Imagine I said something deep here...

As I said, scum can actually scumhunt, which means there's less empty cases and you have to watch more for the scum mentality behind their cases/posts. It's more subtle.

I find it curious how you called out Dick for this when I did the exact same thing

Dick was first to jump on Sal, you were much later. There's a difference in timing, tone, and situation. Your Sal case was lazy, but he felt like he was posting to change the dialogue.

it was just a general statement on my thought process, but i guess i'll not do that anymore since y'all are super aggro 100% of the time about everything

There is a distinct difference between, "before we lunch sal we should talk about X" and "weave time left, wait on the lunch."

you can make general statements of your thought processes, you're encouraged to, but people need to be allowed to disagree with that

and for those of us who have been playing for a while we have seen this argument hash out a dozen times, and even when we do agree to give it more time, it invariably ends up one hour before deadline as we're desperate to pull together enough votes to lunch

if we all agree Sal is the guy for today, we can't even analyze people's votes on him until he flips, what can we talk about? other people who are scummy? but those people's actions may immediately need to be reanalyzed after Sal flips, so we can't even come to some sort of conclusions about where to focus attention D2

so really, if we all more or less agree it should be Sal, let's do the business

as for why i think sal's town despite the awful awful awful posts so far...

um, hello? scum actually read the words they're typing before they post them. because scum are self-conscious about being found. scum also has a team they can talk to out of thread and answer questions such as "hey, what is the town alignment called?"

there is absolutely no way a scum player continues to be this confused about it genuinely. so he's either town or scum has expressly decided to keep up the confusion in some sort of wifom attempt

if you think his confusion is real, he's town. case closed

This is a good point, I hadn't considered that a scum player could just have his buddies explain everything to him in their chat. ##unvote

"Let's lynch him even if he is town" is a bad case; it comes from an anti-town mentality.

Right now, my scum list is Steak, you, and toal barring an explanation of the Rarity discrepancy in his posts.

The more times I read Sal's posts the more I'm convinced it's just a massive fuckup from trying to Mafia at Work and the ensuing frustration and confusion all fits in that framework to me.


My biggest scum read right now is Toalpaz, there's a few wandering votes and not a lot else. I'm also really suspicious of Mr. Steak based primarily on the whole influence transfer/interactions with Byers.


My strong town right now are:

Anyone else is somewhere in the between. I want to re-read, at some point:

Sandwolf (the watch-tapping thing rubbed me the wrong way)
Rarity (generally braggadocios about previous plays as a tool to gain authority)
Tommunist (Sal lunch collateral damage plan seems weird)
Amnistar (honestly think I missed a bunch of their posts reading between doing work stuff today and just am not familiar with their body of work)

I voted rarity and then read more and decided rarity was town. She was also my second vote, so what the hell DKG. Why don't you ask rarity why she voted 5 people in the first five minutes of this game.

JJ just read whoever I voted for I don't need to explain myself its day one.

And when I say I don't need to explain myself, really what I mean is asking people to expand on empty day one votes is fake content at worst. IMO. It can be low effort town play but like, is there really a point?

I don't think asking people to expand on day 1 votes is bad, people just need to be ready for "that one post rubbed me the wrong way" answers.

Worked sucked, but I appreciate you guys for slowing down the posting for a bit

Sal seems likely town after the eventual claim, glad he didn’t get got already. He’s not 100% out of the water because I don’t love the hedging around being pushed to make reads but the scumslip part seems overblown at this point

Hal Incandenza

Byers is being very scummy, like overtly so, I can’t figure out how anything he is doing is helpful to town. I’d definitely ##vote Byers

##vote tpink

This is probably the one rarity bit that I really don’t like. This vote seems to be serious and comes after a tpink post that doesn’t provide much context for the vote nor does rarity offer one or even really return to this read. The rest of her voting and posting though seems fine and reasoned and I don’t see her being all that different than her last game. I certainly sympathize with the explanation of mafia effort being related to free time available.

Sorry people that wanted me to look at rarity, I think the points against her are not compelling at this time

I left the game at the point where Sal was looking suss for a weird joke post about being a vamp and 200+ posts I didn't read later and here we are. Is there anything I should go back and look at specifically or should I just go back to where I left off (:whitewater:) or neither?? In the mean time of waiting for a consensus, I shall go back to where I left off (:whitewater:)
