Throwing this out there - as a Nintendo Gamecube, I'm a VT.

We know there's two teams of scum out there based on the OP

we know there's an Xbox Kinect (and given Kerro immediately leaped on me for shitposting, he probably is a microsoft device also) so I theorise that we have a Microsoft scum team, and based on Pinterest Mom's post, and Poison Mushrooms post, a second Sega scum team.

~vote for me if you like, I am VT, and I'm not that invested in the game, all I ask is that if I do get turbolynched, and when it comes out that I am in fact VT, that you duders and duderinos look to the people who turbolynched me to see if the facts add up~

Hmm

Had a chance to think about it, see, while I'm alive, I'm a liability to town and mafia alike because this sudden interest in me as mafia makes it so town will never be sure that I'm not, and suddenly people are backing down on me since I posted that thing which makes me more sure that I'm on the right track (especially pinterest moms response, lol ok)

The best thing I can do to ensure a town win is flip town and ensure my ~theory~ is taken seriously

therefore turbolynch me you fuckers

I'd argue it's perfectly coherent.

There are two scum teams

I am Vanilla Town as Nintendo

We have one other person claiming microsoft, and two other people making lots of sega references.

But lets humour you ok, now that you're cooling down from your calls to lynchlynchlynch

Who do you see as Scum, why do you see them as Scum

Tithin, this post is stupid (which I will get to separately in a minute) but I feel that you are town for this.

As each scum team has only 2 members I think that the scum would be more likely to fight to stay alive since if they die they would be leaving their scum buddy all alone. I would not expect to see fatalistic scum, especially out of the gate.

fiery_valkyrie posted:

For tithin:

Why voting for yourself is stupid if you are town.
- town need to stay alive so the scum don't outnumber them
- if you are VT or a doc (which are the only town roles in this game) then the only person you can be 100% mod-confirmed certain is town is yourself.
- voting for mod confirmed town is stupid. There is a 0% chance you are scum! there is a >0% chance anyone else is scum. Therefore the odds that you will catch scum are better if you vote for literally anyone else.

Stick around and show that you are town through trying to hunt scum. Don't be all "oh this is so confusing for everyone now"

/mafia dad

I'm gonna reiterate what I said earlier - yesterday I was sleep deprived (had two nights running of nearly falling asleep 4-5 times and being woken by my kid) as balls and it affected how I was playing.

I don't think the logic chain of how I got to where I did is particularly hard to follow, and I still vaguely think there's something there, but given that Pmush has said not to read too deeply into it, I'm probably way off base.

Thanks for the advice though.

I mean Kerro's first vote seemed pretty non-jokey to me, tithin either made a poor play or was just temporarily stupid, aC flipflopped really quickly which reads kinda scummy to me. If you made me choose I'd say it's a coinflip between aC and Kerro but I am currently not comfortable voting either until I give it a better read.

Little of both.

I am around, but abstaining from voting today as I need to reabsorb the game and get my bearings on it again which I'm not likely to do for another 13 hours when I get home from work.

This being said, if Somb were scum, he'd have pushed as hard as possible to gank me, except he didn't, and he offered me advice instead which Scum wouldn't do. (scum doc etc)

They'd have pushed for the kill, which is the point that I think he was making on pmom - most people were willing to accept temporary stupidity / gently caress up on my part, but pmom wasn't.

Anyway, I'll check in via phone through the day but no effort posts.

I don't disagree with you that it was a poo poo house vote, but with only an hour left, and only one clear contender I thought I'd roll the dice because in the grand scheme of things, there being an hour left doesn't matter if no one else is there to vote.

I don't like bandwagons, but I did it because it was either lynch or miss out was my rationale.

Epsilon, Hurt, and Crocker

Hi, okay, I was asked to do a re-read of Epsilon, Hurt and Crocker, whether I think they're towny or scum, and possible quotes.

I'm also going to preface this by saying that for the minute? I'm not voting for anyone, plenty of time left.

Epsilon

Not a massive amount of posts (thank you) - and a lot of breadcrumbing that he's vaguely sega related.

Epsilon Plus posted:

btw quote this if you ever actually had a sega saturn/played Daytona USA on one

gotta know who's cool

Epsilon Plus posted:

I had a Genesis amd a Saturn

(there was a rumor that they would be backwards compatible. this was False.)

He's contradicted himself later by saying that his specific flavour is -

Epsilon Plus posted:

Just stopping by to state that my flavor is "Giant enemy crab", so I think Pintrest Mom is right in that town have silly names. I don't think this validates suspicion of Tithin, just want to clear the air so we can discuss more important things.

That's not neccessarily a sign of scumminess though - and giant enemy crab is a video game related meme, so I could vaguely buy it.

Outside of this, most of his posts are one or two sentences long, which could be a sign of scumminess or it could just be a sign of someone being unable to commit long term to a game.

There's not a whole lot of scum hunting going on in his posts either - mostly defending himself from Sombrero which I find difficult to find fault with, considering that I've spent a good chunk of my own posts defending myself from people.

Tithin Judgement - Lazy townie, low chance of being scum

Dr. Hurt

Lots of rolling start references, Whole lot of chatter.

Dr. Hurt posted:

Man where is everyone this game. Also yeah Capps why is Taste scum? He's just being a refugee from YCS.

Deadline is tomorrow. As of right now we've got Tithin's awful sleep deprived post calling Pin Mom a scum for Rolling Start.

Somber Bro, what's your reason for Epsilon besides gut? Gut and precedence?

We've got an interaction here between him and known scum - defending TT. This doesn't neccessarily mean he's (Dr Hurt) town in a game with two scum teams, but it's certainly a point in his favour.

Most of his content posts are questioning the reasoning behind why people are voting the way they are, and that's certainly not something most scum are going to try to encourage.

Dr. Hurt posted:

You want some thoughts? Here's some thoughts. Sombrero is tunneling like he typically does. A bloodhound with an axe to grind, particularly EP. I don't find EP that scummy, even based off Dragon's Highly lauded posts. Also fiery don't vote that. EP ain't scum.

I don't like how Pin Mom acted at the beginning of the day based off of this


and this


Mom knows it's bad, (says later that it's weak) but doubles down on it right after stepping off. His reasoning makes no sense and is forced trying to hedge somebody in a corner.

Would vote for mom.

This is probably the most telling post here - there's definitely a judgement made and reasons given - I am, however biased on this particular exchange, given the topic of conversation.

Judgement - 90% town, with a side of friendly banter.

Not much here for me to make a judgement call off given -

Also this is the scummiest person so far cool bye

##vote Somberbrero

Which is a really really weird vote made with no justification provided that I can read.

mfcrocker posted:

I dunno, EP has seemed significantly less poo poo at this whole thing than last game. I feel he's an easy target. Trust me, I'll be keeping my eye out, but for now I'm pretty happy.

Also I'm less distracted now as I got laid off a day early wooooooop

(sorry about the layoff Bud)

mfcrocker posted:

This is a town EP if you ask me.

Very defensive of EP - which is giving me cause to reconsider my "probably not scum" thoughts.

mfcrocker posted:

I'm Sony's $300 Persona 4 Portable machine, which is just great :3:

This however is the most curious to me - here's the flavours we know for a fact are real -

Genesis Does What Nintendon't (Vanilla Town) - Meme & Console
Facebook (Casual-aligned Scum) - Platform

Claimed roles

Nintendo's big purple lunchbox - Console - Tithin
Giant Enemy Crab - Meme - Epsilon Plus
The very existence of the Halo franchise - Pinterest Mom (this one stands out to me, as neither a meme nor a console reference, nor a platform)
"I'm pretty sure I'm just the wii-u. Aka the best console." - Somberbrero (can't make a judgement call without the full flavour)
Sony's $300 Persona 4 Portable machine - Meme & Console

In MFCrockers case, we've got something that's both meme AND console, which likely indicates he is town because it follows the standard naming convention we can see with the on confirmed flip we've got.

That said, this assumes he's not lying.

Tithin Judgement - Eh, 50/50, but possibly the scummiest I've seen next to Pinterest Mom.

And no, I won't do a thing on Pinterest Mom, because people know I've got an OMGUS against him, so anything I say won't be taken seriously. I'll let someone else do a read and post their impressions.

How the gently caress did you read what I wrote (and presumably my subsequent posts directed @ crocker) and take the exact opposite of both my intention and written word from.
