Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
Hello, I have spent a day without internet.

My last game I was scum I got outed for posting to much and literally quoting the OP but having to much information, why would I post a lot of trash the next game? I'm just lovely at posting I guess. :shrug:

I still have a gut on EXACT, but I'll vote for a lynch tomorrow. Which looks like it'll be me or Krell right now, so that'll be fun. I am leaning more towards Krell actually being scum, tho, suddenly not posting and waiting for another lynch to ride after you've been fingered instead of defending yourself strikes me as scum 101.

Nobody has done what you did. I posted a "list" but it was all solid statements of my opinions. You felt pressured by the attention on you to post reads, and made up a bunch of wishy washy poo poo. That is something scum do.

This is why he is scum.

Meta can be used to defend a person based on how it applies to ~gut feelings.~

I agree that my using it to defend myself is pretty weak.

I also think that voting me for saying "100% serious vote" when I was joking is incredibly weak.

You ignore my valid questions:


...which I understand aren't directed at you, but you don't admit that that's a good point at all, just call me out for being scummy thanks to my "defensiveness." That's weird.

So, Amnistar, YOU answer me this, instead of the question I posed above (which I don't want an answer from you on): Do you think I make a good point in my questions above? Why or why not?

I don't think you're scum because of the 100% legitimate vote. I read that as a joke as well and overlooked it. I think the fact that you posted a shitstorm in response to someone questioning you on that was way over the top and dramatic and overly defensive, which I find scummy.

Your posting escalated suddenly and became frantic about being called scum and how could anyone mistake that joke for scum ever!!! it just felt ridiculously hostile for what happened.

If I missed your question in my response I'm sorry for that and not understanding what questions you're referring to.

You are calling me out with a meta gameplay argument rather than a meta player argument, i.e. "scum, when called out, will react overly defensive because they are concerned about being lynched due to their small numbers." I could very well have other reasons for not wanting to be the lynch candidate for the day, like wanting to play mafia, or being annoyed I am being voted for lovely reasons.

I don't see how you can sit there saying "meta defenses are useless" purely based around a player's meta, when you are using a basic meta gameplay argument as the crux of finding me scummy. Everything in mafia is about reads, and reading the way a player behaves is just as valid as "well scum tend to do this so you are scummy."

To me I would add an e.g. of "not very valid at all," I would rather ignore people doing TYPICALLY SCUMMY THINGS and find where people are lying, posting zero opinions, playing safe, etc. Those are actual quantifiable things. "He got defensive" happens as both town and scum, for a variety of reasons, ESPECIALLY in a role madness game.

The question was what I quoted, do you think it's valid for me to say "hey fuckers, you called me out for this when there were 5 other people who posted joke opinions without the '100% serious' thing, and they weren't voted for it." Do you think that is a valid point, or not?

As for your response, it was too much, too fast and it makes me doubt your alignment. I'm not saying because you defended yourself you're scum, please don't put words in my mouth. Your point about being singled out is valid, but the manner in which you made it is suspect.

:shrug: I didn't want to move my vote, but Krell posted a thing that was actually playing the game.

It is a little weird that Quid overreacted that much when someone didn't see through the majesty of his "100% serious" joke. I really don't see how it's so out of the ordinary that it means he's scum- or at least more likely to be scum than Gamer. Gamer is much more likely to be scum because of his wishy-washy textbook scumposts. ##vote Gamer

Not feeling it. I'm not saying that we should give Gamer a pass just because he is new, but I am saying that I think that we're getting a false positive because he's new.

Quidnose has over a hundred games and flipped out after a modicum of pressure was applied. I don't really care about his meta because arguments based on posting styles are generally bad. He's currently dogging the vote leader hard so I'm not particularly inspired to give him a pass on effort.

I think Amni sees how Gamer talks about how he got caught last time as scum and why he wouldn't do that behavior this game, the implication being that he is scum this game as well. It's clever but I doubt it's actually a scum slip.

Sure, I'll softclaim.

I am a mason, Gemini Man. My role gives powers to my fellow if I die and vice versa. I do not know if they are scum, though they're probably town. If they are town, my lynch is pretty much a neutral outcome, so whatever. If they are scum, that's a pretty hefty hit.

In a role madness game my role is pretty basic, huh.

Yeah, five hours where I'll be away from the computer and not shitposting every three minutes. Five hours is close enough for me. I'm just swapping my vote since we're apparently letting Krell live (for no clear reason.)

I hadn't figured in the softclaim when I wrote that---or, more accurately thought it was someone else's claim---and had just based the "gamer really should be better coached than this" on his general posting previously.

Of course it's a weak excuse. Nobody's got anything but weak excuses or lovely reads.
