OK, time is running out for me to post. Definitely have stuff starting soon, so to wrap up:

Good Sir posted:

The recent few pages have made me soften on my vote for Chili and consider Rarity. Also, I want to read over this case against Ecco but to me, at the moment, it seems like a real stretch. I do agree, I don't see any reason to think there are fakeclaims, rather if anything the OP seems to point in a completely different direction. Ecco - Have you been in a game previously that had fakeclaims? Is this some sort of post-mafia-stress induced anxiety?

In the next couple hours I'm going to go back and re-read the entire thread then present what I think is my "best" argument which, being day one, won't be much more than a guess. Also, I been reading up on my Skyrim lore, and better understand my flavour and some of the other players' as well. I now understand why the first three or four pages of this thread didn't make sense.

This is a bad post. Please remember this post tomorrow if I'm dead because someone needs to tear it apart.

WHY AM I GETTING LYNCHED? Now is a great opportunity to distance yourself from the rabble inclined to let a highly active poster meet his doom with a town flip. Consider the possibilities!

The case on Rarity is so weak that I think between you, Chili, and Ecco there's probably one scum from each team and one town. I really doubt that two scum from the same team would put themselves so far out there together though.

I understand everyone's arguments but I don't necessarily see the scumminess that they are talking about. The only one that kinda makes sense to me is Ecco because of what Byers was saying earlier.

Basically what I'm saying is I have no idea how to tell if anyone is scum that's why I'm mostly lurking. Right now I'm close to basing my vote on who has been really annoying and that's CPig.

It seems like day 1 is just a whole lot of speculation and nothing really to go on. Everyone is attacking each other based on random guessing. Can someone please explain to me how to identify scum so I can be better at this?

I'm not counting CPig because have you been paying attention to him? He's just throwing random votes around, he's not arguing "Rarity claimed flavor so it must be a fakeclaim." I don't like his votes either but he doesn't have anything to say about Rarity in particular.

If you think any of us truly know what we're doing, you're approaching this incorrectly.

Talk loudly, say some poo poo, see what sticks. Like I did with Gabriel. I made up a bunch of poo poo, felt a bit strongly about it, but ultimately was satisfied with his response. Don't get caught up on being right, just get caught up on being.

I was convinced that Chili is town because he was saying that he doesn't care if he gets lynched but now that he's demanding explanations for why people would vote for him it seems like he is backpedaling and doesn't want to get out and that feels scummy to me.

But either you think he's town, or you think that one of the scum teams have had two people vote Rarity today. If your case on these three is that no scum team would vote more than one person per player, there's a disconnect if you ignore players that have voted. Right?

The scenario that you're setting up is "It's so bad that scum have to be making this case, but not all of you can be scum, but since there's 2 scum teams, 2 of you can be scum! Oh and that last guy is just town." And it's beautiful. And I love you.

I seriously don't mind being lynched. I like early day 1 the most, and after that, I start trailing off a bit so it's no biggy. I am assuming I'm getting lynched as of now because of the vote count and the fact that I won't be around to redirect the lynch later. So, if I must go down, the best thing I can do for the town is provide as many connections (like I'm doing with you now, sport) to other players so they have information to go off of once I'm gone.

I don't think we can say anything about CPig right now except for the meta argument that he doesn't normally do this. I doubt a scum team would agree to stick together in pushing a flimsy case on town and committing to it with votes, but a drive-by vote doesn't say anything.

See now that's a problem. You, me and now Rarity are on Cpig.

There is no case on Cpig, people just don't like him. And therein, lies the proverbial "rub".

I submit that we three are part of an Argonian Cabal charged with outing nonsensical posters. Of course, we have sleeper cells in both scum camps, and one of us is secretly Gabe Newell.

Hey Byers forget Pig, let's all vote Asiina.

Benefits of voting for Asiina:
- She already has 1 vote from someone who isn't around much
- Lots of people are feeling like she's scum but aren't putting in much effort towards pursuing it
- It would give us common ground and an avenue for moving forward with our relationship this game

The last thing Fiery Valkyrie did was agree with me, his vote is currently on me.
Meinberg initially jokevoted me and then said he was leaving his vote on me for my "behavior".
Abyssal is the best, everyone leave him/her alone.
Good Sir at least put down something, but has since said he's "softened" on me in favor of Rarity.
Shadow Glass is voting me because I changed my mind.
Epsilon Plus is voting me because "I don't like his responses"

If "I don't care if I live" is scummy then let's all vote Chili. I just don't see it that way. If he was scum, why would he basically vote to sacrifice himself. Doesn't make sense.

I don't think him saying "state your case" is necessarily town or scummy but the fact that he got so angry and was lashing out at everyone after offering to get lynched was strange to me.
