There's no other reply to a post like that beyond once again debating just where Little Mac fell on the scale of placid---------upset when that exchange started. It's a waste of time.

I don't think Mac was frothing mad when Bif voted him and even if he was I don't think only a scum Mac would down play it. The whole narrative about how upset he was is BS in the first place.

If you've read it wrong then by definition you wouldn't be scum.

But my impression is that you were capitalizing on Little Mac's reaction to an already bad suspicion point, and extending the original bad suspicion in the process.

How did I do this? The argument you have posited is predicated around me willfully misrepresenting what Mac was doing, which you have admitted like three times now was actually me making an assumption about human behavior that is not definite for everyone.

Like in looking back on my case on LM I'm not convinced I correctly read his "I hate being vanilla" statement as "Clearly I'm pissed because I hate being vanilla," which was the hingepin of my point. If he never actually admitted to being pissed off my case falls apart.

But that's not what you're going after. You're just...repeating something that isn't the case while contradicting yourself? I don't even know any more.

I am also curious seeing as in our last game, as scum together, I was often holding back to wait for people to post without me having to scummily guide them. And also I made up some crazy total distraction poo poo about him being in an anonymous masonry with someone impersonating me. So, you know, the usual

Can we really not use previous games? Can we also especially not use unusual games where everyone was scum and so nobody was acting earnestly the entire time?

It's so pointless.

Someone show me the most opportunistic bullshit disingenuous shade thrown so far.

Sure! I'm going to provide as much context as possible and I encourage people to speak up if they disagree with anything I'm saying here. I'm trying to keep this short and sweet and relevant as possible.

The game opens up with Hats speculating about the N0 kill. Bif cases him, with one of her points against him being that it was scummy for him to immediately speculate about there being an SK or second scumteam. At that point, I agreed with her.

Later on, she explains about her exact thought process when the game started:

Bifauxnen posted:

I noticed that later and thought that might have been what you meant, but it does still seem like a stretch to me, especially since you mentioned other scum factions:

like my first reaction was "if vengeance is a whole alignment and everyone has their own separate reason to want to kill off this drat family, well no wonder Ecco's multi-dead"

When I was thinking about this more last night, I felt like Bif was faking out a thought process. Like I didn't think about the n0 kill at all, but the way she explained it sounded more to me like she specifically thought that Vengeance-Aligned did it. Part of her point about Hats is that it was scummy for him to consider a second scum faction or SK.

And, to gather information, I make the following post.

Murmur Twin posted:

Ecco was NK'ed - your first thought was that Vengeance did it?

(a) Are you Vengeance-aligned?
(b) Do you have the ability to NK people?
(c) Are you aware that Shine 1 and Shine 3 both had multiple scum factions?

The point I was making is that it doesn't make sense to just jump to the conclusion that the town faction (with no NK) would the the ones responsible for the N0 kill. For reference, I'm not saying that town definitely didn't do it - I have no idea.

Part of the reason I asked the first two questions was to see how Bif answered them. The town answer to the first two questions should always just be "Yes, No" without much thought behind it - it's not a hard question to answer at all if you're town. In my opinion my intent was obvious, but..

Here is how Bif responded:

Bifauxnen posted:

what

---

I think she might have switched the order of the questions though and is actually wanting me to answer if I have an NK power? And maybe she thinks that's somehow relevant to whether town could flip a scum in the n0 plot event??

---

MT asked me if I had a killing role. I didn't answer this and called it suss because it was rolefishing. She directly asked me, about my role. Thus rolefishing.

Like how could anyone possibly read my posts and believe that I asked those questions because I was scum who was literally trying to figure out if she has a certain role? By asking her directly, no less?

I am not trying to throw shade on you, I am continuing to point out that you are nitpicking and asking questions that don't jive with...anything that's important? I would have thought you would have dismissed this whole thing as "ok so clearly we misunderstood each other" but the fact that you're continuing to push this narrative of my faking content here when I've clearly laid out for you my thought process three times....I think it's you who's faking content, MMT.

##vote MMT

Here's another example of what I'm talking about. Quid makes an assumption about what a town Murmur Twin would do (drop suspicion against him, apparently), and because Murmur Twin isn't doing it she must be scum. Another misunderstanding of human nature? I think it is just plain a scummy vote.

I mean it's totes cool if you really do think I'm scum but as far as I can see my crimes are hating day 1 and participating/posting with little-to-no value (as is, imo, everyone else) and not buckling under lukewarm pressure. like maybe i am wrong even, maybe i misread something as jeabus insists (tho i doubt it), but as folks reiterated like eight times, wrong != scum

but on day 1 what's anybody gonna do

Exactly.

This is the game Somber and Bif are talking about.

I think some other people mentioned it as well.

It was all independent scum teams who thought they were the only scum team. It was a fun and silly game, but when nobody was acting or responding to anyone who was town, it's pretty ridiculous to use anything anyone did in that game.

I don't really see the Hats-involved case of gif probst. He has been a bit hedgy on votes and not really doing anything but responding to the hats thing for the most part recently, but I feel his KB thing and his interactions with MMT are genuine. Wouldn't vote rn.

I'm ok with Hats, TMM, and Pera in that order probably.
