I mean "ready to vote" and "voting" are two very different things?

Opinions can change. It's just that I don't understand why sandwolf's changed, considering he's been sus of SNG consistently all day right up until now when he's in actual danger of being lunched.

THAT is bothering me. Like wording is partly important here, "I'm not sus =/ I'm longer sus", but also the timing and lack of explanation as to why.

perhaps the reason for the no hammer is that both scum are already on it? Or, in the more likely scenario, in a game this small by not hammering it drives home that I “must” be scum and thus when I finally am hammered and flip town it will cast suspicion on those already voting.

My point is just because I’m not hammered yet doesn’t mean I’m scum, and to say so is blatantly ignoring these possibilities.

Okay, so who out me, amni and Sub rosa are the two scum then and why?

Yami, I AM pointing at all the scummy things RF is doing here but you have already decided I’m scum because I don’t want to hammer SNG.

No, I'm saying you're scum because you're saying one thing and doing another thing.

I'm also not voting you right now, but SNG, so why are you horndogging me so hard on that?

I want SNG flipped. The circumstances are way too suspect for me not to. If SNG is town then yes, I was wrong and am wrong about you, because you would have just been seriously unlucky regarding what I see as scummy timings and opinion changes.

However if SNG is scum you are almost confirmed to also be scum.

Okay, I listed that as a low possibility, and in the same paragraph you decided not to apparently skim, I said more likely scum is waiting to hammer so when I flip it makes us ask the exact question you’re asking.

Sandwolf posted:

Rosa, can you gimme some perspective on this moment?

From my perspective, you are my strongest town read, Yami is my second. I lean town on RF, that's sort of the one place I think we aren't reading the game the same way.

I do think Amni is scum, and as I've already posted, I am not going to think Amni is any townier for voting sng if sng flips scum, which I think he will.

My read on you didn't change when you backed off your suspicion of sng because I also had that internal moment of having to decide if my read on sng needed to change because of Amni voting there, but I decided it didn't. But that also is why I got why your read did, because you think there are two scummy people signalling they will vote there.

This is also pretty much why you are my strongest town read. Just like all the other games I've played, we end up having about 90% shared viewpoint on the game.

I'd ask you to reconsider the playing field if you presume RF is town. I think if you do you will also come to thinking Amni/sng could be the scum team.

Also, Yami should be expected to have Amni as a blind spot, and I don't particularly think it's weird for Yami to tunnel on you as sng's teammate instead.

Okay Sub Rosa may have a point regarding the Amni blindspot but I legit don't see it, and I have read him before and again now.

I really think he's playing pretty much exactly like he did in pinball, where he was town in a masonry with me.

A lack of posts means little to be because he's calling out pretty much the exact stuff I am before I did a lot of the time. We both homed in on SNGs lack of unvoting for example.

So I revisited the relevant time frame and SNG and Sandwolf were both pushing RF as the lunch long before there were any actual votes on SNG.

I don't think this really tracks. I mean, sure it's still possible, but SNG was yelling for a RF lunch from before they even were a target. It seems like a really risky bus, especially with both you and me at least somewhat suspicious of RF.

Yami Fenrir

Is it I that is insane... or the rest of the world?
So my two prime suspects right now are Tommu, the lurkiest man alive... and Sandwolf. Probably to nobody's surprise.

Here's why:

Like I said before, Sandwolf has been pushing basically everyone BUT SNG all of day 2. I found it suspicious that he pushed RF/Tommu while barely acknowledging the SNG vote on me at the beginning of the day.

Sandwolf posted:

Tommu tell me why you’re not scum

Same question Opop

Sandwolf posted:

Alright, Opop and RF, if you had to find a scum on the turbo of Hal, and there almost surely was scum on the turbo of Hal, who would you pick?

Here's an example but here's already where it gets odd:

Yami Fenrir posted:

Lol, after going like "wish I was able to take part in the turbo" in pinball this is suddenly scummy.

Also not pointing out that tommu broke the sacred turbo rules by hammering after hal spoke.

Tommu is scum confirmed and sng is probably his scumbo.


##vote Tommu for breaking the sacred turbo rules.

Like, this post wasn't even entirely serious, as should hopefully be obvious. And Sandwolf homes in on a "secondary" scumread on SNG.

Sandwolf posted:

Yami why not consider RF? Why drat SNG?

This post seems like a pretty big overreaction to me? Like, why react to this when you aren't even the one being called out?

But it continues:

Sandwolf posted:

Meh actually the sng vote for ‘stealing jokephase’ is kinda weak

Acknowledges SNG's post without really making a strong statement.

Shortly after, Sandwolf votes RF:

Sandwolf posted:

##vote RF

We got ‘im folks

I've read his content like 3 times now and I still don't understand how he arrived at RF as his strongest scum read. It's just not visible in their post history to me.

Which, to me, is pretty interesting considering how dead set Sandwolf is to lunch RF (Note that around this time SNG is getting heat)

Sandwolf posted:

Okay let me be more clear:

I don’t think Yami or Sub are scum

I’m not scum

I think your and Tommu’s votes on Hal are weak, with yours being slightly sneakier.

I’m suss of Amni and SNG but I think you’re a better target.

Nice try though ;)

Sandwolf posted:

I agree Tommu’s hammer was bad and his not responding to me is super scummy (go to bed Tommu) but RF is more likely to be nefarious here I think

Sandwolf posted:

I also just want to point out that none of this implies you’re Town.

Sandwolf posted:

why not RF

Like, this scum read just seems way too strong for what's available in their post history? I'm starting to believe this is exactly this "backwards conclusion drawing" Sandwolf accused me off regarding SNG.

It continues on:

Sandwolf posted:

You see this “poking from the shadows” poo poo and you assume it’s me Yami? You don’t know how to read me as town yet, do you?

I see the case on SNG but I don’t see how it’s any more convincing then the case on RF.

Realistically with how quiet Amni is, I’m beginning to think I’d rather go there, but

This is also intriguing. Sandwolf was REALLY hard on RF. But then, when it wasn't happening, he'd much rather go to Amni, because 'they're too quiet'.

Like, this is just a continuation of Sandwolf's supposed reads being weaker than he wants to present them as. This in particular smells like an opportunistic switch. RF mislunch was apparently not happening, let's try to swing it to Amni by capitalizing on Sub Rosa's suspicion on Amni!

Sandwolf posted:

Yami you don’t think it’s weird at all that Amni is quieter than a church mouse?

Sandwolf posted:

Oh I’ve written SNG hammer posts three times now. My problem with voting SNG here is I’m effectively trusting you to have done my casing for me, cuz I don’t think SNG is scummy. But you also think I’m scum, and I’m not, so I have reason to be suspicious of your casing ability this game. It honestly kinda feels like you’re walking backwards from your conclusion because your refusal to even consider RF or Amni is very weird to me.

Amni “got his reads out” in one post where he didn’t substantiate anything and effectively gave himself free reign to vote anywhere tomorrow without looking contradictory.


Sandwolf posted:

Furthermore, RF is here sniping and encouraging bad ideas but isn’t actually meaningfully casing anyone.

But you still are of absolutely singular mind that it’s me and SNG.

Honestly Yami you’re gonna be a detriment to town in LYLO if you accept your own tunnelvision like this.

Sandwolf posted:

This is literally ALL Amni has in the way of “getting his reads out there,” Yami, this is really sufficient to you to get a town read on someone?

Sandwolf posted:

I literally don’t see what contradiction you feel is such a loving slam dunk Yami but I am desperately trying to get you to reconsider the loving game here.

I called SNG suss earlier but now I’m saying if I vote him it’s largely because you’re commanding the thread and loving demanding it. I wouldn’t be voting him based on my early suspicion. It’d be to hopefully get you to see that you’re being a loving moron but I have a feeling if SNG flips town you’ll use EVEN THAT as evidence that I’m scum.

So I’m desperately trying to get you to loving think with your active brain instead of walking backwards from a conclusion.

Here Sandwolf is desperately trying to get someone, ANYONE to reconsider their vote on SNG. But wait, hold up!

Sandwolf posted:

Note that Sandwolf mentioned earlier I'm town. Also note the wording. This is important: "Trust you to have my casing done for me, cuz I don't think SNG is scummy." The first part? It implies that Sandwolf hasn't looked at SNG. Which he clearly has! He even says as much in a later post:

When I ask him what exactly made him reconsider SNG:

Sandwolf posted:

Amni and RF being scummier.

Never expands on this. Just, they're scummier. While the case on Amni is "they're lurking", and on RF is... "sniping and encouraging bad ideas?" like, what is that even supposed to mean? Meanwhile SNG is going around putting a bad joke vote on people and defending it as if it's a real vote. Like the stuff on SNG was very much tangible, and Sandwolf never explicitly interacted with the case, just "I see it but don't think it's worth pursuing over RF right now" which means NOTHING.

He's also accusing me of trying to control the narrative, essentially. While I'm town.

Sandwolf posted:

I see you popping up to loving encourage Yami’s worst impressions again!!

I do think he’s suss (not as good as town in my mind as Yami or Sub Rosa, not as scummy as RF/Amni/maybe Tommu), but also you and Amni are voting for him with very little substantiation, so if my two strongest scumreads are voting for my less strong read... what? I’m supposed to just loving hammer anyways?

It’s not loving scummy to reconsider things, loving Christ

At which point he posts this:


Before going straight back to pretending Amni being a bit lurky is the scummiest thing:

Sandwolf posted:

Yami, go loving read through Amni and tell me if that makes you think he’s town. I can’t scumhunt someone with less than 4-5 real posts. That’s why his laying low is scummy after he helped the D1 turbo.

Yami, I AM pointing at all the scummy things RF is doing here but you have already decided I’m scum because I don’t want to hammer SNG.

Like this is a long quote train but the gist of it is; Sandwolf is INCREDIBLY desperate to find someone, ANYONE he can paint as suspicious and push over SNG. Like, at the time, I can see RF. But pushing Amni was ONE HELL of a stretch at the time, if you ask me. Especially in a "scummier than SNG" sense like he'd have us believe!

But now that we know SNG was scum, I am far more inclined that RF was simply a scapegoat for the scum team. RF was pushed both SNG and then so completely, absolutely insistently by Sandwolf, who resisted a SNG lunch TOOTH AND NAIL, I might add. Without ever saying SNG is town. Just "not as scummy as other people."

And finally, for the finishing touch:

Sandwolf posted:

Amni is to Yami as SNG is to Sandypants

This is the only law of SA Mafia.

This... this is such a "sorry I think I have to let you go buddy" post it's not even funny. It's basically a preemptive excuse if SNG flips scum.
