Now there's WIFOM about targeting you at night.

It would only be obvious after Tobbs flip, meaning they would have to be rereading. Lots of people are lazy and don't reread, this is MORE common with scum but not exclusive to them. You've just done their work for them. I'm trying to decide if you are being genuine in your reasoning right now, or if you were worried a scum buddy that for some reason wasn't in the doc very much would miss it and wanted to point it out for them.

Not to mention, you knew MY thoughts on claiming from the post you quoted, and took away that agency. Your post contained an opinion you could have shared when I gotcha'd someone later if you really felt it was important.

There is something off about her claim.

You can see from Tobbs flip why I knew there was a problem. I am curious how she came up with that for her fake claim though. Is it a real power from FF4 or something?

In the remake Golbez and FuSoYa also use twin meteor (because it was oddly translated from double meteor). It's during a little cutscene just before the last boss.

I believe that Rarity is telling the truth about being Leviathan - the question that raises is what that makes her alignment.

I would guess that blue planet is town, (moon something?) is scum, and that monsters from the Land of Summons are their own separate thing.

This is the response I was most ok with. Yes, they make more sense. I still don't see why you would have justified a vote for Inf based on them, but I can at least sort of get you here. I thought the place Pig said he was loving with people by making the choices on the nose for that game though was in the observer doc you claim to have read, but willing to let that piece slide. However, in some ways the rest makes it worse for me. Like you were trying to find an easy case to latch onto and mua ha ha ha'd when you saw that Inf was pushing things in a way that gave you an easy case.

Put yourself in my shoes.

It's the start of d1. An event happens, you think you see something, you throw out a barely-out-of-jokephase vote on Infi based on what you see. In return, you get this:

Infintum posted:

Soooooo your bringing previous game knowledge into this game, assumes it's gonna work the same way this time, and are voting me based on how the game worked last time?

MMT I've seen some dumbass lovely votes in my time man, but fuckin hell mate.

Scum also admitted in FF3 mafs that they preferred the safe options because it meant they didn't stand out, so what even is your point.

---

Trying to decide if MMT is dumbass town, or trying to manufacture a dialogue against me.

Like I gave everyone the easy out option of voting me if this turns out bad... Yet he votes me early and chooses not to vote D anyway.

Leaning scum more than dumb atm.
Bringing up previous game minigame voting meta was reaaaaal dumb tho

---

You used meta from a previous game, that wasn't even posting meta, to vote me.

Like legit have a look at your own argument mate. Even if I was scum, your vote doesn't even hold water.

Yes, I got annoyed at Infinitum jumping on that because to me, it was a way over-the-top reaction to what was initially a pretty "derf derf" vote for Infi. And yes, I replied with "You seem awfully nervous about a single vote cast against you early on D1." because I was frustrated at his reply.

But holy poo poo the people who are trying to spin that as me legitimately believing Infinitum was scum / trying to whip up momentum on him are either completely misreading the situation or scum trying to make my posts look worse than they actually were.

Man, this could not be a more false/shifting of goalposts style post. Just to be clear, are you saying that my reason for voting you consists of only your initial vote for Inf post? Because to answer your question, it could not be any more obvious that I have other reasons for voting you, as has been spelled out in multiple posts. I'd love for you to support this post with anything. Because you can't and it will be amusing to watch you try.

When I say "the first vote of the game" I'm referring to the complete interaction with Infinitum. I still think that line of conversation - yes, the vote and the followup - was a minor thing that people jumped on / misread / spun negatively.

Do you have reasons for voting me that aren't directly related to that?

This early post is worded in such a way that I don't think it comes from a Town Mind. Someone with a Town PM just doesn'tthe words "I would guess that blue planet is town". So I suspect MMT is likely... "(moon something?)" aligned, lol. As was said by Tobbs, the upshot of this is also 3P hunting.

Lumpen has at least put out an original read on Pander with reasons that seem like they come from someone reading the game so I can see where he might have thought what he said about me, even if it's incorrect.

DB's only alignment calls this game were on pera after it was clear she was getting lynched, and on me after Lumpen's post. And the wording of his vote for me was more of a blatant misrepresentation of what I was saying - I don't believe it sounds like an organic opinion.

Hm that's a pretty decent answer. I will have DB join you in your scum electron probability cloud.

Looking back on DB again I didn't like this post of his either, trying to back up pera not wanting to claim:

Dick Bastardly posted:

Inf, really?

A lot can happen in 13 hours that doesn't involve pera full claiming and allowing scum morsel of intel.

Then he walked it back literally 2 minutes later, apparently after receiving the revelation of "If you get lynched your role will flip anyway so what are you worried about?"

This is actually a good point, nevermind. I guess it's foolish to think pera is anything but doomed at this point.

Asiina: that interaction you had about quidnose seems off yesterday. Scum slips usually don't 'ping', that change in terminology from scum slip to ping seems like you knew you were wrong but were afraid to back down after being called out. Kinda dishonest read.

Lumpen posted:

On peramene: I am still very confident she's Scum. I find it amusing that she seems to consider herself such a fantastically convincing liar and trickster, but upon rolling Scum blows her cover in basically her first post with "~heh heh I'll definitely razzle-dazzle these rubes with some reverse psychology about how much I wish I was Scum! Ha ha! I am so clever!~" and then doubles down on almost every subsequent post. peramene, I think it is possible that the people you bamboozle in real life may not really be on the paranoid lookout for being lied to, and so may give you the benefit of the doubt, or maybe you're not any more convincing irl either but people are too polite to call you out. But here you are playing MAFIA against scarred, steely-eyed, grizzled SA Mafia veterans. In the other social games there is good strategic reason to humor you, but when you're a Scum in Mafia and try to be cute, we grind you into the dirt pitilessly and immediately.

There's something about this post that pings me in ways I think I'm going to struggle to explain. Lumpen said this when pera was at -2 and her fate was already sealed. Normally when I see Lumpen being an obnoxious and patronising dick it's because he has a goal, whether its to cause scum to slip up or to get a towny riled so they look scummy. But in this situation there was nothing left to achieve, pera was already going to be lynched. It reads like Lumpen's putting on a show of douchebaggery because he knows we expect it of him, not because he has anything to gain.
