I'm having trouble believing the argument that grandi is scum. What usually feels scummy to me is when someone gets really defensive and tries to point to someone else immediately as scum.

Still don't know who to arm though. I kind of like True's idea to arm someone we are unsure about to find their allegiance.

I just wanna ask, PMom, and those that voted to arm him - what is it about grandi that makes you think he's scum? If anyone has a good argument for it I'll definitely consider rethinking my stance.

If people want to arm me, I will pledge to use it democratically and let people vote on who should be shot (before the D1 deadline). Basically, I will make it a second lunch.


I cased Grandi earlier, thoughts on that?

Hm I guess I can see what you are saying but I don't think the "concern" is definitively a scum tell.

I do like the idea of a democratic shooting although it seems really early to be able to accurately tell who's scum. There's obviously more of a chance we end up shooting/lynching town just because of the numbers. I guess I need more info.

This post is a waste of words.

I think we need to give the gun to anyone but PMom. Not bc I necessarily think he's scum (not sure yet) but because we won't learn anything from the experience.

PMom shoots grandi. If grandi flips scum, fine. Probably a lucky shot. If grandi flips town, PMom shrugs and says it was a poor read. Then if PMom is scum, we let it go as an accident.

I'd much rather see the gun go to someone who we don't know who they will choose to kill. I think this would give us more information.

Narco has been playing, she has opinions down. I don't know why she needs to go think about who might be scum. It's way too safe. Insecure town are usually much less active in my experience.

I'm not sure why you're casing me so hard. I am absolutely town this game. If you want to see how I act as scum, check out my last game. Ideally, you won't be able to tell the difference since that's kind of the point. Is there anything I can do or say to prove that I am town and get you off my back?

I see what you're saying PMom but I don't necessarily want to say somber is scum just bc he is naming me.

I wish I had more of a read on anybody, which is why I said I'll go through the thread again. Unfortunately I'm at work right now so I can only post intermittently and not read an entire thread carefully. Maybe somber doesn't want me to reread the thread bc he says scummy things earlier in it? Idk.

Okay I just did a massive re-read. The people who are really sticking out to me as acting strange/scummy are somber and pmom. Also, merk kind of went psycho about pmom's "scumslip" but I'm not sure how to read that.

So somber basically came into the thread at the very beginning of day 1, during jokephase, and randomly pointed a finger at me. It was strange. I think he would have just picked anything "out of the ordinary" just to try to look like he was scum hunting. The case against me is extremely weak and I think was predicated just on the fact that I made an awkward comment (in his view). He continued to ask people to dunk me on day 2 for some reason. idk.

I know I'm not the only one to think that pmom is acting scummy.
1. He was the first one to offer to take the gun. I think this act was less about wanting to shoot grandi than it was to make sure he wouldn't get shot.
2. Posts this list of possible scum

Pinterest Mom posted:

We have plenty of good dunk candidates! A lot of people have made bad/sketchy posts.

Somber's weird obsession with AN
Grandi~
Poque's selective engagement with the thread only when he doesn't have to make alignment calls
Merk voting to arm me based on phony reasoning
Little Mac, on a lurker case.

and then votes for Hal after merk makes a case on him. This is especially interesting because of how combative pmom has been throughout the game. To vote with no reasoning based on a single post seems out of character to me. He then continues to bandwagon onto LM and then font.

I'm honestly really surprised that font got lynched. I brought up something that seemed suspicious to me but I couldn't believe how fast everyone flipped.

Also the reason that I voted font is because I think flips give us valuable information and lynching someone I was suspicious of seemed better than lynching no one.

Feels like a scum vote with forced justification but no actual case of its own. Examples of finger-pointing to avoid being targeted, specifically?

Just the fact that he seems to find everything scummy. See this post where I wrote a lot of stuff. He's pointing at anyone and everyone.

Reminder that I've disliked merk from his very first content post in the game:




I say I want the gun to shoot Grandi, and merk agrees to arm me because... he wants to see how I'll handle the shoot and who I'll kill? It's nonsensical.

this is a good point and I'm not saying I'm "on merk's side" because I don't necessarily think he is town either. I'm having a hard time reading both of you and most of what you have said just seems...not right.

Not trying to rehash old points, but on a reread this stuck out - you got your role PM which presumably mentioned NATO Operative, your win condition, and no scumbuddies or special abilities, and you needed to clarify that this was Vanilla Town? What else did you think it could have been?

This is a good point. My VT PM specifically said I have no powers or special abilities. I agree that it's suspicious to say that he had to clarify his role.

Isn't that just scumhunting though? Why would he bother to point a finger at himself? Moreover, pointing is rude. Is it specifically Pinterest Mother's aggression that leads you to believe he's scum?

This is a bad vote. If you're going to vote Pin Mom you should just be honest and say you're doing it because it's what merk wants. Saying otherwise at this late juncture looks fake.

...I don't care what merk wants. This is something that sticks out to me. Scumhunting is one thing, but finding something scummy in every single other player kinda defeats the whole purpose. Basically PMom is saying that everyone BUT HIM is doing scummy things.
