’t be voting Maigius for at least the first few days, because

1. it’s impossible to draw an alignment call from someone so new
2. if he’s scum, he will out all his scum buddies because he’s new
3. someone’s first experience of mafia shouldn’t be being shouted at and executed for trying to play the game

And here was the CPig claim:

CapitalistPig posted:

I got a night 0 cop and it said humalong is scum

##vote humalong

Spoonsy's votes aren't great here mainly because he's taking two jokes at face value. He says he's phone posting, ok, but I don't see how you can form a strong enough opinion to "feel comfortable" voting Humalong based on this. Feels like you're trying to make it look like you're scum hunting.

I also think all of the votes on Spoonsy were entirely justified and I don't think any of them are scummy, with the exception of maybe dmboogie. But I think it's more likely that he saw this spoonsy's post and genuinely thought it didn't need rehashing, unlike what I just did now because it was 100+ posts ago.

What was bad about those votes? They saw a pretty scummy post and reacted accordingly. And the case had merit unlike the CapnAndy "scumclaim" stuff from earlier.
