Quoting the below for context i.e. what Epsilon responded to:

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

This is a bad post. It is super self conscious that he's telling us why it's a short post.

The bolded part is where he basically called quid scummy... But then back tracked on it later in this post.


If he didn't think quid was scummy, just posting shittily, A. Why would we care and B. Why would he bother showing us "rad examples"

This whole thing is really weird and he's been pinging me since day 1.

##vote epsilon

... and his post...

Epsilon Plus posted:

a. if I don't tell people why I'm barely posting people assume it's because I'm intentionally lurking, which is not the case

b. if I wanted to call Quidnose scummy, I would - my number one Mafia pet peeve is one player dictating the flow of the entire game and bossing people around. Quidnose has more than a fifth of the total posts this game and a significant number of them are him trying to dictate the flow of the game. I don't think he's scummy. I think scum daykilling a godfather would be a ballsy move, yes, but I don't think it would be effective in the long run. What I am thinking is that Quidnose is driving the discussion so hard that anyone that disagrees with him is going to get flattened, and if he's wrong and we keep following him, welp
The response re: (a) is super self-conscious.

As for (b), Its like the response I wanna make to this is sorry that Quid is pushing hard, generating content that your scum heart can't retort to? Better responses to AN's criticism of your posting would be:

- gently caress off.
- I'm busy give me time I can't show you rad stuff cause I do more than play mafia.
- Quid made a lovely post I'm just not ready to drop the hammer on him.

Instead, the response is kind of a "I just don't like how this player makes me feel he's like the type of big meany in mafia that I don't like and that bugs me" post.

I should be around for the hammer.

I liked BottleKnight's interaction with GG; I'm hesitant to vote him because I think that somewhat clears him.

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want to vote Kleedrac, his play is so abnormal for him, AN's vague-ish comment that she is 93% sure that Kleedrac is town is the one thing making me hesitant pushing him.

And what happened between here...

Kleedrac posted:

To be fair I don't normally make it this late in the game. I agreed with your case on BK. I still think it's a better lynch but I seem to be on my own. Plus BK's last plea hit me as very genuine and your logic behind a late-game-lurker-lynch to get rid of the deadweight also made a ton of sense. So I switched to Amnistar. Do you have any other questions about my behaviour?

... and here...

I'm not kidding there are a few posts I've made this game where I was unsure and refused to use gendered pronouns (I'm sure there's a post where I say "Anon" like 4 times in a sentence).

That said I've just spent 20 minutes reading over LutR's post history and I can't find any posts which I find suspicious enough to quote. I'll vote LutR to get work done but currently I'm sitting at;

The problem I have with this is that the other toymaker flip and Quidnose's description of his role seem to fly in the face of your claim. Why would 2/3 of the toymakers make one toy while you get to make up poo poo? That seems counterintuitive and unbalanced.

After the comment about BK's posting being genuine, him being able to just switch back to him so easily concerns me.

and the followup


I was actually writing a post about this and my preview edit showed that there was a dayvig so I had to sit on it for a minute. I have a problem with these posts, but not the "scum slip" problem.

I feel like this is fake as poo poo. We have had a toymaker flip who was able to loving gift dayvigs. It should be fairly obvious to anyone who is paying attention that Santa is not the only gifting role in the game. What those posts feel like to me is an attempt to look engaged from someone who is either not paying attention to the game whatsoever, or from someone who is trying to shift focus. Either way they do not strike me as town posts.

More Quidnose (townie-seeming guy leading the convo) pandering...

Look Under The Rock posted:

That's really paranoid cuz I don't think you're remotely scummy

This is in response to Quidnose questioning him about some of the criticism against Quidnose... LuTR is effectively saying "Hey that criticism doesn't strike me much because you work so so hard" and not that Quid isn't scummy. Not the biggest sell for LuTR but slight uneasiness from this...

Look Under The Rock posted:

No, I was saying it was not a strong enough statement to convince me given how hard you've gone this game.

I received the Loudmouth's Megaphone.

This is in response to Quid asking about what the megaphone does... the way it is phrased its still more pandering to Quidnose. "I don't think I should say" is a less pandering response.

Seems a bit too sure about what scum can do here...

Look Under The Rock posted:

I mean basically any item could be handed out by a scum though?

Tbh it seems like a pretty unique and helpful item.

I kinda shouldn't be posting right now cuz I've had a couple drinks and will be drinking more but I think BK is probs town

And here he drops the ball about the loudmouth's megaphone... I guess he really wasn't concerned what loss town would experience from him disclosing it to everybody...

Look Under The Rock posted:

Meh I had some coffee instead of another drink, I'm good now.

I don't see a contradiction. In general, I don't think the items determine alignment of who sent them and to try to apply that value to an inventor-type role falls pretty hardcore into useless setup spec, so I don't want to go down that road overall.

HOWEVER the role that Bottle is describing is not your typical inventor -- he is claiming that rather than set items he chooses a recipient for, he gets to create an item from scratch. Given what my item does, it seems really implausible for a scum or third party to waste an action giving that item to me.

I'll tell you because I'm rapidly losing interest in this line of conversation, the Loudmouth's Microphone will announce in thread the names of everyone who visits me on the night I use it.

I can think of one reason a scum would give this item out -- because you're planning to bus drive in such a way that someone dies and the name of a townie gets yelled out. This is still a risky move seeing as you would be depending on a bunch of night actions that aren't yours falling into line. And your theory isn't even that Bottle is scum.

So I will pose this question to you: if Bottle is indeed 3P, what reason would he have to use up one of his actions on crafting an item like that?

More to come at Page 14 LuTR does post a lot, just breaking this off now (I think, I'm at work... should probably eventually... do some work).

Do you disagree with my summaries of his post as related to his scumminess? What's wrong with it? Pick some things.

I'm still getting a feel for everybody and I wanted to just bury myself in another player's posts, and post something.

FWIW I haven't kept going through the rest of LuTR's posts (page 14 & after) although I skimmed them already and I literally picked the spot right before he started making posts that made me feel he was more town - he ends up showing some actual concern regarding that megaphone - so even though I slapped a vote on him assuming I would believe he's scum by the end of me looking at his posts now I'm wondering if I'm going to keep that on there. I'm looking at them, not sure I've backed off of him, but I'm also at work so its hard. I'll be looking at them pretty soon though.

Why the hell is Amnistar already -1

That is WAY too loving fast

This is a good LuTR post, so long as Amnistar is town. If scum and they are scumbuddies, it kinda reads like "if my absent scumbuddy is going to be lynched it needs to be slower so at least I can get some town cred on it"

Look Under The Rock posted:

TBH part of the reason I've been talking so much about Quid being super townie is because he's playing the aggressive game that I normally play and it's been confounding me as to how to keep up. I've been focusing a lot of setup spec simply because so many people seem to be confirming each other through setup spec (Anon being so certain you're town and vice versa etc) and until last night I was completely outside of that.

At this point I'm having trouble laying down a solid opinion about loving anyone because half the game is confirmed to at least one other person. Like I had some scum vibes off Kleedrac but there are at least two people who believe he's confirmed. I still think Anon is the most likely out of active players to be scum, but there are two people who think of her as confirmed. And so on.

I'm changing my tune on Bottle though because "inventive toymaker" is the first thing that's sounded like a role that could make a rainbow slinky that roleblocks the user. I'd totes vote Bottle today.

As far as Runatlka's case on me goes, he quoted and quoted and quoted and then said the same drat thing over and over and over, which looks like busywork to me. Runi FYI I am not pandering, see above. Quid's play this game has me flipped upside down of how I normally play.
If I'm gonna sit there and analyze 19 pages of a very prolific poster somebody's gonna loving read it, even if all they get out of it is a better read on me for posting it, which is fine if that's all it comes to. Call it busywork if you want, but I think its a good analysis of your posts.

I'm cooled down *slightly* on LuTR cause the after 14th page posting got *kinda* better but still think SHE (yes SHE I got it she's a SHE) is still a decent lynch. There's still a ton of white noise from her, as Quid points out. At the end of the day she really doesn't say much.

Also, I say kinda because my feel with LuTR is that she is smart enough to feign town concern related to the megaphone, and feign concern about Amnistar lynch, even if Amnistar ends up town. Those are both pretty fakeable.

Vote staying on LuTR but will be looking at others.

Although now that I look at it 15 players, 4 being scum/SKs is a pretty high amount huh? Aren't SKs considered even more dangerous than another scum? Also, we have that whole baker thing which is another town detriment. I just can't see 5 non-town, I think its 4.

I guess you're right now that I'm typing it out, since currently scum have to choose between:

-offing one of Kleedrac/me or BK/PMush which will confirm the other if AN is telling the truth
-offing a lurker which decreases the pool of possible remaining scum if AN is telling the truth


....then I guess giving them more viable options to go murder does help them, you're right.

I just feel like I could solve this if I knew what everyone made since we've all been distributing items since Santa was offed. It's frustrating.
This is why I don't think AN should be lynched. AN can confirm an additional two people this night unless of course *roleblock* but... if not, we get info to confirm/un-confirm AN either way.

This post was in response to Kleedrac seeing a post by AN and PMush that he called WTF moments. In the first one, I explained AN thought I was town and that Amni/MMM are a better lynch. I explained that I completely understood why AN would feel that way. I defended AN. If AN is town, and the cop-style role that I think she is, then having some scum randomly try to take the heat off of her doesn't make sense. Scum would want the very-powerful cop-type role to be killed.

As for Mithross I already posted earlier what made me feel ok about Mithross.

As for PMush's comment re: Quid, Quid shifted gears dramatically. That seems scummy. I think its safe to say though that because Quid has led the charge against scum the entire game its hard to see him as scum. This is what PMush says, and I agree. You can never rule it out because some scum bus their scummates hard, but it is unlikely.

The point of both of my posts is I don't see how these are WTF moments for Kleedrac.
