Am I misusing the word? It might have a different connotations in other circles. I'm using the word new because I have played Mafia with goons a grand total of one other time.

Anyway if you want me to actually loving defend myself I have no clue why Genex actually Legitimately voted me when I hadnt even shown up to thread yet. That reads way more scummy to me, personally, but I didnt want to countervote because I'd just probably expedite my own lynching.

But yeah Gene voted me in the middle of jokephase before I'd even spoken up and I wasnt gonna say anything about it until I was sure jokephase was over. I didnt consider it immediately shady if I'm being honest.

Bus the new guy who rolled over and offered to claim as soon as he had one (1) vote on him

This is a misrepresentation. He said:

Monathin posted:

But also: I'm not scum, just bad! Of that I can claim.

Which on first glance I read as “that’s weird to offer to claim” and then said “oh wait no that’s not actually what he meant.”

Did you misread, YPM, or were you hoping to sneak in some suspicion amidst your jokephase yelling :raise:

I dunno if Gene is scum but first to vote + obviously targetting the odd duck out reads to me as something that could fly under the radar easily while theoretically scoring an easy D1 mislynch.

I misread it, but I also definitely was trying to raise suspicion on him and really didn’t try to read it carefully

It reads to me as an awkward entrance by scum who is voting for someone that they can safely switch off of.

I would agree, but I wasnt gonna act on first hunch during jokephase, not to mention voting Gene in retaliation would just make me more suspicious until someone else voted me.

I'm not yet immediately suspicious of anyone except Gene but I will admit that's hard immediate bias due to his vote on me, which I am happy to give him a chance to defend.

I'm not new, I just kept forgetting that this sub-subforum existed

Voting for people is good even if you don't want them lynched right now, so while I could read the multiple cases of "I think Gene's suspicious but I won't vote for him" as a kind of weak statement of position to set up something in the future, I'll instead chalk it up to cultural differences

also 3 people did it and this is an open setup with 2 scum, so

Yeah, that is a very odd phrase.

I don't know why scum would be so blatant about it though. I'm assuming he meant something other than "I was trying to make a fake case but wasn't paying attention."

So YPM what did you mean by that?

I didn’t say I wanted to make him look suspicious. I said that I want to put suspicion on him because, get this, it’s loving day 1 and I don’t know who is scum so I gotta yell a bit about nothing until something happens. You know this. What do you think about Gene?

I haven’t read Gene yet and I’ve only tangentially looked over that discussion. His explanation seemed reasonable and didn’t scream immediate scum or anything. I’ma eat lunch and then look at that.

I wasn’t trying to make a case (meaning, trying to convince others to lynch him). I was trying to put pressure on him to see how he responded.

He was the one who brought it up first, and following up with an unrelated football reference when anyone at a passing glance of the thread could tell it's about baseball makes it read like a flimsy excuse to me.
