Murmur Twin posted:

Just a thought - while I fully support modkilling inactive players, please try and keep "active content" in mind because I think it's a better metric than postcount. Some people (like yours truly) have a tendency to bunch multiple trains of thought into single posts and shouldn't (in my opinion) be punished for it.


Like this post could have easily been split into 10 separate small posts to beat the threshhold, I assume he didn't do this for readability's sake and shouldn't be punished for that. Similarly, Kumba will probably make the post quota limit, but hasn't really posted anything of use.

Right now, whichever of Kumba, FV and Somber (in that order) would be my preferred votes if imgay doesn't get momentum, assuming they're not in the firing line for modkills. They all have a "hiding in plain sight" thing and don't seem particularly invested in catching scum at the moment.

Come on, almost all this game happened over the weekend. Ascribing alignment value to anyone based on scheduling conflicts is silly. If you want a lurker dunk you at least should have been honest about it rather than obfuscating your intention with the pretense of an alignment call based on lurking.

Yeah, voting a lurker is dumb.

Lurking is always anti-town behavior. However, it's alignment neutral. There are plenty of reasons why anyone wouldn't post that have nothing to do with the game. I almost gave a full recap of my weekend here to evidence how ridiculous the 'hiding in plain sight' hypothesis is. Voting someone based on lurking, while maybe something you could argue improves the quality of the game, is not scumhunting. Both scum and town lurk.

Pretending that a case on lurkers has anything at all to do with hunting scum is scummy. MT is picking on targets that no one cares about and who probably wouldn't be around to defend themselves. Especially with the modkill threats, there's no way her case is genuine.

I want to talk a few things out with him, but that slot definitely still feels like scum to me. I don't really want to vote MT today, in large part because MCS is voting her, and he's giving me serious ~vibes~ because of the way he's aggressively misinterpreting my posting and doesn't really have any opinions of his own whatsoever, except that I'm an idiot from OWS for making an effort to whip votes onto one of my scumreads :wtc:

That seems like a huge misinterpretation / overreaction to what I said. I can't believe you're accusing me of obfuscating my intent when I've made it abundantly clear that my vote is staying on imgay until (a) I see a better case or (b) there is a risk of a no-lynch if I'm holding out.

I'm ascribing alignment value on scumhunting done thus far, and when I made that post you voted Sam for a single post near the start of the game and didn't offer any updated opinions. I totally get that the weekend is a low-posting time and anyone I mentioned as "potential lurker scum" will be off the list as soon as I get the sense that they're trying to find scum.

This was all of your posts at the time, can you really not see why I might be suspicious of you?

Again I say put yourself in my shoes. You see WWM change his mind with no explanations and write a case asking him to explain it, and then someone else claims they breadcrumbed confirmed town masons earlier. You go back, don't see the breadcrumb - do you post the case anyways or do you delete it?

What is more likely?

(a) I saw an inconsistency in WWM's posting, called it out, saw a reference to a breadcrumb but couldn't find it, and made the post saying I didn't buy into the masonry yet? or
(b) I, as scum, figured the correct way to stay under the radar would be to drive a lynch into confirmed town after my tunneling on someone based on a flavorclaim didn't work.

I would still likely to see WWM answer my post but yes, I do not think he is a good vote in light of the claim. ##unvote

the probably there is that it doesn't at all mesh with your previously stated position. abandoning your previous, scummy position doesn't mean it disappears. and no, i don't see how my posting made you suspicious. the lack of my posting should have made it impossible for you to think i was suspicious because there was nothing there.

aughhh but i don't get that at all. Posting content in high volume is inherently pro-town but ultimately alignment neutral, it's just the inverse of lurking. The same way you shouldn't vote someone for lurking, you shouldn't not vote someone because they're posting.

##vote Somber - he's not looking for scum, he's trying to drive the vote on me by referring to my posts with dismissive language. I've explained my thought process behind every single post he's accusing me of, and rather than acknowledging my answers or trying to interact with me he just keeps doubling down.


To Somber: You shouldn't vote for people based on # of posts, you should vote for them based on whether you think their attempt to hunt for scum is genuine. I've given my reasons for everything I've done and yet you don't seem to want to acknowledge this.
To non-Somber: please read through his post history and ask yourself if he sounds like someone who doesn't know the scum is. He's starting with a conclusion (I am scum) and then retroactively justifying it.

dismissive language? where? I'm very annoyed that you'd suggest that, I feel like I've gone out of my way to be respectful.

explanations are not excuses. if i find your explanations inadequate then i will continue to call attention to them. where have i ignored your posts?

I have no idea what you're talking about in regards to number of posts. It doesn't seem to have any relevancy to this game. i've evidenced how your cases and arguments do not make sense and are not genuine.

While I agree with you that # of words doesn't mean poo poo, the thing to look for is whether you think the person you're casing is being genuine or lying.

For example, when I asked

okay. how is that relevant? my casing is based on your explanations for scummy behavior, in the instances in which you've provided them and haven't just ignored me, being insufficient.

Who was hunting serial killers now? :smugdog:

In all seriousness, I have no idea what to make of that night kill. I won't get a chance to re-evaluate things until tomorrow night though. I'm going to back away from Uranus since his play at the end of D1 was a lot better and I shouldn't rest a case on a flimsy D1 premise. Of the active players the two I want a closer look at is exakt, because I seriously think Meds has a point about exakt's casing in this game, and murmur but mainly because she has so much going on that I need to take the chance to put it back in order.

you, it was you hunting serial killers. claiming credit for that means nothing as to your alignment.

i see exakt's socratic casing method as value neutral tbqhwy but casing anyone based on the night kill is out-and-out wrong and scummy as poo poo. the 'oh geez wow weird' reaction to imgay flipping feels phony. same goes for mithross but he's not trying to define the narrative for today based on the kill.

Yesterday I thought that your play felt town and you were always the person on the imgay push that I suspected least of being scum. That continues to hold today.

I'm not casing based on the nightkill. I was surprised by the choice because imgay was the vote leader for a large chunk of Day 1, and that combined with his being the NK target makes me suspicious because it says to me that the scumteam thought that imgay was someone to be afraid of and didn't want to risk leaving him alive for another day to try to push for a misdunk on him.

you say you're not casing based on the night kill but then the start of your next sentence reads into the choice of the nightkill.

hey if we're going to read into the nightkill then why wouldn't it be possible that imgay could have been murdered as a frame job? normally i would say that's stupid and wrong but here someone comes out of the gate at the start of the day pushing a narrative based on the kill.
