hello did you all know that the words idiot moron and imbecile were all scientific classifications for human beings who did not do well on IQ tests in the early 1900s

those are all medical terms that you can use today to call someone a stupid without insulting or denigrating a subset of the population because thanks to linguistics they've lost their association with actual peoples

the only reason you choose not to is because you cave into social pressures to 'fit in' by 'otherizing' the same group of people, whether you are conscious of it or not

let's all take a chill pill and recognize that theram is very, very wrong

hello! back to this game and it's really thick and most of it is flying over my head. i blame theram's logic for doing this to the game.

it feels like he's digging deep for some of his opinions rather than just actually jumping on suspicious behavior.

"instead of"? :raise:

i've already said why i think theram is scum. his story doesn't hold up. there's no reasonable thought process behind it. "i jailed diq, and there was a nightkill, therefore diq has a nightkill" is balls out ridiculous.

there's also the possibilities that:

ram is stupid
ram doesn't believe his own case but wants to see who might hop on an easy bad vote
ram is not a jailer but a roleblocker but wants to see who might defend diqnol in this situation
etc. etc. etc.

Otoh, I do believe it's likely for there to be an SK because why would scum kill somber when people thought he was scummy? It would be a good place for scum to hide. Maybe the scum kill got blocked

Poque posted:

I don't know if it fits anywhere but I'm also interested in nobody voting Diqnol based on that argument aside from Ram himself.

but that means two things:

1) no scum jumped on it
2) no town fell for it

which when you combine both you realize that:

1) everyone in the game thought it was stupid

you can also ask literally anybody in the thread that same question

i'm asking it to you because you're currently voting theram for a similarly bad line of logic

what is different? is it just that ram is more contentious?

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

Ernie are you saying my argument is stupid or wwm's?

wwm's

TheRam, Diqnol isn't a very loved person in our community. Why is it more likely that he attempted to kill, than that he was a kill target? It's not like someone's going to jump up and say 'haha i'm the second kill, it was me, i went for diqnol, he's innocent!'

chaoslord posted:

This will probably be a dumb question but what does an Arsonist do?

they're basically a serial killer

they douse their targets nights in advance and then light them on fire all at once killing all their doused targets in a single night (but averaging 1 kill per night)

I'll take an ernie swing on the condition that if I get NK'd you lynch Diqnol in my honour.

GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:

So, as I read it, the question all of you must ask yourselves is this: Do you think Ram entered the thread in a townie way? Don't worry so much about his explanations since, just look at how he entered the thread and his interactions with me and the votes on him. If you feel reasonably sure that he is town from that, please vote for someone else after explaining to me how you feel he's town. Really think about why I would be roleblocked by scum first, though.

This is a scum-post. You've been awfully quiet (compared to average diqnol) this game (sure ok you're sick). But the way you came back is with a post that I'd expect more out of scum diqnol. Why can't TheRam be town? He's been internally consistent. 'Really think about why...' is a fluffy meaningless sentence and it uses the same bad logic TheRam is using in the opposite direction at him, but it is no less fallacious.

GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:

Ram, as an aside, if you are a town rb, u r suxx0r. You not only roleblocked me but you played the rb on me very recklessly. Smart play is to wait it out until the next day to see if your current theory holds water. That you didn't, that I forced a jailor claim out of you, and that you tripled down on bad logic all sum up to you being scum fmpov.

This post feels more like gloating rather than disappointed in TheRam's play. A disappointed player would say something like 'take a step back and realize that we're both arguing the same way' or whatever. The entire phrasing of this post isn't what a town player trying to convince someone they think is 50/50 to back down, but of someone who knows TheRam's alignment and is playing around it.

GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:

Ernie's theory that I am not well liked is one of the silliest things I've ever read in a mafia game. Not only do I get by just fine but scum would want disliked townies around. Not sure what I think about Ernie beyond that, though, need to see if his other posts are that ridiculous.

And this post missed entirely what I'm trying to do. Not in a million years would I believe you'd stoop to the easiest case you can make on me. Whether or not I stated something that was true, I was baiting a particular reaction out of a player you think is scum. Interrupting that to side with him tells me you're preemptively hedging your bets. You have no interest in catching TheRam as scum but in your personal survival. You have no interest in catching scum bussing TheRam if he's scum because you would have just said 'Ernie is giving TheRam an out here' instead of 'Ernie something untrue about me omg'.

you're obviously not getting dunked

this is exactly why this post is also a scum-post by diqnol

it's not grounded in reality (he's lashed out at anyone calling him scum), and he's not at significant risk

this post isn't self-martyrdom, it's emotional manipulation

Pinterest Mom posted:

I actually wrote and deleted a substantially identical post to that earlier this morning but didn't post it because theram isn't worth engaging with like he's people. town definitely makes that post.

the gloating wasn't 'theram what are you doing' it was 'look at what i made you do, I MADE YOU CLAIM JAILOR' - in what universe do the following make sense concurrently

a) TheRam has a scum gameplan and I wish you all would see it
b) TheRam has acted and claimed based on my pressuring him

it's either/or
