before you say anything, no i'm not purposely trying to take anything out of context, but i did delete other text in your post that wasn't related to kash and mmt. "mmt playing into scum meta/die scum/ waiting on mmt to come back" to me, this looks like you are trying to disguise an mmt scumbus with a kash joke read/vote so that you don't actually have to commit to voting mmt.

If we no-lunch day 1 it would be really on brand for a fraternity of cops to not prosecute one of their own. But that is intolerable. ##vote Kash

Max posted:

Also MMT is playing into her scum meta. She's mostly commented on safe topics and hasn't made any hard calls about people's alignments based on how they are posting.

Sorry MMT, ILU but also die scum.

Max posted:

But that's all conjecture and WIFOM. I'm voting Kash right now because he hasn't really done much and I want to pressure him into participating, while waiting on MMT to come back, because as you said, I was on her as well. She checked in to say she'd post more later, so I'm holding off on that until I see posts from her.

Hey I'm stuck at an airport waiting on a delayed flight irl so I'm on my phone, teleconferencing in to CopCon.

I don't have a read on Kashuno right now and I think it's odd how the conversation got steered my way (and unfortunate timing, really!), but reply I must - after I reply to this:

King Burgundy posted:

Also, fwiw on PoS. Am I misremembering? Wasn't PoS like really an awesome player who was right about a lot of things in Shine Soldiers? I remember being really impressed and I could swear they even had opinions on potential scum even on D1. Not seeing that here.

From what I recall, I was pretty terrible at the mafia side of Shine but really good at the soldiers aspect. I was really close to figuring out a lot of the night combat stuff at certain points, but I was thrown off by there being two "queens" per side.

I'm definitely not a day 1 detective. Who was it that ruined it for team Texas day 1? Infinitum? Good times. :clint:

Me personally, I think theres enough to work with on this Day 1. People keep saying that there wasn't anything happening. I saw a lot of cases get presented, a lot of oddity.

Bminus doesn't seem like his town self. But also, at three hours to deadline, I don't see anyone coming in to defend him. If Bminus is scum, wheres the scum counter-push?

Are we committed to lynching a lurker today? Solus said earlier that he doesn't put any faith in the lurker gun. Maybe I haven't played enough games but, I don't see where he's coming from with that. Lurker gun has always worked for me (and at least once on me).

Someone care to explain why it's better to lynch? I look at it from the perspective that flipping a lurker won't give us any insight into what went down today, regardless of what team they're on.

To be honest, my top scum read would have to be you, King Burgundy, simply because you seem to be pushing hard down these avenues of reasoning that only make sense if you're coming at this case with a highly trained cop-hunting perspective.

Painting me as some kind of genius puppet master is precisely the tactic that was used by scum (lead by you, King Burgundy) to get me voted off.

I'm not an experienced interrogator [/player of, Mafia], but I can gain momentum as town even without a special role and that's dangerous to scum.

KhediveRex posted:

I don't believe the n0 cop claim. But I don't think the false claim was motivated by scummy intentions. It did start us out with something to actually discuss.

I think reactions to the cop claim are possibly important.

MMT - Thinks the claim could be real. In as much as Keane is paranoid and would return a scum verdict on anyone.

Toal - Thinks the claim could be real.

Max - Thinks the claim could be real.

Asiina - Doesn't believe the claim.

Rex - Doesn't believe the claim and rounds on Toal about it.

Hambeet - Doesn't believe the claim and rounds on Toal about it.

Birb- Doesn't believe the claim and rounds on Toal about it.

Hal- Doesn't believe the claim.

Bminus - Doesn't believe the claim and thinks Keane is suspicious for introducing it.

King Burgandy - Doesn't comment on the claim but steps in to defend Toal.

Tobbs - Doesn't comment on the claim but steps in to say that Keane played his role right by claiming, if that is his role.

Prince of Space - Doesn't comment on whether he believes the claim but pushes for discussion about how to handle it.

BottleKnight - Posts "Oh My God" in reference to the claim. Also posts that he was planning to question Toal about his response to the claim.

Solus - Minimal interaction with the claim except to offer Keane a few questions.

Kashuno - No interaction with the claim.

Keane - Initiates the claim. Does not vote on it and offers a lot of questions to the people who respond positively to it.

No Votes are placed on MMT for being the subject of the claim (Except Bottleknight's vote which existed before hand because MMT was pinging him)

No Votes are placed on Keane for initiating the claim.

It looks like 3 people think the claim could have merit. 6 people think the claim is not true. 6 people haven't expressed a strong opinion about the claim.

Out of everyone's reaction, I think I find BK's the most suspicious.


Seems like tacit acknowledgement of the validity of the claim. Followed by


In regards to Hambeet echoing of Birb's line of inquiry against Toal, another tacit believer of the claim.

Question Time:

BK, do you believe the claim? And how does it affect your conclusion to vote for MMT?

I believe that it happened, but I voted MMT because I didn't like her initial game posts. It's a weak case, as I believe pretty much all D1 cases are, and Keane's result doesn't really play into what I think of MMT.

This is... inaccurate. I would argue that commenting on Keane's n0 paranoid cop claim isn't particularly safe.

On the other hand, I know I can't read you, and I try to remind myself to default to "never trust max". So:

##vote Max

---

It is possible that you're just scum who's seen an opening on a meta case.

And that's, of course, the thing I always seem to harp on people for.

I'm still suspicious of you but I had thought you'd voted her. ##unvote

Solus votes Max for casing me, and then walks it back when he realized Max didn't vote for me.

SolusLunes posted:

As someone who always suspects Max I want to do a thing that flies in the face of 'don't defend someone else' again:

I don't have faith in freelynch lurker rules, and I imagine most people, including Max, don't either. I'm 100% down with lynching someone D1 for being a complete lurker, because freelynches never happening means that lurking is a safe place for scum to hide.

I don't think Max wanting to lynch Kashuno, a lurker, is a scum tell.

He then pokes holes in a case on Max without mentioning an opinion of his alignment, prompting me to ask Solus what he thinks of Max.

SolusLunes posted:

My opinion is that he's still scummy, but not for that specific reason.

Town Max seems to generally have more chill than this? I'm also suspicious that Max made me back down on voting him despite my initial gut reaction.

##vote Max

---

gently caress you know what I just re-read things and I don't know what the gently caress anymore

I'm getting more caffeine

##unvote

He clarifies that Max is scummy, but not for that reason, then votes him, then unvotes him.

Solus: if you thought Max was scummy, why were you talking about the things that you didn't think were scummy? And then if you don't think Max is scummy now, who do you think is?
