I feel like this is bullshit because Ernie is only the lynch leader by 1 vote at this point and it seems more like it's mostly because people aren't really engaging with the game.

don't forget asiina's spiritual vote

i mean i considered that but the lead is the lead. i'd much rather dunk mmt if that's an option.

What's your case on MMT again? I remember thinking "hhmmmmm yes" but I forget the details and as a rogue cop with nothing to lose, I'm very lazy.

MMT never really addressed my answer, so I'm not sure where she's at with that.

Reading back, I agree that her chores vote is pretty lazy. I always feel like chores looks like an easy vote to scum. He's one of the people I usually watch to see how people react to him. Would vote.

mmt made a case against chores that was two points

a) lurking
b) meta

a lurker dunk is extremely silly d1. lurking has no connection to alignment and it puts us in an awkward position in terms of information d2.

i'd also say that mmt has hardly been more active, which i don't think fits with her meta either.

i still don't really like tmm's position on ernie, but at least he has made a different case even if i find it entirely uncompelling.

I've pushed a lurker lynch on D1 as scum, but I also feel that a lurker lynch isn't that terrible an idea on D1 as town.

Lurkers are terrible for the game. It's impossible to get a read on them, they aren't helping to find scum and I'd rather just jettison them early because otherwise scum can make an easy push on them later in the game.

Dongs is 'playing' completely differently than he has played the last few games I've seen him in and it's really weird.

I honestly have way more of a problem with the way Somber is pushing cases right now than I do with the case MMT made against dongs.

Somber feels really dishonest in this game and I think he might be scum with PMom.

It honestly feels more like you're either protecting a scumbuddy in dongs or gain cred for not lynching town.

dongs has all of 6 posts after 3 days of the game being open. He's not helping and that's anti town. He could very well be scum who just doesn't want to participate right now because he knows lurkers don't usually get lynched on D1, so he's a perfectly valid lynch target.

Lurking may not have anything to do with alignment, but lurking certainly doesn't help town.

No, Ernie wasn't the only viable target when MMT made the dongbot case. That is a flat out lie.

There were two votes on Ernie when MMT voted for dongs.

You're being very disingenuous this game Somber and I really do think you're scum here, so I'm going to ##vote Somber

For all you're talk about not wanting to lynch a lurker, MMT isn't that much better than a lurker at this point. She has all of 10 posts more than dongs at this time and the only real point you have against her is that she made a meta case on D1 against dongs.

There's no cognitive dissonance. I was pushing back against lynching someone who was actively posting and while some of it was scummy, I didn't feel it was enough to lynch him.

On the other hand, you seem to be flat out refusing to consider that dongs could just be lurking scum here. Nothing dongs has done in this game deserves the protection you seem to be giving him.

Dongs is not known for lurking, he is known for the exact opposite: posting quite heavily. On the other hand, MMT can be kind of streaky with her posting in games. I've seen her post heavily as both town/scum and I've seen her not post much as both town/scum.

Here's some questions for you: If MMT had come in and said, I have a gut feel that dongs is scum would you be considering her as scum right now? What do you think of dong 'case' on Keane?

oh my drat you are missing the point. meta is meaningless. normally i'm a medium to high volume poster but sometimes i just don't do poo poo. maybe dongs has stuff going on in their life, idk and idc. this is such an unproductive discussion.

i'm not going to speak to a hypothetical because that's stupid. we're not playing an imaginary game, we're playing the one in front of us. i think don'gs 'case' on keane is better than mmt's case on dongs, legitimately.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're scum at this point.

You think that dongs case which consists of 'I have a read' is better than MMT saying that she thinks dong is scum based on a meta read. They are basically the same thing.

It's the same loving case. Holy loving poo poo, you the one being obtuse.

Dongs case is 'I have a read'. MMTs case is 'I have a meta read'.

Having a read and having a meta read are different things.

Both are bad cases though cause they don't convince anyone of anything.

I would agree if it wasn't D1. But on D1 dongs vote keane and then ~18 hours later came back with his 'I have a read' response.

So to say that's a better 'case' than MMTs meta read that a lurking dongs is more likely to be scum is complete bullshit.

Somber is scum here.

And just to clarify, dongs made his vote on Keane ~22 hours in to the game in his second post and then followed it up ~18 hours later with his 'I have a read' response.

Sorry, I have not been posting. I'm been stressed out with paying bills for something I haven't even used in 2 years.

Anyway, I just reread a bit and I find TMM's posting kinda weird, he didn't want Ernie to get lynched but he's also upset that the deadline is pushed. Yeah, I know that's not an in-depth case but that's all I can wring out of all the posts. It just reads like a blur to me right now.

I kinda understand the MMT's votes but eh, I don't really buy it. And actually Sombre's vote on them is kinda weird, since MMT's lurking a bit as well and they said that lynching lurkers wouldn't provide much information. Kinda confusing to be against voting lurkers because it provides less info and then vote to kill a lurker.

Tell me if I'm getting things right, the constant use of mafia terms kinda makes every post kinda confusing for me , a bad player.

Dongs made that post after MMT had already posted their read of dongs, this is not the same situation. I don't really like this characterization that you and TM have given Somber's case because it seems pretty clear to me that they aren't the same.
