MMT you are harping on something that has absolutely no merit to my case whatsoever. I've already said that I haven't really reviewed all the N0 setup spec stuff and have been looking more at what people are saying about it / each other because I think that's more useful. You are picking some Hats quotes that are before the delineation I posted of my suspicion, which again, timeline wise goes like this

-[everything about N0 that I guess Hats was involved in and which I haven't read at all]
-People start earnestly casing people based on the N0 speculation
-Hats makes a statement about the current cases which I saw as being very hedgey
-I call Hats out on this
-Hats and other people make more statements
-I ask Hats if he is new scum to gauge his reaction
-Other people say Hats is not new, Hats says he is more often awkward as town than scum
-Other poo poo has also happened at this point so I have at this point cooled on Hats because I actually buy what he's saying and there's also new, more engaging discussion. I say as much.

So no, the posts I've already said multiple times I haven't read and which didn't influence my decision...didn't influence my decision? Like maybe we're just not on the same semantic page here but I cannot think of any reason you keep saying it's suspicious I am not talking about an interaction point that I didn't consider at all when looking at the poo poo that was happening more live in front of me. Yeah maybe I should go back and read it but I've cooled on Hats and already said why, why am I going to go back on D1 and look for a smoking gun on someone I'm not feeling is guilty now?

That is ridiculous. I have said multiple times I was suspicious of Mac because he acknowledged his clear annoyance only when it was convenient to bolster his argument, when it weakened his position he pretended it wasn't happening.

I found myself agreeing with most of what Murmur Twin had to say about Lord of Hats and disagreeing with Bif and Bird suggesting she's running interference for him. I do think Lord of Hats is scummy for focusing on a flavor flip that would be fairly easy for scum to talk about but I don't get the impression there was some huge agenda behind that discussion or that Hats was trying to mislead/distract with that conversation. Likewise I don't see Murmur Twin as stepping in to shield Hats, it's not like he's some overwhelming suspicion target.

Little Mac did the following:

-INSISTED he wasn't annoyed
-Turned around and said "of course I was annoyed" when it helped his argument

That's a contradiction. It doesn't matter what it was, it shows he's flip flopping to attempt to make the narrative show him in a better light.

He could have easily have done the following

-INSISTED that tomatoes aren't fruit
-Turned around and said "of course tomatoes are a fruit" when it helped his argument

Yes, feeling tomatoes are or aren't fruits doesn't mean you are scum, but that's not what I'm talking about here.

In that case your posts are very unclear about what exactly you're arguing about the alignments of the people you've mentioned. Maybe it's the lack of context, but are you calling Hats Scum or Town or just being hedgy as gently caress? Going back to "agreeing with MMR" and "disagreeing with Bif and Bird" please parse that into explicit alignment reads for me, if you contend your post was Scumhunting-related.

This was my original point about LM's behavior:

Quidthulhu posted:

##vote Little Mac

If I made three sarcastic posts in a row about something I genuinely was annoyed at, as Little Mac has said, my response to being called out about that with a "the lady doth protest too much" would immediately be "yeah I've already told you I'm annoyed as hell by this hence my rapid fire posting about it," not "lol you think I'm mad??? Not at all" followed by random insults and THEN a statement of "yeah I'm annoyed because x so sue me"

And it was based on my read of the following:

Little Mac posted:

Like lol if you think any of you are confirmed town or some bullshit. I'm not jumping on some dumb train. I will say, however, being "Vengeance-aligned" should have (TOWN) right next to it.

This is clearly an annoyed post and Bif comments on LMac's behavior:

Bifauxnen posted:

it's not that knowing the flavor makes you confirmed town, LMac. It's how you observe people trying to use it, trying to suss things out. For example, you just dropping it in a big steaming pile here to make everything obvious for everyone now seems to be a scummy use of it.

Which sends him in to the rapid fire "annoyance" I was talking about, three posts in a row:

Little Mac posted:

"make everything obvious"

Like it was a secret or something? lol

Little Mac posted:

drat scum little mac you gave away the game that we're town by saying the name of the town alignment WHAT A SCUM IDIOT

Like, what are you even talking about?

Little Mac posted:

I would presume that a large portion of the game is Vengeance-aligned and knew what you guys were talking about. I would also presume that scum knew as well. Like, all of this discussion seems specious at best. The alignment is confusing but I don't see it as a way to confirm or not confirm anyone who has talked about it thus far.

Bif votes, commenting on his anger:

Bifauxnen posted:

I think a more townie reaction in this situation would have been thoughtful concern over reading people as town too easily for simply knowing flavor. Not this angry "lol so you guys think you're all confirmed town now?! Well NO MORE TOWNIE FEELS FOR YOU NOW, I'M GONNA TAKE MY BALL AND GO HOME"

##vote Little Mac

LM says "I'm not angry man"

Little Mac posted:

I think the fact that you're believing each other to be cleared could very easily bite us in the rear end late in the game. You're reading anger when there is none. I just think your "strategy" is pretty loving dumb. I'm vanilla so killing me won't hurt the town much, though.

Reinforces it here:

Little Mac posted:

lol "went off"

You're very bad at reading tone.

And FINALLY we get the real reason he's actually mad:

Little Mac posted:

I claimed vanilla lol

I may or may not have a Shine power. It's well known that I hate being vanilla.

So maybe I was reaching there but on my initial read of it happening in almost real time I read this as "Of course I'm annoyed in this game, I'm Vanilla"

This is an exceptionally bad analogy. Emotional states are a far cry from fruit classifications. Also unlike tomatoes, emotional states tend to fluctuate.
