Bus is a pretty extreme way to paint b- offhandedly mentioning me in one post. How do you feel about Keane and Gumball (both of whom he voted) and AC all of which he also mentioned (along with flipped town Rarity and Amni)

Also I was one of the most active D1 posters what the gently caress is this bullshit

Hey, offhandedly mentioning someone negatively is the definition of a softbus. Which is what I think happened.

Nice OMGUS though.

I do find it interesting that I’M the one you vote when I actually gave a reason.

Could it be I’m on the right track? I think so!

Turns out my brain just doesn't want to work for this (RL) day so I'll strive to get proper reads during this (game) day instead but I want to say that Steak's behavior re: the rarity lunch bothers me.

Honestly both he and Sandwolf do, with the way they just swooped in to declare that "they acquired too many votes too fast" which honestly seems like a horseshit reason to me, especially with the surprisingly big D1 case material in their content.

Both of them seemed too sure that rarity is town for my liking in those early posts if that makes sense? Preemptively distancing from a lunch they know is town, only to then go back on it later anyway because you know, actual case and stuff. I feel like both largely avoided having an actual stated opinion on them? Other than the votecount argument, which I really feel is strenuous.

I only skimmed tho so maybe I'm just seeing things. Does anyone else feel the same?

Why the Rarity flip? How does that shed doubt on Hal?

Hal Incandenza posted:

Ok but what does the rarity flip have to do with me? I wasn’t really pushing her very much, just went along with it when it was inevitable,

Lol both of you are missing the point. Yeah the Rarity flip doesn't say much about Hal, and the bussing is weak, I was just repeating SNG's weak reasons because SNG stated those weak reasons very clearly and Hal was all "what?! you'll vote me because of even worse strawman reason C, that has no relation to what you said at all???

Yeah I'd be quite happy voting either of these two

I’d vote Sandwolf too but you seemed to be more self conscious and needing to justify the vote which is more suspicious when the justification and follow up reasoning are bad

Yes I would point out that b- mentioning me was on the tail end of people pushing me so it does work as a nudge to get people to continue onto me. And yes it could be a bus too, but again he also mentioned other people besides me so hopefully there is more of a case on me than that.

I’m also still highly suspicious of squiggly who hid behind his obnoxious PR and only ever made any mention of me and rarity when he finally did end up posting and those points were just well-worn cases at that point

Yeah even though I noticed the same stuff I'm feeling uncertain about it cause Steak stating it like a rule felt funny to me, like he was using metanarrative reasoning and treating Mafia like Danganronpa where the first person to get suspected is always the red herring you gotta get through first to pad out the case. It felt like it coulda been natural Steak-think.

And Sandwolf I'm kinda leaning town on just cause I tend to clash with him less when he's scum. But he has been kinda subdued so yeah, not totally clear.

I'm certain there's a stronger case to find somewhere, I just don't have the brainpower/motivation to work on it rn, really. I just wanted to get it out cuz it actually bothered me before the flip and it kinda only got stronger afterwards.

I haven’t even thought about steak he’s like a wall of white noise all the time to me

As far as Sandwolf, he had some weird sounding posts (like the one when he cozies up to Amnistar and jumps on aC) and otherwise all I remember is the slightly icky stuff around aC later (which is alignment neutral) but I obviously don’t love the vote on me today. I’d probably lean scum on him just from that one post yesterday and his essentially just tunneling the rest of the day

Disagree, even b minus would cut a little deeper or give a little more context to the pings if they were trying to push.

Here’s the thing Hal.

My initial arguments were weak. I knew that. I gave 100% clarity to my thought process and voted you with nearly no actual push.

But

In response you’ve over defended yourself and reacted scummily to what in any measure is a soft push in the opening hours of D2 in a huge game.

The proper reaction would be, to either dismiss me or begin hunting a bigger fish.

Instead you OMGUS, toss out a straw argument, rally the defenses...

It’s a bit much for a townie with 9 votes or so to go.

Hal to me:
“Give me reasons SNG! Give me the exact file and case number of your arguments or I shan’t remove my vote!”

“Hey, yeah he gave no reason at all and was the first to vote me, but I might maybe think about leaning scum on him”

Still waiting so I will respond.

I am less defending myself than calling you out on a bad vote. I've also mentioned three other people I think are scummy and gave reasons.

Asking you to explain your reasoning better is something I'm allowed to do when I think your reasons are bad and you've responded by waving off my questions and now saying ha I didn't have reasons but you "defending" yourself from my attack is my new reason.

Ok because 4 people in a row mentioned me as looking scummy and the last two voted and the last in particular with bad reasoning. I guess I should have just ignored it and in fact I ignored the first three but SNG felt like a late arriving bullshit post and therefore I engaged him on it.

I won't mention it again today to make everyone happy.

I'm experienced enough scum to not worry about anything that happens early in the game day the last thing I would do is worry about it and over react at -10 with days to go smh

I am seriously lost here, I see a whole bunch of people mischaracterizing Hal's response. Day opened and like immediately he got 2 votes and others saying they were sus too.
Yeah, it's a bunch of votes to go, but seeing that much movement that quickly with no backing is odd and him bristling at it seems completely normal.
Now people are saying it wasn't the initial case (there isn't one) but his reaction...

I think people are voting for awkward and wrong reasons here.
