I'm rereading now for more pointed comments and the content posted thusfar is really lacking anyway so yeah, my vote is fine. You'll need to allow me time as I am also at work. Thanks for the concern though, Amnistar.

Mornacale's not a joke vote:


Mornacale's previous post 20 minutes earlier and one post up:


Voting me for continuing joke phase while himself posting jokes.

Made up case, bad vote, scumbo.

This case seems more made up than a self professed prod vote on Asiina. Not sure what to make of Mornacle but Asiina is on the scummy side of the spectrum because while I believe neither side believes in their vote, Asiina wants me to think that she does believe in hers.

This is a very scummy post. Being "weird" is the biggest copout you can give in mafia. Scum has the hardest time in the early game and this says to me "having a hard time". Would vote.

What do you mean 'no performing monkeys'?
I thought chic looked kind of scummy but I remember playing with her before and I don't think what you've seen is really an alignment tell.

She came across kind of self conscious and non-committal and wasn't obnoxious at least in the early game.

I guess what I'm saying is chic's posting style doesn't annoy me and I don't think I'd want to kill anyone I have that meta on early.

it's possible chic played a lot more in between when we both played ages ago tho. and I'm constructing these reads based on like 2-3 posts at most I can remember reading yesterday

The two posts you pulled out of the thread are, in fact, in the center of many people talking about cases and alignment. The fact that you didn't quite them doesn't make them non existent

Current scum picks (of which I only have 3 because calling everyone scum is dumb)

Mornacale - attempted to jump into the content game early by calling out Asiina for making jokes when not 20 minutes earlier he was making jokes himself. When I pressed him to find out why it was okay for him to jok and not Asiina he couldn't answer and stopped respondong.
Kleedrac - after being called out for buddying up in joke phase his response was poor and then his contribution to the game was a lurker call out. His posting is stilted and awkward.
GUISSEPPE - jumps into the game and attempts to shape conversation by posting lovely cases and ignoring the cases made against the above except vaguely saying that no one is doing anything. In fact his first call out is a lurker that has done nothing he himself hasn't done. His responses to me asking him about these things is to attack me rather than make responses.

Personally I wouldn't vote Diqnol over agression + post vomit, that's just Diq bein' Diq. I DO think it's weird that he jumped from me to Rurea so quickly though. Like 10 minutes passed between the votes

Don't think it's enough to call him scum tho

Let's dissect this fantastic vote on me.


I'm looking at this and seeing that there's a vote on me at the end of the post, which immediately strikes me as really odd. If I were town and I didn't know why someone was voting for me, my initial reaction would be "I need to engage this person to see if he's being disingenuous or lazy or if he actually is seeing something and therefore scum hunting." Kleedrac doesn't do this, however, and rather goes on to list reasons why my vote (which he allegedly doesn't understand at all) is a bad vote thanks to ~logic~.


I never said that Kleedrac was buddying up. This is factually inaccurate. I think he saw me mention bowmore and then decided I agreed with bowmore?


Is this even a retort to my point? It's literally a restatement of my original post:


So yes, Kleedrac, I don't think you are trying to generate discussion at all, I think your post which I quoted was faked content. Hence me saying...that I thought you were trying to fake generating discussion. This adds absolutely nothing but looks like "WHAT AN INJUSTICE"


I literally have 8 posts in this thread before this one.

-One is a signup post
-One is a confirmation post
-One is a joke about DBZ
-One is saying I want to watch Voltron
-One is saying I am watching Kai currently
-One is saying hello to TheRam and discussing that Amni ending joke phase is something I've seen him do a lot and isn't necessarily scummy. <------ This is the scummiest thing I have done all thread because it really does very little to generate content, and if I were scum I could easily have dropped something like that as a "read." Notice Kleedrac doesn't even talk about this at all, he instead have focuses entirely on my case against him and makes the above errnoeous statements to prove his point.
-One is voting Kleedrac because I read his poo poo as fake.
-One is restating that I think Kleedrac is suspicious and not liking his followup post.

Please show me where in those posts I have been "acting scummy as poo poo."

Everyone else ask yourself: do my two posts of suspicion on Kleedrac warrant the hard line OMGUS he just dropped on me?

Keeping my vote here, vote Kleedrac and cuddle scum, I'll see everyone D2.

I agree with Quidnose here ##vote Kleedrac

Your "cases" are this is scummy. Vote.

Each of mine explains why I think it was scummy. Bad tone, duplicity, being unable to explain reasoning when pressed and, in your case, using intimodation to force people to follow your lead. You aren't making cases or engaging people. You aren't attempting to convince people that your cases are right. You are making a statements about alignment and attempting to bully people to your way of thinking.

I mean hell, I spelled out my cases and your response was, if you're so awesome why don't you explain your cases then. You aren't reading the thread. You don't care.

Omgsu is a term for someone that votes someone else on the basis that they voted for them. I.e. you voted for me so you must be scum. It's then used incorrectly to mean anyone voting for anyone else for any reason ever.

My first reaction to this post was that Amnistar was trying to jump on me for putting down a lazy vote before a reread because he saw an opportunity, especially since he should know I make a post like that and then launch into a series of posts afterwards on the regular. It read to me like he was trying to look like he was looking for scum rather than looking for scum. His doubling down since and his dismissal of my points without apparently reading them at all say to me he is very probably scum.

Okay dipshit, here's what's happening.

I am insulting you repeatedly. This is because you are not saying things that make sense coming from a rational human mind.

I am asking people questions. That is the definition of engaging people. I am being mean to 1 (one) person. Bullying has nothing to do with it.

As to convincing people that my cases are right, it is page 3 of non jokephase. The important thing here is interactions. Cases like that will come later from everybody.

There's an interesting tidbit here to those following along, though:

omgus means oh my god you suck

the idea behind it being that when A votes B, if B then votes A it's usually dismissed as an emotional vote because "I AM TOWN AND YOU'RE VOTING ME THEREFORE YOU MUST BE SCUM!!!"

at least that's how I've always taken it, an OMGUS vote is usually meant in sincerity however it is a bad vote.

usually calling someone's votes OMGUS is lazy, but it also can summarise quite succintly what you think of someones vote.

it's over used and people use it so varyingly that you're better of just articulating without using an acronym
