Yeah I'm not seeing anything that's making me want to move off Flam? It doesn't matter what his role is, we're in a role madness CYOR, everyone can make up something ridiculous and everyone'll go "yeah that sounds plausible." Anyone using this as a reason to unvote is kinda missing the point or maybe willfully misrepresenting as an easy way to fake content!

He freaked out with no pressure on a role he should have known was probably going to be not fully actionable D1 since votes are flying all over the place. Then he subsequently said "I knew this was a big game so ____________" to defend an action. Those two pieces of understanding do not jive together, which is, like, textbook scum backtracking after a bad move.

What is the reason Flamander isn't scum based on his ACTIONS, not his claim? The claim is irrelevant.

But why would he have freaked out in the first place?

Hal, who are your scum reads currently?

Here are your responses to the two main contenders:



But I don't see you telling us who you think we should be voting.

Yeah I know I am a loser, I don't really have any great scum reads. I genuinely don't feel like Flam was scum suddenly flailing but I will look at what you said about the P-Mush case.

Give me a little bit to get into things and I will have some reads I am sure.

Quidthulhu posted:

Yeah, and that's the thing, WHY he freaked out is all WIFOM and that's an impossible question to answer. I don't even know why Hal is asking that, he should know better.

What IS clear is he used one argument to support his freakout, and then contradicted it when it was convenient. That reads as scum backtracking. I've said this a bunch of times I don't know why I am repeating myself.

Settle down. I will reconsider in light of this statement

I don't see the contradiction.

If anything I would vote Flam for basically disappearing and not posting anything outside of his defense, but I don't get what supports what you are saying Quid.

Hal Incandenza
Feb 12, 2004

Like I don't get WHY he claimed his role, he seemed overly anxious to do so with the "great now my powers wont work" post, but it also doesn't seem like scum would panic from a single vote and feel like they had to make up this claim.

Quid apparently can never remember what happened to him all the time when he first played mafia

Flamander posted:

I just feel like I have to be overdefensive about my town position. Been lynched first a lot recently. If I'm useful to town, I won't be lynched. So, seeing that I was getting votes on me, I came to the conclusion that it was claim my role or be lynched D1 again.

I actually don't like this answer very much. If you had said you knew you were going to get voted all the time because that is what happens to you (something I could totally understand) and you would only get to use your power if you claimed, that would be sensible. Being worried you were going to be taken out D1 seems a little too paranoid.

Bifauxnen posted:

Nah, like I've been saying Flam really does get voted out early a lot. So I could see him being defensive or paranoid. But he should not have seen it as an unlikely thing at all to cop a few votes on D1 to delay his power. So the freakout reads a bit weird when he should have been resigned to that at least.

I guess I feel like if you are that resigned to it then you just claim out of the gate but ehhhh it all still comes off a bad play more than scummy.

I still don't see how any of it was inconsistent as Quid is claiming.

I am not implying you need to cast votes now, I'm implying that if you're going so far as to show any intention of voting him, you must think Quid is super hella scum

I'm sorry you are so hurt that I didn't vote D1 but since someone got killed and 6 other people weren't voting maybe let it go. The vast majority of the time I am around at deadline or voting, this day happened to almost all fall on a weekend and I was busy so I didn't have the time I normally would. I just got home 15 minutes after the deadline, sorry. I had to have a friend draft my FF football team because I couldn't get home until the end of that too, people in this game can confirm that I didn't show up on that chat until it was almost over

I can assure you that I will be around tomorrow and will happily vote multiple times to make it up to you.

Hal why are you so salty? My gosh.

I fully admit I was wrong and it's cool to be upset about that because I fully championed a scum flip on Flam. But what are you doing, man, I don't think I've ever seen you come that hard with a "get off my back" before.

I'm not, I was sincerely apologizing and I don't take any of this seriously enough to get salty at anyone.

Certainly not mad at you!
