I didn't get to re-read because CPig hammered and it killed all incentive to force myself to do it then.

I'll read the whole thread over tomorrow.

My will was basically me saying that if I die you need to either lynch or disregard everything Exact says, because his attempts to FOS me are laughable given how I was probably tied for biggest reason Opop died yesterday. I'm not willing to entertain conversation to the contrary because I think it'll make me get mad and not fun.

Hey TheRam I think what we have is just a clash of playstyles. I find your posting difficult to read, and it's really frustrating. which is the biggest reason I was suspicious of you. Also, I would like to add that I didn't say you were scummy, just that something felt weird about your posting, and that it feels like you have an agenda. That doesn't mean it's a scummy agenda, just an agenda. :)

Absolutely. Not everyone on my bad people list could be scum together, of course. But WM and Opop is easy:

Here is his initial post about Opop:

wall monitor posted:

Opop's slip-up seems really suspicious, but gut is telling me to hold off a little bit. I dunno.

Then, once Opop is at five actual votes(and some yet to be placed but announced, I believe), and he is the only other option on the table, he says this:

wall monitor posted:

Is this a slip? I think it's pretty good evidence, but I wouldn't turbo Opop on this alone.

This, however, might be enough... it took him a couple hours before he followed up by claiming it was a joke. I don't like this much. It'd be a lot more believable if he said 'I was confirming that I am still going to play in this game' which is both more believable to me than claiming joke and also what I would do if I was scum caught out in a lie.

That last bit is the, I think one of us is going to go, so I may as well throw him under the bus a bit more.

Then he went back to his Fiery vote.

King Burgundy

I still think Rarity or Vivanova(In honor of Diqnol) are the best choice for today. But I don't want us to forget about WM.

Yeah okay, that's a decent case. Mostly it seems off to me that Viva was casting shade on both Opop and WM when she could have probably gotten away with just casing Opop. That combined with the way Rarity was attacking WM, and Opop's vote on him after Rarity's prompting, are the things that give me pause. I definitely agree that Viva and Rarity are much better targets today.

Yeah. I don't see a way for WM and Rarity or WM and Viva to be scum together, so that makes sense. A Viva/Rarity/Opop scum team seems super possible though. When I tried to get them to talk about each other in terms of the game they both ignored me and moved on to other topics. I can see them being super unwilling to risk talking about each other in light of being about to lose a scum buddy.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.
So based on D1 at the moment I think Hal, DHD and MT are town. I also think WM is very likely town since that's where Opop stuck his vote.

Going to write up a case now.

EXAKT Science posted:

Something about the push on Opop right now feels off to me. I particularly don't like this post from Hal:

It's literally his only post aside from his signup.

Hal has made a single post and Exact is trying to frame it as something it's not. Hal's comment is not even an alignment call, yet Exact is calling it part of a conspiracy against Opop. Compared to every other comment in the game about Opop -- and every vote -- Exact is claiming that this comment from Hal is the worst Opop related post. To me its totally fake to call this part of the "push on Opop" when Hal doesn't vote him or even make an alignment call.

Was it an accident, or is it part of his agenda?

EXAKT Science posted:

The way TheRam was just completely absent doesn't sit right with me.

Also I want to look more closely at DHD and Viva.

The way Exact posts makes me think he is certain about Opop's alignment, especially when he is asking people about who they think is scum with Opop. However, this confidence in what he is writing doesn't match his voting, as he never votes for Opop.

I wasn't voting Opop because I wanted to explore other options with the time that we had, and by the time I was ready to vote him, my vote would have taken him to -1 far earlier than I was comfortable with. I also started a new job this week and haven't been online as much as I'm used to being, and am also just completely scatterbrained in general.

Honestly it isn't much more than just a feeling, based on the tone of your posts. For all I know, it's that you want to be the one who solves the game and wins poo poo for town, be a hero, whatever. Upon rereading, I think that's much more likely than it's being a scummy agenda.

No, I'm talking about you using a really good scum tactic. The reverse-OMGUS (the OMGUR?) goes down really well cause it shows that you aren't put off by pressure, you're being reasonable in your assessment of other players and you make the person casing you feel more inclined to lose their suspicions. I'm always gonna be suspicious when I see people doing it in games.

Nope. I agreed with you on WM, but that doesn't mean you weren't doing it from a scum perspective to try to shift the narrative. The key is your disagreement on Opop and the way you've been acting this game. For example, when you asked me what I thought about Max, I gave you a serious answer. When I asked you about Vivanova(And Vivanova about you) you both reacted jokingly and never actually responded about the game.

But here is a lead in you posted much later to help drive the WM case:

Another interesting thing is that since everyone started this game Vanilla, scum night kills aren't based on hunting for power roles or anything. It will be based purely on taking people who are obstacles to their shaping of the narrative. Here on SA, people always ignore the NK motivation because of WIFOM, but that gives scum a free pass to kill whoever they want without having to think about it. Before he died Diqnol was suspecting Viva, Rarity and TheRam of being scum. Scum would want to keep him around if he was wrong, to help sell their cases, but would want him dead if he was right.

He recanted on TheRam in twilight, assuming the night kill order was put in after that, that leaves Viva and Rarity.

No scum on SA would do that. No one on SA considers reasons for the Night Kill the next day. It is a non thing. I've been on plenty of scum teams and I've read plenty of scum chats after game was over as town and scum are never concerned with it either.

Maybe in this game, after today, my bringing it up will change things. But I guarantee you that scum didn't even consider it to be a thing when selecting their target.
