Merk was pretty gungho about Gridlocked. Tried to sway the vote to him.

merk posted:

MMT, taking me out of your sights for a second: What do you think about Gridlocked?

When he noticed he wasn't getting traction, and people were looking elsewhere, he drops this:

merk posted:

His last awful list post this morning has me reconsidering. It looks more actually-kind-of-trying newbie.

I'm about to go mine out some more stuff.

He drops an unvote, and moves on to someone else he was suspicious of, and so were others.

merk posted:

Friendlies, I really don't want to sound like a jerk here because this is butting up close to casing someone because they are dealing with personal things outside of the game. However, I don't know if I can past the thought process behind these two posts.

Post 1: I am super busy. I can barely play the game.
Post 2: I spent a bunch of time looking through old posts of mine in old games to deflate a meta argument about whether I capitalized a 't' in a confirmation post. I did this instead of scum hunting.

##vote Lumpen

IMMEDIATELY DROPS LUMPEN AFTER A SINGLE POST WHERE LUMPEN SAID HE SPENT 15 MINUTES IN NOSTALGIA

merk posted:

Ha, ok, that's fair. ##unvote

Still reading.

He realizes someone might notice him pulling things out of his rear end and drops

merk posted:

If I get lynched for trying to get the game to put votes down and start talking about who is scum instead of petering into the d1 lynch with garbage, I'm going to be rightly upset at SA Mafia.

And then he eventually moves on to what is essentially a lurker lynch right now, despite there being far more interactions that we could get info from elsewhere.

merk posted:

He has two posts, friend. I have no idea about anything with his alignment. I expect he gets replaced. Alternatively, you are here and not telling us anything about alignment.

Gridlocked made one big newbie sounding list post. I’d still vote him but am less convinced. His reaction to pressure didn’t feel that scummy.

Lumpen responded with something I truly believe about sitting around having an option to be nostalgic or put in effort. Made me laugh. Sounded real.

This is in the same breath he is accusing me of low content.

Re-read snail.

Lots of side commentary and an odd vote on RF that he admits isn't great. Feels bad with him calling me town, but if he's scum that's a good play.

I find it really odd that merk is rising in the vote counts. The poster with far and away more posts than anyone else has never been scum, to the best of my recollection. Makes me think other candidates (snail? Mr. F?) are probably scum, and scum are trying to push merk due to the large number of players who have expressed negative sentiment towards him.

Because he has no interactions with anyone to give us alignment ideas. A D1 lurker lynch provides no information, and makes D2 a de facto day 1.

i dont think mr f is a good lynch target, but if we cant come to a consensus, then i will vote him to avoid a no lynch. i would much prefer we use it to see if some people's scum reads are actually accurate, but if we have to lunch a lurker to get a lynch then that sucks but okay

This is the first really dubious post by snail.

sentimental snail posted:

rf willfully tossed out a vote without reading to see what he was agreeing with, or even checking to see if he actually agreed with something.

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.

This is his explanation. I can kind of see where he's coming from on this so I hadn't made too much of it. He also votes RF later in this post.

After this he claims he will be busy and is indeed gone for a good long time, drawing some lurker accusations in the process.

When he returns he comments on a comment of 50s about MMTs role without giving opinions, then says it's rude to get upset at people gone for 24 hours before getting into flavor discussion. Still no reads other than RF and KB.

sentimental snail posted:

hey friend I dunno if you're reading the same flavor as me but I don't see anything about your role being confirmed except you have a gun that works in the day, maybe

sentimental snail posted:

if you have something more concrete about the setup than the flavor in that post, you're welcome to share it

otherwise, until her alignment has been confirmed, I'm not accepting her word that she is confirmed, yes

sentimental snail posted:

I wish you didn't have so many right opinions about merk and the PR claims in general. it's causing some very conflicting opinions on my part.

I'm otw to work, will be reading from there and hopefully posting today

Talk about post restrictions and says he gets conflicting opinions without sharing them.

Continues to hold his vote on RF. Actually makes a read: Doesn't like that Tolly is not engaging with Lumpen. Says he wants to vote her but doesn't nor does he call her scum.

sentimental snail posted:

I like the intentionally obtuse reply that you're hoping will color other poster's opinions of me, but that is not what the post I quoted says. it says, exactly, these words: I probably wouldn't vote [Retro Futurist] as a primary candidate now, but I'm leaning more scummy than townie on him

Talks to RF about holding his vote there despite RF not being his primary target. Note: As of writing this he still has his vote on RF, who he has since cleared.

He chats with Tobbs about Tobbs meta of focusing on him too much.

sentimental snail posted:

I'm gonna keep my vote on rf until I decide to place it elsewhere, because I am busy and looking though the thread when I have a few minutes

hope this helps

As of writing this is his last post. He's made one or two reads all day, says RF is not his primary target while voting him and never says who his actual primary scumread is.
