right, but we have thirteen more pera no's

that's a lot of rules that we could nix if we are allowed to go back and forth

I don't think this is right?

All of us got given a pera no, but presumably if there are 23 of us and 23 pera nos then scum must have at least some of the pera nos right?

If there are 5 or 6 scum in the game then we only have an excess of 7 or 8 nos to the yes charges.

Right but if someone refused to use theirs that would be uh

turbo stuff was a bunch of garbage but i can't tell who's scum out of the people who discussed it. b- drops the conversation thread on it early, then kash and toal seem to take it a bit further and that reads worse to me so consider my eye on you two

i still think sc is scum, because her early posts still read as having non-public info (e.g., in context of her later posts, her question here reads as constructed) and then she didn't really any other posts on topic.

that's the best i have d1 so far because there's been just a bunch of shitposting so if i missed some actual content wel'p

To be fair I've never seen anyone come close to actually getting turbo'd apart from Asiina. Maybe turbos were a thing that happened previously in mafia history, but they're a thing that I've never seen.

so is the ASF thing just a lurker vote at this point or what, like i agree there's nothing there that's meaningful but :vov:

of the people below the vote threshold i'd prefer xad as all they have done is +1 other people's posts and softly pushed an idea of "don't use no's at all" so i'll land there for now I guess ##vote xad

there's nothing for me to comment on from the last three pages but i hate you all for making me read it

fine

the first serious rule that we talked about in thread was clearly scum slanted, also

pera NO's were granted to all players to use as a town focused mechanic to kill rules, and pera Yes's were granted to scum to keep rules in place

why would it be a waste? if it doesn't do anything, we can just go back to voting and casing like normal. like, the only case in which we actually lose something would be "i'm right about pera being a player; oh, also, she's immune to being voted"

if she is a player, then the vote goes through

if she's not a player, then we just vote someone else.

sc: nope, she's still scum or scum adjacent based on everything i've seen of her posting, the hypothesis of "she can be voted" is separate from that but regardless of whether she can or not i think she's scum?? i don't feel like i'm switching my reasoning

okay! i've already talked about why I thought you were scum a couple (actual) days ago, and i've already talked about why your case on me here was predicated on fabricated reasoning. let's discuss the other stuff that also contributes

- in between me originally voting you and now, you've posted a lot but have no real opinions other than apparently the one on me, and some chatting about setup spec
- you've driven two derails - one short one here and another much longer one here that led to a huge distraction pretty close to deadline

Seriously though. The argument for attempting to kill the Mod makes the most sense as an impotent grab for town cred. It backfired because every good logical argument on the topic points to it being a waste of time and effort, not to mention a distraction from scumhunting.

they were pretty stubborn about this idea of getting a bunch of people to manually vote for pera with less than 6 hours to deadline, then when called on it hedged and said "well it's fine to try tomorrow"

what? explaining my reasoning is openness, not stubbornness. also nobody called me on anything related to deadline timing, you're making that up. I'm not sure why you'd lie about that when it's easily checked.

i stand by my reasoning. sc spent the entire game day making meaningless posts and only came in right at the end to try and target me, voting me for responding to questions about a piece of reasoning that she was asking questions about

so this is interesting because asf is saying here that she misread the thread when she was initially trying to throw suspicion on me earlier today

but then she doubles down and says i was tunnelling SC while b- was getting voted? that's actually not true - i voted SC well before any momentum got started on b- and I switched over to what I considered was the better target of the two players near EOD yesterday.
