Ok. This is a bad idea. Do you believe it?

My guess is that he's talking OOT with someone. Doesn't have to be you, but would be anyone familiar with the Samurai game.

Talking OOT is usually a good sign someone is scum (though masonries are possible).

I'd ask if this is a joke but you seem as serious as a heart attack. Why should someone in their second game have 'actual opinions' a day 1 that's been slow as hell? This coming right after MMT starts questioning them too, now that I think about it.

Oh, I know! Tolly, what do you think of the complete and irrevocable murder of jokephase by DGK2000 and MMT?
(You don't have to answer this. For people who don't understand these things this was a joke question. You can if you want though! :D)

I don't remember it being mentioned in thread that this is Tolly's second game.

Tobbs believes that Lando, who wasn't in our other game, shouldn't know this. He is fine with how I summarize it here:

Tolly Totes posted:

So Tobbs, is the idea that we're both on a team together and I've told Lando it's my second game and then he said it in the thread?

I'd understand it better if the argument was 'Yeah but Tolly said she's played plenty of other Mafia games elsewhere so calling her new considering her play in the samurai game is a stretch', but this is purely a read based what I should or shouldn't know as a new player.

I'd rather just keep saying what I think though even if it looks like I'm being fed information because the alternative is withholding information or lurking and that's not why I signed up to play.

I think this is a scum post. It reads to me like he doesn't know whether to be

(a) serious ("I really do want to take a look at dgk and lumps...") or
(b) laid-back ("...for their super serious votes during [jokephase]")

It's like he's trying to sound town, but I can't imagine that he actually thinks he's going to deduce dgk/lumpen's alignment at this point in the game.

##vote AA

I'm kinda feeling this. Like I look at Lumpen and I get a "too overtly scum to be scum" vibe, and it's weird that AA comes down hard with an opinion of "that's scummy behavior" when I'm not sure how I would read Lumpen being obstinate anymore.

I'ma keep an eye on how AA responds to this and where it goes but this is the thing in that exchange that is standing out to me as odd.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

Their posts looked exactly like what I've already said about them. Serious at a point in which there is nothing happening. My vote on tobbs is explained as a dig as you, him, tolly and I were just scum together.

So dgk is just wrong about it. I don't think much else about their posts other than them being wrong.

Lumpen is Lumpen and weird. The serious or sarcastic serious look w.e. Lumpen MO is, reads as passively confrontational for no real reason other than instinct and response triggering.

You look fake as pointed out.

Merk comes in with a hot take.

I'm not super sure what to make of this response. On the one hand I'm reading AA as genuinely frustrated and trying to remember if he was awkwardly hardline about stuff in the last game we were in together where he got misdunked early on. But it's also jumping out at me that he's had several people agree with MMT at this point and he only jumps in to throw some soft shade at merk's response. Feels off, not sure which direction.

This is a really weird white knight, and it's also kinda wrong; Tolly should have been able to come in and give an opinion on stuff that was happening.

At the point when he made that post I thought DGK was jumping the gun on demanding opinions. It looks like there's quite a few people who disagree with that assessment, his target wasn't the main concern which is why I tried to explain it by saying 'well what if it was KB'. It read as an accusation of content lurking when it felt really early for that to me. The fact Tolly is a newer player reinforced that in my mind but it's starting to look like I shouldn't have brought that up at all, since my opinion didn't rely on it as a material fact.

Now it looks to me like there are several players who take everything seriously right from the start. Also I just like talking and responding to people and it was something to talk about when it'd had been pretty slow before then, the discussions around AA aside.

I was confused by this until I realized Lumpen was actually accusing Tolly of parking a third vote on Tobbs in a serious manner when I did the same thing as a joke matter. Realizing my mistake I'm going to go ahead and ##unvote Lumpen because I missed the context of his vote, which at the time seemed to have absolutely no case behind it. I think I was missing the forest for the trees there.

I'm going to have to rethink things because things got serious even before I realized it, which does change my view on the posts that followed.

I just reread the thread to get my bearings and I'm cracking up at Tolly trolling Lumpen after thinking I might find something there when Lumpen's vote turned out to have a basis. It also turns out that AA's vote was for MMT saying he was lying and leaving it there after she walked it back, which isn't as OMGUS as I'd thought, which annoys me because he was my other strongest scumread.

I'm also wondering if KB is voting MMT for making tone reads, or if there's something more to it.

Other thoughts: 50 has done nothing other than make a claim about being injected N0, and Lumpen was given a post restriction N0. Mr. F! has said nothing after confirming, Atomic Soda is MIA and flerp hasn't been seen since the start of D1, but it's a weekend. Merk is all over the place and unreadable.
