Then call my post bad. Don't insist it is scummy; my post isn't scummy if I am town.

If I make a bad post PURPOSEFULLY, that is scummy.
If I make a bad post BECAUSE I AM FRUSTRATED TOWN, that's a bad post.

It's all about intent. Really big difference.

What I want to know is why Li Dawny feels the need to over engage Quidad of all people? When she could just ignore him and coast on the fact that they usually get ignored cuz they r mafia dad.

Like legit my argument and AR's got a quick one paragraph rebuttal but quidad is getting the whole of her wrath.

You know why I don't engage you Jimson? Because you're useless to engage. You make arguments based on how many words people use and if their phone is 'really' dying or if they're trying to 'buy time'. I don't like you on a personal level and if I could retroactively go back and never join a game you were in, I would. I don't want to spend my time defending my word choice or some other random play style choice that you've decided is scummy because you say so.

THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE bc there is not necessarily only one cop!! He could very easily fake claim cop in a game that can have more than one of the same role.

Umm , anarc, I am afraid it is you not making sense.

You are scum though so I understand why you really really want a claimed cop dead.

Let me explain to you though, why town should not.

You see a cop is a town sided role who could potentially help us locate scum.

So lynching one who is untested and un countered is really a very bad move if you are town.

It will be easier to determine if he is lying as we go forward as opposed to cutting it off right now.

This whole aa thing is BAD and also DUMB.

No? That post seemed pretty genuine to me. The only good argument I've seen from you, since you've been too busy calling the bad without saying why, is that yes, we can test AA more and more as the game progresses. I hadn't thought of that.

It would rely on us potentially wasting shine on a scum cop though.

Ok TQ let me break it down so that even an idiot can understand.


Saying "If I were scum why would I be doing this!" Is a way that scum like to use to disguise their actions as being townie because "Oh boy if I was scum doing this that would be risky!" Even though scum gambits are risky by default. Why would she be doing this as scum?

Well if for some reason you are scum, and AA flips scum you look like you were on a scum and did the right thing, if AA flips town , well, thats one less cop scum would have to worry about and you have done your team a service and can now get lost in the crowd of other people on the lynch and maybe paint one of them as scummier.

So part 1 of her post is scum posturing.

Part two

"I have no such inside knowledge"

Lol, ok sure.

That's the same as saying "Boy guys I sure am so town!"

It is LAMIST bullshit.

Does that help you understand it better?

I tried really hard to break it down so that even a dumb and wrong idiot like you could understand the glaringly obvious.

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.

Best votes: Infin, AR, AA, MG.

Infin misrepresented his role initially. However, I understand that as a boss he wants others bosses dead, and if he really is town aligned, he might believe that no rival bosses are as well. Currently he has it in his head that adahn is a scum boss, though I feel there's insufficient evidence to back this up on both counts. Most of the points in his case are plainly wrong or super reaching. I would very much like to kill him for poor casing and arguably anti-town play. For mechanics reasons, I'm not sure it's a great idea to kill a boss today though. I'm open to discussing this.

Guys, I have a great idea.

Let's all ASSUME that there is more than one cop and bandwagon the hell out of our only claimed cop, rather than letting the other cop(s) investigate AA.

As town, it is our absolute prerogative to lynch uncounterclaimed cops, just in case we have extra cops lying around.

Much town. Very play. So idea.

And now, to vote someone who came in to bus AA, played scummy yesterday and today, and voted AA AGAIN after he CLAIMED COP and NOBODY COUNTERCLAIMED.

Oh wait. It seems I already did that.

It's not enough for me to place a vote on her just yet because I have mixed feelings about meta votes in general, but it's another point of information for me.
