Oh dear sweet pod, I really hope you are scum in this game

I do not like your posturing and you are acting like you don't know me as a poster and also like mafia is performed in a vacuum.

There is a ghost in the machine pod.

Your push against me is perfunctory and mechanical and I do not like it. Also you basically are omgusing me but really packaging it like you are not

Also I have a secret theory that is very :tinfoil: and I don't think would go over well

As for soda, basically I am expecting more caution from her considering her last scum performance (sorry soda) and I'm not seeing it and it satisfies me that she is town atm


AA posts in a way that makes it impossible for me to tell because he so often is wrong (Sorry aa) I like his engagement atm and so I am less inclined to go scum for him

yeah this post does not satisfy me like it.... did pod apparently? the only "scumhunting" moat has done this game is voting pod for posturing because... pod should know better than to expect more out of moat?

specifically the line "Your push against me is perfunctory and mechanical and I do not like it. Also you basically are omgusing me but really packaging it like you are not" it reads like moat cut letters out of a magazine and sent it anonymously in the mail. like, accusing pod of posturing while using the tone of this post is peak :ironicat:

the only (little) content that moat has posted d2 has been about pod except for a tad bit of wifom about TNL. soda hasn't posted much d2 either but she told us in our masonry that she's sick, and i'm not gonna hold illness against somebody. i fuckin hate being sick.

IllegallySober posted:

I'm going to apologize in advance as I do not expect to be able to post much until late this game day (Friday afternoon/evening).

For now, I remain suspicious of Atomic Soda and want to go back and look at how the push for bowmore towards the end of yesterday went. I'd also obviously like to hear more from some of the people who haven't been around a ton and/or committed to reads (Moat, IP, Asiina, BK jump to mind although I can't verify all of those at the moment).

Will check in as soon as I can. I know it sucks in a smaller game to have someone knowingly away for a while but unfortunately I can't avoid it today.

I've skimmed to this point and am going to think about this day so far while I have a shower but really there hasn't been a lot that's pushed me in any direction as there seems to be a whole lot of apathy right now.

I'm not a big fan of yami's asiina case because I agree with or at least see where most of asiina's quoted reads are coming from

that being said i also dont agree with this:


maybe it's just because yami and i have been chattin a bit in our masonry but i dont think they're really scummy at all for this stuff. the speculation stuff goes off the deep end a bit but as they've said this is their second game on sa, i felt the same drat way when i started playing. basically i'm just glad yami is putting a bunch of content out there and that actually makes me feel a lot better about them.

as opposed to the other person in my masonry who i think i am going to vote for again today

(emphasis mine) I'm curious, why didn't you just ask them that in the masonry if you've been chatting and it was the first thing that came to mind when you started posting itt?

I will say that of the people who are actually posting I would vote AA or Yami.

AA's posting rubs me the wrong way in a lot of ways as I previously touched on during D1 and that has continued into D2.

As for Yami - their Asiina push doesn't feel well-founded as I discussed previously, and in rereading them I found their "well where's your results MR COP" at the start of the day a little too pat - especially when combined with their subsequent weird dichotomy (emphasis mine):

Yami Fenrir posted:

Mostly due to Sal's reply to my question. It just feels too simple to me, in a "There, you have my alibi for having no results, now go look at more interesting people!" kind of sense. Compared to how angry he got over bowmore's prodding, this seems strangely uncaring of an reaction about likely being RB'd all game.

I've considered a few possibilities, most of them going off the deep ends (which seems to start to be my gimmick apparently, as seen in Pequod where I came up with a vote poisoner of all things).


Such as: Sal being SK and RB'ed by scum afraid of a cop
Sal being town and RB'ed by scum afraid of a cop
Sal being scum and RBed by town RBer
Sal being town and RBed by town RBer.

I am running off a lot of assumptions here, but I find a cop claim being RBed by a townie somewhat unlikely. Even if suspicious, it would make a lot more sense to give them a day or two to show results, given the way votes on him stopped when he claimed cop. In my mind, it was much more likely that scum RBed Sal (hence me saying I believe the RB'd claim)

The reason why I don't trust Sal at the moment
is because I find the transitition from the anger about being prodded by bow so much, to a reponse that feels like "Oh well, I guess I'll be roadblocked forever, meh." to me. It came over more of an excuse than anything to me, a simple alibi as to why to not produce results. (Not to mention I had to ask them for their result for them to come out with that information, but that may very well be a timezone problem). The circumstances around this dialogue just feel very much off to me.

I find Sal additionally suspicious because I feel like there is a second night kill missing, as I explained above, and Sal has been roadblocked. There are, however, plenty of other reasons for this such as the simplest, there simply not being one. I am not going to vote Sal up yet, as it's very likely I may be wrong and honestly, I want to be proven wrong, as cops are useful. A tracker result on Sal would be extremely useful, for obvious reasons.

This is playing both sides on Sal really hardcore. "I believe Sal was RB'd but I also find him hella suspicious but I'm not gonna vote him because I want to be wrong!"

##vote Yami

NOTE: If it comes down to it my preference is to execute someone who isn't playing, but this is definitely worth punctuating with a vote.

Obviously since I'm suspicious of Yami it's hard for me to buy the case. But it seems sound enough. The thing that gives me pause is that both times Yami has brought up Asiina it starts with her vote on AS. And it's been speculated that TNL's death may have been related to flavor starting to point towards a vote on AS. I'd like to go back and look at more posts around this but, again, lack of time.

Lost in his thoughts again. He had tried to make sure it hadn't happened again, but here it was.

(Sorry, I was pulled away for the majority of the day due to other responsibilities.)

He's been reading the others over, but something strikes out to him as odd.

The topic of Masonries had been breached, but no one had mentioned whether they were confirmed or not. That seems to be an important sticking point no one had ultimately clarified. Even so, the idea of being able to trust someone you're chatting with in private has led people to ruin before and will do again.

Yami's case doesn't make much sense to the student. It relies on a lot of conditionals, but the claim of being a shady foreigner doesn't sit right by this. Especially the people who are now turning to vote them. Is there now suspicion on such a claim?

He still feels as if Moat was let off the hook without due evidence supporting it, especially with such the flimsy defense provided.

##vote Moat

The student adjusts his spectacles, trying to put his thoughts in better order. Too many variables at work here for his liking, but there's only one way to whittle them down, and it frustrates him.

If Moat will escape the night yet again, he will hesitantly vote Yami, to avoid a night in which the squabbling produces no results.

Yami, you are very wrong about basically all of that setup stuff on what is typical, and like I can go into detail but also don't really want to and it won't be particularly useful. Just know that there have been 20+ player games with a single scum team with 5 or more team members, so it's not like that where there's only ever 2-3 scum members.

Anyway, I kinda only skimmed the stuff that happened since I left yesterday. I also had the fleeting thought, like Pod did, that bowmore went so hard on Sal because he was soft counterclaiming, but apparently not.

Yeah but that's after a night phase (and almost a full IRL day) passed in between those posts, which I pointed out when Yami tried to say the same thing. Are you reading Asiina's post history in isolation?
