From my perspective as well, I see . . . almost no one defending Tobbs, besides myself. No one really "Me 2'd" his Keane case, and anything else he's done here. I'd have expected some token support for him at this point if he had a scum team, but there really isn't any.

Ugh. Well if he isn't going to defend himself at all at this point then just do it. I'll hammer him if absolutely necessary because god forbid we continue this argument into tomorrow, but I don't agree 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.

Also this, really. He's given us very close to nothing.

MMT, walk me through what will happen if Tobbs flips town. How will your reads change? Because you have admittedly been operating on Tobbs / Max scum for this whole day, and I'm interested in any other thoughts you have.

This doesn't track to me. The first question is playing the speculation game, "what if you're wrong?" which I hate as questions anyways, but then the second part is "what reads do you have outside of us two?" which is inquiring about any auxiliary opinions MMT might have right now. You're grasping for straws.

This is like reverse tunnel vision. Instead of tunneling someone you think is scum, you're tunnel-protecting someone you think is town? It's really weird.

I'm not going to make any calls about Max's motivation because he's really sticking his neck out here in a way I wouldn't expect scum to do to protect a fellow scum, but at the same time it just doesn't add up to normal Max play for me. It's bizarre.

What specifically are you referring to when you say 'would mean he is scum anyway' ? I specifically said lurking is alignment-neutral.

only scum replace out is a surprisingly common argument

I just want to see more stuff from MMT. She's admitted that she's dismissed other cases simply because I am the one pushing them and she feels strongly that I'm scum with Tobbs. That's frustrating for me to see because I'm just getting dismissed, and if Tobbs flips town (I think he will) I want to know how that might change since for now she's really tunneled on this idea.

agreed, but it does work if max is scum and tobbs is town. the max post you just quoted seems to be him giving the subtle suggestion that if tobbs flips town, max cannot be scum, which also doesn't track at all

Okay, cool.

In certain contexts, I agree. I mean, I used that as a reason to vote for you because of Rarity. But Quid just hasn't posted any content, so the "frustrated scum" narrative doesn't connect for me. He just isn't here, at all.

Yeah, agreed. Would vote Max, but might as well keep my vote on Tobbs.

I'm feeling better about you btw, I voted you because of my read on Rarity but your play has been good so I'm reconsidering.

yeah, I was just being facetious. it makes sense from a mod standpoint that one would bother to replace scum, but I've only ever considered or bothered to ask for a replacement as town, so anecdotally I can't agree

That's a tough one to answer. I think I would still feel suspicious of you because I still don't believe your thought process on Tobbs' alignment is genuine, but it would definitely knock my confidence down a few pegs. Best I got is that if it happens, I'll re-assess the game during the open night and post some reads.

Off the top of my head, I would definitely start grilling Quid and Hats more.

Possibly PMom, mainly because I haven't really had a strong opinion on him either way this game (which is usually the sign of someone scumming well).

And as much as it pains me to say it given that we've seemingly been on the same page this game for the first time ever, I think I'd have to be at least a bit suspicious of CL since he's been agreeing with the case on Tobbs without really adding much more to it.

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?

You essentially either know him well enough to make a case he was going to make (and an odd case, not a standard one), and then he makes it. That feels off. I feel like that is something, when you replaced in, you said in the scum doc "If you were town, I would have expected you to do X, and I would have noticed that thing, so I have to do this." But you only know because you are scum together.

I don't particularly think that you are scum stickup, so that all falls apart, but I that is what makes more sense to me than what actually went down.

As explained earlier today, the robot doesn't consider new days as a universal "unvote," and so if you have an active vote on a player who is still alive the following day, the robot still marks you down as "has an active vote," and so won't record your new vote without an unvote.

Truly there will never be a robot revolution.

On the second day, the miners struggled to even talk, let alone come to a consensus. At the last minute they settled on Tobbs; too bad they were wrong.

Come morning the miners found yet more death in their camp. First was that irascible fool chores, who died with his skull broken open with a shovel. He was a humble miner.

:s: got some chores tonight, Hajair, Miner (town-aligned vanilla), was killed night 2. :s:

More horrifying was the death of the mine's foreman. He was a beloved figure among the crew, always looking out for them in their time of need. He never raised his whip against honest workers, always choosing to run the mine with respect and dignity than with the cruel fist of a tyrant. He made sure the sickest and weakest among them got double rations and warm beds to rejuvenate their tired bodies. In general he was just a swell guy - it was tragic to find he was murdered so brutally.

:s: chaoslord, Mifta, Foreman (definitely town great guy), was drilled open night 2. :s:


It is now Day 3!
