RF is consistently unhelpful and super scummy in every single game I've ever played with him. I will vote him until he flips scum.

With regards to Sal, the response to my question was super defensive. But it's sal so ya know.


lol hmm

This is a bad post. RF posts less than some other high volume posters but he generally has some good insight. Also if he does this regardless of alignment, voting him for it is a bizarre takeaway, unless this is some kind of policy vote?

btw if I end up dead tomorrow I'm still suss on Sal too and hope y'all who had him as next on your list keep the faith

Also still can't totally shake the "Sandwolf doesn't make this much sense as town" paranoia, but obviously disregard this if Spoonsy flips scum

I wonder if this post got bif killed. Either by Sal-scum forces or by people who wanted to frame Sal.

Interesting that the scum team chose an active poster, but not the most active poster. Did people have a general town read on Bif? I felt pretty neutral on her.

I think bif hunts scum with the best of them, and that's what got her killed. But it's worth digging into her posts further.

You are doubling down on a bad post - that post you're quoting is from early D1, and as we actually got closer to the deadline, I said very clearly that I'd vote to avoid a no-lynch and explained why. I quoted and bolded the relevant parts even, and you are still pretending like those other posts never happened. Weird.

##vote SalTheBard

Ugh, this is awkward. Again, Sal was correctly pointing out that you changed your opinion after being called out on it. It feels like you desperately want to get on board the Sal lunch, but have to overexplain your reason for voting, because you're self conscious about it.

Honestly my current tinfoil theory is that Sal is town, JC is scum, and JC is pushing his theories in mason chat and Sal has bought in.

This post is kind of insulting. You are acting like I'm not capable of my own thoughts and that everything I'm thinking is JC's idea. I can't reiterate this point enough, I don't really talk game in unconfirmed masonries. Have JC and I talked game? Of course we have, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to other stuff we've talked about.

you guys keep obliquely and obtusely referring to things coming together or happening in your masonry, then they never get clarified or even brought up in thread, and then we move on to another topic. I’m honestly leaning towards them both being scum.

JC constantly says the masonry is like x, followed immediately by Sal clarifying that that’s not true, but also, JC isn’t scummy because Sal doesn’t take unconfirmed masonries too seriously.

I left my phone on a long thread I was reading in the SA mobile app and didn't realize this had reopened.

Right now Sal seems defensive but I feel like we're about to start the death spiral of Sal gets heat-Sal gets defensive-people vote Sal for being defensive and I think that's alignment neutral for Sal.

I’m petrified of this too, to be totally honest. But Sal usually goes into full blown “gently caress you how dare you think I’m scum” and he doesn’t seem to be there yet. But I would take almost no compelling to vote for either of them right now.

I think you took it differently than I meant it. I wasn't saying JC is a dark manipulator and you're an innocent wide eyed child. But when you talk to someone outside the game, their POV starts to influence yours.

You two are very in synch, but curiously reluctant to talk about how or why you got on the same page, or even why you suspect some of the people that you do. When pressed, you insist you haven't talked that much about the game, yet your reads keep aligning. It's odd from an outside perspective. I think we're trying to understand better what's going on.

I mean maybe we are in synch because we both view the game the same way (vocal scum railroading over town). It's possible we are both town and have similar reads

At what point did I say I don't think JC is scummy because I don't take masonries seriously? JC could easily be scum, which is why I'm not having super in depth game conversations with him because if he is scum I don't want him influencing how I feel. If anything I feel I've been very loving consistent on this point. As for how correcting JC's comments? We are both talking about things from our perspectives. JC could take my silence on game talk as me being hedgy whereas I view it was not wanting to get sucked into a masonry by a scum player. It's all a matter of perspective.

I also don't feel like it's JC and I's job to report back to the thread everything we talk about either.

However in openness here is our discussion today:

4:20 Am - Cena - I'm suss on Sci and Sandwolf, I'm more suss on Sandwolf than Humalong

5:52 AM - We discuss Sci's case on JC and I thought it seemed like a weak case, we agreed

##Vote JC

5:52 AM (continued) - 6:04 AM- Cena sent me a bunch of messages about the game, I told him that I was really tired and that I would get back with him later when I was more awake

3:50 PM - We both talk about our general frustration with the game in general

3:51 PM - We haven't talked since

because its a lot of the way he's structuring his "cases" are with the presumption of the person he's naming already being scum and just trying to get to a lunch destination than actually look for scum. it feels like its done in bad faith. same as sci but he did this as town too so sci is possibly just a stupid tunnelling rear end in a top hat like he usually is, but a lot of the way he's trying to set up "reasons" for me being scum are also structured in such a way that any possible town tells i might have or any accurate reads i've had can be handwaved away with "well he was scum of course he wasnt going to be happy with a spoonsy lunch but he went along with it anyway", when he deliberately overlooks the fact that at the time i voted, the thread was very slow, there was no momentum on tpink the only other option for a lunch, so it puts you in a hosed if you do hosed if you don't situation. i voted spoons when he was -3 but i wasnt happy with the speed in which people jumped on him for what was in all admission a bad post.

The earlier series of posts where Sal misrepresents Tpink’s deadline posting and tries to claim that his early D1 posts invalidate the very clear “I am here, I’ll vote to hammer” are really damning

This is the only thing I didn't like about Sal today. Otherwise his reaction & frustration feels genuine to me so far at face

Maybe I'm more trusting of mason claims than I should be but I think I can remember maybe one game I was in where someone in an unconfirmed masonry was scum

im doing it not out of martyrdom but because i feel as long as i exist in this game, any argument i put forth is going to just get ripped apart by scum, which going by capnandy gambit is probably the better players in this game, some segment of sand (definitely) hal (most likely) sci (most likely) hum (most likely) and siv (probably). taking my piece off the chessboard takes away a tool they can use to distract the town. if sal lives, he shares a lot of the same beliefs i do in where the scum is and would probably have more agency and credibility to argue than i would. im kind of checked out playing with a town thats just taking a nap and not trying, so if they aren't then im not gonna fight for them.
