what the gently caress is this

among many other things there are so many other goddamn people you could call out for lurking, i even gave you a handy list!

I feel that people think adding gently caress to their statements makes them more edgy, authoritative or believable, but it's like reading and hearing the equivalent of a bunch of farts.

I also don't care at all about your list or your thoughts about who I should call out.

I think E+ is scum.

First off, I want to say WWM's comment about hearing the avatar makes sense in connection with Reservoir Dogs so the joke votes placed on them afterwards are extra silly, but it's important because actual heat was built off of those votes.

Gulag starts the voting on pg. 3. Capps is second on that vote, and Wall Monitor is third, with an argument that the initials of the players is confusing and that WWM's lack of knowledge about the game warrants a vote.

- Highlander Case called out -

Captain Foo does place a decent vote on WWM after WWM votes E+. Captain Foo takes WWM's comment as panicky, but what's interesting is this:

Why is Wall Monitor going after Captain Foo, when Captain Foo is going after WWM? I mean looking back at it you could buy that WM is confused, but Foo's vote on WWM is described, so that wouldn't make sense for them to be confused about it.

In fact their interaction, feels somewhat staged given that it's dropped almost immediately between them.

Also going back to the case on when I made my vote...

It's SUPER weak. I was the vote that put him at -1, and it was Pig who got the last vote in 1 minute later.

That was about 11 minutes til deadline. Did you expect me to hold out until the last second? I feel like this is a bad case, and an outright manipulative one considering my stance on what I want accomplished by town, and everyone else's stance against it.

##vote Captain Foo

I don't like what I've seen from WM and that whole interaction between them and Foo seems super suspect to me, especially with how I feel about Foo.

BUT...

The reason was to avoid no-lynch correct? Even so, you placed your vote on Mithross when everyone else abandoned it, and you saw what the votes looked like before deadline... Your reasoning is:

Call's me out on a lack of substance behind my self-defense, but because E+ is in a position to ride the momentum I'm gaining, they do and with lacking arguments.

Double standards, and bad opportunistic votes, not to mention your buddying with Captain Foo who I also don't trust.

Captain Foo > E+ > WM

If the game truly did start around when WM/WWM votes were being made OR even when I started questioning Foo, then the interactions in that block of time leading up to the deadline between these three seems super off to me.

Oh my god you're completely incoherent. Your pit could use improvement - there's still a few feet of dirt before rock bottom.

Look at GG's posts and tell me they're useful to town. Like, I don't think they're inherently scummy (I find very few things to be so) but I really don't see a lot of genuine towniness in them.

Defending WWM and Foo.

Somberbrero posted:

I don't want to vote Foo. It's weird to me that anyone has any interest in voting Foo.

WWM did seem antsy but I think that's a normal reaction to a lot of pressure with no reasoning behind it.

This post defends WWM and attacks Mithross.

Somberbrero posted:

Real bad post/vote. He's ignoring valid content because Hal is backing it, in favor of a bandwagon vote with a lot of momentum. The question at the end of his post seems too self-conscious.

Reluctant vote on WWM after Gulag's pile on remark.

Somberbrero posted:

Gulag is right.

I would vote GG if it were possible today. It is not. ##vote which way madness Sorry lovely Wok.

Why would WWM reveal somber? The only two conclusions I can arrive at are that WWM was trying to buy somb credibility, or he was looking for a 3P like an SK or something of the sort.

Dugong posted:

WHICH WAY MADNESS has chosen to reveal Somberbrero.

Somberbrero is Town Aligned and is wearing no mask!

Night actions in 24 hours please! Thank you!

Afterwards, Somber is panicky when questioned by Foo about his interpretation of the Highlander Vote. Just go look at his post history.

##vote Somberbrero

Reading this, I think E+ maybe onto something in spite of my past stance.

Epsilon Plus posted:

Also, just a brief point: it is possible but unlikely that Somber could be a scum godfather? We've had non-vanilla town and although I don't know enough about Hotline Miami's characters to really guess what the flavor would be, it's not mechanically impossible. I consider Somber town enough based on his content so far, but I just wanted to throw this out before we all get too far into talking confirmed town.

Is it? I mean you did defend WWM, and then he clears you to town? What incentive is there? The third option would be trying to isolate a single mislynch but that seems like a bad strategy.

piss-useless??? tsk. Also it would take a consensus for you to be killed, I've already been made out to look like a complete nutter. So why are you even sweating it? I'm more concerned about your posts, not just the fact that a flipped scum revealed you as town.

The way you go after mithross, the way you take that highlander vote, your apparent squirming when questioned by Foo, your immediate reaction to my current case. It's real defensive, and again, you did spend a lot of time defending the only person who flipped scum.

I'm just trying to interpret what's there, WIFOM or no WIFOM.
