Being very bad at all this small-talk and since I'm not particularly funny I'm going to sit out during the joke-phase and wait for things to get rolling if that's all right.

I usually just do this after one confirmation post in jokephase, why would you announce it?

  • This, and the posts form Venom Soag following it, appear to me like a insincere attempt to keep pushing an arbitrary vote, rather than any kind of real Scumhunting.


  • The original vote on Sodomeow was pretty terrible, and the bad tunneling afterward is unreasonable.


  • Venom Soag threw an opportunistic 3rdvote on a D1 bandwagon of 100Yrs. He followed that up with similarly insincere seeking of traction for that bandwagon before jumping off without further comment, now is voting along with 100Yrs like he never really felt suspicious.

Venom Soag's moves in this game have consistently struck me as Scum Mind opportunism. I would also vote TNL. I am also suspicious that The Betrayer is also Scum and they are all cross-bussing, but that's a meta view. Keep it in mind.

Venom's vote on 100 seems functionally identical to the vote on 100 he voted Sodo for.

Not Voting (2): Pinterest Mom, Section 31

With 18 alive, it's 10 votes to lynch. The current deadline is October 19th, 2015 at 9 p.m. EDT -- that's in about 58 minutes.

Day 1 is Double Plurality!

Soon, 100 moves from Kash to Meds, Kash moves from S31 to Bird, and Taste posts again in his slapfight with Amoeba. He's around, he's posting, and there's no way he doesn't notice that the vote in double plurality is at 4/4/3/3. In like 15 minutes after that (he didn't post again in the run-up to deadline) Soag moves from Meds to Bird, Bird moves from TNL to Meds (4/4/4/3), PMom adds a vote to S31, and 100 switches to Bird while voicing that he wants to vote meds

There is no way in hell that someone who's town has zero preferences between four candidates, and Taste said jack poo poo about any of the four of them over the entirety of D1. All four were within dunking range, and that vote plopped uselessly on amoeba would have been a gamechanger on any of those four as options. If taste had the slightest gut preference for anyone, he could put them into a definitive lead. If anyone can tell me one reason why you wouldn't want to do that in taste's scenario besides being scum and knowing that whoever you picked was either a townie you were going to seal the fate of or a scumbuddy you didn't want to bus, let me know because I can't see anything else that would fit. ##vote Taste

The only I need cleared up Pecota is your votes, which I called complacent.

What for you made S31 the top plurality vote and what puts meds above venom necessarily?

From context I'm assuming you mean compliant instead of complacent - I was trying to probe around when I could, but I couldn't find too much of a foothold in anything D1 and I was liking the consensus votes more than anything else that I could see.

S31 dropped the lame line about people needing to scumhunt without posting anything of his own around it which was scummy and he clearly wasn't doing poo poo in the game by the time of the four-way mix. Meds was a full-on gamble since he didn't say much, and venom read town to me from how he was posting angry from under the vote lead on D1.

Venom Soag posted:

the idea that taste not voting for any of the big ones at the time being an obvious scum move somehoe

I spelled out what I see, and directly asked what reasoning town would have to not tip a 4-way race in any direction whatsoever in the run-up to deadline - can you answer that? It wasn't rhetorical.

Does it read to anyone else like JakeP's purposely trying to not get chosen for battle without coming out and saying it? He's like defiantly refusing to say anything beyond feeling the same way about Venom/100 today and I was straight-up baffled at someone coming out and saying this in a mafia game:

Also I'm assuming people are waiting for Taste to show up to respond to my case, so far the only counterpoint is Venom's "maybe he really didn't care whatsoever about any of the four potential lynch candidates"

Even though you said you want to battle, PMom didn't pick you yesterday and your D2's been mostly "I feel the same about Venom, I feel the same about 100". If it's not looking unappealing as a battle choice related, what's the deal with the "I just want to chill and don't want to convince people of things" angle? I was wondering if you had an imposed post restriction or something, but it doesn't look like anyone in the other thread/anyone else in here has something like that.

There are a bunch of potential votes between Magnus, PMom (if he can slip in and on preview he's here), Amoeba (if he hasn't peaced out), imgay (he said he'd be back to vote how Pmom would), Kash (who said he'd be back right before deadline), Bifauxnen (posted pretty recently) and you along with the votes on Sodo
