Even if you're saying that KKs posting style isn't alignment-specific, what's scummy about casing him / calling it out?

because no one else was contributing either during the jokephase. The way everyone was trying to feel out a lynch without voting and looking for the easiest case is scummy.

I think it's scummy for someone who has done nothing but post jokes turn on Khris Kruel for "adding nothing" with his effortful PR. It's an easy scum bait type suspicion, something scum see and go "oh other people think this is annoying, they won't mind if I vote on it."

I got scum vibes from:
- Infinitum (his response to my jokevote felt weird)
- KK (pot PR is dumb)
- tpink (from earlier)

pretty sure one of them are scum maybe more.

I think these reads are fake. Infinitum's response to Eccos jokevote was reasonable if not tongue-in-cheek, KK talking in a PR is not scummy, and I feel like tpinks posting is consistent with a new town player.

Eccos posting reads like scum who is giving the impression of content with jokevotes and musical chat. Her "reads" post is the only attempt at gameplay, and while I get that it's early, I don't feel like her read on Infinitum in particular makes any sense.

I think you're attributing too much intent behind a very early vote. There isn't much functional difference between "feeling out a lynch" and "making a bad case/vote to see how people react".

Are you saying you think Infinitum was making a good faith effort to get you lynched? (Same question to TNL)

the deadline is in like 9 hours apparently.

I think it's scummy that KK did pot role play. it's one thing to participate in musicalchat in a musical game, it's another to be aloof of the whole thing in the first place.

I think Infinitum has had low level scum background noise; something about his posting feels off.

I think giving tpink a total pass because he's new is wrong. maybe we shouldn't vote for him today (I have long advocated that policy), but don't pretend like his reaction a few days ago wouldn't have been scummy coming from anyone else.

I think murmur comes off bad for going after me instead of - say - the half dozen players who haven't said anything substantive yet. my suspicions were clearly an inch above "gut," haranguing me because of that felt opportunistic, like she hoped to get rid of a strong mafia player early on (or at least put me on the defensive). I know people will dismiss this as omgus but it's true.

murmur's vote on pig was bad as well. a meta vote about how pig wants to leave jokephase, like it's a bad thing? talk about fake cases.

so yeah I think I'd be fine vote for any four of them but I'd probably prefer murmur or Infinitum or kk maybe in that order too idk

So tpinks doesn't get a pass because they're new but you should get a pass because you're a strong player?
My case is that your "substance" (the post I cased and this one I'm replying to) feels more like scum making fake opinions than town trying to crack the case.

I never said I get a pass, your suspicion against me felt fake and opportunistic. these aren't comparable and it's interesting that you're trying to discredit my suspicion by making a false comparison.

to expand on this since I didn't mean to make it sound so "gotcha!" but:

you don't want me to use your cpig vote against you because you weren't making it "sincerely" - you didn't truly think he was scum, you just wanted to get a reaction. but that's kind of scummy. it's one thing if it's a jokevote and is clearly a jokevote; it's another for you to make a vote, make it seem like a real one, but then say "jk" as soon as you receive pressure for it.

combined with your case on me I'm left wondering "does she really think I'm scum? or does she just want a reaction?" which is both unhelpful for the town but really convenient if you're scum.

I don't want to attribute too much behind an early vote, but there's not much else to go on. It's not like there's a mountain of evidence we can dig through here.

I give Infinitum a pass on his vote because it was original thought. Absurd's vote was "me too!" which is the part I found scummy.

"Contents of a case" and "reactions to a case" are different things.

Regarding content: A meta read on CPig, by itself, is not enough for me to mentally form a scum read on him. The fact that I think your original effortpost and followup OMGUS are scummy, are much stronger points that, in my mind, justify a scum read on you.

Regarding reactions: Either you get reactions, or you don't. You don't lose points for trying something that doesn't immediately nail a scum, especially on D1.
