An ever-honest pacifist with no mind for tricks.
Ok I obviously suck at this game.

I dunno, reading over CL it felt like he was cheerleading wrong cases and I felt like that's what I'd be doing if I were scum this game?

I'm out for a little while so how about other people make some cases because I'm thoroughly rattled at this point.

It's almost like, there is another case out there (Grandi)

Max
Nov 30, 2002

With 15 players and this many town killing roles, I'm going to assume a 4 person scum team. We know for certain now that Taste really was double murdered on N1, so I'm not willing to entertain the idea that we lunch MMT.

Quid is thoroughly useless, as is Hats, with Pmom taking up the rear of that category.

That leaves us Stick, Keane, BK and Grandi who have actually engaged in this game.

I am not a fan of how Stick and BK tried to set up what I asked of MMT yesterday as some super duper scum maneuver to get her to clear me. Grandi . . . I still think is scummy. I didn't like his reversal the other day since a lot of how he was working through his thoughts looked super manufactured. It seemed self-conscious and bad. Would vote Grandi for sure, would like to see what BK and stick have to say for themselves right now.

I'm not willing to drat Keane on Meta and I like how he's been playing so far, so I'm not really willing to go down that road just yet, though I am aware that Tobbs is usually right on the money with his scum calls.

Lots of people yesterday said "Wow, I like what Max had to say about Grandi" but did nothing, so it would be really wonderful if people could look there.

Nov 30, 2002

I don't want to trash AA too much, for they really hosed up Day 1 in terms of reads and made it supremely easy to vote for them. Looking at BK, he spends a lot of time joking around with the AA situation before voting but it's hard to read it because AA just made themselves such a huge target, it was difficult not to.

BottleKnight posted:

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.

Call this OMGUS if you want but he somehow went from:

BottleKnight posted:

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.

To apparently being willing to vote for me the moment it looked like others had an issue with what I asked.

Would probably vote BK today, but he's not at the top of my list.

I am loath to admit this, but reading back on Pmom, I think he's town.

That being said, at this moment Quid, Hats and Pmom have less posts than Ecco and we are on day 3. In fact, Quid and Hats have half as many posts as Ecco, which is really shameful.

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
"Hey wait a minute, over here!"
One of the miners had made their way into chaoslord's office - a makeshift corner of the mine with his desk and personal things and a sign that says "4MAN" (the pun even works in Lizard tongue). This inquisitive miner was rummaging through chaoslord's things as a sentimental exercise (or maybe an act of minor looting), and had found something strange. On the wall behind the office there was a small recession, and knocking on it caused a small echo inside the stone, as if most of the wall was fake. The other miners found a way to tear it down with their picks and hammers, not noticing there was a small crank nearby which would have accomplished the same purpose.
Inside this hidden chamber was a lot of gold. Coins and ingots and nuggets and chests. Way more than chaoslord ever deserved in his wages. He was stealing from the mine the whole time!
No fair!
We liked him!
And yet it is true. chaoslord was, in actuality, a bad dude.

I like your case on the whole but I don't think the replacing out is such a big deal. Rarity does like playing scum so I have a hard time seeing her giving that up but if life is busy life is busy. Replacements are usually null tells unless it's like, meinberg.

That said, I won't vote stickup based on a Rarity case from D1. Stickup posts enough that a good read based on their own merits will be possible imo.

Point against Stick.

Tobbs I am interested in this post. Stickup makes a pretty good meta case on both you and MMT. You love meta and acknowledge that you believe stickup is correct. In your next post you declare MMT to be town. Why do you believe her to be town?

This is an unfair statement. I made arguments yesterday. I am engaging in the game, I'm not going to say I'm driving content, but I am participating.

Sort of. I'm still hotter on Grandi and am still getting town vibes from Tobbs at the moment.

chaoslord posted:

Fair enough. Wouldn't expect it to necessarily vault him to the top of your list so that's ok.

If you were on CLord's scum team I think he would have had a different reaction to what I just said there. Instead it looks like I just named two town that he doesn't give a poo poo about. So in fact you may actually be town.

Yes exactly, that's why I think CLord would have felt he could stick his neck out for you. It wasn't a very good argument and is easy to push back against. If you were town it would have been pretty easy for Clord to say nothing at all and see where it goes.

Grandicap

Clord also does some defending Keane d1.

chaoslord posted:

Tobbs why Keane? I see this post


Is that the whole basis of it or is there more?

chaoslord posted:

If I were going to vote someone not you, Dick B would be my choice. Here is a sequence of posts I don't get.

Keane asks for your role name.

Keane then asks for clarification on whether "Blaster lunchingbomb" is role then flavor or flavor then role :siren:based on a comment DB made:siren:

Keane asks for role name, flavor name, and what your flavor power is.


So... wait. Asking you for your role name was "drat fine". Then, DB pointed out something weird about what you said, so Keane asked for a clarification. Somehow, Keane asking for that clarification caught DB off guard. And then Keane trying to clarify what you were saying (including just repeating that "drat fine" question) is too absurd? How does it go from a great question to an absurd one? I think DB caught his contradiction because he tries to play it off jokingly in a post two minutes later, quoting himself and saying

chaoslord posted:

So, to be clear, you think this sequence is not logical for Keane to pursue?





Because this is where you come in and start throwing shade at Keane's questioning, despite being around earlier.

He is pushing hard away from it and trying to discredit the DB case.

Hmmm, I could see stick on the scumteam with MMT for the reasons I said yesterday, but MMT is pretty much in the clear, having killed a scum.
Also, Keane was the town read I had yesterday I didn't want to share.
Is this scum team hiding in the lurkers?

Max
Nov 30, 2002

MMT is definitely not on the scum team since it's clear that her kill is separate from the other kill.

I can see Quid or Hats being one of the other scum, but I feel like there isn't enough there to take that gamble at the moment.

Max

Stick's around long enough to make a token defense but not to do any reads based on CLord's flip, interesting.

It's almost like I didn't want to make a "scum defending scum" read about an unflipped player but then stickup reminded me that you could be making a "scum defending town" read for cred, which still seems pretty likely to me.

I agree with the CL reads though. Keane hasn't really pinged me otherwise so I wouldn't vote him just for that, though I may need to reread him, but I agree with the stickup read. I was feeling better about stickup and his play but I was really confident about my rarity read and this lines up with that.
