Somberbrero posted:

a nonsense reaction that pin doubled-down on over several pages, until eventually just refusing to acknowledge that this happened.
I don't know where this is coming from? Somber's initial vote on me pinged me as scummy. I haven't refused to acknowledge it's happened. That's plain made up.

quote:

please retire from mafia

quote:

huge overreaction to being called emotional scum by taste
It's not a "huge overreaction" because there's actual context behind it - Taste often goes on the warpath on me on day one because he's loving crap at reading me. I cited The Great War earlier, but a stronger example might be Byers' CYOS game, where Taste had such a strong scum read on me that he faked a day action with a scum result on me and wouldn't move off it (we were both town). This happens a huge percentage of the time I play with Taste and I'm p. sick of it.

quote:

Idk what a case for myself means? I'm town and it's obvious and the votes on me are really bad, especially Somber, who doesn't seem to actually believe I'm scum, and KFC's, who very pointedly engaged in disingenuous questioning while voting me.

quote:

disingenuous questions that pin has never once addressed. this is like 50% omgus.

Idk why Somber is saying I haven't addressed this. I have.

KhyrosFinalCut posted:

you seriously thought for a second that there was anything serious about his vote?

Pinterest Mom posted:

Why are you asking a question you know the answer to in an outraged tone?

KhyrosFinalCut posted:

Dramatic effect.

DId you think his content was scummy? You didn't like his read on the lord of hats post?

Like, look at that sequence of posts. He's responding to me saying I think Somber is scum because of his initial post while asking me if that's the real reason I'm voting and suggesting alternative cases for Somber instead. That's what I mean by disingenuous - those are agenda pushing posts, not posts that are engaging with my content sincerely.


quote:

a lurker callout at a point where i have more posts than the vast majority of thread. completely dishonest.
Not a lurker callout, I'm saying "I'm not going to be building up a case on Somber if he's not posting anything more."


quote:

The scummiest thing itt is still this turnaround you had in about an hour, where you go from "nah he's not scum come on" to "well I guess we just have to kill him because he's not going to be useful" and I'm not interested in voting anyone else because I'm already voting scum.

quote:

100% dodging the two first point here, literally shrugging them off. pin can't explain their previous position honestly because it doesn't make any sense.
I don't know what that means.

quote:

Think about the powerful message it'd send to the thread if we held hands and voted kord together

quote:

obvious self-preservation, instead of trying to push the case on me he shifts to the next most convenient target. i'm the case he's pushed most of the day.
Well, yeah. I know I'm town and don't want to die, I think kord is likelier to be scum than you are, and you expressed sympathy with my case on kord. I would be much rather he get dunked than me.

quote:

I'd take issue with "just" it's really more of a gradual thing, but yeah, it's not happening today and the exclusive focus on each other isn't good for the thread

quote:

they've been posting that i am scum consistently from page to page, and now it's 'unhealthy' to do that.
Yes. I realised that the exclusive focus on you and me was sucking up all the oxygen and wanted to move on to other things. The day's useless if I'm dead and the only content left behind is a slapfight between you and me. Somber is saying this is proof I'm scum, but it's the opposite.

quote:

pin's positions are clearly inconsistent with the of natural perspective of town looking to lynch scum. the case on me is immediately transparent of pin trying to fake scumhunting, if they honestly believed their argument it would not be nearly so difficult for pin to explain it.

I phrased it dramatically cause that's what you do in this game, and yeah, I have an opinion about you --- So I'm sorry if you felt unduly antagonized in a game of mafia, but I would in fact welcome a serious answer.
And I'm asking, Really? This is what you're going with?

First, as basically everyone else here has said, him voting you was a joke/continuation of dongs' joke because there's no way that his post was serious.
Second, like, where are you getting this 70% thing? If you want to expand on how you got to your read, you had the opportunity to do so. Instead you decided against that and started dissing me too. It's a scummy freakout.

I was being aggressive but I was also sincerely engaging with your content. you could have said "I'm saying he 70% agrees because of x" you weren't giving us any color, no one thinks it's even vaguely reasonable that you thought somber's post was anything other than a follow on to dongs' joke, so if that's all you had, then your case is rear end and doesn't deserve to be listened to.

You could have given us anything else and then said "I'm not going to fake content for you" --- what the gently caress are we supposed to do with that?

Having not been involved in this whole tiff the thing that most concerns me is that Pmom has been the steady vote leader the day through, but we haven't killed him yet.

This means a few things to me:

1) Town is not that convinced that he's scum. Why is this? Obviously there's no real concrete evidence on D1, but I'm surprised that even his accusers aren't necessarily going all out to convince people to vote him. Sure Taste has just been repeating his mantra, and while Somber laid out his case it seemed to be written in response to Pmom more than anything else. I don't feel there has been a lot players trying to do the groundwork necessary to get people to move to their cause. This is either because they don't believe in it themselves, but I just think it's because we're all inherently lazy.

2) This brings me to my second point. That we're lazy and apathetic. Were Pmom actually scum, there would've been stronger opposition. Someone would've been optioned up, there'd be little benefit in getting a bus in this early in the game and I think scum are content just letting town eat their own (because they could just save him on D1, bus on D2, and gain a day for their trouble). I feel pretty ok about our more vocal players, no one seems to be trying to control the narrative in any specific way so I think scum are just letting things play out on this D1.

So no I'm not comfortable voting Pmom. The only player who I read as scum without a shadow of a doubt was kordansk. So ##vote kordansk. I gotta work for a couple of hours but I'll be back for a while before going to bed and missing deadline.

you realize that I have been pushing for tremta all day - even though we have been talking to each other. you keep going on and on about me, and yet you are just basically ignoring the point that im trying to shift the vote off of you by pushing tremta.

Your logic doesn't make sense, even with coming up with some sort of bus idea. Tremta has basically no traction still, so what good does it do to bus him if I am scum. I can pile on to pmom if we were both scum without it looking suspicious, yet I am not - so basically the opposite of bussing there. I think it's less likely pmom is scum mostly because of the apathy votes on them. scum seems content to let play out that way.

Your taste posts amount to "Meta votes=bad" and a post in which you mostly quote him making low effort posts on Pinterest (which *is* the case, I won't deny that). Not exactly a strong record to point to there compared to your hedging on Pinterest.

That being said, I'm also not that happy with Taste--even aside from the "Hey guys, check out this chain lynch opportunity--I was being sarcastic (not that sarcastic)" on me, it's content-free anti-Pinterest posts.

We've had some chatty players but no one has really been super pushy about their ideas. Most everyone is keeping to themselves and only answering things when directly prodded. A more vocal player would be trying to encourage people to follow their leads to get something done. Like I said no one has been trying to persuade others to after Pmom outside of half hearted, "vote pmom/pmom's scum" it doesn't feel particularly convincing. Also, since no one is trying in particular to save Pmom I find it hard to believe there's a scum team at his back.

I'll put my case on you together now that I've a bit of time. I just wanted to get my vote in.

Jump on scumbuddy early in Day 1 so you have the chance to point at that later in the event Tremta eventually flips, if you are both scum. I've done that before as scum, I know it's a thing that can happen.

And yes, you could pile on Pmom unless you want to spread out your votes or if you know pmom is going to flip town and so don't want to look bad when that lunch inevitably happens.

These are all reasonable things to look out for.
