its funny, because I was totally going to push Kumba for the scum if Infinitum hadn't been modkilled...I scum claimed in a game once, and since it had never been done before, I picked 6 people for scum, and got 5 right. It was basically everyone that was like "I don't believe him"...which was pretty stupid for scum to do. Kumba fits that pretty well, but I agree that he's almost certainly not mafia now with Infinitum flipping

I just reread the whole game and didnt get much. I agree MMT's posts seem fake. Her initial vote on Ecco for instance reads as a big overreaction to what was a list of early D1 reads that didn't need any more substantiation. I'm also having trouble making sense of how, after all of the back and forth, MMT ends up with a "null-lean-scum" read on Ecco. Reads as overly hedged after that long confrontation.

Right now SSV and Absurd Revolver are both suspicious in my eyes for not really putting much out there. Admittedly neither one has posted anything for D2 and I can see that being a result of it being the weekend. But right now, if nothing changed, SSV would be my vote.

I'm cooling on Ecco and back at null on Pig - he's acting scummy, but not out of the ordinary for him.

tpink posted:

I'm starting to get a scum read on tpink - in my first scum game, I was very much afraid to commit to calling a town player scum and so tried to ride on "I don't have any reads :shrug:" for as long as I could, and I feel like I'm seeing the same sort of thing here.

Not that I think Kumba is scum, but he said that after Infinitum scumclaimed? Wasn't that more or less a foregone conclusion at that point?

I'm laughing at the idea of the scumteam going through the effort to coordinate a strategy where they all case the same people, only to have it all come crashing down when Infinitum chose to go rogue.

I thought her original cases were fake, specifically the one on Infinitum and the followup one on me. Going into the end of D1 / start of D2 I thought she was scum.

After more discussion/thought on it, (a) the degree to which she's fighting her corner and (b) the fact that Infi and Ecco were both casing each other makes me have to consider the fact that maybe she's town who genuinely thinks I'm scum, and (c) in light of more discussion I feel like the people who aren't really trying to case people (SSV, Absurd Revolver, tpink, CPig, and Garth from most to least suspicious in my eyes) are more likely to be scum.

I know people are going to see this and potentially glaze over it but I would really really really like it if people (other than Ecco) can read over this post and make a good faith effort to understand what I'm saying here.

EccoRaven casing me through the game posted:

(1) 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.

---

(2) 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.

---

(3) 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.

---

(4) (this is why it's unhelpful for town but good for scum - you get to look like you're making a substantive case but immediately back down from it as soon as you receive pushback without looking like that's what's happening. this is scummy.)

---

(5) then why did you vote for him just now? you keep going back to your cpig suspicions while simultaneously discrediting them. it screams "I know cpig is town and I like this push against him but I want to be able to jump off asap or otherwise not be blamed for it if it works."

---

(6) it's not an omgus if it's based on content. That's a scummy way to dismiss my points against you.

---

(7) That's all well and good but why exactly? If you don't have reasons, then it looks like you only think I'm scum because I called you scummy (which, murmur pay attention, that's actually OMGUS).

---

(8) ##vote murmur

my case yesterday + her subtly defending Infinitum every time I mentioned my gut feelings against him.

---

(9) (click here for link to view this quote)

ook at this casual defense of infinitum

(the implied answer is "there's no way you could think that, therefore you're scummy for saying it," which defends Infinitum against KK's hunch).

it really seems like murmur is infinitum's scumbuddy guys!!

---

(10) I think MMT backing down on me is kinda scummy since nothing has actually changed in our relationship. I don't think I've posted in the game once since MMT's flip (distracted by the throne games).

The points that she is using to case me are as follows:

(1) my vote is on CPig is "bad" and "fake"
(2) my suspicion on Ecco felt fake and opportunistic
(3 and 4) my attempting to create content is unhelpful for town / convenient if scum
(5) my hedging my vote on Pig was scummy
(6) my calling Ecco's case an OMGUS was a scummy way to dismiss her case
(7) my case on Ecco was actually an OMGUS
(8) my questioning Ecco's case on Infinitum was an attempt to save a scumbro
(9) my questioning KK on Infinitum was an attempt to save a scumbro
(10) my backing down on Ecco was scummy

Why is Ecco using three different posts (1, 3, 4) to throw shade on me for this post? It was literally my first game-related post, made from a phone, while people were still mostly in jokephase.

Point 5 ignores the fact that I explained why I was voting for Pig right here and implies that I was trying to deny responsibility in the event Pig was lynched, which I wasn't.

Point 9 is a blatant attempt to twist what I'm saying to look scummy. She invents a thought process that never existed (that I thought KK was scum) and then calls me scum for it.

---

:siren: tl;dr - What is motivating Ecco's posts? Is she town, trying to discover my alignment? Or is she scum, trying her hardest to use anything she can to drive a mislynch on me? :siren:

##vote Ecco - I'm vanilla town. I feel reasonably confident that Ecco is scum. My preference would be that one of us is the vote today.

So now you think I'm scum, neat.

Your defense of my case against you isn't very good. I discovered your alignment when I read your posts and realized they weren't coming from a town perspective, but a scum one. You keep trying to gloss over it by saying "ecco fabricates a scum explanation!!", but that's just not true; if your posts don't make sense coming from a townie, but do coming from a scum, then to me that's the simplest answer.

Your vote on CPig was bad. You made it seem like a real vote and then backed down from it as soon as you received pressure for it, claiming "jk it was just for a reaction!" ("talk about fabricating explanations" - sassy the raven). You revoting CPig me-tooing a case was bad, because it really looked less like "I think CPig is scum" and more "this seems like an easy vote." Your previous vote and case (which you had yet to discredit iirc when you revoted) could easily have been used to justify your vote while me-tooing someone else to distance yourself.

It makes more sense for you to be scum than town. That your responses to my case use scummy dismissals (the OMGUS point) and keep going back and forth over its conclusion further show you don't genuinely believe in it. You were trying to bargain with me earlier by de-escalating, hoping I'd back down too (a common scum strategy when they realize they're being cornered and can't easily dodge it). When I tell you I don't you immediately go back to casing me.

It's just all really forced.

Combined with your connections to Infinitum I think you're the best vote for today.
