merk always does this as scum.

merk never does that as scum.

merk only does this as town.

I've never seen merk do that as third party.

This is a great case, but in Megaten Mafia merk was a Town Doctor who used quotation marks in two posts in a row and was killed night 1. I don't want to vote out a power role on day 1.

Who are you pandering to with this case? I find your use of disingenuous disingenuous in and of itself, and your case is based on a pedantic read of what merk said about merk.

Merk what is my meta?

I don't really try to meta you. I think your content usually speaks clearly to me, at least I think it does. However, it's really tough to read your content when you lurk, and you do lurk a lot. This is my bowmore meta lurk map:
If you aren't lurking, you're town or scum based on content.
If you're lurking and make like ten posts in a row after an obvious mod probe, you're scum. It's tough because sometimes you lurk as town too. In those cases, though, you don't put in the big fake effort after the mod probe.

I also want to clarify one thing:
Keane joking is not indicative of him being town or scum. I've seen him do both. Don't confuse my Diqnol vote to say anything about Keane.

Diqnol attacking a Keane joke is indicative of Diqnol being scum because Diqnol cannot possibly take that Keane post seriously. Diqnol's content is fake.

Way too engaged in setup/role spec and no where near engaged enough in finding scum.

This feels like a good vote. Around the whole Ernie claim thing, Byers happily dove into it and didn't really say much about anything else. This post is especially indicative of content that doesn't matter in the slightest:

Byers2142 posted:

I'm not convinced on the claim yet, honestly. I keep going back and forth because making the claim as he did lines up perfectly with him being the scum nightkiller or an SK and trying to set up to avoid being labeled as such, but it's an Ecco game. I'm stuck in this weird loop of whether or not I would believe Ecco would make a role like that.

I disagree with lynching someone I think is town. Plain and simple. There should never be a role that is so anti-town that you will lynch it regardless of alignment. It's not fun and goes against the point of the game, which is at the end of the day to lynch scum. If I think Ernie's town, I will not vote to lynch him.

I actually think Ernie is scummy for running that gambit. If he's scum, it gave scum the opportunity to say stuff about something they know will be retracted or proved to be wrong later.

I also don't agree with the gambit if he's town, it gave the scum opportunity to easily fake content while cloaked in the 'what is this claim' discussion.

Under either alignment of Ernie, I think Byers stuff is the most fake content.
