icr hasn't done anything yet but has been around to comment on stuff, i will assign them two(2) scumbo points for this. three more and he can redeem them at the prize counter for a free lunch.

i'm thinkin' about hal. his frustration feels genuine, but that could really go either way at this point. im kind of weirded out by the last couple interactions we have bc i don't really understand why a townie would make them. like, comment on the tracker thing, don't just ask me to clarify my point right? i feel like throwing out questions like that is a good way to generate content as scum. i feel kinda bad but i think i'm comfortable leaving my vote on hal for now.

I did comment on it right after, but it's such a meh claim that there isn't much to say about it. Which is exactly why I asked you because you phrased it as if something about the claim was inherently scummy and I wanted you to explain that better.

my take was very similar to somberbrero's, that it was a claim that doesn't really ring as Definitely Town

How do you feel about MMT now that she posted more? I didn't really like the GK case, it felt very generic like a mafia case template with some buzzwords thrown in and names filled into the blanks

something about this post bugs me, i think it's the "posted more" in reaction to a single post

Well the original callout on her (which admittedly was by KB and not somber) was when she had only posted once. She did post a few other things this morning before the GK case later today.

##vote GK


He doesn't read like someone who doesn't know Grandi's alignment. He claims to have a town read there (why?), and then when he points out something scummy, he frames it as "town but bad" without making a case.


Beyond that, I feel like his reads on other people are very surface-level: his vote is on SSV for a "manufactured" post, and then he basically comments on a bunch of posts without really following up on anything.

ah, i was reading it more as an immediate reaction to this post

Well that IS what called my attention to it, but she had also made a pretty meh grandi case earlier and tossed some driveby suspicion on me to add on to the earlier stuff from KB/somber that was pretty weak coming after the original callout by KB

Really I should be pressing KB more on this since he didn't mention her again today even though she had more content and specifically defended him but somber was around so that's why I asked him.

I'm really curious what you mean by this Bif. I've definitely been goofing off more than usual because i'm having fun, but I don't understand the point you're making re: sizzle. Can you provide some examples and connect them to your point?

Was there more to that? I felt like there was more to that earlier, but that might have just been a result of reading on mobile.

The beans and rice post was an example. Just how you're getting in a lot of quirky tone in a lot of your posts that seems to stand out more than your content itself at times.

Having a fun tone to your posts doesn't hurt on its own which is why I only had super vague feelings about it at first, but when you bothered to say Steak was all about the sizzle I thought it was funny cause it summed you up way better.

WRT Vime's claim. Doesn't everyone have a shine power? Tracker is not indicative of alignment at all? If they are scum, they can just track a person that isn't going to do the kill, report the results and ride town cred because town love claimed power roles, whether or not they are indicative of alignment at all.

Of course not, but I historically see town shy away from lunching claimed powerroles. Whether or not the claim has any bearing on their alignment. So it isn't impossible, and if there is a better target, point me at them, but that claim is not dissuading me in the slightest.

I'm still assessing. She hasn't sold me yet. I'd rather not go after her if I don't have to since we sometimes fight in mafia games in an unproductive way.

When she makes posts, they are very MMT town seeming, but there is something I can't put my finger on that is throwing me off. It might be how they keep jumping around with no update on her previous opinions/reads? Like she continues to try to find the thing that people will jump onto?

I'm not sure I'm fully following the GK case.

Murmur Twin posted:

Like, can you clarify here? Are you saying GK has a town read of Grandi that is unjustified? Can you quote where that is happening? I just spent some time going through his posts to try and see where this part is coming from and I just am not seeing it.

If I had to give you GK's alignment calls based on the last few posts he made, this is what it looks like to me:

He thinks SSV is scum.
He is lean scum on Steak(worried that his recent posts are coming from too town a perspective to be scum like he thought originally, but not fully convinced).
He is lean scum on Hal.
He is lean scum on Foo.
He is starting to lean scum on Grandi, where he was maybe null before.

Like I'm assuming, your quotes are supposed to be where it is happening, but I'm seeing something vastly different then you are, there. I can go through those posts with my own translation if you think it will be helpful.

I don't want to undercut your questioning of MMT, but the way I read the case was that GK thought my steak stuff wasn't adding to scum hunting and was largely worthless. And then said I was bad town for it.
The part about me being town was a baseline for GK. The only way to come at it from that angle was that GK knew my alignment because he is a scum.

George Kansas posted:

Yeah I agree with this and I had largely the same reaction to that post that you did. I find the suspicion of you re: your reaction to steak's post weird! Though I'm not sure I find it scummy.

George Kansas posted:

he has made it clear he doesn't think steak is scum, which i think is very funny. i wasn't suspicious of grandi before but i don't think it's very town mindset to make such detailed effortposts about someone you don't think is scum

George Kansas posted:

page 73 of my treatise on why a player whomst i believe to be town, is bad

But no followup on actual suspicion of me for my not very town mindset. I can see it.

No it's fine, you also agreed with the case, so I was also curious if this post would get you to comment.

Won't bother requoting since your post is still right there.

My interpretation of the first post you quoted: "I agreed with Grandi's initial reaction to Steak's post and found the reactions to Grandi's reaction weird, but not necessarily scummy" -- There is no alignment call here that I can see. If anything, it is Null, since GK doesn't think people going after Grandi for it are scummy.

second post you quoted: "Grandi has made it very clear he thinks Steak is town. This has led me to lean a bit scum on Grandi, since what town would spend this much effort calling out bad town?" -- Alignment call here is Grandi, lean scum.

Third post you quoted: "I'm now making fun of Grandi, to emphasize my point. This is what Grandi would say." -- Alignment call here is still Grandi, lean scum.

---

So we partly seem to agree on this read. In that we both think GK thinks you were bad for this. But where do you get that he thinks you are bad TOWN?

Grandicap
Feb 8, 2006

I guess it's the "not very town" mindset part. That's as negative as he gets. Initial post is "I'm not sure I find it scummy".
He is not calling me not town. It feels like he is giving me a wristslap for engaging in not town behavior, rather than not being town.

Yeah, you know what, if the case is that GK is being very cautious about making it explicit what he thinks your actual alignment is, that is a case I could get behind. I read it as him throwing shade your way, but it was very light.

I'm curious what he has to say to all this.

Not a fan of throwing out takes without giving actual reasoning for doing so, just makes you look like you have opinions without any actual work or reading.

Also, acting all surprised about me claiming seems checks notes for the new meta "performative" seeing as it's pretty obvious that I claimed because I'm 4/7 of the way to a hang.

I agree with Vimes here. It might have been like 1 vote too early for a claim, but it wasn't absurd. The problem is that the claim is not indicative of alignment. But the action of claiming made a whole lotta sense.
