This is one way to find scum...

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

So, what is it? Is it because you've been reading all the games recently? Did you just assume it was her second game? Did you check votefinder?

I had already backed off and wasn't voting you, so this really seems like a disproportionate response. I literally said, multiple times, that if you flip scum I'll use that info to find your scumbros. If you're town it shouldn't matter at all.

I recognized Tolly as a new face when I read Wandering Samurai Mafia, and assumed this was her second game from that. I only checked votefinder to read my old game and see how long it had actually been; my other game was in 2011.

Like I said, this isn't about votes, it's about the narrative. Let me just be perfectly blunt, what got me upset is this:

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

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.

No one told me anything about Tolly and I know this to be true, which means you effectively just called me a stalker and that is a personal attack that hits close to home.
I think I'm just especially emotional today but I really don't appreciate that. It's beyond the scope of a fun game.

Tobbs, indirectly what you’ve stated is that you think there is a mafia team of Lando, Atomic Soda and myself. Is that a set of reads you stand by?

Also I guess I’ll spell this out: A lot of people are probably going to read the wiki and a few games before they play. It’s not weird that anybody would know stuff from the game immediately before this one.

I said if Lando is scum, he's scum with someone who has seen our discord chats.

That includes a number of players in this game, and is useful info.

You're putting words in my mouth here. I've neither explicitly said nor implied AS is on a team with either of you. I think your reasonless vote "for reasons" is scummy, and AS buying it was scummy (though she backed off).

As for Lando and you being on a team, that would require some bussing to be happening. I won't rule it out, but it's not something strong that needs pushing either.

In case it's not blindingly obvious that this is a scummy push.

What is the interpretation of quoting me and then Atomic Soda voting you and then saying “this is a scummy push.” if you’re not saying that we are both mafia?

If you’re saying Lando is with somebody who has seen our discord chats then you’re saying he’s scum with me, you, mmt or AA. You’ve said MMT is town and you’re clearly not saying it’s you, so the pointer is to me or AA right?

Voting a player without any reason and calling it serious is scummy.

Going along with it is also scummy.

Am I voting either of you? No. But in the tapestry of making an alignment call on either of you, those are dark squares.

You don't have to be scum to look scummy. If that was the case town would never get mislynched. For even worse examples look at some of the terrible, terrible fake claims town players have made in the past. Disgustingly scummy, and yet they were town.

The whole crux of the game and the problem is we don't know if a scummy play is made because someone is scum or because they're being stupid. AS vote was opportunistic and I'm inclined to agree that voting someone because you want to see someone else's vote on them is scummy as hell. In fact I did the exact opposite and voted you for it, Tolly, because you're the one who could actually produce said case.

I think I'm starting to calm down now.

Nope.

There were other players in that game with access to the dead doc/scum doc. It's not a huge list, but it includes more than just us.

If Lando flips scum, that list is useful, because Lando's scum flip makes it very likely he was communicating OOT with someone on that list.

If you're curious, the discord channels are still up. You can see who joined them.

AS realized it was a bad push and backed off.

Town players can certainly be scummy, but hopping on a train with a bad vote is a good way to get caught as scum.

Your vote on me is bad. Flerp's is hopefully a joke (or he's scum and I get shot N1).

Are you gonna continue to act like you have some result on me, or are you going to admit that your vote on me isn't backed up by anything meaningful?

Pardon me for my impertinence, but this was literally all you needed to say, if it's true. All your other indignant posting has made you look worse, and if you're Town, please cut it out and talk about who's Scum rather than moaning about yourself.

If Tolly flips Scum now then you're in trouble, right or wrong, no matter what excuses you give. So if you're Town, demonstrate it by Scumhunting.

I generally wait until Page 16, although I was just thinking about it a bit ago while I was vacuuming.
I'd currently put Lumpen, merk, MMT in Totally Town,

I'm annoyed that the argument is even being pressed, and even more annoyed that following Mafia games on SA is now somehow considered 'stalkery behavior'. What's more likely, that I'm stalking Tolly, or that I've been reading Mafia threads for entertainment.

I'm getting annoyed enough that I'm now starting to wonder if that's the entire point of this line of thinking, to piss me off and distract me.

I'm almost ready to drop a vote on Tobbs for it, except I'm already voting Tolly for her thus far unexplained vote on him.

Is Tully new? I'm losing track of who's played how many games. I actually am more suspicious of people who are hook line & sinker going "yep I agree with Tully" on a ~*~mystery case~*~ that, frankly, holds zero water for me even if he is dancing around night action results.

This post feels extremely suspicious to me. How could Quid possibly have not picked up through reading the thread that this is Tolly's second game? Tobbs' whole case on Lando centers around that information and lots of people have talked about it.

Quid is actually my strongest suspect at the moment. His posts don't seem sincere to me in a way that's kind of tough for me to verbalize. Like I see town Quidnose as more of a bulldog who actively looks for scummy stuff and then grills his suspects. Quid in this game is more kind of jumping around with reasonably "safe" opinions and seems to actively be attempting to not make waves.

Quidthulhu posted:

Sweet jesus there's been a lot going on.

Other than that I...don't have a lot of strong opinions. RF is looking best in terms of faking content, so my vote's gonna stay on him.

I just don't believe town Quid would ever say this. He'd case people and get some strong opinions. Normally, this is the part where I'd vote him and then we'd debate etc etc etc... but instead let's ##open fire at Quidnose
