I'm kind of confused here because you said you thought I made a persuasive case but then you didn't back it up with a vote because I am bullying Foolster?

Hey Foolster if I have made you uncomfortable at any point during this game then I am actually very sorry. New players are great and you seem nice even if you rolled scum, I hope you stick around.

Okay, Rurea, will you vote Foolster now?

Because I presented one argument for someone being scummy, and in the same post played the devil's advocate and said "Although I could be incorrect for these reasons...", you think that is scummy of me.

So then you realise that your case against hiip is a "dumb, hasty conclusion that probably isn't correct" which makes you change your vote from hiip to me because I contradict my self?

You initially voted me for saying last night was terrible. Then you explained that your own case against hiip was a "dumb, hasty conclusion that probably isn't correct" and thus change your vote from hiip to me because you "found my post contradictory."

My supposedly 'scummy' post was: explaining why I was getting scummy vibes from Tastee and then going on to consider the ways in which I could potentially be incorrect, so as to not make any hasty decisions. You called this "hedging" (idk) and that I was "contradicting" my self and thus am scummy.

Meanwhile you seem to be the one making hasty decisions then suddenly changing votes.

Somberbrero posted:

awkward! forced content, like commenting on the noid. "no lynch sure sounds bad unless it isn't haha let me never talk about why."

Like I said I was catching up to a bunch of posts. I said it sounds bad bit I'm willing to hear counter-arguments since I hadn't played in years. I didn't say it isn't in any way. Big difference! You're misrepresenting what I said!

Somberbrero posted:

'who knows what powers besides the scum have' is an incredibly weird thing to mention and it's not motivated by town perspective

Huh? Yeah, cautioning the town that the scum might have extra powers in a power-heavy game sure sounds scummy! (Yes, that's sarcasm). Also, notice the context of this is arguing against a no-lynch. Something a majority have said is a bad idea, and which you yourself said is a bad idea.

Somberbrero posted:

forced content! Foolster has nothing important to say here. in fact he actively reduces the amount of useful content by bringing up the no-lunch discussion again.

Huh? People were Still talking about it Literally the last non-mod post before mine mentioned it. Honestly, there wasn't a lot to talk about anyway (I have a feeling if I hadn't posted you'd accuse me of lurking!), most of the conversion up to that point had been about no-lynch and joke stuff (ignoring people). This was page 4.

Somberbrero posted:

huge overreaction to a single vote that is probably the worst OMGUS I've ever seen. Foolster doesn't even vote me here, he uses a finger of shame.

Do I have to keep going?

Maybe I over-reacted, but I guess I was getting annoyed. I saw your joke "vote until dead" (that again, was repeated, so I didn't see it as a joke) and then jumping onto me with a vague vote and quote with no commentary. Yes, I didn't even vote you because honestly, you seemed too erratic to be scum, thus why I didn't vote. IDK, I keep going back and forth in my mind about you.

Also you accuse me of over-reacting, but I think over-reacting would have been to vote you and insist you die. I didn't do that, because despite your pushing for my lynching, I'm still willing to consider you might be a confused town. I'm interested in finding scum, and hearing clear explanations of reasons for accusations, not back-biting against people who accuse me.

The point you seem to be missing, Good Sir, is that you hedged your read on someone because you thought they could be VT in a role madness game. That is the part that seems made up, as if you were trying very hard to come up with a reason to hedge your bet and forgot the game was role madness. That's the scummy part. Analyzing what happened and coming to the conclusion that "eh, maybe this doesn't make sense" is actively engaging with the content of the thread; seemingly pretending to play Devil's advocate with a reason that doesn't make sense from the get go a different beast altogether.

The statement in question:

Good Sir posted:

Also unrelated to quotes above I would like to note:
Mr. Tastee came into this thread, explained that he was terrible at mafia and was going to "whitenose it." He then voted me and has not posted since. Rurea and Poison Mushroom voted for him. One thought I have is, why would we want someone like Tastee on our team? He admits to being bad at mafia and is lurking. He isn't contributing. Then again I sometimes wonder if lurkers are more likely to be vanilla town as they just lost interest in the game after receiving a powerless and bland role.
I guess I was "hedging," which I'm only now reading what it is after being accused and googling. I saw it as considering both sides of a situation; considering two possible realities/outcomes. I guess it could also look like I was trying to remain super neutral and not go all-in and thus scummy. I see... I guess. In addition the me thinking he could be VT in a role madness game is very obviously a newbie mistake - I've played mafia once or twice before, years ago, and am currently playing this and Skyrim mafia which has lots of VT. I just didn't realise that this mafia has 0 possibility of there being any VT. Lastly, you're taking a segment of a very long post in which I shared opinions about several players out of context and blowing it out of proportion.

I was simply used to analyzing with the assumption that there is always vanilla town. You are voting me for absurd reasons and Tastee jumped on the bandwagon offly quick while explaining that he has too much of a real life to spend as much time on mafia as the rest of us .

I have a scum read on you and Hal, so I'm not inclined to trust when you two are voting for the same person with only three votes on that target. I'd be happy to change my opinion if it seems reasonable but I'm not sure you will accomplish that by constantly insulting my decisions.

I hope people are at least considering my post above. Somber pretty clearly misrepresented what I said ("no lynch sure sounds bad unless it isn't haha let me never talk about why."), is blowing some things out of proportion (brining up no-lynch which was discussed literally in the previous post, and complaining I'm not talking about much on page 4, when there hasn't been much discussion).

They aren't great. Need to find posts to back up things, but I agree and disagree with notes more as I reread things. Will be reworking them. As a preliminary, I agree my opinion of Somber was snowballed from "This guy feels like scum" and I never really got out of that mindset for some reason until it turned into an assumption. We'll see though, attempting to look at the game with fresh eyes.

Let's look back.

What I said:

"No lynch on day one? That sounds like a terrible idea, but I'm willing to hear why you think this is a good idea. I admit, I'm pretty rusty at Mafia."

You represented as:

"no lynch sure sounds bad unless it isn't haha let me never talk about why."

Yeah, there's no way that could be construed as misrepresentation! (sarc)

I didn't say I had a reason why I thought no-lynch might not be bad, and then hold back a reason. I said I was willing to listen to people who tell me I'm wrong. I don't even understand how this is hard to understand.

Doubling down on misrepresentation is suspicious.
