So your entire case against me is predicated on you believing you are such a fearsome mafia player that you made AA scared because he had a single vote on him?

uh no

it's that YOU got scared

if you find it laughable that AA should back down in fear from that one vote on him, then that just goes to show how weak my content was following my AA vote! Why did you suddenly think my posting was good and that you were satisfied as "seeing more from me" then?

I could also post about YPM seeming confused why AAI thought he was begging for attention when YPM made six or seven posts explicitly stating “I want you dead” directed at AAI. I thought that was pretty weird, but I also knew it was jokephase so I left it alone.

I can see now with the players in this game enjoying jokephase was a huge mistake.

When did this even happen? Where did AAI say I was begging for attention?

I don't believe what you are saying. I think you are telling me what you think I want to hear.

I think that I need to think very carefully and look at the post history if I want to survive. I think I need to give as thoughtful an answer as I can, for being concise, or letting things go, in my experience has not been good enough.

Which reminds me...

That deserves an explanation. If only cause it sounds like a fantastic story.

AnAnonymousIdiot posted:

:ohdear:

It just sounded interesting and that it actually happened.

i feel like we're really beating this up, but these two posts stuck out to me. the first sounded awkward and seemed to be almost purposefully diversionary, in a 'let's share stories because we're all such good friends instead of playing mafia' sort of way.

the second seemed to be taking ypm too seriously too quickly.

obviously i didn't convey any of that information well. also, i have a weird false memory of playing mafia with Anon, I don't know what that's about. Maybe I'm conflating him with one of the other people with a long A word as part of their user name. Anon, I'm super sorry I didn't remember you from Survivor. I've buried my memories of that time in a hole and then filled the hole with bourbon.

Curses! Foiled again!


ok to try and clarify my case on Humalong while we're waiting here, this is the rundown:

I complain about AA's posts not making sense and drop a vote.

Moat thinks it's "off" and votes me. (sorry Moat, I just noticed it was AA himself who first called me "being weird about it", not you. I do find this to be an important distinction because 1. who could actually find me voting AA more weird than that whole debacle, and 2. "off" implies more like you're wary of some dubious intent, instead of just throwing generic shade around like "that's weeeiiird")

Hum echoes that my response is weird, doesn't bother voting me though, says he's gotta wait and see, etc, basically a much wishy-washier version of Moat.

After I wake up I only make a few posts on the AA topic before Hum weighs in again. But they're nothing that extrapolates or develops my case at all, it's mostly just scoffing at Moat and Hum really

As soon as Pod starts trying to press him on it though:

Podima posted:

What was weird about Bif’s response and why does she need to be present for you to address it? Her reaction seemed pretty typical in response to AA going off the reservation.

It turns out that somehow, my few scant posts managed to convince Hum that I was all good now, so he didn't need to bother explaining what was weird at all:

Mr. Humalong posted:

I wanted more from her in light of AA realizing he was confused about things. I got that from her, so I’m good.

I look back at my post history wondering what I had even posted "in light of AA realizing he was confused about things", cause I sure didn't remember anything notable, turns out it was pretty much nothing so I vote Hum for bullshit

Hum acts like this case on him is somehow dependent on my opinion of myself or AA, I don't even know how this is supposed to logically follow:

Mr. Humalong posted:

That’s the problem, you’ve created your case


So your entire case against me is predicated on you believing you are such a fearsome mafia player that you made AA scared because he had a single vote on him?

I hope it now makes more sense.

Kind of a strange post because you certainly could have voted any of these people when you made this post and then changed your mind later, voting is not a one-time decision.

That being said that is definitely a bad post by humalong, very defensive and self-conscious

To add on to everyone, Hum refused to get involved with the somber thing, pointedly so. It read like someone who didn’t want to make any calls that would confirm someone. In addition, Hum’s reaction to my vote was a classic example of scum shade throwing.

Jokephase omgus. Neutral.

BUT he's made several posts since that don't actually look for scum or expound upon the case developing on Hum. I don't think it looks good Bee man.


Initial vote. curious.

Your Personal Muse posted:

Humalong is trying to avoid making connections this early so that when he flips scum we have less to go on hth

This was reaction to a somb quote that I found curious. Their entire interaction thus far with the whole joke/not joke thing is really pinging me. I think this is scummy.

The only thing to YPMs credit in the exchange with hum is that hum misrepresented what YPM said.

AI says:

AnAnonymousIdiot posted:

I gotta say Muse made me pay attention to him. I've not had a good track record in my first few games so far, and I'd like to survive the first round.


You can trust me to overreact to things happening, and trying to hide it in an improv linda was. I lose the mood something and I'd head for me to tell what's a joke. I'm very dry.

YPM says:

Your Personal Muse posted:

What do you mean made you pay attention to me? And I assumed you were joking when you said that you didn't mean to be disrespectful. What did you think was disrespectful?

Hum says:

I feel like it could be interpreted as misinterpretation, but I also see much more a case for this to be one of YPM and Hum misunderstanding...

Bifauxnen posted:

ok lol I went back to check all my posts since I voted AA to see what must have given Hum this change of heart. Since the AA vote, I:

- reiterated how AA makes no sense, along with a disparaging remark about Moat who dared to vote me

- said how AA sounds more reasonable now after he got my vote on him

- random comment grumbling about AA and AI that didn't have any casing or anything

- me bugging Hum to explain how he thinks I'm ao weird

- voting Somber with no other comment, in reply to his refusal to answer questions

- brief comments on B- sounding like drunk me, and on pera for lurking

Hardly anything that I would consider an appropriate amount of "more" to satisfy Hum, if he honestly thought my vote on AA was suspiciously weird

ok gently caress waiting for Somber

##vote Hum

Can't refute this chain of events or how it read, BUT hum's subsequent response to this post was good.

Mr. Humalong posted:

I thought you throwing a vote down on AA when AA was doing the exact same thing he always does was a touch aggressive. I forgot that you’re always insanely aggressive. There are still multiple people in this game that have yet to post anything beyond a couple one word posts, maybe hear from them (or they never post and they’re lurker scum that’s a possibility) before we start calling scum teams. Still 24 hours left before end of day.

Day 1 is really annoying because it’s this huge jokephase and then suddenly everyone decides it’s not and if you don’t create a case out of thin air you’re scum.

On top of that, I can’t post about the only lead I have (somber) because then I’m “tagging along” or trying to bus my scum partner :rolleyes:
A good and accurate meta assessment to explain his perception of the vote.
