Still think this is legitimately an awkward confirmation post. It's far too self-conscious when it could easily be played off as he has today - as if everything were normal. Why not wait to see if the thread is active and then say "oh by the way I'm moving and didn't think this game would start rolling fast!" rather than this? It's odd.

This sounds very forced. How is it not reasonable to say "hey guys gonna be phone posting tomorrow"?

This feels like a really made up reason to vote for someone.

That is not what he said.

Let us analyze:

Jamuraan posted:

I am confirming but I have bitter sweet news. I am going to be moving tomorrow and I'm not sure when I'll have Internet.

"I am not going to be able to post much tomorrow."

quote:

I'll be able to post and read from my phone so we should be okay.

"In actuality though I will be able to post tomorrow."

This is the awkward part, above. A person who wasn't caring about how they looked would say: "I'm going to be focused on moving and might not be focusing much on the game." But the above is cagey and weird: "I am moving tomorrow, dunno if I'm going to have internet, might not be able to post. But it's ok because I will be able to post!" That's awkward and strange. It's caring too much about how he looks, and that's scummy.

I agree. Caring how people think about you is just how this game works. He didn't want to appear as a d1 lurker without an explanation, so be provided one in case, as opposed to doing it after the fact (worse in my book).

Votefinder has a record. http://votefinder.org/player/met. It lists you as having played three games, although in the first of those you mentioned playing previously outside of SA.

In the first one, you didn't self vote, instead using your first vote for someone who voted you first. In that one, you were vanilla town.

In the second one, you also didn't self vote, again going after someone who voted for you. Once again, you were town.

In the most recent game you played, you self voted first. In that one, you were scum (Godfather). Hmmmmmmm.

I'm not sure what exactly "game that starts day phase" entails but it looks to me like all three of those started with a Day phase.

(You probably didn't mean your comment literally but it's a slow day at work and my boss is on vacation so I thought I'd check into it. Gives me something to post about, anyway.)

Quoting myself to not edit, this part wasn't meant snarkily or anything, I'm new and seriously wouldn't be able to tell the difference because every game I've ever ready starts "Day 1 go!" Like, does having a Night 0 Flavor mean it didn't start with day phase, or do some games actually open with a night action thing?

I disagree. If he had posted what you just quoted, that would not have been awkward. The way he posted was awkward, as I have broken down.

Cearly my opinion is an unpopular one so I won't push it anymore, but I'll be keeping an eye on Jam and everyone else should too.

You said it's scummy to care too much about what others think and give "unpopular" as the reason to drop it.

You say that you're going to drop it but then get in another parting shot in an overly dramatic way that makes it look like you're overcompensating.

Also all you've done is push a day 1 case on someone who is clearly going to have limited availability based on one post.

This is a lovely case, with lovely reasons to vote me.

1. If I didn't drop the case, people would continue to call me scum. If I did drop the case, people could say that I was folding to negative pressure. Caring about how I look, however, is not really a valid argument. You're buzzwording.

2. You haven't played with me before so I don't think you understand how I work, but "another dramatic shot" isn't a scumtell for me.

3. Kettle, pot, black. What have you done other than jump on a person a bunch of people said they would vote for? And who cares about Jams availability, he signed up for a mafia game and I'm going to analyze his postings as such. Should I give him a D1 pass because he's not around?

Thank you for sharing!

Hey sorry for all the drama this has caused, I really was just trying to give a heads up to an unexpected circumstance.

Anyway, this is mafia and I appreciate Quid looking into me but I'm not scum and you're wasting your time on a post that has absolutely no bearing on my alignment. I like how you did back off after others suggested it was a nontell, but I can't fault you for trusting your gut, however wrong it may be.

I've been following the thread but I find it hard to formulate arguments from my phone. I usually make cases with several tabs open, lots of quotes to keep my train of thought from derailing. I find it difficult to keep up without a traditional computer.

I would sub out but I should have internet within a few days, I mostly don't want to get turbod again or vig killed, as has happened in my last two games. I want to actually play a game of mafia as crazy as that sounds.

Okay that's all the meta talk I'm interested in doing. I'm camping spawn with smoke grenades and flashbangs. Who is coming with me?

I really hate self-voting and scum claiming on the same level and usually advocate for policy lynching in those cases, so whoever was self voting, stop doing that poo poo.

If you're town, you're an idiot going against your win condition.

Less than 24 hours til end of the day and you, Met, and Quidnose were the ones with votes. I half jokingly made a case for Met earlier based on something he said and that's really all that's happened in this thread outside of Quidnose breaking down your quote and rebuttals to him. Not really feeling Quidnose, and your last post made me not feel you anymore, so I put a vote down. It's been a really slow D1 (or maybe it's average, I dont know, I'm new) so there isn't hardly anything to go on. I mean, if you think I should go someone else, feel free to point to them, but the only other person that I feel could be pointed to is Quidnose because he's the only other person I've felt has made a substantial post that could be read into. Well I guess Science of Suck maybe.

Guess the whole of my point is "There's not really anyone posting for me to try to case and since I half made a case for Met I might as well see it through"

I would policy vote him if I didn't think he was a dumb newbie. I'm not opposed to your vote, it's how you cast it. You didn't say anything other than "I'm gonna hop on this bandwagon." But then you explained and I feel better about your vote.

I'm just confused why Met would want to self vote. It never makes any loving sense. If you want to die, then you don't want to play, and as such you should just sub out.

Yeah, I should have put my explanation with my vote. I'll make sure to do that from now on.

If he's town, then his self vote was just a D1 jokey joke that didn't go over well. If he's scum, it was a fun gambit (that he has done before).

I'm looking at Opoponax, Asiina, Ixt and motley but that's purely gut.

It's weird how opo has kind of taken to defending me, it feels kind of forced.

Asiina is way less active from what I remember of other games but I can't remember her alignment from those and it's really hard to meta argument on my phone.

Ixt and Motley have been posting without contributing and historically that is the easiest way to find scum imo.

##vote Motley
I think he has been the laziest and the scummiest of those I just mentioned.

Philip is always on my scumdar so I'm gonna be keeping an eye on him.

I will vote Met to avoid a no lynch but purely on policy. I really can't see incentive to draw that much attention to oneself as scum.

I think Quid is probably town. Everyone else I didn't mention either seem town or don't really seem scummy, yet.
