Yeah, just lunch one today. I've been scum in multiple LO games and in each one of those games we got the town to mislunch multiple times in a day for a win.

Ernie, your vote on Somber is because you're saying Somber's post was white noise, yes? Even if he's telling the truth about pulling that off as scum?

Somber, what was the scum LO game you're referencing?

Spongebob and Murder Lottery.

It's obviously a relevant point because it's something we're going to discuss at least a little bit today.

You have a good point. It is difficult to lie twice in one post...

Byers has convinced me that theRam is not lying.

also I really like the idea of waiting 24 hours first to see if we get additional information to work wtih.

Amni this is strange. Did you not think Ram was lying to begin with or what?

Why like the callout? Why expect a vote? I think that Morn's post was spot-on, not worthy of a callout or a vote.

I think that being aggressive is usually good play that facilitates scumhunting, "if you see something, say something." What bothers me is that Morn didn't get a vote but I did.

Unless I'm mistaken, Amni's still on the "TheRam seems scummy" bandwagon, but unvoted because of my timing comment. He's being a smartass. Unless you seriously think Amni can't comprehend someone lying twice in a post.

Okay, I was confused.

I'm not feeling Ram. It seems strange to make yourself a target with a bizarre role claim right off the bat as scum.

maybe don't call people stupid when they disagree with you, if you want to convince them.

i'm trying desperately to avoid getting sucked into communicating with ram again but it's so hard. i absolutely agree with Mornacale that a town mind is absent from Ram's posting, even down to his pronoun use and phrasing. scummy posting seems to be his MO though.

The mod ended the game because he made some role too powerful or something like that.

I just know that I was tracker in that game and I wanted to get into john malkovich so bad (lol) because it made me super tracker that could watch/track everyone in the game or something ridiculous like that.

It's not a meta read. I'm dismissing a meta read based on my understanding of Pig having been a scum teammate of his multiple times. Why would your understanding of my understanding of Pig's meta be more valid than my own understanding?

Pin you smell. I'm not attacking Pig for not contributing early on day one. I'm saying that it is weird and unnatural to chime in to contribute irrelevant content while not commenting on any of the relevant content happening around you. I think voting me for generating content you don't like on day one is a bum move.

Byers, I can't find the post I read last night on my phone right now but I'm not making meta arguments, I'm engaging with people who are making meta arguments. I don't think that has any relevance anymore but I want it noted on the record.

Yo Somber, care to offer a little more detail on the bolded?

Yeah let me see if I can find something without scratching out my eyes.

TheRam posted:

How about this, if I make a good case, convince the town and they flip scum maybe you humour me with a potential second lynch since my powers increase? I'm hoping my powers include BP, and I'm kind of assuming that power level 2 will at least involve some way to prevent myself getting NK'd. I'm making quite a lot of assumptions about my role I guess, but it's a weird role and I'm trying to figure out why it exists in this setup.

D1 made sense for me to claim because it comes with the greatest probability of the availability of other town roles being able to help me or at least gain information from my death if a successful scum lynch and power up happens, and yes, it's the day where we know we're not immediately on LYLO's doorstep.

Does my request sound reasonable? Also I like your last idea it seems pretty townie and it shows you're reading the thread, but I made my first post without reading the thread sorry. I sat there with my role PM and thought about it a little, I thought about whether or not I would damage the game or go against any intentions of my role. I don't see good odds on my role happening unclaimed, so I claimed. I'm VT otherwise, so #yolo even if I go down in a blaze of glory town benefits imo.

I didn't post this originally because no one is going to take it seriously, but this is one of the better examples of Ram's strange phrasing. This is super goony but Ram seems to refer to the town in the third person a lot. It bothers me.
