CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I am okay with no-lynching, actually. we've got it wrong twice. But I can actually see glimmers of town in both Josef and shwinn. Also glimmers of scum.

If no-ex is bad they shoulda said we can do plurality especially in a huge game. Although we have anaged to ax a couple with even huger umbers to work with.

They repeatedly pointed out when the high activity portion of this game would be and everyone has more than 10 posts right now I think so I don't think calling this a moderation snafu is a very fair thing.

it's not that i believe capnandy explicitly or that i think its any sort of guarantee that he isnt scum, it's that i think yeeting any of these dream-only players on the day they appear is a mistake mechanically

if they're scum, they'll reveal themselves to the players who stay on whatever layer they're on -- outing maugrim as scum, for example, is the responsibility of the players we left behind in layer 1. similarly, outing capnandy as scum is the responsibility of whoever of us don't dream tonight and stay on layer 2. we have infinitely more information on the players that have been in the game since the start, so yeeting someone we don't have any interactions or history of posts to look back on is a foolish no-info move (and also feels a bit unsporting)

mentioned this explicitly earlier, here (bold added):

I disagree that WE have "far more" info than they do, as they can read the same content as us, it seems.

We've had more processing time (probably) and yes there's less info, but I'm not sure it's sufficiently less info to policy not-vote them.

free spreadsheet of, uh, all the dead people and the playerlist of each thread

If scum can't dream and kill at the same time then one of those 5 in layer1 are scum

The L0 stuff is potentially inaccurate right now, and the L1 may have had another kick since we've left.

Scum mech assumptions seem risky, but this is helpful context to see all by itself.

I think he's just posting as he catches up. Helps to pad the post count by responding to each thing he sees instead of reading it all and processing before posting.

I would like to go back in time and kill Pinterest Mom or AFQM, dunking PMom D1 always seems like a good bet and AFQM was pretty scummy.

Worse case scenario, if there are scum in all the threads and they all get killed, this game would end pretty quickly. And the same thing for town, if town keeps getting ML'd, that would effectively mean that town dies at an excessively faster rate?

Unless scum have a bananas wincon like must control the vote on all levels

Okay. Here's where my head was at earlier today.

1) I have thought JS scummy since D1.
2) I was VT Level 0, VT Level 1 (Train), non-VT Level 2 (School).
3) JS was on the borderline of activity in Level 1 and didn't make any strong efforts to post out of it (contrast with EGalz who I pushed similarly in the Train).
4) Short day.
5) JS asked for results today.
6) I haven't fully reread the previous days.

JS asking about results suggests something like one of:
A) They are VT L0 & L1 & L2 (in which case, why risk staying on L1 with too-low activity to guarantee a slot in L2?).
B) They are scum trying to fish out power roles and/or setup info.

Rather than asking people for a scum case on JS (because I already had a scum read on JS), I asked for town cases (because of point #6 above I might've forgotten something important that JS did that was a good thing).

Since we're now two power roles down, and again short day, it seems like eliminating an at-worst-VT is a pretty good starting point for this day. We also have the CapnAndy default elim if we want, but I think JS is scummier.

Something about this post doesn't feel right

I'm feeling more inclined to vote TM after reading back

Day 1 he defends Meen by saying he really doesn't think he's scum, but at deadline says "oh fine" and hops on the wagon

He's spent a lot of time today going after Cap which is popular for scum (chasing down 3P instead of looking for scum.

I'm still reading back but if not today he's a major candidate for a vote tomorrow.

He did talk about Andy for a bit but moved in from it as the day went on. Still he�s played it fairly safe today with the reads and he�s moved up my suspicion list

No, not really. He vaguely hinted hat there was result on JS but sort of walked that back later in an awkward way (did he explain that better later after he was asked about it? I may have missed it, it�s 2 am local time and I just woke up and I�m a little cloudy at the moment). I haven�t seen a cogent reason for the suspicion anyway

I never claimed a result? I guess the way I went about things suggested one though. It was that same awkward hey someone say something otherwise X thing. Okay, fair.

shwinne is twanging my antenna like crazy because he won't stop harping on what the scum might be doing and/or planning and it's all such WIFOM. He's so very very into the mechanics of it all and from where I'm sitting, I don't see what that gains us. Too many unknowns.

It's hard not to, though! Like, I agree that group planning night actions in the thread is not a good idea and Shwinne should be squinted at for it, but it is really fun to think about all of the turning cogs in this game.

I think it's the thing that only 13 could dream, and it was implied that only the top posters would make it into that dream, so if JS wanted to dream he should have posted more and since he didn't, and was 16th, he's probably scum and here to kill us.

Or something like that.

I am not a Cube translator, this is a guess.

Yes. And post counts and poo poo were repeatedly pointed out in thread. EGalz had been in a similar spot and post spammed accordingly, whereas JS didn't.

I�m probably going to fall back asleep (I hope) but still be up before deadline. Between those two choices I think I favor Cube? I don�t know� shwinn attempting to coordinate our actions and being so adamant about people not following being scummy seems too blatant to be scummy as opposed to stubborn town shwinn, do you think he�d make a bold scum move like that?

Yes.
