ASHERAH DEMANDS I FEAST, I VOTE FOR A FEAST OF FLESH
That is pretty damning on Quid :commissar:

I'm going to hold off on changing my vote for now, but am happy to change to Quid. Let's see where it goes from here.

Truth Quark posted:

I am actually trying to give you the benefit of the doubt now if you actually are new, because I made hedgy comments all the time when I was new to this game (and still am new compared to a lot of the players in this game), but I still would like the original question I posed answered. It was in response to this post:


This post made it seem to me like you had actual experience in mafia, and more importantly were using it to justify your opinion on PMush. If you've never played mafia before, why make a post like this?

That all seems blatantly obvious to me? None of it requires any specific mafia knowledge to come to the conclusion, though I did read a bunch of the SA mafia wiki before the game actually started to make sure I knew what was going on. Points 1 and 2 are talking about how she is posting, i.e. that interruptions and forgetfulness happen all the time, especially when you are phone posting during a very busy time of year (the holidays).

Point three doesn't require any deep strategy either:
1. Tobbs had caused a lightning rod over saying what he could do
---Take away: Revealing your ability makes people think you are scum- a bad thing for scum to do
2. She revealed her role in his defense anyways
---Take away: Scum would never have done this because of how much fire Tobbs drew. It was going to get her executed for doing what Tobbs did, but even more because her ability actually does things. It just hurts scum by getting her killed by votes, which it did
---Second: if we assume she is town, then her ability would be key on the battlefield. That makes her a nightkill target for scum and a battlefield target for enemy soldiers. It would end up getting her killed this way, too. But doing this in error made way more sense than doing so with Bif et al talking to her and saying not to.

Thus, bad town play made sense but scum play did not.

I'm not sure how my thought process here was hard to follow at all or relied upon deep mafia knowledge?


Unless you actually meant this post?

Truth Quark posted:

Do you have any reason for thinking PMush is town other than your analysis of why outing abilities is actually pro-town? Because people have explained why that isn't the case in detail (with multiple explanation), so that argument is pretty played out at this point.

Specifically I want to know what you think of a) people pointing out the timing of her post after KB specifically asked us not to share ability info and b) her frequent excuses for her absence from the thread.

Because it seems the above post by me addresses all of that except "why outing abilities is pro-town." I didn't make that particular claim. I said multiple times that it was a stupid move on Tobbs and PMush's part. I did claim, however, that eventually we would need to know what everyone could do so we could work better on the battlefield as a team, and see where the difference between posted abilities and actual results lay.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

rereading my other scum pick from yesterday:

OMGVBFLOL posted:

Gamerofthegame: i didn't have a read either way on them until this post, now leaning scum:

Gamerofthegame posted:

slaan exists? slaan was a joke vote if you missed it. He joined Kash on the "don't loving claim idiot" wagon, so I am a bit pro-town.

im casing you because of your dumb call outs on kash over dumb stuff to the point of tunnel vision, while dancing around Tobbs to the effect of only mentioning him as a case against kashuno. which fits into my incredible and accurate prediction of if tobbs is scum then the scum team is the people explicitly not posting about his weird posts

vote tobbs and he flips scum, we vote you

punk.


This is weirdly aggresive and stinks to high heaven. "If [person] flips scum, then we..." You know something we don't about Tobbs' flip?

This post of gamer's still seems scummy to me. Chaining if-thens is never a good look, but it isn't damning. However, after re-reading the rest of Gamer, it's mitigated that feeling, however. Pretty much everything they've been saying today makes sense.

Rereading gamer did bring me to this exchange, however:

Gamerofthegame posted:

Flying Leatherman posted:

This is too much inconsistency for me and I'm comfortable ##vote SalTheBard today.

I entirely agree. He's been playing the lurker card hard and as you suggest, he's getting his wires crossed.

Almost as if he's getting mixed up in what's said in some gdoc somewhere . . .

I still have a bad vibe on Slaan, but I think I'll shift to Sal for today. ##vote SalTheBard

and following that rabbit hole led me to this post:

Slaan posted:

I'm definitely feeling the Gamer scum read other have been making, and I voted for him early on D1, so I'm going to go ahead and ##vote Gamer. I'm a bit more iffy on him today because I can see some decent points that he is making, but overall it just feels wrong. So far, my reads have been gut level "does this feel natural" or not. Gamer doesn't pass that for me.

Obviously, trying to get me offed doesn't help either. I'm really not sure what he has against me. It feels like he is tossing anything against me he can and hoping something sticks.

Which really ingenuine in light of Gamer's activity so far today. It feels like Slaan's trying to mitigate the effect Gamer's effort will have on others' opinion of Gamer. Maybe it's just Slaan's bad gutfeel on Gamer carrying over into today, but I don't know how anyone looks at Gamer's posting today and doesn't find it genuine, especially at a gut level. Leaning scum on Slaan.

I was composing that post in a side tab as I reread quid, after getting caught up with everything that'd happened since battle started. I caught quid's inconsistency when I got to the end of the reread, at their battle claim.

I am back to read and catch up now.

Don't like that Quid thing at all but don't want to dogpile a vote without giving Quid a chance to explain and tbh given how yesterday's thing worked out with PMush I also don't want to lock myself into one option when there's lots of other people to read/question too. Consider my vote to be on Quid for now though.

Holy poo poo, I just realized something else about Quid.

Ok, here's that post of Quids reads again:


And then here is Quids claimed battle actions:


Can anyone note the obvious contradiction? The blatant mistake?

It's that Quid decided to use a buff-style action on Bread, his #2 scum pick at the end of the day.

Well, that's what I get for trying to finish all three iso reads before looking for new posts.

I didn't even see that, either, I was going to complain about this:

Quidthulhu posted:

Actually I'm reading more and Tobbs does summarize really clearly. I'm just flat out wrong about everything I've posted today, my god.
basically trying to excuse everything but the post TMM saw and the buddying-up to MMT. (Not that it actually excuses it, but it makes it hard to have a conversation about it. "Hey, why did you do X?" "Yeah, I was wrong to do X." "Um, okay.")

For Kash... not being able to discuss battle actions is somewhat hamstringing here. Otherwise, I only have one real complaint:

Kashuno posted:

*braces for cries that only scum use shrug emote*

Kashuno posted:

*braces for “uh he used kill instead of lynch”*

Kashuno posted:

*braces for "you are connecting unflipped players"*
This is weirdly self-conscious, Kash, is there something you want to tell us? :v: More seriously, it does worry me a bit that Kash is trying to set up to go after TQ after Quid flips, but that scenario wouldn't actually make Quid not scum. So we start there, and don't make assumptions about what comes next.

FL seems solid enough to me, but then I think I'm a bit biased there; he's basically doing a better job of what I'm trying to do.

You can count this as a virtual vote on Quid to avoid an accidental dunk. Just from people stating that, this is, what, -3 -2?

I asked this before but don't want it lost in the mix - what in Gamer's posting made you go from "i would be very comfortable voting either" to "cooling on him"? To me, the fact that he didn't try to get cred for defending pmush doesn't feel like enough to just change your mind like that.

Read above for your first part

For the second: I specifically used cooling because that's exactly what it was. I don't specifically think he's town but pmush flipping town and gamer not even trying to grab some cred took some wind out of my sails.

Just finished a reread of MMT and felt like most of her cases were based on pretty reasonable points even if I didn't always 100% agree with every point. One thing that did jump out to me was her casing of Chaoslord last night, which seemed to be a sudden switch of focus when she'd been pushing Gamer pretty hard and now she's returned to Gamer today. I'm going to mull that over while I take a look at AA next.

Yes and no. There are things I can't say obviously.

But the most obvious to thread reason that it can't happen organically is you end up with a bunch of people being overhealed and some people not getting healed at all. Like for example, when not coordinating against targets in battle and most people take no damage and one person is super overkilled. ;)
