When someone has enough votes I can force the issue and make their lynch go thru; I p much said that after I did it. It costs one shine to perform

First off, SSV claimed a Shine role. So limited shots.
Secondly Tracker is an alignment neutral role, so stopping voting for vimes because of it is not really relevant.

See this is how I would have expected a town Moat to answer the question of "did you consider SSV's claim before you pulled the trigger".

Okay, I am looking through the whole hal thing and I am seeing coordination between MMT and King B

The whole back and forth; the callout, the unvote it looks manufactured. MMT is grilling Hal for what I was perceiving as his normal play style and then goes on. The way she is playing reminds me of a game where I caught her as scum because she was taking arguments at their smallest level and fixating on weird stuff without a regard for the poster as a whole. Also, the fact that she was the only one to reread foo at my request and then came back with a lean town result and then when asked why she only quoted stuff that he had posted since I called him out and asked people to reread him.

MMT/Foo/King B scum team

Also King B saying this:


cmon man, it feels like he knows SSVs alignment already

maybe Im :tinfoil:

but hell here we go ##vote mmt

So to be clear, in this scenario, I know SSV's alignment is what?

Ok, still not sure how you got there. But at least I know what you meant.

FWIW, I was literally saying that anyone going after you before the flip was being silly. You are like the definition of someone whose SSV's flip sheds light on. If he's scum, I consider you cleared.

Even if he flips town, I don't know that that says the opposite.

The poker player in me says that if you were town trying to share information, you'dve said "three" instead of "enough" when you were sharing the ability.

Aaaugh I hate the logic that we should wait until SSV flips to vote Moat because I feel fairly confident here but if people think I should table this, I will.

We would rightly feel stupid if we killed Moat and the flips were SSV scum and Moat town. If we are even doing a second cuddle, Moat should be off the table.

Sorry, I know my thought processes make more sense to me than they appear in writing sometime.

I'm specifically accusing Moat of lying about his role, and believe that the lack of detail in his answer (until pressed) is a tell that he's lying.

I understand where you are coming from on it. But I think points 1, 2, and 3 aren't that solid. I've seen Merk play that exact same distracted game as town. I remember thinking to myself that he wasn't playing like he used to, maybe he was scum. He wasn't.

Point 4 though. I really don't understand what that is from Merk. Maybe super defensive scum response? I can see it.

i guess im fine with waiting until vimes flips before we vote out moat, just on the off-chance that he killed scum. even though i highly doubt that's the case...

but whatever. if we lunch someone else today, it shoudn't be hal, and tbh i dont even understand the cases on him despite a ton of effort to case him.

i'd vote mmt for reasons stated by others, or somber for reasons i'll get into later when i want to put in effort

To be clear: you're town, you think I'm scum, and you think my great play as scum was to try to push momentum on someone we'd have more information on tomorrow?

Cmon mmt not a fan of your framing here

He had 4 votes and even after the claim people didn't unvote

If you don't understand why I went for something that I found hilarious then you are intentionally misreading me after playing so many games with me

Please link a post showing something similar, it's possible I've just never seen this or have forgotten.

FOR THE RECORD I am ceding the point that we shouldn't vote Moat until we see SSV's flip.

Bifauxnen posted:

I was replying to your last question, but "someone the scum has to NK" seems pretty shaky to me now that I'm looking at that bit

Its Shine, everyone's probably blowing their load in a night or two. And trackers are easy to dodge, just have your least scummy-lookin scum do the kill. Or your ninja if you got one.

OK "scum has to NK" was a bad word choice, "a claimed role that scum has to play around" is more what I meant. It's a role that, if town, has the ability to out scum if not kept in check.

I can't tell if you're having trouble understanding me or reading me in bad faith.

Partly a joke.

They're not exactly the same situation, but the humorous juxtaposition is meant to have people seriously reflect on whether you were practising what you preached, taking roleclaims into account or letting them at least give you pause

I didn't respond to MMT's case because I did not think additional discussion on it would help me determine her alignment, and I don't really care if someone is casing me anymore. From the work she's done on day 1 here and her ability to actually create a case on me from a 'merk might be scum' type of read, I thought she was more likely town. Thus, I kind of waved it away.

She's asked me to respond, so I will:

Murmur Twin posted:

My case against you comes down to a few things:

1. Typically, I remember Town Merk as being tunnel-y with a strong ratio of casework : other chat. Merk in this game is very conversational, talking about mechanics, and moving targets frequently.

I have changed a lot as a player and am constantly trying to change. This point feels genuine of you to me because we haven't played together in awhile.

quote:

2. I think Hal seems obviously scummy, and you've agreed on paper with the suspicion. But there's no follow-up on Hal - instead, Merk seems like he's strongly trying to land the vote anywhere other than Hal.

My issue with Hal is that I almost always think Hal is scum. I am trying very hard to not vote Hal. This, again, feels genuine of you to me because it is odd that I've nodded at Hal being scum and then ignored it.

quote:

My early vote on Grandicap was made very early in the game, and my mind changed almost immediately after Grandi started posting more. So it's very suspicious to me that Merk would quote it later on in the game as a "good post" and imply that he thinks that there's merit to it. I think it's a fake opinion.

I don't really remember what happened here. I have some large concerns over Grandicap as I've said before. When I saw your post, I thought it was a good point. I'm not sure whether I looked at your later context to see that your thoughts changed.

quote:

4. What town player thinks like this? This is a huge OMGUS, there is no reason for Merk to think Somber's post was scummy even if he disagreed with Somber's read.

You are missing some context here or maybe my point isn't obvious:

Somberbrero posted:

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

merk posted:

I was the first to case SSV and SSV died.

##vote somb

Somb thinks I'm scummy because I'm "hanging back in cut more than usual," and I am refuting that point by showing that a case I made got SSV killed. I'm clearly scum hunting when my biggest case of the day ends up getting someone lynched. It's not an OMGUS from me.

Now that I've gone through this exercise, MMT failing to appreciate that last point's context is kind of scummy. A quick, surface read of me would get you to where she came out - failing to actually try to get behind the intent of a post is scummy. This, however, very well could've just been a tack-on point from MMT. On balance, I think MMT is probably town... but I'll read again to make sure that is right.

On what to do right now, we should no lynch and see this flip. For example, votes against Moat do not make any sense without SSV's flip.

the statement that Hal Got voted because it was a "here and present but not doing anything post" is true

are you really acting like this post isn't an obvious misrepresentation:

Hal Incandenza posted:

I would probably vote any of the four people who are accusing me of being scum for encouraging grandi to keep up entertaining stream of consciousness posting.

I have encouraged the exact same thing of grandi in the last game we played together and basically to anyone who has ever done it.

What a weird thing to call out. Are people here that averse to entertaining posting styles?

The only justification to lynch Moat today is: 1) you are sure SSV flips town; 2) you do not think we will have >1 lynch tomorrow; and 3) you're super worried that scum Moat can do something super bad tonight.

All of those things have to be in your mind set to lynch Moat right now.
