Infinitum can you case Moat?

##vote Moat

I think Inf's points are solid and I don't like Moat's response. He's not scum hunting, just OMGUSing by saying "that's just your opinion, man, and a scummy one at that" and passing suspicion on to MMT for being absent. Lines up with the pattern Inf thinks he is establishing with him.

Consecutive Quidnose posts. Interesting. Pressure is on AA, Quidnose sees that Moat is the second biggest target. Infinitum posts an insane rant and Quidnose eats it up.

Is this what you're talking about Max?

Adahn1986 posted:

Quidnose is jumping on whatever is the current 'most likely to be lynched' person.

First it looked to be AA, so he tunneled.

Then infin posted, and Quid jumped on that and tunneled.

It seems like Dawny and Quid are defending each other, that's interesting. Especially with Quid's incredibly vague response to me just now, where he's usually detail-oriented.

I respond to this with many points, engage with Max on a few things, more content has happened since you posted this.

What do you do? You IMMEDIATELY restate this post and ignore all of that:

There is literally nothing new here. You posted just to remind everyone that you think I am scum, without saying I am scum, and by demanding Max case me for you.

Quid's scum list includes:

AA, Moat, Adahn, and Max.

Moat

Am I missing anything? Also, I've seen scum do the "consider this a vote for NAME" before as a hedge.

So yes, I do think you [AA] think Adahn is acting scummy, and I don't see why you are acting like you're not.

To clarify the reason I'm honing in on this line - if you think someone is scum, by definition you don't think they have alignment reads on other players. If Quid "does think that AA thinks Adahn is acting scummy", it implies that Quid thinks AA is town. That doesn't make sense given that it was in the middle of a large case on him.

I'm not policing this for grammar or whatever, I'm saying that the phrasing Quid used there betrays the fact that he's fabricating a read on AA.

Adahn is white knighting Moat pretty hard. He mentions him once before this in passing as town so it's kind of odd he's coming in defending him so far when he admittedly has listed him as "kinda town." He also is not offering an opinion on almost anyone else and it's....kinda weird. Makes me think he might know Moat's alignment.

Also, I'm not sure I buy his "look how cool he is under pressure" argument because personally if that was my actual opinion I would have posted only this:


Quidnose posted:

I also really dislike this post.

I was the first person to push for AA, so that doesn't even parse. People are actively talking about me hopping off of AA without explaining it so I am not sure why you are calling this a tunnel either.

You make it sound like I jumped on Inf but I assume you are talking about me jumping on to Moat? How am I tunneling moat if you are saying I am jumping on to "most likely to be dunked" person?

I am now suspicious of you and Max. How does that show me going with the wind of the populace, as you are saying?

I also don't see how I am defending Dawny at all, I haven't mentioned her, period, beyond looking at you for a weird rear end post you made in response to her. You are also making connections between unflipped players.

This is a hella scummy post.

You've admitted that this is a slow day 1, so not having lots of posts about Moat before the white-knighting campaign begins in earnest doesn't make sense. Plus, we don't really know moats alignment, so I don't know how to read his defense. I agreed with inf's case the first time he brought it up, and still agree with it now, but Adahn has at least been consistent with his opinions. You have not.

You are correct, you were the first to seriously push Adahn.

HOWEVER: The speed at which you jumped on Moat without another mention of AA is weird and you've rightly been called out on it. So why Moat and not AA (second time I've asked this)

Like, why have you backed off on that case? I thought it was pretty good, but the way you've been jumping on so many other people as we reach deadline reads like you were busing him but realized that you were doing too good a job at it and now need to hit the breaks.

MMT did something similar when you cased AA. AA has a lot of connections and people have still ignored their most recent post, which just looks way over constructed and passive for it to have come from a town mindset.

So putting my money where my mouth is: ##vote AA

Which is why I would prefer an AA lunch today, because it'll give us lots to go on leading into day 2.

I agree with Max. The reasons for lynching AA stand.

I think Infin's case totally lacks merit, and while Quid's change in stance is odd it's meaningless without a flip.

I still get town vibes from Moat.

Scum tend to sweat and get all flabbergasted and defend themselves. Especially if there are only two of them.

Moat is cool as a cucumber. He really doesn't seem to care if he gets lynched. Yeah, he's annoyed by infini going after him, but who wouldn't be? Getting tunneled sucks.

I don't really know. I missed / glazed over it the first time I encountered it, so your switch to moat seemed a lot more sudden then it apparently was. It would be easier to interpret if I knew AA's alignment, which is what I would like to discover now.

You're jumping around a lot all of the sudden now that people are moving onto AA, who has offered us very little. Take a step back and look at how you've been reacting to people mentioning AA. The moment I mentioned him and Moat, you jumped on me. The moment I pointed out his super awkward, self conscious post, you jumped on me and just called me scum. It makes me want to vote you but I'm trying to hold myself back here from going full on OMGUS. AA is the better lynch today.
