Have you read anything I've said about CE today?

Yeah and I agreed with most if it! If you had asked me who I was going to vote last night I would have said CE. We still should lynch CE, along with Rarity and Winvirus and Met probably. We just also need to lynch you now because you're acting really loving scummy and you are ten times a better mafia player than CE.

I guess we should just kill everyone to be on the safe side

Holy poo poo I thought you were smart. I didn't get what other information he could have to share that he'd consider worth claiming on D1. He clarified he meant stuff like setup info. Quit being a moron, you're better than this.

Here is the most compelling nugget.

Actually reading this I feel way better about CE being town because I feel like I'm being manipulated by you.

I had this moment a couple years back where Dragnix(as scum) was pushing me on a case and I was like "oh, right, yeah yeah that makes sense." Then I reread everything in context and realized I hadn't come to that conclusion organically. This is exactly that feeling I'm getting now and I can't back down from it.

Just because you're making a good argument doesn't mean you're making the right argument. You're obviously better than CE and now I'm reading your casing like you picked an easy target for day one.

merk posted:

Oh, you're voting me now as a reaction to me not wanting to claim. Do you actually think I'm scum outside of that statement? That's a general mafia position.

To go back, this is also not what I said! Why do I have to consider your posts outside of that statement anyway?

Okay I feel like I explained pretty clearly since then that I was voting you for trying to shift discussion away from actual content onto mafia theory and taking my posts out of context in no way makes me feel any better about this discussion. Doing something actively untown like not claiming before you are lynched because of Mafia culture or whatever is actually an aside to why I think you are scum. The way you are selectively addressing/allowing content is scummy too.

Keane hey I asked you a question and I don't think you answered it.

Somberbrero posted:

Keane, what do you think about winvirus doing the same thing as CE in regards to misreading/lying about a point against another player? I feel like there's very little difference between the two. To be honest I felt good about that CE post so I don't know what to make of it.

The post in question:

winvirus posted:

I'm reading back on my phone and I could've sworn there was a post I didn't like

But apparently I was hallucinating. That, combined with me actually missing your question and you not just flat dropping suspicion on me is enough for me to admit I Was Wrong About 9/11 (Rarity)

in relation to this

there's also a followup by winvirus on that

winvirus posted:

I think, sometimes, people think they read things, in a game of mafia, that they didn't, and it's okay to admit you're wrong. There are lots of words involved in these games, after all, and they are challenging for illiterate people like myself

I realize that is a lot of quotes, but do you see what winvirus did as being materially different from what CE did?

I don't THINK winvirus was called out, which works in his favor. CE was called out twice before recanting, which seems pretty suspicious to me.

Yeah but he replaced QPQ and he had one of the most awkward entrances into the thread IIRC with his read on win. I'll need to double.check when I'm a back at a PC.

"Replace in" When you replace into a game you are obligated to match the effort of the other people in the thread within the hour or so. Tearshed has only two posts, he should have dozens, dozens of posts about things.

This is very serious, Rascyc.

I think that was Draggy and it was because the game got canceled due to rain.

I hope merk does get to go to the Cubs game, watching a Cubs game is a fit punishment for a blackguard such as merk.

Someone go read my first day in X-Men. I literally just caught myself doing it there after I died. That game is ongoing, so I won't comment any further on it

I'd find it myself but am on a phone.

It's the only scum tell that exists: faking content.

Crazyeyes posted:

Town fake content all the time. There just isn't always something to be said.

--------------------

Crazyeyes posted:

I find this lengthy and heated argument between Keane and Merk to be, while enlightening, a bit out of hand.

This is of special importance because he fails to even give an analysis of either Keane or my alignment based in the argument. He just says it's a bad argument.

Rarity:

Crazyeyes posted:

I am now ok with leaving what was, when made, a jokevote on Rarity on Rarity as a serious vote.

I see more apathy than scumminess in Ras right now. I have no idea how CCKeane is "pleaing for his life", though. At most he is being obstinate with his Winvirus vote refusal (which doesn't matter anyway cause he is in no danger of being lynched).

quote:

Still don't like rarity. I am not sure entirely how, but I am leaving my vote for the time being.

Crazyeyes posted:

I didn't see Merk posting a question about my vote on rarity. Calm thyselves. I elaborated a bit in that very post about my vote for rarity. It was still quite early in D1 and I didn't like how rarity jumped on Keane for what I believe to be a very trivial and meaningless statement that I did not see the same way.

Early D1 doesn't exactly make for solid casing 99% of the time. The first day is almost always a gut-check.

Cpig:

Crazyeyes posted:

I would also vote Cpig. Look at his post history. He is either spouting meaningless gibberish or throwing a vote on whoever seems to have impetus building.

##unvote

##vote Cpig

How can he make this vote in one breath but make a meta defense of winvirus in another? This is textbook Cpig regardless of alignment. This looks like a weak attempt to fake scum hunting.

Merk:

quote:

I think Merk is definitely back-pedaling. I would vote him.

Crazyeyes posted:

On phone and don't feel like hunting down quote. You said Keane was faking content and only scum fake content. I said that was wrong and you rejected you ever saying it.

You have gone from an iron-clad certainty of Keane being scum to "that's how content is generated on day 1".

I also distrust people who post literally eight times in a row. Makes me feel like they are trying too hard.

Huh? This is flatly incorrect and looks made up.}}
