Someone quote me his strongest case / scum read.

I don't see anyone can write off "even if his alignment calls are basically a bunch of town reads" as no big deal.

He gives his opinions on the major happenings of the day, but doesn't find any of them particularly scummy (namely Madman, BK, Bif, and Solus). He looks at a few other people on his own, but doesn't find much there. But his reads to seem like he's actually paying attention to the thread.

I mean, it's not like there's been any super strong cases D1, so yeah I'm fine with a bunch of "I dunno, none of it is standing out to me." It's not great, but I don't particularly read it as scummy.

IS, what do you think of IP?

I feel pretty strongly that

- IP is the patsy (scummiest looking town)
- the reason that people aren't looking at IS with more suspicion is that he has a scumteam helping him out

I have probably ten more minutes or so before I pass out.

Less justification and less likely to write off people as probably town.

Also going out to look for reads himself on people nobody is talking about and not finding any, I don't know why you'd do that as scum when you could just not post that, since it's not going to get you any cred.

I do.

To be clear, I think that "doesn't have a town wincon" is something that scum would say (since they know who isn't scum but not who is 3P) whereas "is scum" is something that town would say (since their default mode is to hunt for scum). But I don't want to start a derail on another case this close to deadline.

I know your point was about IP's frustration but he didn't really provide anything else so I'm sticking with that for now.

Asphyxious posted:

Like I interpreted his posts to mean him “catching up” was he was literally rereading a handful of people then just kinda gave up, which is crappy play. But when I reread his posts I didn’t get pinged at all which gave me pause.

As I said the worst part was him being like “well what are the cases that aren’t bk?” like bk is a sure vote, when he’s said he thinks bk is town.

I’m just getting home now and reviewing the posts I’ve missed in the last two hours or so but I’m actually irritated at this characterization of what I’ve done this game day.

No, I haven’t reread every player in the game to this point, but I’ve reviewed several today and have been trying to provide thoughts as I go. My last post was asking if anyone had anyone else they specifically wanted me to look at next, as I was well aware the ones I’d looked at so far I’d not found particularly scummy. I excluded BK as I’m leaning town on him. But I wasn’t “giving up” on anything and to describe it as such is frustrating when I’ve been trying to contribute in and around an otherwise-lovely day for me today (which I try not to point out anymore after having been accused of using that to hide from giving reads in previous games. C’est la vie)

IP's sin is basically just lurking. It's not inherently suspicious to me. I'm sometimes quiet at the start of D1 and I definitely got frustrated as poo poo when I first started playing Mafia when people would case me seemingly no matter what I said. I think that the momentum on him doesn't justify the strength of the case.

IS went out of his way to make it look like he was searching through the thread looking for scum, and shared with us his observations - but he didn't find anyone to call suspicious. I think that it specifically looks like IS is trying to go out of his way to appear town despite not actually seeming to have any interest in hunting for scum, and I think that the only reason to say "I can't find any cases" (instead of just making a case that might be wrong) is that he's self-conscious scum.

I'm not kidding, click his link in the OP and look at how more than half his posts, many of them made well out of joke phase, don't have anything to really do with the game.

These two posts in particular stand out:

sniper4625 posted:

At the moment, the things that twinged me the most were IPs overly enthusiastic defense and BKs series of attacks on Bif - I guess like others I didn't see the supporting evidence for their ferocity. The former could be explained I guess with the metafrustration, and I dont see a late breaking vote for him developing in sny case. The latter, I was hoping BK would pop on at least once more to answer raised questions before deadline before solidifying my opinions.

Most of the rest seemed to be joke posts, discussion of the above, or otherwise white noise overall, at least nothing that gave me a real scum feel.

sniper4625 posted:

If I have this right: BK says Bif supported Asiina's case (only to later retreat and recant under pressure) and was calling for suspicion on any TMM voters for a future chainlynch, while Bif is claiming that she was supporting Asiina making a case and was specifically calling out IP for specious reasoning on the lynch. Then uh you both started yelling at each other and things devolved. Correct?

These look and smell like summary posts that don't really say . . . anything?
