Since D1 turbos are a Bad Idea, let me change the subject and elicit some content:

Since flavor is important in this game, do people have any preconceived alignment opinions about any of the characters?

I'll put it out there that I don't trust the people that weren't part of the original departure roster. This is primarily CCK, Fisk, and Moat, and to a lesser extent the shipwrecked people.

I don't think that Pod would have baked alignment into the flavor, but that's just me. I think that the scum are probably spread out over the game, with at least one in our original crew.

If I'm to be suspicious of anyone as far as flavor goes, though, the captain stopped the cook from serving fish every night. As the ship's cat, this is beyond the pale and cannot be countenanced.

100YrsofAttitude posted:

I figured it was based on previous misconceptions, which while I agree isn't very sporting, I admit that I'm no way beyond doing the same thing. I definitely have prejudices against some players, though that's only after having played with them several times. Also, I can be much more lenient on someone if I feel I wasn't once before (if you die here, you can be certain I'd give you a free pass elsewhere for example). Some people can come in with clean slates, I know I can't. So I don't hold that against them, it'd just be hypocritical.

I do think they care very much who it is they hang, with you being the core of the focus. I don't think Ecco or Pmom would go after just anyone, unless by who you mean Town vs Scum. In that case it gets a lot tougher to call, and in fact your death would go far in undermining their own standing, were you town. It would be harder to trust them after such a flip.

this is an especially bad post. Talking about how it'd be harder to trust Ecco or Pmom if Inf flips town? I don't understand this because Pmom said straight out that his was a policy vote, and I am fairly sure Ecco's vote is similar. I don't understand how policy votes would affect your perception of a player's ability to judge alignment when the votes have nothing to do with alignment.

The flavor that we've seen so far - Hawke's flip, plus what I'm assuming is TNL playing to his flavor - makes me a lot more likely to buy "white mage" than generic "doctor", in any case.

I mean, "conditionally activated superdoctor" is not the same as "doctor" was probably what he was trying to say, if I had to guess.

If I had to speculate right now, especially with only one kill last night, I doubt there's more than one doctor in the game. I think one of you or Pmom is probably lying.

Found the post I was referring to. Telling us who you used your action on absolutely does provide information. You are just dancing around this so no one can counterclaim your counterclaim. Who did you try to doc?

How would a proposed target of a claimed-roleblocked ability cause someone to be able to counterclaim

Unless you're implying there might be a tracker that saw him go somewhere, in which case this still doesn't make sense because, uh, he claimed to have been roleblocked

I've decided, after looking over the last few pages, that Glowku's fixation on Pmom's N1 target is bad, baffling, but not ultimately scummy. His frustration felt real when Pmom didn't reveal his target. What he thought he could do with that info was beyond me, but I'm willing to believe that he had some idea.

I'm not saying I agree with his reasoning, though, because I don't.

At the beginning of the day I thought town. I'm not convinced of his claim anymore, he's unhelpful and distracting. He's soft claimed he can't doc the same person twice in a row but says his action failed. Why would it matter sharing it then? It's less about who it is now, and more about why he won't share it tbh.

Seems scummy but I'm not sure which way to take it

Do you really see any tangible benefit to claiming a target on a night that you were roleblocked? This goes back to what a few players, including myself, have already said. I don't see being cagey about this as a scum tell from Pmom; I see it as him basically posting the equivalent of a gigantic in-thread eyeroll.

Do you think scum would make themselves this visible this early in the game?

If you aren't sure which way to take it, why did you explicitly call him scum?

Preview edit:

Mayor Glowku posted:

Thinking it over I could totally see him as a lyncher with his target being infi
I'm not sure I buy it, but it makes more logical sense than him as scum in my mind. At the end of the day, though, I find the counterclaim scenario more plausible than a lyncher.

FL: Has been posting and discussing the day, but hasn't really made any scum calls or put any pressure on. The only stance he's taken was "I think one of (Inf) or Pmom is probably lying." but didn't vote. He then kind of chipped around the edges of the Glowku/PMom thing.

To clarify my stance - and I had hoped it would be clear from the direction of my conversation with Glowku above - I still think that one of Inf or Pmom is lying and I think it's probably Inf. I will continue not to vote until later in the day.

I said at the outset of this morning's posts that I don't find Glowku scummy. Some of the posts in our back and forth still strike me as odd (it seemed like he had pretty concrete opinions on Pmom before I asked, but then he acts ambivalent in our conversation). I'm not sure what to make of that yet.

Beyond your opinion on PMom/Inf and acknowledging that you won't vote until later, do you have any scum reads on other players? Do you still feel that 100 is scum, or have you changed your mind?

I don't find his posting nearly as worrisome today, and have moved on to other things. I took some time and went back and filtered w/r/t his Keane case, and he's making the valid point that Keane had been posting without a ton of serious, direct engagement in thread. I'd rate it as a legitimate case, albeit one that I'm not interested in pursuing today.

As far as other posters who I've got my eye on, I'm watching DB at the moment. TNL made the original case, but it's borne out by a quick glance through filter. Seemed like he was trying to kill momentum on pretty much anything that got started, bouncing back and forth between a bunch of potential votes, very few of them really viable. He hasn't contributed much to this point today, and looking back over his D1 posting he talks a lot during the day about how he finds Inf's defense compelling, and questions why people are voting for him - then votes for Inf himself well before deadline with the justification of "just make people stop posting". It seems like a strange progression from his prior posts, especially the ones where he's talking about only voting Inf to avoid a no-lynch.

Slam beat me to what I was going to say re: Inf's roleclaim.

With regards to the reticence of PMom re: night 1 target, though, I really, really don't believe this is the case. If he had been tracked anywhere after claiming roleblocked, I can't believe that there's any way that that wouldn't have been claimed by now. I've discussed at least parts of that elsewhere, but the long and the short of it is that it looks more to me like a reluctance to disclose information that has no bearing on the course of the game rather than anything else.

glowku's been waffling back and forth on this scumcall way more than is reasonable

Meanwhile, w/r/t actual refutation of Inf's post - I already covered the "Pmom is reticent about claiming" thing in my previous post, his second point is meta, and his third point is not based in fact. Slam pointed out the timing - the post that Inf quotes in his case above came after Inf started talking about his role (activatable ability, "super doctor").

So when you strip all of this away, you're left with meta.

The crux of the argument is not that Pmom was lying, it's that there are various things that can cause a failure message, roleblocks being the most common.

Anyway, I've said it before and I'll say it again. If someone had night action results that implicated PMom as having visited somebody, they'd have claimed by now. Since that hasn't happened, I don't understand why you're harping on this.

First,

Mayor Glowku posted:

So uhhh. It was a fake claim then to try and kill infi?
This is not what was said. The chain is pretty straightforward here. He claimed white mage as flavor, then after Inf defined "white mage" with his wiki link, he noted that that matched his role as well. That's not a lie within the bounds of the game, that's not knowing that there was a specific name for his role.

I mean, I didn't know that until Inf linked the wiki article. I'd imagine a number of other people didn't, either.

Second,
