That's fair and I'm definitely still suspicious of cheese, hell even if tpink flips scum I got some weird vague gut feeling like it might be a bus

I guess my question for you is besides tpink avoiding being lunched what is your case on him as scum? There is some merit to what you are saying but that’s seems to be your only point against him, at least for the last few days. Posting-wise what about tpink has been scummy?

Bluntly it's largely a d1 hunch based on the behaviour of someone that piggybacked on other people that were defending them and otherwise lurking that supported itself through context basically through the rest of the game. I know someone's going to quote this and ignore the rest of the post but I'll still try to explain a bit;

So, on the first day looking back on the lunch before Cena came in and extended the day I only really remember the people in the team 2 group standing up for him compared to the feel in the thread but that being said it was still going to be a plurality lunch (I don't think it was more than 4 or 5 votes?) rather than a majority with the votes that were thrown down so it felt like there was always a vocal enthusiasm for a tpink lunch but apathy towards voting him. Which is part of why I find it egregious that he's escaped as many lunches as he has so far but people are still talking about it and agreeing

During the last day between merk & DGK I prodded tpink about playing both sides of the fence here with views that didn't feel consistent with each other which as far as I can tell he didn't respond to but instead showed up to defend cena because to suggest that they're scum together is too dumb.

This feels substantial to me because my main impression of the team 2 masonry is that they're making a town call on tpink, but it's always a town but. Like, they feel like he's town but he's not making any strong calls. Or they feel like he's town but he hasn't been active or responsive. Or he's town but somehow knows a lot about how scum function in this setup. I know this was explained by him apparently combing the OP flavour but that it was weird enough for Hal to bring up felt worth noting? Hal can correct me if he feels like I'm misrepresenting anything here?

Given that and that he keeps managing to dodge lunch I felt confident enough to call him out and I'm surprised at the response when as far as I can tell the main argument against me is that I was too reasonable wrt DGK & merk and is a position people are hanging onto after merk flipped town. And after merk came around on me after making that argument as well? We were getting along decently enough before he took off/got lunched and mostly shared the same reads aside from DGK

Yeah. Even if. If you flip scum the natural immediate thought would be that cheese is townie for pushing you. I'm saying that even if that's the case, I don't wanna actually clear cheese off it too soon

Bif, I don't exactly get why you were most suspicious of cheese; stated in here and in masonry, but were almost going to put tpink to -1; wouldn't you want to go for your top pick.
I do sort of get that you were still suspicious of tpink, but they weren't your top choice.

I see nowhere in thread or masonry when tpink became your top choice over cheese until after tpink got on your case "for swapping".

Re the Cena extension - not being able to post for work is understandable. Between my post this morning and just now I was at work so I totally get that, but until the objection (after his move to strike) all he'd really contributed was this big summary post largely lacking content that mostly just assigns shade without taking any strong calls and concluding that he's okay with voting either of the vote leaders so forgive me for seeing that plea to contribute as performative

I felt stronger that Cena could be scum but decided to call out tpink this morning instead because A) he's managed to get out of three lunches (almost four) so far not really by any virtue of his own but due to apathy and game chaos and B) I felt like my cena read relied on tpink being scum to work

The second point I was thinking about while I was driving earlier and feels illogical thinking about it because both stand on their own really, I think it more just stems from how I approached my read on cena and that the first thing that comes to mind was the move to strike and wondering at the time whether it was a scum save or just game chaos.

Yeah, I had to show up and defend myself from bad votes on me, what outrageous behavior! It’s the exact same bit you always do when you act incredulous like oh gosh why would someone push back on my case, must be scum! - going all the way back to D1 on me, and then on merk HARD in later days. Maybe it makes sense to you because you are just so convinced in your scum reads, but this bristling / dismissive (“lmao”!) reaction whenever anyone questions you is just...I don’t get it. I said that it’s inconsistent with your play for you to apparently change your mind on someone based on one post without saying a drat thing about it until after being called on it. I completely stand by that and you haven’t addressed that.

Because as the vote rush was happening I thought it looked pretty inevitably decided. I might have felt more suspicious of Cheese right then, but I wasn't opposed to lunching tpink and sure as hell didn't want to actually fight in defense of him to try and turn that all around.

And you are correct, tpink did not become my top choice until then.

Keep saying "changed your mind" some more

I said I was most suspicious of cheese but still suspicious of you, just thought it was worth more review since we got a big upset here

It suddenly appeared that I would not have this time for review, but I decided this wasn't such a bad thing. I said I'd be ok with your lunch and I did mean that, I only withheld my vote because just in case you were town, maybe, just maybe, you'd have some last reads to contribute

If'n I'm bein' honest sir, yes indeed that there was exactly what made me decide you had ill intent

But you must have some sort a angels on watchin' over yous Mistuh tpink cause Mistuh Cena and Mistuh Voodoo made some interestin' points in your favor. It ain't the strongest read I evah had no sir but I'm inclined tah believe that the devil here is in that Mistuh Cheese an' not yoself

##unvote
##vote cheese


I already commented on this but I'm coming back to it hoping that if I do get lunched that people will revisit. Yesterday when people started calling me scum for acting too reasonably towards merk & dgk he disagreed with it calling me town but apparently now he's been swayed by cena and someone that said they voted for me not because they think I'm scum necessarily but because I was the one that initiated the day and for lack of a better option

It's really easy to skim over squiggs posts when it takes extra effort to sit and decipher what he's trying to say

Squiggly posted:

Ah thought that ah would be hittin' you with everythin' I got Mistuh Merk but ah do not get the bad feelin's that ah did earlier. When Mistuh Merk has been up ta no good he's always locked on ta somethin' an is very much an unreasonable fellaw

And ah do not blame Mistuh Cena fa that, he was listenin' to me bellow an haw at ya somethin' awful an based on aw chats outside I do not get tha sense that he is anythin' but a man a character

I feel like I am hemmin' and hawin'

Ah was set to try some a that fancy cheese everyone is recommendin', but ah do not get a sense that Mistuh Cheese is anythin' but a jokesta. That boy loves his laughs, an he seems like a little angel when he's been not tryin' hard

I say this as someone that's faked PR's in the past and largely avoided judgement for it because people assumed it was mod imposed and got sick of trying to read my posts (The last time I did this I claimed to be Skwisgaar Skwigelf from Metalocalypse and I had a blast.

Realtalk for a sec, sorry if the persona annoys you. I usually feel like I do need to dismiss questions that seem like they're coming from a bad faith scum place. Hell, look how merk read all my copious posts explaining exactly why I thought he was scum, which you said was tough to even read, and he still claimed I didn't even have a case.

Of course, some smack talk is always just plain fun too, but I often to feel like I can only be heard this way, when I go over the top.

But I don't think it is necessary to continue it right now.

Ok - thanks for that. I think there is just something about that type of posting that gets at me in a weird way, and it’s a me issue not a you issue. I’ll set it aside for now because it’s not game related and I can address it more after the game.

This is a repeat of day 1 where he RAPIDLY approaches being lunched and then for whatever reason, the brakes are hit. This last minute push to cheese feels scummy from Voodoo who just seems to be trying to follow the winds? Though Cena and Voodoo May have chatted in masonry

tpink, this court finds you GUILTY!

While the defendants watch as tpink is handcuffed and escorted away from the courtroom, a chilling statement is yelled.
"I did nuthin', you got the wrong guy! No blood on these hands, no evidence! He intimidated me, intimidated me! The heck is wrong with y'all?"

And the worrying thing? That's right - there was no evidence!
But tpink is not as clean as it might sound...


tpink, Dodgy Witness (1/2 Scum?!), has been jailed.

Mayor Cloner rises from his oversized mahogany chair, his voice booming.
"Well, you took someone down. Someone less than innnocent, but were they really guilty? Anyway, I'm counting on you to get the rest of these sour apples!"

His eyes shift and eyes each of you up. He keeps eye contact with a certain individual.
"You there!" He points to one of the defendants - sweat dripping from their forehead. Your demeanor seems different somehow... I'm not sure I like it."

Yeah after going back to properly reread D1, my vague "what if cheese is bussing" feeling has dried up cause he was on tpinks case quite early and it seemed serious. DGK also feels better since tpink was picking DGK as a target to try and shift to, picking on that "how could a mafia player as you possibly be serious about thinking that's a scumslip??" point feels just like how tpink would pick out weird angles of attack on me too.

As for you Hal, you're in a real middle ground here. I haven't seen any reason to feel you're especially townie, but nothing's stuck out as seeming insincere or bullshit either.
