She's a maniac, maniac

And she's dancing like she's never danced before
in a 19 person game, how many scum can we expect there to be? does the town win with a pod lynch or does he have another scumbro?

inf - scum traitor
fisk - scum
mmg - scum
pod - scum
a few 3ps, rest town?
i think so

If you're serious about siding with town against your claimed win condition, great. But why do you believe I'm scum for having the exact same reading of MMG's flip as others?

I'm not certain this is a productive conversation to have. I explained in great detail my rationale for wanting to lynch you as a claimed 3P today, and my case on BK. What's your issue with that case on BK?

also - I didn't rush anything. People said when they were/weren't available, and flerp suggested we do it now. Please chill out and reread. In any event, if Nevergirls won't be here for the rest of the night we have a bigger problem.

ok, you're right. sorry i thought i had lost the game, so i avoided the thread for a while. when I checked a few minutes ago and saw that i was still alive i got excited haha. i will go back and reread the last few pages. it really does seem like you want me dead no matter what though

also - if a person is hated, is that typically announced in the game thread at the start of the day? i'm not sure i've played in a game with it, or if i have I don't remember how it works.

I mean, yes, I want you dead because it is by far the safest option for town as laid out. I'm pretty drat confident in my case on BK though, and nevergirls mentioned being OK with reversing the order (e.g. lynch BK, vig you if necessary) which would have more of a chance of giving you the win if BK is the last scum standing. It IS risky though in case something goes wrong with the vig plan.

I'm open to discussion, but if there is another game day you being still alive would be a huge danger to town since you can win with scum.

Re: hated, it's up to the mod - some mods use anonymous votes on votefinder, and other mods track it manually so as to not make it publicly obvious. I didn't see it but someone mentioned earlier in thread that there were temporarily anon votes up on votefinder at the start of a day - that may be what was going on before Birdstrike changed his mind.

In that case the game would continue, b- would presumably attempt to kill tonight and get vigged by NGO, and that would be that. In the worst case scenario where b- is a SK and gets a kill off tonight and NGO doesn't vig him it's still b- versus 3 townies tomorrow.

i just finished reading the last few pages, and admit that actually you made a good case wrt bk. he has sort of managed to stay under the radar for most of the game, and has been notably absent today. also, look at this post:

BottleKnight posted:

I'm Johnny freakin Sasaki. I have the power of indigestion which I used on N1 & N3 which meant I spent my nights in a toilet which made actions on me unsuccessful, and anyone targeting me got told I'm sick. I also have a chaff grenade ability, which I used N2 to "block the electronics" of Anidav and TM, which were my top two scumpicks at the time.

wtf is up with that first ability? anyone who targets you gets told you're sick, and.... then what? is that it? what does that add to the game?


But here's what I don't understand: podima feels "pretty drat confident" that bk is scum, but still wants to kill me, a 3p without ANY killing ability instead. something just seems off.

I know it's dang long but I put a lot of thought into the options available! At the end of the day even though you claim to not have any killing abilities and that you want to win with town, the fact remains that you could win with scum per your wincon. It's a risk if the game continues to tomorrow, like I laid out.

P.S. If SEE and NGO are cool with it, I'm fine with leaving b- to NGO's tender mercies tonight if needed.

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.

So was I defending MMG or lightly bussing him? What the gently caress?

Podima posted:

Last but not least, he is advocating for not lynching the 3P while ignoring my detailed post explaining why that is incredibly likely to lose us the game.

I want to lynch who I think is scum in order to fulfill my wincon. Somehow you think that's an invalid response, because all of your posts are fake posturing. This case is a hitjob, wow.

Why do people agree with this case? Pod has been going back and forth willy nilly this entire game, in an attempt to drive people. Does anyone in this game have actual scumreads? Agreeing to lynch the 3P survivor because of pod's spreadsheet seems lovely when scum is right in front of us.

I think "I don't see the case" and "yeah, he hasn't done much" are completely consistent though? Like, all the reasons people were saying he was scum didn't add up to me. I didn't have a town read on him or anything, but I had other fish to fry, as it were. So I literally didn't swap my opinion and you're grasping.

Oh wowee me and a scum said something similar!! what a gacha!!

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.

This quote still rings true, and I can defend my logic this entire game whereas Pod repeatedly can't. He's wishy washy, he's been conveniently wrong about nearly everything this game, and now he expects to logic us into letting him live, probably so he can try to win the game. Don't let him do this drive-by on me when he is clearly scum!!

The one example you used was wrong. So yes I have been wrong about things, but I can defend my logic, whereas you have flipped back and forth and never deigned to give us any reasoning.

I don't want to try hard to keep the 3P alive. I just believe the claim and want to get rid of the scum. You didn't have a problem with flerp or SEE when they expressed the same idea a few posts ago. You were just fine with it because they would be lynching me and not you.

Gah this is so frustrating, it's like you're not reading my posts. This must be what it's like to be a tryhard poster.

Correct, because I was not sold on the counterclaim and there were still a lot of people left in the game. I feel like it was a wise decision, too, since it would be helpful to chaff tonight.
