We didn't turbo Kash. It was near deadline after a long day of discussion. Maybe if you were actually around for it, you'd know that.

Wow the "too scummy to be scum" meta defense out in the wild. Impressive!

I can't recall the people who are saying it right now and should probably read back and find those people, but I really, really hate the ones going "oh there's only been president election and club distractions, this game has no scumhunting!" because it feels so incredibly lazy and is easily shown to not be true. There have been a lot of really good cases made and some really terrible cases made. If you're bitching on D3 of a 40 page game that there has been no content, then you're just straight up lying. I'm also really glad that my theory about there being no scum team did not prevent actual scumhunting. I was really excited about my insane theory but didn't want it to give people an excuse to check out.

Instead of being concerned about your post count Jon Joe why not present an actual case (like I'm doing on you now) that doesn't consist of:

TolenFemale is scum, followed by IronChefRamen

You drive by post your suggestions on who is scum (misspelling one of their names), proceed to vote Token, only to suddenly change your vote to me with no real explanation of why. I think you are just trying to pad post count instead of posting real content.

I also think anyone that voted "No One" should be looked at closely too since that just screamed to me lets have this go on forever so we can no do the important parts of mafia and thats scum hunt.

Kash was in no way turbo'd and I agree with you. There were calls to turbo him Day 2 that I thought were weird. The hard part with the Kash votes is (for me at least) it was hard to tell who was voting to send him to Detention and who was voting him for President.

So first of all, some town reads, which is I think Bif is town as she's been making a whole lot of sense in this thread. Token Female I'm also feeling good about for the same reason. I've turned around on TNL. I was suspicious of him yesterday, but I'm feeling a lot better about his content today. bminus also I don't have a super strong town read on, but once he started actually giving some reasoning for his opinions I'm feeling a lot better about.

People I'm kinda iffy about are Gulag, Juchero, and Dawny for their almost pathological lack of participation. Gulag slightly less so over the last few hours, but generally the three of them just pop up once in a while, say something not at all relevant or useful, and then disappear, but that said I've seen this behaviour in so many games that I honestly don't know if it's a scumtell or not. I wouldn't push a vote on any of them, but I would be fine voting for any of them.

Scummy people include Nat20 for reasons that other people have said. I like Token Female's version of the case the best, that he decided of his own accord to recuse himself from participating in the presidential election and I guess wanting to remain impartial because ???? but then comes out on D3 with a strong argument against 50 thinking that he's lying. Literally the only reason I can think of for this dramatic turn is if he's actually the cop and copped 50 last night, but I think he'd just straight up claim if that was the case, so there's no other logical reason. Also this idea that people shouldn't be explicit about their scumreads is nonsense, but whether it's "bad opinions about mafia theory" nonsense or "scum logic" I'm not sure, so it's not really the bigger part of why I think he's scummy. It's more the fact that he's focusing on all these things completely unrelated to saying who he thinks is scum.

JJ is also scummy as hell for his mass posting and his I guess 3P claim without actually bothering to participate even a little. There's not too much to say about this because it feels pretty self-evident.

Reading through his posts, it seems Sal is one of those people who is complaining about things in this game that aren't standard mafia, which I find suspicious. People are also right that he hasn't really been participating in scumhunting despite posting. That said, I understand if people are busy. If he makes some good posts before deadline, I may feel better about him. While looking through his post history I noticed at the end he's made posts since I started writing this post that look okay, but I'll read them in context once I'm done with this.

There's a whole lot of people that I barely have an opinion on because in my mind they show up once in a while and say something only to disappear from the conversation for long periods of time. These people include: Cat, Chic, AA, AS, BN, Gene, NGO, and flerp. I could go back and read all of them to try to come up with more concrete opinions, but I don't want this post to go on any longer.

For now I'll say ##List 1:Nat20 2:JJ but I may change it before deadline.

Token Female posted:

Natural 20: There were a lot of posts about finding the president but none about finding scum. Didn't even vote for president. Never commented about how 50 totally has a made up role until now. Has been really impartial until that last post. Like on day 2 at some point I checked the OP to see if Natural 20 was a co-mod. Compared to chic and LCR (below), Natural 20 is actually trying, which is maybe makes him (?) more scummy in my eyes of the three. Also his biggest scum read is someone we cannot vote out, for a reason that he could have mentioned on day 2 while Natural 20 was spending time/effort counting the nominations. I'm not saying that 50 is town or scum, but calling him scum will have little immediate outcome.

I'm waffling a bit now cause for a while, it sounded like his whole anti-list thing was just his scummy way of making a case on you. But the fact that he keeps going on and on about it with such ideological fervour and shining a big spotlight on himself in the process makes me uncertain.
