This does not feel like it will lead to a scum flip, it's just 'gotcha' scumhunting. What have mafia values come to?

Pesuming that I am town and Epsilon is scum, what motivation does Epsilon have for pushing CT over me?

Lurkers (which i have unfortunately been so far oops) are generally easier to lynch than people who are around because lurkers are less likely to come to their own defense or have people come to their defense. So, he'd have to try less hard to get me lynched v. getting you lynched in theory

Sorry for the relative silence, folks; I've been coming out the other side of a bad cold (yeeeah dizziness and fever alldayerryday!) and have in general had a really hard time parsing this day, since it seems to be really focused on community meta that I don't really understand. I've had a hard time getting scum reads from it. My basic thoughts: my first impulse is to say that Somber is probably not scum, since I feel like scum would put up at least a token resistance to being turbo'd, although I know this is extremely WIFOM. In that light, I feel like Ras's vote on him is kind of easy -- sheeping off EXAKT's logic, which isn't amazing but at least is logic-shaped (based on meta). ##vote: Rascyc

I don't know why you think you're getting lynched, while you do have votes on you, they aren't that many right now and the trend of the thread is that people don't want to lynch you.

I was at four not that long ago. The way it looks, we're heading towards an apathy lynch. I wouldn't bet money that I make it through today.

I don't currently have any strong reads for either scum or town, tbh I've been very distracted by rl things (like i said in the thread just a while ago), but I feel like one of capps and YPM might be scum from how they hovered on the Proctor Cat vote for a while after their newbie status came out. I'm probably going to reread the thread tonight

Out of everything I've read so far, Chic Trombone is the most likely to be scum in my opinion. That is totally what I am doing. Playing. The probabilities. The numbers game. EXAKT Science posted:Do it. Somberbrero posted:Pesuming that I am town and Epsilon is scum, what motivation does Epsilon have for pushing CT over me? Well, you voted CT. This could be an appeal to get you on my side, given that I have previous experience with you tunneling me - anyone aware of our previous interactions could decide that if you're not pursuing me, I'm likely town. Convincing you early of my town-status would be a net win for me, as I don't know many of the players here, and people are more familiar with you than me.

It was this post that pinged for me: Your Personal Muse posted:I wish to murder this man/woman for this post. I do not like it and my bloodthirsty nature is rising up in me. This post smells of a scum who didn't have anything to say so they made a sly joke that implies they are town. Let us murder Epsilon and put his head on a stick, and then murder Proctor and put his head on a stick and then they can be stick buddies. You looked like you wanted to set up a chain-lynch, as I explained when Amoeba pushed me to elaborate on my reads. Amoeba102 posted:It's hard to tell Capps is even playing. yeah capps where are you?

If I were scum there are plenty of weak and awkward posts I could pick apart right now, I wouldn't need some Grand Design.

EXAKT Science posted:It was this post that pinged for me: You should have probably figured out why I was "pushing" proctor so bad before you assuming I'm setting up a chain lynch. In order to set up a chain lynch, I would have had to link Proctor and Epsilon and make their alignments dependent on each other. If I was trying to set up a chain lynch, it was when I said you and Proctor might be scum because you were defending Proctor so bad. But I didn't do that, because I am really good at mafia.

That's my biggest thing. Nobody else at this point is really bothering me as much as you. Y'all can say it's lovely all you want, but it's my current stance and until I find a more compelling vote I'm sticking with it.

This is you saying that if you were scum and Somber was town this is how it makes sense for you to be voting for Chic? Basically you are saying that by buddying up to Somber you would convince him of your towniness, and the rest of us would just assume you must be town because Somber thinks you are? I don't know how this makes me feel about you alignment-wise, but it does make me question how on earth your thought process arrives here.

How about Capps who's posts are even less game-related? How about YPM who has posted nothing but bluster? There's nothing wrong with asking you to either elaborate more on why Chic is scum or at least providing reasoning why she is scummier than other people that have done basically the same thing she has.

Epsilon seems like he is guilty of terrible reasoning, but it feels like if he were scum he would hop on a better bandwagon than this weak one on Chic.

Chic Trombone posted:Sooo your reason was that I extended a common courtesy that over half the people in the thread has also given to Proctor Cat? "over half the people in this thread" is waaay overstating it unless you consider "didn't vote Proctor Cat" to be the same thing.
