Ecco votes are bad votes.

The entire thing with dancer and the chat log and the completely derailing any meaningful conversation on day 1 is stupid.

If i had to vote someone from that fiasco I'd rather vote dancer.

Right now I am down with voting asf, toal, or dancer.

I thought that people believed that ASF’s town claim was legitimate considering the circumstances. He could be jumping the gun with being seen as suspicious, but maybe he was just twitchy and since he was going to bed/couldn’t be at the computer, knew that he was under the spotlight and wanted to get it out there.

I can see the logic of going for Dancer considering he was the one that brought it up and the waited a day before revealing what he had and then the entire avalanche that happened afterwards. I think there was claim for him being Willy in there, but apart from that, not much was really gained from the turn of events.

I’ve already said why I’m hesitant to vote for Toal so I’m not retreading that ground.

I’m keeping on Bow cause I don’t have enough to confidently go after Dancer, but I will keep an eye on him in future.

I really do think going the scum claim is the best.

If you think about it from Ecco's perspective, what do you get from claiming scum?

As a town:
If dancer claims scum with her then she comes to thread with the mirrored complaint about her masonry partner being scum. We have the same or a similar debate, because we can't be sure of what happened between them in the masonry or who's telling the truth and who's gambiting. This is the reward for the gambit as town Ecco.

As a scum:
If she's right, a traitor in a masonry with a scum member she gets to know her partner and not nightkilled depending on how much the scum team knows about a traitor.

If she's wrong, look at how divisive this has been. Scum team now knows not to night kill their traitor, if they've been told there's a traitor, and she flies under the radar for making a town gambit D1.

We would be in the exact same position whether the gambit succeeded or failed as town Ecco, but the gambit has benefits for the traitor regardless on whether it 'catches' dancer or not from the perspective of traitor Ecco.

I guess the gambit outcomes are like this:

Town Ecco
----------------------------
Success: (find scum) Trades Town Ecco for Scum Dancer (good trade!)
Failure: People lunch Ecco first and forget to follow through on Dancer D2.
Failure: Undetermined Dancer tells thread that Ecco scum claimed and we waste our time like this.
Failure: Undetermined Dancer keeps this to themself, and Ecco drops this claim in the masonry with a town read on Dancer.

Scum Ecco
----------------------------
Success: (find scum) Scum gets a hassle free other member.
Success: (goes public) Gambit gets towncred because apparently it's the obvious thing to do in a masonry. Makes Dancer look silly.
Success: (goes public) Scum team is now reasonably sure who traitor is if they didn't start the game knowing.
Failure: Scum Ecco gets lunched and we believe Dancer is townish, thus no trade.
Failure: Trades Scum Ecco for Undetermined Dancer (good trade for us! Bad for Ecco)
Failure: Undetermined Dancer keeps this to themself, and Ecco drops this claim in the masonry with a town read on Dancer.

I dunno. I realize it isn't a whole lot to go on, but I think there are benefits for scum Ecco claiming in the masonry.

voting me because I claimed scum in a private channel with a mason buddy is a really terrible reason to vote me. if you do so ignoring my content in the thread and the post-gambit chatlog you're even worse.

if you want to vote a lurker, vote for imgay, who is here and decidedly not playing mafia. if you want to vote for me or dancer, vote for me, because dancer is probably town. but that's a bad vote.

if you want to vote for ASF, that's probably a bad vote as well, for the reasons I've said.

if you want a good vote, vote for toalpaz. If you want a lazy vote, vote for imgay. if you want a stupid vote, vote for me.

you insult me by assuming I have such low ambition as to drag the thread into a he said she said and nothing more. you insult me by saying that I'd use the chatlog as evidence and nothing else. you insult me by saying these things, because you're saying I'm bad at mafia, and I'm not.

if dancer had said "wow really? sure, yeah I'm scum too" I'd have kept it in my pocket, attempted to ingratiate myself further, getting a list of potential scum players, and then when my ducks were in a row I'd not just claim but make an actual case using people's post histories.

relying on just the chatlog and "🤷‍♀️ what can we do???" is bad mafia play.

I would like people to comment on the following things:
- Toalpaz case
- The Gambit, or
- the Australians.

i dislike dancer's reticence about discussing Asphyxious, who I guess is also called Gaspy. In my initial role PM it said we were to be buddies, I hadn't noticed it was changed until after I started my Gambit and realized "dancer" was in the game and had the same username as my buddy. Humalong told us in our channel that it was because Gaspy was Australian and I, as an American, wouldn't have fun with him since we'd have such different schedules. this is incorrect, but also instead humalong paired me with a European, who actually has worse hours than me, which is very sad. This is inconsistent with what humalong said in the thread, which is problematic.

For no reason other than "I think my Gambit was the right idea" I suspect Gaspy is scum.

Humalong this is one of the reasons why you don't let people post chat logs, as a heads up. it turns private conversations into public spectacles, and that includes your contributions to our channel. I know you're a new mod but for the future, it's better to take a universal "don't post things that originated outside the thread" policy. I can't ignore that you've been inconsistent with why you paired me and Dancer together, and I suppose I should just PM you but that's not how I roll so, sorry!

here is a helpful mafia hint for you in the future. the reason why scum lurk is because attention is the last thing scum want. scum don't like having focus on them, because it means people are thinking about them. keeping a scum player in mind means:
- being the target of night actions
- extra scrutiny for their posting
- more likely to be a "gently caress it" vote.

in general scum aren't going to go all out on a silly gambit that hurts them more than it helps. I might do it anyway as scum to make things interesting for myself, but it's not as black and white as you paint it.

these posts are bad, they're fluff masquerading as scum hunting. if you want to be a better mafia player, make an actual case on me, perhaps by reading my posts. don't just post a list of pros and cons and going "I guess this is it!!"

Do you think scum also get really defensive when they have 4 votes on them Ecco?

Or are you too good for that too? Hahaha.

Listen, I just voted you for a over a hunch that you knew what you were doing looked town, and you were scum.

There's no need to mafia mom me because I'm casing you. If I believe that you're scum advising me how to hunt scum the 'right' way, I can't take you at your word. You're pulling rank here, when the majority of players here will decide who to lunch, and I won't be cowed.

Case who you want, to the best of your ability. If you're asking me to take your gambit without a grain of salt, and to believe everything you say now I wouldn't be 'investigating' at all. This is Day 1 and people get lunched over all sorts of stuff, I think my vote is fine, I think you're scum, and I'll stick to it.
