Lately if I am playing I am scum, and if I'm lurking my rear end off I am town, but I just lurked two games in a row as scum and town so I would focus on my play because my meta is not very helpful.

i'm not gonna vote you for this because you're quid, but yikes.

I don't like glowku, he hasn't really played the game at all yet. Somber basically hasn't engaged either. We're far enough past the end of jokephase to have content to discuss. There isn't a ton, but it's enough to get started.

this game has been open for 32 hours and i was hosting out of town guests up until today. usually i can sneak in some mafia time at work but i'm training someone this week.

if there's enough content to do some serious work, why are you doing a lurker callout?

I don't like him sucking up to me, but I like that he independently voted Hats for decent reasons.

I might have been reading his posts agreeing with me too generously though, from thinking he had twigged on to my flavor angle. But for now I'm not seeing him as scummy as you are. His participating at all makes me see him as more likely town too.

i know this was a forced read but i don't like how noncommittal it is.

i don't like THIS action but i do like THIS action

this COULD be scummy but maybe it ISN'T.

Captain Foo
Why Vote?
L O T S of fun but low-content posts.

Why Not Vote?
I played one game where he was scum, very content heavy and not that fun. It was like a personality switch.

Right now I'm leaning
code:
not

in going back to read bif, i have a lot more problems with birdstrike. i can't figure out what the point of this post is as town. if you think someone is scum, you make a case to get votes on them so that you can vote out the scum and win the mafia game. i don't understand the point of making a case and then undercutting it. there's no point in doing this as town.

Birdstrike posted:

folks I have an idea

MMT are just going to keep doing this until they get a room, but all the sleeping cars on this train are full, so

let's make a room for them

THUNDERDOME Quid vs MMT who is with me?

what does this accomplish?

Birdstrike posted:

OKAY OKAY I got to here and there is SO much more crap I haven't bothered quoting (or probably reading), this gist is that Quid is way more focused on defending himself than being useful.

It's not necessarily scummy behaviour but it's not pro-town.

so quid is probably not scum. why was this case made then?

Birdstrike posted:

MMT then gets some other opinions on people who aren't Quid, some of which I agree with, some of which I don't (ie I wouldn't vote tpink)

just shut up about quid, yeah

whyyyyyy? why start this thunderdome suggestion on two people that you can't even make a convincing case for?

to summarize the argument, it seems like bird is trying to blend by generating pointless content. i'm still reading back through.

Bifauxnen posted:

MT asked me if I had a killing role. I didn't answer this and called it suss because it was rolefishing. She directly asked me, about my role. Thus rolefishing.

I then proceeded to joke with my bud Birb who I believe to be an expert on jokes, asking him about his role, except an even more sensitive one that is classicly best to not ask about, and followed it up with an immediate threat that if he did not answer my question about him being a cop that I would find his reluctance very scummy indeed!

tbh i don't really know what to make of this post or the responses you got from this thought exercise. mmt comes off worse in the following exchange, but not 'scum worse,' just 'bad worse.'

Hi friends I have read nothing yet please tell me what is relevant so far in the form of bullet-pointed links. Each player please give me up to 3 post-links that they consider the most damning and scumtellery or relevant to the gamestate, that nobody else linked to. I will read these first and then as I have time catch up on the whole game with the unique perspective tinged by those posts to guide my Scumdar.

You pulled these all up pretty quickly, are you done with your reread or have you been silently following along the whole time?

i don't think you can really 'reread' an active game that's already thirty pages frankly. i've jumped around a lot, haven't really been following since looking at 400 unread posts made me feel anxious and gross.

out of curiosity did you actually click through those links?

Quidthulhu posted:

MMT you are harping on something that has absolutely no merit to my case whatsoever. I've already said that I haven't really reviewed all the N0 setup spec stuff and have been looking more at what people are saying about it / each other because I think that's more useful. You are picking some Hats quotes that are before the delineation I posted of my suspicion, which again, timeline wise goes like this

-[everything about N0 that I guess Hats was involved in and which I haven't read at all]
-People start earnestly casing people based on the N0 speculation
-Hats makes a statement about the current cases which I saw as being very hedgey
-I call Hats out on this
-Hats and other people make more statements
-I ask Hats if he is new scum to gauge his reaction
-Other people say Hats is not new, Hats says he is more often awkward as town than scum
-Other poo poo has also happened at this point so I have at this point cooled on Hats because I actually buy what he's saying and there's also new, more engaging discussion. I say as much.

So no, the posts I've already said multiple times I haven't read and which didn't influence my decision...didn't influence my decision? Like maybe we're just not on the same semantic page here but I cannot think of any reason you keep saying it's suspicious I am not talking about an interaction point that I didn't consider at all when looking at the poo poo that was happening more live in front of me. Yeah maybe I should go back and read it but I've cooled on Hats and already said why, why am I going to go back on D1 and look for a smoking gun on someone I'm not feeling is guilty now?

Quidthulhu posted:

I am not trying to throw shade on you, I am continuing to point out that you are nitpicking and asking questions that don't jive with...anything that's important? I would have thought you would have dismissed this whole thing as "ok so clearly we misunderstood each other" but the fact that you're continuing to push this narrative of my faking content here when I've clearly laid out for you my thought process three times....I think it's you who's faking content, MMT.

##vote MMT

quid is doing what quid always do. i don't think he's wrong and i think casing him off that is goofy.
