So looking at those, on D1 we have:

On DC: Somber, Kash, DBD, b-minus (town), flerp, Dancer
on B-: DGK, Hal (town) Never, DC (town)
On Me: AA (town)

JFisk and I not voting. No other votes anywhere.

And on D2:

On B-: Kash, NGO, DBD, Somber, AA (town), DGK
NGO: Me
AA (town): JFisk
DGK: B- (town)

And Dancer and Flerp not voting.

The two mis-dunks being driven by basically the same people in Somber, Kash, and DBD is not making me feel great.

Somber

Sits on his early DC vote all of D1. I know he made a lot of posting about how he was busy and how the deadline was at a rough time, but I don't like that he doesn't mention her at all again on D1, especially in light of this after the fact statement:

Somberbrero posted:

Hey, sorry. That deadline was rough for me. I probably wouldn't have changed my vote though! Boo Quid. Boo Fisk.

This is a fine stance to take but I have zero reason why he felt that way about DC because he doesn't mention her at ALL beyond his reason for voting her. Doesn't feel like a "well clearly I thought she was scum and while I was wrong that's the game" type of statement, even though that's what he's trying to play this off as.

Other people he's offered opinions on: AA, he starts off by saying poking at his list twice but doesn't make any statement initially of if he feels his listing is alignment indicative or anything, just that he's not getting his conclusions. It's mostly Mafia Style argument.

HIS ONLY CASE is on B-. I actually don't even really understand this case? It looks good not knowing B- is town, but with his flip, it kinda makes zero sense to me?? I'm having a hard time putting my finger on why tho.

He presents a null read on flerp, calls AA town but then backs off of that after flerp posts about bussing to say he can't see a town reason for AA to vote me, and insists twice that "he made a case" on B- which, as we see above, is not a great case. He also rereads AA's case and goes back to "yeah AA is town." Also has a strong town read on NGO which I don't really get.

So far, Somber is looking really good as potential scum. Just enough content and apologies to get by D1, flipflopping, bad casework, sideline discussion to generate posts....not liking his content at all.

DBD is essentially not committing to anything. Every post he makes with a read comes down to "this is just a gut read" or "well I'd rather go another direction but this is probably the right choice" which is triggering my Scum-O-Tron-8000 scanner a bunch. He also backs down off of basically every read he makes. Look at a bunch of these opinions and how they counterract each other:

Deadbeat Dad posted:

##vote Dead Cow

I won't be around from this post until deadline, sorry I wish I could be cause I'm not even 50% sure on this vote (and I don't like b-minus as the target either), basically there are no real good cases out but I'd rather we get information from somebody [...]

[...] To be fair, b-minus hasn't really provided any content but neither has half of the game including most of my posts so yeah, this is my reasoning. Also he is posting way more nonchalantly from my game where he was just scum. Maybe he's switching it up or something but I ain't voting b-.

Deadbeat Dad posted:

I'm not too proud of my vote/just general content so far but it's been a hard game to really get any reads.

DC was not the best vote and probably wouldn't have been my final vote if I was to stay around at deadline, but whatever. I kinda take back what I said about b-minus and his style being so different though. While I don't agree with a statistical percent sort of lynch, I could see him getting scum for the however many time and then being like gently caress it I'm just going to post really differently and see what happens.

Total walkback of everything he said at EOD.

Next, leadup to NGO vs. B-:

Deadbeat Dad posted:

NGO = weird scummy read, Kash = weird read, b-minus I felt good about D1 but worse about since I realized he could just be posting differently and triyng new tactics as scum. I'm finishing work currently but since the vote and the last few hours there is now actual content to comb through, so I can actually read through and play my game. I'll be pretty active tonight.

This is essentially a rehash of his prior post.

Deadbeat Dad posted:

Other than that, I still have the weird gut on NGO, apparently they play like this when they are scum? I didn't know that, but it would make sense. b-minus I keep flipping back and forth on. I think there's a good chance 2 scum are probably in the Kash/DGK/flerp/Fisk/Dancer group which are 5 people I haven't had time to read, but will get to it.

Kind of a soft excusal of a potential NGO mis-dunk, non-committal lock in with B-, non-committal suspicion on 5 people. The rest of this posts includes dismissing AA and I as a town/town slapfight and a callout of Somber that never goes anywhere and which he doesn't offer a hard opinion on.

Another large posts that says very little:

Deadbeat Dad posted:

Guessing if there's a n0 or not is dumb. Don't think info like that should be hidden since it basically would confirm or not confirm night actions but whatever.


I feel like that's 5 or 6 posters here which is why I think scum are hiding in one or two of them, but it would be like throwing a dart.

Still don't really understand the AA/Quid slapfight, I got to witness both of their scum/3P plays recently and they're playing pretty differently.


My issue with this is while some people have been creating good content and good opinions formed by reading other players, I think the overall "casing" has been weak. If it's been better I think I would feel myself leaning more towards a vote on somebody than I currently do, but I don't.


He sorta addressed this earlier and his response felt genuine to me.

....except it includes a walkback from B- again.

Anyway, I could go on, but I'll let you read DBD's post history and make your own decisions. Even moreso than Somber, he's posting a lot of stuff that looks like content and analysis but really says very little, especially when you combine it with him walking basically every thought back later on. He makes an NGO vote early yesterday when it's safe to do so, then moves to B-. Don't like his content at all at this point.

The AA kill to me is very weird. Knowing AA and I are both town going at each other, I don't see why the scumteam wouldn't leave him alive to continue to distract, unless it was specifically to have this question come up and the only answer be "you're right, Quid, it doesn't make sense for the scumteam to kill AA if you're both town, so therefore you have to be scum." I guess that actually is a pretty strong setup.

The other option is that AA was beginning to let go of holding onto me so strongly and look other places, and he moved over to DGK. Maybe the scumteam includes DGK and they were afraid that AA would start realizing he was wrong about me?

It's probably more likely it was a setup, which makes NGO's right out the gate statement look real bad. It's a strong set-up to begin discussing the above scenario, but also weak enough that if things go south he can point to me play today and go "I've changed my mind."

Nothing has changed for me. Read his content and tell me you feel good about him. I appreciate that he thinks I'm town (or did) in his list, but his post history is sparse. Hard after b-minus, thinks Quid/Fisk might be scummy, made a "player review list" which I always pegged as a scum move back in the day (with like 70% accuracy but I started whiffing by trying to meta that poo poo so meh), but it's a Thing because it's an easy way for scum to provide content in one easy, simple post.

Quidthulhu posted:

Your case was I'm not making content, when I've stated that in my posters a few times that it's hard to make reads with 5-6 posters doing one liner content and posting once every 10 hours. You're making it seem like you uncovered some secret truth re: my content this game. Your other read was that I am not 100% fully committed in my votes. The deadline time is loving awful for me and I have to lay a vote down and project who can actually get lynched 7 hours from when I vote because I don't want there to be a no lynch and have my vote being a single vote hanging on somebody that isn't going to get lynched. I am 100% willing to vote for somebody D1 or D2 I might even feel town-leaning on if the majority is deadset in their reads, especially with a vote I have to do well in advance.

DC was the better option D1 for the two that were up, and I was never against a b-minus lynch, but felt he had townie responses at times. He also didn't really fight against his accusations with any real aggression so it could've been defeated scum. And I started there is info to get from his lynch so I do want to re-read some people regarding him.

I'm still keeping my vote on NGO because nothing has changed for me. Please note Quid that he is not a scumbuddy because I unvoted him for b-minus so that my vote isn't on a unlynchable player when I won't be around for the deadline.

Somber is posting like Somber to me. I have a null read that leans town. And I stand by my comment D1 that there are 100% a few scum hidden in the people that are lurking/haven't/don't really post heavily wordy stuff like Kash/flerp/NGO/DGK/Fisk. (That's not to say they aren't providing content, just less to parse).

The real person I'm curious about is Dancer. Nothing has really jumped out from me just reading the natural progression of posts and reading their posts in real time, and they are providing content too. The weird thing about is that nobody seems to even have any opinions formed on Dancer. Actually, scratch that. There are opinions formed on Dancer but not enough that would ever result in casing. Kash said that Dancer isn't really providing any hard alignment reads to their content and DGK thinks Dancer is scummy. You think Dancer is town and AA also thought Dancer was his strongest town read.. so it's a bit interesting how wildly those reads are differing on one player for me and is something interesting to look at (Not necessarily on Dancer himself, but the opinions around a poster like him).

I already stated I don't like Kash too much. I didn't like how he responded to my post where he thought I was just criticizing him for being "wrong", which maybe could've been construed like that but it was obviously not the only thing I disliked. I've questioned his opinions/posting a few times already. He'd be somebody I'd vote for if I didn't feel worse about NGO.

I personally read Dancer as town, but didn't think it really needed to be stated or is of importance to you if I'm trying to process and convey that information for my own reads. My point is that usually if reads are that different on one player, it's because people are making them out to be worse/better than they actually are and for a reason. It could just be flat out differences in opinions and reads, but I think that in general people usually feel a central way about players more often than not. Like a majority feeling "okay" about somebody or feeling "iffy" or worse with a player that has reason to be suspected. But when I read what Kash and DGK have to say about Dancer I'm questioning if we're reading the same player, so it does make me pause that the opinions on him differ like that.

I read Kash as scummy, and you as town. You read Kash as town and you think Dancer is town, and think I'm scummy. Kash thinks Dancer is scummy. Weird circle we have here.

I actually read that at some point and glossed over it but yes, did slip my mind. Regardless, would prefer my vote to matter if I'm voting that far ahead rather than just having a statement vote. Especially if a lot of my early stuff was gut and people didn't feel the same way as I did.

Kashuno posted:

Next on my random list to read is dancer

Good post. Quid's "n0 in the OP" is dumb.

<big post> Looks good to me.

his post on AA is real bad, if one is scum the other probably is.

although........................

DANCER, you give no opinion on who's scum or town, you're just saying words. Give some alignment reads

I take slight issue with your describing my post on AA as bad. I understand that I was going into some pedantic and possibly meaningless arguments, but I will point out that I ended that post with a very specific thing.

Dancer posted:

AA, do me a favor. Quid is the one person who's most directly in conflict with you. I think there is a chance that that might bias you towards perceiving them as an enemy. Can you play devil's advocate here, assume that you're seeing Quid as a bigger threat than they actually are, and re-read all the stuff the two of you have typed at each other over the past few days. Can you still justify Quid as "strongest scum read"? Note that I am very much not saying that I'm sure they're not scum, just that it looks to me like, if you're legitimately trying to scum-hunt, it's clouding your judgment.
I don't think I'm the only one here who believes that AA's tunneling was actively detrimental to town. It both made him more suspect than he is, and it made us (or at least me) question his judgement more. Maybe I phrased the rest of my post poorly, but I considered then, and I still do now, that it would be of more value to us to get AA off his "obsession".

As for alignment reads, in general order of confidence.
Quid's itchy vote trigger finger bothers me, but it has never happened close to the hammer, and I read his posts as a townie getting frustrated.
flerp is probably the worst of the lurkers (tho NGO and JFisk are also bad jfc I get why DBD is frustrated). This is his single post with any content:
One third of it is him re-hashing the same psychoanalytic stats bullshit that other people have done on B-
One third is him commenting on 6 different low-content posters and placing them in three different categories with little discernible reason (Somb & DBD good, Fisk, Kash & DGK "I don't know because they haven't posted", NGO "I can't possibly know even if they do post")
One third of it is him commenting on the Quid/AA slapfight and there's *some* content there, I guess? But, here would be flerp's one chance to comment on two very active posters, who have provided a lot of content... and he proceeds to not reference any of that content at all (because "having dinner right now")
Conclusion: between all the lurkers, flerp is my most likely scum pick
Somb is, as just mentioned, scummy. For a decent-ish case, read Quid's post that I quoted.
JFisk somehow feels like an even bigger lurker than flerp, but doesn't make attempts to cover it up by acting like they're making an effort-post and providing garbage content. lean a bit scum
DBD is making some fairly subtle and useful observations, with the caveat that he also tends to not commit to things (best example: his recent observations about me "Hey guys I noticed a thing. What could it mean? Who knows!" lean town
Nevergirls my mind reads as lean scum but I'd have a hard time properly justifying.
Kash I don't fuckin' know, he's a granite octopus. lean nothing
DGK same. Note: DGK and Kash don't seem to like each other.

Here right after the scum kill resolves, immediately pushing for me with what was clearly a setup kill. Scum 101.

and you're here at essentially the same time, yes?

i don't care for nightkill wifom as a general rule but something is bugging me about AA dying. I assumed Hal was a lurker kill because I don't know why else he'd die, so it's weird that AA was definitely not a lurker. Quid's right that this does look like a setup kill, but he also said there's zero motivation to killing AA if they're both town. assuming the scum are playing to win it just doesn't make any sense.

so there's the rub for me. Yes, maybe it is Quid being framed, but if you want Quid dunked, it's just more efficient to leave AA alive because it's a vote that has already been vehemently spoken for. It seems to me like Quid is scum and deliberately baiting this argument giving him ready he was to dig into it. The way he's playing there are no downsides, it's just a risky but smart play if he's scum. It just makes more sense. My vote isn't spoken for just yet but, yeah I think Quid is scum. Looking back a little bit, his explosion at AA is totally manufactured. I know that Quid is very emotional and prone to melting down but this:

As much as it pains me to admit. I tried to make a big case about somber as scum, and I think they're just kind of a butthead.

Still feel ways about quid, and it's not just some tunneling nonsense.

Content fabrication.
Weird speculative game ideas.
Less making cases and more picking at others.

This is frustrating the heck out of me.

1. I haven't fabricated content, beyond the literal time I said "I am going to show you how your case is flawed by arbitrarily assigning your statements to your own posts." If you're going to accuse me of faking content beyond that SINGLE time I publicly acknowledged, back it up with quotes and a breakdown. If that's all you're referring to, be clearer, dude, because a statement like "Quid is faking content" multiple times sends me diving into where you've even cased me. You haven't, though, so do you just mean the one time? Or are you actually trying to say I'm consistently faking content? I don't know! You bringing this up TWICE now as if it's happening consistently on my part is really frustrating when I am one of the few people working very hard to see people in a content light game.

2. Speaking of, do you see how many people are coming in and going "these cases all suck, there's so little content to dig through, I don't really have a lot of hard opinions because everyone's being kinda crappy?" You continuing to refuse to do anything but shout about how I'm scum is contributing to that! As a result, the game IS content light! Have you considered I'm perhaps poking people to ask them to drop opinions in thread because MOST OF THE GAME is going "I don't really have a lot to say, AA and Quid both look town / dumb / maybe one of them is scum, maybe not? But there's not much else going on." That leaves a lack of content to analyze. It's WHY I'm asking people to put down hard opinions, clarify their statements, give a record of their opinions through lists and whatnot. Again, your coming in and going "look at this obvious town play from Quid"

I and Dancer have both asked you to let go of me for a moment and take the same hardline analysis eye you are reserving ONLY for me and do some deep digging into other things that have happened and other things people have said. Even if I am scum, I'm not loving alone on the scumteam, dude. Go hard case someone else, PLEASE. It will help the game.

This is the type of poo poo that makes me ragequit because it's LITERALLY NOT A MAFIA GAME if nobody is analyzing content and making cases and talking to each other. This mafia hubris bullshit of "I made a read on D1 that is infallible" is something I'm actively trying not to get swept up in myself, but I'm sitting here asking people a million questions to try to get folks to play and everyone is either giving me flack for it cause "That's scummy" or shrugging and going "meh."

So looking at those, on D1 we have:

On DC: Somber, Kash, DBD, b-minus (town), flerp, Dancer
on B-: DGK, Hal (town) Never, DC (town)
On Me: AA (town)

JFisk and I not voting. No other votes anywhere.

And on D2:

On B-: Kash, NGO, DBD, Somber, AA (town), DGK
NGO: Me
AA (town): JFisk
DGK: B- (town)

And Dancer and Flerp not voting.

The two mis-dunks being driven by basically the same people in Somber, Kash, and DBD is not making me feel great.

if you're going to predicate an argument on a votecount analysis it is highly convenient to neglect to mention that you did not vote day one and made a useless vote day two. for talking about people not contributing, where it counts you have done absolutely nothing of note. two misdunks is not only reasonable, it is statistically likely. you're not an idiot so i know that you know this already, which means you're making an intentionally dishonest argument. while we're pointing out bullshit,

HIS ONLY CASE is on B-. I actually don't even really understand this case? It looks good not knowing B- is town, but with his flip, it kinda makes zero sense to me?? I'm having a hard time putting my finger on why tho.

He presents a null read on flerp, calls AA town but then backs off of that after flerp posts about bussing to say he can't see a town reason for AA to vote me, and insists twice that "he made a case" on B- which, as we see above, is not a great case. He also rereads AA's case and goes back to "yeah AA is town." Also has a strong town read on NGO which I don't really get.

So far, Somber is looking really good as potential scum. Just enough content and apologies to get by D1, flipflopping, bad casework, sideline discussion to generate posts....not liking his content at all.

boy howdy i bet the case looks bad with the benefit of hindsight! if it didn't make sense you should have argued that yesterday. if you think it's a flawed case then you could actually take the time to break it down rather than saying 'hey it sucks and so does somber,' yeah? if you think there is something dishonest in the case then that's what should be the meat of your argument here. Instead the crux seems to be 'because binus flipped town.'

i'ma keep going but ##vote Quidthulhu because it's obvious at this point. i think the reason i didn't see it before is because you're playing into your meta super well, so congratulations.

i feel like every nevergirls case is 'just look at 'em!!!' I did look at 'em and I don't see it. Give me something else to work with. It seems pretty clear that if NGO is scum, they're not partners with Quid so that's probably coloring my view a bit.

for once i don't intend to be rude when saying that dancer's biggish post doesn't say much. it's mostly just me-tooing without a lot of original thought? i feel like i've already responded to him in addressing quid.
