Yeah, I feel like we're just arguing past each other at this point and the more we bicker, the less anyone is interested in what we have to say.

I answered her in the post she's quoting. Obviously I think Hiipfire is scum, but if he's town I'd understand why she spent so much time defending Hiipfire while simultaneously voting him. That behavior doesn't make sense to me otherwise. Almost everyone has commented on Hiipfire at this point too and I feel like I'd have a lot to work with in the event that we were wrong.

I don't know what this means. That if he is town, I must be scum because you think I was defending him? But if he turns up scum are you going to think that I'm town?

Also I wasn't defending him, I was arguing with your case. Two people can say someone is scummy and have different cases on them.

Reading over it again, I don't like Allen and Somber's interactions.

Allen drops a really flimsy case on someone.

Allen Wren posted:

gently caress, we're all nearly evenly split on what to do. I'm hesitant to lean on somebody because coming in late makes it look like I've got information or something, but it's a day until deadline, let me just drop something so we can start working on it.

##vote Epsilon Plus

Unless I scrollwheeled past them laying out some logic, the last few posts I saw from them were all questioning other people's motives, though they do have a vote on MMM. What's the deal there?

Somber questions him about the bad case and the tone of his posts

Somberbrero posted:

Epsilon is super obvious at scum and I'm not feeling it yet, so hard pass. I understand you got poo poo to do but this looks shady. You're super worried about how your content might appear rather than the quality of the content.

I don't think votes are really indicative of where we're at the time, there's hardly a gridlock.

Allen gets mad about it and then makes a comment about terminology he doesn't know

Allen Wren posted:

also what the gently caress does this mean it's the same drat thing

Allen Wren posted:

Why wouldn't I be worried about how my content appears?

That's what gets people killed.

Allen Wren posted:

But for real what's a hard pass, I don't know the cool kid lingo, I come from GBS where they banned the cool kid lingo. :goku:

Somber explains the term, but then declares him town for reasons I don't understand.

Somberbrero posted:

It's not mafia lingo, it's just a thing people say. Like, a pass as in 'no thanks,' but more firmly.

Your reaction is giving me newbie vibes so we're cool.

1) He still made a very flimsy case with absolutely no reasoning to it and never expanded on it.

2) Somber was right in that Allen definitely looks like he wants to appear to make content without actually getting into it and making content.

The fact that he didn't know a term doesn't change either of these facts and Somber abandoning his questioning so easily makes no sense. This looks like distancing to me.

I didn't actually have a case, I just picked a name, looked at their recent posts, looked at their vote, asked what was up with that, and never actually got an explanation.

Allen seems generally confused and he's new enough I don't want to lynch him day one. It's easy enough to confuse new and scummy behavior so I think it makes more sense to give him some lead time while also just being the nicer option.

Here are the KingB posts that pinged me

King Burgundy posted:

MMM(you) - I know asiina did it as a joke, but I really can't see JakeP as town. Also, your reaction to the rest of us on the whole mass claiming thing seemed really really off tonally to me and I know you are smarter than to not understand our reasoning so it felt manufactured.

Here's a bit of mafia negging, it's not as bad as it could be and there is a very specific reason I have to think it's genuine but it's dumb. I'll post about it in a follow up post because I have to dig some stuff up.

These posts feel weird to me as well. They seem a little awkward and take some steps to establish kingB's lack of info. The first is a quote clarifying that there are 2 scum and included is "it's an f11 or whatever"

The second is like, allen's latest posts weren't scummy so he's moving allen wren to be voted out d2 instead of d1. He's going to give allen time to play (although hiipfire doesn't get the same chance because...?)

King Burgundy posted:

Also this. It's F11 or whatever right? There should only be two. If I'm right about my two picks, that is as far as we need to go.

King Burgundy posted:

Hmmm, Allen is coming off really genuine in his newness. I really don't want to take him out on day 1 now. I'll give him time to get his feet wet and prove himself before spending any more time on him.

##vote Hiipfire


Mostly, KingB has been pretty good but these 3 posts make me reluctant to list him as town just yet.

Ah I dunno, her most recent case on me seemed like genuine scumhunting even if it's wrong.

I'd probably vote Allen tomorrow but not today. Manny, your KB posts mirrors what I've been thinking. I wouldn't want to be in lylo with the guy but I think there are much better candidates ahead of him. Although, I think it's obvious why KB is cutting Allen more slack than Hiipfire. Allen is newer and Hiipfire has pretty much given up.

Exakt is definitely playing up the helpful townie role, coaching Allen in-thread and pointing out helpful neutral points. I'm not really interested in voting him today though, seems like there's no reason not to lynch Hiipfire today and work it out tomorrow with more information.

Why are so at ease with voting town? You keep phrasing your posts in the context of all the information we'll get from hiipfire as if that is a larger benefit than voting a scum.

This is part of what makes me think Somber is scum. He keeps talking about the information we're going to get from Hiipfire's flip and including that he may be town. It feels like a setup.

Also yes - yesterday kinda disintegrated for me and now I have work today. I plan on trying to squeeze in some lunch-posting but my vote stays for the time being.

Oh okay, I see what everyone is saying. I was trying to say that I think it's kind of silly to go chasing after other candidates when Hiipfire is definitely strongest candidate today to my mind. Hiipfire's response to being called scum was to blow up a little and then complete silence, he is definitely scum. I'm not going to worry too much about who the second scum is until day two starts.

Yeah basically. This is the most hand in the air and shrug "guess the dude played poorly" lynch we have right now.

Also we have no reason to punish lurkers with lynches since the mod has promised us that anyway.

In what way? The dude hopped on a bandwagon vote with an awkward comment and then completely vanished once he came under fire. You are definitely overthinking this.

I am so confused by the attempt to paint the Hiipfire votes as "OMGUS." That's not what this is at all.

There's zero indication that Hiipfire is going to get modkilled. Punt's instructions seem to indicate, at best, we can expect Hiipfire will end up Hated. Regardless, that's a goony way to play the game. I want to kill scum, the mod isn't going to do that for us.
