It's weird that someone said my comment on viva was omgus when her read on me was town. I don't know if she's scum but i didn't like the way she made a whole big "content" post calling me town.

Quid why the hell would i visit scum with my ability. That makes no sense. I figured after the boss fight on day 1 that since one of them was most likely town boss, i should visit them to confirm me. I had to decide which one i would go for and i thought dongs was the better option.

But....you don't know their alignment, and neither does the thread. How would they have confirmed anything?

Yeah that is A LOT of luck, and assumptions being made about what/who dongs is to the thread... Anarch, other than "Confirming myself" what was your whole game plan? Becuase there are some circles of people (Read: Idiots) who believe confirming yourself as town early in the game is a pretty scummy thing to do, and if nothing else, at least harmful to town play...

i feel like even day 1 if you really wanted to confirm yourself there would have been better options. there was some amount of ambiguity over what bosses were town, or whether any of them were.

There are just a lot of things that don't add up to me.

I could understand her saying "I wanted to confirm myself to someone who was suspicious of me." That's what I did with both Adahn and AA to get them off the track of trying to case me, because even if they are scum they have to support me as town because I know they have my role PM. If they ignore it and start pushing me as scum they are lying and I will have caught them.

Dongs looks like he had some AN suspicions, enough on D1 to warrant a visit, but that's not the reason she is saying she went. She's saying she thought he was town and so she confirmed herself to him. That makes no sense, and her posting doesn't show her work.

I don't believe this story. I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a town ANarc on N1 and even if I thought that one of dongs/Inf was a town boss, I don't see why playing those odds (50% of getting a town boss) is better than picking someone at random.

I'm fine with ##vote ANarc until, at the very least, we get a scum call / case from her. Most of ANarc's content surrounds the idea of duplicate roles / her honest visitor claim but she hasn't made a hard scum call on anyone since the early stages of the game. I get a similar vibe there than I did from tpink.

Can you explain why AA is in your list of top badguy reads?

I'm suspicious here because the list he named seems like a fair enough list of scum suspects (if not for the breadcrumb I would 100% think Hal is scum), but his reason for AA ended up not applying to this game. It makes me think SSV might have just skimmed the thread for other people who have had heat on them / would be easy to case.

Hi so I re-read the lead up to the tpink lynch and the only person I'm giving a provisional town call on as a result is moat. Adahn made the original callout saying tpink had not voted once the whole game, and Moat followed it up immediately. Combined with me buying the brewer bullshit now I think I can say this reasonably safely.

Also giving FL a town read for now since he confirmed the brewer bullshit (and inherited glowku's role!).

Confirmed town: me and Quid, Probably town: Moat and FL

So that leaves:
MMT
SSV
ANarc
CPig
flerp
Hal
Jimson
LD
VN
AA

Three of which are scum, argh.

Right now I'm squinting at ANarc because their posting today feels fake. Will comment more on this shortly, once I remember what caught my eye shortly before bed last night.

I'll admit I haven't been posting at all today because I wanted to see how you jerks cased each other.

true though i think i was kinda early on the tpink vote? i dont remember rly though i was p happy when he flipped scum not gonna lie.

anyways, idk how i feel about anarc. like i see the case but im not rly sure how i feel about it. like, i dont feel like its definitively scum or anything, it's just a little suspicious and makes me a little cautious. of course, with the growing # of people on it im also a bit wary but ill prob jump in on the vote near the end of the day to avoid a no lynch.

i actually started a case on aa but then it turned into a super long post and eh i wasnt feeling doing that. im gonna do a reread just to get further steps out. he has a lot of posts though :( . yeah rereading aa im liking him more as scum because even though he has a lot of posts i feel like there's not a lot of stuff there, you feel? like, its not even like me where i dont even pretend that my posts have anything to do with catching scum, his posts feel like they have content and are saying things, but he doesnt offer opinions or thoughts and most of them are setup spec or him saying setup spec is dumb (:ironicat:). he also tunnels a few players like adahn and quid and TQ (even though they confirmed each other lol) but that quid and TQ conversation by aa feels more town since i think scum would accept that more willingly since they already know that quid is town. for some reason he also relaly wants to die? but idk what information that gives us even though he acts like he gives us a lot of info.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

And if adahn/tq/quid aren't scum and I'm not scum, then like I said, solving the rest of the game should be pretty easy from there.

how? why? im so confused.

also i dont like cpig either i keep forgetting about him because he shows up for a little bit calls everyone idiots and then disappears. idk its not very useful and doesnt feel town to me.

so id prob go cpig > aa > anarc with like who i think are the scummiest.

No. Legit, at this point I have tried my best to drive off as many scum as I can which should be pretty evidenced by the 2 people that are already dead that were in my DEATHNOTE(tm).

I actually disagree with this. I think that scum does have a backup. I mean, it's possible that scum was assigned explicit Shine roles, but the rolecop flip shows that at least one of them was involved in the Shine lottery, and to my mind that at least makes it possible if not likely that they also have something for the backup mechanic.

JimsonTheBetrayer posted:

Not in that same joking way I read Li Dawny but he seriously seems like he is going out of his way to be mean and combative like he is over reaching as an ""emotional town player"" but in the games I've played with cpig he has an amazing poker face and wouldnt wear his heart on his sleeves unless he had a reason.

I went back and re-read Jimson's post history from the first Shine game. It's completely different. 14 pages of shitposting, mostly one-line posts, and throwing his vote around on anyone and everyone. I spent that whole game thinking he was scum and the only thing that stopped me from leading a charge on him was that he was investigated as town.

Meanwhile in this game he has 5 pages worth of material, much of which is spent drawing people. I know it's a meta read but it's a really stark difference compared to how he played (as town) last game. I think I have a similar read on Jimson that I usually reserve for TMM - when he's town, he'll try and find scum and not really give a poo poo if he comes off as aggressive/argumentative. In this game, he feels almost too nice in a way that seems fake to me.

I didn't declare that.

I said, ok with dying, but it would be a waste.

Also used cop n1 to clear Leatherman so at this point I think that's a pretty weak reason to case me.

I mean I tried to push a case on quid and adahn and that's far more scummy imo. I mean of all my content to use that seems like something easy to latch onto since other players did, but I never said I was useless to town, just that my death would get them on the right track. I stand by this point if it should come down to it, because I have no shine and am just vanilla without it.
