Honestly, we should probably hang Kash or Rarity. I'm almost positive one of them is scum.

And remember, Rarity again came in and bitched about my play and then drops this vote on KK:

It will. How does it not clear someone? I mean sure, there's a 1 in 9 chance I hit a godfather or something, and a 2 in 9 chance that I hit one of the NK targets.

The only way it doesn't clear someone is if you don't believe that I am the cop.

But that would just be stupid because I'm the loving cop.

Why don't you actually go read my posts:

TMMadman posted:

Hmm. I think I'd rather vote Rarity right now. She comes in yesterday and makes a big stink about my play style but doesn't offer up any kind of reads. I have a problem with this because I feel that if she has enough time/energy to be bothered by my play then she should have easily been able to make some kind of call on my alignment.

I know she's been sick but she was able to post several times in a different game, but hasn't come back to this one even though the deadline is tonight.

##vote Rarity

TMMadman posted:

So as you can see above, I'm the cop.

When I got my role PM, I knew I would have to claim on D1 because lately I've been the N1 kill due to my play style. Since there are only 2 scum and both have NKs, I figured claiming was the best chance I had to survive N1 and be able to provide some kind of benefit to town. I'm assuming there is a doctor out there and whoever it is absolutely needs to protect me tonight.

So I asked for people to read me to try and determine who I want to cop tonight.

I think the lynch should probably be one of imgay, Rarity or Samfu. Imgay seems to be trying to taunt a cop investigation and that doesn't sit right with me. Samfu was the third vote at an opportunistic time and has stuck with his poor reasoning to keep his vote there. And I made my case against Rarity earlier. Another issue with Rarity is that she tried to say that the game needs to breathe, but with 2 scum NKs there really isn't time to let the game move slowly.

So there you go, all my cards are on the table.

Once again, you do realize that this game hits lylo on D3 right? Even if there is a blocked kill one night.

So chances are I will only get two investigations in anyway. Claiming cop is the right move when I feel like I would be the NK target anyway.

I went to work and missed all the fun. I think kk's reason for picking sam is pretty wtf, but I really don't like Sam's reaction.

It's time for Overanalyzing Word Choice with your host, Vienna.

Rarity posted:

Not that I'm necessarily doubting you, I just suspect that was an incredibly boneheaded move.

The "necessarily" here is so base-covering. I'm not saying rarity shouldn't be suspicious of a cop claim -- but "not necessarily doubting you" feels like a way to be neutral without looking too neutral, if that makes sense? She didn't outright say "I'm not convinced" or "I can see it, maybe" -- it feels like there's careful wiggle room built in either way once the rest of the thread weighs in.

Kashuno posted:

I think that was a v bad claim and I don't believe it at all. You are under no pressure right now and claiming cop d1 is the least town play a cop can make.

This reads as more legit and less calculated.

Rarity posted:

I only commented cause I'm tired of your overimportant self-aggrandising bullshit and I can't be hosed to not call you out on it.

This makes me want to fist bump rarity over the internet, regardless of alignment.

But anyway, Sam.

Samfucius posted:

D1 cop claim under no pressure, wowie zowie.

I'm sure reacting here, in a carefully neutral way that doesn't make it difficult for me to either buy the claim or not, depending on how the thread goes!!!

Samfucius posted:

Yeah, ##vote KK for shifty post editing and white noise injections.

And here, Sam reacted quite a bit, but waited until kk gained momentum to let himself be talked into voting. The "yeah, I guess I'm persuaded now, to vote that guy" just feels forced and awkward.

Also, ninja edits are not against the rules, and never have been.

TMMadman posted:

Then try to loving hang me. But you can't because I'm town and there has been no counterclaim.

You know, it's entirely loving possible that we don't have a cop, or that you're scum trying to lure the real cop into counterclaiming. Being smug about your really bad decision to claim is counterproductive.

TMMadman posted:

And frankly, if I get killed tonight, that helps too. Or if I get roleblocked. It's a win/win for town.

How is that possibly win/win for town? If you get role blocked, you won't have results, and we'll have no reason to trust you, and ... Your logic makes my brain want to explode.

Kash sits there and throws his vote around to everyone and generally just looks scummy as poo poo, but every game nobody wants to consider him scum. Meanwhile, I'll sit there and tell the absolute truth and people will twist themselves into knots trying to figure out how I'm lying.

I've actually cooled a little on imgay, but I'd still probably lynch him. I'd probably also lynch Hal as well. Mainly because either of those two would be prime investigation targets due to their posting styles.

However, I really think the lynch should be Kash or Rarity. I've my my case against Rarity, but I think Kash may actually be the better target simply because he is actively scummy and he is twisting himself into knots trying to discredit my claim.

Okay, just to be clear: you're kind of doing what you said earlier that other people were doing, e.g. being upset and hurt that people think you might be lying, in a game about people lying.

Also, whenever someone jumps into their own claim and trumpets that it makes them confirmed untouchable town, that makes me much more suspicious of them. That may be what's happening here; you going "OBVIOUSLY I can't be the scum" makes me doubt you a bit, because scum always know things that town doesn't, so "it wouldn't make sense to do this as scum, obviously!!" and "clearly I'm confirmed now" both make me back up and look the person over more closely.

Overall I buy your claim, but I don't think it was a good idea. And I don't think it's a personal insult that people question claims -- we should. I get that you're frustrated, honestly, but some people in this game are lying, and it might be you. That's not a dig.

No I mean I understand it and I'm not upset that people think I'm lying, but at a certain point, it'd be nice to just have someone say "Sure, I believe it" without a huge argument cropping up around it. There was no reason for me to claim except to tell the truth and explain my rational for claiming.

I've admitted that it's a high risk play, but I've been the NK on N1 lately, so I felt it was worth the risk. Especially in a game where I am statistically likely to be the NK ~30% of the time even without possible bias from scum.

And btw, the last time Asiina ran this type of game, my investigations were the only reason that town was able to win the game. I was the cop in that game too, but it was also only my second real game of Mafia so scum were much more likely to try and lynch me than NK me at that point.
