I can't remember a single game where I took a joke comment like that as a scum tell, let alone doing it time and time again.

THAT SAID, if you're just trying to kickstart the game, it's not a bad early d1 prod.

It could be role related or he could just legitimately want to join the main discord, so it wasn't enough for me to vote earlier, but coupled with this it is

It's unrelated to the game. I left the general mafia discord after getting overmad at Fisk's game two games ago.

Amoeba102 posted:

I'm talking about air tight reasoning, not air tight cases.

Opop seeing merk doing something in the past and then not doing it now isn't enough. Did merk ALWAYS do it? Did he ever do it as scum? Is there maybe the fact merk might have taken a break from playing mafia that might have changed his playstyle?

Opop trying to make that point is lazy and relying onan old merketa - that wasn't even true - of him being some sort or robot mafia player. Fisk goin g with it is equally lazy but a little bit worse.

This is odd. How are you sure it's not true of my meta? I can't recall doing it (it seems more like a Lumpen thing to do). However, calling it 'lazy' sI think is a stretch. You aren't thinking about the intent behind what Opo is doing and taking into context that we are so early in d1.

Moreover, I'm not even sure whether you're calling Opo or Fisk scum here. You're just kind of half lashing out at them while defending me without actually telling me what you think about alignment.

How is not your meta? You aren't that good. Some sort of mafia messiah. People like to pretend you are, and either hide behind an authority they give you, or point to something that doesn't fit an idea of you being perfect and claim it is a scum tell.
Bringing up needinbg discord is a other tongue in cheek means of going hey merk is scum because he needs to chat oot, and it's really an underhanded way of pointing out suspicion. So that guy that did that after opop is suss too. Opop is as well, i misread him bringing it up at first.

Yeah, that thing you quoted was prompted by you asking and not something just out of the blue - you missed a few quotes in that exchange.
It's all about Opop trying to make a vote on you based off of "merk wouod not do that or play differently" and "hmm why would merk need discord wink wink nudge nudge".

Yes, I understand what happened. How does this comment from you relate to that (intentionally snipped):

Amoeba, are you seeing what I'm saying here? I'm saying that you didn't start attacking me as being 'not that good' until I decided to vote you. I'm saying that is you discrediting my vote rather than commenting on what Opo did.

So yeah I think infinitum is at minimum lying about one or more of 1) not knowing what the items do, 2) not knowing which item went to who, 3) being asked to distribute the items on night 0, and/or 4) having no further interaction with the items once distributed.

Yes. This is where I'm at too, and I think it is likely item 1). I will even ##vote Infi

On a fresh mind this morning, I'm not sure of the case on Amoeba and may not even go back to him today. I think he may just actually dislike me and his posts read that way, even the one defending me.

Hal Incandenza posted:

Maybe you said this somewhere then but I guess are you thinking infi had this whole plan to set up fool or how do you account for the missing item?

That's a good point. My position is that his intent behind it is to gain town credibility. However, that gets thrown out the window if he's setting up fool for a d1 lynch and fool flips town. If fool flips scum and Infi is scum, that seems like a pretty bad strategy to bus a scum buddy.

##unvote - let me think more.

##vote fool of sound I’ve cooled on solus and agree with Fisk that fool’s response reads as scrambling. There’s no way there’s some kind of n0 bus driver, so I feel pretty confident in saying one of fool or infi is lying, and between the two fool comes off much worse.

##vote Jon Joe

1. Forced dichotomy of who to lynch.
2. Your vote piggybacks onto Fisk to lessen your culpability if fool flips town.
3. The real crux of your vote is setup speculation which lessens your culpability if fool flips town (eh, I guess maybe there IS a busdriver!) or implicates Infi instead of you (now Infi must be lying!!).
4. It looks like you purposely got into a slapfight which didn't advance scum hunting.
5. The rest of your content is 'meh'.
