Curses! Foiled again!

I am not sure what the Toalpaz VS Bif thing is. Bif has been tunneling hard on Toalpaz bassed on gut feels and "Toal is ignoring me" which is really weird. Toal themself has provided a reasonable point for their vote today and hasn't really done much I see as scummy behaviour.

Bif's tunneling makes me feel like she either KNOWS something but isn't sharing or is hoping to fly under the radar as ignorable. Bif can you articulate further on your anti-Toal stance?

First bolding mine, cause the first thing to explain is that that first bit is bullshit.

I voted Toal and voiced my first suspicions of them D1 because they were ignoring the whole thread. When the end of day was coming I moved on only to have Toal suddenly pop up in force to say how scummy I was for moving my vote off them onto DKG (who Toal was also pushing at the time). It was those bad faith exchanges then that got me much more suspicious of Toal, for more concrete reasons now than just "Toal's laying low".

As for today, I suppose it isn't unreasonable to not read Toal's "what're the odds me and Sci could be scum" as scummy, it should probably be ignored as obvious shitposting.

Add Amnistar to the Rarity pile of people who came out strong and now are coasting. I get it Amni you don't believe SNG (I don't think I do either) but the half-hearted efforts on Rarity and Sci today are not great and aren't developed or explained well at all. Maybe Rarity a bit but the sci suspicion seems throwaway and Amni is happy to coast on the popular SNG read today so far with no new insight

You’ve been avoiding talking about SNG all day to talk about Toalpaz or whatever, it’s not scummy until SNG flips scum

Bolding mine, it's like if SNG really does flip town, it's trying to discredit the Toal case by making it sound like all I had on Toal was "Toal and SNG must be scumbros"

If SNG flips scum it’s scummy that you’ve been avoiding it. If SNG flips town it’s less scummy that you’ve been avoiding it. Why are you acting like this is some super slam dunk? I felt like my meaning was fairly straightforward there, I’m not saying poo poo about you and Toalpaz, other than I don’t get what either of you are on about towards the other.

These are the gaspy votes today, in order:

Asphyxious posted:

How would he corroborate.

Why would you assume he would notice.

That only makes sense if in jailing him you thought both

- that he was town
- that he had a power role

IN WHICH CASE

WHY would you jail him?

##vote sandnavyguy

Asphyxious posted:

Agreed, that’s way too many words caged around SNG being town but trying to push that we should vote for him anyway.

Which implies Toal doesn’t actually have any scum reads.

##vote Toalpaz

Leaving this here for now.

Asphyxious posted:

This post pinged me hard got a variety of reasons, we have full blown maxim violation in here and it lines up with what’s happened earlier.

Here’s the thing: SNG has never generally claimed scum are on the vote at this point. He has explicitly cased two of the votes on him, tpink and Amnistar, neither of these cases hinges on their voting. But, Sandwolf has phrased this in a way to imply that SNG has only been vague with any of his claims.

There’s a lot that can be taken from this but here’s the bullet points

- Sandwolf has actively misrepresented SNG’s activity
- Sandwolf has set up a scenario where the vote leader has to draw from a smaller pool of votes
- if you reread SNG (which I just did, twice, it wasn’t fun) you’ll see his Tpink and amnistar cases have more effort put into them than most anything else flying around AND Sandwolf has consistently undermined and ignored his efforts

And,

- Sandwolf was the one who floated the JUGGERNAUT gently caress theory despite it having basically no merit, a spanner in the works to further confuse actual analysis.

##vote Sandwolf for deliberately misleading, undermining and misconstruing the case on SNG.

Likely sitting on this vote.

first vote isn't great IMO, second vote is kind of iffy but I can see where it comes from, third vote... makes sense, in a certain light? it feels like his votes are getting more nuanced as the day goes, which is a good sign IMO. the thing I don't like is how the last two end, with an unnecessary statement about the vote itself - it feels a little fake to me

I’m slowly rereading everyone’s posts and, hopefully this doesn’t get quoted at me hilariously after the game, I’m pretty sure both Bif and Beet are town. Which is aces. I’ve got a bit of time this game so I’m busting out some of my analysis criteria and they both measure up very well, esp in their interaction with bminus and in response to others cases.

So for all my railing against meta posts I will point out that SNG's play is reminding me a lot of my last AusPol Mafia game where I too dropped a town claim early (was also Jailer but just said it was a protective role) and spent the rest of the game telling people to trust me because my power is good and useful and it can be confirmed. I also constantly claimed I will get lynched by scumbus as easy target which didn't happen, and then I was erroneously stabbed at night a few days later.

So... are you saying SNG is town then? I don't like how you go through the meta but end the post before drawing a conclusion on his alignment.

There seems to be a lot of applilications of Occams Razor going on from Sandwolf, tpink and Ami on to SNG. I can understand that reasoning, however I am inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to SNG for at least 1 more day.

My own position at the moment is I would prefer to vote someone else today but will vote for SNG in the future when more info comes to light given my recent re-read of how the situation could be playing out.

Ami has been solidly onto SNG since Day 1 and I think that they are a townie who is very confidant in their scumhunt. Sandwolf reads similar in this regard.

I dislike tpink's lurking stratagey. They seem to be taking quick shots at the easiest targets on each day thus far (me on Day 1 when it appeared they maybe a last minute pile-on and SNG who is being pushed on today.)

I am not sure what the Toalpaz VS Bif thing is. Bif has been tunneling hard on Toalpaz bassed on gut feels and "Toal is ignoring me" which is really weird. Toal themself has provided a reasonable point for their vote today and hasn't really done much I see as scummy behaviour.

Bif's tunneling makes me feel like she either KNOWS something but isn't sharing or is hoping to fly under the radar as ignorable. Bif can you articulate further on your anti-Toal stance?

I also feel like I should place some trust in E+ despite the masonry with now dead Humalong being unconfirmed.

This is a better post from Grid
