Lol you’re voting me just because I called out one of your posts? There’s no case there at all. Do you really think I’m scum?

I’m a relatively new player and I’m trying to learn, but every game I feel like I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t. I was told to not just say “I find bif suspicious and instead quote exactly what rubs me the wrong way. I was giving you a chance to respond before voting for you. Your response didn’t sell me as town, but it was probably more aggressive than what i think scum would be so I’m still not voting for you, but will be carefully watching your posts. Ta.

It's 1:20am, so I'm on my way to bed. I may be wrong, but the other posts were mostly people quoting his VT claim and calling BS on it. I didn't think they were trying to make it out to be that he was scum.

I can quote a few of imgay posts tomorrow, but imgay has openly admitted to be a recruiter (aren't those third party) and therefore not town? Additionally, his whole role (Vampire?) doesn't seem townie.

I think my biggest scum pick would be imgay. He might be joking about his role, but at the very least it sounds 3P and not town. B- I can’t really read, but Jimmy seems to be lurking a lot more than normal/when he is town. I just woke up (11:30am :wink: ), but I’ll switch to the pc and read through b-, imgay, yourself, possibly pod and and Jimmy.

Humanlong was starting to ping me, but surely scum couldn’t be Lynch-proof. So I’m assuming he’s town.

Beyond your opinion that they're scum, I'm confused why you think they're going to yield better infotainment?

I already explained my position on why I had the scum opinion of them. Yeah it’s gasping at straws a bit, but it’s day 1. It’s not like we have a lot to go on. I don’t think that lynching that would yield better info than lynching you but I think there’s a good chance that one of them is scum. I think that letting lurkers go free because “we won’t get any info by lynching them” isn’t a good strategy. Scum take advantage of lurking and you can normally find them in lurkers.

I still imgay’s weird vampire thing is possibly third party and the better lunch today. I’m leaving my vote on jimmy for now though to see how he responds to it.

Fair enough. The truth is that I’ve played with b- for a few games now and I’ve been completely sure that he’s town on games where he was scum and viceversa. I read through his posts and there’s little content there but at least he’s posted a bit more than normal (does that make him more likely to be town? Or scum? :shrug: ). Its day 1 we’re all gasping at straws.

My best vote for today would be imgay. I put pressure on natural (who to be fair I didn’t know was asleep) and Jimmy (who I’m used to his posting a lot), because they were lurking and lurking is bad for town.

I need more time to read the thread. Not 100% sure how I feel about the b- vote. While I can see how it began with the whole "I think Sal is scum but not state any reason why", I am apprehensive of how it got to -2 relatively quickly.

Did you mean b- or imgay? B- is actually at -5 at the moment. I agree that the b- vote kind of escalated. imgay votes makes sense (if b- becomes option #2, then there's a good opportunity for imgay to save himself), but bif's post felt a bit scummy. MMT's case on b- is that he said "they played a few games since fate mafia".... and he said "I felt pings on Sal". I agree that the latter really came off as scummy, but the first was a bit grasping.

How interesting!


Kit had only weak suspicion of me before. They walked it back a bit, seeming to decide that I could be town who just looks scummy.

And despite their suspicion of me, Kit had no problems agreeing with me about someone else, in the case of jimmy.

But when I bring up b-minus, suddenly I sound scummy again.

Things are really getting exciting!

lol this is me in a nutshell, and I can't stop doing it despite getting called out on it every game. I'm a confused mess in general, but I think it steams from my "always seeing both side of the argument" personality. I'm a very agreeable person! A person might be trash scum, but I'm sure there don't lie about everything!

Anyways, I'm sure that I say and do things all the time which in hindsight might seem scummy. I see it happening to town players all the time (since scum are normally a lot more cautious than we are), which is why I try to not let it all hang on one scummy sounding post.

Adding to this, as town... I have absolutely no certainty that you are scum, so despite my gut feels, I acknowledge that I may be wrong about them and agree with the things that a scummy sounding player is saying. Then hopefully other players can comment on those interactions and they can open up conversation.

Hello I am here, just finished a full reread and will be around for a bit before I need to drive home

Quickfire feelings:
- imgay submitted the same role for a previous CYOR game that I can’t find easily on my phone. Imgay which one was it, if you recall? Regardless I think the meta related push on him lacks value especially with existing day 1 content being pretty good! I am suspect of people who are staying on that to the exclusion of all else and would like comments from those currently voting him: b-, KB, nat20, chaoslord, and Kit. Thank you!
- town reads on Jimmy (yes reversal of prior statement), Bif, and MMT.
- I see the b- vote and could go that way, but I’d like people to look at pera. She hasn’t voted a single time today and her posts feel uniformly manufactured to be sidelong comments without laying down actual game opinions.

I just woke up, but I'm going to quote this post here and comment on a few things that called out to me about it.

- You quote that CYOR game like it is a strong reason to not vote imgay, which fyi: most of us don't know about and as such couldn't consider it, and when looking at said role... it absolutely does not set it on town. At the very least, it'd make the game (players full of spoiler tags) more annoying for everyone.

- You say "at exclusion of all else", but do not highlight what is exactly the "all else?". Where's the solid case we should be focusing on instead of imgay?

- Town reads on Jimmy, bif and MMT. MMT I can see, and bif I can sort of understand due to your follow up post (not this one), but Jimmy has barely posted in the game. Care to clarify?

- You ask us to have a look at Pera and then drop it quickly and only push for me.

- You say "I am suspect of people who are staying on that to the exclusion of all else and would like comments from those currently voting him: b-, KB, nat20, chaoslord, and Kit.", but then say:

Podima posted:

This is fair and I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate. Could you please look back at Kit, pera, and B-?

conveniently dropping Natural 20 (who seems more and more scum to me), CL and KB.

You have also said both of these things:

Podima posted:

Forgot from original post, would also look at Kitiara - there’s the newbie aspect to consider but a lot of her jumping around of opinions doesn’t feel natural, as well as her settling on some lurkers (but not others) before going back to imgay.

And:

Podima posted:

I also don’t really see how Kit’s defensive post in return (over a single vote) makes her look at all better than Bif. It is worth pointing out the scum tendency to try and carefully craft their posts to avoid suspicion (eg. Manufactured posts) which is mostly what jumped out at me from the same qualities you call “levelheaded” in her reply.

If I was manufacturing my posts, I would not be jimping around on opinions. Also note that I explained why I settled on 2 lurkers rather than all 3, those two seemed suspicious to me rather than the 3 who just wasn't posting (and I think will fall into lurker gun on day 2). You neglected this bit. You also did the same thing by ignoring Natural 20, CL and KB as above.

I've noted this before and I jump around opinions and thoughts a lot. It's my personality. So it's either this (which I don't like, since it makes me look confused and dumb) or go back to my lurker self.

I disagree with all of those things above, but even with that I can acknowledge the good comments you've made. How is that not natural? I'm jumbled because I'm town and I can see how most of you could be scum or town.

Podima posted:

Kit, among many other things (jumping around to call out some lurkers but not others) why are you hunting 3p instead of scum here?

I think this is a good point. I have learned (most recently from that Verge game) that 3P is very dangerous to have around. They're upping the kill range every day and making the game end a lot faster, which only benefits scum. So although imgay's role seemed more 3P than scum, the vampire aspect of it felt scummy to me too. So from my perspective, imgay is not town... he's either 3P or scum and given that I don't have any information on any other player so far (this is day 1 remember), then I am happy to lynch him.

imgay just picked a role that has absolutely no benefit to town, when he could have chosen anything! This is why I agree with KB that even if imgay is town, he doesn't really have our best interest at heart.

Since my post, you should have had a good number of hours to come in the game and try to help us catch scum. Since then you've come on and posted 3 joke posts, a couple of unrelated posts and a response to my question (which was appreciated). So I think Natural 20 is my second pick for scum.

Also, I'd like to point out that yes I am suss about Rhjamiz too, but he should be a free lynch tomorrow.

I'll also agree with MMT that Solus vote on b- was weird. It seemed like trying to get momentum going on b- and away from imgay.

My rationale is that out of the three of imgay, b- and Yami, I found yami to be the most suspicious.

It’s not like I went out of my way to try and mould the joke vote into something serious. I agreed with what MMT said made Yami look suspicious and I’m more comfortable throwing my vote that way than b- or imgay.

Dude. We’re 2 hrs from deadline and you’re placing a vote on yami who has 0 other votes. We need to endure a no lunch.

I forgot to comment that I feel that this is entirely fair and something that I hadn't considered. Thank you for phrasing it that way.

As scum, I used to a. post less b. read my posts a lot (as well as previous post to ensure they were consistent) and c. run the posts by my scum buddies. I assumed that was natural scum behaviour and posting a lot without giving your post thoughts was the townie thing to do. I'll try to moderate myself and be better, but I'm generally very scattered brained so I can't promise total consistency.

In this case, I did mean that role to role, b-'s is at least useful. It may not tell us his alignment, but he will continually offer town information which can help catch scum or verify town or gently caress him up if he is scum. The same can't be said for imgay's role.

Hmm... a few people seem to have said this, but it doesn't sound quite right, does it? No one paid much attention to MT's case on B- at all until I brought it up. I even mentioned how disappointing it was, that it was being ignored!

Then once people finally started paying attention, and one or two more people voted b-minus... all of a sudden, everyone is so worried now about his momentum being too fast. Even though he's still not come close to the momentum on imgay!

I can't help but find these reactions suspicious, you know?

I see your point, but those votes (2-3) for b- came over the space of a couple of hours. I was around when it happened, it just felt really sudden. It calmed down a lot once MMT brought attention to how quickly it was happening, but he has only received votes since. Whereas, imgay has been sitting on five votes for nearly 24 hrs.

Like I am more than happy to entertain another vote, but realistically speaking I don't think we'll get lucky and catch scum with a rush vote right now.
