Like "I don't believe he's town, but if he's a tracker, we can verify that. "

ICR has no content today but made sure to chime in weirdly on Steak and then again after a claim was made. Potentially awkward scum not knowing how to interact with the thread.

imo that steak post was entertaining but a huge waste of effort into actually making reads, but it has stimulated a good amount of discussion, +1 town read

eyes sliding off the page reading walls of bif posts but it seems to be coming from the idea that ssv is already scum and then backfitting every single post ssv made into that theory, which is backwards. Maybe there are some accidentally good calls in there idk

This is an odd callout. Do you think Bif is scum?

You've also happily jumped into a pointless general mafia argument because the day vig we have in this game did not end the day, so who gives a gently caress what I think about the general balance of that non-existent role?

I like MMT's early vote on Grandicap that I just didn't read before. I'd like to see SSV's flip before thinking more on Grandicap. It was very weird that he dove head first into Steak's joke/serious thing but nodded that he thought SSV was scum when I asked. He later votes SSV with a case that isn't all that persuasive.

Grandicap posted:

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.




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

my thought on your not very town mindset is basically parallel to this post of yours:

Grandicap posted:

I like Murmur's case on GK. I like it less than the SSV case, but GK rockets up my scumspects. Hal slips to 3, foo is 4.

I still like Sam for scum more (even after the claim) but I thought you putting a ton of effort into a completely useless series of effortposts about someone you think is town was faking content and scummy.

Why would scum want a soft reset? I would think they would want to pounce on directing another lunch choice.

I'm maybe not being clear or I'm just being stupid, but it feels weird having everyone just agree to end the day after the lunch decision is made for us.

it feels like you're hanging back in the cut more than usual, taking pot-shots but not engaging discussion the way you would normally

To be honest, I though Vimes was closer than -3, but there wasn't really much momentum towards anyone else and so it just felt like speeding up the inevitable. Seems dumb, but if you really think it was scum trying to rewrite the narrative why weren't you more into voting Moat than me after it happened?
