I don't see any difference between them and his earlier posts. He seems like a Townie who lost interest in the game on D2 when he decided he was for sure getting lunched, except then he wasn't and now he can't motivate himself to get back on the horse.

Dude reading this was EERY because this is *precisely* how I feel but I’m trying to engage because I’m a poo poo townie if y’all kept me alive only for me to sorta drift around.

Because of this, I think we should lunch flerp today. His posting this game has been very snipe-y, very drive-by like, very forgettable. He’s also been pushing for me since I claimed but like someone mentioned seems to have NO conviction behind it other than “this is a safe opinion to hold.”

Ehhh alright, I felt that was weird but I'm not gonna push on it.

I'll ##vote flerp for now since I still feel weird about them and continue to feel weird about their constant driveby and only showing up when Ic case them, even poorly.

this literally happened one time in this game because it just so happened that i woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt fall asleep so i decided to check the thread, which also seems like the case where everyone gets active in this game while im asleep since i just woke up to like 20+ posts while the game was p quiet throughout the day

and again, youre just working backwards from the conclusion of flerp scum

What I mean is that the Mona/Infi argument seems like a Town slapfight to me. Mona's thoughts seem incoherent but also like he believes what he's saying. IMO sincere gibberish is harder to fake than insincere logic.

Having re-read both of them, I think I'd rather vote flerp than slord.

(1) Questionable call-out of Grandi very early in the game. Grandi hadn't voted anyone yet but he had been commenting on cases and it was still early enough to be entirely reasonable for him not to have reads of his own yet.

not at all what i was doing, i voted him because he was very active doing theory gametalk, but when it got to scum hunt time, he was absent. i didnt rly think he was scum, but i wanted to put some pressure on him so he would post and get him to post on who he thought was scum

quote:

(2) Seemed a bit self-conscious about unvoting. Also had hopped on and off Squiggly very quickly earlier in D1.

i dont rly know how this is self-conscious and i said what i thought squiggly d1, thought his posting was fake involvement early on in d1, but then his later posts felt substantial and genuine later on in d1.

quote:

(3) Made his only effort post for most of the game in order to vote Sandwolf and has subsequently claimed to still have this opinion of Sand's alignment, but hasn't pushed very hard for it or tried to establish other reads despite the fact that there are still a dozen players and probably 4 Scum in the game.

i dont like to theory craft around who the entire scum team is because im incredibly dumb and never right, so i rather stay focused on one person vs trying to peg everyone all at the same time. im not a mafia superstar. i think wolf is scum, i know there are other scums around, but i could also be wrong, and id rather (ideally) get my lunch, see wolf flip scum, and then use that info to then try to peg new scum. thats just how i play

quote:

(4) Finally makes a second effort post, but only once his name's being mentioned as possible Scum.

bro can i just post w/o it being every time "flerp is posting because someone talked about him!!!!" like man this is so stupid and you dont even engage w/ my idea u just say "well, he made an effort post because he had to" like gently caress off bro. hell, this isnt even ACCURATE because i made a post 3 minutes after u talked about me a bit. the only other post that might possibly mention me being scum is wolf vague posting about "hrm maybe we should lunch a lurker" and then i (ME!!!!) made a post about how that's a setup for him to vote me but i asked him about who he meant by that. like, the two people who mentioned me being scum d3 was you in vague, uncertain terms and then MYSELF, and then my post about mona came later passed that. the idea that this post was born out of some need to fake engagement because pressure was on me is not founded on what actually happened in this game.

Okay, Jen's post count is higher than many, but contributions are low.

When they became a viable target for the cuddle yesterday, suddenly activity dropped.

Nightkill was one of the predominant town voices leading the thread, towards a Jen cuddle.

It's not that one specific point I'm talking about. That's one of the few things you've said that I follow. But you do these bursts of manic short posts that all refer back to other things you've said as if everyone's keeping track of what you think about everything, in a game that still has 11 other people in it... despite interacting with you a lot I find it hard to remember what it is you believe because you're jumping around a lot. Not flip-flopping on issues but moving from one to another and back.

Which gives me the sense of a worked-up Townie since if Scum are going to say anything at all, they're going to make an effort to make sure their "thought" process makes sense and that everyone can follow it so they don't have to answer a lot of follow-up questions.

Yeah interesting i thought someone had accused me of stealing spells, I can’t steal spells, I can just block anyone from drawing them. So it sounds like maybe someone targeted Mona for a spell steal.

Is this the scum slip? I'm not seeing what you are saying happened mona.

If I seem manic it's because I've legit given up on this game in some form and am just posting whatever comes to mind in the moment because it seems like literally everyone has decided to tune me out or keeps talking about how loving incomprehensible i am

I had an entirely solid defense of why infinitum's case on me was stupid horseshit and I'm still getting the incoherency treatment, I WONDER WHY I FEEL LIKE NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME
