I don't think Met's claim that revealing our role flavor will really help us at all, but I'm not at all seeing how it's harmful. Then again, I have a pretty boring role. Maybe people with more exotic roles have fruit/vegetables that make sense with their role?

Honestly I am at an 11-hour work shift so I've only had time to read and less time to think; I think Met is town and that's my only comfortable read so far.

Rereading the thread and some things stick out to me:

soscannonballs posted:

Its not uncommon for scum to get fakeclaims from the mod.

Poison Mushroom has given fakeclaims in the two games of hers I have played as scum in. I still don't think claiming our flavors is a particularly bad thing to do but people shouldn't be claiming their roles because nobody is that goddamn stupid. I don't think Met's likely scum.

Harold Krell posted:

Now, for me, this has been the most suspicious post I have currently seen throughout this game.

First of all, this player was able to claim his role so bluntly that it automatically leads to suspicion in the first place.

Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, this person has claimed as a Pistachio, which is not neither a FRUIT nor a VEGETABLE, meaning his claim must be false due to process of elimination. This means that this player is either lying about his role in order to avoid suspicion or using as a ruse to manipulate others, both indicative of scum.

Thirdly, I think what I primarily dislike is that his post is simply one word without explaining what his role is exactly useful for. This shows signs of trying to "slip through the cracks" as the expression is called in order to say things without actually having to SAY things.

I believe these accusations alone for now are appropriate enough to say that this person is ideal for scum.

##vote Met

This is a vote based on a joke on the second page of the thread. Any further statements have been essentially "if you were town nobody would be voting you :) :) :)". They are not driving discussion, providing evidence or presenting any compelling alternatives.

Currently I am most comfortable with ##vote Abyssal Squid as their posting so far hasn't been great. They claim fits' posting is garbage, which I don't think is true, and their last post here:

Abyssal Squid posted:

And one last word in my defense: let me live today and I'll explain myself further, besides the fact that I'm a rank newbie. It's not much but it's all I've got besides claims of innocence (which are true but unprovable).

is pretty drat pathetic. "Oh, I'm innocent, I promise!" Statistically, we're all innocent. It's a useless thing to say.

Met posted:

The people that look worse to me today are the people who have not revealed their flavor. Scum won't want to have to come up with fruit that other people won't claim and I don't believe Poison Mushroom would have set up fake claims for the Scum this game because it is a bit of a newbie game and my experience with Poison Mushroom's games is that she wouldn't have set that up.

Fakeclaims would actually make it easier for newbie scum, though, wouldn't it? Giving them a ready-made fake claim.

I've had two games run by PM where I was scum and both times I got a fakeclaim. Poison Mushroom even goes as far as to give you a new fakeclaim if you don't like yours.

I think you edited it more because it looked scummy. Moreover, I claimed my flavor but never agreed with your plan - I said it was, as best, harmless.

I really don't like that you edited your post outside of changing spelling/grammar per the rules for the game.

It's hard to tell if Met is melting down or just super frustrated.

I'm cool with voting Met and then hitting Scrap Dragon for lurking. Or the other way around.

I have been rereading this with some regularity and I am totally lost. I am still pretty upset about Met but at the same time a lot of arguments against him just don't hold any water at all. HiipFire hasn't posted for poo poo, though, and what little he's posted is... well. Not great.

This one, for starters:

##vote Met

Met never claimed pistachio. Nobody seems to be willing to point at Harold Krell for such a bluntly untrue statement. In fact, Harold's got the worst signal-to-noise ratio out of every single poster this game and nobody seems to be willing to call him on it. What gives? Other people have claims against Met but none of them are this lovely. Pintrest Mom and fits have much better cases against Met but I still don't think a mass flavor-claim is an inherently scummy move.

I think tomorrow we really need to look at Harold Krell and decide if we want him around any further or not.

Fits hasn't posted since voting, which is suspicious; you'd think that if it was a good vote that there'd be more casing done, especially as the game gets closer and closer. "gut vote lol" is pretty lovely on day 3.

Harold Krell posted and made some OK points. Not much since. Mostly sanctimonious bullshit to be honest? Am I the only one with this opinion?

Scrap Dragon is ??? and honestly might just get a modkill at this rate. Surprised it hasn't happened already. I think scum would lurk, but I also think they'd be a bit more invested in the game.

I want to reread fits when I'm not on my phone.
