Ok cool. Sorry for not being around.

I'm glad to see merk is still a large baby. Bif is probably town because of that. Yeah that's a pretty punk move to make a read off of that but it's a pretty punk move to quit in the first place so idgaf

Hello everyone, I'm glad you guys do longer days than the usual Auspol ones cause that'll give me some time to try and figure you all out.

Uranus said I should post about how my song makes me feel. It makes me feel slightly disappointed that I'm not Hold The Line, but confused why merk would rather post about Doug when this is such a sweet instrumental.

We literally only had two options, byers or allen
and byers was around to defend himself and post
and LUTR was the only one that wanted to lynch him around, and she was being really sketchy

So blame yourself, yuming, MMM and whoever else it was.


On another note i should have stuck with my gut and pushed harder for magnus/imgay.

i think yuming's questioning of my vote then ignoring it is p scummy and un-yuminglike.

I'm now thinking yuming/magnus scumteam, LUTR possible 3P

Curses! Foiled again!


I've only skimmed most of the thread so far, but I'm going through again in more detail now to see how it looks in light of our first 2 flips. I'll weigh in again once I've finished that. But 3 pages in, I just want to throw out there that the first thing to ping my scumdar was CPig.

He was the first to criticize Byers' approach, and was fairly harsh and aggressive about it:

CapitalistPig posted:

Seriously? gently caress you we are still in jokephase don't start with this dumb horseshit.

CapitalistPig posted:

Because you are doing this stupid crap where you pick two random people and say oh hey based on nothing at all when the only posts are goofing around these people are scum! let me get their reactions!

It makes me roll my eyes so hard it isn't possible to roll them any harder.

This would seemingly put him in total agreement with Allen, who also reacted very badly to Byers. But instead, CPig voted for Allen, pushing the momentum that way. (and this was before Allen went full emo by voting himself) While Allen's now been proven to be genuinely frustrated town, CPig feels more to me like he was just trying to keep heat off himself by letting Allen look like the more defensive one.

Nope, no heat on him yet apart from Byers just going "why so defensive??" It just gave me a scummy vibe though, like cautiously stepping back out of the spotlight while subtly gesturing "hey get a load of THIS guy" to let Allen go on digging his own grave. I feel like a more towny reaction would have been some solidarity, after CPig was calling out Byers just as bad for starting poo poo.

Even though yuming was busy, i don't see her as town asking me a question then not responding to it, i think she's struggling to get into the game and was trying to get into it by her question, but the fact she just tangents and peaces out with her 'i think it's byers!' post makes me believe she is scum.

Bifauxnen
Aug 12, 2010

Yeah I could see voting for yuming maybe, but by the time I get through all this I might have better scum picks than her. In-depth analysis: currently rendering page 5.

While my skim-first reaction was that Byers sounded like a classic (for Auspol anyway) tryhard slapfighting town, upon closer inspection one thing sounded real strange to me:

Byers2142 posted:

I was trying to redirect discussion to two people who were being ignored. Like I said later, at the time there had been three cases made, and two were being ignored by most of the thread. That warranted trying to get attention given to them, and raise the question of what other people felt about them. It was largely ignored again.

This "being ignored" line. When Byers came in so early with his case, and a good deal of discussion was about the Allen-CPig-Byers love triangle, this seems like an odd way to frame his motivations. Allen in particular got lots of attention for being so emo. If anyone was being ignored, it was CPig... :raise:

Not so sure yet if this is genuinely scummy, but it has certainly soured my first impression of Byers.

Let's come back to this list. It's literally a list of the people actually playing the game, and the reason given was to quiet the game down. There's no evidence of scum hunting from LUTR beyond calling me scum D1. It begs the question, if she doesn't want to find scum and she doesn't want conversation, what does she want out of the game and why? This list, her D1 scumhunting hiatus, and the motivations behind both feel scummy to me.

Honestly, I'd probably have killed him as scum.
