I recently surveyed an email regarding vast amounts of erection that can be attained for only 19.99 USD. The precipice of such a great deal both humors and concerns me. What of regulation, what of the human condition. I have a suspicion this is the same entrapment when Tasha emailed me interested in sexual encounter but ended up being a mere falsehood.

You've not lived if you haven't had a 20 dollar e-mail erection send you to ER.

Could you make a comment about Hal Incandenza please?

Good point, I love Hal, but he is high on the lurker list.

He's been pretty good in general lately though, imo.

Lumpen posted:

SolusLunes hasn't struck me as particularly scummy. My only noteworthy thought right now about SolusLunes is that if A Sometimes Food were to flip and be town, then SolusLunes' reaction to my vote might be scummy white-knighting.

Maybe lumpen is scum.

He makes a bad vote on asf. Then sets up a conditional for solus to be scum if asf happened to be town.

I really think ASF was joking. And you're intentionally making it a thing.

Hello folks.

Hambeet is the scum. It feels quite obvious from his posting. 95% of it is nonsense that will be dismissed as jokephase shitposts, 5% of it is scummy posting that pings the hell out of me. ##vote hambeet

BottleKnight, I think you're misreading is a really weird way. What you're saying is not lining up with the actual events of the game or the clear intentions of the posts you're reacting to, like, at all.

I do agree with this though.

Future Inquisitor Lumpen is hit and miss. But I agree with his brief callout on dancer. And his mounting case on BK. I think BK has a bad case on hum

A Sometimes Food posted:

Man.

Bruce Willis is really a one trick pony huh?

Anyhow, in short:
I think ham is town
I think solus could be scum
I think dancer is probably scum
I think merk agreeing with lumpens asf case is super bad and is probably scum
I think bks case on hum is bad

I know I haven't posted in a while and I'm just checking in to say yes I'm following thread, thank you everyone scum hunting. I don't really follow the logic on a lot of these votes but it's cool to watch happen.

So Merk cause they're scary and afk a bunch and Dancer cause 3-4 people think Dancer says scummy things? Is that right?

The explanation on dancer is rooted in his behavior and common scum tropes.

Dancer overreacted to an obvious joke probably because it popped out on a quick skim as a real critique. Scum, needing to save face, often overreact in this manner. It's not concrete, but he didn't do much afterwards that made him look better.

I'm 50/50. I think I am and would rather vote merk solely based on his vote of asf following lumpen's case.

No junk policy lurk stuff. Read lumpens bad case on asf and then merks agreement.

Even as a joke I don't really like the fakeclaim.

If no one counterclaims it can be later used as breadcrumbs.
If someone does counterclaim it can be used to both ferret out a town to kill and written off as a joke.

Feels like a low risk potentially high reward play for scum, pointless thing to do for town.

Just because you don't find something funny doesn't mean it wasn't a joke.

Remember how Disney didn't find James Gunn's tweets not funny and fired him?

Jokes are hard even for distinguished film directors let alone some poo poo poster on a dying web forum.

Take a moment to reflect on yourself and why you wear shoes indoors. Sneakers without socks, Sandals with socks. These are all shameful practices but they are acceptable to the person doing them since people don't care about their own social failures.

Have you ever been in a store and saw another person with wholes in their shirt? Did you judge them as a poor? What if they were a lazy slob or what if they even didn't even know. These are all assumptions we make based on our cognitive experiences. But this is a game of forum mafia where we are trying to find bad people.

The problem with judging activity is theres many people who sign up that don't actually care. Take Merk for example who signed up for the game and didn't realise it was a holiday weekend then realised it was a holiday weekend and complained about it. This isn't malicious its just careless.

The lack of care is a complex issue. Is it neglect, a lack of motivation, or simply just anxiety over some other pressing issue.

Taking all this into account I will say that all this evidence definitively makes Dancer scum.

Not because he is actually a bad person in this mafia or is a positive role for town. That is a great unknown that can only be revealed until its too late. It is ultimately a feel I recieved. I interrupted multiple responses in ways I have already explained in this post. My personal cognitive response to dancer is one of being a scum player. I believe this even more now that I have spent a solid 2 minutes making this educated post. I have reinforced my own opinions.

Reinforcing your own opinions is not necessarily a healthy practice, but it is one I have decided to take part in.

Have you ever heard the saying "Keep digging that hole"? I feel like I have fallen into this trap and I don't know how to get out of it. But instead of internalizing my thought process i have decided to share it, to allow more intelligent and higher IQ players understand me. This way with absolute honesty I remove doubt not just from my own mind, but others regarding myself.

In this game of deception honesty is important and it is something that has to be earned. I hope I've earned your honesty.

Dancer is a scumbo bitchbag

I'll give yuming and beakers cases on beet another read, but I don't really agree, that's just me.

I still am iffy on dancer because his "joke response" to imgay's "joke post" seems more serious than he lets on in his follow up explanation

Could possibly see lumpen as scum because for every good point he makes he makes 2 more lovely points and deflects off his good points with flimsy defenses, makes it look like bussing.

I covered all of this in that long post I made and the posts after it. merk disappeared. DB came back and defended his vote when asked. ArbC discussed why they made their vote before and after making it.

Sos made it and used the exact same reason Lumpen was voting as their justification, then completely disappeared until votes started appearing. You using this weak defense that I already addressed makes me think you're scum defending scum.

Tbf I was grocery shopping and didn't read or even see your post. I just made a standalone judgment call off of what I remembered since we are close to deadlone. Weak or not it still stands and resonates with opinions you also felt so its suspicious you take this as scum defense when I'm pointing out how strange the switch to sos is when several players performed similarly and others also fit the lurker bill. It's a strange vote since you know, everyone parachuted off of the poo poo show that was asf.
