I think Somber's vote on Pinterest makes more sense as a calculated scum play than Pinterest's flipout does. If Pinterest disregards it, Somber can play it off as a joke, and doesn't risk anything. If Pinterest reacts, they're the one that looks suspicious for being touchy, and if they do manage to start turning it around on Somber, it can still be played off as a joke.

Pinterest flipping out has basically no upside and brings a shitload of suspicion.

I am not seeing the case on Somber. Somber flipflopped when Pmom stopped making serious effort. It's a little tunneled but it's not in and of itself scummy.

Yeah, I was initially down on Somber because nth dimensional chess, but Pmom's total collapse has really gotten me switched around on the whole thing, and I'm definitely not seeing anyone else I really have a scum read on.

I was browsing Wikipedia and came across the mathematical concept of 'configurations', which are basically fancy arrangements of lines and points to meet certain criteria but the word choice used to describe them make them sound like some kind of sinister eldritch research and it owns (especially because some of them exist in 4-dimensional space).

"In geometry, the Desargues configuration is a configuration of ten points and ten lines, with three points per line and three lines per point. It is named after Girard Desargues, and closely related to Desargues' theorem, which proves the existence of the configuration."

"The Desargues graph, a 20-vertex bipartite symmetric cubic graph, is so called because it can be interpreted as the Levi graph of the Desargues configuration"

"In geometry, the Klein configuration, studied by Klein (1870), is a geometric configuration related to Kummer surfaces that consists of 60 points and 60 planes, with each point lying on 15 planes and each plane passing through 15 points."

" Resolving the 16 double points of the quotient of a (possibly nonalgebraic) torus by the Kummer involution gives a K3 surface with 16 disjoint rational curves"

This sounds like the kind of stuff that's going to start releasing demons any day now.

This - read my posts about taste.

Your taste posts amount to "Meta votes=bad" and a post in which you mostly quote him making low effort posts on Pinterest (which *is* the case, I won't deny that). Not exactly a strong record to point to there compared to your hedging on Pinterest.

That being said, I'm also not that happy with Taste--even aside from the "Hey guys, check out this chain lynch opportunity--I was being sarcastic (not that sarcastic)" on me, it's content-free anti-Pinterest posts.

babby's third mafia, thank you very much.

And it's not that your assessment is completely off the mark--Taste does look pretty bad! It's that you've spent more time talking about how vote leader Pinterest is suspicious than you have about Taste, and then you turned around and told everyone to look over your case on Taste as explanation for why you aren't voting Pinterest and there's very little there--if your read really was that much stronger on Taste, you sure didn't give that impression previously, and Pinterest has laid out a pretty good scenario for that being scum behavior.

dongsbot 9000 posted:

pmom, tremta, and kordansk are the three frontrunners for lynch imo

This is pretty accurate. To give a really brief summary:

Pinterest: This started with the reaction to Somberbrero, and followed through with a period where Pinterest was just generally kind of dismissive of accusations and didn't come across well. Was the vote leader for quite a while, all the way up to 6/8. Presently voting Kord.

Taste: Voted Pinterest early as a meta call, then made a bunch of content-less posts calling Pinterest scum. Still voting Pinterest.

Kord: Voted Taste in reaction to Taste's meta call on Pinterest, and has kept the vote there. However, despite voting Taste, he's done a lot of posting about Pinterest being suspicious, which Pinterest is saying is scum building the groundwork to be able to switch the vote later.

I think it's that of the triangle of suspicion we've got going right now, he's the only one that hasn't been speaking up. Pinterest got engaged and managed to slough off votes that way, and kord has been similarly active. But because Taste hasn't been around, any votes that wind up on him have stuck on him. He's an easy vote.
