I don’t really agree with your points here against Bif. Kit’s original prod against Bif felt pretty hedgey and a response of (posting gimmick aside) “well if you think I’m scum where’s the vote” prod in return was perfectly reasonable and in character for Bif. I also don’t really see how Kit’s defensive post in return (over a single vote) makes her look at all better than Bif. It is worth pointing out the scum tendency to try and carefully craft their posts to avoid suspicion (eg. Manufactured posts) which is mostly what jumped out at me from the same qualities you call “levelheaded” in her reply.

This is a fair assessment. I'm still not entirely sold on it, due to tone issues. It may be due to the PR, however. Going to keep an eye on bif, but willing to let it go for now.

I get where you’re coming from here, same as chaos lord (and appreciate the implied compliment :shobon:). That being said, can you please set the topic of imgay aside and let me know if anyone else pings you? Regardless of his utility or lack there of, i want to make sure the folks voting him have other opinions on the record.

I just looked back through your posts and the only non-imgay content is:
- Bif’s PR made her seem scummy (and realizing it was a PR “partially explained” it - is there more that you’re concerned with?)
- Huma is weird but nothing to be done about it yet (which I agree with)
- You don’t believe Yami is a miller

I don't want to give anyone any excuse to not cuddle imgay today. People will always latch on to any real suspicions over policy votes.

But I don't have anything solid, so I guess it can't hurt.

I'm suspicious of Bminus mostly because of MMT's suspicion. I'm suspicious of our lurker folks for various reasons and because I'm inherently suspect of lurkers. (Jimmy because he seemed so earnest and towny and full of posts in a recent game, but no sign of that here. Nat20 because he is a smart player with a lot of thoughts but I'm seeing none of that in thread here, maybe because he is talking those thoughts out in scum chat. And Rhj, because he's doing nothing, and that is an easy way to skate through games, but I have no meta on them. Looking at the player list, I'm seeing pera here now too, which is a change since I last had this thought. I dunno that that says much for her on d1, but it is bothersome.)

I'm a bit suspicious of Yami since his tone came off grumpy in a post or two that I felt weren't justified from a town Yami. I've seen him grumpy/angry before as town and this felt different. I'm bothered tremendously by Bif's tone in all of her posts. It seems REALLY fake and bad. But yeah, PR, so, I'm not sure how I'm going to read her this game. I think Solus's defense of imgay is suspicious and unjustified, but in his defense I've seen him do that as town. I thought Hum's defense of imgay and walk back was crazy scummy, but he's not able to be voted.

There you go, I'm at least mildly suspicious of half the thread.

Hello I am here, just finished a full reread and will be around for a bit before I need to drive home

Quickfire feelings:
- imgay submitted the same role for a previous CYOR game that I can’t find easily on my phone. Imgay which one was it, if you recall? Regardless I think the meta related push on him lacks value especially with existing day 1 content being pretty good! I am suspect of people who are staying on that to the exclusion of all else and would like comments from those currently voting him: b-, KB, nat20, chaoslord, and Kit. Thank you!
- town reads on Jimmy (yes reversal of prior statement), Bif, and MMT.
- I see the b- vote and could go that way, but I’d like people to look at pera. She hasn’t voted a single time today and her posts feel uniformly manufactured to be sidelong comments without laying down actual game opinions.

I just woke up, but I'm going to quote this post here and comment on a few things that called out to me about it.

- You quote that CYOR game like it is a strong reason to not vote imgay, which fyi: most of us don't know about and as such couldn't consider it, and when looking at said role... it absolutely does not set it on town. At the very least, it'd make the game (players full of spoiler tags) more annoying for everyone.

- You say "at exclusion of all else", but do not highlight what is exactly the "all else?". Where's the solid case we should be focusing on instead of imgay?

- Town reads on Jimmy, bif and MMT. MMT I can see, and bif I can sort of understand due to your follow up post (not this one), but Jimmy has barely posted in the game. Care to clarify?

- You ask us to have a look at Pera and then drop it quickly and only push for me.

- You say "I am suspect of people who are staying on that to the exclusion of all else and would like comments from those currently voting him: b-, KB, nat20, chaoslord, and Kit.", but then say:

If I was manufacturing my posts, I would not be jimping around on opinions. Also note that I explained why I settled on 2 lurkers rather than all 3, those two seemed suspicious to me rather than the 3 who just wasn't posting (and I think will fall into lurker gun on day 2). You neglected this bit. You also did the same thing by ignoring Natural 20, CL and KB as above.

I've noted this before and I jump around opinions and thoughts a lot. It's my personality. So it's either this (which I don't like, since it makes me look confused and dumb) or go back to my lurker self.

I disagree with all of those things above, but even with that I can acknowledge the good comments you've made. How is that not natural? I'm jumbled because I'm town and I can see how most of you could be scum or town.

I’m not 100% sure who to vote for. I’d be suspicious of Kit flossing over Rha while focusing on lurkers like myself or Nat20 but I find it unreasonable for scum to come out swinging as early as she did on imgay. While imgay is pretty unanimously seen as an easy patsy, putting herself out like she did alongside doing so while still in what was primarily the jokephase draws a lot of attention that scum wouldn’t want on them, especially if they’re trying to get rid of an easy target. That, alongside the fact that if she was scum, she’s the type of player who’d run most of not all her posts with her scum team by posting and I’m pretty sure they’d tell her not to do the things she is doing like being loud and drawing attention to herself.

I can see the policy vote with imgay, but I’m not a massive fan of it. A lynch is better than no lynch, but Imgay hasn’t really given me a reason to see them as scum. More like a trolly townie.

So before I started reading b- I wanted to read the votes on him and this vote

SolusLunes posted:

My first question would be "why are you basing a case on how someone's responding to somebody not in the game" but nobody's been modkilled, and Asiina hasn't asked humalong to stop, so I assume this is somebody's power (and imgay is all but claiming it).

I mean, the tunneling worked last time I played with you, and things are fucky already. That, and I don't think Sal's scum. So it's possible that binus is just jumping on an opportunistic read... from someone not in the game. :shrug:

##vote binus

Doesn't sit well with me.

The reason solus is voting b- is
1) MMT Tunneling has worked in the past
2) He doesn't think Sal is scum.
3) It's possible that b- is just jumping onto what huma said.

Point 1 is bad, point 2 is "ok but why does that make b- scum?", and point 3 is weird because it looks like he thinks humalong is not a part of the game and that this is imgays doing somehow? I don't think imgay did anything close to claiming responsibility to humalong did he? And humalong had already talked about his role previous to this post so this looks like someone just stretching around to justify jumping on a vote.

Podima posted:

Kit, among many other things (jumping around to call out some lurkers but not others) why are you hunting 3p instead of scum here?

I think this is a good point. I have learned (most recently from that Verge game) that 3P is very dangerous to have around. They're upping the kill range every day and making the game end a lot faster, which only benefits scum. So although imgay's role seemed more 3P than scum, the vampire aspect of it felt scummy to me too. So from my perspective, imgay is not town... he's either 3P or scum and given that I don't have any information on any other player so far (this is day 1 remember), then I am happy to lynch him.

imgay just picked a role that has absolutely no benefit to town, when he could have chosen anything! This is why I agree with KB that even if imgay is town, he doesn't really have our best interest at heart.

Stuff that stuck out from me from the reactions to my BS D1 claims so far:

[Nat20]
Seems to have accepted my claim a little bit too easily. While yes, it is imgay they're voting, they didn't question it at all. Bit suspect to me.

[jimmy]
Seems REALLY eager to kill people. I was already suspect of how quickly they jumped on the claim, but now that I read their post history their only contest is about lunching me... or lunching imgay. There's no comments on the VT claim, imgay's dracula stuff or anything like that.

On a re-read this feels like a fake thought process.

Nat20 believed that Yami's "I was recruited" was real...so he's scum? Why? What about that is scummy?

Jimmy made a D1 vote and that's "seems REALLY eager to kill people"? I don't believe that's a real conclusion that someone would actually come to.

I don't believe that someone would actually use "I'm going to fakeclaim being dayrecruited d1 and catch scum that way". It sounds more like a fake scum case to me.

I can answe that. They have played together a few times since fate stay

This is the post that Murmur made the b- case on.

Her case is
Humalong says he has a scum read on Sal. B- jumps in to agree without really clarifying why. Then, Bif asks Sal if he's still referencing Fate/Stay and if the two of us have played together since.

B-, unprompted, answers:


(a) This isn't true.
(b) The only motivation I can think of for b- to post this at all is that he's self-conscious scum who needs a reason to have a scum read on Sal.

##vote B-

For (a), they have played in 1 game since then, and votefinder reports 100 post mafia as being a second because Kash put sal as a dead player instead of a spectator.

For it to be a scum thing, b- would have to have been lying on purpose, which feeds into her b point. I don't think b- is intentionally lying here, I think it is more likely he is mistaken, so I don't think this is scummy. There's nothing really else to talk about with b-'s post history.

So don't see this either, Pod.
