so if you had to pick someone from the thread who seemed most suspicious and insincere, who would it be

That seems like a pretty loaded question to ask a new player on day 1. First of all, as of right now, everyone is equally suspicious. Secondly, I don't feel like sincerity is a good way to judge someone since I'm sure that scum players would be quite sincere in wanting to lynch town players.

It's not loaded at all

scum inherently are insincere because they are arguing for the lynch of a player they know is not scum

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
I'm honestly not feeling the imgay dunk. It's better than nothing (I am and always have been very against the idea of a D1 no lynch), but it feels very lazy and kinda faked. My understanding of the "case" on him is that he's a perpetual null read/shitposter, so nothing is lost with his death. And maybe this is the pot calling the kettle black after my deal with Taste, but I feel like that's a total bullshit reason to vote him.

It sounds like something scum would go along with for an easy, no accountability town kill. "Oh, there was no way he could ever contribute anyways".

I'm gonna take a closer look at the people voting him once I'm not on mobile. I recommend that others do the same.

Actually I'm wondering, Narc could have meant something even more when she said he doesn't play with town's best interests in mind. Like does he just vote for whatever the hell instead of trying to help town? Like actively voting weird ways for laughs? I haven't read his games

imgay contributed to making asiina quit mafia for a month or two in Wild and Crazy Kids because he just idiotically went along with what his friend (who was SK) told him to do instead of actually trying to figure the game out for himself, and Anarc was following that game.

Okay, looking into posts, and here's my initial thoughts on everyone voting Imgay:

Chic Trombone: See below.
PropMach: First one to push the "shitposting" imgay vote. This post in particular kind of clears PropMach in my eyes. It's not a reason I agree with, but it's a reason I understand, can sympathize with, and definitely see as town thinking.
ANarc: Votes imgay for not contributing, but also isn't contributing. There's more to the vote than that, it's also a policy dunk, but that doesn't exactly work in Narc's favor. Would vote.
Garthoneeye: Garth has made exactly one serious post, and that post was a vote on imgay. I'd prefer not to dunk Garth right now just because with that level of activity, it's even odds he might just get replaced.

Chic, you're great, but I'm pretty sure you're scum. :ohdear:

Chic Trombone posted:

yo garth fyi you gotta bold your votes like so (##vote imgay) for them to be seen by our robotic overlord votefinder
This is the post where Chic's vote comes from. She justifies it because he scumclaimed here and, incidentally, included her in his "my scum team is". I don't know if that's relevant, but it's worth mentioning.

The rest of Chic's posts follow a theme of "it's D1, there's no good votes", and generally just trying to coast through. Kind of a null read, because there isn't much there to read.

Chic Trombone posted:

i have bad news for you my friend. it turns out, jokephase died already

please let it rest in peace
This post, however, is what turns me over from "null read" to "scum player laying low". In the course of one game-day, she's A) made a serious vote. B) stated that there are no good D1 votes, and C) made a jokephase post, in that order. She's not addressing any of the other cases, (except one post about my vote on TMMachine), and hasn't even said anything more about her own vote. The sequence of events from "make a real vote" (because of a scumclaim, remember) to "go back to goofing off" makes me feel like she doesn't actually believe in the vote she's making. That, in turn, leads me to believe that she doesn't actually believe in her vote.

So...

##vote Chic Trombone for giving a lazy but 'serious' vote that I feel like she doesn't honestly believe in.

I don't like Allen's content, especially the way he jumped on PMush (he said "I see what you're saying" after she made a different, even scummier, post than the one I was sniping at), but I don't think it's votable. PMush>8$>KB for me.

Allen was pretty out of it earlier, when he didn't understand PMom's post and PMom asked if he was even reading the thread. Besides that, there's not much to read. Not much content from Chic either.

The problem with that is that she was immediately asked if it was a real vote by Prop Mach.

Chic Trombone posted:

bruh scumclaimed, so

And that's the last thing she says about her vote at all.

It's not a jokevote, just a lazy one.

Then why hasn't she justified it? Honestly, if she's doing that, it's even worse for her, because then she's bandwagoning without any reason at all.
