Ok I have the ability to add another fuel to the pile every day. The only drawback is, if I do that then I have to use a dayvig on that day, and only on one of the people who forage for the fuel.

So I propose that we make use of my extra fuel by choosing only scummy people to collect the fuel. Those people then give the fuel to the people who need it (byers says he needs it so give it to him) anyone that doesn't follow along with that plan I can immediately vig. If everyone follows the plan then we use my vig as an extra lynch and I vig a person that we agree to.

I just feel like it's in everyone's best interest to have as much fuel out there as possible. The only way I can add fuel to the mix is to also vig. I'm assuming the reason my role works this way is to balance out the pro-town fuel-adding with an anti-town vig. BUT a vig doesn't have to be anti-town if we play this right,

The point is, I like Byers' JakeP vote a lot more than QPQ's. I think JakeP was just making a joke about terminators and being not mechanical. I buy that it was a little forced but QPQ is ascribing a way more detailed thought process to that line than I think is reasonable and to whatever extent this vote is serious, and not trying to make some kind of joke, It's bad and scummy so: ##vote QPQ

I don't get it.

I don't think either vote for JakeP is a good one, and meinberg's could be described the same way that you are describing QPQ's

My gut says KFC might be right about QPQ. In particular, I didn't like the way he answered KFC's question about how serious he was:


This feels like a non-answer to give him maximum leeway to either stick with his vote ("I said I was serious") or change it ("Guys, it was one page into the game") later.

##vote QPQ

In the second scenario are you imagining that JakeP flipped town after the lynch and QPQ would be getting flack for it? I have a hard time extrapolating that far out, seeing as JakeP is nowhere near lynched. I could agree with it being scummy setting that up if it was closer to deadline or if this vote was thrown in with a bunch of other votes in quick succession.

As it is QPQ has expanded on that vote here and, to me, that reasoning doesn't sound forced or made up to legitimize the original vote.

I get your first post, but not this one. xopods might be wrong in his QPQ read, but it doesn't seem like he did so maliciously, which is what you're implying here.

He doesn't mention QPQ's explanation post to say he doesn't agree with it. He's omitting it, either through laziness (not re-reading QPQ's history) or in order to paint QPQ as scummier than he thinks they actually are (by omitting a, in my opinion, townie post that directly negates the one point Xopods is using to paint them as scummy).

In other news I got a major scum read on Meinberg, revel in how forced these posts read:

Meinberg posted:

Good morning folks. The fuel question is very interesting! I really don't have any need for fuel myself, but should I put myself on the line in order to open the pool for the dayvig? It's an interesting conundrum.

Meinberg posted:

I will agree that Magnus probably shouldn't use his ability on D1. There's too much of a risk of hitting town with the dayvig. As the game goes along and he starts getting more developed reads, then I'd be more okay with its usage.

To me though, when building a case on someone, you have to look at the entirety of their posting. This causes me a lot of problems when I try to build cases because I'll do what xopods did, find a post I think is scummy, then continue reading the persons post history and find that initial scumminess negated by subsequent posts. This leads to me building cases then abandoning them half-way through when I realize they are wrong. Xopods did not do this. He did not, that I can tell, consider the post history as a whole when building his case. Doing this in the early game when post histories are so short this seems scummy. Especially since the post that Xopods is voting over occured a couple pages ago and therefore had to be dug up in order to be highlighted.

Byers2142 posted:

If you start from xopods read of those initial posts, how does the subsequent posts QPQ made negate his interpretation? He said that QPQ left himself ambiguity in the early posts to be more definite in later posts without being committed one way or another, and you're pointing to a later post where he's more definite. There's no evidence that he didn't read the posts, he just left them out since they weren't relevant.

I think he's wrong in his case, but I don't agree that the way he framed his case was, itself, scummy.

Because I think that QPQ's reasoning for making that vote read as genuine- not something that was created on the spot. Maybe Xopods feels differently about that post, but if he did then you'd think it would only help to bolster his case against QPQ.


How do you feel about my case on meinberg? Do you agree those posts feel forced?

I need advice for my night action. Without going into details, I see two ways I can use it. One is somewhat safer and a more defensive move, one is more dangerous but a decidedly offensive move. Given I don't plan on living long, do y'all favor a risky offense or trying to set up a bit of defense?

Majority choice informs which way I go. The responsibility still rests with me since I'm still picking the targets, I'm just looking for advice on how to pick my targets.

I feel like this heavily depends on how strongly you feel about your reads when you end the day. If you feel strongly, go with offensive. If you feel wishy-washy go with defensive.

You could also WIFOM it and go with defensive to try and catchascumintheact (tm).

Regarding me and QPQ, if you guys think that subsequent non-Scummy posts retroactively make an earlier Scummy post non-Scummy, I don't know what to tell you.

That's the thing about this game though. Posts don't occur in a vacuum. When you pointed out your scummy post there were other posts to be examined/considered. I think those posts negate the scumminess of the post you highlighted. You ignore those posts in your original vote post. almost like you're looking for a scummy post to latch on to rather than trying to find evidence of a scum player.

##vote Xopods

If that was the only post that qpq had made at the time that you made your post then I would agree that it wasn't scummy. You were working with the information you had at the time, but you had more information to work with and you chose not to

As much as I'd like to agree, I'm not sure it is. He basically latched onto Meinberg right away, whereas I'm used to seeing him poke people until he finds someone he can get a rise out of and then latch on (usually to me). It's possible he just doesn't want to do that here because we're supposedly being nice, and is therefore sitting back until someone commits an unforced error, but so far it just seems to me like he finds the game uninspiring.

I don't see how he could find it uninspiring because I think this is probably the most scumhunting this early in a game I've seen in a while

Magnus the last thing you said was "let me ruminate on what I've been saying about Xopods and the fact that my order of events might be wrong and coloring my vision of him," and then you turn around a case meinberg out of nowhere. Can you explain your thought process that got you there, because I definitely don't get it.

My rumination included rereading and upon a re-read I found those posts by meinberg specifically the "Yay" post which made me look back at him.
