Barehanded Brother: Feb 12, 2007; When you have a Hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Hal Incandenza posted:

Hey BHB what's up?

You don't even care if capps is scum (a direct quote) and you haven't even mentioned anyone else in the whole game. What gives? I'm inclined to listen to Asiina on this one.

I didn't care before, but after the deadline turbo I'm way more certain capps is scum with Ardulac. Look at this exchange:

Ardulac posted:

He already explained his case in its entirety:

The case on Capps is poo poo, but I don't understand why he's sticking to this case.

Capps, if lynching me wasn't an option who would your next two lynch choices be?

mr.capps posted:

Well, if I am lynching someone to not die myself I am fine with Opop or BHB because those guys are the other people right now who seem likely to die then not me.

But for people I want to lynch it goes you, then BHB, and then skinty.
The bunny vote is just a joke, I dunno but something about you seems off this game. You feel "slipperly" and I don't really know how to explain that in a way that makes sense.

Ardulac posted:

That's fair. There's no accounting for gut.

We're 2 hours from deadline, so how about you hop on the BHB lynch and you can go back to trying to lynch me tomorrow.

and tell me that doesn't look like awkward distancing to you. Then, Ardulac is nowhere to be found even after he posts:

Ardulac posted:

1.5 hours to deadline. If anyone is around please show up in the thread and post your thoughts on at least 3 players.

his last post of the day, before capps decides "things feel too organized" and starts the turbo on Jam, ostensibly to make the lynch look more organic than whatever he and Ardulac were "organizing".

Also, this post (referring to capps):

Skinty McEdger posted:

I haven't missed anything right, the case on you is still that you made a joke in joke phase?

looks a lot like throwing a lifeline to a scumbuddy - there's a dozen other ways to ask that question without lobbing a softball to capps, but if you're newbie scum, that's exactly how you'd phrase it.

capps, Ardulac, Skinty scumteam. Book it.

as an addendum to my case, this post just screams scum to me:

Ardulac posted:

That's fine. I get suspicious when people defend me too.

I do think it's silly how eager people are to swing to new lynches in this game as soon as someone pushes for them slightly.

Are you suggesting that the lynch you started was orchestrated by Scum?

Buddying to Opop, a condescending dismissal of bandwagon votes, and then the world's most disingenuous question - misreading capps' post so badly it must have been intentional.

Barehanded Brother: Feb 12, 2007; When you have a Hammer, everything looks like a nail.

and before people ask me again why I'm still voting capps instead of Ardulac, I'll gladly vote Ardulac but I've got a better feeling about capps. I'd also vote Skinty but that's a much more conjectural case based off one post and trusting Keane's gut.

Ardulac: May 31, 2005; "There is a difference between fear and caution."

I can appreciate voting the guy you feel more strongly about, but it just feels like distancing from my likely flip when you intentionally avoid getting on the bandwagon on me.

I wasn't buddying to Opop, he's too smart for that :wink:

. Honestly, I just disagreed with the bandwagon on him. Sue me.

I'll be around tomorrow morning, but I am burnt out from a hectic day and running my 13th Age campaign.

Your likely flip? That doesn't make any sense at all. If he's scum he knows how you'll flip and there's nothing likely about it. If he's not scum he wouldn't be distancing.

Ardulac: May 31, 2005; "There is a difference between fear and caution."

After a re-read, I'm not feeling the greatZebu lynch. I'm down with lynching Hal or BHB.

Hal for the most incredibly low effort I think I've ever seen from him. He has posts where he literally says he'll vote to lynch anybody and asks who he should be voting. He was also a big part of the momentum building on the Jam lynch.

BHB for the reasons I mentioned yesterday, for dodging the lynch that was speeding up on him yesterday, and for the distancing I mentioned earlier.

##Vote BHB

He's referring to this post yesterday which absolutely no one bit on

Ardulac posted:

I'm feeling like a greatZebu lynch, but I want to re-read to see if anything jumps out at me. I'd advise that everyone else do the same since we're still at a low number of pages. I have to head out to court soon, but I'll be back in a few hours.

but after throwing out greatZebu's name he didn't make any sort of case on him, seemingly just closing it off before he moved his attention back onto BHB.

fiery_valkyrie: Mar 26, 2003; I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

I still think Opop is scum. This is the only opinion he has given this game. He "thinks" Capps and TT might be scum, but then backs off and says they might be town too. It's basically a non-opinion.

Opopanax posted:

If I were scum I'd have a target in mind, but since I'm not I have to be sure first. At this point I think Capps and TT look the worst, but they're not really doing anything they don't normally do as either alignment so it's hard to say

I agree that Ard looks really bad here. It's like he pulled a name out of thin air and then realised he couldn't back it up. Would definitely vote Ard.

Going out for a couple of hours but will be back before deadline.

Ardulac: May 31, 2005; "There is a difference between fear and caution."

I changed my mind on greatZebu because on a closer re-read I got more of a nervous newbie vibe than a newbie Scum vibe. I wish I had something more interesting to say than "my bad".

I do that in pretty much every game I'm in. It's not a Town tell, but it sure as hell isn't a sign that I'm Scummy.

Whatever, you guys are being idiots and I'm about frustrated enough to not even care if I'm removed from this game. I know it's petulant to say, but holy poo poo has the past day been the opposite of entertainment for me.

I want to vote Capps. It feels like he keeps leading the lynches and I'm not confident I can trust him. This was his case on Jam and it's pretty bad.

mr.capps posted:

jam did just plop on a vote after some serious discussion and the guy is humorless so he wouldn't be going with a joke vote

D1 he voted Ard for not liking bunnies. He tried to push other people to vote Ard with him but the only reason he could come up with was that Ard was "slippery". No one else was interested so he moved the push to Jam.

Today this is his only comment before voting Ard

mr.capps posted:

yeah arc is probably scum but i still feel like day one was orchestrated
i'll vote arc

And this comment comes right after he tries to get people to continue focusing on everyone who voted him. None of his opinions or focus seem sincere to me.

I think he was being honest about the bunny thing being a joke, and his explanation that it was based on gut struck me as sincere during Day 1. He wouldn't be my top pick for a lynch but like I said there's something that seems a bit off about him today.
