good lord

you all now have to read my fuckin' wall of posts

here are my conclusions-
glowku has soft-claimed something all right
jimson's slip is quite bad. while he eventually backed out of it, i would feel dumb if a blatant scumslip went untested. ##vote jimson
betting is dumb and if i may editorialize, should be banned from mafia, but glowku's post about 'betting my life' is not a loving mafia bet you goddamn idiots
izzhov's attempt to set up a chain is also anti-town.
i'm going to give mr f! a pass for today given that he was willing to actually put his name to a full case, even if it was taken apart a bit later.

My head hurts.
Now that the whole betting fiasco is mostly cleared up, and we're back to casing, I'd like to take this opportunity to expand on the case against Mr. F, as they're my strongest gut scum read right now. People have already covered his weird Jimson/Infinitum stuff pretty thoroughly, but I actually find his posts from before that even more suspicious. For example:

Mr. F! posted:

Wow a lot of people are shoe horning in how towny they are in their confirmation posts. That's weird.

In context, this post is scummy as poo poo. Not only does he cast a generic aspersion without committing to accusing anyone of anything (the most classic of scum strats), but he does it at a time that's pretty firmly joke phase. Taking the game seriously during joke phase is a classic scum behavior. Overall, this post absolutely reeks of "I'm totally contibuting you guys!"

Mr. F! posted:

TQ what have you got to say for yourself?

At a time when people are attacking TQ. This is the most blend-in-est thing that anyone has ever posted. Not to mention he immediately follows it up with

Mr. F! posted:

I think TQ is not scum

I.e. completely backing down on his hard-hitting journalism with absolutely no explanation.

Then we get to the whole "vote Jimson not Infinitum" case. This kind of contradicts my lovely non-contributing player read on him... to the extent that I think he might have been coached to make this case in doc. It's such a dramatic shift from lovely white-noise scummy posts to an actual case that it almost doesn't seem like the same person posting. Not to mention what other people have pointed out - that this almost seemed engineered to take the heat off Infi.

Forgot to put my vote back. I think we all know what the right answer is.

Anyone that thinks what I said was honestly a scum slip is probably scum themselves. I am gonna be away from this game most of the day. I'll be checking everyonce in a while but I feel safe with this vote.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I don't get why both of you (Glowku/Jimson) are being so obvious about breadcrumbing this early on in the game, so earnestly considering the relative lack of info save for your initial N0/D1 powers. Glowku I suppose because you've said you specifically need shine? For Jimson I can't see any reason other than deflecting from the bandwagon.

My point is that you had this to say before the scumslip:

quote:

Here we have Jimsons entry to the game:

LOL, I'M TOWN, seriously guys townie is posting here.

Next we have Jimsons first serious vote of the game:

This was a serious vote; a serious suspicion. Originally I thought he was joking but then he follows up with his thoughts on the vote:

TQ was picking up steam in this time period, so Jimson wanted to plant a stake in that lynch. Something he could go back on. But then momentum begins to build on inifinitum, so Jimson makes the following post. The above post and the post below follow on another exactly. Jimson posts nothing between them.

See how he unvotes TQ here, while shifting to infinitum, who was picking up votes, but not immediately jumping on the bandwagon. Jimson wants to set up his suspicions of Infinitum. He cant just immediately jump onto the lynch. That would look bad.

Further needling of infinitum.

Further needling of infinitum. It's piling on without voting.

This post reminds me of his entry to the game. Wherein he felt the need to remark on his town alignment.

But I thought you were seriously suspicious of TQ and Infinitum being on a team? Has TQ's original "scummy" post that you were jumping on now no longer scummy?

Decides to vote for a gut case over the many suspicions he's voiced over the course of the game. This makes me think those suspicions were probably not ones he truly believed.

You seemed sure that Jimson was scum before he made that scumslip and went through a lot of effort to convince people you were right. To me, the normal town reaction to having your strongest scum suspect do something like that would be to want to case him more and convince people that your initial read is correct.

Your silence here makes me think you're trying to fade into the background now that there's other momentum on Jimson, and I find it suspicious.

Further down the parade route, a speakeasy decided it would be a grand idea to offer everyone a free shot of Shine on the house. For many people, that was the first time they had ever tasted the mysterious drink - or experienced its unpredictable effects.

Months later, people still talk about the clown that gladly took the offered drink, only to dissolve into a cloud of cotton candy-smelling smoke that dissipated into nothingness. He never reappeared.

By the by, I definitely have no suss with using the word "lynch." But, in this specific situation (A southern U.S. town in the first half of the twentieth century) I could see how it might go over like year-old mayonnaise.

Thanks for your answer, suge!

I just didn't see any other reason why he would assert so hard/with so much confidence that Jimson was scum that he was willing to lay down his mafia life for it, and not back down even after a lot of people claimed he was joking (which, again, he literally said "gently caress you" to someone who said he was joking). I was further emboldened when chores (who had the game-winning read in Shine I) backed me up on it.

But yeah, if you're town and you think someone might be a cop, what is your thought process?

"I think it would be super helpful to share this with town, as it's very important that everyone know who our potential cops are! Yay I am good town!!!"

No.

No no no.

The only players who MIGHT do this are scum, because they forget that if they think someone might be a cop, it is ESSENTIAL to keep those suspicions to their GODDAMN SELVES because scum's job is to find cops and KILL THEM.

i didnt think he was a cop toby i was just too lazy to type that

On that note, I see that you're right, chores did do the same thing.

Guys, tell me if I'm wrong here.

If you get an N0 or D1 cop, or are a cop, and you have a positive investigation result, is proper play not to IMMEDIATELY HARDCLAIM IT???

What are you going to do, strike gold a second time before you die? No, probably not.

Come on guys.

At least now I know why chores isn't making GBS threads up the thread. Two big names carved into scum mountain.
