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?

Yeah I think so. I mean it’s a shot in the dark but it’s how I rationalize it

Interesting that at the time of this post you had the same post count as snail (19).

Why is he on your lurker list? Why are you particularly averse to lynching lurkers? People have made a content case on snail, so why are you waving it off as a lurker case?

SO can I try to ask people's honest opinions. Would you vote someone scummy who has had comparatively little interaction with the game, or someone slightly less scummy (but still scummy) who has interacted a lot, and the flip might gain us a lot of information?

Like, I still want to vote snail, I think he's in top 2 scummiest people, but I'd be willing to swap to someone slightly less suspect who happens to have more dirt on them that we can work with. For the record, here is my list again:

Decent, hardworking hosts:
Dancer, MMT, Quid (no surprises here)
Vaguely trustworthy:
DGK, Tobbs, Tolly, mark
Suspiciously squishy:
50 pounds, AA, Lando, Lumpen
Vile meat-puppets:
AS, KB, RF, SS

I am slowly warming up to RF, he's defensive but not overly so, and at least one person I trust trusts him (MMT), and some of his suspicion comes from a weird time in the game where I didn't know wtf was going on, but he still a little suspect.

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.

Can you be more specific what you mean by "playing with extra knowledge"? Are you saying that Lando asking Snail for Tobbs is scummy? And if playing with extra knowledge is scummy, why did you unvote Hiipfire?

This is one way to find scum...
Finished reading back up. First of all I have to say that Tolly is the single most hilarious person in this thread and her continued trolling of Lumpen has made me laugh out loud every time I reread through early Day 1. To summarize:

* Tolly votes Tobbs. Later explained that this was not a joke vote and that it was because he was moving his vote around too much.
* Lumpen votes Tolly for placing a 'bandwagon' third vote on Tobbs on day 1. I in fact jokevoted Tolly for this very same reason.
* Tolly emptyquotes Lumpen because his vote on her is, in fact, a 'bandwagon' third vote on day 1. I even made a joke about this at the time, saying they were clearly scum together.
* Lumpen asks Tolly what the emptyquotes were about, seemingly oblivious to the fact she was turning his own reasoning around on him.
* Tolly says Hi and ignores the questioning.
* Later, Lumpen notes that Tolly dodged his question when she shows back up in thread.
* Tolly says she's not interested in engaging him on something he doesn't believe in, which I assume to mean bandwagon third votes on people, which his is.

This to me reads as hilarious and masterful trolling of someone who has no idea they're being trolled.

So my question is this: Is Lumpen usually this dense? Does he seriously not realize he dropped a third vote on someone when that was the actual case he made, when two people are talking about it?

I also have to say I'm having a very hard time getting a read on Tolly. Her current suspicions are purely people who have voted or interrogated her, though her use of a pressure vote on Tobbs is something I do myself. I'd like to see her expand her list of reads.

I'd vote Tolly or Lumpen if it came down it.

My biggest read though is DGK. Other people have disagreed and disagreed heavily, but every single time I read the post where he calls someone out for not having a real opinion so early in the game it pings me hard. I've reread the thread a few times now and I just can't get over it.

I had missed the post where RF confirms he was merely flavored as someone who was Human in the show, but was town. Suffice to say I'm an idiot and should have read his posts more clearly the first time.

I think 50 is probably Town despite the fact that also think his "mystery injection" story is an entirely fabricated and self-serving gambit.

---

Yeah RF I am satisfied and I think you're likely telling the truth and thus likely Town based on what you posted and what DBD posted and my PM.

merk, would you agree that putting a caseless OMGUS vote on someone makes them less likely to be lynched? I think you're probably Town, and I'd like to see you use your effort and vote more productively.

Also of note, I feel like Lumpen this game doesn't act suspicious of others enough to be town.

snail hasn't posted in over a day. i would consider that lurking. i would have added hal to that list but he showed up earlier today mainly to discuss RF.
to be completely honest, snail hasn't even been on my radar at all. they're a completely null read.
i have always hated lynching lurkers, especially on day 1. i would rather lynch someone with actual content to pick apart the next day. I'm fine with putting pressure on them, which is why i voted for hiipfire earlier. And sure enough, they showed up almost immediately after I voted them.

i dont want to break any rules so i unfortunately cant provide all of the evidence of this right now. but in the larry david game we were scumbros, and he mentioned how much he loves to gently caress with the town by making up insane gambits. he also tunneled me all game by claiming to have knowledge that i was scum. he basically posted the same thing every day "bman is bad, lynch bman, why does nobody want to lynch bee movie" and nobody listened. so when I see him post things like:

It just feels like he's trying extra hard to appear town and doesn't feel genuine. His behavior reminds me of Kash's in FF6 I think aka a scum that is faking a bunch of townie reactions (fake frustration with trying to figure out the game, asking leading questions about specific players, etc) idk maybe im not explaining it correctly or i've just never played with lando before so im not used to his style of play. just don't like posts like these:
"That's exactly why I want to hear from Quid. It comes down to a matter of whether we trust MMT's claim or not."
"Tobbs this is the second time you've done this. The first was when MMT put it down, and now B-minus1. I'm starting to think you might have some information the rest of us don't."
"sentimental snail can I ask you your opinion of Tobbs? "
"gently caress. This flavor thing is a quagmire and I am sorry I brought it up. Going to take notes from now on and not stream of consciousness post anymore until my reread is over. "

I unvoted hiipfire because i was satisfied with Tobbs response. I don't like that hiipfire disappeared right after I called him out however.

Dead Cow has been flying under my radar and upon rereading him I just realized why. He's said absolutely nothing about who he thinks is scum or town, despite being around to post about flavor and question people about roles. The only potential take he's even had is that B-minus1 has been quiet this game.

I'd really like to hear something with substance from Dead Cow before tomorrow.
