Well two things, number one is that Krell is the heart and soul of mafia, and number two, it certainly seems like a lazy push that's sent out to act as feelers to see if momentum will swing...DOESN'T IT?!

Setup spec is usually a hallmark of scum discussion as it gives no inferences to alignment and generates the illusion of content, but all this is just silly. It strikes me as pointless at worse. It doesn't seem very fair to Krell to call them out on this point when you started the line of discussion. I presume you're just stirring the pot?


this is a total non-comment and I don't like it. Why, as town, would you feel the need to chime in with this? ##vote Atomic Soda


Dicky Bee this is clearly a joke.

The :rolleyes: emoticon tends to get tossed around by scum fairly often in this community.

As far as setup discussion goes, it is as much content as anything else on d1 and the heavy handed discrediting of it reflects poorly. Krell went into specific role information that seemed unconventional from the what I attempted to glean from the OP.

Seeing as you were recently SCUM in a game where I was TOWN, and you pressured me similarly, my antennae are raised.

I will say that in hindsight, the Krell vote wasn't a good one.

The small pile up on I R SMART LIKE ROCK looks bad. ROCK's comment was innocuous.

Yes. I have played a ton of Throne of Lies though, and read some older mafia games, so perhaps i look like I know what I'm doing.

AA's vote is dumb, but I'd vote for DB's post immediately following it. I don't like the way he takes the vote and softly me-toos it, and it tries to play up the "incredible lack of information" in a way that sounds fake.

Retro's follow-up is also bad, but more easily played off as a joke. All three are worth keeping in mind, really.

I agree this is pretty specific for the incredible lack of solid info town would have at this point.

Dick Bastardly posted:

I see what you guys mean about IRSLR grasping to shade krell. Krell was (obviously, I think) stating that he/she values set-up spec posts over no posts, and would rather do the former versus the latter. But IRSLR somehow tries to twist that against krell by making it look like a lurker call out.

Interesting.

to be clear (trying to be clearer!) i'm suss of these two posts. they were made reasonably far apart for day 1, but together look like possible scum edging onto cases being made by others.

It's a terrible vote, but I was kind of expecting retro to run with the vote for a while, and then say it was a joke and move on, and I would have believed that based on the timing and the content, and voted him after Dick or AA. He says the terrible vote was actually serious, so there's that.

Votefinder tells me retro is Opop with glasses and a fake nose, and I could see opop running with the vote based on nothing, or holding a grudge for who knows what. The terribleness of the vote doesn't change, though he's still not my first choice.

I know I may be tunneling on Rock a little bit, but something about their way of posting just doesn't gell well with me. Apart from what I've already said, I noticed this post:


quote:

So you don’t like the fact that I said we should give players some time to post? Harold’s next post is them saying everyone should have posted already as a courtesy

Which I feel like doesn't really rebuke my post at all? It just doubles down on their attempt to shade Harald, again with seemingly deliberate misinterpreting of their words. To me this looks less like a defense, and more of a "Don't look at me, look at them!" redirection, which feel scummy to me.

But granted, this is just d1. I don't have that many reads yet, and only two people I really think as town at the moment. But Rock still is my biggest scum read atm, and I'd be very interested to see how their flip would reflect on earlier discussion at some point.

Is this a pileup or isn't it? If the pressure on Rock is only coming from 2 people then a different opinion is not weird; if people are generally agreeing that Rock is suspicious it's not a mere "2-man" pileup. You can't have it both ways.

AA is calling it a pileup, and I presumed it because of the two votes (well, mine and Atomic Soda's attempt at voting them.)

Which is especially curious to me since they didn't call out a pileup on Harold when two people insta-voted him.

I noticed that you partially quoted me and left out the second half where I explicitly state that Harold is likely town. Then I go on to talk about the previous game where we had lurker guns and several lurkers got day lynched. This caused the game to progress through ~2-3 days very quickly and completely changed the group composition as they were all townies. I'll admit that I'm probably overly sensitive about this as Mord was a part of that game and would be aware of the issues we faced

I R SMART LIKE ROCK posted:

Anyway, I don’t think Harold is scum. I just don’t like that kind of behavior. We had a bunch of townies that got lynched due to timezone mismatches that made it seem like they were lurking in the dbz mafia 2 game and I don’t want a repeat

Also trying to get a vote going this early into the first day is kinda scummy

For what it's worth, I'd rather lynch a lurker. There are way too many people that aren't even in my spreadsheet yet because I only recorded people who posted.

I'm kind of curious about all these power claims in a game that's supposed to be role lite, actually. And yes, I noticed your "Harold is likely town" post, I quote stuff that sticks out to me. You'll notice this with AA's post I quoted earlier as well.

While you're here, what's your read on AA? They're kind of my biggest null-read atm.
