I checked this on my codec but all I got was some smooth jazz tunes.

Spacing regarding your question about voting, I genuinely just got distracted with work poo poo and forgot to check back in. I was probably gonna vote ANarc so maybe it is better I wasn't around. Although MMT's flip doesn't really clear ANarc at all, those two didn't have all that much interaction.

OKAY I did my reread. Lots of things I want to address.

1. I no longer think soag is scum. Going back and rereading the whole vig thing, and seeing that he WAS suspecting leatherman during d1 makes me feel more confident in him. I think his reads are awful though because he seems to think me, busb, and SA are scum while I think all 3 of us are town.

2. My strongest scum read is imgay. There was an interaction between him and mmt in joke phase that looked to me like scum purposely interacting so as not to get caught completely dissociating from one another. He also doesn't mention mmt in any actual game related way except for voting her with no comment once things started swinging that way.

i'm not immediately ready to say anarc isn't scum because i do see the argument for it but my gut is screaming at me that the immediate swing to anarc is a really easy one for scum to push w/r/t mmt's dying case

I'm scum possibly killed him thinking he was a serial killer or something given his flip and alignment change claiming.

I'm always down for a cpig lynch. Also given roles are tied to god choices any roleclaim is not relevant to someone's alignment. I think Soag's move is a scumvig on top of the regular NK.

my slip is obviously missing a word and i'm dece enough at grammars that it's not something i would do, but whatevs.
vigging a double voter is scummy, because the way leatherman used his role to try and avoid a nolynch was very pro-townie. Let's hanggaspy and find out if i'm right!!
maybe vig cappig so we don't waste a day hanging him thanks friends~

i don't find busb's push for a soag hang to be believable at all. to me this feels like scum pouncing all over a really stupid move that a town vig made, rather than doing any actual work to scum hunt.

he gives a weak "ehhh anarc agreeing with me feels pretty scummy" here and is pretty ambivalent about the mmt case, eventually resulting in stating that he won''t be around for deadline and voting anarc because "gut":

The mmt case is decent but I'm going with my gut here, I felt Anarc was a bit too vehement agreeing with me, feels wrong mannn

but is actually around nearish deadline (check the timestamp) and doesn't change to mmt.

immediately after d3 starts resumes pushing anarc hard solely off mmt's wimpy "anarc is scum maybe i guess?" post as far as i can tell. i'm not convinced. i think he's trying to recover from mmt's weak play by using it to capitalize on leading town to a mishang, tbqh.

you sum it up as "people seem to be voting anarc because mmt was wimpy in pushing her???"

that isn't the reason that both busb and i decided anarc is probably scum. i can't tell if you're not understanding the argument (in which case, just say so and i'll explain it better) or if you're deliberately mischaracterizing it.

also.

we actually had this conversation on the previous page. at the time when busb nudged gwyn to vote, anarc was -3 and mmt was -2. gwyn could have tied it up, so there was no need for busb to switch votes right then -- both anarc and mmt were viable lynch candidates.

after gwyn voted, yes, busb should have stepped in and hammered, and whether he got called away or was scum hoping for a no-lynch is up to debate.

i don't like your case on busb. there are cases to make on busb, but yours completely ignores the actual argument against anarc and misses the relevant points and it's just sitting wrong with me entirely.

did everyone else realize that deadline was sunday at noon? i won't be here.

oh that's my bad, i generally hate laying down votes this early in the day. right now i'd hang anarc, but as a side note, i am not liking how quiet chic has been post-lynch, esp since she didn't vote yesterday. then again the game seems to have gone quiet. more people need to be contributing, dammit.

what bothers me about the anarc case is how circumstantial it is, but i don't have a better one. i'm still suspicious that we almost no-lynched and side-eying you / hal / chic for not jumping on mmt's lynch. i can't tell if two of you got legitimately pulled away and the third was lurky scum, or if all three of you had real life beckon. it'd help if chic showed up to explain herself.

yeah i'm probably phrasing it poorly (honestly this is the first game i've ever actually tried to seriously make cases? not saying this makes any misrepresentation/awkwardness Completely Forgivable And Unscummy, but i am putting it out there for the record); the thrust of my case is that i feel that busb's play makes more sense through a scum lens than a town one, which means -- necessarily -- that i don't read mmt's case on anarc as "scum pushing scum to make anarc look townie". while i understand the argument it feels like more of a stretch to me than my own.

with that said, the amount of lurking in this game is worrisome and i would be shocked if there were not at least 1 scum among the lurkers.

let me sum it up, and then you can tell me what you think of it -- you can still disagree with it even when it's explained, the case may not strike you, but here goes.

basically it goes back to the last hour and a half, where mmt gave up entirely. i actually called out mmt for that in-thread, asking why he wasn't trying harder not to be lynched. for most of that time, mmt was -2 and anarc was -3.

in this situation, if i'm scum and the other lynch candidate (anarc) is a townie, i am going to move heaven and earth to make sure the townie is the one getting lynched, not me. mmt was not facing an impossible task, here; you and i both offered to switch to anarc if we had to, in order to avoid a no lynch. had mmt managed to convince a single person to switch their vote, momentum would have favored anarc, not him, and anarc could easily have been the one lynched -- or we could have argued over which one to choose, and ended up no-lynching as a result. if you're scum, both of those situations are way preferable to your own lynch.

instead, mmt gives up, and says there's no point to fighting. actual post:

Murmur Twin posted:

I'm in a kind of frustrating position because it feels like it's going to be either ANarc or myself so it feels counterproductive to start casing other people, but there isn't really much else for me to say. This game isn't going to get any easier keeping people that aren't trying to hunt scum.

I'm still here if people want to engage me further. If it's me tonight, I would take a good look at ANarc, CPig, and Chic because I think all of them are just kind of trying to blend in.

this is a white towel. "it's either going to be anarc or me, so what's the point?" the point is, if you're scum, you want a non-scum person lynched at all costs. i do not understand giving up like this, or why "it's anarc or me" is a hopeless situation for mmt. it's a toss-up which of them will be lynched, so in that situation, i would try my hardest to push momentum the other direction. it's an uphill task if no one else is even a candidate, but again, only one vote separates mmt and anarc.

there are possible answers to this -- perhaps mmt's teammates are lurking and being unhelpful and so mmt is checking out, perhaps mmt knows he's found out and asks his scum bros not to fight too hard to save him, lest they out themselves, perhaps mmt is burned out on the game, perhaps the game mechanics mean that scum losing the godfather isn't such a big deal.

or it's possible that anarc is also scum. because if you're a scum godfather and you see the other lynch candidate is one of your own team, that's a fairly hopeless situation.

the fact that mmt's case on anarc was weak at best, and that anarc hammered very half-heartedly, those are data points that further convince me, but they're not the crux of the argument.

does that make sense? it's not iron-clad, and it's circumstantial at best, but anarc's anemic response to a promised reread does not exactly fill me with reasons to give her the benefit of the doubt.

if you see holes in it, please point them out; it's just a theory, and it might be way off base, but both busb and i had the same reaction to re-reading mmt's fatalism, which makes me think we're on to something.

(side note, i keep saying me and busb because we explicitly made the case, but at least one other person said they had the same vibe from it -- venom maybe?)

what strikes me is that there's no mention of "whew i just got in, glad we can lynch" or "poo poo i almost missed it" or anything. just a statement about doing better and a vote. if it's just that she's rushed, you'd expect a bare vote.

my thought later on was that mmt had convinced her to hammer for townie cred, and she was reluctantly agreeing. it doesn't read like she just screeched in just in time to save the day. it feels more like she was on the sidelines reading and just came to a decision.

she may also have been going "eff this, i cannot keep up with this game but here's the final vote anyway so we can at least hang someone." but it seemed weird to me, anyway. i dunno. thoughts?

It seemed weird to me too, but some of that I chalked up to the fact that I was looking back at it rather than seeing it in real time.

However, ANarc's response is pretty tepid. There were still 2 minutes left to deadline regardless of whether or not it was 920 or 930. Certainly time enough to comment in some way beyond just the vote. It ends up looking like scum realizing it was inevitable and just wanting to shut the conversation down (not that there was a great deal of conversation.
