Start by reading the thread and then say who you think is scum!

But... I don't know why I would think anyone in particular was scum.

I'm following along to see what will happen. None of the arguments seem very strong to me but this one seems like it's strongest and has a plurality of people behind it.

## vote merk

More specific - pick a couple of arguments and explain why you think they aren't strong, please!

Sure!

Argument 1:

Cold on a Cob posted:

I know it's a weak flavour trap. :colbert:

Seems weak. What's a flavor trap?

Argument 2:

Mordiceius posted:

Cold on the Cob is scum.

No evidence provided.

Argument 3:

NevergirlsOFFICIAL posted:

I have it on good authority that wren is a bird and not a cat

Someone can be a bird IRL and a cat in the game.

Possible argument 4:
Going based on how often someone says meow and how they integrate that into their posts.

Seems easy to fake.

I'm a she.

This is my second game ever and the first one didn't work right on Slack, so sorta my first one.

I don't see what we gain from not lynching someone the first day. The townies/cattes are the majority, right? And the baddies vote at night? So we "gather information" but then let them kill a goodie?

Could someone explain why that's a good strategy?

Is this right?

Playing mafia for the first time has made me so :tinfoil: it affected my feelings about adminning an off-site.

nah, i'm not waiting for "permission". i didn't realize i was expected to vote asap or as soon as i express my opinion about someone's scum status. :shrug:

##vote merk

Huh, it seems like it makes sense to vote right away if you for sure want there to be a lynching... since we didn't lynch yesterday because of time constraints/disagreement. I might be wrong but this just seems really sketchy to me.

hmmmm i think based on how quick the last day went, its likely one of the last votes or the non voters are the scumbos. out of the non voters (me or merk) i think i look the most suspicious cause of the vote on merk by coac and a new scumbo voting for his bud doesnt feel likely (but possible). i mean, im not the right choice but thats not much solace for anybody for me to say.

the other two of the last votes id called "suspicious" (which is mostly for its timing as the last votes) is wren and girlname. girlname gives an actual case instead of a lazy vote so thats a plus. wren's only post last day was saying one thing was sketchy that everyone else already called suspect. idk kinda want to go thru wren's posts to see if theres anything but i just got out of class.

Go for it; I'm a kitty cat. And I've voted both days, once for sure for a baddy.

Here are the votecounts, compiled.

I like flerp for a baddy since they didn't vote either day.

I like merk for a baddy since CoaC voted for them [b]both days,[b[ and they'd know that was a baddy and look good for them since there wasn't a majority to lynch them either day.

I'm not sure what roleclaiming means.

You're talking about the timing of my voting on Day 1, not Day 2, right, 2 penny bottle imp? I definitely wasn't sure what to do and I'm not sure of the importance of the 3rd and 4th votes and so on...

Let's also look at who the baddies killed the first night and what nevergirls said.

NevergirlsOFFICIAL posted:

## vote flerp

- Posts feel fake-helpful
- Flip can help us learn about imp and merk and me I guess potentially
- hasn't voted

GenericGirlName also not great and can vote on them

both of you should vote for somebody

Mord voting nolynch is stupid

That's after a couple different jokey votes from him the first day without a lot of justification. I think that's the first one with a long explanation. He was also pushing us to lynch the first day.

Disagree on merk, look back at coac's posts. He didn't just vote merk, he pushed a case on him consistently both days. That doesn't feel like scum trying to casually throw their buddy under the bus to me.

Yes. I looked back and I think you're right about that. I think I just got messed up because of the both days thing.

I think the fact that nevergirls said to vote flerp with justification and then got killed the first night is all the reasoning I need though.

##vote flerp

I'm not scum, though I'm not sure how much that assertion matters. I've voted both days and participated, even if I wasn't sure what was going on. flerp has been posting but without voting.

Podima is saying flerp seems scummy for a variety of reasons.

Day 1, nevergirls said that flerp seemed scummy and got lynched. Now on Day 3, I'm saying flerp seems scummy and flerp is saying I'm scum. :thunk:
