I'll respond to your points because you put a lot of effort into it:

Evasiveness/Low Content Posting
  1. This post was a simple statement; it did not need additional explanation
  2. Followed up on this in a following post
  3. Post was made in response to a question
  4. Followed up in the following post
  5. :razz:

This doesn't seem a strong argument; I have been engaging those who engage with me and, although I have a lot of snarky/sarcastic responses, I follow up on silly posts as much as possible.

Buddying Up/Misdirection
I made a case against CC, and wanted to know their opinions on the case as it was a me vs him scenario. I gave herm a reread, but all I got was that he was a condescending rear end in a top hat. I'm happy to have lynched him.

Defensive/OMGUS
All quotes here are regarding the argument I had with CC. How is responding to the cases that were presented against me seen as defensive/omgus when I clearly stated my reason for voting was that his story did not line up with the facts?

Pushing ~Meta Reads~
Guilty, using my meta reads to support my d1 views.

I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond to my points, even if you didn't agree with them! I'd like to know more about your case against CC as we move into d2. It doesn't seem like there's a lot to go on yet (CC is actually under the Foo + votefinder post bar which I agree doesn't look great) but I'm curious about what rubbed you such a wrong way from his few posts that he gets an instant vote on d2.

For people in general - how was that effortpost layout? I tried to keep it readable while making my points, since there's been feedback about tldr megaposts in this thread and others. Open to feedback as a new player!

I really liked the format as it made it easy to address individual points.

CC's case on me was based on a false narrative, and after I disproved each of their points, they continued to leave their vote on me because "nope, scum."

He voted himself. He had gone from condescending to just insufferable with his "EVERYTHING I DO IS SCUMMY" post, and I was just over it. It would be a distraction for town throughout the coming days, and wasn't worth keeping him around.

Not to mention, if I were scum ending d1 early only hurts me. I put a big target on myself to get lynched today, when I could've just let herm's acerbic attitude lynch him instead.

If his lynch was a foregone conclusion, he wouldn't be around to be a distraction anymore anyhow. Hammering him so early was probably not necessary to secure his lynch.

I disagree. You don't know how he would have turned out on D2, after surviving pressure and with the results of the flips plus actions.

Your early hammer and defense of said hammer is still pretty scummy in my eyes and I would definitely vote for you today, but I am not going to start with it.

What I don't understand is why Hermetic just didn't claim. Tracker isn't so dangerous that it's automatically a NK and I'm assuming there is a doctor in the game since it's pretty standard.

Nth Doctor posted:

I feel the same way about Biaga so let me lay it out: Biaga's defensiveness and "lynching me will only hurt us :smith:" posting makes me think he's not a VT. Furthermore I feel a degree of empathy for him as a new player: I've gotten worked up at being voted on and acted weirdly before, too. All in all: Biaga seems like a townie who got tripped up by weird posting early on and then wavered between being resigned to getting lynched and suggesting that axing him would be more harm than a straight VT lynch.
...
but I've also been caught out in a similar way to Biaga so I feel some new player camaraderie here.
You were in a bad way D1 and I defended you. I'd appreciate it if you posted a bit more because I felt like I was hanging in the wind due to your lurking most of D1.

18 Hours Later:

Biaga posted:

So I have stopped lurking in this thread, so I apologise for not posting as much as I use to (continually I am in school so Wednesdays are busy for me) but regardless i will attempt to clarify my justification for pointing a finger at Kashuno.

The first person to vote for me was pope, I honestly think his vote was less a serious post and more a point of justifying to me the intention of day1 in feeling out people and forcing them to justify a vote or suspicion. Kushuno, on the other hand, was less about justification and more aimed at removing the first likely threat. He jumped on voting for the first person with a weak defense, or, more accurately to my situation, lack of experience.

Resigning to die is really easy especially when you have nothing to hide. I also have never stated that killing someone on d1 is anything but negative(though I have grown to see the logic in a game outside face-to-face interaction, as this brief period of attention in game has grown to show me).

I think this sums it up pretty nicely, and only saw this after I started this post.


##vote Kashuno
I think the reasoning on this vote on Kash isn't terribly great.
The key bit is here:

Gabriel Pope posted:

Kashuno is trying way too hard, but he seems confident in his convictions. I find Hermetic's opportunism a lot more eyebrow-raising:

Kashuno jumped on the Biaga vote ASAP, but Heremetic waited for it to conveniently build up some steam before joining in, then tries to stoke things up again when the fire starts to die down. With the weirdest, craziest theory I've ever seen, no less, then backpedaling when it's pointed out how crazy it is.

Gabe was suggesting Herm looks the scummier of the two between Herm and Kash. You used that to justify voting Kash.
I don't think your vote is wrong taken in isolation, but your casework seems fast and loose. I don't like it. You would be more justified in saying "gut" than completely misinterpreting a post and saying it sums up your feelings.

SirSamVimes posted:

Biaga's following posts have just made me feel better about my vote on them. Not only the advocating a no lynch (and recommending people who want to lynch d1 lol), they've started going with the "I'm going to get lynched, might as well not bother defending myself" thing which is also a very anti town playstyle. If you want to not seem scummy, give some opinions on who you think IS scum. Don't worry about being wrong, you can change your opinion as more information/posts happen.

sam, bro

i kind of hope you're scum because if you aren't this is pretty much the weakest and easiest d1 case to choose to push!!!

Do you have any opinions on anyone else, like maybe kashuno or hermetic?

I still don't like your Biaga case. It looks a lot like you dove in because Biaga was in the lead more than anything else.

SirSamVimes posted:

Also I'm sorry for not posting a lot, I'm not great at engaging in D1.

As has been pointed out: this is bad. This hurts the town. You have the lowest postcount of any living player in the game at the moment.

SirSamVimes posted:

:stare: I doubt that the scum have two nightkills in a 13 player game, so what are we thinking? Serial killer or town role?

To take a serious tack:
I agree with you: 2NK for scum seems really weird.
I'm leaning SK rather than vig and here's why:
In my notes on Deadbeat Dad and Someone Awful! I don't list anything from them as particularly scummy.
In the hot minute DbD was in game he pressed for content from more lurker types and gave honest looking feedback:
Giving read on Biaga, and Herm:

Deadbeat Dad posted:

Awkward newbie read for me, but I don't like your vote on Kash at all, don't think his reaction was really out of the ordinary.

I don't like my gut on Hermetic, mostly because he reads like me when I post as scum. High praise, I know.

I hedge a bit sometimes because I don't like to hard commit myself to anybody unless I for sure have information or a drat good gut read, so playing cautious isn't bad.
Pressing on Green Intern to get in the game a bit more:

Deadbeat Dad posted:

Who do you feel is scum? You have a lot of content and posts, but haven't hard committed to anybody yet. You had some good points on Hermetic and still said "you'd vote him to avoid a no-lynch" - you seem pretty stingy with your vote.
He wanted content. Doesn't sound scummy to me.
He replaced Tommunist who basically lurked. Yeah, lurking is scummy but DbD seemed to recover from that pretty well.

Someone Awful
He wanted to keep D1 going to get lurkers to post:

Someone Awful! posted:

We still have a long time until deadline and I'd like to hear more from sirsamvimes and tommunist and colonel corazon so if you three could post some posts that'd be cool and good

He stated voting preferences:

Someone Awful! posted:

I'll take a messy d1 over a low-effort/boring d1 any day.
Would vote: hermetic (for reasons stated earlier), ssv (lurking and lazy me-too voting), maybe gabriel pope but I feel better about him now.
I don't like this post at all, it seems like a completely overstated and unnecessary clarification to reassure us that you're totally town for sure bros :shrug:

He even cast (and later withdrew) a vote on Pope. He participated to a degree.

I don't recall anyone calling either of them scummy.

In conclusion AND TL;DR: I think it would be exceedingly weird for a vig to target either of them over some of the more high visibility folks in the thread.

I say SK.

A vig is generally seen as alignment neutral as long as the vig acts with good faith. For example, I though Kash was suspicious during D1, so if I had a vig and used it on Kash during N1 then nobody would really use the vig to judge my alignment.

Your case on Kash retroactively looks a lot better after Kash poo poo the bed D1 but your original case still looks pretty wobbly.

Although this isn't quite true. It is possible to have a multi-use vig, and claiming it would be making yourself a NK target.
