I guess if I had to clarify here, I’d be saying that it’s hard to pick out “town” in the way I read mostly in that I engage with tone in such a way that helps to pick out the bad guys, rather than clear good guys?

Okay, so since Somber has decided to continue to play right out of the Scum Steak playbook of drip feeding presumably fake information while dancing around actually role claiming, I'm just going to go ahead and disregard his calls until he actually posts something tangible. He's absolutely full of poo poo, and I can not believe we're still letting Somber do this dance. It's Somber/B-Minus/Voodoo/Sandwolf. Let's wrap this poo poo up folks. Sitting at negative 1, Somber refuses to claim. Hilariously, it's completely ignored by almost everyone, but Sandwolf's vote is still unattached, and three posts later, he just kinda drops it entirely. Sandwolf posted:Ugh goddamnit Somber, that’s scummy! Sandwolf posted:Ughhhhhhhhh Sandwolf posted:Why are you so sure the claim will sink you? ...And then none of this is followed up with an actual vote. Meanwhile, B-Minus and Voodoo are still in step on ignoring Somber's flailing, and this post from Voodoo reeks of someone who doesn't actually care if Taste is scum or not. Voodoofly posted:All he has done is try to vote out a player I think is town.

Eh, I was right about my suspicion in that game, I just didn't really bother to go on the attack since we had Infinitum pushing us into turboing the poo poo out of scum. Here, I feel like I've been screaming into the void while Somber is putting on his best Steak impression and people line up to defend him, so it seems pretty drat simple to me.

I don’t think Voodoo does really care if taste is scum, PA. I don’t think it’s scummy though. Your push here feels a little forced though. Why does any of it make me scum? Because I believed something in what Somber was saying ?

Sorry, busier than expected today. The Merk Votes Hal Insandenza posted:That’s fine and probably true, but I think your call out of voodoo was more of a stretch. Hal Insandenza posted:alright voodoo, you convinced me to look deeper and I can see it ##vote steak Nothing inherently scummy, but nothing that actually indicates any conviction. An opportunistic voter. Referee has been a strong town read for me. I've liked much of what they put down even if our reads don't line up exactly. Seems to be coming from a thought out perspective. Poop has been on and off the line for a few game days I feel. They've also been a stronger town read from me since they were first up against steak. Maerlyn is a harder read for me, mostly due to a lack of meta(meta as bullshit aside), I read their posts with less scrutiny than I do others. In any case, I like the content and questions they've put forward. It's a town feel. Somber, I believe I've already made more than a couple cases or callouts to somber, and his reluctant hammer doesn't look very good to me. I'll be voting one of Hal or Somber, but I'm going to catch up on the other cases and not just my own points.

A hot take somber hal voodoo are scum. @voodoo, I don't know why I don't have the losertar. Maybe I broke etiquette by buying this Daily Life of a Certain NEET avatar. It was just too perfect to not buy. I also probably am getting close to having the most losses, and post/av combo, etc. etc. Back on track, you're probably scum.

This is a good post though lol.

Voodoofly posted:I’m up for not voting any of you but you probably won’t convince me to vote myself. What pinged you? Voodoofly posted:All he has done is try to vote out a player I think is town. This isn't a good call out, imo. But your insistence on somber not being scumdoes give me pause, because why would you so openly defend a fellow scum member. So either you're both scum, or neither of you are scum, which is something the late merk may have said. However, I still feel like the obvious vote for today should be somber. ##vote somber

Okay. I'm taking some time to put my thoughts in order, to hopefully be a bit clearer about what I see. Yes, I know I'm laser focused on one particular thing at this point, but I feel like there's no way in hell that Somber's town at this point. Somber's had one very consistent position. Don't vote for Somber. Nothing else has really rung true in any of his posts and none of this strikes me as someone who's sincerely changed their opinion. Day 1 it was all about Poopacy and Steak, and by day 2 he's dropped pushing the Poopacy case. It's not even like Somber's said he changed his mind. He has a post listing the Steak voters where he calls out Poopacy for not voting Steak quickly enough and refers to his VT claim "Don't love the disclaimer. Town don't claim with 'believe it or not' energy." That's it. The only time he even brings up Poopacy again is when he's on the defensive later in the day, and said post... Somberbrero posted: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. It's big WIFOM energy. This is really loving weird! Merk and B-Minus repeatedly bring up wishing they could dayvig to see what the hell was going on, while the first one to vote Poopacy stayed out of that, and later posts that he wants to see the flip but doesn't think anyone else is interested.. when there was a push earlier to go ahead and get that flip. I'd still at least understand it if he was working on a push of his own, but he really isn't. This is the big vote on Voodoo that Voodoo latched onto to say "how could we possibly be teammates" Somberbrero posted:call it gut ##vote voodoofly ...This is it. A one line gut read to hop onto a case that was going absolutely nowhere. Somber never bothers coming back to this vote or the reasoning and hammers Merk anyways. You might say "Well if he was scum why didn't he hammer it earlier?" Because it would have looked scummy as poo poo to hammer a case he's been avoiding commenting on the whole day, on a guy that he listed as "Likely town" that early. Hammering there shoots up a giant red flag saying "I'm scum. Vote me!" And now after all this he's still dancing around, drip feeding information, and claiming that he has a good idea of what G4G's not-taken option is. I've already said my peace on Somber's absolute refusal to claim, and I do think it's suspect that Sandwolf in particular just let Somber off the hook that day for that little information. B-minus has been basically attached to the hip with Somber, while Voodoo's gotten my eye for his early focus on taste today while not even looking into the merk votes on Day 2 and obviously not even caring if taste is scum or not. I'm going to go re-read to make sure I'm not Somber blind here, and put together my case in more detail. Mafia Edit: And now B-minus has hopped onto the Taste train as well!

Voodoo's argument is interesting when you consider that somber was also at -1 for several moments, why didn't scum swoop in and hammer him if he is town?merk posted:Votecount for Day 2 The problem I have with this entire argument is why would a scum voodoo draw attention to himself right now by arguing this? Also it's already been said but you weren't in any danger of being voted out so somber wasn't risking anything by placing an empty vote on you, if somehow votes had started racing in it would have been alarming and distracting which could be another reason for the gambit. the holy poopacy posted:##unvote I would think you of all people would see this much differently, so this response is pretty telling. the holy poopacy posted:hrmm hrmm hrmm. Where is this suspicion on plastic coming from? I think either Plastic significantly stepped up his scum game or he's town so I won't be voting him unless something damning comes out and I won't vote taste either (I need to see more from him and he's actually participating in discussion). I think somber should just rip off the bandaid if he's got something to reveal regarding voodoo, I'm very curious to know what he thinks gacha's rejected ability was or how he would even know that information. He's already practically admitted he has a role so the delay just makes me think he's trying to come up with a believable lie because hemming and hawing about it doesn't really do him any favors or he's just lying about it period.

Maerlyn posted:Voodoo's argument is interesting when you consider that somber was also at -1 for several moments, why didn't scum swoop in and hammer him if he is town? the available votes at that count you post are: binus myself Hal You Referee Voodoofly so, maybe none of those players are scum. maybe all the scum were on me already. or maybe the scum didn't want to hammer a town flip -9 hours from deadline because it would look scummy. in fact i think this is a pretty good reason to suspect some combination of idle/taste/poop/plastic. you don't see the value in withholding information in the interest of keeping scum in the dark? what advantage does a full role claim present to the town? i would have had plenty of time to think of a claim from when i chose not to yesterday as scum, so it seems silly to suggest that i'm stalling for time. knowing what i know, i don't think it makes any sense to fully claim, but i will give some more info. i'm mayor mccheese, i'm a modular role like gacha was. Somberbrero posted:i'm going to TRACK you down and make a suit out of you. you'd understand that sentence if you saw my ROLE(cop). i don't think i should say which one of these i picked, but they both have a finite number of uses. when gacha chose watcher, they got a version with infinite charges it looks like. i imagine the only thing that would be tempting compared to a watcher power would be a finite cop power. it makes sense from a design perspective, watcher/cop vs tracker/rolecop. i didn't take an action n1 because i only have so many available to me and waiting gave me a better chance of finding good information. i was super weirded out yesterday when sandwolf joked about me claiming rolecop. i think it should be clear why i thought this would not save me.
