Here's my case on AS from yesterday

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

I think this is probably a huge town slapfight and scum are just sitting back and :munch:ing


In Disney Princesses, infinitum did some fun and hilarious song writing which caused him to coast for a very long time. Turns out he was scum. I'm not gonna let someone get away with trying to entertain the thread to stay alive again.

Notice that AA's story of rereading the thread actually has very little content. There's nothing to back up any of his suspicions or vote. It's more like a summary of the thread than commentary and that is inherently scummy.

Why would there be multiple town-aligned bosses that's stupid.

Today better be one of Infinitum/dongs imo, and my money is on songs.

Also we really should be careful with that ability because trading three townies for one scum is not worth.

I see that you knew Infinitum was a boss long before I worked it out, TQ.

Good job! So you went through the same thought processes and Infinitum didn't call you out on it?

Or did you know he was a boss beforehand, because you learned it from the scumdoc?

Yeah, me too, it just took me a LOT longer. You immediately jumped to the conclusion that Infinitum was a boss, even though he was clearly trying to hide it. It wasn't immediately obvious to everyone, was it? No?

I just think it's strange that you spent a few posts talking about how infinitum was a boss, but Infinitum jumped on ME for having 'inside information' and being able to draw conclusions from Dongsbot's revelations.

No, it's not just strange. I think you scumslipped. That was a little bit too much info given too freely, too early. You weren't THAT engaged, yet you KNEW Infinitum was a boss.

There's absolutely zero reason for scum to target vanilla town. They have a strong disincentive, as they'd rather kill power roles.

For future game, stop thinking about NKs being based on what roles people might have and instead think of about possible lynch targets.

When you come out and say Quid is the honest visitor and is now 100% town, it means that scum can't make any kind of argument to lynch him and that makes him a thorn in their side. Now sure sometimes it's handy to know if a player is lurky, but Quid is usually pretty active and gets attacked a lot.

I feel like infinitium was already kind of giving up the ghost by the end of d1 and if he tunneled onto someone who nobody really was paying attention to, that's an excellent way to give them a weird semi-clear in the eyes of town?

Infinitum was still trying to claim that he wasn't a boss role, just that he had a snoop ability. I think here he was trying to clean up your mess, and when it didn't work you guys made a point of turning on each other so that whoever survived could claim some kind of town credit.

Truth Quark posted:

There's nothing to suggest either of them is town.

That said, we are kind of in a bad spot with regards to the bosses. They get a boon when they're the last boss standing, and scum can easily NK the town boss whenever they want. Its probably not in their best interest to do that right away, since whichever boss is left alive is probably getting lynched next, but they'll have it in their pocket all game.

We might be better served by letting the cop investigate one of them, and then at some point later in the game they can clear it up and we can lynch scum. I'm honestly not sure what the best way to deal with it is but I am thinking lynching either of them is a bad idea today.

Knowing that Infinitum was a scum boss, you were really the only one who argued for keeping bosses alive as long as possible.

Your argument never really made sense to me, though. You kept referring to it, but with the power scum bosses hold I see no reason at all for keeping them alive.

Sure, but were you really 100% sure Infinitum is scum? What if we lynched him and SURPRISE he was actually the town boss, then we have no NK to take down dongsbot and no way of knowing what happens if only one boss is left.

Instead, we didn't lynch either of them, they both got NK'd and we are left with a town boss and one other unknown boss. I call that a win for town.

That's all I've really got, though!

AA's pushing for lynching of me (good lynch target due to Infinitum's insanity), Glowku (also good lynch target due to infinitum), or dongs (possible scum boss if you're feeling really dark) is all fairly reasonable to me.

There are a LOT of connections between you and Infinitum, TQ, not the least of which was Infinitum's public announcment that he was going to merc you.

Knowing that he's a scum boss, I think I said earlier that I thought it was a ploy to get a scumbro killed and gain town cred, such that if you died and flipped scum he could say that he "called it".

.......

Despite this, there is a lot of pressure on AA today, and I certainly could be reading him wrong this game. Unless something changes he's probably the one who will be lynched, even though I think he'll flip town.

I'm never 100% certain of anything. However, read Dongsbot if you get a chance. The odds of him being scum were near zero. I also think the odds of there being two town-aligned bosses is near zero (town shouldn't so easily control a NK).

So, we absolutely should have lynched infinitum yesterday.

At least he's dead!

Most people would conclude that Infinitum was pushing town players for lynching D1, you are taking the WIFOM route and concluding that we must be cahoots.

There is literally no way to argue against this because we both have the same exact facts available to us, but you are starting from the assumption that I am scum and so everything is lining up nicely in your head to "prove" it.

Ask yourself this: what benefit does Infinitum gain by killing a member of his own team on day 1? He might get some town cred but as a confirmed boss, its only a matter of time before he gets called out, investigated, or merc'd. Its a bad play.

He never voted you, TQ. He said he was submitting your name to the merc. If you're scum, he'd never do it. It just means if you flip, he gets credit for it.

Also, he bussed me incredibly hard for having "inside information" and "knowing" that he was a boss.

You came out and called him a boss an hour before I did, he interacted with you, and he never brought that up.

Also, the entire time he was going after me, you never said a peep in my defense.

There was no, "Hey, it was pretty obvious that you were a boss Infinitum, remember how I figured it out first and we were chatting about it before Adahn chimed in?"

You were dead silent on the issue? One interpretation was that you simply didn't care. Another is that you don't mess with a scumbro while he's bussing a townie.

Nothing about me that screamed town. Awesome.

If someone goes after someone else with bad logic, the town move is to defend them. You came to the same conclusions about Infinitum without having inside information and could have stood up for me.

That's how townies end up getting lynched. That's how it ended up with Glowku (could have easily been me) on the block instead of infinitum, who you yourself said was "probably a scum boss but we MUSTN'T lynch him".
