Just saying "hi" for tonight, reads and such coming tomorrow. That said,

##vote JakeP - even if he's a Survivor, it means that (a) he's not going to hunt scum, (b) he can potentially help scum late n the game, (c) scum won't be inclined to NK him, and (d) we'll never be able to prove he's 3P. I'd rather just deal with him on D1 instead of no lynching or mislynching.

Disregarding the fact that it's Murmur Twin now, does anyone want to dissuade my from my case on PMush, because I still think it's the best that can be made and it has surprised me no one has any inclination of any sort towards it or even against it.

While I'm obviously biased, I see PMush's post re: Ecco/Taste as more of a D1 hypothesis and less of a hard scum read/chain-lynch.

quote:

Looking at vote leader I don't want to have to vote Jake since it's a lazy vote and non-tell vote and it's a wasted execution on our part since we're not really furthering our goal by eliminating him.

I disagree - you're discounting the fact that Jake could be lying about being Survivor. If he's lying, I find it hard to believe that town would make that up. And if he's telling the truth, all the stuff I said when I voted (that he's admitted he's not going to try and hunt scum, that he has the ability to push LYLO up a day should scum gain the upper hand) applies.

Is survived a powerful 3rd party role? It seems silly to put your vote down on third party rather then actually hunt for scum

These posts are suspicious to me - they feel more like "trying to have content out there" than looking for scum. The typical follow-up to "___ is scummy" is to case someone but there's no follow-up here.

I see these posts as scummy in that he's posting about generalizations ("people are already refusing to play", "people who are abstaining scumhunting", "people that aren't considering anything but jakep", "enough cases posted throughout the day") instead of making specific posts about which people/cases/posts are suspicious. It reads like someone skimming over the thread and summarizing things instead of bringing new opinions to the table.

I still think Jake is the best vote but right now Tomm/Hiip are my two biggest reads for potential scum.

I'll vote either Jake or Tommunist since I think they're both but have a strong preference for Jake and am keeping my vote there for now. I'll switch to avoid a no-lynch if need be.

To me the case on Jake (specifically over Tomm) is

- Tomm is either town or scum, Jake is either 3P or scum
- If Tomm isn't scum, he could be a town PR and mislynching him would be a Strong Misplay
- If Jake isn't scum, we still take out someone who might help scum out down the road
- "college dropout" sounds like a scum role more than a survivor role in a college-flavored game

The main thing I have against my case is that Tommunist isn't here to clear anything up. I'd feel awful if he was a power role and we just killed him. It's very reasonable argument to make.

Yet ultimately I like standing by my own cases when I can and I do stand by this case.

Explain to me again the part where you'd feel awful taking out a town PR but refuse to switch your vote to someone who is, at best, slightly worse than VT?

yeah tmm you led the jake vote yesterday which was a Very Bad Vote since it was on a not-scum and had I been around I'd have told you all it was bad.

EccoRaven posted:

gut + some early bad posts he made towards me + his support of the jake vote (a bad vote remember!) + thinking last night while drunk and tired that it'd be a hassle to actually get a vote on him going since I don't have the time or effort to parse through all his posts and make a case and I figured worst case he dies and flips town so who cares whatever. vOv

had you all not voted jake (a bad vote) I'd have used it on him, since vigging blind is dangerous but vigging a claimed survivor is a great use of town resources.

(voting for one isn't!)

I feel like Ecco's story is inconsistent.

On D1, he was at least open to the idea that Jake might be scum. But then on D2 he's trying to sell himself as someone who was staunchly against the vote on Jake, and that if only he was here would he have talked us out of it. He implies that the reason TMM is scum is that he was leading the charge on Jake, even though me/Taste/Pig (off the top of my head) were also very much in on it.

Also, the thought process used to rationalize vigging Keane doesn't sound like it came from someone who didn't know Keane's alignment. If he didn't have time to make a case/parse through his posts, why vig him over someone he was accusing of being scum D1? If his reaction to possibly vigging town is "who cares whatever" then why hassle TMM about Very Bad Play?

In a world where you're scum, I'd assume your plan was to drop the "vigilante" code at the start of the game, vig a scumbro, take credit for it knowing no one would counterclaim you, and then try to ride town credit to the end of the game. It would also explain the lack of a town NK.

Regarding Taste - despite his not reading much, I believe that his opinions (Jake being a good vote, Ecco's claim likely being true) are genuine opinions. My case isn't "people who aren't reading are scum". My case is that in Tomm's votes for you, he twice references "the other case on you".

Asiina posted:

Enough about that though, I don't know if you are scum, but I do think Kashuno is scum and want to make a case. He's done a lot of contentless voting, including voting Chic, unvoting, and then voting for her again, all based on Madman's points but doesn't explain what he likes about them.

Kashuno, what about Madman's original case did you like that was changed by Chic not voting Madman, and then how did that relate to your later vote on her?

I also don't like the comments about metagame that don't involve giving opinions about people while still looking like he's active:

I also don't understand this thing with Ecco.

So was Ecco's post a scum post? Why do you want to vote for Ecco? Why does other people's meta reads matter? What is going on.

This is a poorly formatted case, since some of it is talking about Kashuno and some of it is talking to Kashuno, but this is my case against Kashuno, please everyone read it and vote with me tia.

My assertion is that he's claiming to have read this case, enough for it to have been the driving force between his vote D1 and to have dismissed it on D2. I don't think he's telling the truth, given that he hasn't had a solid opinion on anything else in the game yet.

CPig is the only one I'll forgive for my lynch because he was getting the job done. Although he still probably should have no lynched me.

Why do you think I never looked twice at CPig? It's because I saw his claim in his very first post.

Town simply blew this game and never once looked at Ecco because she had claimed vig.
