Excuse me, but it seems like you're referring to a previous "intentional formatting mistake"... I'm confused, can you do a kind favor and go back and quote it?

Ah, I thought you were trying to be funny with your unvote of Tolly (I think?) Because for a split second, it was unbolded.

I quoted it to point this out, but you had ninja fixed it before I had even pressed quote.

Hence my legitimate astonishment.

I realized that if you fixed it, you weren't being facetious and I backed off.

I suppose it depends on your definition of content. 'I have a gutread' and dropping a vote clearly isn't a case, though it is a voting record. I'm not a huge fan of this posting style since it doesn't drive discussion, but I've seen it get results and also know KB is intentionally shifting his meta.

The fact he showed up and removed his Quid vote after MMT shot him and the fact he's returning and giving more opinions that I agree with (AS's 'me too' vote on Tobbs being bad), makes me lean town on him. Hope to see more and see how this new meta develops.

So far I like this version better than Gulag's 'hey i know lets kill X' without any reasoning given whatsoever.

Now that the weekend is over and the day is getting closer to ending I'm expecting the lurkers and content lurkers to start contributing. It's still early in the day but it's time to start getting serious.

Dancer posted:

Btw, can someone clarify for me, in vanilla mafia terms, what dayvig and brutal cop are? My current understanding is, a dayvig is someone who can kill someone at some point during the day (presumably one time only). Presumably town-alligned, but could be other allignments too. Brutal cop is the same, except it doesn't kill town-alligned people? So in the case of Quid having some sort of protection, we don't know the difference, but otherwise MMT is brutal cop.

Is there precedent for there being a role that can do a 100% harmless "day kill" for a gambit or sth?

Dayvig shoots anyone and they die, usually. Brutal Cop kills anyone not town. I just don't think I've ever seen a day one. Anyways, DBD posted There may be a few experimental roles, as always with my games in his OP so I don't really think we've learned anything about Quid for sure. However, I'll take it as tentatively confirming MMT because I can't really think of any reason it wouldn't. I think scum having something like that would be too unbalanced.

I view a lack of posting as a thing that can happen to anyone. Life, or lack of motivation, who knows. A lack of posting *while flinging accusations without supporting them at all* is indeed something I am biased against. So ok, you're trying to break the meta, I'll keep in mind, but I will still probably more easily view you as suspect for it.

You answered your own question earlier. Because it clears herself and another and she might not get another chance.

This is another way that RF is weirding me out. I think of him as someone who has a pretty good handle on setups and mafia theory even if he isn't paying all that much attention to the thread. MMT explained her reasons for using it pretty clearly right after she did it, and even if she hasn't it isn't that crazy to use that power right away especially if you are someone who has a fair risk of dying early in the game for meta reasons like MMT does and RF knows that.

And the whole lack of comprehension that host/human can be both an alignment and also a trait and those can be mutually exclusive is strange to me. It's not just RF doing that, but I also think that is something that shouldn't confuse him too much.

I guess I can't say if that makes him extra lazy town or intentionally obtuse scum but it seems out of character for him.

On a re-read, I didn't make this clear enough in my last post.
"Vote X, because I feel like it"
"Vote Y, because my gut"
is not what I see as content of value. Yes Mr. F, and flerp, and HiipFire are also zero-content people. It is easier for me to view them as lazy (as opposed to malicious), while you fall a bit closer to the likely malicious end of the spectrum.

I'm sticking with my vote.

I also find it hard to believe DBD would put in a role that could potentially mod confirm two people D1.

I believe MMT's claim about her role, so this sticks out. Regardless I'd like RF to consider whether or not Quidthulu flipping would do anything to help town. Personally I think both MMT and Quid are terrible choices for a day 1 lynch and would not vote either of them. Quid in particular hasn't posted enough reads to even be of much use when he flips, and most likely he'll flip town or 3p based on MMT's claimed role.

Yeah ok I guess that stuff makes sense ##unvote

MMT is more likely 3P. If her role specifically lets her kill Non-Hosts only, AND we know that there are Host aligned Humans (ie if she shot me I'd presumably die and I'm town), and we can assume there are Scum Aligned Hosts, her role doesn't make sense for Town OR Scum.

Let me get this right, I think I know what you're getting at here. Do you think that MMT is a 3P that wins when all Host aligned Humans (ie you), and Human aligned Humans (ie scum), are dead?

I'm here again!

Right now my assessment of the game is that Tolly, AA, and RF are all town. They've all done stuff that could be easily interpreted as suspicious, but in all three cases the way they've acted since being cased has changed my mind. Tolly explained what she was thinking as she did it, AA has shown a willingness to answer any cases thrown at him / seemed genuinely frustrated at the case on him, and the case on RF seems like mountains being made over molehills.

Lumpen posted:

I'm voting AA because his posts about "the end of jokephase" struck me as insincere, he acted overly indignant and flailed, he dodged questions, he got OMGUs-interested in pushing MMT who I think is Town, in general seems defensively voting only people who seem suspicious of him, then throws out what I consider a weak and bad case on snail. My gut tells me he's the best lynch I'm seeing today.

I suspect Tolly for 3rd-vote on D1, question dodging, and gut.

I'm re-reading over Lumpen and am starting to feel like he's scum.

I had the same opinion Lumpen did regarding AA at the start of the game - I thought the "end of jokephase" stuff was insincere too. But none of the other stuff Lumpen cites as reasons to be suspicious of AA really work for me:

(a) AA was indignant and accused me of being scum when I cased him, sure, but those are normal town reactions. I'dve been the same way if I were on the receiving end of that case. Lumpen: how would you expect a town AA to react compared to what you've seen this game?
(b) I don't really think AA was flailing or dodging questions. He made a few weird posts that seemed to be inspired by not having fully read everything, but again I think that's something town is more likely to do (:justpost: instead of holding back). Lumpen: can you provide any examples that pinged you?
(c) I can't imagine a world where town Lumpen would have a problem with AA's case on Snail, but not make a post interrogating the perceived flaws in it. He just mentions it offhandedly in a list of "why AA is suspicious".
(d) I also can't imagine a world where town Lumpen wouldn't have cased Snail (who was also notably left off his LumpenList) himself by now. Lumpen: what's your opinion of Snail?
(e) His opinion of Tolly doesn't seem to factor in her explanation of why she voted Tobbs. Lumpen: do you really think that was a scum plot on her part?

i honestly have no idea what you are trying to figure out in your most recent posts. Especially when you're asking other players to comment on a specific player? maybe you're just overconfirned new town, but it really feels like you are playing with extra knowledge.

I don't fault kb or anyone for not participating much or not putting out content on a day one weekend with 90% fluff. I'm not willing to vote him when that's the entire case.

I don't understand what's going on in most of this post. but I feel like the narrative being stuck on knowing or not knowing it's her second game is something that scum are totally content with, if not driving themselves.

it's all white noise detracting from a few things that should be looked at. here's one ##vote rf

If not Lumpen, Snail is my other top choice for scum. To me he reads exactly like I do when I'm scum and feel too far behind on the game to churn out fake opinions.

Also, the fact that he gives KB a pass while coming down on RF doesn't feel sincere to me.
