The meinberg case is solid and I'll be happy to flip my vote to him if he's a viable lynch for today, but hey seriously, look at KFC:
What kind of weak sauce, wishy-washy, easily washed away defense is that? "Noooo guys he's totally suspicious but not scum, look at me justify not voting for him but also leaving myself a retreat for when he flips scum and people start looking for his buddies"

Andy's tone in this game is super-emotive with little solid analysis. It's pinging my gut because I know he's a smart guy capable of good logical thinking. I think he's hiding behind emotive language on purpose to excuse himself from serious scum hunting.

In other news, the discussion between Byers and Magnus makes me feel good about Magnus not being scum (though I haven't ruled out him being a SK, we'll see how tonight goes on that), this reads like Meinberg's town game to me and merk is a blue furry guy irl.

Hang on Magnus, your claim makes zero sense. What's the point of adding an extra fuel if you're immediately going to dayvig one of the people who gets the fuel? Passing fuel is a night action so there's zero fuel gain for town.

Rarity

I'm not doubting the veracity of the claim, I'm doubting that it's a town role. It screams 3P to me. Also, I don't like how Magnus said that we'd be able to have the fuel transferred before he uses his vig.

I concede some of the semantics, but baseless vaguely personal standard mafia aggression is certainly a tool in merk's toolbox, even if it doesn't manifest itself in the way some other players get "mean" -- cultivating something else to draw from so you can be obtuse at will seems like it serves a scum agenda more than a town one.

merk is more than capable of implying your inferiority and idiocy without resorting to direct attacks and if he wanted to bring it out in this game then he easily could. He works hard to present himself in an "I'm better than you" manner that's designed to intimidate. My read on merk right now is that he wants us to think he doesn't really give a poo poo so that when he does start to play we see him as coming along to save us and thus we end up following him to lynch the people he wants lynched.

Quidnose posted:

I don't like this reasoning, solely because you quotes are all him defending himself. Is he supposed to do Jake's legwork for him if he feels he's being misrepresentative? He's not hiding behind emotive language, he's defending himself. You can't scum hunt while you're on the defense. Take it from me, I am the expert at getting stuck defending yourself.

I'm going to leave aside the fact I did actually have a quote of him scum hunting to address your conceit. It's possible to defend yourself while staying calm (I'm doing it right now, for example) and I think Andy's perfectly capable of that. Also, it's easy to switch from defence to scum hunting. It's just like this:

QuoProQuid posted:

Truly and honestly, I don't understand what the confusion is. I want to talk about other things but other players keep telling me that I am unclear and need to explain myself better. What am I not doing correctly? What further information do you need? At what point can we move forward?

QPQ's frustration here reads as genuine. It looks like he said something dumb and now is getting continually blasted for it. I've been there so I know what that's like.

QuoProQuid posted:

4.) DGK's vote on merk reads as reactive, especially following his defense of Meinberg (7). Suggest re-examining if Meinberg flips scum.

I'm not a fan of that DGK vote either. It's a safe vote that doesn't require any real casework because of merk's behaviour so far.

DGK, who would you vote for if you couldn't vote merk?

I did a reread of the initial attacks over QPQ and this is the post that jumped out at me:

KhyrosFinalCut posted:

QPQ how serious is this vote?

I think this is one of those questions that's just setting someone up for a fall. I think if KFC genuinely felt suspect about QPQ's vote then he would have just jumped straight into a case. Instead he gives him some extra rope so that he can make his vote look more convincing.

KFC posted:

I don't think it's a towering intellectual feat of scumhunting, or that it's even accurate, but I think it's more plausibly geniune than QPQs.

This is a comment on Byers's vote, which is practically identical to QPQ's. It's a weak response.

KFC posted:

I don't think there's any evidence that they're scum together, if anything it's seeming to me more like a one of but not both situation. QPQ is my current frontrunner. I'm watching xopods more carefully.

I didn't see Andy's idea that KFC was advocating a chain lynch earlier but this post is a much more evident example of him setting it up.

KFC posted:

The chain lynch argument can be taken out and shot. I make NO attempt to hide that I'm going to draw conclusions from that interaction when one of them flips. Who wouldn't look at that angle?

More on the chain lynch. Town players know that there's very little to draw from a town flip, especially on D1. Town get things wrong and we all know it. This is setting up the opportunity for further lynches based on manufactured reasoning.

KhyrosFinalCut posted:

One is mostly a tone read based on context, the other is attributing moderately extensive logic to what was much more likely a flip joke.

Much more importantly why on earth would you only come out with that _NOW_ since it's been the crux of my argument on QPQ this whole time and a huge topic of discussion overall?

Just because people use different methods to scum hunt it doesn't make their votes any less genuine.

I've been really busy this week cause I've been moving house so I haven't had time for more than initial tone reads. But like I said earlier, I wanted to reread the cases against QPQ because I'm leaning town on him and I think he was being targeted by scum.

I'm not allowed to judge how plausibly honest someone is being by examining how they are claiming to hunt scum in the context of when they are claiming to do it? Are you SERIOUS?

KhyrosFinalCut posted:

Because the MOST logical explanation for JakeP's post is that he is making a joke about needing smoothies rather than fuel because he is organic and not a machine because that's being silly and making a joke in jokephase like people loving do. Claiming that his follow on of not needing fuel is a serious attempt to achieve town cred or claim that only scum would want fuel are both wild leaps of logic that are not founded.

I respect a tone read in this context more than the idea that a relatively non serious poster was machinating something that relied on unfounded assumptions during early d1.

Except it seems to me that both Byers and QPQ are having the same reaction to Jake's post, they're just expressing it in different ways.

Looking back, I really don't like this vote. DGK has a strong read on merk as scum and votes for him most of the day but then happily switches to the player merk is targeting with no real explanation or even acknowledgement of his previous read. It's a thought process that lacks consistency.
