Why are you unvoting instead of voting for YPM if you're sure he's scum?

because i'm trying to work out if KFC is right about derp being scum as well. if that's the case I don't think him and YPM would both go after the same person since D1

Your Personal Muse posted:

I still have no clue what dugong's case on me is, but I don't like that he's been on it for so long.

Going back to FV, it seemed like Merk was trying to discredit the case on her and only gave in when he thought he could split the vote enough to cause a no lynch.

well I mean the only person you have voted this game is f_v

I'm not convinced by this, I'm sure you've played enough games to know it's better to try and read players as individuals rather than trying to judge one's alignment on another's unknown alignment.

My point is why take him to task over voting for a town player as though he was serious about voting for a town player, when you should take him to task instead for not being serious?

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

I'm tossing up between Derp being overt scum as a ploy to avoid being voted: "The whole too scummy to be scum defense, which makes people ask "why would you do that as scum? must be town"
And him literally just not caring to play seriously.

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

He's clearly been pushing agendas so he's been taking some stake in the game. I don't like how he pushed a case on FV as being more substantive than his gut call based on anonymous masonry chat. But his deadline play around merk is perplexing. I want to say that it's not something even a crazy scum would do, but just saying that makes me feel like I'm falling for a trap.

I'm stuck on FV for reasons I've discussed and uranus for the merk related behavior and continuing to be basically completely useless on d3. Could consider FV as something of a referendum on uranus but that feels at least potentially unwise.

I would also guess that 1 of merk's 3 picks is scum, but I haven't followed up there because chic and Pmom don't feel bussy and I thought dugong's interaction with me felt pretty genuine, so I'm not rating that suspicion very highly. If I followed that assumption I think I'd go with Pmom.

I wish I had a handle on more players though. Will try to look over lunch.

Reading players in a vacuum is crazy talk.

1. I thought YPM was scum.

2. I thought KFC was scum recently for the call on merk and derp's interaction

3. KFC shows a 2 year old game where merk and derp pull off a scum with through general weirdness

4. If KFC is right about derp then why would they go after the same person since D1? "yeah uh our tactic is just to try and turbo the same person over and over..."

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

Reading merk's post history and looking at what he's said about people there are really only 4 people he seemed to make useful comments on: Chic, FV, PMom and Dugong.

Chic: Heavy case out of the blocks, seemed to ignore it till reminded then tunnelled without pushing too much.
FV: Pretty much ignored until FV was the only other viable lynch.
PMom: Called them out then pointed to someone else's case.
Dugong: Used one post to eventually case with.

The Chic interaction does feel like setting up a 1 v 1 where someone will flip scum to exonerate the other. But that's the vibe from Merk's end because it's hard to read it without knowing it is fake. Chic's posts do feel genuine, however. I feel more like merk was picking Chic as a someone with an easily argued against case so he could have a strong case and then coast on it. It doesn't feel like Chic was in on it.

His avoidance of FV some might say is because he didn't want to bus, but I didn't get that. Maybe more like he was being more careful rather than suddenly having an opinion out of nowhere,

His call out on PMom is barely anything. He manages to do it backhandedly and call Rarity's case bad at the same time. It's like he wants to call PMom scum without it leading anywehre.

Dugong's post is just an easy call out on someone he think would be an easier lynch.

I reckon his opinion on PMom is the most telling out of all his content.

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

Counterside to this is reading PMom's post history. It all seems mostly on the up and up, but I get the feeling of sometimes they are jumping on things to point out as scummy that don't really feel like it to me. Sure it could just be a difference of opinion, but it could be that they are looking for things to twist.

More specifically, the vote on tremendous taste. The post in which PMom votes for TT, there is a little bit about how TT is being contradictory or whatever. TT wasn't being contradictory/ TT had the stated position that it was too soon to call for SK, but because I was more certain of an SK that I was scum hunting for an SK. That's not a contradiction, one was TT's opinion on the game and one was an opinion on how he perceived my actions and mindset. By trying to construe TT as being contradictory PMom has reached too far. There were things about TT's play I would have called sucmmy, but his explanation of leaps of logic make sense as plausible.

If you want to talk about merk's posting history, talk about it. Nobody's stopping you, and I agree that that's the right place to start.

Hrm for someone who agreed that this was the right place to start you sure didn't do anything about it. The only thing you've done in the 2 days since this post was ask someone else to summarize the case on FV which I did for amoeba pretty clearly a while ago, and FV being one of the most talked about people in the thread, it's a bit strange that you didn't notice anything anyone said that you felt was worth responding to. Would vote Zzyzx

Amoeba, I was trying to figure this out earlier and I like how you're thinking about it. When Pmom seemed to miss that Ernie had flipped was when I got suspicious. Pmom is very vocally against merk's chic case and then hops on merk after Byers' case as only the third vote. That's a seriously pro move bus if that's a bus. Do I give pmom credit for that and think it's more plausibly than the other scummy things we see? Right now my answers are no,

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

Can someone reiterate the cases on FV? From what I can tell, derp is tunelling with a gut call, Chic thought the interactions with merk were scummy, and YPM is his day 1 case which, honestly, makes a good amount of sense. But it's a single point case that hasn't been developed since - poo poo if I was playingly D1 I might have notcied it then. Now though it seems like there should be more.

Maybe not; but I was coming at it from the mindset of "Which of merk's interactions were with scum". I felt his call out of PMom was most like a bus than any others and so I loooked at PMom to actually do the case fully. I admit it's pretty weak as the only point I can get PMom's posting is that they appear to be twisting things slightly.

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

If I'm to make an ordered list or something it would have:

Zzyzx
Derp
FV
PMom

Reasons:
Zzyzx - Low engagement at this point of the game, no follow throughs, but mostly deadline antics
Derp - Overselling his masonry 'evidence', Non-serious posting at this point of the game, and definitely deadline antics
FV - No follow through on D1 call out, KFC's points "Fv is scum for prodding people into claiming effects from the map change, then being ludicrously defensive when the idea was even brought up. "
PMom - I get a sense of looking for things to call out but not in a genuine way.

This post is stupid as hell cause zzyzx didn't even join the game until after Somber flipped, so what the hell is the point of the second half of this statement?
