So what do you suggest be done about CCKeane and their n0 claim, Hal Incandenza?

Pursue their possibly-false claim / punish them for their possibly-false claim / ignore their claim entirely / ignore their claim but keep tabs on them?

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?

hambeet
Sep 13, 2002

hmm I don't feel kb is actually defending toal, though, so I've gone back again and I think it looks like hedging.

King Burgundy posted:

FWIW, the first time I read this, I was like, "whaaa? Toal didn't start it?"

And then after rereading the section in question a few times, I can see it now. But it definitely didn't read like that the first time through and if I was Toal, I can see thinking I didn't start it either.

so everyone's right? and kb doesn't have an opinion on the claim itself?

okay someone’s had a feed and I’ve had a read

  • BK voting MMT reads as genuine

  • The bplus1 vote on Tobbs and Tobbs voting BK look like joke votes with the option to turn into ‘real’ votes later.

  • The other votes read like jokephase. I am including MMT voting Max in this, i think I misread it earlier.

Tell me if I’m wrong.

Toal's reaction toward my claim was off, and seemed gear toward being "correct" instead of providing a meaningful read - scum knows MMT's alignment, and dismissing me out of hand as paranoid feds into this.

So my vote is on Toal ATM.

I'm a desk cop, I get One (1) investigation...n0. But! The flavor I got seemed to strongly imply I was paranoid so there's that.

Anyway MMT came up scum so do with that what you will.

Sure! I went with that mostly because I didn't want to slam someone outta nowhere. But Toal went pretty far with associated setup spec which seems like a wild reaction, instead of just ignoring it.

Setup spec, I specialize in it. Pod hates cops I think. Any chance he has to make an unreliable cop is probably legit. If you hadn't had brought up the paranoid flavour though I probably would vote MMT.

Do you think your role makes sense Keane?

"You're an unreliable cop and that sounds legit. Also, if you were a reliable cop, that would be legit too."

Toalpaz posted:

If you think the result is real just vote MMT and be done with it.

Which result? Keane's paranoid investigation? Why vote MMT for being flagged scum by a paranoid cop?

Or is the question here not whether keane is lying about n0 investigating someone, but rather whether keane is lying about having paranoid implications in his flavor? Why would he lie about that if his role was real?

But Also!

##vote Toal

This seems off to me. I think its ... kind of a stretch.

His major points seem to be

1) Toal was more interested in being right than providing clear reads.

2) Scum (Toal) knows MMT's alignment and establishing that Keane is paranoid helps scum in some way because of MMT's alignment.

As to the first point, Toal being defensive about something he prides himself on (setup spec) isn't outside the realm of the believable and doesn't necessarily make him scum. I think it's more likely to be a pride thing than a calculated move with a clearly defined agenda.

As to the second point, it doesn't really follow for me. I'm still attempting to make sense of it.

Scenario 1: Scum knows MMT is Town. It is helpful to establish Keane as paranoid because ... ??? ...

Scenario 2: Scum knows MMT is Scum. It is helpful to establish Keane as paranoid because it will result in MMT not being lynched because of Keane's cop result.

Scenario 2 is plausible but if that was the reasoning behind Keane's post, where is the indictment of MMT as scum? That's something worth sharing with the group.

In Summary

At the moment I don't think Toal is scum. Keane has risen a little bit in my suspicion but I also wouldn't be comfortable voting for him. My assumption at the moment is just that they are both town barrel rolling into each other.

There's the outlying possibility that they're both scum. That Toal was jumping on to defend Keane's claim and Keane used it as an opportunity to give him a hard time, possibly leading to a Toal lynch and town cred. I could see that a little easier than one or the other being scum. But it's still wildly unlikely.

At present, I'd still like to hear from BK - who was the man with the most odd reaction to Keane's claim. And, sort of in the realm of fuzzy feelings, I think both Asiina and bminus have been uncharacteristically quiet.
