I don't believe that people with nothing to lose get nervous. Also, this case feels like scum taking an early joke interaction too seriously.

no, i don't see it that way. i think moat is town, he's very unselfconscious in a way that feels natural. i think keane is right to try and push discussion on the pin/moat interaction though. otherwise what are we even doing here?

I stand by it. If it helps there's a meta element of "I've only ever seen town chores and he usually :justpost:s" but I'm not going to feel bad about voting someone whose only post since the game has started is a contentless vote.

your original point has no connection to alignment and the meta argument seems like fake justification after the fact.

I'm refusing to answer TMMs question because I already said the answer plainly. If we're all so upset with how mafia is full of shitposts maybe the solution is to raise the quality of posting starting with how I'm never going to acknowledge a lovely case or a dumb question.

this post bugs me the most. ernie is all "when o catiline do you mean to cease abusing our patience" and it's like dogg you haven't even played mafia in a while.

Of course you're going to say it's MMT.

But the thing is that I kind of agree with her about dongs. Maybe dongs is just limiting his posts because I was really irritated at the amount of shitposting he did in another game and ecco usually gets mad at him if he does too much of it, but at the same time I think he would post a little bit more.

the only possible justification here is a meta read. while that's accurate enough, meta cases are dirty trash left out in the sun. the argument 'dongs is not being dongs' has no actual connection to alignment, it's the same kind of 'different therefore scum' arguments that get town mislynched all the time. especially considering that murmur led with a lurker justification, the whole case is just silly.

I think at least one of the votes is from scum.

it feels like you know ernie is town and you're trying to set yourself up with some cred after he flips. mmt's ~meta~ case is sufficient but the ernie case isn't? it seems much better argued to me.

I mean town are on town lynches all the time and we all know that being wrong doesn't mean you're scum, especially in regards to a D1 lynch.

Instead, I'm sticking my neck out to say this feels like a bad lynch. It doesn't make sense as scum because if I'm right and Ernie is town, people are going to say "Well, maybe you're scum and you knew he was town" and if I'm wrong then people will say "Well, clearly you were defending a scum buddy".

yeah you're right, it doesn't make sense.

i mean that in a rude way, just to be clear.

a better question might be why you are fighting so hard for someone who has clearly dipped from the thread. i can see thinking ernie is town, i kind of think that too in my heart of hearts, but what possible reason is there to white knight the only viable lynch candidate with some obviously strange and not-town behavior at the eleventh hour?

I feel like this is bullshit because Ernie is only the lynch leader by 1 vote at this point and it seems more like it's mostly because people aren't really engaging with the game.

mmt made a case against chores that was two points

a) lurking
b) meta

a lurker dunk is extremely silly d1. lurking has no connection to alignment and it puts us in an awkward position in terms of information d2.

i'd also say that mmt has hardly been more active, which i don't think fits with her meta either.

i still don't really like tmm's position on ernie, but at least he has made a different case even if i find it entirely uncompelling.
