Flavor is totally irrelevant to alignment and nobody would make any argument based on it, and such an argument would never be taken seriously by anybody. Scum are probably given totally safe flavor fakeclaims anyway.

So why make so many excuses and be so shady about it? Why make a "joke" softclaim about your role, then walk it back and softclaim again, then blurt out a VT claim under pressure, then get all secretive about saying more, and then make more excuses about your shadiness? You're going to get yourself lynched.

Because I'm such a stupid idiot, everyone knows flavor is meaningless, right? I'm being sarcastic, people hate it but flavor is just another factor to take into evidence just like anything else. It can be lied about just like any other part of the PM, and it can fit into setup patterns just like Roles. I am not making an attempt to distract or build any case on flavor. I am examining behavior and player choices around Mod-supplied evidence, while fully keeping in mind the large degree of WIFOM that goes along with any flavor data.

My PM implied that Ernie could claim Angharad or Nux to me. I was curious what he'd say. Because we're Unconfirmed Masons, I need to explore the possibility of a Scum Mason, because otherwise the role is pretty pointless. Ernie acted weird and avoidant about it which made me more suspicious. He Scumclaimed in the MasonDoc. He has made two very bad votes and spewed some very bad logic to support them. He hasn't seemed curious about the Unconfirmedness of our Masonry. I'd expect he would be just as suspicious about it as I am.

I think imgay is a good vote as he currently falls under Madman's Law. Would vote Opop to avoid no lynch. I don't like Lumpens recent posting and would vote him to avoid a no lynch but it would leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Right now I'll ##vote ernie because I didn't like his response full of exclamation points when I quoted him.

You got me. I do care about flavor and think that people who disregard flavor are dumb for refusing to consider all evidence. I confess to being a flavorite.

However, my case on Ernie does not depend on a flavor argument, and should not be mischaracterized or dismissed on that false basis.

Awful Index™ Day 1 Page 13
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


to make Lumpen happy I am going to take his LumpenList™ and call it an Awful Index

Really my biggest problem is that there are a lot of people who are posting one or two line posts and I can't glean poo poo from them, but I'm pretty sure that's d1 in a nutshell so I'm not stressing too hard about it

Kashuno is someone I've felt weird about all day (see my previous posts) and his defense of himself hasn't changed my opinion any, if anything going from his (joking) softclaim to claiming vanilla has just made me furrow my brow even harder.

Lumpen I've elaborated about and won't repeat, but there's no way in my mind both him and Kashuno are scum together so I'm trying to rethink him.

I am suspicious of Chamale but they havent posted enough for me to get a solid reading on, but I don't like what they've said, especially their most recent post. I don't see how Lumpen failing to change his flavor makes him read more scummy; if anything, as a scum team member with a lot of heat I would absolutely expect him to do so. That he hasn't is part of why I'm questioning my read on him.

I do not find Rarity scummy as yet and I have no read on Ernie. I feel TMMadman's scum hunting has been sincere and would not vote him right now.

I'm a people pleaser :shobon: And it was as good a framework to get my thoughts in order as any, so

I don't have a neutral read on Ernie, I have absolutely no read on him. I don't know if he's Scum. I don't know if he's Town. His post at TMMadman with all the exclamation points was bizarre. I'd be more likely to call him Scum than Town but I seriously have no idea what the hell to make of his post history.

I gotta say even though I have my doubts about Kash right now, I'm not liking his martyr posts.

If you really are vanilla town then you shouldn't be all that bothered by being lynched first because you aren't depriving town of a power role and the cases and votes made against you can be analyzed to try and find scum. Obviously that doesn't mean you can't argue against your own lynch, but the martyr complex in them sounds completely insincere.

Lynching vanilla town is the best option on D1 unless someone makes a truly bad scum slip or obviously scum.
