yeah i don't buy that for a moment. it's a tried and true scumtell and again infinite won't explain how he came to that number. if he were town it should be pretty easy to provide his reasoning. pointing out how useless it was in previous games should demonstrate how little value it holds here, and players from previous games should know that.

This is somewhat convincing to me. Does anyone remember back in game 1 when Anomalous Amalgam randomly started speculating about there being 2 scum teams apropos of nothing, and then he turned out to be FBI? Also, in my experience a town infi would never say something like this:

I would put down actual money that you're really desperate to link me to some conspiracy theory you've just come up with.

If I had setup info I'd share it.

That was a logical guess based on player numbers, and past Shine games.

I'm town by the way. Not a 3rd party or scum.
Just town.

Instead, he's just post many, many poop emojis, or something like that. He's being too earnest (or attempting-to-seem-earnest) imo

I can't decide on infi. People seem to be implying there was some drama in the Mafia community recently? Perhaps he's responding to that, like Jimson is claiming to, and that's why he's less dickish.

this is a stickup posted:

I'm not leaning scum on jimson right now, especially because I think he really is correct about dick

Since this is allegedly a meta-read, I'd love to see a relevant quote or two of Dick from other games where he is scum and acts the same as this.

Also someone earlier asked whether Dick doesn't act like this when he's not scum which I believe is just as relevant. If he acts the same all the time - scum or not - then meta-reads aren't much help.

Also all these votes that are "LOL SCUMSLIP" but don't reference any of the follow up discussion.

Personally, I think voting Jimson based on the "scumslip" alone is stupid, voting based on his subsequent defense a little more reasonable, and voting based on the fact that Mayor Glowku literally just bet his own personal life that Jimson is scum the most sensible of all.

Idk why you're taking glowku's bet at face value because betting is strictly against mafia rules and if he was betting for real he would be modkilled

Is it? Anomalous Amalgam bet for real that Deadbeat Dad was scum in Shine I, and he wasn't modkilled.

And taking AA's bet in that game turned out to be a good idea. So.

What the hell is a bread crumb and where can I find it because this is the only thing I havent looked into and could very well get me off your back Jim

Bread crumbs are cryptic hints players put in their posts where if you find them you can figure out what their role is and/or the result of their role's actions (e.g. an alignment cop can breadcrumb their results by saying things like "X is definitely not scum" etc)

It is def against the rules I made infinitum bet he would shave his beard if I flipped town and AR almost killed us both

Oh I see what the issue is. I've heard of this rule too. It's against the rules when you're betting real things, like money. It's not against the rules when you're essentially just saying, "I guarantee X is scum, and if they aren't then feel free to vote me tomorrow."

Taking random bets that don't actually mean anything at face value with no reasoning isn't playing mafia it's letting someone else play and being a pawn so you can excuse yourself for not playing and being wrong.

I am also doing my own critical thinking, to employ later on. It's just that "casing" happens to be irrelevant when it comes to this particular game state (namely one in which another player staked their own life on the alignment of another)

Kashuno, I completely understand your frustration, actually. I was in a very similar situation as you in Shine I, when AA came out and guaranteed Deadbeat Dad was scum, and I was annoyed because it seemed like people where just voting DD without employing critical thinking. But if you go back and read that part of that thread, you'll realize I was wrong then, just like you are now.

This isn't shine 1 and it's also day 1 where no night actions have happened. Following his vote like that is ignorant and lazy

There's (basically) 2 possibilities here: either he's right and Jimson's scum, or he's wrong and a liar and scum, in which case we'll vote him d2. Mayor Glowku's played enough games that I doubt he'd do something so idiotically bold on just a hunch on day 1.
