I mean really merk, Anon uses a power that (hypothetically please do not feel the need to clarify either way, keane!) gives keane a one-shot BP. if keane were to say so and then die at night, bam, Anon is probably scum, easy vote.

and that's the difference between a public and private power! if keane posted day 2 saying "oh someone gave me a thing that says I am 1-shot bp but idk who," and then he died that night, we'd go "oh hm well that sucks, I wonder who did it?"

A public role is always accountable for their actions and until we see the items are obviously bunk it doesn't feel right to vote her despite it. It especially doesn't seem right to completely and totally dismiss that aspect of her role as if it's totally comparable to a private power when it's just not.


yes exactly.

Yeah I am with ecco on this, I think.

I'm not writing Anon off entirely, because I do think her play has been scummy, but based on role and such I think she is not a good pick for today.

How the gently caress is it scummy to prevent a no lynch? I didn't vote her before then because I didn't think she was scum. And oh, look, I was right.

Working in read through now.

My time zone stuff might be messed up, did this vote come in right at deadline or an hour before?

If it was right on deadline, than it makes sense. If it was an hour early, it makes a little less sense. Plus inventor role doesn't seem like a scum ability.

pinmom is just tunneling in on narc, who honestly is pretty much like this in every game.

pinmom also isn't giving very good reasons for it either he just hopped on on day 1 with a fairly weak thing about bolding words being cases and hasn't jumped off since.

Started a new job this week. Flew out to Utah last night to meet my new team this week. On my phone at the moment while I wait for someone to install the proper version of visual studio on my virtual box but chances are high that I won't be around much except at night this week. And Thursday night I fly back home so not even at night that day except for at the airport.

As someone who has been scum with me should know by now, activity is not a scum tell for me. In most games as scum I've been top poster or near that. So I'm super curious how you figure that is indicative of scum kb. I'd love some examples because that seems made up to me.

Roy isn't the only one who got an item. Everyone who had a key at the end, including TMM, got an item. Keep that in mind.

So for the yuming bandwagon:

Merk had his case.

The next three votes were "I agree with this case, and will vote yuming."

The next three were "Well, it's either yuming or narc, and I think yuming is scummier."

QPQ trusted merk's gut.

Narc and Garth hammered.

Merk seemed to be the only one to actually put any thought into that case. I thought it was a pretty weak case.

MMT was not on the bandwagon, but had she been here around the deadline, I believe she would have voted for yuming, so consider her on the bandwagon.


Based on what we see here, I find QPQ's vote the scummiest, although I am not fond of opop's vote either.

In retrospect,

Birdstrike posted:

I disagree with this. I think scum would be spread on D1 at least in case the role that yuming could be used against them.

I also don't like you trying to clear everyone not on the lunch yesterday, as well as your telling people you think I'm town.

I like you for town but to imply that scum would know or be able to predict yumming's ability is silly.

That being said, it is likely for scum to spread out early... D1 kills are usually done by momentum than scum manipulation.

I'll back off of my argument because Keane said that the item doesn't make any sense as scum. Ecco, your analysis of this is really suspect though. We wouldn't know whether the item didn't do what Keane thought it did unless Keane told us what it said it would do and somehow we found out it didn't do that thing. That's the point I'm making. Your assumption that we would immediately lynch Narc if Keane died requires that we know what Keane was told the item would do X, he used it at night, and it failed to do X. We wouldn't have that information. If we did, the scum could play around it anyhow.

No I was just hoping to get a read on who seemed townie to make sure the items go to the right people. Although with the challenge thing, it is a bit of a crapshoot, but at least that person would have a good chance of ending up with it.

Yes, and I think there is something to be said for turning down items of protection. The only ones who NEED it are scum, the rest have nothing to fear.

That being said, were merk scum, he wouldn't need a one time bullet proof and he could earn town trust by giving it away.

Stupid awful app didn't delete a thought I started and didn't finish. It wasn't an important thought... Just that qpq at times posts highly detailed posts, which could serve as good cover, but if need to reread them to get a feel of they are good or not.

EccoRaven posted:

- murmur made a jokevote on you and then here tried to say it was super townie of her to do so, but then backs away as soon as someone calls her out on it. if she double-downed on her initial "it's so pro-town to make obvious joke cases!" I'd believe it was something she genuinely believed but she didn't, she immediately said "oh well it's just something I've been doing lately" (and later admits she's done it as scum before, too).

It seems like you're trying to make it look like I was heavily invested in using the Keane Case to prove my towniness, and that I was somehow foiled into admitting that I've done it before as scum, thus catching me in a contradiction? I feel like my point of view was consistent throughout the entire exchange.

To address the links you use, I was (a) responding to PMom/CPig calling me scum for making said vote on Keane, (b) explaining to Roy why I made said vote (to facilitate discussion, not to drop a cheap "gotcha!"), and (c) responding to yuming who felt my play was suspicious because she's seen me do it recently as scum.

EccoRaven posted:

- she made a post here that seems townie at a glance, since she's calling a poster scummy and engaging them with questions, but despite goo responding MT never follows up on it. just a hit-and-run kind of suspicion, much like she has against me later.

In the case of OmegaGoo and KB, I saw posts that I felt were scummy, questioned them about my suspicions, and was satisfied with their answers enough to move on to other suspects. I feel like that's a natural progression on D1 with the lack of concrete information.

EccoRaven posted:

- she votes me here and left it there for the deadline, but when day 2 begins (and throughout all of day 2 for that matter) she never followed up on it. she asked me to clarify my suspicions on opop and, again, I do so but she never engaged with me about it.

Regarding my throwing a vote on you on the day of deadline and not being around in the hours leading up to it: My bad.

Regarding my not casing you on D2: I wasn't around during the yuming/Anon push, but went back and read ANarc and felt that the cases on her had merit. I cased ANarc, she cased me back, somewhere in all of that I noticed that Merk was (in my opinion) acting suspicious, and so my attention was focused there. Also of note is the fact that Merk made the case that got yuming dunked, and ANarc (the other vote leader) directly benefitted from it.

EccoRaven posted:

- here points against anon here are actually really bad? like if you actually read them they're not "anon is scum for her posts" points, it's half "merk did weird things" + "anon didn't pursue QPQ" (which is lol considering the above) and then "she said one thing about my jokevote and then said it later!" (which is like, recontextualizing is totally a thing).

No kidding recontextualizing is a thing! I feel like this whole bulletpoint is basically rephrasing my earlier case, but using dumbed down language to give it less validity.

That she didn't pursue QPQ and that she changed her mind about my alignment based on my casing her are absolutely "anon is scum for her posts", and my point is that they're indicative of her not believing the things she's saying. And regardless of how fair/correct it may be, the timing of Merk's cases / his waffling on an opinion of her are suspicious to me and are shaping my reads, and I'm not going to not share that just because they're not open-and-shut cases.
