I do agree with Kash that's TMM's "This is awful" post looks like a way to float the idea without committing to it, and the timing afterwards of a longer case and then a vote seems odd. Why not just vote initially if you were feeling it was lovely enough to warrant you saying everything about it was bad? It's kinda odd.

OK, look, I'm the king of asking questions and I get the frustration with people not playing, myself included, but this isn't solid casework.

I strongly believe that, as town, when you ask questions, they need to be grounded in content review and building a case. I ask a LOT of questions, but they always come out from me looking at the OVERALL trajectory of someone's content and saying "this doesn't make sense to me, why are you feeling this way?" You do this here, but you're cherry picking; you're just finding things that you think can work well for poking the bear and generating content and that's...odd. I guess it could be a frustrated town member who really wants to get people playing but to me, it would make more sense for you to go through and read what has happened on D1 or D2, look at the votes, look at what people said and did, and get some questions from that, not just look for "bad posts" and asking people what the gently caress about them.

I think that speaks to a scum mindset and I think as a result your content generation is pretty fake.

This game is really dragging because there are 6 people who have posted less then the mod. SA has posted ~10-15 times since his D1 spree. Conall hasn't posted at all for over a week. I only know Rarity and CPig are in the game because they are still in votefinder.

I still think PMush is scum and she's my first vote. But at this point I'd vote anyone aside from FV and possibly Kash because if he is scum I'd rather let active scum win than lurking town. gently caress lazy townies.

I am actually continually flabbergasted that people aren't bringing me up constantly as a lurker. It makes no sense, UNLESS I was scum, because then the scum team could actively ignore the fact that I am lurking to pick up on other people.

But, problem is:

1. I'm not scum
2. If I WAS scum, that would be bad scum play.

So the only thing I can think of here is a scum team saying "let's call out a bunch of lurkers except for quid, who has a good reputation as a good player, so that people are suspicious of him eventually and then see that he's been ignored by a bunch of people a lot, so we have a backup miscuddle with the lurkers."

Not sure I like this reaction from SA regarding derp's callout of a "bad miscuddle." It can be read both ways: "Well Rarity was the one who lead the charge so BLAME HER" or "Well, I mean, we all agreed with Rarity, so we're all responsible." But he doesn't actually make a call about it. Odd.

I have been looking at content from D1/D2, asking relevant questions and making cases. Now I am, as you put it, poking the bear. However, I did not look for "bad" posts and ask people what the gently caress. I just found one post from each player and asked a question in the hope of getting any content going from anyone.

But why would you do this? If you were already looking at content from D1/D2 and asking questions and making cases, why would you randomly pick out a bunch of stupid poo poo just to poke the bear? Why not...case? I don't understand, even with frustration. It's a really weird choice to have made, and I can't wrap my head around it.

Because I don't understand why as town you wouldn't just be like "hey, assholes, this is annoying, post!" and then go find some content related cases to make.
But I also don't understand as scum why you would put yourself out there faking content that much.

So you have no thoughts at all about someone who spent most of D1 voting you for reasons that amounted to gut and a staged fight then came in 6 hours before the deadline to unvote with the easy 'not feeling it anymore' excuse and said she stopped looking for scum, then whiplashed her opinion about section 31 in about a minute but didn't vote it and then disappeared without voting at all?

I also really don't like this as a followup. TMM clearly feels this way which is cool, but why spoonfeed this crap to Kashuno rather than just saying "why don't you have a read on PMush? I don't get it, because I feel like you should. Explain it to me." Instead he like, dumps this anger-opinion on Kashuno for reasons I don't understand. What does this accomplish?

TMMadman posted:

Alright, I'll accept this for now.

Personally, I think PMush is scum. She spent most of D1 saying that Kash and I are scum together because our argument seemed too perfectly staged. Then with 6 hours left to deadline, she unvotes Kash saying she isn't feeling it anymore because she doesn't think two scum would butt heads so long but completely ignores the fact that one of us could still be scum. Her unvote also essentially (and conveniently) makes Kash an unviable target. When asked for other reads she says she stopped looking because she was convinced Kash and I were scum together. To me, it reads like she is either working with Kash or she knows our alignments already.

So I'm going to start there today.

##vote PMush

And with this, it kinda feels like TMM is maybe using Kashuno's weirdness as a reason to ramp up a fake vote on PMush. I haven't really read D1 yet so maybe this is actually what happened but this seems like a whole lot of convoluted words I don't really want to read about why he's voting PMush and that to me makes it feel pretty generically fake. Not liking TMM today.

This is a really frivolous criticism. The conversation TMM "distracted from" wasn't worth having.

I'm not saying that TMM should have started a conversation about the worthiness of NK analysis. I am saying that what Kashuno essentially said was "You are making a distraction from scumhunting by spending time trying to start a NK analysis discussion," and TMM's response wasn't "yeah, you're right, that is distracting" but rather "gently caress YOU KASHUNO." Why the need to jab at Kash? Nothing had even happened yet.

Do you see why this is making me feel like TMM is working on creating a narrative wherein Kashuno is wishy washy and the bad guy, even from the get go?

His response was dismissive of Kashuno's point. Without the hyperbole of gently caress YOU DAD, do you agree that, when called out for trying to do something distracting, it was odd that he didn't say "yeah you're right I shouldn't go down that path" and instead made a dig at Kashuno for no reason before pulling the conversation where he wanted?

If you spend a page looking at someone's content and convincing yourself that they are acting scummily, and you want the thread to agree with you, you should vote for them. I know I am in the minority here potentially but I think it's weird he didn't get to the end of that and vote Kashuno.

He didn't say gently caress you or type in all caps, he said a sarcastic "Thanks Mafia dad" which was appropriate given Kashuno's general comment about the game (which I happen to disagree with).

It seems like your criticism is that TMM thinks night kill speculation is worthwhile.

That is not what I am saying at all and I really don't see why you are getting that from what I am saying. I'm gonna break it down again in case I'm not being clear:

1. TMM speculated about NKs.
2. Kashuno said "hey, NK disucssion is probably a bad idea," the implication there with that comment being that he thought TMM was trying to create a distraction. Why else would he have brought it up, just to tell him how to play Mafia better? I don't think most of us do that as a point of order, I think we make comments to gauge reactions.
3. AND SUBSEQUENTLY, TMM's response was a big old eye roll. Why wouldn't he just go "oh yeah I guess that is a distraction" and then move on? Or if he disagreed, why wouldn't he have said "well I think there's value in it but we can do something else" or "agree to disagree" or anything that wasn't A COMPLETELY DISMISSIVE RESPONSE?
