Is this a real game?

I'm confused, so that's probably a good sign that it's Twin Peaks.

I really don't know, my life has been crazy so I've barely been skimming this game and I can devote very little time to this tonight. I will read the vote leaders though.

Hal is lurking, but that's not unusual and basically a null tell for Hal.

PMom I get a good feeling about. He's putting down reads which is nice. I believe it's real effort.

I didn't like this post since it's implying that yuming's posts are scummy without actually saying anything about her particular posts. She doesn't even quote a post that she is getting this ~feeling~ off of.

My parties are much cooler than that Rarity. Sometimes a dude brings out his acoustic guitar and then you know the thing is blowing up.

Actual true story, I lived with a guy who decided he was going to be in charge of the party mix at one of our things and it turned out he made a mix that was just the below song over and over.

I have an allergic reaction to most all of Ryan Murphy's stuff so that's colored my perception a good bit so take everything I will say about AHS with a grain of salt. Jessica Lange can chew scenery like a boss though/Kathy Bates' accent is terrible.

Hope things get better Asiina :3:

Also yeah, I am cautious before I hitch my wagon to it, since Coven was such a disaster. I really did enjoy Murderhouse and Asylum though so maybe they'll stick to a consistent plot this time?

Also Kathy Bates' accent drove me crazy trying to place it during the show, and then I figured it out afterwards. It's a Baltimore accent and I know it from John Travolta's performance in Hairspray.

I missed it because busy, but that Tithin exchange at the end of the day was terrible as hell. He votes with an OMGUS and when called out on it by 8bux he dismisses his argument (calls it a gut read????) and tries to redirect it back onto 8bux. The bad vote and the aggressive defense read very scummy to me. Would vote.

PMush I also still think her content has been fishy. I still don't like that post about yuming. I'm suspicious and want to see more content from her.

Feeling pretty good about 8bux and yuming.

You realise you did #2 yourself right? He said he thought you were scum so you upgraded your opinion from "might" vote tithin to "definitely" vote tithin.

This is pretty ridiculous. I agree with PMush that tithin said a really scummy thing by admitting he only voted at all because of OMGUS. Just because it was against her doesn't mean that her statement was also OMGUS.

You are totally mischaracterizing what happened.

yuming posted:

Let's not get into some long this is how so and so usually posts let's reference this old game blah blah blah.

Because that is a good way to make a lot of words that are easy for scum to participate in.

These two posts seem contradictory, since MMM has been making a lot of meta cases.

yuming posted:

idk I have a soft spot for new players :sun: tithin's perspective seemed sincere.


With her latest post on wrt me I think I have pinpointed what I dislike about Asiina's posting.

Day is wrapping up, MMM was the voteleader--

This is not a solid stance and leaves room for either a vote or a defense of MMM.

Asiina's perspective in that she is tossing out lines but not making solid calls.


The point she's making about my posts contradicting is a nitpick and it reads to me like she is making up things to contribute to the game.

To clarify my POV: MMM's amount of effort reads town on tone. But I don't want him to lead discussion to something that will not produce further useful reads.

Thank you for clarifying. I have made solid calls. I've made a scum call on tithin (who I'm voting for) and town calls on you and 8bux.

As for MMM, when I made that post he was being incredibly unclear and basically using meta to make gut reads. He had posted a whole lot of words about fv that basically amounted to this:

MildManeredManikin posted:

Alright let me say this properly.

I'm not saying that you post like that only as scum. I'm saying that the style of posting you have can be used with a town or scum perspective and I think in this game you are using it in a scum way.

This is the clearest post he makes against fv, and it's still nothing definite about her posts in this game.

He then made a whole bunch of cryptic posts about Rarity's posts and getting ready for his "big case" and I hadn't been back to the thread since then until just now.

I've read his case on Rarity and I think that it's finally good effort about posts that are in this game. I like the effort and feel that MMM is town.

That said, I still feel that tithin has been a whole lot scummier than Rarity so I'm keeping my vote there.

I'm not 100% confident with this but survivor would make for a great aggressive scum fakeclaim here. There's still a little bit of niggling doubt in the back of my head but that might just be the normal endgame doubt, I don't have enough experience to tell the difference.

I'm not sure what to make of MMM's claim. He's done really good scum hunting and made quite a bit of effort. He started a deadline turbo which usually reads scummy to me, but tithin turned up town, so why go through the effort to save him? I was pretty confident he was town before his claim. Maybe he really is a survivor and fine winning with scum. The issue is that we really can't do anything about it if he's telling the truth.

I more want to talk about PMush, fv, and derp. PMush has been sitting at 2 votes for a long time. Surely scum would have rushed in to hammer if all the people involved are town, so there must be scum among those three.

Of them, I think it's PMush.

She's been incredibly inconsistent all game on her opinions of people.

She can never make her mind up about yuming:

Poison Mushroom posted:

A shame you rolled scum again, yuming. Better luck next time! :sun:

Poison Mushroom posted:

Strong gut read.

Poison Mushroom posted:

This is starting to feel like the yuming I know.

Goes back on it.

Poison Mushroom posted:

Sure, why not. What about yuming? This doesn't seem like her town posting to me, but it's been a long time since I was in a game with her, and even longer since I was in one where she actually had the time and energy to post, so my gut feelings on her might be based on outdated information.

Poison Mushroom posted:

To put it another way, the yuming I know is always confident in her gutreads, almost to a fault. That she isn't acting that way this game is what put me on edge.

Back to a scum read, but hedging.

She hedges about tithin:

Poison Mushroom posted:

I can't tell if tithin is just like this, or if this is really a scum meltdown, but it's super entertaining, all the same.

Poison Mushroom posted:

Correction: Would definitely vote tithin.

Tithin is definitely scum!

Poison Mushroom posted:

I think I'd also vote Tithin, but more in a "better than a no-lynch or a MMM lynch" way.

Where'd that confidence go?

Poison Mushroom posted:

That entire post was, boiled down, a whole lot of words for "these two voted me and I don't like it, and yes I realize that saying this sounds scummy". That's like three strikes of scummy posting at once.

1. Making big posts that seem to say a lot but really don't.
2. Calling someone scum because they called you scum.
3. Being very focused on others' perceptions of your posts and if they think you're scummy.

I've been guilty of all of these things at one time or another, so maybe I'm just being too hard on the new(ish) guy, but all together, along with the rest of his content-free posting, it looks pretty bad.

Oh there it is!

Poison Mushroom posted:

Well, I'm here, but looks like we're not lynching.

:shrug:

And then she never votes him.

And once again with MMM:

She does a lot of chitchat with MMM asking him for reads.

Poison Mushroom posted:

Hey, MMM.

What do you think of Eight right now?

Poison Mushroom posted:

Sure, why not. What about yuming?

Then comes out with a very strong town read

Poison Mushroom posted:

For whatever it's worth, I'm feeling pretty town on MMM and wouldn't vote him even to avoid a no lynch today.

Then follows it up with this (which may be a joke, I can't tell)

Poison Mushroom posted:

MMM, are you still under post count? Your posting is coming across as rather hyper active.

And the next time she talks about MMM it's to vote for him

Poison Mushroom posted:

##vote MMM

I think I'll use a different gimmick/meta next game. This one is fun but not really working out.

Poison Mushroom posted:

My gimmick/meta this game is :effort:. Normally I burn myself out by trying too hard to too little effect. So now I'm trying, as I said, just coasting the whole game.

You have no such excuse for such a lazy read.

Poison Mushroom posted:

I just explained it. MMM's reads were really lazy.

That's quite a shift from "absolutely definitely town" to "you are giving lazy reads and are a scum". All of these feel like she wants to look like she's making strong reads but then is distancing herself from them for when they flip.

The only other people she's pushed for are the lurker Hiipfire (which she goes back on), derp for contentless posting which is a lazy case when we're talking about mr. anus, and 8bux for reasons I still don't understand when even through his gimmick 8bux was producing content and attempting to get others to produce content.

I'm quite confident that PMush is a scum.

Absolutely would vote.

I am writing an effortpost to respond to MMM but in the meantime can people give me their opinion on lynching Hiipfire and why or why not?

I'm convinced PMush is scum, and could buy Hiipfire as a scumbuddy she was distancing from. If I had to give a third scum, I'd say Rarity. I think MMT and fv are town. I also missed the survivor breadcrumb, but I believe MMM now. Still fairly null on derp, but I honestly always have a hard time reading him.

The reason I'd much rather vote PMush over Hiipfire is that we have to get this right and she is my strongest read by a wide margin.
