That's not really how I would interact with my scum team. This is on my mind because I just finished a game as scum. In this situation in this game where it is right now I would let merk handle himself and probably ignore him. I take your point, but while it makes sense in a vacuum it's not really how the game is played imo.

Plastic is an interesting case. He spends a lot of time telling us what the case on poop is when that isn't the case on poop:

PlasticAutomaton posted:

So is the case on poopacy just that he thinks Merk is scum? Cause I've definitely seen bad gut cases from merk in the past that ended up being completely wrong.

PlasticAutomaton posted:

Re-reading things, I'm really not feeling these poop votes. Merk's case in particular seems to be "You have been calling me scum in a manner I do not believe is convincing therefore you are scum" without placing any solid reasoning on it. This is also especially rich coming from Merk who I have seen rely on really flimsy gut reads repeatedly.

PlasticAutomaton posted:

Somber. I've had a very hard time trying to figure out what he actually thinks because he's spent half the day putting on a giant "Look at me, I'm Steak" act and using it to cover himself from actually putting stuff out there. He called Sandwolf out for an apparent scum slip, (I actually see where Somber's coming from on that vote) but then he immediately dropped his vote and went after Poopacy instead, following right after merk. Said case on Poopacy has boiled down to "You think I'm scum? How can you possibly think I'm scum?"

PlasticAutomaton posted:

I just think the case on Poopacy is way worse and the pushes for him have been pinging me badly. But as I've never actually seen you get past day 2 in any mafia game I've played, Steak, I want to make a deal. Claim, and I'll swap to Poopacy as my fallback option to get a flip instead of you. None of the usual drip-feed nonsense, just an actual claim.

Gone for like 30 minutes, will be back before deadline.

But then at deadline...?

PlasticAutomaton posted:

So I guess that means

##vote: Poopacy

I don't understand why we need to hear the same thing three times about how bad the case is on poop; and I don't understand how plastic votes poop right at deadline (and then switches back to steak).

immediately distancing merk right after getting called out on buddying up to him, while explaining how you can't be scum if you're openly buddying up people because that's not how you personally play scum

you put together a short list of perceived behaviors that you put a negative spin on, not trying to actually make any connections between those behaviors and alignment. feels uncharacteristically lazy of you. it is convenient that you don't bother making a real alignment call on me day one, thank you for noting it.

Somb(S) x Merk (S) = Ref (T)

Somb(T) x Merk (S) = Ref(T/S)

Somb(S) x Merk (T) = Ref (T/S)

Somb(T) x Merk (T) = Ref (S)

I think it might be safe to assume that if Both Somb and Merk are scum, they wouldn't want to vote Ref (if ref is town they would know) out because that would immediately cause them to be fingered as scum.

If Somb is town, we know he believes that Merk is not scum enough to vote for today. If Ref flips town, Somb would finger merk a little bit more than he is now, but would probably not be all the way convinced. If ref is scum, I don't believe Merk would keep his vote on them for the entirety of the day.

If Somb is scum, and Merk is town, and ref flips town, Merk would probably not finger Somb because there are too many people that suspect Ref. If ref is scum, I don't know if somb would hold their vote there, because removing the vote would make them be fingered bad as scum.

In the case that both Somb and Merk are town, and Ref flips town, then imo the people to look at would be Poopacy, Maerlyn, Plastic.

I think that the correct move here is to vote Ref and watch what Merk and Somb do, or anyone else really. But In this case, I think it would give me at least information about Somb and Merk. Given that I already think that Ref is scummy enough to vote for.

is this a safe assumption? I could understand this argument if they had opened the case on Ref, or if Ref was getting close to hammer, but going "hmm yes this is scummy" after a couple people point out it's scummy seems to be a reasonably safe place for scum to hide
