Lots of words not saying much.

I thought it was odd that chaos/TM came in with a lurker case all of a sudden. At the same time, lynching someone who hadn't once posted was ok with me.

I thought they were both scum after Mr. F!s flip, so I killed TM.

One of you is scum. If I get lynched, town loses. It's funny having a 2-page game, but I'm honestly not going to go deep into this and argue with either of you. Make your choices. I'm not going to risk voting.

you should argue your point, because if you're really town, it will win us the game rather than lose us the game. do you not think that post I quoted was weird? he comes out with a strong town read on you for something he would do as scum.

To clarify - I think it's highly likely he's town.

I also know as scum, were I to receive that in my role PM, if I had the chance I'd be the first one to make nearly that exact same post.

Chances are he is town both numbers wise and the fact that I don't know if many scum would be so quick to make that post, but I think it is more likely than not that he is town.

On top of that, I think your post is phrased scummily and I think you being so quick to write him off as town is scummy. Calling people town is an easy thing to fall back on as scum.

First one is, "poo poo, I slipped. Let's get off that track."

Second is, "gently caress, I know he's town but I need to come up with a rambling answer to justify my call."

You yourself posted that.

You're stretching mightily in order to try and build a case because you're stuck and not sure how to win the game.

For your first point I present these posts - I argue against focusing on the role PM crap because of these points I make

windshipper posted:

Thoughts on Tired Moritz?

And yes, I acknowledge that they usually don't send the scum new role PMs. Again, I maintain my stance that until I see a card flip on a player, I'm not going to call them confirmed town. In addition, I hold in suspicion those who automatically refer to someone as "sure" town. That's an easy stance to take on a player.

And no, once the first one or two people have responded, you can no longer "break" the game. In a small game like this that's helpful, for sure, but...

I don't trust a player to be town until I see cardflip. I think they might be more likely town than no, but I'm not gonna dismiss anyone as not being scum until it's confirmed.

In addition, as I told you in a prior post - That whole spiel about you trying to break the game doesn't work past the first one or maybe two players who confirm their win condition. And that's assuming the scum don't have the proper town fake claim in the first place.

Oh yeah and I killed chaoslord.

I would argue that Tobbs as scum was in fact given a town fake claim that was exactly as I predicted:

windshipper posted:

That's a dumb line of thinking. Do you not think mafia would receive a fake role PM just in case?

Especially considering that the mod gave townies a different PM than was in the OP. It makes more sense that he'd copy/paste it to all of us and then also into the mafia role PM. It's not like mods fuckin' hand write every single role pm for a generic role with a quill pen and ink well, and only send it out on the finest parchment.

Qualifications - look at the games list on votefinder and search my name. And then also know I did this before votefinder was a thing.

windshipper posted:

Lol that's not a hint bro. He outright said it.

And if the mod changed poo poo, why wouldn't he?

Laziness sure, not to throw the mod under the bus, but yeah he could leave the OP as is and all and say, "gently caress it" to the scum, but... It's wiser to be cautious as town than totally accepting of any and every claim ever. That's just basic logic.

You noticed that win condition and that there was no alignment, and made that move to try and confirm yourself as town, coast the rest of the game.

In addition, when pressed for an opinion -

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

This pings me a little. The description in the OP talks about eliminating scum, but the actual role PM doesn't mention them.

Is it a slip, or just an interpretation of the actual town role PM? I'm not sold on it 100%, but I think it's worth putting pressure on him.

With 6 players, we probably have 2 scum, making today MYLO (if you ignore the vigs or they all fail).

I think we probably get one lynch, we're going to take our shots tonight, and the game is going to be over N1.

If that's true, this is our only day of discussion, so we need to hear from everyone.

You give a vague response that allows you to wiffle waffle.

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

Maybe I was reading into him too much, but when he says "I have a pro town win condition so I am town" it makes me think of the sample VT role PM in the OP, where it's mentioned that scum need to be eliminated.

Of course, the one in the OP also explicitly states alignment. TM's response seemed awkward to me.

WRT only having a single vote on someone, I'm inclined to agree. It's 4 to lynch, and with two scum all it takes is for 2 town votes to be on someone for scum to finish the lynch.

And this one again allows you to back out. You offer no opinions on anyone the rest of the game.

Then we come to today and you come out hard with a case that is a stretch at best.

but like, literally, it's the second post you make in the game. You state the win condition "You win when there are no threats to TOWN"

Which honestly should be modkillable for quoting role PM crap but that's neither here nor there.

Also, I'm wondering if you weren't mod killed for pulling that poo poo specifically because you are the only scum in the game.

Normally that would be grounds to modkill a townie doing that poo poo because it does effectively make them confirmed town in a lot of cases. In addition to all of this - If I were scum I would have killed you last night because you had made yourself so townie looking. You would be the one person I wouldn't want to be up against in end game. Yet, you're alive.

Why?

Especially now that I realize you killed Tired Moritz - I missed that post from the beginning of the day.

This is a Stickup stating that he tried to kill chaoslord and his gun jammed is just.... fishy now.

Dude, you posted the goddamn win condition in your second post. You built your case around that for the most part.

If I was town I would be concerned about sticky temporarily. Tired Moritz is a smart target to choose as scum because he's a non-factor more or less one way or the other, people would argue he could be town because he's just "him" - and in addition to that Stickup pointed out that he's kind of townie because that's just how people respond to him.

That then leads to scum being able to kill him and pass it off as a vig shot because they were "suspicious" of him.

Meanwhile, yesterday you had no goddamn opinion on him at all other than some waffle-ing. You never posted why you thought he was scum other than some vague fingerwaving in his general direction. Then you jump on a lurker lynch.

I actually didn't see you claimed that kill, no. I skimmed the thread when I got back because I was also working on my 3 hour lecture for Monday night.

That gave me a moment of hesitation as I was thinking it through, and then realized what I posted about TM being a great choice as a nightkill as scum for you. Hence the train of thought post.
