Hold up on that a moment, JakeP. Look at WWM's exit post, emphasis mine:


Now, he was leaving in a huff, doing the self-vote to end the day thing. That means that nothing in the post was done without thought, and unless WWM just hates the scum team completely he'd do everything he could to not implicate his scumbros. In this case, there's no reason to make the comment unless he wants town attention on Kleedrac. It feels like a red herring, an attempt to get a mislynch on Kleedrac today.

I agree with this.

I just did a full re-read and I feel pretty strongly about this. ##vote Mithross

It's mostly these:

Mithross posted:

I want to be clear: there isn't a "typical" survivor in Chrononauts, there is just a character who can win if the timeline is paradox'd out (because he owns a storefront outside of time.) I had anticipated him being the survivor.

That said, Squa Tront makes some sense, if you look up the reference. And it's obscure enough to make it less likely he's faking that part, at least.

Mithross posted:

You couldn't have someone drawn and used a patch you don't have, instead of just flipping him? Psh, that's just lazy.

Mithross posted:

I can't see Kleedrac as scum, just for voting a claimed 3p. It's not an optimum strategy, in my opinion, but it is a valid one.

And although I can see why people are skeptical of WWM's claim, I'm skeptical that a scum would try it. They would have to be scumbros, WWM would have to decide to protect Kleedrac openly when he only had three votes on him, and push like crazy.
That or, as scum, defend Kleedrac the townie when he had three votes, then continuously double down badly.

It wouldn't be a scumslip, it would have to be a scum-trip-down-a-flight-of-stairs

The first two aren't scummy in a vacuum, but go back and look at when those happened - it was a few hours after the WWM claim, with WWM and Kleedrac being the most talked about. Something major just happened, and he's clearly reading along since he quoted a post after the claim for his second post, but somehow stays silent and just talks about game mechanics. Then 3 hours later after he and WWM and whoever else enter damage control mode, that last post comes out. Then he puts WWM to -1 when all is basically lost and WWM self-hammers minutes later.

Mithross is scum.

It would be funny if he was actually scum with WWM, because it means this post becomes a massive insult to his scum bro:


But I'm having a hard time seeing where a scum buddy would put his neck out like that to try and save a sinking ship.

To build on that, look at the timing of the final votes and look at WWM's posting. After his claim, his self vote was the very last post he made. I think the fakeclaim was a Hail Mary on his part, Mith tried a soft defense that he could back down from, and when neither worked the scumbros decided to just end it.

Yep that's pretty much where I'm at.

Mithross posted:

I want people to look more closely at Kumba:

He starts out the game doing regular joke stuff.

He talks a lot of mechanics, with me in fact, which is apparently bad when I do it, so it should be bad that he did it.

In fact, all of his posts until his case on me are joke posts, votes with no context (just agreeing with whatever is going on), or mechanics talk.

Finally, his case on me consists of two posts I made that didn't talk about WWM or Kleedrac, while it was going on, followed by my post saying I didn't think WWM was pulling a gambit. He was basically just making a "safe" case, his only addition was that I didn't respond immediately to the daycop claim.

After that he makes a couple very bare bones comments on LUTR's casing of Anon, and we're current.

(also, I saved JFK. I said I would yesterday, but what with other stuff coming up I forgot)

Can you quote where I "talked a lot of mechanics with you" because I just read my whole post history and there are a whopping two posts about game mechanics

If you haven't noticed, there isn't poo poo to analyze because most everyone in this game is lurking. By the time I read WWM's big emoticon filled diatribe everyone had already said what I would have said and I wasn't going to reinvent the wheel.

Is this supposed to be a case on me? There's nothing to respond to because you basically just wrote a short summary of my activity. That isn't a case, you just wrote Kumba Cliff Notes.

You don't call me scum, you don't even call me scummy - you just ask people to "look at me" like you want someone else to start a bandwagon you want to hop on, and on top of that it coincidentally is on one of two people who fired at you first. I'm not saying OMGUS is inherently scummy because it isn't, but the speciousness of the case combined with the target and... well, it stinks.

That's what I said, and byers keeps saying it was to pad my post count, as a safe scum topic.

The distinction though is that a lot of your posts are "Here's how Chrononauts works guys" which is very different from "Here's what I need to fulfill my objective"

It's like mafia-dadding in a mafialike... Chronodadding if you will
