no for real. it's pointless, fake content. it's exactly the kind of post scum would make to blend in early on. i've learned not to give KB any ground whatsoever, i can probably count on a closed fist how many times he has been dunked as scum.

I mean, yes, it was obviously fake content, as you can tell by the context of the thread and people pretending to be their role.

And, while the second part is true, I think that is mostly because people can count on scum killing me if I'm town and sometimes they let that run a little too long.

Somberbrero posted:

this is the post that seems to have generated the most reaction so let's start there. i get why people are casing keane off of this, it's a lot of cavalier non-calls.

on its face, yeah this is a scummy post, but within the context of the slow day and the actual content itself, i ain't mad at it. king's reaction was weird. i don't think bif is scum. i'm not scum. yes keane could back away from this easily but he doesn't. his following posts are hip-shots but there is content there.

both of these are posts are him standing his ground, and he is pushing an actual candidate too, albeit softly.

(in regards to rf)

i would vote keane to avoid a NL but unless i really can't find anything else to work with, i don't think he's a good candidate for today.

He's not pushing an actual candidate though. He says my reaction is weird, but not only does he refuse to clarify, he doesn't actually call it scummy or call me scum.

Since you have jumped on the weird train, please explain what was weird about my reaction in detail.

Somberbrero posted:

okay, i want to come back to king.

this is not a useful point to make. it's obvious and irrelevant. it's quintessential fake content. when you have nothing else to say as scum, you speculate on the setup.

i put all those together because i want to lay out the context of the following argument clearly.

king uses the 'roleplay' aspect here as a shield. obviously not 100% of the above statements are in character, but king can choose what is relevant based on whatever is most convenient. i hate to dip into meta, but roleplaying doesn't feel very much like king.

if he's town, why not just engage me at face value? he does pull back on me, but only once he's diffused any heat on himself. it makes me very uncomfortable that we have to ignore his early game content.

preview edit: i think that's a sufficient breakdown of why your reaction was weird.

How is what I did not engaging you at face value? What is that supposed to mean?

You didn't understand what I was doing and I explained it. What is the response you expected me to take here that you think would be "normal"?

I love role playing. I do it multiple times a week. But I probably haven't done it much in mafia, given the nature of the game. I'm pretty confident I've done it briefly before too, but note, I didn't even put much effort into continuing it in this game either.

Also claiming I pulled back only after diffusing heat seems like scum narrative to me. Because among other things, it all happened in the course of 6 minutes as I caught up and read. I note you don't include the post where I obviously realized you were just confused:

I would actually vote Somber now for that last bit, but I like Keane better.

chaoslord posted:

Exactly. Seems. He's not actually trying to move the game forward because he still has not voted or even named a candidate. That post was to make it look like he was participating without actually doing so.

Yeah, the thing that is throwing me off about it, is since when does RF even care enough to do that?

But it was a truly bad post.

Kasumeat posted:

In the middle of writing up on Somber again, I came over this post again, and now it actually bothers me more than Somber:

Somber described this post as "obvious and irrelevant" but I actually think it's worse than that. I'm trying to see what value this post possibly has for town, and I don't see any. If KB is town, he can't possibly know this to be true, so there's absolutely no reason to make this post. There very well could be a janitor in this game, I fail to see how a N0 flavour kill changes the odds of that. All this post does is spread potential misinformation. If he's scum though, well, it spreads potential misinformation. I really find it hard to believe that KB could be anything but scum.

# ¿ Sep 11, 2017 19:29

So think it through and please provide the scum motivation for me making that post.

"Oh man, I can't wait to fool all these town by making sure they don't think there is a janitor in this game!" ?

Keeping in mind that Janitor is one of the more obvious roles in terms of demonstrated effect on the game.

Please explain my scum strategy.

I didn't think so, I'm all for prodding lurkers, but looking at it more closely, one thing strikes me as odd about it:

Somberbrero posted:

That's like the central premise of my post dude. Rather than addressing the scummy content of those posts, it's brushed off as roleplay.

... obviously I'm talking about roleplay within a mafia context. Why would your personal role play experience be relevant here?

That's just your narrative.

A) You think it is scummy because it seems fake, correct?
B) I agreed it was fake, because I was roleplaying, correct?

A+B = Yes, I addressed it directly. You are trying to present a false narrative.

If you want to continue trying to sell this, please provide me with an example of words you would have expected from me on this that you would have found "normal". The reason I keep asking for this, is because I think this is all fake and I don't think there is anything you can provide here.

b-minus1 posted:

go back to the op and read each of their posts. Slasher hawke has posted like 3 times in the last 2 days, and most recently "yawn". Those 20 posts don't contain much substance and he deserves to be called out for it

Cool, but if calling out specifically for content lurking I don't know why RF would get a pass. His only thing that looked like content he later says wasn't really.

b-minus1 posted:

also, all four of these posters have been active today. Why call them out when they're contributing now?

Again I waver on RF's content today making him "active", but fair enough. I guess it is certainly more active then "yawn".

Somberbrero posted:

king this is exactly my point. when you can say 'i was roleplaying' in response to scummy content, it gives you the ability to deflect any criticism. i probably would have dropped it on my own if not for your continued insistence that you don't see the point at all here. there are serious points embedded within your roleplay but i'm not allowed to address them because it's all being painted with the same brush.

I'm waiting for the example normal post.

So things I'm waiting on:
A)Scum motivation for original post
B)Example of how a "normal" person would have reacted to you calling it scummy
