Could you further explain why you think hiipfires response is totally towne?

HiipFire posted:

In my mind at this point he's basically another 3rd party and I don't like keeping 3rd parties around

especially if they can flip into an anti-town role at any point in the game

To me this is HiipFire saying "he is a threat EVENTUALLY and POTENTIALLY, and that makes me nervous." I can completely understand, without any guarantee of knowledge of the mechanics of the game that a scum team would have since they would be coordinating their roles, being one of the early town members to see that claim and say "yeah that makes him really dangerous." That is a town mindset.

By comparison, look how Kashuno analyzed this claim:

Kashuno posted:

I severely question this because it's weird, but otoh you were completely up front about everything in Complete Bullshit so idk maybe total honesty in your meta.

No real opinion. "You bringing this up is scummy but maybe it's not because meta and the way you played before!" This is a safe, looking like I'm contributing post. By itself, might not be anything early game, but when I pressed him on it:

Kashuno posted:

Given his history, I think it's a null read. Most people I'd be a bit sus of making a statement like that.

This again says absolutely nothing. Of course it's a null read because he's saying "i'm a null role." I still can't see a reason why scum would bring that up, and I said as much when people were asking about it. But Kashuno doesn't say "it's a null read because if that's his role he'd be able to go either way," Kashuno says "it's a null read, BUT if someone made a claim like that I'd be suspicious of them." Two things with that: 1. he again is not committing to an opinion on it, just floating ideas that he could latch on to. 2. Once again he's subtly using meta arguments to potentially push a case.

And THEN once people actually form opinions and votes start to form on Imgay:

Kashuno posted:

I don't like a guy who could become some crazy role in a couple days ##vote imgay

He's right that he's never stated this, but why wouldn't he have thought that before? Especially when HiipFire floated it immediately and he could have commented on it as he was answering my question at the same time that HiipFire was? It's safe to make this claim now because it's the popular opinion, and again, if Imgay actually has NO alignment when he flips, well then Kashuno doesn't look bad.

He doubles down on other people's casework here:

Kashuno posted:

I see your point re: easy for scum to jump on. However, it's probably not a great idea for the game to have someone that can be turned scum and also assigned a role by Either town or scum. Seems like a risky player to leave around.

And then when called out on it:

Kashuno posted:

Almost like someone pointed out something I hadn't considered originally that changed my thinking

Ok, cool, you actually did say "I didn't consider that, that's a great point." Why didn't you vote then or continue to build the case? The way you rode this looks scummy as hell.

Yes, I do get that. Doesn't change my mind about seeing the way that unfolded in this particular instance and get bad vibes.

If you continue to do what you usually do I'll probably change my mind, but for what it's worth this ~feels~ a little less "looking around figuring it out" and a little more "well that was easy to latch on to, I lucked out with people taking my poo poo an runnin' with it"

While I understand the sentiment of "he could be dangerous" and we won't be able to trust him moving forward unless he ends up confirmed masons with a dead person or something, I think imgay is a waste of a cuddle today. Gives us zero information.

Really we should probably no cuddle today so people can start makign connections because what are we going to get from it?

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Are you implying I have a post restriction as scum that says "act scummy as possible to be anti-meta quidnose!" because that's kinda dumb. But I don't really see what else you might be saying because if you think it's not in my meta then I wouldn't be doing it unless I was actively going against my meta, which wouldn't be game enforced.

You completely leave out the part where I explain how, after posting, I came to that conclusion, and that's lazy and misrepresentative. I don't think there's really any way you look at me saying "yeah I get you, I thought of that, and ended up rolling with it even though I didn't even fully agree with myself because I wanted to see how people responded" as a disingenuous backpedal for something that didn't take traction, especially when I called Kashuno out for doing the same thing and clearly documented how he did it. That'd be pretty silly. It's also pretty silly you leave out that essential part of my post to make your part and I'm so curious as to why that's what you did, since you prove my point of it being effective as a reaction gauge! :allears:

This mostly reads as some puppetmaster poo poo? I left out the "essential" part of your post because it read half self-explanatory and half self-congratulatory. You floated the idea of a no-lunch and then immediately said "oh I was just doing it to get reactions". Well, you got mine.

This is a weird post. It sounds so fake and constructed. Then it ends with a non-committal accusation that reads like it's trying to deflect. Add onto this the fact that Epsilon is pretty much echoing my feelings on Quid.
