Kumbamontu posted:That being said, a newbie advocating a no lynch is more of a town tell than a scum tell, because a newbie is likely to be asking questions in the scum doc and getting "coached" into what not to say, so to speak. If someone asks about no lynches in a scum doc, chances are they will be told not to mention it But with a newbie, there's always the chance they might blurt without asking, or misinterpret coaching. Hell, if we want to get really tinfoil, they may have been coached to make a blunder, so someone can talk them out of it, and get them through day 1 with an aura of "newbie town" about them....

I didn't mean for the third idea to be taken completely seriously, I was just pointing out that his blunder by no means makes him verified town. So far Biga's still the best candidate for a lynch in my book.

Gabriel Pope posted:Kashuno is trying way too hard, but he seems confident in his convictions. I find Hermetic's opportunism a lot more eyebrow-raising: Or I've been busy IRL today, so I'm not posting a lot. I waited around to hear the arguments on Biagra (since I'm a tad hesitant on lynching someone new myself), and finally made a decision based on arguments and evidence, like a rational person might do. Oh, and I never backpedaled. As you'll notice, I pointed out that the third theory was "full tinfoil", which I assumed made it fairly obvious that it wasn't meant to be wholly serious.

Someone Awful! posted:harsh stance towards a newbie freaking out about being attacked, while at the same time self-describing as a "relative newbie" here Hi Someone Awful! It's less the defeatism being scummy, but the tone of it. Like he's feigning defeatism and trying to get us to back off. He has an attitude of "Go ahead and lynch me...BUT YOU'LL BE SORRY!" It feels a tad off to me. I do agree that there are better candidates, though keeping me on your scumdar isn't the worst idea. My lack of posting and appearance of bandwagoning is a bit scummy, I admit.

Someone Awful! posted:I'd still be more inclined to believe biaga as a dumb newbie non-vanilla town than scum tbqh (note: not fishing for power roles, this is just my opinion) Yeah, I'm gonna feel dumb as gently caress if he's got a useful power and we make him do a mid-air jig. That said, he's the closest thing to a viable option. I'm in the same boat as you: There are a few people that feel off to me, but all I have is gut right now, and I'd rather not just throw around a bunch of "U FEEL LIEK SKUM 2 ME" accusations. That seems useless at best, scummy at worst.

Podima posted:I don't know what the ~SA Meta~ is per se, but this kind of "oh gosh I guess I look kinda bad" sheepishness tends to rub me the wrong way. If you're not scum, why would you call attention to yourself acting scummy? I don't want to get into even more WIFOM stuff but this is worth keeping an eye on. I'm just bein' honest. If something I do looks a bit scummy, I'd rather call it out than be all about it. Podima posted:Why not call out other people for doing scummy things? I don't want to be repetitive, but that's how you find scum. Because there's no case. My gut feelings are probably not going to sway anyone. Evidence is everything in Mafia, Mr. Wright.

Kumbamontu posted:Evidence is demonstrably not everything in mafia - persuasion is. You don't have to be right, you just need to convince others that you're right. Looking for hard evidence that someone is scum is going to be an uphill battle, because everything is subjective. If you want to talk about my gut reads, you were one of them. For some reason, they rubbed me the wrong way. You were kinda on my "watch" list from then Jumping on me is the first thing you've done that I can say feels concretely scummy, though. You don't want to jump on the biagawagon, of course, because it seems to be losing steam, and at this point it would be too obvious. However, there's a lot of pressure on me because my posts have been a bit wishy-washy. (It's just how I reason through things without hard evidence. There's a lot of room for me to be wrong, so I dislike stating things with certainty). Thus, you can get a train running on me for the next 24 hours, avoiding more poking and prodding of others, and drive a townie lynch day 1. Make a case why I'm scum. I think it will help me get a better read on you. Gabriel Pope posted:Looking back over Hermetic's posts, he... doesn't actually say much of anything other than his original Biaga case, except a lot of excuses about why he's not making more meaningful posts. Some people are lazy, some people are busy, so I don't really consider that a strong sign by itself. Reaaaaally interested to see what he has to say tonight, though, because the more I read this the less I like it: I'm just not big on wild accusations. It feels like scum behavior to me.

I love that Gabriel Pope and Kumbamontu are leading the charge against me for not answering their questions, yet Biaga hasn't posted in, like, a day and a half. Don't worry, though. No one is protecting their scumbro. It's not like the whole thing reeks of him being told "play dead until the bandwagon stops" or anything. Not sure which one of the two is coaching him yet, but Kumbamontu is reading as either frustrated town or tryhard scum. My vote stays where it is, and will do so until my hilarious lynching. Speaking of which, when I'm at -1, let me know, and I'll make my last post and self-hammer, K?

TMMadman posted:I'd really like to see Biaga come in and give us some thoughts. I'm all for this. I don't like a day 1 newbie lynch, but it just feels like "lay low, pretend you're pissed, and let your scumbros bail you out" to me, so without SOMETHING from him, I'm okay with either him or Kash today. And I will continue to ignore Kumba, because I answered him, he just didn't like the answer, and he seems super mad about that, and refuses to admit that there's just not a good case against me. If you put a gun to my head and asked me to pick someone pushing me early for a lynch as a way to take the heat off of Biaga Smalls, I'd have to say probably Gabriel, because he unvoted me once the really big rush was off, and tried to play it like it was a pressure vote, despite the fact that he initially framed it as an actual vote (though he divorced the vote post from his case, which let him have wiggle room to justify it later). Kumba seems way too intent on me for now, and reads town who really seems supa-shure on his D1 lynch choice.
