Because I was trying to move the game forward. Some part of that was hyperbole, but it was frustrating to feel like I had caught a thread and then realize that it was all goofs and spoofs.

That's the point, there's nothing else going on. Your goofy case is the most serious investment of effort so far. Is the idea here that I'm faking that reaction? That seems awfully familiar of you.

In a vacuum I would believe the sentiment, but Somber would have seen Bif and KB play together in some more recent games and I think someone who has been in those games with them would understand the stuff about spreadsheets. I think Somber was trying to move the game forward, but I don't think the content was genuine.

et voila ##vote Somber

This is so wrong it's laughable. I... how in the world did you even get that from us who voted RF?

You're accusing a guy of being scum for posting "We should lynch someone" on D1 in a game of Mafia.

The only reasoning is, "He didn't provide an alternative."

I mean perhaps your man noticed there were no giant lynch targets but hasn't had time to case someone. I've seen a post like that numerous times in basically every game of mafia I've ever played.

It's a nothing statement that neither indicates scum or town.

Hm, thats sounding better, what about Kasu and Birb though, YT?

Kasu's all over the place and is jumping on basically anyone that posts anything vaguely controversial.

To me that screams confused town player or potentially scum trying to get something going, but not enough that I'd vote.

Your man posts nothing all day and jumps on one of the only two people with more than one vote based on a tell that's reaching at best around an argument that should have been dead and buried forty posts ago. The icing is that it's based on the idea that Somber would associate Bif and KB with spreadsheets and know the joke when almost every game the man's run has me in it posting gigantic spreadsheets that track votes and everything people say.

It's honestly a really bad case and I think that Birb can do a lot better. It feels to me more scum than it does town because I think town Birb would be more active and wouldn't jump to a case like that.

"He didn't provide an alternative" is a hugely different reason than "SCUM, HE WANTS TO LYNCH TOWN PEOPLE." I'm glad you have figured out the actual reason for the RF case.

I disagree with the rest of your post, though. RF's post was a bad one.

Don't worry I also have an esoteric and somewhat arbitrary case on RF because of this post:

Retro Futurist posted:

Deadline's tomorrow so we really ought to kill someone. Bif and Somber are the only ones in my head right now but neither really looks bad there.

RF didn't mention Bif before and it's very odd that he would take this position given that Bif and Somber seemed to be on opposite sides of the argument.

I would feel justified voting on this but it seems less weird compared to previous games than Somber, and well poo poo I can't vote for both.

Also the stuff about being hyper aggressive and calling names!

YT, I don't wish to disparage your spreadsheet game but I believe I am a bit more well known for it, to the point where KB and others will often call out for a screenshot from me midgame.

Birb I think we are getting on the same page here, and you're making me wonder if I should stick to Somber after all. But I'm getting more nervous about a possible YT/Kasu team here so I'd put Somber as lower priority rn. Why didnt YT think to mention you and Kasu casing each other till I brought it up? It was the other main bit of content in between the KB thing and RF.

The other thing that makes me nervous is Somber also had a vote from Kasu on him before. The votes creeping back onto Somber after I'd moved mine felt like scum being too nervous to obviously pick up the bandwagon when it was just me voting, but then trying to get it restarted when it looked in danger of fizzling out.

Of course, Somber could still be scum after all, some of his posts still big me but for now I think Somber has a higher chance of his content turning out to be genuine. It's a bit meatier than Kasu's and definitely better than YT's.

I don't feel like a scum kasu would have backed off me that easily once I pointed out the flawed logic. Although his points seem to be a bit all over the place, I'm leaning town there for now. I don't think I've ever played with him before though, so no meta to lean on or anything.

I'm not sure on YT. Willing to vote I guess, but I prefer Somber, RF and Keane as vote targets at the moment.

Although I'll admit to waffling a bit at this point and thinking maybe do one of the other two today since at least Somber is posting and posting content. This is my lurker bias bleeding through though.

I get that you're defensive because I voted for you, but man, context is critical here. Look when I voted for you, and what I said. It was early this morning , long before any legitimate discussion had taken place. My vote was an attempt to start it, and I think it worked. There's been pages of discussion since, which is a good thing. And When I called out a few people for lack of posts, it was a few hours ago, after jokephase ended. Maybe you disagree with me, but it seems like a pretty big difference to me.

Ah, I assumed that was about the other question, since gut is normally reserved for scum calls.

So to confirm, you are saying your gut makes you think my reaction is weird?

I'm tired of going back and forth with somber, as it is accomplishing nothing. He's either trying to figure out how i nailed him as scum and desperately trying to avoid a wagon, or he's a town player just trying to survive while at the same time avoid being lynched on d1. either way, maybe he's not the best target for today.
