So yeah we got a few hours left, maybe we should start consolidating our votes a bit? Anyone not voting a vote leader, can you either try one more time to make your case for your current vote, and/or explain why you don't want to vote one of the current vote leaders?

Say what you want Gulag, I'm kinda done with this game. I didn't expect the level of meta you guys apparently play at, where everyone has their scum tells already figured out, and quite frankly I don't care enough to go through and figure it all out so I can play "correctly". I'd rather just lurk and be lynched, and save myself the headache. When I flip town and you've wasted another lynch I can just read the thread and not give two shits about appearing town anymore.

Friction.123 posted:

Maybe I am dumb but it seems pretty obvious to me that taking all your tools for finding scum and putting them out there for all the scum to easily manage is a very scum move?

Again, I agree with the general opinion that TheCog wasn’t doing it from a scum angle but I have my doubts about some others.

edit: misclicked edit instead of quote trying to recover original

implies that cog and other players advocating the massclaim thing are different, for nebulous reasons. he says others even though I was the only one besides cog for the idea, which tells me these thoughts are manufactured doody.

Friction.123 posted:

You however strike me as an opportunistic scum jumping on an idea that will allow a scum roleblocker free reign on keeping the town’s tools in check.

he initially refuses to answer the question of what makes cog and I different, getting weirdly defensive about it and when he does answer, he STILL doesn’t answer because it was already established that cog wasn’t new to mafia. jakep's post that he cites was made before this was clear and is irrelevant, asiina's post is entirely supposition and makes no freaking sense anyway. 'scum roleblocker' is a very far-reaching, unnatural conclusion, especially for d1, fabricated from air.

I agree with punt's posts too, and his most recent post is....um...

i want to take credit for a murder so I'll keep my vote here but switch it to whoever has the most votes towards deadline. preferably not lumpen. metos, trasson, and KB are all good candidates but I doubt trasson and KB are gonna pick up steam.

Nope.

And on Trasson, he's new, right? The level of mastery you seem to be attributing to the guy in his first game is ridiculous. I think Asiina had the right of it.

No way that scum could ever fake not having information until it becomes publically available, and no way a player who is new to playing mafia here could ever figure out that playing along that you have the same information as everyone else might be the best way for them to not stand out as different from the townsfolk

For my part, it's less that he said he was town and more that I read his indignant post as genuine.

In contrast, Friction's frustrated post seemed manufactured, at least in part because he said things that didn't make any sense (the only meta case I can think of off the top of my head was Cog saying I sounded weird, and that's not much of a meta case, really).

And yeah, I realize this is completely subjective.

You guys are saying he came up with his fake claim(this part is easy in this setup) and decided to quickly put it into play in a super casual way that looks accidental in one of his opening posts. I'm sorry, that just isn't something I see from new folks. I certainly wasn't anywhere near doing something like that when I started.

lol the dude claimed vanilla town under no pressure at all, must be town!

I mean if he was scum he could be coached, or maybe hes just not a complete idiot and decided to subtly claim vanilla town hoping people would believe him that he is vanilla town

I haven't seen coaching at that level happen in any game I've been in either. But I know that's anecdotal.

JakeP posted:

Well, is there any new person that starts playing mafia here that we don't instantly think is scum? It's really rare. And it's playing out in this very thread to varying degrees. So I'd say, yes. They can't.


GulagDolls posted:

I missed this though. If he's played mafia IRL before it becomes more believable.

As far as I know my chart is correct. I have done the best I can. I promise I do not have a ~nefarious scheme~ to control the game with ~false charting~.
This is the most updated I have, please clearly list your top 3 candidates to get updated if I have ~manipulatively misrepresented~ you.
