##vote Rarity

I agree with Ecco. At first I though, too dumb to be scum, then I remembered that's not a thing. Feels like it came from a place of forced confusion.

I also think Ecco and Chili are both fairly town (Hi Chili!)

What is the case on Chili? It looks like various newbs are jumping on him for something that I genuinely am unaware of. Someone whanna clarify for me?

Pig, what's with the sudden burst of goofiness? It felt like you were kinda playing the game and then stopped to jump back into old Pig style posting.

Also, rarity trying to present her own meta is massively scummy to me.

Asiina is kinda pinging my gut too,

Asiina posted:

Ecco your case is really, really reaching into setup spec. I am absolutely not buying it.

Instead of just saying "this is the best we have for 24 hours into D1" why don't you comment on some of the other people who have been talking.

Asiina posted:

I feel like fake claims are pretty standard issue these days, so I dunno. Not really feeling that as a scum slip either.

Committing to this case rather than using it as a starting point for discussion is more the issue I have with Ecco right now. I really want to hear what she has to say on other people.

Also in light of mafia discussion chat, I'm willing to give Squid another day.

Feels like they weren't written by the same person imo, which makes me think neither is how you really feel.

EccoRaven posted:

It's possible, but, if it is then she's town who looked at the warnings in the OP ("your flavor could get you killed, don't claim it!"), and looked at us talking about it in the pre-game ("oh that's interesting we better not do that!"), and said "you know what? I'll do it anyway, to heck with it."

The line between "bad town" and "lying scum" is a fine one but I feel she falls on the scummy side of it.

I agree with this.

So I could set up a joke. I didn't read the OP that closely.

Neither did I but I still knew that flavor is tied to role. And I can't imagine you didn't even google Hadvar on Skyrim wiki before bursting in here shouting your name from the rafters.

So has the case on Rarity moved beyond "she said a thing, it's possible she wasn't being truthful so let's squint at it really hard and maybe we can figure out if it's a lie without any other context" yet? Other than CPig, who's offering the very helpful "she's scum."

I guess the only good thing to come from this pointless discussion is that I'm pretty sure Byers is town, because scum wouldn't go ham with something so limp on Day 1.

How does any of that make him scum, Chili

Sandwolf
Jan 23, 2007

Chili seems really earnest and genuine, so I don't think he's scum. It feels a bit forced but I think that's just because this is his first game in a while and he seems really excited to play, almost trying to speed the game up in the process (I.e. Validate a gut call on Pope)

Hypothesis. Byers is making a dumb case and trying to goad me into posting about it at length because he wants us to ignore him. He wants us to know he's posting, but by tunneling on a dumb case, he wants us to not pay any attention to him.

Does this seem likely? It certainly seems possible imho.

I'll give you possible, but likely? I dunno. If he doesn't let off this tunnel-vision it's going to look scummier and scummier, and I doubt he's willing to commit that hard to white noise posting when usually he's pretty good at this game.

I think he's just stuck in one of those "gotchas" where only you see it. It happens to just about everyone in mafia.

Honestly, both of you shut the gently caress up. This is the least productive conversation I've ever had to read. Everyone in this loving thread has probably made their mind up about this whole issue and neither of you are on the chopping block so let it go and let's MOVE ON.

Chili posted:

To what exactly?

I'm happy enough for this to continue and allow folks to at least have something to talk about.

Anyone else think I'm scum, and care to explain why?

MOVE ON TO LITERALLY ANYTHING - I'm tired of reading the same thing over and over again. If you all really whanna let Byers and Ecco slap fight for the rest of the day, go for it. But I don't think either of them are particularly scummy and it gives actual scum a chance to hide in plain sight because they don't have to say anything when BYERS AND ECCO: TALE OF TWO DUMMIES is the focal point of this whole day.

It's a subtle difference but I assure you it is an important one.

Hey Sandwolf what do you think about I dunno let's go with Cap Pig?

Everyone who votes for me on D1 is scum, its a proven fact.

I didn't put down a grandiose case because not every case needs to be grandiose and furthermore, it's hard to make a D1 damning case. Instead, I'm posting my feelings as they come, if someone feels scummy I say so and vice versa.

Reminder that this is the sum total of Rarity's contributions to the game so far:

- Claiming her flavor in her first post
- Talking about how she claims flavor in her first posts
- Making a case against Pig that amounts to "you're being unhelpful and distracting"

That's pretty much it.

I mean even if you don't like my fakeclaim-case on her, her lack of participation should be telling too right?

What I think is especially telling is that she disappeared once it became Ecco v. Byers instead of having any real focus be on her.
