eh ya dingus, frustration with the game isn't just based on how long the game has gone, it's how frustrating the exchanges you're in are.

The exchange between you and merk felt tepid, I just have a hard time believing it.

I would switch to Hal though. Do you have any thoughts on his steak vote as I outlined earlier?

I wanted to jump on you for this, because Toal is sorta right, just throwing out five names doesn't actually say much. However you also say that your reasoning is because they think your scummy but can't back it up, which is fair I guess. I don't get why you're behind SO combative though.

So like half the usernames here, I recognize and think I might have played with before, and the other half, I have no clue. So it was a legit question.

Missed this responding to mmm. I asked just because the fool newbie thing was brought up several times today so it seemed weird you missed it.

Mr Steak who is scum and why?

I haven't unvoted because I'm still okay with my vote on Merk, but besides that I'm not sure. I definitely think Hal's been acting super weird, hence why I said he's on my radar. Same with Sal just because he's the only one here who I've played with enough to have gut feelings about, and he seems slightly off. neither of those are enough to even start casing them though. Sorry that I revealed who I've got my eye on. I never intended for that to be a case or convincing anyone to vote for them. Toal has been crazy scummy but in my limited experience they always act that way, but I've still got one eye on them. Hum I actually almost didn't include because he's been mostly reasonable, I'm just paying attention for any possible slips.

This is a work in progress as I'm catching up, but...

1. Holy poo poo, why so many posts... I'm sure an eXpert is going to be like,'huh-ho, look at AA! Only a scum would complain about post quantity', but mock my words... that player will be scum.

OK, let's start off light...

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

Strange... I got my PM, and I can't direct quote, but it pretty much says I'm the best and that I win. Weird...
This is a solid post. It demonstrates strong town motivation, and I believe every word of it.

CCKeane posted:

Thank you all for gathering around me.

The secret...is that I ate beans for dinner.

Could this be a stump gimmick or something more. In flavor, his character is incapacitated, and this is first mention of 'Farts'

This pings me as a possible fake content game. I enjoy doing them as scum, that's for certain.

Keane, considering we can’t kill you, do you have a win condition?

Somberbrero posted:

Not trying to rile you up, but why even go down that rabbit hole this early on? If Keane has anything to hide, he's not going to share it with us.
Somber's "non-riling" commentary serves what purpose here?
Class, is it a joking comment? No. No...

Is it meant to be a critique of fisk? Yes... well, Somber says that they aren't trying to rile up fisk... Hmm... seems conflicted.

The point I'm getting at is... why even ask this question if you aren't seeking some type of reaction. That's :thunk: worthy imo.

spacing in vienna posted:

I don't remember the specs for avatar size and am too lazy to look them up, or else I might.


##vote Fisk for being a cocktease
Joke vote, but kind of strange I guess? Since SiV is being looked at last I saw, might as well remark that I give this post a raised eyebrow look every time I pass it, but don't dig too deep into it.

Toalpaz posted:

If I had a win condition as a stump I would lie about it.
This stood out to me. My toalsense tells me that it's just an honest remark, but part of me... the part that says "this stands out" fears deeper, more sinister implications... TBD

Seems strange to me. It is a bit weird no, a stump from the start of the game. I'm suspicious of Keane. Keane is probably some type of heretical stump that becomes a serial killer or some stupid poo poo on some night coming up.

I always think Hal is scum though. Just seems like a weird thing to take the high ground on.

Is this:
A) A town player offering up their life because they don't give a gently caress
B) A scum player throwing themselves at taste's feet because they know most players won't vig the player who asks
C) Somebody with a bulletproof role being cheeky
D) What Ninth should say every day until somebody takes mercy on the rest of us
The post that started up merk's engine. His, "hello town, I'm obviously a scum this game." engine.
MMM asserts Hum volunteering to be vigged is weird with their multiple choice noncommittal read.

merk calls this out, but some how, some how... they both feel disingenuous, something I called out earlier and upon re-read still feel strongly about. Looks like a faux-fight.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:

I'm beginning to assume merk has recently sustained a nasty head injury, which is why he's having trouble making good arguments or reading posts more than one sentence long.

This does feel genuine though. Like MMM finally realized that merk wasn't just being obstinate, but was being outright weird.

merk somb scum team?

MMM Whatchya Say posted:

Alright this is getting useless, I think everybody has gotten all they needed from that exchange.
Yeah, I got a town read on Imogen here.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:

merk i told you about fool and sound
Excepppptttt... FoS had a good point on merk I feel. merk tried to pull that quick witted rebuttal, but it's a presumptuous one...

merk posted:

Do you actually believe two joke votes made by two very active posters are going to fester there until deadline?
One, it suggests that there is an objective flaw in the way FoS has made their case against merk.

Do you actually believe - pointless incredulity aimed at too many subjective factors. If any of those poo poo votes belong to fellow scum, then yeah... it would be easy and excusable for a high volume poster to suddenly get engaged in the weekend or "whoops" and miss deadline. It's not above suspicion, and you tried to defuse my suspicion of you as scum in this same manner in Somber's game that just concluded.

We are distancing. Vote him first though please.
Why even play at the idea?
