YPM made a joke
Thran's vote on YPM = joke
Gulag's vote on Thran = joke
Max's vote on Thran = joke
YPM's vote on Thran = serious

Taking a pile of joke votes and trying to translate it into a serious case after there seems to be some traction is scummy.

As an aside, your vote on me is scummy. If you have a gut read on me, call it that. Filling up a sentence with superfluous nonsense comes across as trying to make extra super sure that everyone knows you have "reasons" to vote me, but if I flip town it doesn't reflect poorly on you due to your vote being a conglomeration of hedgey hand-wringing.

My vote was serious. Will clarify when not on phone

i voted thran for this post because, it is a weird post. it uses a mother loving semicolon. its a joke vote but, uh, the joke seems really forced, which is why i voted for it.

Alright, I re-read (sifting through all the non-mafia game related post is annoying af and possibly scummy) and I think i get where YPM and Max are coming from. But I can't shake the feeling somethig's up with that. Perhaps scums manufactured a fake "trap" to gain credibility?


i thought this DB post seemed bad. like, first of all, does the manufacture fake trap to gain cred plan even make sense, for one second, when you really think about it? "i cant tell whats up wit hthis but i bet it's something. anyone else want to maybe assert that it is bad, more aggressively than me, preferably."

I'm looking at your post where you call him out for...responding to Max

and then go on and on about how "awkward" he is

and that's making me :thunk:

##vote merk

DB's flailing like an idiot moron but "he's awkward and saying he's player-aligned is bad" is a case that feels both easy (well yeah, he's awkward, why is that a scumtell) and fake (because it's not touching any of what DB is actually saying)

this one is untrue in various ways (there is no such thign as a 100 percent scumtell, but people who are trying to 'fit in' are going to be awkward more than those that arent) (DB is not saying words of substance that you can respond to)

Can someone please comment on my Gulag vote?

i hate it

merk posted:

Gulag's only alignment read so far in this game is based on the use of a semicolon.

He comments on other things without providing any indication of how that impacts his alignment reads of any players. These include DB generally, votes on me, and the day vig.

the semi-colon thing was tongue in cheek...it was more just about thran's posting in general feeling awkward, but as he posted more it seemed consistent and I got the feeling that's just how he is so I didn't pursue it.

I asked f about the day vig without commenting on his alignment because, the answer is going to affect how i feel about him. ppl dayvig d1 all the time for some reason. he feels more scum than town just considering the rest of his post history (nothing)
as for the rest if I don't have any kind of significant feeling on someone i usually don't say anything. its probably a weakness in how i play but it's also a blindspot for me...

flerp posted:

a scum dayvig is aggressively powerful but it isnt because its a double kill for scum. its powerful because it can be done in a day where it can be a unblockable, untrackable kill on a confirmed power role if mr. f was outed by them (say a cop claims they copped mr f and he's scum, when mr. f is -2 he can just shoot the cop, and possibly prevent the cop from clearing other players). it also can make a situation like 6 town to 3 scum (where one scum has a dayvig) where if town mislynched they would go down to 4 and then the dayvig would bring them down to 3 and they would lose. and the town would have no way to know this.

there is no point of scum using their dayvig in d1 on some random target. they have no way to know that thranguy was a power role and a lover with another power role. mr f also knows thrangles is going to flip town (or, maybe, 3p) and they still decided to waste their dayvig on thrangles, esp knowing that it will make them terrible? i cant see it, no matter what way you slice it. this is like one of the worst possible ways to play scum dayvigger, if so, and the scenario of "mr f is a loving moron town" makes a lot more sense than "mr f is so horrendously awful at scum that he will waste an extremely powerful dayvig power on a random town, especially given hes prob told his scumbos he has a dayvig."

i agree with this actually...while it's a fair to think that there are 3p in a game this big, i dont think scum would be so fearful of being serial killed/vigged that they would blow the dayvig immediately, instead of keeping it and just using it whenever they wanted. its possible but i doubt it

if we were to lynch someone else I would like xad. if I were to characterize their post history, it could be described as "narrating the events of the game" and "just asking questions."

I don't have the power to vote nine times. with four hours left, inevitably if we do this we are just going to get no one lynched, as we always do, as the xad case is honestly not too hot, though i believe in it.
