Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

I'd still ##vote Uradd, letting 3 votes on scum slow roll to being the only viable option when Ixt/Asiina/I were around and preferred his lynch makes me think the scumteam either didn't want that to happen either or was being lazy as poo poo, and him as scum fits both criteria + I still think his question yesterday about the Foo vote seemed tacked on. I'm offput by yuming missing the deadline with the blah 50 vote down, and kinda weirded out by how long it took Asiina to switch to Uradd when it was clear she liked it better than a Foo vote, although I wouldn't want to vote behind that.

Taking a look at Pecota..

Foo can you give one (1) reason why derp's claim would be harmful to the town/beneficial for scum to make?

Power of Pecota posted:

Think long-term though - would sticking with the claim be a kamikaze mission where at the end scum derp's like "Haha you chain lynched two town off my dumb claim, laters"? I don't buy him going for that out of the gate D1. Would he give an actual town + scum pair and try to ride the claim out, which would put a 50/50 target on the back of a scum in a 12-person game? I don't see a viable long-term scum strategy off of faking that. Do you?

Knowing now that Foo was scum, I look back at this discussion between Pecota and Foo and it looks to me like Pecota, realizing that people think Foo is scum based on what he said about Derp, is trying to help his scumbuddy justify it in-thread to move suspicion elsewhere.

Power of Pecota posted:

##vote Uradd on reread, this post bugs me, it looks like asking a question for the sake of asking a question. Even if they don't agree with it, did anyone besides Uradd not infer what the logic behind the Poque/50 votes on Foo was?

This feels like a made-up reason to vote for someone other than Foo.

Power of Pecota posted:

Ixt/Asiina, we've got 23 minutes until deadline and you can put Uradd into a tie for the vote lead with Foo if you switch. Why not do it?

Going on what I see above, this feels more like it's about saving Foo than thinking Uradd is scum.

For now I'm good with ##vote Power of Pecota.

I was trying to figure out Foo's rationale behind the vote, and he literally never responded to my follow-up. You're framing me trying to get him to justify his vote as me pulling pressure off of him, which is complete horseshit.

Did it feel made up yesterday? You didn't say anything about it then beyond agreeing with my premise that the logic behind the votes he was asking about was clearly visible. The case on Foo was pretty tepid, 50 was upfront about that himself.

You could Lumpen list if you feel like, but this way is better. You see, least likely scum team doesn't even necessarily mean you think they're the two towniest players, just that their play together doesn't make sense as a scum team, same with most likely scum team. It is a more sophisticated Lumpen List.

All of this is really reverse-engineered. At least, in terms of the fact that yesterday I thought Foo was town and so I agreed with what you were saying. Today, I know he wasn't, so I'm specifically trying to re-examine how people were acting towards him and basing what I think on what I've seen. It's not like I'm 100% sure you're scum or anything, but for me right now that's what I see as the strongest case. If we don't hear from yuming or Uradd (or get thought processes behind who 50/Kaschei/Asiina/uranus think is scum) we're still really early on in D2.

And yes, I know that sounds hypocritical given that I was vocal about thinking Foo was town. If people want to push back on my logic so be it.

I'm on your side for all of this but this is the second time that you've talked about the Foo case as though it didn't have any merit or as though the Uradd piece was better.

first time (it's two posts but they were right at the end of the day):

Things are looking like a pretty clear apathy/process of elimination vote on Foo right now, is anyone else besides Ixt/Asiina here?

I disagree entirely that it was a case built out of apathy, not only was it a good case (not just from the perspective of being correct) but it was the best case we had, and it's just standing out to me that you have kinda snuck that in a couple times now.

I mean, your points seem like you're trying to fit me into a narrative that's not there, specifically me getting Foo to explain his vote. I don't see how that looks like me giving him an out, a ton of people hold to "lynch all liars" stuff as town and can back it up. I wanted to see if he could and never got a response.

That's fair, it was fine for a D1 case (and realizing that he never came back to explain his logic for like over a day makes him look worse now that I notice it). I will say the last quote there was more general boredom with how the deadline went, I felt like it was just me and Ixt and Asiina dinking around and waiting for people to check in to get enough votes to lynch anyone.

I'm fitting you into a narrative that is possibly there, because I don't know if you're telling me the truth or lying to me. To me it looks like you were subtly nudging people away from Foo - I fully admit I might be wrong, it's kind of up to everyone else to decide.

Which just read lazy to me, that's why I wanted to hear follow-up. Clinging onto a vote like that when someone can't adequately explain it would have made me suspicious, all I got was a really shortsighted thought.

I was unhappy because nobody was talking about anything (plus Ixt and Asiina were being really slow to vote my top scumpick Uradd when they clearly preferred lynching him to Foo) and usually when someone with three votes at the end of D1 becomes the only viable lynch because of inactivity (Poque, this isn't about the merit of the case. Literally only enough people were around to lynch Foo and even that was down to the wire) they aren't scum. I stand by the Uradd vote, his entire day was sidling around the derp thing and asking a facetious question.

For what it's worth, I'm more inclined to believe you from your conviction when replying to me. However, Uradd's lack of posting seems pretty explainable by real-life stuff (his needing to sub out), which puts me back at square one since the only real case I have against people is "who is lurking?" (which is a lot of people).

The most epic adventure ever undertaken


Hello, hello, hello~~

CONDRAGULATIONS!! You've survived the first elimination and night on All Stars 2. Gotta say though- some of you girls seem to be skating by in this competition. There's a hundred thousand dollars and your mafia repuation at stake here.

Hopefully, this week's mini challenge will help separate the WERQers from the lurkers. It's a favorite here on Drag Race- the Makeover Challenge!


I'd like to introduce you ladies to Odorous Tabacco.



He's one of my very best squirrel friends from Jersey. God, OT and I had some great times back in college! We'd take the train into the city and work parties for a buffalo nickle. We were on uppers, downers and candy corn. Ahahahaha. That's all behind us now, of course, and if I'm honest (which I always am), OT has lost a little sparkle since then. Luckily, we can help OT reclaim his inner glamazon through the miracle of drag!



Using paint, photoshop, blingies and whatever else you can conceive of, give Odorous Tabacco a fabulous virtual drag makeover. Perhaps he needs to dress to impress for a night out in AC? Or, you could have him serve some Real Housewives of New Jersey realness? Make him a drag daughter of your character! Anything goes in drag.



So ladies- summon your Creativity, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent and take this neckbeard from goon to swoon!

Participation is optional. PM your submissions to ~me~ by 9pm EST TOMORROW. I'll forward them to Odorous Tobacco and she will decide who deserves to receive a boon for the main challenge.

Oh hey I found something yay I was all sad at myself for being terrible~

I think Poque reads scummy D1 because his case sounds like it comes from an informed pov.

Theory: as scum Poque believed derps claim and decided to bus Foo.

Poque posted:

I don't believe that he actually thinks derp's fakeclaim was harmful to town or that lying (as the game starts) is specifically not town-friendly. basically Uradd has it right:

This is the proper reaction to have, not trying to push it into scummy territory.

basically the second chunk of stuff Ixt posted above

Poque posted:

You asked and answered your own question... "generating discussion good for town". The more reactions to things we have to go off of, whether real or made up, the better. You can judge how people would act in a situation if they think the situation is actually happening.

I don't read Foo as questioning derp's intent at all, actually. I voted him specifically for trying to pin derp's lie as not town friendly.



He doesn't try to put it against derp's intent whatsoever - he tries to blindly paint all lies as non-town, which is untrue. And quite possibly a lie.

Poque posted:

50 pretty unambiguously hashed out what was suspicious about Foo and why he considered it a good case, I don't know how you could call it "fluffy" if you read it
