For a dude who's currently at 7/11 votes to lynch (after voting yourself), you're being pretty loving melodramatic.

Like, the Chic case is so much better than any other case made so far in this game that I'm bored that people wave over it as "bad" with """bad""" reasons. That single Dugong post I quoted is 10000% a scum post and it got waved over as me not analyzing the guy's body of work.

Offhand, It makes more sense that chic misremembered than that she was fabricating/twisting something maLiciously abs hoping no one would check, especially in light of her acknowledgement thereof and re making the case without the faulty point.

That isn't a terrible reason to dislike your case

Did you ever make any effort explaining what about dugong's post was scummy?

I posted that from my phone not having previewed the last 6 posts so I didn't see merk being a complete tool and self voting. I've since gone back and reread merk and chic more thoroughly and I stand by my earlier statement.

Especially in the context of a follow on to Ernie, I think that it's much more plausible chic half/mis-remembered the exact circumstances and honestly thought Ernie was on to something, than that she took the opportunity to bandwagon without checking it out in more detail, especially since it was her game. I'd give ernie cred as scum for pushing that case disingenuously, but he hasn't stuck with it even as you've picked up steam so... it seems as/more likely an honest thought as anything else from his POV too.

I find it a little odd you never remarked on how this reflects on ernie when you've made it a cornerstone of your chic case, you never responded to somber asking about this, either.

I don't want to vote merk because I don't think he's likely scum, but will vote him to get rid of him being a tool if we can't get someone better rolling, like FV. The chic case is not as good as he thinks it is.

KFC, I'd love to debate the reason the case was effective, but I don't want to distract right now from the reaction it warranted from f_v or the overall scumminess of f_v's play this game. Remind me after the game to come back to this, because while it's interesting to me I'm not sure it's relevant right now.

Seems scummy, but less than you and f_v. Put him and Rarity in the next tier down in my list, with him above Rarity at this point.

This is so intentionally obtuse when asked about dugong that it has to be from a scum perspective. Full context : it's in response to merk right after byers voted him making this post motivated by not giving merk a chance to look better

[quote="Byers2142" post=""440003717"]But if you make a bad case on merk when he's scum, he tends to get aggravated that he was pressured for the wrong reasons. If you look at his post-mortems in games, he will continue to point out flaws in bad cases/guesses made against him even when they inadvertently outed him.
[/quote]

This is not relevant to anything at all. But if you look at the logic it's circular and all wrong. If the case is bad and aggravating merk he'd be angry either way considering if he's town he also knows the case is wrong.......

This post is just motivated by rushing the vote.

Dugong posted:

the other games i have played i have been quite rightly been called just saying "i dont like this" rather than actually voting. I feel more sure about YPM being 3rd non-town than any of the 3 leaders.

fv is uranus and YPM just going ham. Already mentioned but then there is Somber's weird comment on uranus.

Merk hosed up a vig. I wish he had saved it for the end of the day so it be used as a pseudo lynch when risk of no lynch is possible but I don't think that's a mafia tell, it just was less thoughtful than it should have been.

Somber throws me off. I like that they just questioned a lot of people's actions early on but then they say that they would vote for anyone and I interpret it as scrambling.


##vote Somberbrero

I explained this in my original post where I voted Dugong, but please read this quoted post a few times.

His analysis of me is nonsensical.
His analysis of somberbrero is nonsensical.
He is scum analyzing a town/town lynch decision. The content is completely fake feeling, sounding, and there's no logic to it at all.

I feel like Byers spent a lot of posts setting up a vote on me. When he came into the game, there are multiple posts where he gets a weird ping on me and then says he wants to believe I'm town. He put a lot of effort into publicly building up his read. He's probably #4 in my would lynch list.

Thank you -- I did go back e and catch that you covered this briefly against dugong. I wish it wasn't the weekend because I want more contributions from him and like well, a ton of players, so it didn't feel as much like a lurker lynch.

I'm torn about ernie's push on byers.

Ernie. posted:

I gave Byers town cred for the post referenced because it felt intellectually honest and pro town to talk at all about the fact that he disagrees with how I came to my conclusion but not distract the whole game by diving into it.

The rest of it I can only half see. -- Byers reacting to Merk's question about dugong is actually feeling like a reasonable catch. That said.

I feel like I've had this thought process about you in other games,, though. So I'm not at all persuaded that this is a scumtell.

I could get on board with Dugong, though.

No one else thinks the initial fishing thoughts on FV nor the wildly overly defensive reaction thereafter is telling?

I think merk's town and Chic is a good scum pick. I've thought that from Somber's initial read, really, which is one of the reasons I figured he'd (Somber) flip town as well.

To byers: my YPM vote was too late. In other games I've flailed around and not given opinions on players. In other games I've stayed until the later days. probably because I haven't made an impact. then been voted out because I've been seen as a lurker. Im trying to be more aggressive. I don't really see what else there is to this.

I thought YPM was scum by the end of day 1. It annoys me that someone else said YPM wasn't worth looking at. I thought somber was an ok target but I was wrong
