That it's a bad idea because it involves older players assuming they know how new players operate, while new players are telling them the opposite.

I understand, but it's a reason you're not willing to share and that prevents people from examining your motivation. When you decide to share it later my vote because it will disappear, but you leave it, never give a reason and Tobbs ends up lynched and flipping Town you can expect me to stay on your case. If you're town and being genuine you have nothing to worry about.

Hi Merk.


This post is the first one in the thread about my experience level.


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


And that's it. That's the whole thing.

i'm going to come out and say i read the samurai mafia and saw that was tollys first game as well, so i don't think that this is necessarily a scum tell. some of landos other posts feel awkward tho.

also hi tolly i'm jealous of your scum game nice work : )

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)

dgk calling people out for avoiding posting content when there had been approximately two content posts in the 20 or so hrs the game had been open, is bad. it's wild 'n dangerous to say new players shouldn't be expected to have opinions or that old players should, but also, tolly should readily have an opinion on matters tolly is involved w.

This is something I agree with. New to the game or community, it shouldn't be the deciding factor for alignment or how many grains of salt we should take.

Tolly has experience beyond our community (revealed in Samurai scum chat) and L has played in this community in past so...

Just shoot from the hip. An AA approved strat. Always.

I don't think L recognizing she played in two games is indicative of OOT, just because this info is readily available in VF.

VF comes with neat tools that shouldn't necessarily be uses to hunt scum like avg. Post count or number of games in or last posted, but yeah....

Just my 2 cents on this whole line of case work.

Instead, I still like my vote on MMT because I haven't seen anything worse than that tag a long case.

Looking into this Tobbs stuff.

MMT firing out of the gate is more like her town game. AA just having been scum with her (and me) should be able to see that difference.

Gonna hold my vote though because he's got enough heat on him for now.

I'm interested to hear what he thinks of Tolly's case on me, which is that she explicitly says there isn't one.

But just because you have to look for it doesn't mean that people wont.

I found it in a few seconds a couple games ago. It's an improved feature and isn't that hard to come across from regular browsing on the site.

It wasn't so handy when I last took break. I just don't think it's the slam dunk for OOT speak.

I should say, I'm not trying to undermine your case on L, just that I don't think it will pan out based on this information alone. Will watch L.

I did replace in though :ohdear:

And I try not to follow meta too closely. Usually for frustration behavior and authoritative versus contributing posting. Those are my biggest tells for most players.

I just think it was a poor case that called out specific inconsistencies that didn't exist in my own posts.

And does bad casing from MMT immediately scream scum to you?

Because I believe even in post-game discussion we talked about MMT's casing in Shine being pretty not-great. She was town, though, and I pushed her that whole game.

In shine 2 she played similarly was scum and won that game.

I think meta is useful but not great.

And it's more that what she called me out on specifically. It's not that the case is Bad, it's that she says I did something I didn't do. Where dgk was weird suspicion, and Lumpen was just probing not even voting.

Mmt came in with a weird case about me lying about trying to determine alignment from unvoting on what was definitely a d1 joke vote.

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

Murmur Twin posted:

(fixed grammar on second quote)

This also seems like a weird mixture of joking around (the vote) and being serious (the unvote) that makes me feel like AA is lying instead of just speaking off-the-cuff.

How is it lying? What Have I omitted or been dishonest about? Seems to me that you're intentionally fabricating something that didn't happen.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

I did vote Lumpen though, and then unvoted when I realized he wasn't making a scummy quote vote.

The follow up callout was only in response to some weirdly framed pressure that put scare quotes and italics on a single word from my post.

This push feels inauthentic, and poorly substantiated.

MMT claims I lied about something. My vote o. Her is not an omgus, but in direct response to her actually lying and claiming things that did not happen.

I mean, I'll be waiting on clarification on how I lied about anything.

This is either a misunderstanding or a mischaracterization, AA. You're framing this as MMT saying you lied about something, like night actions for example. What she's saying though is that your stated intention to make an alignment call at this point in the game is false, or filler to give the illusion of participating/making calls.

It sucks to have someone call you a liar, so I'm leaning towards this being a misunderstanding, but your focus on the "lying" aspect of MMT's case could be a way to wave it off without talking about it, which is scummy.

Only I have talked about it. Even if it is a misunderstanding, some more feedback from mmt might make me change my opinion.

However, I feel like she's retreated from the discussion. Weekend sure? But still....

I'll let it go for the time being, as I need to look at some other votes and contributions in this thread but I feel I've been forthcoming about answering why I voted for you initially, why I think mmt looks scummy from her case and have been participating in some other discussion as well, though not as closely since I'm self absorbed lol

Retro needlessly fronts a vote on MMT by putting KB on the hook as leading the push. This move looks like Retro is trying to lessen culpability Retro might have from MMT's flip which I have to assume is town for this point to have any relevance.

If Lando flips scum it's very likely someone who was very familiar with the Samurai game shared that it was Tolly's first game.

Maybe I'm super paranoid, but knowing that this is her second game on the forums requires stalkery behavior or OOT communication.
