I did a bit of a double-take when I saw the discrepancy between my own role and the sample flip, and I had to reread my PM (to make sure I hadn't misread a bit of flavor) and the OP (to see if that flavor had significance) before I realized that it was (I *assume*) inconsequential. What's the flavor reason for a human being in a mine with a bunch of lizards?

##unvote ##vote CCKeane CCKeane posted:I usually enjoy jokepost phase since jokes are cool and good. When I'm looking to advance out of it, I make a few gut calls and see what develops from there, once a case, even tenuous, exists, it becomes much easier to get reads off of reactions to it, and it can build from there. Right now, I think Keane trying to effort-case AA looks scummier than AA's posting. If I were scum and I knew AA was town, I think that AA would be the easiest person to case to try and drive a mislynch and it feels to me that's what Keane is doing. CCKeane posted:The first two pinged me a bit as trying too hard to be A BIG GOOFBALL (second and related posts especially) and the third as a reaction to my calling him scum strengthened this. I don't think it's a normal reaction, and while I invented the "claim to be confirmed when you are not for giggles" maneuver, the additional vote is a bit of a whacky move. I don't LIKE IT I TELLS YA. This strikes me as TRYING TOO HARD TO LOOK TOWNIE and I don't buy it.

CCKeane posted:Are you saying this because AA is the scummiest person in the thread right now? I don't understand the reasoning behind your first point. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you're trying to say that scum AA claimed lynchbomb at the start of D1, and you think that because he can't fill in certain details on his claim, that makes him suspicious. What I'm saying is that (a) I don't think that's scum behavior, I think AA would simply not claim anything and not draw suspicion on himself, and (b) if I were scum looking to make a fake case on D1, "AA is lying about being lynchbomb" would be the easiest mislynch to push, and I would do it by asking a bunch of pointed questions to make it look like he's scum caught in a lie. To build on that - AA's posting seems this game looks pretty relaxed, whereas Keane's case feels suspicious to me because he seems too sure of his read for D1.

CCKeane posted:So what was used? Anomalous Amalgam posted:Executioner looking for a specific role?! Anomalous Amalgam posted:Blaster is my flavor name. A lynch bomb is what it is. On phone. Ain't nobody eating lunch. I find it suspicious that Keane can't fill in the blanks that Ecco used "lynchbomb" and AA chose to change "lynch" to "lunch" (as many players around here do) and is instead trying to spin it as some sort of "gotcha!". Like even if AA was scum lying about lynchbomb, is the implication that it would be too hard for him to make up some sort of flavor for it?

The Lord of Hats posted:I mean, that's certainly a possibility, but I agree with Keane that there isn't a good reason for AA not to be answering at this point. If you've already claimed your role why go to such lengths to conceal its flavor? This is an Ecco game, and if there's one thing I associate with Ecco games it's having lots of well-written flavor text. It's not like it's hard to say "I'm a MAFIAROLE, I do this through FLAVORTEXT". Murmur Twin posted:What's the flavor reason for a human being in a mine with a bunch of lizards?

CCKeane posted:This seems a pretty weird take from MMT since it largely revolves around the concept of town making an effort, and I'm wondering what MMT would imagine casing and posting to look like in the early game if it didn't involve pursuing threads that look odd and generating cases from there. I'm not making a blanket "all players who make an effort are scummy", I'm specifically saying that your case on AA feels like you're pushing too hard on low-hanging fruit and it seems like scum making a fake case to me. I do this on D1 in a lot of my games - I ask myself "if I were scum, what fake case would I be pushing right now?" and, in my opinion, the argument that you're making on AA fits the bill. It feels to me like you're jumping on minor things and trying to blow them up as obvious scumtells when, at least at first glance, I don't think they are. That said, I haven't re-read AA since engaging you on this (and am  at the moment) so I'll re-look to see if the gun is as smoking as you seem to think it is.

CCKeane posted:I'll look for the game, but I recall MMT explicitly stating that she liked to get games rolling by making tenuous cases and seeing how people reacted, and going from there. I suppose that's fair - I'm not saying "I'm 100% sure Keane is scum, lock it up", I'm saying that my first impression of the content so far on d1 (without going back and re-reading AA yet, which I stress I still haven't) was that your posting feels more suspicious to me than AA. It's entirely possible I'm wrong which is why I'm not going crazy trying to get other people to vote for you. CCKeane posted:If not, of course I am sure you will happily provide someone else that was suitably scummy before the business went down, since you feel the pursuing of a weak case is scummy. For the sake of full disclosure, I'm probably not going to give the game a full effort read until tomorrow around 3-4pm PST (as tonight I'm watching Survivor and then going to bed > tomorrow I have school followed by my audition for a dealing job). CCKeane posted:To be clear here: Here are plenty of other examples of me trying to look for "which case sounds more like scum trying to push the easiest target?".

Anomalous Amalgam posted:In defense of my life for an actual better use of it, consider the following: Point ones and two: If you're scum, you would claim it to make people reluctant to hammer you. It would be a good play if you could sell it well, but your followup to Keane's question reads far more like someone trying to come up with a lie than someone relaying information naturally. Point three: your volunteering to be lynched by the person town thinks is scummiest doesn't make sense. If a town player is deemed scummiest and hammers that's bad for town, if a scum player is deemed scummiest they're not going to go along with your plan just because you asked.

I am a Driller (town vigilante) and I did indeed target Fisk last night. I agree with Max/Keane that Fisk was probably double killed - the drilling in the guts was me but I don't think the pickax was. I was leaning towards drilling Max last night but switched to Fisk at the last minute. CCKeane posted:Good catch, this matches with my flavor. Can you clarify this? You were jailed but Fisk getting double-killed matches with your flavor?

Max posted:Asking for your flavor is a pretty tame request if you repeatedly claim a role. Freaking out at someone who finds your sparse response lacking is p bad. When I look at how I think scum would have played D1 (as I did when I cased Keane yesterday, although I've since changed my mind regarding him), I think they would have seen a plausible case on a town AA and hopped on it. That's not open-and-shut in a vacuum since plenty of people (including me) ended up doing that, but Max posted:Something about Grandi gnawing at me. Max's case on Grandi seems more like a defensive OMGUS to me than it does a genuine attempt to find scum. Max - is Grandi still your top scum suspect? Also on my mind is that (a) I immediately noticed the double-kill flavor since I was responsible for the drilling but in my mind I don't think someone else would have noticed it unless they had something to do with the kill, and (b) I remember from a recent game that Max, as SK, targetted low-effort players, so I can see a world where scum Max would have gone after Fisk. I'm not saying either of those is a slam-dunk against Max but they're little things I noticed so I'm pointing them out.

EccoRaven posted:Come morning - the miners could only tell by small gaps in the top of the mine which penetrate the surface - there was yet another murder. This man was the janitor; he used magickal cleaning equipment to suck up dust and dirt while simultaneously pushing away stones and debris, keeping the tunnels clear from obstruction so miners can easily travel through them. He also had a keen sense of the human (and lizard) spirit. He believed he could see into people's thoughts and figure out their intentions. Reading over the flavor I noticed that Fisk had "a keen sense of the human (and lizard) spirit" which makes me wonder - is anyone else other than Hats a human in this game?

this is a stickup posted:mmt was town and correctly figured out you were scum early on due to posting that is incredibly similar to the way you're posting now, and yet mmt has not mentioned you at all I was waiting for Tobbs to post more before bringing it up. Going into D2 he had town points for referencing a bunch of meta reads but scum points for not voting for anyone outside of Keane. As it stands right now I agree with you. ##vote Tobbs Tobbs Gnawed posted:P sure MMT was scum that game. I was town, you were scum, and you killed me N2 because I was 100% positive you were scum based on a meta read on you. It was like 3 weeks ago, do you not remember? For reference, the meta case (here) was: "Murmur Twin" (in another game) posted:I don't think I've ever been in a game with scum Tobbs, which is why the difference here is so striking to me. The things he's doing differently aren't minor things, they're striking differences that I would perceive as scumtells on anyone. In this game, midway into D2, he has 2 total votes, only 1 if you discount the joke vote on CL.

Grandicap posted:When did Keane claim that d1? I know he claimed jailed last night, which infers he has a powerrole, but I don't recall this happening d1. This post: CCKeane posted:I'd much rather not, I got a power role. --- Tobbs Gnawed posted:Keane: "I have an important town power role." He's claiming that he was RBed or jailed so to me the most obvious explanation is that scum chose to play around a town doctor and chose instead to kill someone without many posts to analyze.

Does Tobbs read like someone who is comfortable sharing information or someone who is nervous getting caught in a lie?Murmur Twin posted:What are your opinions of me, Max, and Keane so far? Tobbs Gnawed posted:Max town, you town, Keane scum. I ask for reads, he gives his answers without any further explanations. Murmur Twin posted:Were you going to explain why or do you need me to ask you first? Tobbs Gnawed posted:Same reasons as yesterday. Keane believing AA but still pushing him is icing on the meta cake. I ask for clarification - he answers that his read on Keane is the same as the one from yesterday without anything to it. He doesn't address his reads on me, Max, Quid, or stickup. Murmur Twin posted:How is Max's posting this game different from how you think he might post as scum? Tobbs Gnawed posted:Doesn't smell fishy. Scum Max has a fish smell and I'm not smelling it. I ask Tobbs why he has a town read on Max and he gives a relative non-answer. chaoslord posted:Tobbs I am interested in this post. Stickup makes a pretty good meta case on both you and MMT. You love meta and acknowledge that you believe stickup is correct. In your next post you declare MMT to be town. Why do you believe her to be town? Tobbs Gnawed posted:I don't see her play as scummy. I'd like to think I try hard regardless of alignment? And I feel like I've been putting a reasonable amount of effort into this game - it's just that I feel like I've nailed scum so I'm focusing my questions in one direction. Again, if Tobbs was town, he'd be fighting back against me because from his point of view I'd be trying to drive a mislynch on him. If anything, I think he would have at least brought up that I claimed a vig on the NK target last night and that it would, on some level, inform his opinion of me. His answer to this reads like he knows my alignment and doesn't want to argue that I'm scum when he knows I'm not. Also Max - is there anything specifically in this post that you think I'm wrong about so far?
