the hell does "being presented as" mean? you decided to shove in some jargon about motive and intent when what you meant was, simply, that you thought NGO and TQ were both doing a scummy thing, take at least some responsibility for my confusion

But, like, am I seriously the only one who didn't get it? Because god drat, that would be embarrassing and also kind of stupidly hilarious

No, honestly I think no one got it, which sucks.

I’m back at work so I’ll have to get back to you on the “vig thing” as I don’t know what that was.

Also your tone was chiller, off doesn’t mean necessarily bad in this case, just different and worth keeping an eye on (but not building a lovely meta case off of).

I don't think anyone actually said that? Wasn't I the first one to pull you up on it, and I didn't even say that you had said they were "exactly the same", I just openly wondered how the hell you could compare a poster with literally only 6 posts from ages ago to someone who'd been participating with way more white noise. I wondered how you could so vaguely claim any similarity in style and have it mean anything when you hadn't yet spelled out what that particular similarity was.

Then you jumped in asking if I was even feeling okay, cause it was apparently just that ridiculous to you, to have someone not totally psychically read your brain and understand your whole case. To have someone's first thought of their Mafia "style" not jump right to all these presumed hidden intents, but to their posting style, in a game played by posts! That read like a pretty fake reaction, which started the downhill slide.

See my impression from that was you were being facetious in equating number of posts with theme and intent, AND jumping to the defense of TQ trying to paint him as someone who was contributing when they actually aren’t.

Okay I’ve gone back over your last few posts and I’m still a little confused so maybe you can help me out here. Is “the vig thing” the fact I was annoyed with Juchero vigging a lurker D1? OR is it the fact that I’m annoyed by lurkers day 3 but defensive of them day 1?

Oh that. I dunno. I still kind of don’t know what you and KB are talking about there, I don’t remember you leaving someone you thought was scum alive for days on end, nor could I imagine pointing to anything that happened in shine V as an example of a good idea. Again all I picked up from that was you and KB were falling over yourselves to back each other up while both bizarrely defending a really bad idea. My take was you’d discussed the idea prior and that’s why you were both so quick to come out saying “lol not killing scum is a fantastic idea”.

I’m trying to lumpenlist while 3/4 asleep and started re-reading Hal and got all amped for thinking I was onto something and completely forgot he was dead. Two things I’m takinh from this a) I’m too tired to do a proper lumpenlist so I’ll finish it tomorrow and b) Juchero might be more town than I think. Hal honestly looked scummy so I don’t think scum would have picked him.

Eh, Gaspy's been my top pick for a while, but I'm starting to suspect that he's just posting unfiltered thoughts which is something I do as town, starting to cool a bit on him.

I'm reading Tired Moritz a bit harder and I think there might be something here. Looking at D1 he does a lot of whining about D1 bandwagons (and a lot of shitposting) but there's some other stuff too.

Tired Moritz posted:

yeah, I can see the case on TQ but thats because I feel like only people in the texan thread can make fun of Bif's backstabbing of bminus

Tired Moritz posted:

yeah i dont like that bif and gaspy believe so strongly that tq is scum but they're always like that tbh.

These two posts are 40 minutes apart, if he can see the case being valid why is it suspicious that people accept it? This kind of thing is a running theme in his posting, mainly it seems like he's trying to throw mud at the wall and hope it sticks.

After these its post and posts about killing lurkers (which is slightly :ironicat: since TM is definitely content lurking). I also find his choice of chaoslord when Juchero asked who he should vig to be slightly suspicious. Sure, chaoslord was just the dude at the bottom but he's also kinda known to pop into games later on and I feel like TM would know that.

Tired Moritz posted:

Does anyone cc B-'s flavor claim?

This post is an example of the meaningless content that TM has been spouting. Scum have fake claims, why would any CC a flavor claim? Its just empty posting to look like you're contributing.

The only actual scum calls he's really made are on Asiina, who hasn't really posted much. While I agree thats probably a scum tell for her (and also her vote on LMac when the thread was actively discussing switching to DB might label her Shinra), I think it more points towards TM being a on the Turk team.

I still see Gaspy and would vote. But given how slow the thread is it might be better to go for lurker scum first.

Asiina is an ok choice but she could really just be apathetic town, it's not a sure thing with her old meta anymore. I'd rather not vote in case she gets her mojo back.

I like the tired case above better and also still feel like ngo is a good choice.

now see, I could buy that - Hal had barely posted, tired Gaspy goes to Lumpenlist, and whoops!

But the "oh I woulda shot him too, because I think he's scummy!" bit, that's so drat nuts after all the big show of disapproval he made about it when Hal actually got shot in front of him. And it's not like it's just cause Hal ended up flipping town. Even when I brought up how I'd suggested Asiina instead, Gaspy said that would be a worthless vig too cause it would tell us nothing. The old "noooo don't kill lurkers they give no info!!" complaint that always drives me freaking nuts. Gaspy was against the whole idea of vigging a lurker to begin with and now he's flip flopping on that?

Gaspy argued against the idea of vigging a lurker at all, as opposed to your strongest active scumread. He even went so far as to say I'd be a poo poo player to suggest that honestly myself! So that was what got him to vote for me cause it must prove I'm scum! This isn't just him forgetting Hal was dead, this is him forgetting his own drat motivations and principles.

I'm sorry YPM, as much as I'd like to take your word for it, I can only rationalise and make excuses for Gaspy so much before the whole fabric of reality starts to freaking break apart.

Hello I’m awake now! Yeah it was dumb but I see how it happened, I was going back and reading the whole thread from the beginning (while basically asleep) and the deaths that stuck with me as important were Tithin, DB, gulag, pod, bminus and moat. People who were scum, and town players that got heavily cased as scum. With that mindset I went over it with a fine tooth comb looking for something I might have missed, and in the process completely forgot Hal had been killed because, as I was so annoyed by at the time, his death didn’t mean anything. There’s no data or strong opinions, just lurking and shadethrowing.

What I do take from this though is because on a reread Hal did look on the scummy side of lurking, my impressions about Juchero are probably wrong, as I mentioned before. I still hate vigs being used on lurkers, I’d personally use one late in the game to try to nail scum, and “I guess Juchero is probably not scummy” isn’t a reasonable trade for another whole town life.
