A real strong statement. :rolleyes:

Especially since you didn't vote for it at the time.

Seems more like you were floating the Moat idea and seeing if anyone would go for it before you voted for it yourself.

K, I'm going to take a break for a bit. I don't really want to deal with having everything I say get stretched into a "Max is obv scum" argument. I suddenly understand why chores doesn't like to post much.

The case being put forward right now is that two people are scum? Because...? They argued?

I really don't have time to argue against a case literally pulled out of thin air and am fine with where my vote is.

I won't even change it if it means I get cuddled instead of someone else, so if you're voting for me you may as well keep doing it.

Ernie, do you believe that all 5 of the people who voted for you on D1 are town?

Why do you not seem interested in untangling that knot?

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

Because I have no interest in pretending like I could do it.

Just like I have no interest in pretending I can figure out if there are scum voting for me right now.

What do you want me to say "x is scum because they voted for me. Y wasn't even though they did the same drat thing"?

Figuring out who is scum is the whole point of the game. Surely, if you're town, you think that one of the 5 who voted you has to be scum. Hell, there's only 4 of them left alive now, so it's an easier choice.

You must have some thoughts about who made an insincere vote on you, right?

It's a dishonest argument. It's one the TMM from 48 hours ago would have had no problems pointing out as silly, but is being willfully obtuse now.

Like this post the only reason it exists is so that TMM sounds like he's engaging in conversation. The motivation of the post isn't to argue or scum hunt or anything. It's just TMM wanting to appear like they have a townie mindset.

Why are you voting Asiina when we have two good targets in Max/Ernie?

Both of them have said enough that flipping them would give us a much better idea of the alignments of other people. On the other hand, while Asiina may be scum, flipping her doesn't give us anything to use tomorrow. And if she does end up flipping town, then we're even more screwed.

I'd switch to Ernie. later tonight if necessary, but Asiina feels like scum in my bones and I have to listen to Jonathan Fisk since he listened to me when I pushed a town mislynch.

But again, we don't get any real useful information even if Asiina is scum. At this point, flipping either Max or Ernie should give us a better idea of the other persons alignment.

I mean I'm all for lynching lurkers most of the time, but this doesn't seem like a good spot to do it.

Most of your case rests on the idea that Ernie and I are scum together, which you don't know because neither of us has flipped.

I'm quite aware of the fact that you are pushing a narrative where only Ernie or myself are the logical choices today and I think it's pretty horseshit, especially because I think I'm in a position where I literally cannot convince you otherwise and I'm still leaning town on you, so it's super frustrating.

TBH while I don't want to be lunched tonight, I think Asiina should just replace out rather than be the lunch target and I'm not super happy with the push on her.

TMM, feel free to decide that Asiina must be my other scum buddy because of that statement.

On the other hand, I think Max is being disingenuous in his posting. He isn't actually trying to make cases and instead he's just jumping on to other peoples arguments. I've shown examples of these actions.

This is bullshit. Most of my case doesn't rest on the idea that you are Ernie are scum together.

Most of it is based on the way you've been posting. You've been posting a lot, but you aren't actually making cases. You're just agreeing with people and using them as cover, particularly me.

Just because I believe that you are scum with Ernie, don't try to paint it as that's the entirety of my case.
