There are two kinds of Jimson in this world.

A droll, quiet Jimson who doesn't have two fucks to rub together.

And an excited, playful Jimson with 1/3 more posts than the next person in the game.

Scum Max is downright sinister. Clearheaded and logical, he soars above the plains before diving at speeds of over 150mph to snatch innocent little bunny rabbits from the flowered fields. He does not open with "Dunno".

For reals though Jimmers is scum again and he IS probably genuinely super excited about it.

First off, that "scumslip" is bullshit.

Nobody "accidentally" mentions that they're part of an active scumdoc in the game they are currently playing.

If you believe that, and voted Jimson for THAT sole reason, may the bright flaming eye of Justice, Go'Tse, fall upon you.

Secondly, my vote on Jimson was 50% meta and 50% joke. The heightened excitement and activity of the Jimson could be attributed to interest in playing its role, which it claims to have breadcrumbed. As it bounces off the tables (hopefully not breaking them) in its exuberance, it looks suspiciously like a Scumson, because Townson usually quietly wastes away in a dark corner somewhere, pleadingly gazing at other patrons while stretching out its neck for hewing.

##unvote

I was initially concerned that chores might be scum, as he has failed to bountifully provide us with meaningless excrement, and while I share his temerity in aligning myself with Infinitum, the case against zimbomonkey is sound. When I am scum (whoa boy look at that loving scumslip guys) I vote and case people in a manner that lacks depth. In a game of 33 players, scum should be able to get away with such folly. Zimbo's mistake was to do so repeatedly.

It's good play for the scum, you see. Voting gives you a badge of participation, and it keeps the numbers high enough such that when the deadline comes near, momentum will toss one of our compatriots into the abyss. But if you want second place, or first, the vote must come with rationale, a reason, and zimbo has failed us in that regard. He doesn't deserve second place, or 1st.

He deserves 33rd.

I'm not feeling zimbo quite yet iirc he's pretty new? If that's the case and he's in a very large game I can understand his posts. Don't really like infs big post up above there.have been agreeing with Fisk which is very rare. I need to reread BK sometime today because his posting screams scum to me but I can't put a finger on why

I don't know Jimson or glowku's alignment, but izzhov is advocating a scenario that "guarantees" a lynch of glowku if jimson is town.

Unless glowku had a N0 cop (which was not claimed) glowku does not know Jimson's alignment.

IF glowku had a N0 cop, THEN glowku would have claimed it, because he would have no reason not to.

THEREFORE izzhov is advocating a blind lynch of one party based on a blind lynch of another party and saying it is the best case scenario.

If Izzhof CANNOT know that it's the best case scenario for town, Izzhov MUST know that BOTH Jimson and Glowku are not of Izzhov's alignment.

THEREFORE, izzhov is SCUM.

Tobbs, first you get all "may the hammer of justice gently caress you in the arse" over voting Jim for, at the time, a REALLY suss potential scum-slip WHICH YOU ALSO VOTED IN. Now your giving Kash points on something that Kash didn't say which is that the vote for Jim was scummy, when what he clearly was stating was that voting a player based on the chance that the flip could be used to fuel a bandwagon on another player is scummy. I'm pretty sure Kash didn't imply voting someone based on a perceived scumslip was scummy BECAUSE KASH WAS THE FIRST TO VOTE JIM BASED ON THAT SLIP! This just looks like damage control on your part IMO, a bit suss if you ask me.

Fiiiiiirst of all: LIES.

I voted for Jimson many, many hours before he made the "scumslip" and had to read through 7 pages of bullshit before deciding to unvote him.

I'll have to re-read Kashuno to see when Kashuno voted him.

Second of all, good point on Kashuno flip-flopping. Minus points for getting caught up in that bullshit parade, but he still retains points for seeing the votes come flying like so many rotten tomatoes and getting suspicious.

*sidestep into jokephase*

izzhov did ask MMT, she who will never be trusted in Shine games, for backup on her case.

*real talk*

Izzhov is, for no other reason than GLOWKU'S INSISTENCE, saying that we lynch Jimson, only so that we can get a 2-for-1 deal.

There's not really much more discussion on Jimson's scumminess, that's why if Jimson flips town Izzhov says we immediately flip Glowku the next day, because nothing else is relevant.

That...is horrendously scummy. Maybe when you're approaching LYLO a strategy like that could be feasible, but in a 33-man on D1 it's the absolute scummiest perspective a player could have for lynching strategy.

It's true, I've made some pretty terrible arguments as town. At the risk of agreeing with MMT, Quid did probably roll scum this game which should be a lot of fun to see. His opening post is practically identical to the last League game where he was the 3P serial killer.

A looooooot of my reads are meta, and while it gets me strung up like 90% of the time, I'm rarely wrong. This is town Infinitum. If saying that gets me lynched, well, at least I'm vanilla!

Glowku is not a cop. He is a gambler and has some kind of shine power that's related to betting (or at least that's his claim).

Why are you (Izzhov) clinging to the assertion that he soft-claimed cop?

Even if that were true (which sounds extremely unlikely), sharing that conclusion openly and unabashedly with practically zero pressure on yourself is, like, climbing scum mountain and carving your name into it.

On that note, I see that you're right, chores did do the same thing.

Guys, tell me if I'm wrong here.

If you get an N0 or D1 cop, or are a cop, and you have a positive investigation result, is proper play not to IMMEDIATELY HARDCLAIM IT???

What are you going to do, strike gold a second time before you die? No, probably not.

I love you chores :)

But yeah, if you're town and you think someone might be a cop, what is your thought process?

"I think it would be super helpful to share this with town, as it's very important that everyone know who our potential cops are! Yay I am good town!!!"

No.

No no no.

The only players who MIGHT do this are scum, because they forget that if they think someone might be a cop, it is ESSENTIAL to keep those suspicions to their GODDAMN SELVES because scum's job is to find cops and KILL THEM.

This makes sense but it also seems to contradict your statement that if Glowku is cop with positive result, he should hardclaim?

If anyone is ever a cop with a positive result, hardclaim that poo poo IMMEDIATELY. I never have, nor ever will say anything that contradicts that.

If I see a mod doc where a cop had a positive investigation result N1 and he dies N2 I will never, ever let him live it down.

Detective Williams had everything he needed. It was a long, grueling night of work, but it paid off. Everything fit. The blood spatter report, the DNA evidence, everything. He put everything into the file, slipped it into his drawer, and went home for the night, confident that the killer would be brought in.

The next day, he went to work. He drank his coffee and took his morning poo poo. He slept through a meeting, chatted with his coworkers, and the file sat where he put it. He went home that night, tucked himself in, and the very man whose name was written on the file snuck into his home, slit his throat, and murdered his family.

The file was never found.

King Burgundy posted:

No. This is bad play, unless you were only a 1 shot.

You make sure it is obvious you think the person is scum with your first post and you try to case them and get them cuddled without making it obvious you have a cop result. If you can get them cuddled without revealing your role, that is the ultimate cop play. If you can't get them cuddled normally, then you can consider hard claiming near the end of the day, or rolling the dice and trying for another result before you hard claim. If you die and flip it will be obvious who you copped.

True, except for the part where cops have a chance (usually 75%) of copping town instead of scum. Just as it's not obvious after a cop flips whether he found scum, you can't say for certain if he copped town (thus confirming them). The only way for them to provide that info to town (reliably) is by hardclaiming and giving it up.
