No. He's confirmed town because he's an "Honest Visitor" and someone claimed his visit.

Unless you think he is scum buddies with the person who claimed it.

I like MMT's Li Dawny case and I don't like that she commented when summoned but then didn't offer any reads when prompted.

Li, who are you liking for scum right now?

Dawny has been a tad soft this game. I've only seen her play twice, but when she was town she came out hard against her scum read (me) and when she was scum she lurked and tried to coast by and hope she escaped notice.

I don't think AA is scum and tbh it's scummy af to be pushing him right now.

To me Li dawny is acting like she did in the game where she was scum so she is probably scum but you know, meta reads.


Moatillata posted:

Well because at this point the only confirmed town are JakeP and dongs. The glowku lynch gave us almost nothing to go on. I'm trying to think about worst case we lynch town but what would give is a better read on the game as a whole. Some people have a lot of polarized opinions surrounding them which when we see their flip it might help suss out others. I mean would could lynch someone that hasn't posted at all but we run the risk of just lynching lurker town And gaining nothing from it.

This is a bad post.

Yes of course Dongs is town, he already flipped so why even bother adding him to the confirmed town?

In that case glowku is confirmed town too.

I am interested to know , however, why jakeP is confirmed?

Like this whole post was just words that are designed to look like you are contributing without actually saying anything.

I agree, but I think we have hammered the same people over and over. I tend to believe AAs claim and I doubt that Adahn is scum. MMT has thrown some opinions out but nothing has gained traction.

Actually, this is deja vu all over again:

You are talking about which flips will give us the most information instead of talking about who is scum.

I agree with this case. I actually got a lot of the same feelings from moats posting before I even saw this one. Moat is doing what scum often get caught doing - summarizing the game because it makes it look like they have content. He calls out someone for not scum hunting when he hasn't done any the whole game. He posts a lot about setup spec. I'm def getting a scummy vibe from moat.

This is why it was a bad idea for adahn to out quidnose. Please everyone stop assuming that shine role = vt. I think it's likely scum has shine roles too.

King Burgundy posted:

This still doesn't follow for me. On the info thing, I find that town flips generally don't provide much information in general. It's only a scum flip that normally lends any insight. And, we might have one! If Inf was scum. I mean, he was a boss, so that suggests he had a team? We can analyze the posting that surrounded him to look for clues. If you haven't already done that, why don't you go look at Inf's posts and the people that posted about him for clues. :) So again, you seem to be looking for information from the next flip that you theoretically already have. I find this weird in a scummy way, so I'd probably vote you here normally, but you seem to be playing way different to the game I remember you being scum in with me, so for meta reasons I'm holding off.

Yeah, lurkers are still a decent problem in this game. But if Cat doesn't up her posting, at least we can cuddle her tomorrow without ending the day. The others are just getting by with skirting the line.

Since you are here and posting, how come you responded to them and not to me?

An ever-honest pacifist with no mind for tricks.
I just re-read Adahn's case on TQ and I have to say, he brings up some pretty decent points.

Adahn1986 posted:

Concise case on TQ:

I'm going from memory here, so hopefully everything is in order.

1. TQ quickly accepts that Infinitum is a boss, despite Infinitum trying to hide that and outright denying it. Reads as a scumslip to me.
2. Infinitum pushes hard for my lynch because I "Knew he was a boss". Many people ended up defending me, but TQ didn't utter a peep (despite calling infin a boss an hour before me).
3. Infinitum publicly announces that he's submitting TQ to the mercenary. The ONLY reason to do this is for town cred. Everything Infin did (outing people on his list) was in the hopes he could get someone lynched for town cred. However, he didn't want TQ lynched, he just wanted credit in case TQ died. I think it's because TQ slipped up in acknowledging Infin as a boss way too quickly.
4. There is a lot of weird back and forth between Infinitum, but no real pressure.
5. TQ outright says "Infin is probably a scum boss" but gives reasons that are irrational to try and prevent us from lynching "a boss" D1, which would have likely been infinitum.
6. TQ immediately starts day 2 with an AA push. I've had a town read on AA, which I've been very vocal about, and I think the push on him is VERY scummy. As uncounterclaimed shine cop, he's essentially confirmed vanilla town. TQ pushed very hard for that lynch to gain traction before AA claimed.

There might be other points I'm missing, but that's the essence of it.

This is an interesting interaction. Adahn's points #1-5 are reasonably on point - TQ spent D1 saying that he had a scum read on Infin but that he didn't think we should lynch him because he's a boss. TQ doesn't really dispute that, and instead focuses his reply on point #6:

Truth Quark posted:

##unvote you're claiming VT {Cop} ?

---

"pushing hard"

Stop misrepresenting me, I had a town read on you but you are doing your best to make me doubt it.

In his rebuttal, he quotes his post to show that he wasn't going after AA, when in fact it would seem like this was what Adahn was talking about :

Truth Quark posted:

AA:

- Spent all day pushing Glowku (confirmed town), Adahn (probably town), and dongs (confirmed town boss)
- Spent the early part of the day contributing heavily to drunk chat and trying to appear very much like everyone's buddy

Good post covering your bases buddy gotta make sure you can back out!

Then, of course, there's this post:


Which is just bad, I already talked about Quid's "catch" but AA jumped on it like it was real. Its just him continuing to buddy up to as many people as he can.

No you haven't. You've claimed shine cop, but no role to go with it. Are you vanilla town with an alignment cop shine power? I asked you this question earlier and you completely ignored it.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

So you think my cop claim is a lie? You think as scum I'd waste my shine copping someone like flying leatherman? You think I set up breadcrumbs for a fake claim? You think there are multiple town cops? I mean a scum rolecop would be useful, but an alignment cop which is what I am... not so much. Especially when I get results of outfit aligned or not outfit aligned. You played like this in shine I and I had yoy pegged for mafia but was wrong so I don't know if I'm misreading you, you're scum or a town really way off track. As far as AR I can't say. My suspicions still fall strongest on TQ and ANarc based on how I've seen them play as town and scum.

It just rubs me wrong, "You really think I'm stupid enough to do X as scum." You're out of shine, you can't cop anyone else, and you're correct you would need both the doc and a brewer to make you viable again. I am starting to think the correct choice is to flip you and see if you are really running a scum gambit or not. If you do flip scum, it would also finally answer the question of whether scum participated in the lottery or not.
