Somber consistently comes off as decided in what he's doing. At a time where we're all constantly doubting every case and decision, there's only one way to be constantly sure and convinced of everything, and that's to have a plan.

If the only defense on Somber is that he didn't have to vote ANNarc when he did, then again I will point out that if either Somber or ANNarc flipped at any point for the rest of the game, they would have been irreversibly linked to one another based on Somber's D3 vote.

Okay got it.

Re-reading Somber:

Somber didn't think Ernie was scum when he voted him on what I presume is D1. Out of "viability". Doesn't seem to push a vote elsehwere that much earlier, only a vote on MMT and a welp I'd vote ernie I guess. Okay I got to part where he goes back to MMT. Talks a lot about viability again.
I think I'm at D2 now. I think Somber was consistently calling Asiina scum in every interaction or mention prior to "not being interested in flipping Asiina".
There's that word viable again when voting Anarc.
Seems to focus on viable votes a lot.

Somber going after Fisk reads as genuine to me though. Prior to this, mainly D2 and D3, he doesn't look like he cares about scumhunting. It may have been a wrong call, but it reads to me like he's going after something he believes in. I'd cahlk up his prior play as disengagement from not having a strong enough idea on who he thinks scum. Not strong enough to argue as fiercely at least.
That doesn't read like a man with a plan, as Ernie puts it.

I have no idea what that means? the result is right, but I still don't think he was a sane cop.

like, I guess we don't know if his results were scum/not-scum or town/not-town or what, and there's some uncertainty over whether tmm's alignment changed on the same night he was investigated or right after, but that TMM came up as a good guy in taste's results seems to be a point against him being sane.

in any case, I'm the worst person in the game to ask this of because I'm the only person who knows that I'm town, and i'm the only unflipped investigated player.

Not sure I agree with this. it's entirely plausible that somber could have been intentionally laying low as to not draw attention earlier, then coming out actively scum hunting..for the cop. this isn't exactly an uncommon plan for scum players to have. ernie's read fits pretty well. as you said, if cool-aligned is significantly different from town wrt wincon, the scum hunting could be real but incorrect. cool doesn't sound necessarily untownie though?

yeah I'm not trying to say voting for fisk is inherently scummy, we had no way of being sure of his role/alignment/results etc.

Im posting this because the thought just came to me and I'll forget later. This post makes me not want to vote Somber today. This was at the height of Somber's case against MMT. I think a scum buddy wouldn't have come in and thrown shade on my post defending Somber's argument. In fact, it paints a worse picture for MMT/ Amoeba. I'll revisit this tomorrow.

I probably can't make this case any plainer but the only reason someone would nightkill TMM over me is because TMM could get people on his side. We were both confirmed town yesterday. TMM was wrong about a lot (for example, Taste), so the threat he posed wasn't due to him having scum pinned. Whomever TMM was going to go after next is scum. I'm pretty sure that would have been Somber. But if someone else wants to go through TMM's history and point out otherwise, I'm all ears.

I'm around, but I still think it should be Taste.

My current thoughts on everyone in alphabetical order:

Amoeba - I'm honestly unsure. But he's in the group of unknown and unclaimed players. I would vote him today if needed, but I think it's a decision better left until tomorrow.
Ernie - Obviously town
Fisk - I still think Taste is lying. I think his play has been inconsistent and I just flat out can't trust him. I think he should be the vote today because if he isn't actually scum, I think it clears up things the most. If we don't lynch him today, then I'm worried that we'll have the same argument if he's still alive tomorrow. We won't know if his results are true or a lie.
Max - I'm still very worried that he's bamboozling me, but I'm leaning town for him. However, I just can't see why a scum Max would remove his vote from Ernie just before the aborted D1 deadline.
Moat - I'm also very worried that one of the unconfirmed masons is scum, but I'm not willing to go down that road right now. I'm 50/50 on which one would be scum. There are times when I think it'd be Moat and times when I think it'd be Somber.
PMom - I'm pretty sure he's town. I just can't see PMom busing ANarc, the roleblocker, when he could have just as easily gone after me. I made such a mess during D2 that pretty much any excuse would have worked to vote me.
Somber - I have the same feels here as I do with Moat. However, he gets a little more benefit of the doubt for the same reason as PMom. He could have just as easily voted me, but instead went after ANarc.
stickup - Another person I'm honestly unsure about. He seemed to have no problem with the thought of TM visiting him. It seems like he's giving honest feelings about the game, but I still just can't be 100% sure about him. However, I still don't think it would be the best vote today. I think the choice tomorrow will be between stickup/Amoeba.

TMMadman posted:

I just don't get why a scum Somber would vote ANarc, the scum roleblocker, when the vote was tied 2 ANarc/2 TMMadman.

I mean I made a mess of D2, so it would have been incredibly easy to vote me on D3 and not really get your hands bloody.

Feeling somewhat less like death now. Ernie is definitely acting extremely erratic but I think he actually was right about TM, albeit for the wrong reason




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.

i think this is a fake case from toe to tip. also, it was wrong fwiw.

I'm iffy on tmm, but pretty sure you're wrong about dick. This is wildly meta, but I've correctly pegged him as scum in 3 recent games during D1, and I'm just not seeing it here.

this is a stickup posted:

I'm guilty of this but I need to read everything once my head isn't killing me before I can form any real opinions. though I'm not voting based on my meta reads anyway

only mentioning this because it prompted me to go back and reread anarc. she's super obvious in her asiina interactions. she was also pushing tmm about the same time stickup was. i don't think pmom is scum based on her voting patterns.

this is a stickup posted:

I'd be alright with tmm based on the events of the latter half and esp. ending of d1 but holding off for now until everyone can check in. also I'm going to try and sleep again

some time passes between this post and the 'iffy' post but i don't get how you negatively characterize tmm's end of day one interactions.

I'm a little confused about why taste would claim one shot cop then follow it up by saying we should ignore the scum result

he jumps on the cop claim when no one else is really paying attention to it.

iirc I brought this up once but this would be dumb instead of just killing tm withholding the kill, leaving only 1 nk. break it down: I'm town, roleblocking tm only while visiting me makes me look very suspicious, prevents confirmed town(according to tm) and a town player still dies. I'm scum, roleblocking tm only while visiting me makes me look very suspicious, and accomplishes nothing that killing tm would not. why would scum do that? hmmmm

1. unless tm was a cop based on flavor, a godfather flip means there is surely a cop. this was right fwiw. as an aside, has anyone actually been in a game (ecco or otherwise) that had a godfather but no cop? that's a pretty neat way to screw with the scum

2. if a claimed mason recruiter that confirms town turns out to be a cult leader, the newly recruited cult member would not say oh yes I am confirmed town now, tm is legit. this was also ... right? something weird happened to the alignment and I'm pretty sure I was right on the money, but TM was unaware.

out of those seven players i feel best about, only three were on the asiina flip. for the record narco didn't vote

presuming that we started with uh 11 town 4 scum, either the remaining players on that flip are town, anarc is scum, and they voted perfectly(taste, murmur/amoeba, stickup, and max) or else asiina got bussed hard. or else i guess anarac is town and etc. etc.

i'm sure there are going to be some rudes words directed my way based on the circumstantial nature of this argument but I feel like the scum are somewhere in that list of taste, murmurmoeba, stickup, max, and anarc.
