I'm having s hard time parsing this post since it's replying to Somber and saying he sounds reasonable, but then talking about mason claiming instead. And I'm not sure if you're referring to the confirmed mason claim or the unconfirmed main claim, and if that's to compare and contrast with Somber and imply somehow that Somber is the one doing a very town thing, or if it's a jump cut with no segue so actually you aren't talking about Somber's role at any point.

Random's replies haven't been so bad, so let's try this instead for a while

Yea that reads weird on a reread.

I meant to compare and contrast someone else strongly claiming mason involvement VS somber’s soft claim that seemed reasonable @ this moment.

Hm. I actually disagree. The original soft claim came out as a way of “verifying” the cop, which seemed - without a counter claim forthcoming - not really needing any confirmation. To me, as I said in my vote D1, that sounded more scummy because it was a free way to curry favor and “confirm” a basically confirmed cop

Hey cool, OA. Dropping a vote on who I voted at the end of D1 and calling me scum in the same breath. I feel comfortable re-voting somber so let’s get that out of the way first :dance:

##vote: somber

RE: The Toalpaz case, it was an early D1 case. I still don’t get particularly townie vibes from Toalpaz’s posts, but I am liking IA’s posting from last night so I am at least likely wrong that there was some sort of meaningful unintentional omission going on. I am not planning to pursue Toalpaz today, barring some additional reasoning.

.random posted:

.random thoughts (tm-ing the hell out of that):

GGN vs. Mr. F, I am ok with voting either, but with a preference for Mr. F. GGN has lurked way harder, but Mr. F decided to break his lurk to first vote me without sharing anything in the thread, just within an unconfirmed mason-chat, which doesn't feel nearly as pro-town, and then votes Sandwolf on a supposed scum slip.

Speaking of Sandwolf, I'm still not buying the case on Sandwolf, which Toalpaz I think correctly characterized as a (my words not his) sort of unconnected mish-mosh vote that slowly coalesced.

RE: RF, I get better vibes from him than Mr. F and don't especially like this vote for today.

RE: Somberbrero, I've been getting weird feels. Somber didn't bother saying why the vote on Mr. F, which struck me as weird, and the whole "let me confirm the cop's weird power by mentioning my own weird power" felt like a way to earn townie points for free

##vote: Somberbrero

I went back to find the previous vote because I didn't know why random was voting me. Seems pretty weak to ride that into d2 without much further analysis, and weird to not comment on Obama's or merk's posts. Also 3rd vote scum?

That's making a bit more sense to me but I am still confused now about one thing. You seem to be backing up Somber in saying "soft claiming isn't inherently scummy in general, like merk seems to think"...

GenericGirlName posted:

I have no context for Mafia Mafia but the rest of this seems reasonable. I think the mason claiming was pretty sus w/ as quickly as it happened. But soft claiming a role because you want to make sure town isn’t wildly off base seems like a very town thing to do.

But are you trying to say your initial impression of my mason claim with binus was wrong, and you shouldn't have been so suspicious of it when it seems like a townie thing to do actually? Or do you still think we're sus, and you're calling Somber's claim more townie?

I'm definitively calling Somber's claim more townie, but I didn't think your mason claim w/ binus was sus enough to be a scum play, maybe just a weird town play thats Too Smart For Me. Just because I compared them both in one post doesn't mean I think 1 has to be a town play and the other a scum play.

I was being a badass and dropping the mic cuz I beat OA to it last night. It felt cooler in my head.

But to whit:

I agree that OA pointed to language that exemplifies my bad vibes.

I need to reread you to evaluate Merk’s point, but I felt comfortable re-voting as it was. I’ll give a reread later though and let you know my opinions.

So along with your me-vote did you want to bother to explain your Mr. F vote or no?

Ok that's what really confuses me, I didn't think that could be what you meant. Me and binus very explicitly made our claim as early as we did to "make sure town isn't wildly off base". I often die early anyway, and if either of us died before we claimed, the person left would have a much harder time explaining all on their lonesome that actually, we were confirmed masons.

Somber's claim is more townie cause...? How is a very vague softclaim of "hey I have a weird power", to breadcrumb some multivote thing, supposed to help keep town from getting off base?

I've been thinking about it all day and I still like the gut vote, at least more than anything else at the moment. I thought I was going to vote somber but his posts feel honest right now, and why would he soft claim with no pressure day 1 when DGK claimed?

She can lurk a lot when she's scum, and the times she's showed up feel like she's not actually contributing, just showing up to be seen to be doing something.

That reply to you that I've been prodding her about is a great example. It doesn't seem to make any sense as a townie thought process actually trying to figure the game out. I suspect she didn't actually think you making some super vague claim of having a power at all before you explained your role later, which ended up just being some voting thing, could be more townie than me and binus claiming our masonry to try and better prove our alignments to people.

I suspect she only said something like that to suck because she already knows you're town after all. Cause she's scum.

Okay, I think I understand. Essentially the comment on my claim was fake because you believe that ggn's reaction to my claim doesn't match up with ggn's reaction to your claim, she was in a rush to believe me because she thought it would make her look townie? Am I stating that correctly?

I guess I don't have so much confidence in that immediately because I find the confusion believable, but I'd have to go back and see the comment ggn made about your claim.



One thing that sticks out to me is Toalpaz's comment on how this was a good start for scum. I'm a little confused as to why. We lost a mason and a 3p survivor and that's it? I don't get the scum mindset for that comment, but I also don't get the town motivation.

Yeah you got it pretty much. And I voted her for some extra oomph to try and get her to explain where she's coming from in that post but it doesn't seem to add up to me.

Don't know if she's like, in a rush to believe you cause that'd directly make her look townie, but more like, trying to find something to talk about as scum. And finally landing on making a post that's just something kinda conversational with you and non confrontational, all "oh yeah I see where you're coming from" (which is easier when you already know someone's town) instead of making reads.

Except by saying that nice stuff to you she (seemingly accidentally imo) left this weird implication that my mason claim somehow wasn't as Towny as your "softclaim" and it doesn't seem to make sense. When I pushed her on it, she seems to have just bailed after a bit to lie low again. Don't wanna get all into post-timing arguments too hard but yeah I suspect her for content lurking like this overall.

Its tough to say, I don't think it's GGN just because I don't want it to be GGN. It would be nice if GGN wasn't responding to reads on her, and talked more about other players.

I will say that I won't lose sleep over voting merk today. I am down, it's just that openly saying that you'll be playing differently is kind of a bold thing to do as scum but it isn't impossible at all.

If someone says something in a mafia game but no one flips them is it scummy or not scummy. :iiam: (For this I tried to mimic the saying: If a tree falls in the woods with no one around does it make a sound, but I feel it fell flat.)
