TMM and the gang


TMMadman posted:

I feel like Quids is genuinely annoyed here and Jake is just being standard Jake, eh? It would take a pretty good case to make me want to vote either of them, eh?

I don't really care for PMush's comment because that line about not knowing what to think 'alignment wise' feels forced and self-conscious, eh?

However, I think one thing we can all agree on is that Hal is always scum, eh?

##vote Hal


Max posted:

Calling a player scummy and then throwing down a dumb vote on someone who hasn't even checked in since the day started. Cool.


Kashuno posted:

This, however, is bad. "I think this person is scum, but I'm gonna joke vote."

These are both reasonable reactions to TMM's post, because his calls on people here don't follow his line of thinking. He is essentially saying "I have town feels on Quid and Jake in their interactions and think they are telling the truth, and I also can see how you would think PMush is fake." He is agreeing with my post and vote, which means he IS making an alignment call here. I don't really see another way to interpret that.

So let's now see his defense on this....

Wait, saying something feels forced and self-conscious is now calling someone scummy, eh?

If I had wanted to say PMush was scummy, I would have called her scummy, eh? Forced and self-conscious does not always equal scum, eh?

Yeah, this doesn't make a lot of sense. Why did you back off here, TMM, you were VERY clearly agreeing with my call, which included a vote on her, and which very clearly from my end said "I think PMush is faking content and therefore scum here." If you were agreeing with that, it WOULD follow that you thought she was scummy. I don't get this about face.

In order to get some kind of clarification on it from the poster, eh?

Plus, it's also a good way to get reactions from other people, eh?

For example, Kash thinks PMush's comment is too obvious to be scum, but my post is essentially the same thing with just a slight twist and Kash thinks it's scummy, eh?

This doesn't actually answer the question posed by Max and Kash. Feels like weird dodging.

We'll just have to agree to disagree then, eh?

In my opinion, my comment on PMush is basically the same as her comment about Quid/Jake, eh? PMush says the reaction is weird, I say I don't like a comment and then neither us makes an alignment call on the people in question, eh? Where's the difference, eh?

This is flat out false, I voted her for it. I don't know why you're also framing this in the context of your comments on me and Jake when the discussion is about our comments and YOUR comments on Pmush. This is a very weird reaction.

I guess I'll vote PMush if we're coming up on deadline, but I don't want to. She is dangerous scum, but she's also very helpful town, and on balance, especially on D1....

Yeah, I don't want to vote her if we can find literally anything else, for now. If there are legit scum reads on her tomorrow then by all means.

This is still an amazingly bad post and I really want to vote Pmuch for this, my lord.

When do I ever mince words? If I think something is scummy I just call it scummy. What PMush said wasn't scummy, it was just bad and stupid and felt self-conscious. But town is often self-conscious, so trying to frame it as me saying it's scummy is just loving dumb.

This feels like a complete 180 from what you were saying before, which was essentially "nah I made no alignment call there, I was just commenting on it." Again, in the context of my bringing it up initially and voting for it, and you agreeing with it, you made a soft call of her being scummy. How do you justify that?

When have I ever not said what I was thinking in a game of Mafia? Even if it's ultimately useless at the time, I still voice my opinions and thoughts because that's how the game is played.

Your essentially saying that you'd rather have me be a lurker and not contribute anything.

In short, stop being stupid.

This anger reads fake. I think TMM screwed up here and is not backing down well, would vote.

TMMadman posted:

There is no alignment thoughts on her for that comment. Once again, if I wanted to add more then I would have. It was a stupid comment by PMush and it deserved to be called stupid.

Every single comment does not need to contain an alignment call, but making a comment and then drawing attention to the fact that you aren't making an alignment call is stupid, but not necessarily scummy.

Again, completely different from what he said initially and also dragging mafia theory in to distract from the content point.

I am done reading this, gonna basically just repeat myself. On to KB.

I'm not having a problem with KB's initial post of his thoughts and his follow up of "I would also be OK to lurker cuddle." I also have no problem with PMush coming in and saying this makes her continue to have weird feels, because without knowing the context in his mind (he hadn't explained it yet) I can get where she's coming from. Once he explains it and she responds, I feel a lot better about both of them.

THIS, however, is hella weird:

This I also don't like from PMush. Like, cool, call him out for it, it was kind of crappy to do, but at this point in my reread I am feeling like KB is making a lot of sense and has responded to PMush really well and Pmush just...ignores all of this? She doesn't even come back to finish commentary on this, just moves on to "what the heck you did a bad thing." Very odd.

PMuch needs to return but I am going to drop a vote there because that post is terrible. ##vote PMuch

My vote WOULD be on TMM here, very strongly potentially. But I want to hear TMM explain what he was doing more clearly because his explanation up to this point has been all over the place and weak. Concisely explain what you meant and show your work, please. TMM in the last few games I've seen him as scum wouldn't even be posting anything at all, so I'm pausing a little bit on meta here, which is probably why I am giving the benefit of the doubt atm.

Bad feels about Kashuno.

PMush I was feeling better about but the lack of commentary on KB is makin' me pause too. Explain?

I like KB and Max for town. JakeP I am still on the fence about, he's been kind of disengaged like when he was scum in that one game I caught him in. Seeing him doing the same sideliney play and don't get his outing of our roles.

That's how I feel about Prop. She is pretty much always viewed as scummy for her weird posting. She quit mafia once over always being killed D1 in part because of that. Not going to vote her for it on D1.

That game I didn't want to talk about is over now. I had TMM pegged as town pretty early in that one and was right. I'm not feeling this as town TMM so far.

This post feels town to me. Not the self voting stuff though that's weird, and I am not sure I can really explain why it feels town. It doesn't come across self conscious, and she doesn't try to pretend to have a new reason to vote TMM. Something about how she admits her reason to vote TMM is a bit self defense.
