And I'm trying to get you to clarify those positions. Do you think I'm scum bussing Kash? Do you think I'm scum trying to remove the vote and jumping on something easy from Kash?

These aren't hard questions to answer, so why do you keep avoiding them?

I don't claim to have an opinion on your relationship or lack thereof with Kash. I'm not sure how else to explain that.

I don't know what you mean by "remove the vote".

Wow I hate this post. uhh hasn't made any arguments linking our alignment and it's really bizarre you're taking it this way. In fact, his vote was on you before I started going in, so where does that idea even come from?

Okay I read over TMM and I don't really see him as scum. Having seen him as scum in the last game I played, most of his posts were completely empty word dumps with no actual content in them. His one big reads post felt pretty genuine to me and had some good stuff in it, and I like how he has defended his lurker callouts. I do think he could say twice as much in half the words if he put his mind to it, nobody wants to read eight-paragraph posts or posts with four quotes in them.

What do you think in particular of the fact that he's done lurker callouts on D1 before, to fake content as scum, and didn't have this lurkers-are-killing-our-community excuse? There's a nuance to my argument that him shouting over and over again about how bad lurkers are doesn't account for. I find the way that he defended his callouts predictable.


The Ninth Layer posted:

I've been debating whether I want to vote Grandicap, the reason I haven't yet is because I don't think scum would have stuck around defending the semantics of "case" for so long. Points against him for backing down very self-consciously, and personally I don't like anyone for town who characterizes their own play as scummy or scummy-looking.

So do you think Grandi as scum would go for something like that out of the gate? That's the big thing I can't wrap my head around, and why I probably wouldn't vote him today again at all.

And I'm asking you to clarify your opinion so that it's on the record. Why is it so hard to answer?

Also, why haven't you given any opinions on anyone besides me or Kash? There are 10 other people besides me and Kash. Do you not have a single solid opinion on any of them?

What is so hard to understand here?

The series of events: uhh calls me scum and votes for me, I point out a possible slip by you, uhh says it might be a good catch. So I'm asking him to clarify his position.

If he believes I'm scum then does he believe that I'm bussing you by calling out a slip? Or does he believe that I'm scum trying to redirect the vote away from me? He certainly doesn't think I'm town pointing out scum, so it's gotta be one of the other two.

Kash is there anyone you're NOT willing to vote for?

This feels like every other game I've played with Madman where he can't separate what he knows from what others know regarding his alignment, so he seems town to me.

Asiina posted:

I don't like Kashuno for calling out someone when he's provided nothing of substance of his own. Also Grandi made other posts commenting on Madman and PMom, which Kashuno hasn't done, but he ignores those entirely.

Kashuno is right that this is exactly the same opening gambit that TMM made in the Pearl game, I even remember telling him in the scum doc that it's weird to do a lurker poke that early in the game. Not only that, but I too dislike a defense which is basically just "Nu uh!" which he's made on two seperate occasions to two different people (first PMom, then BottleKnight). I've seen so many scum players saying something along the lines of "My flip will vindicate me" that it doesn't even register as a defense.

To me, this reads as you pleading that your white noise posts are alignment-neutral. They're not. I'm not saying all of your content is fake, but you have really spewed a ton of BS, just like you did in that game.

It will give us absolutely no information for tomorrow no matter what she flips and it's not like the game is void of other potential lynches that would be far more useful going forward.

Seriously, why shouldn't we lynch ANarc?

We learn the alignment of someone who hasn't posted at all and we also remove an easy kill from the possible night targets. If we leave ANarc alive today then scum have a free person to NK that won't reveal them at all.

If we remove ANarc then maybe we can draw conclusions from the NK. ANarc has no opinions on record so if she dies in the night we get nothing that we don't already get from lynching her.

A lurker lynch like this is nearly admitting that we are very very likely lynching a townie and your twisting and turning of circumstances to make it sound like a good thing is now cementing my vote.

Why are you assuming the scum team will take out a lurker?

They could just as easily go after someone who opposed them and let ANarc be modkilled for free later.

Plus even if they were going to absolutely kill her, why is a lynch that gives us no information better than a nightkill that gives us no information?

And why is learning the alignment of someone who hasn't posted at all useful information? If she's town, scum have an extremely easy excuse for the vote and if she's scum, there's nothing to go through in her posting to look for connections.
