I don't want to vote SNG because I think he's town, albeit very awkward town. I get the feeling Gaspy is town, but at an almost Krellian level of shitposting. Let me do a quick reread of some stuff.

The tone isn’t the issue, it’s the fact that your responses are stilted to undermine me. Which you wouldn’t feel the need to do unless you were desperate to get rid of me.

And why would you be desperate to get rid of me even as I’m vote leader? Because you’re concerned that as a RB protective PR, I’m a danger, but if you guys NK me it throws your previous statement about me being a NK target into disarray. So scum doesn’t want to run the risk of me making it another night and screwing their plans.

Well I’m sorry, but I wanna win. I urge everyone on the fence to look critically at sandwolf posts D1 and D2.

You understand how this distinction makes sense to you given that you are differentiating your scum play vs town play, but it doesn’t move the needle for me because I think this is your scum game repeated across the games, right?

Make no mistake, SNG, I am desperate to get rid of you. Because we’ve now dragged our feet on lunching you for the equivalent of a real life week. If we don’t lunch you today, guess what, you’ll be put up AGAIN tomorrow because now you’ve dodged the loving noose twice. I think you’re scum, but on the off chance you’re town, you’re still not helping anything. All (not literally all, hyperbolically all, since I have to specify this) you’ve done today is defend yourself, talk about why we shouldn’t lunch you, and bring up meta defenses. If you’re town you have no interest in lunching scum but merely avoiding the noose, which is not helpful.

There is an alternative, don’t keep trying to Mislunch me and actually case other people. Something I think everyone should try, because you’re right that it sucks. But it’s not my fault no ones playing to anything else.

Re: Sandwolf, I'm just gonna type up my thoughts as I go without quoting anything unless something really jumps out as me cause I'm already through most of his D1 and his posting is very solid. Lots of engagement going into deadline with very consistent thought and his frustration at the potential no lynch reads legit. He is basing a lot of his other reads of an assumed SNG flip which I don't think is ever a good way to play but townie do that all the time so whatever.

Ok onto D2. I fear he may have got too locked onto SNG here. There's some major flaws in his argument:

Sandwolf posted:

if you were a town jailer I feel like they’d have been more interested in getting you killed.

Like this, when SNG's jailer claim meant he would likely still be under heavy suspicion today which is a very good reason for scum to leave him alive. Moving on I think he makes good points though about SNG's lack of scum and that's something I'll be looking at when I do SNG next.

Sandwolf posted:

And again, no offense, but if you are Town the scum isn’t gonna NK you.

Ok hang on a minute this goes completely opposite to what you said above. Or did that first quote mean lynch instead of NK? Let me go back and check. Oh wait yeah the context of that quote is talking about the D1 lynch. IGNORE THAT POINT I MADE EARLIER THEN I'M DUMB. Pretty much the rest of his content is focusing hard on SNG. He calls Grid and Hawke scummy but never properly takes time to look at them. Oh and Gaspy. And I'm done. Yeah there's nothing here that screams scum to me at all. I'm saying town that's tunnelling hard. He could maybe stand to devote some time to his other scum reads as well but still town all the same.

Oh and finally:

Yeah this sums up my feelings. I was always swayed earlier by the volume of posts and there have been one or two good ones sprinkled in there but the defense of self::cases on players ratio is so skewed that along with how hard it has been to get SNG over the finish line for two days that this needs to get done.

In the event we can't get it done, I would be good with Toalpaz. I don't think the Sandwolf cases are good, I could see Gaspy possibly but I think that the shitposts and snipes are pretty par for the course for him.

People have said they consider taste scummy. In my recent experience with him as scum he was aggressively pushing bad cases and being very vocal about it. I wish he would elaborate on anything he thinks this game, but he doesn't look at the past or whatever he says so I doubt that will happen. I do not think this is his scum game however

Bif, I know you voted SNG. But aside from that, you really didn’t engage with him and the case on him. I find that very strange and inconsistent with how you’re approaching other players. Why the different approach?

It's kind of a self-perpetuating thing, really. I can see why people are voting him but I haven't had to clash with him directly, cause by the time I bothered looking at him he was already one of the main candidates D1 and seeming pretty resigned to it. Now I don't really need to do my usual thing, of getting everyone all riled up to listen to me for fucks sake, look at this bullshit already, they're scum scum scum, cause well, the case is already there.

Actually that's one more good reason to lunch SNG. Sandwolf does raise a good point here:

Despite other people voicing suspicion of Toal, here I am sitting here all by myself again with just one little vote. I was hoping to revisit Beet today too, see if he started getting all on my case again like he was hinting he would, so I could see if he still seemed scummy about it or not. But he's just got to relax all weekend without anyone really caring except Gaspy. All anyone wants to actually commit to and put more than a couple votes on is SNG. This is sucking the air out of the room worse than any big slapfight.
