I don't trust AA because he is a sleazy degenerate. That's alignment-neutral, pet.

Besides, you cited a "number of scummy posts" on this page, but didn't bother to provide details on who or how. Except, apparently, me for noticing? Tsk, tsk.

Bad because we were voting you, or do you have an actual reason?

Also you say "good thing mods recognized deadline" as though we were trying to break it. Nobody voted at 3 minutes past and tried to insist it should count. I think we all knew a NL was coming at that point.

Btw why weren't you on at deadline? Same question, CPig. It actually makes me more suspicious of you, that we didn't get lurkers popping out of the woodwork to go for the dunk.

Easy, I forgot about deadline and was cooking dinner.

Miku and OMG: welcome back from probationland.

I think "WOO SHOOT SOMEBODY" on D1 is as much a townie phenomena as a scum one. Dayvigs can't ever keep it in their pants, and town shooting town d1 is unfortunate but also -- honestly -- hilarious.

Also in re: me this is only my second game back after a few years away, and last game I got lynched d2, so I'm not back in the groove yet.

(We're on SA, I don't think any of us can claim to have "lives" ... )

I get it, and it's entirely possible either or both of you just missed deadline, but I feel like it's also really convenient that so many people just faded out at the end of d1. Town and scum alike can have lives, or can space out on the deadline, but scum might also be watching and decide not to show up in an attempt to deflect heat and/or not vote for a scumbro, so I feel like it's worth poking at a little.

I straight up forgot that you weren't. drat, neither was b-minus. You at least had a vote down, and b- had that vote on me that got switched around. Why weren't you on?

No wonder we no-lynched. Two players were on probation, Infi's work got crazy, and four others on top of that weren't around. We never had the numbers.

Hey AA, what changed between these two posts?

You did a 180 on Mush. Why?

well, I said that she looked good with her vote. Like the logic behind it made sense from a town perspective, but the :tinfoil:

in me trusts that type of play from mush to be scum play.

I'm busy dying a whole bunch in this Dark Souls mod, but I did a quick skim after it crashed, and here's where I'm at so far. AA's behavior after returning is not making me feel the least bit better about him. If deadline was tonight, I'd park my vote there and refuse to move it.

##vote AA

As-is, I'm parking it there for now but open to other options. I wish I could remember where, but there's an itching in the back of my head that says "lurking CPig is scummy". Don't wanna rely on half-remembered meta reads, but something about him seems present-but-unengaged, which is never a great sign. I don't like b- right now, either, 'wait for someone else to generate content then follow up on it' is sus, but that might just me being a bitch. Miku I like as town for being the first one to make a serious hardcore content push and for saying nice things about me. Everyone else is a null read right now.

lmao, didn't even see this... hmm :thunk:

spacing in vienna posted:

gently caress it. I'm doing a list. At least maybe then we'll have something to talk about?! Miku's seemed to stir discussion, let's try it.

AA: super defensive reaction to the votes on him d1. I still think it's significant that the push on him just dried up. Also, his posts today largely consist of him suspecting .... anyone who voted him d1. Scum.

B-minus1: I waver pretty hard here, mostly because I don't see why scum would do vote shenanigans. Also, mobile posting sucks, but b- keeps popping up and disappearing again. It all cancels out, so: Null.

CPig: I sympathize with not being able to get into the game, but it's a great cover for scum to just lurk their way to victory, so. Leaning scum. Would like more actual content.

Gene X: good content both days. steak's case on GX is convoluted and I don't buy it. Miku's makes sense, but townies do anti-town poo poo all the time. I honestly feel like town would be more likely to cheer a dayvig, because scum would worry about looking bad in doing so, whereas town doesn't have to view the world through that lens?? But I realize that might be spaghetti logic. Town.

Hal: hands up, who forgot Hal was in this game? At least he showed up d1 to try to get a lynch. Hoping he resurfaces again tonight. I don't like the lurking but I think Hal just lurks. He seemed invested in d1 EOD, so: Leaning town.

Infi: RIP infi

Miku: I don't agree with all of his conclusions, but his reasoning seems sound. Plus he showed up D2 and actually contributed, when it would have been way easier to just lurk and claim it was too hard to get into the game because of being probated. Town.

Humalong: k I'm biased here, I love all the RPing but hum's is the one that tickles me the most, so that's making me lean town on him. Biased town. I'll reread him and see if anything jumps out.

Mr. Steak: I got nothing. His logic seems sideways. No idea if that makes him scum. I could buy it? Idefk.
???? Leaning scum??

OMG: I thought dropping a vote before disappearing d1 was townie, but hasn't said much of anything D2. I don't get fake outrage from his first post, though. Leaning very very slightly town. I see he's posted while I'm posting so please hold, I might update this.

Pmush: actually contributing, scum hunting. Town.

Tomm: lurking, like everyone else. Slight town vibes from where he questioned me on not being included in my "why weren't you around at deadline?" -- I feel like scum would be more likely to hope that slid under the radar. Leaning town.

Let me catch up now and see what's what.

##vote AA

First, this is a flawed point you raise against my voting. Probably deliberately so.

In my absence I became the target of a quick vote near deadline for non-existent reasons, and then people like yourself have come in today to try and frame my reaction to it without digging into the context of the votes.

As a town player, it's in my best interest to divert some attention to the votes that almost got me killed. I also commented on specific votes that looked bad.

It is reasonable to say that scum would be in a push for a misslunch and I don't think looking at bad votes from yesterday is indicative of scum motive. Ignoring those and acting like I've been a way emotional big bad is indicative of scum motive.

You're being unreasonable with you're vote and have been aggro since the start.

also Tommunist had scum reads on AA and steak and got murked. i forget, does the mafia hivemind consider that kind of thing alignment neutral or not?

only a coward scum kills their persecutors. I've transcended that stage of scum play, tyvm.

but look, I'm not scum... scum probably has a hard lurker or lurking town is the MVP we've needed because they've failed to dunk me across two game days and active scum would be all over securing the misslunch unless all of them were, and a non-present town has saved me.

I think it's more likely some of the scum pushed and one or two are dead rear end lurkers because of life, being a scrub or some other poo poo.

ANYHOW, I'm not the scum so if we could not have a repeat of the last two game days and actually look at players offering some poo poo reasonings to things.... well.

Can you expound upon feeling okay about it? I mean players generally felt okay about it for two game days, but does anyone have something better than feeling okay at this point because it seems like people are just looking for easy outs.

I'm really not sure exactly what to make of this. These are a sequence of posts dropped within minutes of one another, and are part of an ongoing series of posts waffling on PMush's alignment. While I'm all for it, you haven't really had much to say about other players that are not currently voting you. I don't really get into players' metas, and I certainly don't know yours, but: is there a reason you continue to be reactive instead of proactive?

More to the point: you continue to only respond/react to other players' accusations of you, rather than yourself being critical of them. Again, I don't particular care for 'meta' reads but you see new/inexperienced - which isn't in itself telling of your alignment - but the fact that you only react (sometimes overreact) doesn't exactly cast you in favorable light.

Ok, at least you are trying to get active. What about their votes irk you? And further: do you believe that they are both scum, or that one is scum independent of one another? I know I voiced my own read on b-minus yesterday as feeling particularly town, so I'd just like some insight into what in particular has you raising your eyebrow.

Far from new, I just shoot from the hip.

Also, it's hard to provide a critical analysis of the votes or any play when there hasn't been any. Apathy has dictated the last two game days. I'm not irked by votes, it's just clear that effort isn't being made.

So like I said of SiV, you're faulting me for the only reasonable course of action given what we have.

Are there results to analyze? No.
Are players offering anything new? No.

So if I keep arguing the same thing, it seems like omgus or me not trying or being overly defensive, when in reality... logic would dictate that I as town should try to draw attention to what I found lacking or outright bad play.

This is what I've done, and you and others are framing it as, AA has had a fake emotional reaction and isn't contributing anything towards it. Which is false, I said what I had to say about it, town has chosen to take a path of apathy, and that I can't help them deviate from.

YOu may argue, "be more compelling", but that type of reductive simplicity isn't viable, and is unreasonable to demand.

I stand by what I've said, don't look it at in a vacuum. Understand the context.

I've done a quick once-over of your [admittedly few] posts and you seem to go back and forth between something resembling content and being a non-contributory jokester. I gave you a pass D1 because some of your interactions with b-minus felt pretty genuine, but your D2 posting is... lackluster. I don't think it's necessarily indicative of alignment but hoo-boy we're in for a wild ride if players continue to be this apathetic.

I wasn't around for most of d2, look at time stamps.

Not that it makes any better, but again you're looking in a vacuum instead of contextually.

I'll agree that it is lackluster, but that's because I wasn't around and there was nothing to build off of?

What did we learn from N1 other than a town player died?
