For day 1, picking someone who isn't a front runner, and then voting them on a gut feel near end of day is almost a sure fire way to catch scum. I don't thin momentum builds up gradually on scum over the course of a day, at least not usually.

You and I have very different definitions of slam dunk

Back to gamechat: I didn't like that initial SNG post but since then he's drifted closer to a town read for me, plus there's a couple people on the vote for him that have me going "mmmmmmm nah mate" that I don't want to have him be the vote for today.

##vote DGK I like DGK for scum of the 4 people with 2 votes. Day 1, no super strong reads, yada yada

Toalpaz posted:

Hum. I trust you and clearly town don't care about my wonderful Sci argument. ##vote DGK

To be clear, I am not calling sci out for thinking amni and sng are scum. I'm calling him out because his arguments don't track as someone who was very suspicious of amnistar and then suddenly voting with amnistar in the same day. It reeks of scum mind because scum forget what it is like to be suspicious of someone, with that kind of read he should have assumed amnistar was making an easy case on town. Instead he votes with amni, with very little explanation. Because he's scum and his read of amni was faked.

For further reading please see this helpful mafia wiki article.

I'm not voting sci because he said disingenuous rarity, I'm voting based on my case. I just hate it when people attack a poster's mindset because it's lovely and he did a lot of that as scum last game too.

Its 2:30am cause I'm a dickhead and got distracted watching YouTube and didn't notice the time so I am super ultra going to bed after this post.

Thank you for your above post Bif. You are of course right that meta doesn't have to be the only thing commented on during D1. I concede I am being a bit overwhelmed by the multitude of meta plays that go straight over my head, and as such I am being very lazy about taking approaches other than showing contempt for the thing I don't get.

That being said the last post in the thread as I write this is the below snipped post from Toalpaz which is actually similar to a tactic I've used in a few Werewolf games with friends:


So yes I could have been less of a deadshit.

However it is still like 2:30am and I really need to sleep so I will at least tie the vote as it stands between DGK and sandnavyguy (currently 4 for DGK and 5 for sandnavyguy before this post goes up) and let the rest of the people who do the non-Aus/pre-work posts to drop the hammer. Sorry I will put a bit more effort into D1's in future games and whinge less about the meta.

##vote DGK2000

here are the five votes on DGK, the only ones even attempting to justify it are Hum and Toal and neither are particularly good, Hum at least bothers to throw a D1 caveat in there and so his is the least lovely vote IMO but nobody has really explained an actual case on DGK, even if it's thin

I don’t think SNG disappearing once other people got attention is in ANY way proof of his towniness. If you’ve come to that conclusion I think you need to reassess.

I didn’t disappear I went to sleep. And to say I’m lurking when I’ve been posting consistently is ridiculous.

Though I can’t win for trying apparently, if I post I’m screwed if I don’t I’m screwed yall will case me either way so I’m taking Hum’s mafia caddying to heart and just post my scum read.

I think both DGK and Gridlock are scum.

DGK sure cases have been thin, but their posting pattern has been lurking and then white noise, and the vote on me is opportunistic. They had nothing to add to the discussion but jumped onboard the vote leader for easy town clout.

Gridlock’s recent posts are the most blatant scum posts I’ve ever seen, and

Sorry if you're town bud but rest assured I will go after your murders, minus myself for as long as possible, to avenge your death when you inevitably flip town.

I literally have given a bunch of opinions and he wants to call them white noise after his faux breakdown about himself getting lunched.

He can't vote for me because his other scum mates already are and he wants to differentiate himself. Calling the whole team now as Gaspy, Gridlocked, SNG and Toalpaz.

I mean, I want them both taken down. But by voting for DGK I’m letting the more obvious scum live longer. Which I don’t want to do. And it’s better to hit the obvious scum first so we don’t risk a mislunch. Why does that not make sense? It’s not like I can vote for both on the same day.

Fine. Fine! I’ll explain it to you.

I said upfront I look for performative posts, and lurkers, because scum is inclined to make gambits In Order to establish town cred, or keep down low so they stay out of the lime light. You’ve done both. To start with, not counting jokephase because that’s white noise, you bravely kept that head down and uh... did nothing.

The next time you make a grand entrance, it’s several posts in a row to inflate your post count, followed by an opportunistic jump onto the bandwagon pushing me as vote leader because I posted wrong, then didn’t post enough, then posted too much. You make a big effort post, where you copy Amnis argument (though I still think it’s flawed) and parrot it with no actual additions to the discussion. Then you chill.

That is scummy.

I think you are scum.

I also thing Gridlock is scummy.

I think they are scum.

I can only vote for one, and there’s a high risk I may be mislunched today, so I want my opinion clear so when I flip town people go “oh, maybe we actually should look closer at gridlock” rather than just you, as I’m sure once you flip it will be scum, and I trust town enough to go after you.

I do those big multipost catchups too and it's cause I think it's more open for people to see my thoughts and reactions to things rather than just one big reaction. It also helps me make sure I don't forget about anything when I get to the end. I don't think it's scummy in itself.

Literally what I do when I come to the thread and there are 135 posts. I am not the only player who does them, I make alignment calls during them. People got pretty sick of massive walls of text so breaking them into individual posts seemed better. He has repeatedly misrepresented them now. I also don't really give a poo poo about my postcount on loving day one either.
