I'd probably lynch Ken, Tremendous Taste or iajanus. Ken has been just being completely under the radar, and when people are saying things like "Wait, that guy's still alive?" it's not a good sign. Iajanus being reluctant to vote Quidnose despite being a device that is completely counter to his claim is really weird and off. And finally, I just get ~vibes~ from Tremendous Taste's posting recently.

If you disagree with the opinion in the post then there's nothing wrong with that, but reframing it to say there's no opinion there at all is scummy.

Stating that merk has popped in and out without any content is an opinion.

a smart scum thing is to be as vague as possible, and frame your posts so that people will infer what they already believe and flesh out what is actually a low content post. Now, it can be difficult if a player just doesn't have any reads and is trying to force that, but usually you won't see it again and again here.

I said that I didn't read mmg as scum and I meant that, but I'm starting to have second thoughts. I like where my vote is now, though.

Looking at the Quid push from yesterday, I think iajanus was the scummiest person on it.

iajanus posted:

I'd suggest we just vote on who's actually acting scummy, rather than thinking that we already have an exhaustive list of the handhelds like it's the most important thing in the game. I mean, it'll be sad for me if it's I get lynched because of that kind of reason, but I guess once I'm dead you'll get to see that my role is a GBC and that the reason for lynching wasn't based on sound footing.

That being said, I'm now interested in looking more at Quid since that was a pretty big swing to come out with - it may have just been a semantic misreading of the role but I'm looking more carefully for other signs now...

After the swing to Quid starts, he suggests that we vote for someone who's "actually scummy," but doesn't give any indication as to who he thinks that would be and doesn't pose any alternatives for us to vote for, since he doesn't have a vote down. Then, when we get close to deadline, he plonks down this vote on Quid:

iajanus posted:

In the interests of getting a lynch today I'll ##vote Quidnose, but only because not voting for anybody would be worse. I'm still wavering on the side of this being an honest miscalculation but I don't think anyone'll be a better target in the remaining time.

This, again, comes after he's spent the entire day without casing or voting anyone else, and feels like he's trying to gain town-cred if Quid somehow flips something that's pro-town.

So far today, his contributions have been a non-specific lurker callout, and a post saying that Taste has rocketed to the top of his scumlist, but with no reasoning of his own or even a vote on his new top scumread. It doesn't feel like he's coming from a town perspective at all.

I still think MMG looks scummy but iajanus looks a lot scummier. Still think Soag could easily be in on it too. CCKeane on the list but no longer high priority. Kash, no loving clue anymore.

Going to work now and should be around at deadline.

Alright, let's have a quick look at merk since I need to poo poo or get off the pot.

He had a flurry on the 12th, actually participating and focussing on Kat and Bif.

Other then that though, half of his posts have been:

merk posted:

Call me on my cell phone.

As for Soag, his intentional(?) misspellings seem to be a bit gimmicky to me and gimmick posting screams scum. And yet, he's been pushing to vote on me pretty much every day but I don't think that makes him scum, just wrong. Thoughts: town, misguided.

Yeah, that's part of the Soag characteristic linguistic profile or something. I remember thinking "Jesus Soag's phoneposting is really bad" back when he was town and thread king in the soldiers game. Was pretty funny after the reveal in the chat thread.

Actually, I said that we were focusing on the flavour and not in any way trying to actually ferret out people acting like scum. I then said that I was suspicious of Quid, but not sure - I never implied that I actually had a different suspicion. I then, later, posted that I'd vote for Quid in the interest of securing a lynch because nobody had presented as a better option but I still wasn't 100% convinced. Was that a misreading of what I wrote or trying to put words in my mouth?
