Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Sorry, I had a busy weekend, and the free time I had got eaten by Stardew Valley.

Now, I don't know the ~*~meta~*~ as well as the other people here, but I don't get a scum read off of Tobbs. He just reads kind of frustrated, and I feel like scum would be more motivated than he's being. I mean, maybe that's an act and I'm reading too much of my own tendencies into him, but I'm not really seeing it. Gonna look at the Stick stuff now.

I'm real bad at getting people lynched so I'll just continue to only vote for people who I think are scum until you kill me today so it doesn't matter.

Keane chaos stickup quid are on the scum list.

Keane: "I have an important town power role."

Scum: (kills random unclaimed player who was going after Keane).

Makes you think.

I don't like this either. This is a some lovely shade towards Keane based on NK choice on N1.

His repeated justification for Max not being scum seems super thin too. I get gut and not feeling a thing, but you should be able to point to a thing even if you can elaborate.

Now I'm gonna reread hats like I said was going to ages ago.

Grandicap
Feb 8, 2006

That was a very fast reread. Ok, most of day 1 hats spent on the human vs lizard chat, which is surface level and boring (And surface level is bad because we are in a mine). There are a couple of light references to the bomb claim but nothing really firm. Super non-commital with everything.
And there is literally nothing today. I would have been fine with a Hats d1 lynch, but because of the lack of content I don't feel as strongly about it.

Now I'll look at Max who I thought was scum d1 and is pushing me today.

stickup's catchup stuff is not terrible. He was around when Keane actually used to play, so I don't get his trepedation there, but that is minor.

afaik rarity loves playing scum and I doubt she'd replace out as scum. I expect you'd know this and are trying for an easy push

personally I am the same way and have never even considered replacing out as scum. right now I am v. upset with ecco for not retroactively changing rarity's role to murder slug

I don't like the meta defense of Rarity. It feels cheap.

this is a stickup posted:

I opened up mmt's posts to see her meta case on tobbs, which she is sure to have made if she is town. mmt has not said 'tobbs' once this entire game

This is such an odd construction... That it actually happens is even odder. Is mmt the scums for seeing how he should be acting and getting self conscious about it? Focusing on stickup first, but MMT might be my next thing.

Ok, I would not be sad to see stickup go, but I don't think he has done anything super scummy, just some tone stuff with Rarity and then being in the position to replace in.

The thing I didn't like about you (the keane trying meta), was really just a singe event. Everything else flowed. Your questioning and pushing of me, while designed to get me voted out, seems to come from a town mind. Pushing me for details and information. This would be good for the town which ever way I flipped.
It just feels organic and not manufactured.

your catchup stuff, though, is pretty terrible. my meta defense of rarity, which was a direct response to bk, was also confirmed my someone else. which part is cheaper, the insinuation that I'm scum for replacing in, or a person that loves playing scum would not replace out as scum?

why do you think my post about mmt is odd? or rather, what do you think is odd about it?

I'm strongly against the idea of lynching Quidnose or Grandi today, mainly because every time I try and question Max about Tobbs, he brushes off the question and then tries to move suspicion to one of those two. Until we flip at least one of Max or Tobbs, my vote isn't moving.

Max posted:

Hot phone post take, I'm not really sold on Tobbs as scum, mostly because I believe he would have argued for me to be the NK, not Fisk.

---

Yeah, reading Tobbs again, I'm not feeling him for scum, sorry. I don't find his play now and his play in the space game similar here.

---

Yeah, no, this reads like town Tobbs. MMT, I don't think he'd be going after you for trying to drive a mislunch on him if he also thinks your town, just wrong. Also he usually does this defeatist thing as town.

---

Tobbs normally does throw votes but he also throws a lot of alignment calls out there. I dunno what to tell you here though, I know what scum Tobbs normally looks like. He gets really aggressive and fights back against almost every accusation. This just doesn't look or feel like scum Tobbs to me.

Half jokingly, Tobbs absolutely salivates at the idea of one day either voting scum me out or NK'ing me since that has yet to be reciprocated in our history together. I really think I would have been the NK last night if he had any say in it.

Max very clearly isn't trying to figure out Tobbs' alignment, he's specifically trying to argue that he's town using whatever he can find to make it stick. When it comes to Tobbs he's never quoting specific posts (even though there are plenty of suspicious ones), he instead just points out a loose reason that Tobbs isn't scum (many of which are incorrect) and then re-focuses his efforts into moving the vote on someone else.

A quiz for Max:

(T/F): Tobbs only substantial case this game has been on Keane, and it hasn't changed since D1.

(T/F): Tobbs has spent more time talking about other games than casing people in this game.

(T/F): Tobbs, self proclaimed "meta master", referenced Avantian Courier multiple times, but when stickup brought up my case on Tobbs from that game, he claimed to not remember it. He later made a claim about "Murmur's streak of being wrong about him", ignoring the fact that the last time I was tunneling him for posting like this, I was right.

(T/F): Tobbs claimed to have a town read on me because "scum Murmur tries hard and she isn't trying hard this game", forgetting that I claimed the vig kill, and then later admitted he hadn't read over my posts when he made that call.

(T/F): Tobbs has a town read on you but his only reasoning for this is that "the fishiness that surrounds you is absent".

(T/F): Tobbs has made scum calls on Quid and stickup, but hasn't attempted to case them. He made a tepid case on Chaos but admitted that he didn't go back and read the thread to solidify his read.

Don't answer with "I don't think Tobbs is scum", I'm specifically looking for whether or not you agree or disagree these points are true.

To be clear - after D1 I noticed that Tobbs wasn't doing his normal "make a million cases and throw his vote around" thing, which was suspicious to me. But I had some doubt because of the post he made with a bunch of meta reads (which is consistent with what I'd expect from a town Tobbs) so I wanted to wait until he posted a bit on D2 and feel his posting out before I made a case there. I was out for the start of D2 during the time when Stickup made his case / Tobbs started replying to them, but once I got back and saw their interactions it gave me a solid scum read on Tobbs.

I'm at the point where I squarely believe they're both scum so it'd be hard for me to call one more suspicious than the other. I would vote for either of them, but only either of them.

I think I'm leaning more towards Tobbs over Max because of the meta call (and again - I get that meta calls are whatever but the difference between town Tobbs and scum Tobbs really is night and day imo) but if the vote was going towards Max instead, I wouldn't argue with it.

I think Quid's lurking (like pretty much all lurking) is alignment-neutral and he should just replace out instead of us lunching a low-content player and getting very little content out of it except a flip.

The reason I'm pressing these questions is that they're facts, not opinions.

You're expressing that you think Tobbs is town based on things like "he would have NKed me if he was scum" or "this doesn't feel like his scum meta". I'm asking these questions because, from my point of view, it's scummy that said facts aren't weighing into your assessment of Tobbs' alignment.
