Wait I think I've played with tpink once a million years ago.

I need to think on this. Assuming he is somewhat a mafia veteran, he knows buddying and white knighting is stupid. (For the new losers) Buddying as a scum just leads to connections that will either be ignored or used against you while white knighting steals a possible reaction test away from the guy who wants to test the potential scum. The only time buddying works is if you think the person is new, but I'm pretty sure that very post he quoted would've shown that I'm not so I don't know why he did it. Might be lapse of judgment.

I'll finish this pizza and speculate

tpink posted:

Yeah, I think the easy answer here is that I'm pretty new. I only started playing Mafia here within the last couple of months. Was not aware that buddying/white knighting is dumb and/or suspicious, but having now read your post, I guess I can see the reasoning why.

Your Personal Muse posted:

I could've sworn I played with you like a year ago. Are you a bad man guy serial killer? You seem awfully jumpy

Absurd Revolver posted:

okay

are you scum this game

tpink posted:

Nah, that must have been someone else. This is like my 5th or 6th game.

And I am definitely not an SK. Pinky swear. (If I were SK I probably would have just kept my mouth shut through most of D1 at least.)

Why are you jumpy

Harold Krell posted:

No.

tpink posted:

I don't know what this means or how to respond to it.

Your Personal Muse posted:

You are being jumpy and nervous and treating me like I'm good at this game which I'm not used to. I would like to know why

Absurd Revolver posted:

good enough for me

how is it being harold krell?

Harold Krell posted:

Your dumb rear end --> <-- Me killing you.

tpink posted:

I'm super confused. I don't think my posts have been jumpy or nervous. I don't know if you're good at this game because I don't think I've ever played with you before. I'm just posting D1 bullshit mostly, so... I don't know what in particular is pinging you, if anything

Harold Krell posted:

That depends. How's it like being a big fat stupid idiot with buck teeth and a fugly fart face you stupid fat fart?

I have no idea what Harold's angle is here but these are some awfully weird posts if he's Town.

Hypothetical question: Lumpen, if you were scumbuddies with a lovely, terrible player who was making the game actively unfun, would you vote them?

Your Personal Muse posted:

Harold's angle is that he sucks and purposefully joins games to not play them

Tpink left because of my expert questioning

Get a better policy... like sitting on a rusty nail.

I am saying that Podima should know better. I think that the vt claim is a stupid move for a vet. I am saying that I am suspicious of Pod for making a stupid move, but stupidity does not equal scum.

This seems like a bit of a stretch, how is responding to people necessarily jumpy? What would you have said if he brushed stuff off and didn't respond? And you didn't like that tpink was "treating you like you are good at the game"? What a strange angle to take.

That was following on your initial call out:

which is also kind of strange. Casing based on (perceived) mafia experience is not an effective scumhunting strategy.

Just a heads up, I'm traveling today so I won't be able to engage as much, but will try to check in a few times via the phone app at least.

Is this a case, or a trial balloon? Looks like a post for a vote, but I note, there's no vote.

Classic Scumpost.
##vote tpink

• Avoids Scumhunting, prefers to talk about VT claiming rather than alignment
  
• Self-conscious and awkward post making an excuse to NOT vote Krell, but seems not to be thinking about alignment at all. Overly concerned with "appearance" of potential vote or lack of vote
  
• Makes a post to excuse himself from participation. It's not Scummy to be absent for IRL reasons, but in my experience it IS a Scumtell to be self-consious about appearing absent to the point of posting about it.
