It's pretty lovely to imply that JC and I not voting how Humalong wants us to makes us loving piss babies. You are allowed to vote how you loving want. If you want to discuss your vote calling people names is not the loving way to do it.

If being called a pissbaby bothers you that much, I think you’re the one who is reacting badly and needs to walk away and calm down.

Hum, If you want to discuss my vote that's fine. All I'm asking is for a little courtesy. I'm voting you because I feel your actions at the end of D1 were suspicious to me. That is my reason for voting you. If there is someone else more suspicious I would be more than happy to look that way and change my vote as necessary.

It’s bad because it doesn’t seem like it’s trying to convince anyone, it doesn’t appear like you actually want Hum lunched, you just have to have some read today so you’re doubling down on it being made up.

Also, a lot of people are providing reasoning for their votes, so this just feels like you’re tryna draw attention other places. If you feel another player is making votes without any reasoning and it’s scummy, call them out.

Honestly rn I think he’s taking the chance to obfuscate his normal scumtell by trying the same thing as town

this was what initially pinged me to sandwolf. because at the time bif is going on me hard it might appear momentum could go my way day one, so it looks like he's essentially saying here, "hey, he's doing the same scummy thing he did last game, but let me spin a perspective here that implies i think he might be town". it feels like he's laying groundwork down to lunch me and wash his hands of the situation after i'd flip townie.

Sandwolf posted:

I’m trying to think you’re town here Bif, because I do think this is your town game, but you are really creating negative motives to fit my actions.

he appears upset bif is doing to him what he did to me.

Sandwolf posted:

come on, let's lunch Spoonsy


Sandwolf posted:

We can lunch Spoonsy and make everyone happy!!

he really wants spoonsy.

Sandwolf posted:

Okay Bif here you go:

Spoonsy has been scum a bunch recently and he survives through D1 under very similar circumstances. That coupled with his brief statements (aware of the game but not commenting on anything, not taking any stances, purposefully saying he’s flaunting the game til deadline day?) just make me feel more okay with lunching him. Do I know he’s scum? No, but nothing else has particularly stuck out to me today (except you, tbf, Bif, but that seems to be p standard for us).

RF, similarly, has been lunched I think D1 or D2 every game I’ve played with them recently? And so far this seems pretty boilerplate Opop. I don’t think he’s confirmed town that was a joke but yeah I have no interest in lunching him before D3

being fair, this is actually a good reason to lunch spoons. it eliminates a question mark that would probably permeate throughout the whole game if left alive, ironically the same position i am in. the best move if you aren't taking down someone you're positive is scum? eliminate a question mark.

Sandwolf posted:

Still kinda hard to secure this Spoonsy lunch though. Deadline is in an hour and we’re still waltzing along here.

he's still the main driver for the lunch.

Sandwolf posted:

I’m not 100% Spoonsy is scum but I think this has been a great EOD for analyzing people regardless of his flip, it’s also a half hour before deadline

he has doubts before the flip which is understandable, i certainly did, and claims this is a good EOD to analyze how other players fall in line after the flip.

Sandwolf posted:

This is the second time you’ve called Cena out for not reflecting the masonry properly and yet you don’t think he’s scum?

here he tries to put the focus on me and sal's masonry but frames his question to sal in a way to try to cause further distrust and split people who might be putting pieces together. the motive behind this post was the smoking gun for me when it comes to sandwolf. town wouldn't frame a question this way.

v

he does a lot of deflecting when sal tries to bring his points to the table about humalong, which raises an eyebrow for me as well.

Sandwolf posted:

I still don’t feel you’ve made any salient case on Hum yet though really

Sandwolf posted:

Sal, this does look like floundering. You’re not pointing to anyone as scum, you’re just vaguely gesturing to the whole as following a scum-led narrative.

##vote Sal

here he's just straight up discrediting and trying to wave away sal's case. he's not engaging. he's not exploring hum at all, but not posting reasons why he thinks hum might be town. this to me points to a relationship in the game the two are aware of. its the INTENT behind posts in what i look for.

Sandwolf posted:

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.

he gets frustrated that we've stopped airing our laundry (and there hasnt been very much in the past day, food poisoning sucks rear end) in the game thread and in the same sentence decides to take another swipe at sal's credibility. like, if sal and i have had different perspectives on how the masonry is playing out, why would we air it publicly in the thread if we were both scum. that's just stupid. im a moron but even im not that dumb.

Sandwolf posted:

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.

before he starts needling sal to get sal to blow up, he drops this line about sal's observed meta. he also just quietly adds it would be really easy to vote for either myself or sal.

Sandwolf posted:

I was called emotionally manipulative in the last game I was in Sal, I think you can deal with “pissbaby”

needles sal, but is through intent and not outward verbal support, is defending humalong's play (which is lovely from a personal perspective). he continues throughout the thread to not directly interact with humalong but their conversations run parallel with each other. he never outwardly defends humalong but when sal talks about humalong he tries to deflect the conversation then take stabs at Sal's credibility.


there's more but the thread got ugly after this point and im not feeling up to engaging with it.




that is my case on sandwolf. i request all votes are either on himself or myself. i want to make it very, very clear i also suspect humalong, as is evident in the above post. but sandwolf is the target i want today. removing sandwolf in my opinion takes a major player for scum off of the board. just the same, voting for me will in fact clear me and kill the "sal and cena are jointed scum" narrative that was attempted to be pushed. it removes a figure that causes doubt and, if sci is town which i doubt, it forces him to read someone else for chrissakes. i also point to hal incandenza's sheepishness and non-interactivity with humalong and sandwolf as something to observe. i don't know if he's scum but it is something i find worthy of looking into down the line. if the vote goes on me, i am absolutely fine with it and will not fight it. i strongly, strongly advise you though to vote for sandwolf as i will do right now. you can say cena's being performative, he's putting it on, whatever, but it isn't the case. i am very much at peace with being voted and flipping town. i encourage it if you don't want to vote for sandwolf. now if you'll excuse me i need fluids and napping.

sal was being cagey and short in the masonry which made me think he was speaking to me potentially only after conferring with fellow scum, but he explained he was at work and busy all day which I can accept for now. my paranoia is a little high this game. I think bif is town, I'm willing to believe sal is town for now. I'm still unsure of anyone else. I'm reading osely but on day one it's tough to gauge.

JOHN CENA posted:

it was more of a one sided conversation though.

JOHN CENA posted:

whenever we talk about anything that isn't the game the conversation carries fine but i've had to pull teeth to get more than a sentence out of him when i post my reads and ask for his thoughts/poll him on his reads.

I mean this is just not true. People, including myself, explained why they are voting for you. If you disagree, fine, explain why you disagree and we'll engage in a discussion. But this is just trying to hand-wave votes away with zero explanation. I told you why I was voting you - I read your posts as completely misrepresenting what I did on D1 and particularly toward the end - and you didn't really offer anything in response.

And I also completely agree with Sci's comment that asking you to explain your drat votes / opposition to votes is not asking for the sky, nor is that singling you out unfairly.

You are still playing the victim card. You are not being singled out. Here's my post specifically calling out RF for not explaining that vote.

tpink posted:

That's kind of an unhelpful response to say the least. If you're going to vote for someone, it doesn't do much good if you don't even bother explaining why.

As to my vote, I stand by what I said - you were misrepresenting what I did D1, I quoted my posts indicating otherwise, and your only response now is that I didn't quote "the post in question." That's BS - the post in question (that I wouldn't vote on D1 absent a scum slip) was well before my later posts where I specifically said that I will vote to avoid a no-lynch and explained why. You didn't engage with that explanation then, and you're still not engaging with it.

You just keep trying to construct this counter-factual narrative that you are being singled out and that no one else gets called out for not justifying their votes, and it's just not true.

I dunno, we have like pages and pages of content on JC and Sal and Hum and Sandwolf and only a few hard calls on Cheese. I'd rather we sort out JC and Sal.

Of them I think Sal has been handwaving away the fact that his original reasoning was full of holes and seemed artificial, by not responding to comments involving that. I think the shift to Cheese has been fairly easy and it makes me suspicious on that count, but idk I don't have a strong cheese comment. I think cheese made a town read on me which was weird because I haven't said much this entire game.

I don't get SIV's vote on cheese with no reasoning, putting him as a vote leader with no content for when he flips whatever.
