I mean town are on town lynches all the time and we all know that being wrong doesn't mean you're scum, especially in regards to a D1 lynch.

Instead, I'm sticking my neck out to say this feels like a bad lynch. It doesn't make sense as scum because if I'm right and Ernie is town, people are going to say "Well, maybe you're scum and you knew he was town" and if I'm wrong then people will say "Well, clearly you were defending a scum buddy".

I don't get this whole thing by Ecco. 30 minutes after saying we have 90 minutes until the deadline, she is saying that we aren't moving fast enough and changes the deadline to tomorrow.

that is a literal description of what happened, yes.

I am doubtful that early-game short deadlines are good; normally my day 1s last a few RL days, no more than 5 but generally 3 to 4. But people clamor for tighter early-game deadlines! And so I made a mental note to check the votecount an hour before this ~2-day deadline, and if at least one player is greater than halfway to being executed I'd keep it.

But alas.

Remember nothing is stopping you all from voting for someone tonight to prove me wrong, the deadline extension is just to avoid punishment for failing to do so.

I think Sombre's logic is that it seems like Asiina is trying to lightly push onto Ernie.

I mean, otherwise what is the point of that post anyway then? Ernie makes an obvious joke post, and for some reason, Asiina decides to deride them for it?

Tired Moritz posted:

rude??? can you explain why?

I'm trying to explain why I think Sombre thought Asiina's post is odd.

Tired Moritz posted:

##vote Ernie

I don't want a no-lynch and I feel like Ernie's being scummy with the way that they are posting. So dodgy and filled with padding.

We were just scum together in another game, and talked a fair amount about why TM always comes off as scummy. In that scumdoc, TM was always overthinking everything, down to the most minute details. Even what he considered to be a towny stance was obviously from a scum point of view.

His posting in this thread is already giving me the exact same vibes, with him trying to explain why each poster is posting the way they do. Not enough to call him scum, nor am I comfortable with a vote on him right now, but this is the exact same scum TM posting style.

But that's the whole problem with it. Now nobody has the incentive to come in and make sure someone gets hammered today because there is no punishment/no lynch now.

All you've done is prolong the day to almost certainly get the exact same result tomorrow. People waiting until close to the deadline to actually complete the lynch.

I think at least one of the votes is from scum.

Also I kind of agree with this, and it (or one) is probably TM. He has a tendency to follow other scum on and off of votes, I commented that his voting/unvoting was incredibly scummy in last game's scumdoc as well

a better question might be why you are fighting so hard for someone who has clearly dipped from the thread. i can see thinking ernie is town, i kind of think that too in my heart of hearts, but what possible reason is there to white knight the only viable lynch candidate with some obviously strange and not-town behavior at the eleventh hour?

My original point was that he was either scum who wouldn't provide any tells or town who wouldn't help find scum, and so it made sense in my head to go after someone like that in the absence of a better case. The meta argument was absolutely me thinking "oh here's another reason chores is a good vote" after thinking about it more after the fact.

I'm glad deadline was extended bc it probably would have ended in a nl. Ecco said they'd only extend it if no one was halfway to the lynch. I was at rehearsal, sorry.

I don't really like all the votes on Ernie. He doesn't seem particularly scummy to me. I'm more pinged by tmm and dick.

The original interaction between Ernie and TMM felt to me that Ernie was purposely making a bad case (as people do) and seeing who hops on it, and tmm completely attacked him for it. It* was just such a serious casing for early day 1 that I assumed it was made for that purpose. I could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted it.

Ernie. posted:

I don't know. There are too many reasons to think max is town and too few to think he's scum.

That vote looks lazy in hindsight. If he's scum he knows it's a quick way to draw attention/disagreement right now. He's hopping his vote many times trying to stick it somewhere etc. It would all be very careless scum play.

Whereas on the scum side ... what? He reacted semi badly to a semi badly worded post?

Then he was talking about how he didn't want to vote Ernie, but when deadline was moved, he's only complained about how we could have lynched Ernie before tonight's deadline. He's just really all over the place and I don't like the smell of it.

This is such a waffly post. If he flips town, you can say that you totally knew it, but if he flips scum, you can say it was just a meta read and didn't mean anything. Seems super easy to make this post as a bus of your scumbro.

No offense, but this is a garbage way to play. In my mind, it means you either won't put your vote down until the final moments of the day when you can just say "Well, we need to get a lynch done" or you will ignore other cases because you've already voted for someone.
