Sandwolf posted:I’m not getting scummy vibes from you rn but what’s would be a fair assessment of your argument! I think Grandicap is making an alignment based claim that bif is town. Ostensibly, he is using information in the thread to make this call, but I don't think this information follows toward that conclusion. As a result, I think he is using out of thread knowledge to make this alignment call, and I think it's most likely that that out of game knowledge is knowledge of who the scum team is, knowledge he would have if he was scum.

OK Keane but couldn’t Grandi have just been deciding to be certain of Bif instead of hemming and hawing like the thread has largely been? I see what you’re saying but even if Grandi was scum doing it I don’t think it’d be in this big bombastic way.

Jose Valasquez posted:Given that she fired indiscriminately into a crowd is that a point for keeping her or executing her? Jose Valasquez posted:I think this vote is scummier than the vig kill Bif's reason for voting me is: Bifauxnen posted:"It's at least as scummy as indiscriminately firing and killing a townie. That's what you've claimed." So yes, I think bif is voting me because I said she's scummy

Jose Valasquez posted:Your case against me so far has been that I'm scum because I said it was rude for Sandwolf to want to vig me and you took some jokes I made after that seriously. the sandwolf thing is irrelevant. it was barely serious, which i think was evident by prefacing it "big brain analysis". i see your posting as calculated overall. and the vig commentary that "person voting me is voting town because im town" is such a surface-level take that it's blatantly avoiding the question (which is ostensibly about who you think is scum), and also "reminding" thread that you are town, which pings me. regardless of your alignment, reducing people's cases to fit your agenda doesnt make you look good

Yeah, I find myself agreeing with Keane. I go back to this post.Grandicap posted:These two go together. I felt Grandi was overcertain about the read in general, when I asked why he was sure, it was based on meta, but the meta read that Bif isn't dramatic and chaotic is just not a match to how Bif is playing this game. So it does end up feeling like "I want to call Bif town first, how to justify calling Bif town second." I also keep going back to this post by steak Mr. Steak posted:if bif is scum he's defending her, and if she's town he's defending her with such conviction that it looks like scum angling for some cred when bif flips. he kind of doesnt look good either way lol. no need to flip bif first JoseV calls it a false dichotomy and says the third option is just that Grandi actually believes it. Well, something feels weird to me for Grandi to actually just believe what he's saying, so I sort of think Steak is right. ##vote Grandicap

These are all in response to these two posts: Regarding Sandwolf saying he would vig me: Jose Valasquez posted:Very rude Jose Valasquez posted:steak because he's the only person that I'm confident is voting for town You took an offhand joke and turned it into a case.

yeah that answer just feels so desperate to be safe It’s not a real gun and I can’t actually give it to you - you theoretically are able to immediately flip one player in this game, they won’t actually die, this is just a thought experiment - who do you flip

Sandwolf posted:yeah that answer just feels so desperate to be safe If I had a role action that would tell me and me alone someone's flip and it was use it or lose it I would probably use it on Bif because that's the person that A) I think has been scummiest in the game thus far, and B) I think that flip gives the most information to work with given that she has been the focus of attention. Although on second thought I might not do that because Bif is one of the likelier candidates for execution today so it might end up being a waste. The other way to think about this hypothetical role action is that it can tell me who I can trust in the game, so perhaps I would use it on someone that I have a hard time reading like Keane or Voodoo. I don't know, it's a tough choice. If I had an action like that I would agonize over it for hours before deciding how to use it. I've already spent 20 minutes thinking about it and it isn't even real. I doubt you'll like that answer, but it's how I think about the game and I'm not gonna lie about it

# ? Mar 2, 2021 21:01 |
Well I can appreciate you adhering to your self but even in the extra latitude you gave yourself you couldn’t pick someone to flip so honestly it looks like you’ve got the classic scum quagmire of not knowing which case to hang your hat on.

Alright but effectively the question boils down to: “who is your strongest scumread/suspicion so far” or “who is so difficult for you to read you’d rather just know” and you don’t seem to think anyone is scummy enough to flip and you kinda avoided the second half of the question (though you did say Voodoo/Keane). It feels like it’s betraying, to me, an insincere viewpoint on the game.

I answered both of those questions explicitly in my post. Bif is my strongest scumread and Voodoo and Keane are two people I have a hard time reading. Maybe just read my post?

But then why not just say shoot bif instead of this “I’d shoot bif but then again maybe not because she’s a viable lunch candidate today”? That feels like you know Bif could eat it today and are okay with that happening like that, but if you thought Bif was scum wouldn’t you just want her flipped so we could spend the rest of D1 analyzing the fallout of that?

No, because given the choice between vigging scum and executing scum I'd rather execute scum so that votes are on the record. I'd save a vig for someone I was confident was scum but there wasn't enough traction to execute them.
