Yeah seriously if we somehow NL three days in a row I'm going to start pushing the "mass town suicide" thing hard because gently caress.

I think I have thought AA was scum in every game I've been in with him, so my judgment there is bad but I'm happy to see if this is the one where my gut is right

Jen X posted:

I have no idea how to interpret AA's...not a full meltdown, really, more of a slow, low dribble

but regardless, proclamations of this being his town game aside (and, like, is it? binus, at least back the claim, I'm pinging you as town because you get super irritated when poked as town in my experience w/you, if you have a read on the guy please explain further), I'm...still fine with the kill? He refuses to pay into the lowtax spine fund and get an avatar that doesn't proclaim his shameful defeat, and that's the sign of a man who has accepted death

and maybe more relevantly, giving up but not self-hammering is null, self-hammering is bad practice

Mr. Humalong posted:

so you think the biggest two lurkers, one of which replaced out day 3, are both scum?

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

My reasoning for Sega Genesis is simple, she isn't actually committed to her vote beyond that she doesn't really enjoy playing with me. She's demonstrated clearly in her posts that she doesn't necessarily believe me to be scum, and even goes so far to list two scum candidates, while leaving me as some wildcard.

Her posts are blatantly against the spirit of the game, and grossly lack conviction.

As someone who loves poo poo posting, I gotta say this looks bad and would look bad if it were directed at any of the living players.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

eh maybe pig was town, and gulag is just gulag. I'm getting bad ~vibes~ from Humalong right now.

Mr. Humalong posted:

ok so you are more sure of the lurker jen than you are of the poster that spent deadline day 1 flip flopping between you and a now-confirmed town, made a weird hedging post about it day 2, and has come in with a bunch of drive by votes since then

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

This is a weird way of tossing shade without actually contributing something, and I would like you to answer earnestly what content you think Jen provided following her return.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

whooooaa lol, anyone ANYONE, everyone.... EVERYONE stop responding to humalong and read his post history in this game. Let him bark into the void while you analyze that heaping pile of steaming doo.

I'm going to vote Hum or Jen today. I'd like you to do the same.

spacing in vienna posted:

I'm going to be on at deadline. Haven't missed one yet. I didn't vote on the steak/AA mess because both of them are (were?) at -1 with like 24 hours to go. If I can get some traction onto b-, fantastic. If not, I'll switch.

spacing in vienna posted:

You know what would be more helpful than "bump"? Answering any of the direct questions that people have asked you. Admitting you were wrong, in your huge post about me. Acknowledging that you just misquoted steak. Literally anything other than the word "bump."

You know what would be more helpful than a vote with no context? Literally any context. Admitting that your vote is lovely. Acknowledging that your vote is by and large unsubstantiated and obfuscatory. Literally anything other than a no context vote.

Mikujin posted:

That said, I still think Mr. Steak is the best candidate for the day. The fact that their only real posts of substance have come out on deadline day of Day 3 when they are one of two front-runners for lynching convince me more that they're scum than town, to be frank.

Mr. Humalong posted:

This is a very scummy turn from you after you said you were "giving up" on the game

Mr. Steak posted:

drat, now idk which one of you to agree with. i love both of those votes. i think i'll go with this.

##vote jen

Mikujin posted:

"Hell yeah let's vote anyone whose not me."

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

but if we're going to get serious about this. Off SiV, maybe mush or gulag. I'm beginning to feel a slap fight with Miku. Just a bit.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

This is why I think mush is town lmao. I am legitimately cracked up by that vote.

cuz taking my vote off aa and making myself the vote leader is definitely that.....

Mr. Steak posted:

i wasn't really into the game before. being on the chopping block sure heats things up tho.

Mikujin posted:

Are you voting b-minus1 specifically because of the interaction with Steak? If so, it seems extremely misguided and un-loving-productive. This late in the day, this close to deadline, you'd best be coming up with a more substantial reason to sway anyone to such a vote, or you're just providing distraction.

I know I've previously voiced that, by and large, b-minus1 comes across town (if a bit misguided at times). I need something more compelling than the nit-picky poo poo you quoted - because otherwise this does feel like you being intentionally distracting.

Mikujin posted:

spacing in vienna posted:

Not just because of steak. For plenty of reasons, none of which I consider nitpicky.

1 - b- has ducked several direct questions, from me, from other players. He can post up a storm but somehow not get around to answering.

2 - b- is straight up misquoting and lying to make his cases. He misquoted steak -- ok, maybe that was just going fast -- but he also said a couple of pages ago that steak and I never directly interacted. Which is BS, because I know we had a back and forth at least once about the vote fuckery. I pointed out that he was either skimming or fudging, and he ... Ignored that post, like he does all the other direct questions.

3 - his case on steak is "I bet scum thought tomm was a cop, since tomm voted for steak." I asked him what about tomm's vote jumped out at him as special -- several people voted steak D2, why would tomm be the one that scum would peg as cop? That wasn't shade; that was a legitimate question, because it's possible b- saw something about the way tomm voted that was different from the other pushes on steak D2. But I wouldn't know because this is yet another question he won't answer.

It's frustrating and it's starting to feel like deliberate obfuscation, so I voted. You don't see the case, fine, then don't vote. I'm not under the delusion that I can sway everyone in the next several hours -- that'd be great, but town can't seem to find its rear end with both hands this game, so I'm not expecting people to even show up for deadline. As I said, I'll switch by deadline to ensure we don't NL, but I'm not going to ignore scumminess just because that person isn't the vote leader.

Mr. Steak posted:

the jen vote only got a tiny bit of traction BECAUSE of me lol

Mr. Humalong posted:

spacing in vienna posted:

Wait, why? If someone was giving up on the game, and now isn't, why is that in and of itself scummy?

Mr. Humalong posted:

because he's gone from giving up to naming nearly every other player as possible scum and flooding the thread

if AA isn't scum then he's actively muddying the waters

Mr. Humalong posted:

binus is an extremely stubborn player who routinely refuses to engage with the game beyond quoting effortposts about him and replying with "lol"

You are never going to get effort from him unless he wants to provide it.

spacing in vienna posted:

OH. Okay, I thought you were implying somehow that it was the act of contributing after he had decided to give up that was scummy, not the scattershot approach to it, and I was confused on that one.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

Only I haven't had a scattershot approach, that's a misrepresentation.

Mr. Humalong posted:

people I wouldn't vote today:

Miku - good effort, logical picks
binus - generally his scum meta is to lurk the gently caress out and he hasn't done that this game
siv - good effort, slightly less logical picks than miku but that's fine
gulag - I literally cannot ever read gulag and usually hope and pray someone else can
myself - I'm town and the detective

That leaves AA, Hal, Jen, PMush, Steak, and OMG.

AA - has gone from hard lurking to defeatist attitude to slinging everything but the kitchen sink at the wall to see what will stick. usually I can discern some sort of logical thread from AA's playing but this game it's been like reading the scribbled ramblings of a madman, called his argument with Miku a "town slap-fight"
Hal - hard lurking, general Hal-ness
Jen - hard lurking, has posted some content which looked a lot better the first time I read it than the second, refuses to engage with the game
PMush - stubborn fixation on AA, called two people arguing a "town slap-fight"
Steak - frantic flip-flopping at deadline day 1, weird apology post at start of day 2, drive-by votes that seem suspicious, claims to have not been engaged with the game until like 20 minutes ago
OMG - gonna be honest I can't recall a single post of OMG's that sticks out to me. will reread
