I'm looking at Asiina's post history and I see a good amount of game chat mixed in with some nongame chat and I think people harping on her specifically for "not participating" when there are both players that have only talked about non-game poo poo and players that haven't said anything whatsoever is a bit odd

I had no reason to jump on the Lumpen bandwagon, but it was a bandwagon.

So? Why would you bother getting on a bandwagon as town? Just for the fun of voting? I don't see it being a move you'd make as town, even in this crazy game.

Guys, I think we should lynch yuming and Asii today.

This is true, especially now. A bit earlier in the game her signal to noise ratio was pretty bad and she was actively discouraging discussion. It's gotten better though.

I'm not on her back because she hasn't talked game, I'm on her back cause when she does she doesn't seem connected to what's going on. Remember how I said Asii's my best friend, I've played tons of games with her, I've modded her when she's town, I've modded her when she's scum, I've caught her as scum when I'm town and I've fake cased her as scum when I'm scum. I know better than anyone in this thread how she plays and how to read her. Asiina is a good lynch today.

This is such a complete misrepresentation of my ~meta~ to the point that I think it's a fabricated case. It also doesn't even make sense in its own context. Someone who doesn't know what to say so they don't say anything at all is not going to be the person who has talked "so much".

Someone who doesn't know what to say about a certain topic wouldn't talk about that topic, but could conceivably comfortably discuss other topics.

Ask me about being a SJW in EE and working to make anyone who disagrees with me a villain and gets no opportunity to defend themselves at all because my army or sycophants I buy off with pixels follows me blindly.

I'm pretty sure lynching a claimed day 1 cop to get information about his scum result is worse than actually lynching the scum result.

I have to look at my spreadsheets, but off the top of my head I'm confident in making this assessment

Nah, I mean if you're going to use my own self-assessment against me then let me clarify it for you. When I'm scum I don't even make jokes because I get all nervous about how the jokes are perceived and oh god what if they say "that's a scummy joke!" etc etc. Any sort of freeness of talking means I don't feel that pressure. I mean feel free to not believe my self-meta argument, but don't try to use it against me if you're using it wrong.

Let's assume yuming flips scum. Yay, we hit scum! Is Lid a cop, or was it a bus? (It wasn't a bus unless he has no soul, and as his mother I know my boy has a soul, but rationally you have to consider it).

Let's assume yuming flips town. Boo, we mislynched! Is Lid a paranoid/insane cop, or is he scum making a gambit?

There's no way to know that solely from yuming's flip. What's more, "lynching for information" is a scum's delight. It allows you to make a case without talking about alignment, which you just did. You're not even attempting to find scum in this case, you're just playing along with idea of testing a claim. It's a lazy, scummy argument. It's a lazy, scummy vote. You are lazy scum.

Byers all ready made a reason why lynching for information is scummy as gently caress

People can only make associations with so many other people, and with 70 people I think it's likely that scum will actively stick together and try to hide in plain sight.

I can see how applying that can be a scummy move but I think town players often have that logic.

On some level, most of the dunks are for information. In a lot of games people don't expect to hit scum D1, but it's well known that no lynches should be avoided.

I was a SK that game, I didn't actually care if you were scum or not. Especially when I voted for you at LYLO in the hopes the scum would jump on my vote! So far in this game your vote history is jumping on three bandwagons (Krell, Lumpen and winvirus) that were already in progress and then managing to combine a 'me too' with an OMGUS on Carpet Shark.

yuming, if you want to convince me you're not just playing to survive then you should have a read of Asiina.

Chain lynches that are "if this person is scum, this other person is probably scum" are fine.

Chain lynches that are "if this person is town, this other person is probably scum" are terrible and scummy.

It's basically setting up "wrong = scum" in advance.
