I’m in a similar sort of mind. Quick votes, in my history, tend to be really bad for Town and I want to hear the other side before we get lynch crazy. Plus having more things to pull from is always good. Don’t want one person fully controlling the narrative.

This vote feels kind of shady to me. Per Solus' points

1. Jumping in front of a question isn't an overtly scummy action, it's just answering a question
2. I feel like Toal was just speaking off the cuff when they said "even if one is SK", and trying to use that as some sort of a gotcha feels like a scum fake-case
3. In what planet could someone possibly guess who the scum killer is this early in the game?

##vote Solus

I mean your first two points are entirely valid, and the third wasn't that I wanted Toalpaz to guess correctly, just that I wanted them to guess at all. I suppose it is possible that I'm reading too much into what may be justified reluctance, but the number of weasel words I put into that last phrase should tell you what I think about that.

I'm still down for a toalpaz lynch, but as with any D1, I'll lean into the wind, whichever way it's blowing (except for me, never self-hammer as town)

from my expired experience the "is imgay scum" question tends to declare itself fairly readily so it is a fairly unexciting d1 lynch

More relevantly, why 5/18?

I am curious as to how you arrived at that number.

SolusLunes posted:

hi toalpaz I always like it when people jump in front of pointed questions for other people

though while it's likely, I wish to know the thought process behind it

Seriously? It was a snarky answer to a dumb question from Toalpaz saying that she was just as likely to be scum as anyone else especially since she hadn't even posted yet.

King Burgundy posted:

I do find it odd that Hal was so oddly specific without any additional caveats.

Perhaps KB would have preferred if I said "there is a between 4 and 6 in 17 (since I know I am town) chance that MMT is scum and likely a 1 in 17 chance that she is a SK, and also a 1 in 17 chance that she is a cop (as I know I am not a cop)..."

But then brevity is the soul of wit

imgay has been so disinterested as town in the last few games that he is actually could be seen as a genuine detriment to town if he is left alive

I don't really believe in killing people over that but people seem to policy vote over less

Dunno how I feel about people insunuating that he did declare it, but I’m happy to ##vote imgay cause day 1 always feel like a crapshoot where nothing substantial really comes out and probably is the best time to deal with lurkers or content lurkers.

I feel like imgay really doesn’t contribute much to town discussion and mostly shitposts or jumps on bandwagons more than anything. Maybe I’m being too strong on this based on the previous game I played with him, but I just feel like keeping him around for the long run isn’t going to be good for town.

I didn't like the waffling between "I don't like how people came to this conclusion" and "I'll vote him anyway" statement you made. Feels like a hedge.

Though your other explanation that I am quoting here makes more sense.

I guess more for me it’s that I found him suspicious/detrimental to town anyways, but I don’t know where the insinuation that he declared himself as not town came from like ASF said when they made their post.

imgay posted:

I'm going to stay away from my keeping it 100 meta this game and try to perform to the best of my abilities, this means I will not reference keeping it 100. Now as a disclaimer I'm not saything this because I rolled scum or anything, but because it would be better for me as a player to not confirm myself as town every game because I'm town every game. In fact I don't even remember how to play as scum. Getting to the point:

GGN don't be so paranoid about AA's shitposting, 's good 2 be king

Im guessing it’s from this? I dunno, I feel like I’m doubting myself now since I’m still jilted from his gameplay from Buffy Mafia and I wonder if I’m being too harsh in that regard. No one else is jumping out to me as immediate scum though.

I am not familiar with Fisk. I’ve never played a game with them, so I don’t know what his game is like. I’m pretty new here, this is like my 4th game or something? The only two games I’ve completed are Buffy Mafia and Grad School Mafia. I’m going with the devil I know rather than the one I don’t. If Fisk is content lurking and shitposting and there’s no other viable lynch targets, I’d happily lynch them.

TBF to you, I agree with you, and have feelings about imgay as a player. He's not usually someone you want getting close to endgame because his play style makes him completely unreadable one way or another, and his content here reads like a thinly veiled troll that I don't really appreciate or care for.

I think even trying to create an explanation for why you are voting imgay (or anyone) on D1 is kind of scummily self-conscious when there is already a contentless train of votes going
