that post is full serious not half serious. i legitimately believe scum would choose a team to help them win than lose, capnandy and i have notoriously bad reads so its better to leave us in the game where they dont have to worry about us loving up or getting lunched, taste is incredibly divisive and at high risk of getting lunched pretty much any time, humalong not quite as divisive but i think he's prolly a high risk of luncheon.


meanwhile lots of bad players tend to lean towards vocal leaders like pop and yuming, i myself have admitted to being lazy in games and just coasting off of merk and or yumings reads because they're usually on the money as town. ggn i think would also be someone picked because they're at low risk of lunch early on due to a more laid back observant play style, hal for the same reason, he isnt gonna be someone who typically is collecting votes. if i was drafting a team as scum those four are absolutely in my mix

sandnavyguy posted:

Ok I’ll play ball.

30% self preservation because no one was discussing anything else for hours, and my flip would help no one, and 70% I straight up thought they were scummy.Originally my concern was that I needed to shoot someone who was more likely to be scum than random chance, and that wouldn’t kneecap the flow of conversation.

The gemming and hawing was because I wanted people to feel like they could post their reads without fear of me randomly shooting.

Bif was on my radar since early D1 because they jumped back and forth fairly quickly on the cases of steak and Sci. I originally chalked it up to being jokephase but they explicitly stated that was going to be their posting style this game.

At this point it’s still just conjecture from basically nothing so I put my suspicions aside and try focusing on any other cases because they were posting a bunch and I don’t want to harm town momentum if they were indeed town.

I don’t post anything overnight, and when I wake up I immediately get bombarded with posts telling me how I’m a coward, on the fence, and my reticence to shoot is classically indicative of scum.

I try, multiple times, to brush it off, even state that I won’t shoot anyone until the thread decides it at the end of day, the most town centric decision i can think of so that people just post freely, and suddenly I get three people voting me in rapid succession for the same inane reason:





So at this point, what else am I supposed to do? Shoot someone, now.

So then I look at the fact that Bif is being so performative at attacking the guy with a gun, AFTER I tell everyone I won’t shoot, and tries to lead an insurrection lunch. I found that performative. And usually performative=scummy. So I shot them. They’ve been a scum read for me since the beginning, they were the vote leader at the time, and i was upset that they were drilling into me more than just “mild” pressure.

And now everyone’s mad I hit town, and a high level poster at that. I’M mad I shot town, I really thought they were scum. But if people had just WAITED like I asked before forcing my hand I could have seen a better argument and voted someone else instead.

Imo I don’t like that ratio you posted. You cite pressure in the form of 3 actual votes against you when it takes 11 to lunch AND a rapid lunch a day and a half before deadline would be way too suspicious to sell after the fact by any one. I think the better option would have been to just walk away from the thread and come back later, then genuinely post any reads you get from the continued dogging. The idea that you had no other options when you had the most power in the situation is foolish.

I’m leaning more and more towards scum who may have been feeling other pressures, namely the rest of their scum team. Especially with the repeated “everyone’s just mad I killed town!!!” When multiple people cited other reasons.

Not super part of the long post, but it should be mentioned:

yuming posted:

DGK said scum would want to draft Hal. While I’m against flat voting someone for why they’d be drafted this is the first related comment I’ve agreed with. Hal would be a great pick that a lot of players might make. I wouldn’t vote Hal today, this is just someone I’m saying is going to affect my default set-point for Hal. I think he’s a bit more likely than most players to be scum. Duck duck, grey duck.

An important caveat here is that if scum teams pick the same "very good scum" then that scum is both very good and able to double cross one of the scum teams late game. So its a double moot point imo.

ok I went to try and build a case on someone and i keep coming back around to "is this worse the SNG?". At this point l don't understand why they keep misconstruing my posts, and when I repeatedly try to get them to zoom in on what I actually said vs what they think I would say because I "didn't like that they shot who they shot" it takes ages to get them back on track. So my best case here is that theyre doing it on purpose. for example!

I'm going to be honest, I feel like the whole lurker thing is dumb because the OP says "Lurker rules apply - if you don't make ten posts a day after D1, you're on notice. gently caress it up again and you're a free lunch for the rest of the game."

This game's got a built-in mechanic to get free lurker kills, so who gives a poo poo? I think you guys have been picking at each other about a theoretical thing that wouldn't even happen and it reads more like a slapfight because you both rub each other the wrong way than anything based on alignment to me

Fair enough take. I just think in a game w/ 2 night kills possible every night & a vig every day that the issue of "do we let a lurker ride it out for two days or not" is a valid conversation that usually would have been had D1 but somehow got turned into "if you want to discuss it then youre mad about how I will/did use the gun ;___;!!!!!!"

Mr. Humalong posted:

GGN do you have a read on anyone besides SNG? I reread you earlier and all you seem to talk about is the person that’s been vote leader for most of the day.

Honestly I’m having a rough time with trying to parse out obviously “performative” scum hunting in this game because all scum want to scum hunt and want scum to die. So all I can go off of is that I know I’m town, but scum dont even know that. It makes every argument look like a slap fight. All players who want scum dead post the same when they have no information. At worst(best?) D1 will be a good way to see much later in the game if any scum were on both teams I guess, and then maybe scum will hunt scum harder even?

What I’m saying is I’m finding it easy to make null reads of every slapfight/observation that isn’t centered around me, because I know my alignment. But as a result it’s impossible to know if a town just finds me scummy (happens all the time!) or if a scum thinks I’m an easy lunch target (also not surprising). So now all I can go on is “is the person interacting with me behaving like they think I’m a threat to their wincon? Does their logic follow through?”

I don’t feel like SNG has determined me scum based on my posts. I think they saw an easy opening to complain about me without voting me and are doubling down on it casually everytime they’re asked to elaborate because it’s an easy way to on D2 or D3 go “haha actually I’ve been building this case all along!!!!”

Power of Pecota posted:

Absolutely slammed today but I'll be around tomorrow, especially in the afternoon. Currently feeling ##vote GGN > tpink > SNG but not sure where DGK falls on the spectrum. I started looking because the Cena mentions seemed weird, but what's convincing me more is GGN only being able to really go in on a policy/semantics argument about lurkers so far this game - it gives me the sense of scum not wanting to have to sell faking what they believe for a vote or case.

I realize that's not as big of an impact in this game because scum can still legitimately scumhunt for the other scumteam, but you have to filter out what you're thinking in terms of knowing the alignments of your scumbuddies, who you actually want to vote out vs. who you think is on the other scumteam, and other stuff like that. I know that used to trip me up as scum a lot, and I feel like GGN seems to have a similar playstyle in an order vs. chaos way. (I'm not sure how much of that is in mind for me because of Cena's list where he grouped yuming/Hal/myself/GGN together, but it seems like it checks out from what I've seen so far)

DGK - how did the end of D1 and Cena's flip impact how you felt about using the vig D2? Talk me through what your thought process was there

I think the problem with this case is that scum also have to find scum. Scum not being able to sell a case on other scum in this game is just being bad at mafia (which I am, in addition to being bad at :justpost:). Ngl this game is huge and I was hoping for NK information to make it easier to build cases. Instead everyone who’s fired the gun feels townie for doing it as per their own scum reads.

DGK’s posts, especially around the lurker/scum convo feels like frustrated town.

Caveat about frustrated town reads: I could also see an argument for frustrated scum looking very similar to frustrated town. No NKs and town continuing to kill town might be making scum worried about late game with it coming down to scum v scum. On the other hand, if the scum teams are confident maybe that shouldn’t frustrate them at all?

Feels hypocritical to put my vote on someone on the basis of “these low content posts are scummy!” When I’ve probably done worse by just not posting enough.

I should be around on and off, and be 100% present for the hour before deadline
