Ehhhh this is really looking like scum kashuno posturing, especially with the giant "I HAVE A NK GUYS" claim.

Like why roll in with "we need to verify miller claims sooner rather than later because we don't know if they're genuine" and then claim a NK, a roleclaim which also needs to be verified sooner rather than later?? seems like an odd tact to take if you actually know your role initially.

I think kash is probably town, and I think vigilante kills are probably going to be important this game.

Yeah, I know I'm assuming its a vig rather than an NK, because I don't think a scumbo would come right out and claim their teams NK on D1.

That being said I don't really like this Mr. F post after his previous post which basically called Kashuno out? Weird turn and a weird way to justify voting cheap tricks.

So your justification is now then that you were just trying to engage Kash through further dialogue? That seems tonally distant from your original defense.

I think someone could make an actual case on Kash if they wanted. The reason I'm on you right now is that your argument feels weak. For me, that's a scum trait. Scum have to make intellectually dishonest cases, which makes them harder to justify. I don't care for the way you shifted the conversation, it feels like you're moving the goalposts in lieu of actual reasoning.

Somber coming in with a game theory argument to derail anything also gives me bad vibes, this looks like his SK play from whatever game we played in last.

I don't know what to make of the miller claim. Flavorchat reads to me as wrong at the moment. I don't know how we would eliminate a miller claim based solely on flavor. That said, it's a needlessly vulnerable play for Keane to make. AS's follow-up vote is odd as well, but again, at least appears as an honest consideration, for whatever that's worth

Quid's overreaction to all of this is most suspicious to me -- a stretch claim to vote for the person who has posted the most to react to, essentially

what followup vote? i've only made joke votes so far, also ##unvote

quid have you answered this question? i'm interested, given you thought my behaviour was bad enough to vote on.

asiinas miller flavour jives

re: the kash and grandi argument. while there is merit in pursuing and questioning asiinas claim to see if she is a scum in the grass, lynching millers because they are millers is dumb. i don't like policy lynches, and i agree that this sounds like a policy lynch. i would only consider it if there were literally no other reasonable options for a day
1 lynch.

Grandicap posted:

This is dumb. You are dumb.

All a miller is is a player that cannot be verified by a cop. So like any other player in a copless game.

This is a "policy" vote that is easy to hide behind, and it is because Kash is scum. Scum don't like having to justify their votes so they can be malleable, and a policy vote helps this.

##vote Kashuno

bird and kash, why did you think grandi was saying there is no cop? cause it doesn't read that way to me at all.

fake edit: i see that others are saying it hasn't been policy to lynch millers day 1? this confuses me - kash has played for a while, why would he try this on if he didn't personally think it to be true?

Cheap Trick souvenirs posted:

When you find scum, how do you do it? I have found that actively questioning people and their motivations to be a very strong tool in sniffing out the scum. Passive observation has its merits as well but it can also allow for lurkers or reserved scum to get by unnoticed. The more you get someone to talk and, even better, talk under pressure, the more likely you are to get a feel for their alignment. There are any number of reasons; now I know his and we have something to compare against as he continues to play. Why am I even explaining this to you, buddy?

i agree with everything you've said here but your post voting for kash did not ask active questions. why was that?

Cheap Trick souvenirs posted:

Let's lynch Kashuno, it seems like a good idea.

##vote Kashuno

fyi asking questions, even obvious ones isn't scummy - for idiot new players like me it helps. i also think that the response it provides from the player being questioned can be enlightening, and sometimes through up previous inconsistencies.

i don't think cheap tricks did this on his initial kash vote, but is using it as a defense for his vote late. this is what is suss to me.

I just have felt his posts are a bit off. Maybe it's that he's more serious as you say, but out of the posters that are active enough for me to have reads on he pinged more than the others. Outside of Kash and quid of course, I feel stronger about those two than Keane for sure.

After careful review and note taking I am going to ##vote Hal . While I was absent, Hal made a point to seem active and post every so often but without really adding much. I mean, the most commen thread through all his posts was what color he enjoyed. He threw out one vote, Quid, with no reasoning and hasn't really added anything of substance at all.

Speaking of Quid, hello friend. I hope you've gotten some good use from the decanter. However, I feel like yu're beeing a little too spread out for the Quid I remember. You used to be the day one tunnel king, and either your game play has changed drastically, or you're scum...I'm not entirely sure yet.

I believe Asiina's miller claim because the flavor behind it is either a really well done fake claim or real.

I dodn't agree that we should auto-kill all claimed millers, but I also don't think that wanting that makes Kash scum. It's a valid way, and pretty much the only way other than role cop, to test a miller. I just think it's a waste sometimes, and this is one of those times. Maybe it's because I believe her.

My favorite color is either dusty rose or sage green, depending on my mood, and I am scientist aligned so here is my hand raise o/.

re-reading the CTS/Kash exchange, I find CTS's original line of questioning lame and it doesn't jive at all with his later justification of why he was asking role type questions. Kash's responses are dodgy at best but having played 4-5 games straight with Kash, I've never not seen him like this

Atomic Soda posted:

I didn't understand the hypothetical because it's a total waste of words to say that miller roles don't mean much without cops. Why bother pointing that out? It was confusing, not scummy to me, which is why I didn't vote
