To be clear, you think I'm scum? I don't see an alignment call here, but you say I'm as good a player to vote for as the 3p claim who needs the cop/doctor dead to win?

I think you are acting weird and are now trying to dodge questions by pushing against ernie without, again, committing to him.

It's definitely not pro-town behavior.

By definition, if you are not pro-town, you are either scum or third party. While Ernie at least has the possible defense that he was joking, you're posts embody the type of standard low-content scumminess that should be pursued.

So, I'm going to ask you again what exactly your position on Ernie is. You've said that you believe his claim, but that he shouldn't be lynched, because while he might have related abilities, he cannot be trusted. What is the benefit of keeping around a player that relies on killing town power roles? What are you trying to accomplish?

I haven't said I believe his claim and I haven't said he shouldn't be dunked though?

it would not surprise me if you flipped 3p based on your post calling Ernie (claimed win-condition-requires-dead-town-power-roles 3p) "basically vt" if he has no killing ability

unfortunately i agree with you here

Which is contradicted by your post here:

Pinterest Mom posted:

what part of my post makes you think i don't?

Pinterest Mom posted:

which is contradicted by your lack of a vote (although now that I look again, you qualified that by saying you don't want to turbo in the first few hours of D1).

Your content gives me bad ~~~vibes~~~~ and your differentiation between anti-town and "not necessarily anti-town" seems unproductive.

You asked if I took the claim seriously (i.e. if I thought it was a joke claim). I said I did. That's not the same as believing it. There's no contradiction.

hello turns out my claim was a joke but it got us all talking :D

proof it was a joke: qpq has correctly guessed that i copied my claim from when i was a 3p in an older game, and also why would i believe there is no town if i'm told that i have to get rid of the cop, doctor and scum in my wincon?

on-to bigger and better things:

##vote capitalistpig

players who've played with me fewer times might be tricked by the sincerity that i display when i fake-claim at the beginning of my games, but by now he's seen me do it 30+ times, there's no chance he took it seriously

here's a link to the last time i did this with cpig in the game, less than two weeks ago

he was scum there, but his reaction is consistent throughout our histories of playing together where he simply calls bullshit on my shenanigans (i'm too lazy to find an example when he was town)

you're implying that he always "calls your bullshit" and gave a game where he was scum as an example of that

but in this game he believes you, and that makes him scum, as opposed to all of the times where he was town OR scum and didn't

A Worthy Uh while I''m not 100% willing to believe Ernie was just "trying to get discussion rolling" (mostly because he does it so much eventually it's going to be a scum smokescreen) you're not really coming at this from the right angle. Ernie's logic makes sense from his perspective.

Anyone who didn't realise Ernie was joking is either new to playing with Ernie, or really dense (sorry).
Cpig should know Ernie was lying, so you have one of two choices: CPig is playing along for once or he thought he could get a vote on Ernie easily.

Does CPig play along with stuf ever?

In this one, CPig, as scum, believed you and voted you for your claim

In the other, CPig, as scum, did not believe you and voted you for your claim?

Good morning all. I'm happy to be part of this fine game.

I like the fact that Ernie is generating content today regardless of alignment (although I lean towards town). I like Opop's response. I think some of the quibbling around the edges is likely scum building cases but I'm not sure who yet.

The point is CPig should never believe Ernie's D1 claims from the amount of times they've played.

Would you believe winvirus?

Amoeba gets it! :)

He plays along to generate reactions, some times by asking people what reason they have to not vote me or similar things! Here he just helped momentum build!

In the other game, Ernie claimed a pro-town role and CPig voted on Ernie because he thought it was a fake claim.

In this game, Ernie claimed an anti-town role and CPig voted on Ernie because he thought it was real.

That is a valid argument, but his point seemed to depend on CPig's alignment in other games, which has been scum AND town, and so I was misled

You are thinking about it too hard. Ernie was just pointing out that CPig should never have believed any claim coming from him, especially after doing a similar fake claim less than two weeks ago, That CPig jumped aboard the bandwagon suggests scumminess.
