Oh okay cool I was going to see if I could figure out who was Aubrey because peramene would definitely have made them scum. Reminder that she used Aubrey as her av on the forums for a good long time, including when she was an evil horrible person in Awful Survivor.

I'm perfectly okay with my Hal vote. Considering he's not directly addressed me, I am concerned.

On a read-through this feels like the most fake content in the game so far. The original vote seemed to be intended as a jokephase vote and the way it morphed into "I am concerned because he didn't address my vote" doesn't feel genuine to me.

When it boils down to it, I've only had 2 games and 4 d2s worth of experience. One scum, one town. That was my point.

Anyways, my argument contradicts itself, right? Mind pointing out how so? Because you missed out a bit. 'By itself.' I was saying that the vote wasn't necessarily enough evidence. He could have posted soon after, giving a reason. Or even post at all. But the fact that he hasn't posted in this thread that much apart from a joke conversation about popping shortly after the game's start, that vote that basically says 'holy poo poo sandwolf is in this???' and his signup leads me to believe that redneck's probably scum.

Assuming you're willing to give me a pass (as I had no control over how much nazgul posted), who would be your next strongest suspect?

I've also never played flipless and agree with the sentiment of "wait, doesn't that mean we're stuck in perpetual d1?" but am always down for a challenge

I haven't really seen anything from Jam that's made me change my mind there yet but I guess there's still plenty of time in the game day for that.

Right now my gut leans towards Flam and Pod both having been town - I feel like the d1 lynch resulting in scum is almost as rare as the NK doing it.

Bif made a post about watching the NK target, and then voted you to open D2 - it's entirely possible (probable even) that she was just goofing around but I figured it's as good of an opening vote as any.

I'm not trying to interject too much RL into this but I've been struggling with lately. I slept like 10 hours into the day after playing Civ 5 until 8am. I didn't reread anything from before today, sorry I lied and said I would. I'm not part of a masonry either and without any flips I really have no clue where to start. Like someone said, WIFOMing the kill probably won't lead to much.

Y'all can lynch me if you want, I know a few of you still think I'm the best choice, but I'm not scum and unfortunately you won't even gain any information from lynching me.

I think if anyone else has more info about the setup it can only help us. This masonry hint from Max doesn't seem dishonest, but it seems strange that no one else has backed him up.

The silver lining to choking as bad as I did in FF5 is that I think I can see it when other people are going through similar stress trying to scum.

Oh, no. Just that everyone should be in a masonry.

How do you mean "should be in a masonry"? Is it like assessing the present situation (ie "I counted the money and it should all be in there") or recommending a future one (ie "we have all this money, we should go on vacation!")? Or is it phrased that way and the meaning is ambiguous?

To be fair, my case was a reference to a game you weren't in so I can see where it wouldn't have made sense to some people. I'm going to put it in my next post.

I've been skimming the thread and not really making any connections because I'm being lazy, but I'll turn it around asap, please trust I'm not scum.

I'm sorry, I'm playing in another game and that is taking up most of my attention. I really am trying to keep up with the thread and I have a few ideas I want to think about before I speak them out lest I be even slightly wrong about something and someone hounds me for it forever.

What things do people see from Jam in these posts? Choose all that apply:

(a) a self-conscious awareness of how others perceive him
(b) effort put into explaining why he's not making cases
(c) cases and votes

Jamuraan posted:

MY THOUGHTS SO FAR:
Somber: Somber is reading scummier and scummier as I read more. I find strange buddying to be a scum attempt to latch onto a weaker town early to get an extra vote and then they try to flip and lynch them in the middle days. I think this is exactly what Somber was trying to do with me. And then his attack on MMT didn't make any sense to me, where his basis for voting was from one of MMTs very first posts. I really thought Betrayer was town, and I don't really see the case here on MMT either.

Bif: It always bothers me when people are super active, to the point of trying to lead or coerce. Bossy scum are dangerous and scary, and that's what I think Bif is doing this game. Also part of my suspicion is that Bif might actually be the anonymous messenger and for whatever reason doesn't want to admit it. All this non-sense makes me wonder if there's any alignment meta to address. Is the mysterious mason buddy more likely to be Scum or Town? Obviously Somber and his whisperer aren't both scum or the masonry makes no sense. Maybe 3p? This part is loving with my head too much so for now I'm just gonna assume it's a bad role trying to sow discord, but not necessarily scum. I know that last part is WIFOMy but I still think Bif looks scummy without it.

I feel like you're contradicting yourself here - if you think Somber is scum, what could the masonry possibly be? Why would there be someone lying about their identity in a masonry to a scumbo?

I don't want to oversimplify and confuse the issue, but how much of this could be explained as poor town play rather than effective scum play? i see most of that posting as attributable to town as well.

I think that the self-consciousness is specifically a scum trait - like the last time I was scum I felt hyper-aware of the fact that I didn't have any sort of point of view and kept apologizing for it, and after thinking about it I came to realize that I only ever do that as scum.
