I honestly dont have much more to contribute. I dont know that I completely believe squiggles to be scum, but I think their play looks the worst from a non aggro point. They call out several players and demonstrate marginal conviction packaged in abrasive enthusiasm

Anyone else feel like weighing in?

From the receiving end point of view: Squiggly dismissed my arguments without addressing them. That's bad in any event. But also, for the last couple of years I've done most of my Mafia playing on BGG where plurality lynch is the norm. I've learned how much more important it is to track the votes in games where you can easily be lynched with only three people on you.

He also started in on how I didn't vote for Moritz. While I think that Amalgam can't be scum unless Moritz is, it doesn't follow that Amalgam is scum if Moritz is. There's nothing to gain from lynching Moritz without an additional reason to suspect him, and I don't have that yet.

##vote squiggles

outside of that first vote on me, I think the rest of their play is not good with the buckshot aggression coming across as suspicious.

You can hate me for being an rear end in a top hat but this is a bad bandwagon vote

Suspicious because...?

...because two other people discussed my actions and you want to get in ground floor if they vote me?

It seems like you plugged in some key words that make sense in the context of everyone's posts but not really solely on their own

Already my number one pick!

It's like you missed the whole point of my post

If A than B, if B than C is a wishy washy junk argument that means absolutely nothing because no one but scum know if A is town or scum

It looks like content but isn't really because there is nothing behind it and there is still no vote laid down by you. Just "I don't think this person is scum because of this unlikely chain of events"

It's bad logic however you look at it

honestly I dont like that argument because it sets up both AA and me as scum on flips. I mean, I won't lie and I was kinda thinking of voting AA but then I got to thinking, why?

if AA flips town then people are gonna be suspicious on me based on messy logic and I'm not a fan of that.

You're making connections I did not explicitly state and faulty ones at that

Your second assertion is a little bit more on the mark. I find your transitive property post as one of those scummy non helpful but look I'm posting posts.

It's scummy on its own, not in relation to AA

It seems like you are not a fan of me because however AA flips, your post is a bad post. Hence why I called it out in the first place as A Bad Post

I addressed the suspicion prior to the vote.

Sorry all, I've still been lurking legitimately. Not sure how I feel about the game state, but also don't know too much abou twha'ts going on currently.


I did like this vote, I thought it was indicative of town motivations even if wrong


Hmmm, I probably would have shot Jedit at the time, might still would.


I don't like this post though, and the banter with Sal is also less than great.

Could be the aggressive playstyle of a maf grog coming into contemporary maf moods. perhaps perhaps, but looks kinda lovely and they were harping jedit, my main target of suspicion with the hypothetical game theory remark. granted we both may have some bias here. Jedit pardoning me while I've been casing him :thunk: and coming at squiggles.... hmmm

Yeah, gently caress you because I explained the full chain of events - by which I mean, the three possibilities that exist if you can count to two.

That is a very OMGUS vote but I can't really blame them for it. I'm not voting for you because I can't see scum being so aggressive. I'm super busy at work so I won't really be able to post much between now and 645p

You can call it OMGUS if you want, but take a look at how he's responding to confrontation. He's made no attempt to address the question of where I should think the scum are, if not between Squiggly/Hal and Sober/Moritz.

A.) You never posed a question

B ) You made a game theory post about how many scum there might be

C.) You made a long winded hypothetical post tying a bunch of people together

D.) Your big conclusion was "this person is probably town UNLESS this person is scum" still tying people together for chain lynches

E.) You vote nobody

F.) You invent some bullshit about how I should tell you where to look for scum instead of scum hunting yourself and act like that's a plausible reason to vote for someone

I didn't think I needed to spell it out to that degree because I assumed the rest of you were semi competent and could see why that post was A Bad Post™ but hey my bad I guess

Pretty sure now is when I convince myself I'm right. I'd vote jedit but I still think AA is scum too

Why is being aggressive suspicious

What about that makes me scummy

These are unexplained questions that would help justify your vote or anything else really. Looks like you were trying to call me town to see if I'd back off but now that I'm not going to you figured might as well shoot for the lynch

You and squiggles both do these scum excuses based on optimal play, and subjective scum play. I dont think it's good and makes you both look worse for it.

I tend to think you really believe that but believe it or not in the old days there were lots of people who were very aggressive scum. You would run away from a game that had a scum team of like Chili, Dhaes, LiterallyMadIRL and TheRam
