I'm kind of surprised Amoeba got NK'ed, his argument with Squiggly on the last page was the start of the momentum against him and I was mentally preparing a case on him. Hmm.

The other thing arousing my suspicions is the Biaga/Obama tandem. They voted within 2 minutes of each other and made a bunch of posts in quick succession painting a target on his back. Those were votes 3 and 4, others including me piled on the bandwagon, and that was that. Biaga in particular was coming on a little strong there.

I disagree with Sqiggly's sus on amoeba for the reason of amoeba "not wanting to tie a vote down" in jest or otherwise, and find it odd that Squiggly didn't put down a serious vote on amoeba (assuming Sqiggly is serious about the sus as alluded to by the statement about killing joke phase). I think ##vote Squiggly is valid as much as a light case could argue on such a slow D1.

Italics mine. You were vote #5 on Squiggs, just before me.

The difference is I thought squiggly could be scum for making contradictory statements (their reason for sus on amoeba being incongruent with their own play, specifically not voting someone they just sussed in a serious way.)

You literally said Squiggly could be town but who cares because they are annoying. That is empirically anti-town behavior.

I don't think what you said and what I said are all that different. They're both effectively "I publicly acknowledge it's a weak case, but I'm hopping on this bandwagon anyway LOL".

Besides you also doing the thing you're accusing me of, it's specious reasoning anyway. It's impossible to have a firm logical case against anybody on D1. Whether it's said out loud or not, every D1 vote carries an assumption of "yeah it's flimsy justification, and balance of probabilities is that I'm railroading an innocent townie, buuuuut..."

The difference between you and me is that you came blazing out of the gate after me on D2, using this as your primary argument.

You've been attacking me all day, yet you've never made your own case against me - you piggybacked on DB's, just quoted his post without adding anything.

You've attacked other posters for pointing out that I might be town:

I agree with Zyzzx’s post about Biaga’s statement but I can’t help but feel like it’s trying to divert attention to Biaga specifically from Ceyton.

I am weary of possible scum warming up to me because I tend to be susceptible to that sometimes.

So I do feel a little better about Ceyton after that however ##unvote

I have personally been on at least four scum teams recently where we made at LEAST one (1) NK decision based on who was saying bad things we didn’t like during the day. I don’t know why amoeba was killed but DB looking into amoebas suspicions is as townie as it gets.

Ceyton and Obama appear to be on the same team though.

Sandwolf posted:

seems desperate to paint DB in a negative light, but I don't think DB has done anything scummy, and it FEELS a lot like they thought DB would be an easy lunch after yesterday and they're trying to hammer home how DB is scummy here and wow obviously everyone should vote there

(along with Ceyton:)


Ceyton why don't you explain why you think I'm scum. Bonus points if you don't use DB's name once.

That's in addition to piggybacking DB's case against me, and pushing it harder and with more aggressive tactics than DB ever did.

It appears to be a very one-sided relationship though. DB hardly ever mentions Sandwolf in his posts.

Why hitch your wagon so strongly to DB, Wolfie? You afraid of expressing any thoughts of your own? Maybe your plan was to sic the mob on me, then on D3 you could say "Hey don't blame me guys, DB persuaded me. LET'S GET HIM, FELLAS!"

I only ever had a case against Dick because he was (hypocritically) attacking me for my D1 vote. Since he unvoted me, I figured I'd return the détente.

Hal Incandenza posted:

It’s definitely some weird logic to unvote DB and then continue to push Sandwolf for supposedly defending his scum buddy DB

Yesterday I thought Dick and Sandwolf were scum buddies... but after re-reading Dick's posts, his case against me was never very strong and he never pushed it very hard. Sandwolf did.

The theory I'm working with now is that scum's plan for D2 was to get either me or Dick launched, and set up the other to be the patsy on D3. But Sandwolf botched it by coming on too strong.

Fair, but I am not totally clear on the Sandwolf case. Is it just that he hopped onto DBs case against you and was defending DB? I feel like Sandwolf thus far has been poking around and seeing what is up in a fairly townie way

He literally just emptyquoted Dick's case and started laying into me. He didn't give his own thoughts as to why he believed it was worth pursuing over the other D1 bandwagon voters, nor did he seem to notice or care about Dick's hypocrisy in going after me. IMO this is a responsibility-dodging tactic and is inherently scummy.

He's also been casting suspicions on several different posters for defending me, or for questioning Dick. I don't think town benefits from chilling effects.

As for the defending - it's a matter of degrees, and he's been doing it a lot. Why would a townie be so invested in taking up the mantle for another poster? If Sandwolf is town, he can't know whether Dick is town (unless he's another cop or they're masons, etc., but that's very unlikely). Why not just let Dick defend himself?

Look, here is my input on the matter, and it hasn’t changed.

They Day 1 mislunched was likely a scum rush, a great opportunity to get rid of a townie early in a very low engagement game.

Doesn't a launch on D1 usually favor town in the long run, though? And by extension, scum would want a no-launch?

quote:

Of the votes, the last, second to last, and third to last should be highly scrutinized if it was in fact a scum rush, as these are the best points tactically to enforce a hammer. Most attention on the second to last, as the last vote could very well be a swayed townie.

Why can't N-1 (or -2 or -3) be swayed townies, as well? Especially when it's 7 to hammer, the bandwagon is in full effect by then.

quote:

The last vote was Pmush, and I don’t think it was scummy, just a mistake: I base this on the relative low engagement and the fact that if you didn’t look closely there were several votes in succession that could have hid the fact it was -1.

The second to last is Ceyton, and a solid pick on those grounds alone, further by the hoops others have gone to such as zz to shift blame. this is my pick based purely on the strategy of a scum rush, and barring some actual conversation into another gambit that could have feasibly been played, is where my vote will firmly stay.

Third to last was DB, who has been the target of scrutiny, sure, followed by a slew of invites? Is this bussing? Is this town just confused? I don’t know but maybe we’ll find out. They are my pick tomorrow, barring anything of note happening N2 or the rest of today.

Sorry for the lack of posting, It’s been very hectic IRL rn. Hopefully that should be done now though.

You don't think DB immediately casing me on D2 makes him more suspicious than me?

Oh no, it’s a possibility everyone lunching could have been a townie, I’m not arguing it has to be my way, it’s just I think if scum is playing well then it’s unlikely.

I’m saying it’s far more likely, on a day with low engagement and no night bingo, for scum to decide to make a play to rush someone early, throwing things into disarray when there is a lowered chance of discussion catching it because the temperature of the thread is more lurky.

Bandwagon effect is much more effective near DL, not for an early lunch. Unless you have some fair evidence, people won’t want to just hammer so early, much as everyone is doing today by inviting because fear of leading to another rush.

Yeah, I guess you're right. D1 launch would favor scum if they could keep a lid on the amount of information coming out of it. Thanks~

I still disagree with your choice of me over DB though. He called me "empirically anti-town" and my vote "at least an order of magnitude worse" than his, when we did both did exactly the same drat thing.

I'm pretty sure Zzyzx and Obama are town, they both correctly read DB's play, suspected him early on, and stuck to their guns.

Quite a few people hedged their bets between me and DB, and I get that. But given DB's flip I think anyone who strongly suspected me while downplaying DB (lookin' at you Sandwolf and Biaga) is suspicious.

I've got mixed feelings on PMush, need to think about it some more. Definitely not my #1 suspect right now though.

I'm neutral on Cena, he was definitely going to lengths to not commit to DB, but he was also casting suspicions on DB's push while it still had momentum. He seems to feel much stronger about PMush, and I'm not sure what to make of that yet.

Today's a little tougher now that no one is pushing an obvious bullshit case against me.

My Sandwolf case got no serious takers on D2, and even after DB flipped it's only getting lukewarm support from a couple of people on D3... I'd think stanning scum that hard would be a bit suspicious, but none of the vets seem to think so. Think I'll drop this one.

I'm pretty confused by the Cena/PMush situation. I'm getting a mix of town and scum pings off both of them, and on balance I don't have any strong feelings. That D1 hammer is bothering me a bit though. The decision that it was an innocent mistake was so quick and unanimous that I think it was anticipatable. Does anyone else think so, or am I just being :tinfoil: here?

As town, I think they're both doing a pretty bad job by not posting much at all, and posting even less in the way of useful content.

Biaga at least had an argument with Obama over whose D1 vote was scummier, and made a few posts justifying why he suspected me. He did change his vote to DB in the end though, and something I noticed is that his vote confirmed that there would be a hammer (at that point SNG had voted/unvoted and announced he would hammer, Cena was an unknown factor, and who knows WTF Hal was doing). Without his vote there was still the possibility of an NL.

Hal clearly favored voting me over DB, but then suddenly swerved and threw down a completely pointless and unjustified vote for SNG. I'm having trouble coming up with an angle on that, other than deliberately trying to be as unhelpful as possible.
