Southern Cross is a constellation, not a star.

One of its stars is called Mimosa, which I think is pretty fun.

Why did you include this part? This makes you look way too defensive about joke claiming, which makes me think maybe it wasn’t a joke claim after all.

Basically I had a whole thing planned where my next posts were going to be about the scumchat thing and then the "I am playing the role I was given because I got a PM that says 'Mafia'" thing, but when I went to put the next part in after my seriouspost I realized that lapsing back into the bit would not, in fact, make my posting any better or more interesting

So I tabled the bit but I still wanted to call out that it was supposed to be going somewhere, I just wasn't going to finish it because I wound up seriousposting about Somberbrero acting like I was playing the game :argh:

And yeah, saying "I'm going to stop doing something but I need people to know why I was doing it!" is definitely defensiveness, so I see why that's what would come through

All this said...

Repeating someone else's points and appending a vote to them is not scumhunting, it is putting on the appearance of scumhunting while not actually being helpful or contributing to the case at hand

I don't see how "overexplaining" is a bad thing. I'd rather do that than not explain at all, personally. But whatever, you do what you wanna do Steakums.

I don't mind the rest of this AT-LOW podt, it is genuine enough, if overwrought, but I don't like this point. I don't think it's fair interpretation of Lotus' vote.

actually, im pretty sure voodoo just got caught in his last scumgame (that i played in) for voting "just to get a vote down" rather than voting for scum. this reeks of that same thing.

##vote voodoo

I think it's peculiarly interesting that both Sandwolf and Voodoo posted to the effect of not being interested (at the moment) in voting for either AtLow or myself and then voted for a 3rd individual seemingly spontaneously. These both came after we'd segued into being more serious and in both cases were for an individual neither one had indicated any suspicions for at all. Further to that, quickly checking reveals Sandwolf only mentioned Hal once as a joke in response to a thing RF posted whereas Voodoo addressed two things about Steak that were both related to past games.

Lotus Aura

KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
That said, I also think it's also peculiarly interesting that Steak noticed Voodoo's vote was more akin to voting for the sake of voting but doesn't seem to even remotely care at all about Sandwolf doing functionally the same thing. I think the reason that didn't catch Steak's attention (it's literally not even mentioned) was because... it was a vote for Hal and not Steak. It was a lot of setup to explain his vote for Voodoo, but spread across 3 posts and it just serves to obfuscate that it's basically an OMGUS.

Looks like Votefinder's down right now so I can't say for sure, but I think Voodoo's the only person currently voting for Steak. Moreover he's the only person who appears to have done so in a way that could be perceived as a serious vote. There's no setting up of a "vote trichotomy" at any point before, during, or even since Voodoo voted for Steak. Steak's response basically reads like he's weirdly shook by it.

Lotus Aura

Or to put it in short: Steak probably scum, Hal/Voodoo probably not, Sandwolf could go either way.

i dont think you understood what i meant. it doesnt matter how many people are voting for me, what matters is voodoo's stated reason for voting me. or, i guess more specifically, voodoo's weird unnecessary justification for voting me

Steak you voted lotus and at low today, two people I least want to vote. But yes I’d vote anyone who had a vote on them as well, not sure who else was up other than Hal with only 1 vote.

I also think sands vote on Hal sucked. Hence I’d vote him.
