mmmm people who overreact are scum? idk but Jam had also been on a losing streak so maybe I'm just more likely to overlooked their behavior.

This case is pretty meh for me.

i mean, yeah.

scum have to lie if they want to stay active. hyperbole is the softest kind of lie. having an exaggerated reaction to a small amount of suspicion is inherently scummy.

consider it from this angle. i said that, in my first scum game, i did the random roll to determine who to vote, and I voted my scum bud. So, I initially pointed a finger at Hog, but said that Jam was probably his scum bud.

Since I was casing Hog, the only reason for Jam to intervene there is if I was right. Hog was my focal point here. If Hog flipped scum then I'd come after him next. Otherwise, why start an argument? If Hog flipped town I'd say 'ah gently caress oops' and move on, I wouldn't go back to Jam.

After a few hours sleep, I'm starting to come around on Somber's case.

Response to a jokevote, pretty standard.

Namecalling? Really lovely namecalling at that? At someone who named three people as scummy, and hadn't even voted on him?

The more I contextualize his first few post, and the more I read his responses, the worse he starts to look. I'll go into more detail if anyone wants, but let's be real, nobody reads long posts. I'd almost say Jam looks like a defensive newbie town, but he is definitely not a newbie. This is probably as good of a D1 case as we're going to get.

On a mostly unrelated note: Hi, Jam. I don't know if we've ever played a game together before. What are your pronouns? Actually, what are everyone's pronouns? There's a few of you I haven't played with, and I'm sure someone isn't certain about at least one of us. I use she/her! (but I have a dick and make a lot of shitposts about it)

The only person I feel at all comfortable voting for right now is Jamuraan, but that's only like a 30% maybe not even that.

Somberbrero's at maybe 5% just for being so eager which doesn't mean much but there's not much else to go on d1

Also sus is peramene's line calling Cpig a liar which seemed to come out of nowhere

Other than that, maybe a lurker?

Jam's a goddamn lunatic is FFV was anything to go by.

That said him being rude and throwing out slurs is consistent with his town behaviour in that game.

In the recent temple game town Jam was pretty much over-reacting to everything and throwing a fit the whole game which seems pretty much like what is happening here.

The reason I am ok voting Somber right now is that I feel like I have seen exactly this sort of aggressive play from him as scum before where he just came in and tried to control the narrative from the start (which by the way is a cool way to play scum) so I am just going on that for now.

I think Nazgul/Betrayer's pop in to vote me and pop out is also pretty suspicious but I just got through saying I missed playing with him in the discussion thread so my heart isn't in going after him D1

based on sombre's case, they must also believe that Hog is also scum, right?

no, definitely not necessarily; i am basing my opinion almost solely on his reaction to somber's posting. I don't read anything into Hog's alignment because of that, i'd rather read his reaction in a vacuum at this point in the game

Question: From a metagame point of view, is that really a behavior that you want to reward? Is the doubt that he's not scum worth encouraging this in the future when he wants to look town?

To put it another way: "It's okay that he's being a lovely person because he's always a lovely person" may be technically accurate, but in a situation like this where there's some doubt, I'm going to err on the side of "stop being lovely".

i agree with your premise on the meta level, but it needs to be pointed out that it's purely meta; voting jam on this basis, in the "single mafia game" sense, is in no way alignment indicative

this is obvious, but i'd like to point it out now

Somber's a cool guy, but "he called Somber autistic" implies that I was offended for Somber's sake, in a "he did something mean to someone I like" way. Nah, using autistic as an insult is lovely in any context.

Not liking this train of thought much. It's using a non-game (or at best "future meta") argument to justify a push. You don't vote someone just because they're Town-aligned Shithead or because you don't like them personally.

I also think he's being defensive and scummy, I'm just saying that "he's always a lovely person" is not a defense, either for being either lovely, or scummy.
