The case on jimmy was related to posting and statements about button pushing and not, regardless of will, whether or not jimmy pushed the button. Forcing jimmydalad to do it doesn't resolve that issue at all, what?

Is it I that is insane... or the rest of the world?
So I slept on it and after reading Toal's new content, I came to the following conclusion.

The conclusion being that I refuse to believe toal is this goddamn dense.

Toalpaz posted:

Scum will aggressively pursue lazy town lunches to ensure that the lunch choice doesn't swing around onto one of their members day 1. Look at how easily Jimmy gained 4 votes when the first one was placed. There's no reason for Yami to exclusively look at Jimmy or case Jimmy, the extent of their case is that Jimmy is lurking. All in all it seems like it's an attempt to force a low info lunch on someone who doesn't look like they'll fight back.

As stated previously, this is an INCREDIBLY bad attack on my case. Not only does Toal accuse me of pushing a lurker, which I wasn't (Jimmy had less than 10 posts but it was still far from deadline), it also claims it's a low info lunch - which it ALSO is not.

My case was centered around Jimmy's cageyness, which should have been clear to anyone who actually read the drat thing. Like, say, Bif, who did and explains it to toal.

To which Toal's response is:

Toalpaz posted:

It isn't decent to case someone over whether or not they push button. Button doesn't seem to have any impact on alignment.

We have a player in the game (onset) who can literally make Jimmy push button, and case should evaporate. It's an empty case, not designed to catch scum.

Once again misrepresenting my case. It wasn't about pushing or not pushing the button, it was about the cageyness involved that is often a scumtell. Calling the case empty is bogus.

Instead of re-reading me or admitting that my case isn't nearly as scummy as he claims it is despite being told this from multiple people, Toal doubles down on it:

Toalpaz posted:

Sal please vig Yami or onset it would make me feel very happy.

Toalpaz posted:

Killing Yami is the only way we hit scum, that case is fake.

You cannot possibly be this certain that the first person writing a case at all day 1 is scum to demand their vigging. Especially after being told you were wrong multiple times. I am willing to believe that Sal misread the vote target, at least for now. Note how they aren't even trying to properly attack my case anymore - it's just "empty this, fake that" without actually engaging with the content of my case, which was Jimmy's cageyness at all.

All in all this reads to me as a BAD, BAD attack on a case in an attempt to protect a scumbuddy. However, I am willing to entertain the idea of Jimmy being scummed.

Toal's factually wrong attack on my case, complete with the unwillingness to back down from it, looks pretty bad to me regardless or not of Jimmy's alignment, however.

Come to think of it, they also were almost violently opposed to the suggestion of being daycopped earlier.

Toalpaz posted:

So db, yami, and onset? Ok.

In response to me suggesting we daycop Toal, mostly because they keep getting mislunched lately. Given that it happened AGAIN the previous game, I would think that toal wouldn't be as opposed to the idea, but maybe that's just my personal way of thinking. Why are you so opposed to the idea of being daycopped, Toal?

Do you have something to hide, Toal? I know I don't, I have nothing to hide.

As such:

Other than that, Dancer flaunting his daycop and then waiting on it seems a bit odd to me. Given that the thing is already public, and most likely nothing can be done to stop a daycop, I personally wouldn't risk dying without seeing it used.

I personally am not getting pinged by Dancer that much because I've seen him do weird stuff before, but it's something I want to point out.

Anyway, off to work for me. As mentioned previously, deadline is during work (roughly 3-4 pm my time, I believe) so I won't be around. I should hopefully be able to check in during lunch break, but internet is spotty on my phone while at work, so no promises.

I'm okay with the Toal vote, your defense of their case on you sounds well-reasoned to me and that statement you pointed out makes me wondering how Toal can feel any certainty about your alignment enough to make those kinds of statements.

yeah the whole thing is silly, much like whatshisface voting for me, but I will try and be nice to the newbie for now

I think the push on Yami is the scummiest thing going today, so I would most like to lunch Toal or Sal. Toal is pushing it way harder and I agree with that last Yami post where Toal seems to be willfully missing the points Yami's actually made, so Toal is looking like the scummier of the two again. But I'll leave my vote on Sal for now so he's not forgotten - getting right in on Toal's dodgy case while also shoving all the responsibility off on Toal (oh I'll trust Toal's judgement!) kinda smells fishy to me.

And Sal backing off it so soon might be cause he confused Jimmy and Jimson... or it could be a handy excuse to bail once he saw I was gonna make a big stink about it. I do distinctly remember Sal calling me "terrifying" in an obschat once :sun:

You are terrifying. But in this case I did confuse my Jimmys (a problem I don't normally have). If I was scum I would be a lot more blaise about my vig because I could vig a townie and be like "Oops my bad." I'm objectively trying to use it to maximize impact for town :-/

I don't understand how you could be so sure that Jimmy is a worthy vote, and then come around to conclude that because you think I'm defending a scum buddy it's worth voting me instead. Now you're assuming the alignment of Jimmy, to make a case on me for your vote. Which makes your vote more precarious, and less well reasoned.

There's nothing scummy about willingness to push a button or not and nothing will convince me otherwise. It seems like a low effort case on town unwilling to fight back and lo and behold Jimmy came back only to double down and dig in.

I'd be willing to do Jimmy now because Jimmy so far has been reluctant to participate in the game and refuses to post any reads, which is a real reason to vote someone for being scum, but I'm not going to act like your case didn't immediately convince me that you're scum.

Yami Fenrir posted:

First you're saying it's suspicious, now you're just scared.

Who would be scared of pushing the button while also trying to shade people pushing the button?

Scum, that's who.

##vote jimmydalad

Jimmy doesn't sound scared in the post. That's not a good point.

Why would scum be scared of pushing button, as far as we know it gives them powers. If scum team is any good, they can cross reference their powers to know every power role town has. Thus controlling how powers are used in thread and knowning who to kill at night. This game seems skewed in scum's favour given that scum know the people with PR's and also can convince town to vig themselves.

There's no argument in this post for why it's scummy to hedge about pushing the button or not. You're inviting the reader to make up their own reasons that 'make sense'. You don't have a real argument that Jimmy is scum here.

Yami Fenrir posted:

My vote on jimmy isn't a joke vote, fyi. It's not the best case, but given D1, I'm willing to go with this.

What's pinging my about jimmy is the following posts:

Empty shadethrowing, also the way it flows into his next posts when I make a joke about it don't sit right with me.

I feel like this is overly defensive about not pushing the button, especially after 'wondering what's more suspicious'. Given the fact that scum is naturally more hesitant to push the button, as they don't want to risk losing one of their own, this is suspicious to me.

This post doesn't help either. Neither do the rest of jimmy's posts - they're either defending themselves or chaff. Could be scum trying to lay low.

Either way, my vote is staying where it is.

Calling that jimmy post 'throw shading' is a stretch.

Scum shouldn't be naturally more hesitant to press a button. It hands out PR's. There's nothing 'shady' about not pushing a button. It's not optimal for town, but certainly isn't good for scum considering they could literally roll vig and vig a town PR.

Jimmy defending his weird choice to not press button is expected, if people keep asking about why he's acting weirdly. Jimmy does not seem to be laying low.

There, I've gone over your case and it's poo poo. Hope this helps you develop as a player and a mod.

Look how onset voted bif without casing her to push her to 1 near deadline.

toal, youre seeming much more rational to me the more you post long well reasoned cases. i still dont think yami is scum for thinking what they're thinking, the same as i dont think you're scum for thinking yami and i (and nep? and aa?) are scum. at first u seemed like u jumped to a lot of conclusions that i completely didnt see the connection between, but your point by point posts have made me understand your thought process better. i mean, i still dont think it was reasonable to case me + db + yami super early over one post each, but i do think your late-day arguments are pretty valid. yami's detailed post against you is really convincing too but i think it's more a case of being "not entirely correct" than being scum. i still think its most likely that neither of you two are scum. if you're that terrified of a like 7-man plurality lynch then i'll change my vote to db even tho i have literally no reason to suspect him..... but i'd obviously rather not

Oh idk maybe because it can kill them? And that hurts them far more than town losing a townie?

I am on phone so i cant doublecheck your exact words in the post. The one thing i will give you is that calling it shade throwing may be a bit much. However it segways incredibly awkwardly to response to my poke and makes the response seem self conscious.

As most of the things you wrote in response, your accusation of setting up a chain lynch is bogus. I specifically said that i am willing to entertain the idea of jimmy being town, especially since i already said the jimmy case was fairly weak myself.

As i already said, your push on me is pretty drat suspicious especially considering how you keep trying to pretend its doing things its not. The jimmy case is not a lurker lynch. Its not about the button. It's about jimmys behavior. It is a weak case but its most certainly not fake or poo poo or whatever you claim ot to be.

Speaking about behavior, unlike me, you seem dead set on me being scum and will not accept any other alternative, discussion and facts be damned. That is not town behavior.

Lastly, the last line is really close to a personal attack, and pretty much uncalled for. I recommend you chill out a little bit.

Nice sidestep with reasons that weren't apart of the original post and digging in bif!

Because scum might be giving up the possibility of a plurality lunch, I think that scumteam is probably... Bif, Yami, and DB.

I think Bif interjected to purposefully shift the conversation off of Yami ignoring the definitions of pretty basic mafia terms to try and poke holes in my case.

If Onset is scum he's at least playing with me and I appreciate it but right now it sort of comes across as townie.
