So yeah, seems pretty weak to take that one post commenting on already dead scum as this big risk that helps prove Tired's towniness, when you weigh it up against everything else Tired's posted.

i never once gave any indication that i had deciphered this post, or that I agreed with it, or that I had even thought about it as far as i can remember. I just said his posting was better because he had posted a couple things I agreed with. You went from asking me why I agreed with TM to saying that I look worse to TM to saying that actually TM is getting tunneled and anidav is the one who's reading too much into things. I am genuinely baffled by the line you are attempting to ride here, Podima. You were pretty townie in my head but I just cannot believe how, on catching up with the posts since yesterday, your takes have gone back and forth like pinball.

I've still been thinking about this a lot. I think Pod is my top scumpick. This series of reads just hurts my brain to think about. ##vote pod

Yeah, Tired was allegedly looking through Fisk's posts after he died, to look for clues. Actually, the "Podima sure looks town" part looks way more significant to me. It could possibly be a genuine judgement of Fisk's posts, and would be more risky if Pod was Tired's scumbro.

I do have a larger sliver of doubt about Tired compared to MMG, so I'm keeping my vote on MMG.

Actually, even though this vote won't count, I'll make it here on this account just to ease MMG's mind about the magical scum role that poisons everyone who votes for them :v:

My eyes glazed over while catching up on a lot of the bif/MMG/TM stuff. bif, you read to me as having blinders on. I just don't see the same damning case on MMG that you do. Reading MMG's posts in response to you has been exactly like reading pmom's responses to being cased when he's town, and I just don't see the case. I was surprised and kind of taken aback as well when I learned you were revolver anidav, and I can totally see being suspicious of it.

As for TM, I don't like his posts today. I've gone back and forth on him, but I didn't like his sudden, confident characterization of both bif and MMG as having a scum slapfight distraction. He doesn't really have any evidence for why he thinks your case is ingenuine, he just calls it "inane" and moves on. I've felt conflicted about TM all game but I would vote for him.

I don't see why you looking elsewhere today means you don't have blinders specifically with regard to MMG. When I say blinders I don't mean you're just tunneling him instead of other, more deserving individuals. I'm just saying you seem 100% convinced and confident on a case I don't buy. I don't feel particularly good about MMG, you're right he hasn't done much else, but I feel far worse about Pod and TM atm.

Basically, I didn't feel particularly bad about MMG before you cased him, and your gatcha about him complaining about your alt is something I agreed with him on.

Now see, I can see people just being a bit confused by what the hell the alt account is about. But MMG took it to ridiculous levels. Like oh no, what if I don't vote for somebody on both accounts?? Will people actually be confused about my cases? Will my opinions seriously not get through? Does he honestly believe there's some weird rear end poison role or something that only works on people who voted a certain way, and I can escape it by voting only on one of them? Does he believe that I signed up with the alt account and even cracked jokes about how "Bird said I couldn't sign up" before the game even started with the intention of scummily setting things up to fool the town?

Also, I really hate how B-, SEE, and Sal all showed up with not one loving word about MMG or Tired at all.
It doesnt rate too high on my scum meter right now with MMG and Tired throwing off the curve, but it certainly is annoying.
SC where the hell are ya mate

Honestly, I skimmed over the tm/mmg/bif spat yesterday. The whole thing seemed to be escalated when bif kicked it into high gear and went after tm and mmg. bif was the only one attempting to put together legitimate cases, and TM and mmg were incredibly defensive. There were two things that I do not like about mmg’s activity: 1) as soon as bif made a case for scum mmg, mmg immediately voted bif in retaliation, and 2) mmg has been incredibly silent today, possibly in an attempt to shift the focus away from them. Actually, TM has disappeared too. On one hand, I don’t blame TM or mmg for being so defensive, especially when Bif literally said that she was trying to get a rise out of them:

Bifauxnen posted:

This is why I prod people so much, they can't help arguing back either. Tired was seriously 4th on my list and low priority but now he's so obvious scum, glad I could help. Sorry for the mess though.
It is suspicious that they both dropped back under the radar.

Bifauxnen posted:

Thanks, bud.

Sal, I got a bit more to ask you: why did you wait till N3 to use your cop ability? Why did you not want to use it on either N1 or N2, and what made you decide to finally use it N3 after waiting that long? Then why did you choose flerp?

Also, did you have any visitors on the earlier nights?
I don’t find waiting until n3 to use a one shot cop ability as egregious as sal’s walking back of his vt claim. Because now he says he has another ability, and that he was visited by two players last night. Overall my gut read is that it is bad town play more than anything.

Also, I think this post got overlooked today:

You claim to think we're both scum, but you vote for the one with way more content to analyse. (also the one who happens to really be town)

Next up: watch Pod suddenly have doubts about his earlier read on me playing my classic towngame, just as I start playing it 10 times harder than I was when he said that.

nah I'm still comfortable that you're town even if you're wrong about me.

For Tired Moritz, my willingness to cut him slack as the guy who always gets piled on is waning. He's become increasingly defensive and his vote based on your claimed role/usage of it last night makes zero sense from a town perspective. Also:

Tired Moritz posted:

This is my hierachy of possibilities

1) MMG and Bif are both scum
2) Bif is scum and basically baiting MMG to argue with them so they can push a lynch on them
3)MMG is scum and Bif is right all along!!!

Honestly, the more that Bif posts, the more number 2 seems like a possibility.

Where's the "they're both town" option here? :thunk:

For MMG, there are two reasons I haven't dropped a vote on him today outside of his atrocious casing.
The first is that he's demonstrably lost his vote, and unless we have someone who wants to openly claim a vote-stealing ability as a townie I think that actually speaks strongly in his favor.
The second is that he opened a masonry with me N1, and the chitchat in there has been fairly decent since. (I HAVE been prodding him to make reads that aren't the dumb meta/alt-posting case on you. :shobon:) He and I have flavorclaimed to each other (The Discord channel setup supports his flavor via codec frequency # and image), and he's fullclaimed his role. The masonry portion of his role DOES work differently than flerp's claim, which gave and still gives me pause - especially with flerp ostensibly being copped as town, since two town masonry-creators is a bit odd. It also bothers me that he had to keep checking his PM for details when I pressed him to make a clear claim about his role (after making sure he was around to see if he could answer quickly). I've gone back and forth on it multiple times over the intervening game days, but I wouldn't vote him today unless someone claimed as a town vote stealer.

Next up later tonight is rereading BK and b-, per your request for casing of people on your list!

Oh is THAT all? That was me.

Like many flipped people, I have more than one ability. Babysitter is one of em and I did intend to babysit MMG, but during the night I was feeling so loving sure he was scum, I figured scum wouldn't want to kill me. Or worse, they might redirect me.

I changed my mind and used the vote-stealing power on him instead. That way if it did get redirected, I'd probably find out real soon once someone complained about it. and I could then presume that person was town.

The power btw, is called Jack the Ripper. I am the prettiest pretty-boy protagonist.

Hey you know what a townie does when they get defensive? They go all out explaining their genuine thought process, or get genuinely annoyed at you for getting something wrong about them. Not spewing crap about magic poison votes or how ~only scum would make the game harder~ while totally ignoring any and all points to the contrary. (Such as: me signing up with the alt account on purpose before the game started and before I had any alignment, and the history he should know with me and Birb and Gaspy being very super excited about this flavor)
