Scientastic, of the players in the game, who would you:
- Doc

- Vig?

Tommu, same question to you.

Im going to be honest this game is a blur of bad mafia posters from the last ice age and IS and you all blur into one in my head so I'll be perfectly honest and say I would vig everyone and then vig myself.

What did Textbook think of the fact I immediately retracted? Don’t know, no comment

What did Textbook think when Somber voted for the brand new player? Don’t know, no comment

What did Textbook think when he was called out by name? Holy poo poo, I’m not lurking, what the gently caress dude, there’s just been nothing to comment on, but I am definitely checking the thread for mentions of my own name, that counts as playing, right?

This is a good post tho the way Scientastic is trying to portray how I voted is disengenious and boring.

Thread's been dead all goddamn day, this is hilarious.

The "cases" were all weak and forced, because this is day one. I didn't think there were any cases worth making, yet. I do not agree that there was plenty to comment on. Plenty to take note of for later, but nothing substantial enough for a case.

(I got called out my last game for checking when people were active on the forums and just not posting in the game thread. I'm not doing that anymore, but I'm still almost always hoping someone else will :justpost: in my followed threads. There's nothing else to do, what with the everything. So it's... not hard to respond when I see "oh, a new post!" What the gently caress? Look at the posting times between you two, wow, doesn't that look coordinated??? Pff)

This feels like a very defensive dramatic response to light pressure. This dude at this point still isn't hunting scum and the points made against him seem valid if easy to push past.

Honestly I read Scientastic's initial post as very light pressure to get a response. It's a valid if cynical way to build a day one and I love it like I love a vb at 7:45 in the morning.

Following points.

1) textbook blows up at Scientastic. Derails game. Feels scum because its very reactive and non scum hunty.

2) is really weirdly fixated on lurkers.

3) none of this leads to a town read on him

"Wait, what? Why do you think Tommu's playing it safe?"

I think he was content to put me under the hammer and go to sleep and that if I hadn't said anything -- if I hadn't been volatile and defensive and wanting him to pay attention -- we'd be in nap time right now, weaker for it.

If you hadn't been defensive and wilded out on the thread half the game may not think your scummy yes.

I think you're wrong. I've gone back and forth on you but scientastic was correct to push you as a candidate. Your reaction was disproportionate, which means you're either just a volatile/nervous town player as Roy said, or you're nervous scum. Town players have a responsibility to scum hunt and that's what scientastic did.
