read leatherman's history of posts. it's classic 'hmmm i sure don't like this' with no action scum posting

This is not a mischaracterization of my posting this game, except for the word "scum".

On the other hand, as noted, it's not exactly conducive to D2 analysis if we just turbo a dude, and while I certainly agree that JHats is playing scummy, I made the idiot mistake last game I played of hammering a town PR because I thought they were acting scummy, and I'd rather not make the same mistake.

Either I'm still trying to blink the sleep out of my eyes or there's some fundamental inconsistency here. It is strange to hear, in one post, stickup agree with me when I'm advocating more D1 content because we can get stuff out of D1, and in another say that Jimmy's right about not getting anything out of D1. It's sufficiently ambiguous that, really, he's ended up on both sides of the argument, and it feels like he's just trying to be inoffensive over providing honest opinions.

Really? I read that as Jimmy saying I admonished him and then voted him. Maybe I misunderstood.

Yes, I'm voting stickup, but the argument doesn't follow in that case - I'm not voting stickup because he doesn't want to do day 1, I'm voting him because his posts indicated that he was trying to get on both sides of the discussion.

Just treats.

Don't know how powerful they are, but Asiina says we want our teams to have them. So I'd much rather we reach a consensus on treats at the end of the day, rather than just tossing them out there.
I think it will add an extra layer of scum hunting to the game to see who favours who with their treats.

I guess I'm just not understanding how throwing around treats early is different than throwing around votes early. Positive effect, negative effect, whatever, but it's still a vote at the end of the day. I'm not advocating not discussing treat picks, but this level of concern two days before deadline seems forced.

Good morning, friends.

Hey, AA. Do you have any reads? Did you have time to catch up Monday night? I am asking because so far I have very little to go off of from your posting and I am getting quite curious. It's interesting to me that despite having little to say you stopped in to talk about your treat shortly after we started discussing the treat votes on me.



...See? Curious. Very curious.

I think it's weird that AA was able to hop in and give answers whenever the conversation came around to them (why did people treat me, my prod post) but still claimed not to have caught up on the thread when I asked. Like, if you're following along enough to answer questions, you're probably reading the thread, at least in my experience. That doesn't pass my sniff test.

##unvote; ##vote AA

W/r/t Cpig, I still have a null read. His posts still just read like typical Cpig to me, but I don't have a strong meta read for scum Cpig versus town Cpig.

I don't think we should vote JHats, after reflecting a bit - like a couple other people have said, if that's his role, and if he's town, he's well worth keeping around. There have been a couple more concrete cases as well. I figure we should at least save him for D2; confident the truth will come out by then with an action result.

On filtering, TM's posting in this game is way different than his posting in gotta go fast, in which he was town, and I could see myself voting him today. Other than that, I kinda like my vote where it is.

yeah, while I disagreed with your reads in GGF you were actively making reads, theorizing, and scumhunting; this game, the post I'm quoting here is the first one that's sounded more like your posting from that game.

I don't know if I buy the whole case here, Inf, but I would say I find the AA part of it more compelling than the Cpig part of it.

Phone posting, I dont understand why Jimson is being voted

He made an inexplicable 180 degree flip on derp with the explanation of, essentially, "whoops". If that's where votes are landing today, I don't think that's a bad call, but is there more to the case that I'm missing?

Soaring Kestrel

So if I'm reading right, the only way that AA isn't a redirector is if Inf A) is telling the truth about being self-watching and B) is not actually a bodyguard. The reason this doesn't hold water to me is that a self-watching scum in a role-heavy game doesn't make sense. It'd be a useless role. So to me, on balance, Inf's probably town - and then what reason would he have to lie about the rest of his role?

Finally, as stickup mentioned above, 3 trackers in a 13 person game seems nuts - I don't buy AA's roleclaim. Coupled with what I said yesterday, I'm inclined to believe Inf over him.

You know what, actually, maybe this is off the wall but I'm going to make a flavor argument.

The picture of Jimson's cat, when he flipped, was a cat pawing at a mirror.

If Jimson was a town tracker, what's the mirror - reverse - of a town tracker? Something that screws with tracker results. Like a bus driver, or a redirector.

Also a scum.

Well, my reasoning, anyway: I talked a little bit earlier in the day about why I believe Inf over AA. I thought about it some more, and besides what I mentioned earlier, I just don't see a reason for scum to trade one for one on day 2 - and if Inf's lying, that's basically what he's doing here. I don't see a lie like that not being exposed by tomorrow. Lastly, it took nine minutes from the start of day for Inf to come up with that fakeclaim, and nine minutes from results to elaborate fakeclaim...eh.

Also, AA keeps lying and misrepresenting stuff against him. It's been pointed out a couple of times. Here's another one.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

[ ... ]Look back at the first claim... There's no reference to being redirected. He just claims I visit him and he body guarded KB, yet somehow my visiting him makes me scum. No reference to redirectors as of yet.
And here's the relevant part of Inf's initial claim today:

Infinitum posted:

I am a Self Watching Bodyguard.

I am informed when someone visits me.
Last night Anomalous Amalgam visited me.
He was the ONLY person to visit me.

:siren: I protected King Burgundy last night and got a success :siren:
If my bodyguard target is killed, I die instead of them.

Ergo

:siren: Anomalous Amalgam is a scum redirector :siren:
Otherwise I would have died last night instead of KB.
