Steak, why do you betray the union of sand? Join us in our shore of town unity and hunt the scum. Or is the true scum... within?

It’s always serious time here in quasi Victorian England. Fear not, for Dr. RF and I will find the scum who has absconded with the candy jewels.

Steaks posting chaotic as per usual, but I’ve been wrong about them four games in a row, so obviously I will concede to my betters for their steak-Dar. But not quite yet.

Sep 12, 2015

Well jokephase twilight was fun, but...

##vote Steak

Bifs posting so far is perfectly in line with how they act when they are town, and I dont see them as super frustrated so much as locking onto a possible target and not letting up, which she tends to do if she feels theres a lead.

Steak is acting chaotic as per usual, and would normally be a null vote but the early and more direct cuts of their hyperbole seems... not as performative laissez faire as his usual townie self, generally they are more scattershot and less ready to tango with an attcker this early, instead continuing to provoke at near random. Here though, they seem ready to lock horns with bif and lay out structured rhetoric.

more importantly, my gut is telling me this isnt bussing or a town slapfight, and of the two Im leaning on Steak for scum.

Im a tad sus that DGK is bussing Sandwolf, but that may just be a red herring. What say you to this Nurse?

do you have anything not meta to say?

This early Day 1 in a currently pure vanilla game when the only posts of major note for nearly 2 pages was seemingly a less performative gambit than usual?

Not really.

There are many post interactions flying around for us all to break down soon, sure, and I alluded to one of the more suspicious ones, but I think some early pressure is in order.

And he’s gone for the safer vote, which is to bring the two level, instead of making a clear shout to push Bif as vote leader. That’s quite nebulous, but it’s exactly what I would expect scum to do if Bif and Steak are (as I lean towards) both town...

It *is* the safe vote. and also the right one.

How on earth are you reading them as a town slapfight?

Scientastic posted:

I think Bif’s reaction to steak is fine, she seems perfectly normal to me, and I don’t understand why people think she’s overreacting or being performative. I feel like Bif and I have quite a similar play style, and she’s reacting in a way I think is townie.

Steak is playing exactly as he always does on D1, and while I personally find his approach somewhat annoying, I have to begrudgingly admit that I have come to respect it a little bit more having played a few games with him. Aggression is a good way to start, this is very much the Steak town game.

I think the people who are scum are the ones cheerleading the fight from the sidelines, hoping to get one of these players executed.

But steak isnt playing the same. You've played several with him, and I know you have a fairly good scumdar and a solid ability to read players.
Aggressive is his MO yes, but its usually more sporadic? This is significantly more focused and surgical.

In fact this reminds me of Steaks fight with Humalog in Food Crimes.

I could buy you feeling they are acting townish, but this most definitely is not their normal D1 post style as Town and I'm not sure why you're pretending it is?

Well, because I have been on the receiving end of a Steak D1 inquisition as and reacted exactly as Bif is doing, and I’ve seen Steak, as town, do exactly what he is doing now. I don’t think there’s an alignment call to be made on either, but I think there’s a vested interest for scum to push the dichotomy, which is exactly what you did.

I’ve seen this happen in multiple recent games, and the arguments have always been between two townies with gleeful scum rubbing their hands together on the sidelines. I’ve been scum and promoted and pushed those fights and made them worse, and I’ve been scum and artificially inflated the arguments and voted to keep them going. Again, exactly as you did.

see, heres the thing.

When I was scum in Horus, I made your *exact* argument based on the bif/Hambeet fight. I believe you and Amni immediately pounced on me for it, and you were right.

I said they seemed to be both town having a town fight, and scum was watching and egging on.

And I think you're trying to get away with something similar.

it wasn't omgus that led to my suspicion of you right now, its just the similarity of scum me and presumably your current scum play.

Sep 12, 2015

none of this changes the fact I currently still find steak more of a target rn, because if sci is scum then they are definitely trying to protect a scumbro,

and if sci is town, well then they are just wrong and I *still* think steak is scum.

I’m watching for steak reactions and they aren’t jumping at me the way I thought they would as scum.
Hmmmm. Still not convinced tho.

DGK is pinging me, I thought it was an initial Sand bus but Sand just not playing along well enough for me to see him as being complicit.

Steak/DGK and Sci, maybe AA but I’m not quite sure. No clue of their meta, but I’m getting some scummy vibes from their recent reactions to light pressure with that small vote.

Sep 12, 2015

... I mean...

Well.

drat, maybe steak is scum and we have 2 non town solids on D1? I’m still hard pressing the steak angle but I can’t argue with a 3p survivor lunch.

Though it sucks, and I’d rather lunch steak first before he gets a candy bar and kills us all, because a survivor can Technically help town it wouldn’t be my first choice...

3p is a solid lunch. Sorry bif

I am not scum this game sand.

I’m detective NavyGuy, and I will seduce the best deal for town.

sandnavyguy
Sep 12, 2015

New day, same reads, a 3p lunch doesn’t really help or hinder anything from the votes or the way it’s played out, except maybe some suspicion on early votes on bif pre-3p announcement.

Including, oh look, ##vote steak

Reasons the same as before D1 Lunch.

Also willing atm to switch to Sci or DGK, same as D1

PMush isn’t ringing alarm bells like they did post MorteM in the last game we played in hindsight, And is reading null to me. I’m not liking the three vote immediate combo post D2 opening

Sandwolf seems to be asking a lot of questions to multiple people, seems close to his town play.

AA is null-ish. I’ll reread.

Obama is a bit sus, just a gut feeling though

RF is kinda lurkingish? I dunno. I think my Watson might be rogue

STG seems null/town to me

I don’t see DB acting scummy the way y’all apparently do, null/town seemingly to me.

sandnavyguy
Sep 12, 2015

I cant believe We're letting Steak continue to live.

anyway, Pmush seems to be on a bit of a tear, but im not seeing it as scum, just frustrated town.

and I have yet to see a good case on DB.

sandnavyguy
Sep 12, 2015

I agree with Sandwolf that these DB votes are Sus, and am willing to switch to a DGK vote.

However, I think Steak got lucky before, and should still be the vote. stay strong PMush, Im like 80/20 on him, steak, being scum.

Yeah I think PMush is a more solid lunch than DB today.

Not sure what SNGs case on sci is other than the same spurious D1 meta crap

##vote PMush

My case *is* spurious D1 meta crap. but unlike steak usually sci is more surgical and well... verbose with their arguments, which I find odd here. Though He did just say he's distracted so that could explain it.

crap or no, Its enough to make me suspicious, about 2 levels below steak, and a level above DGK.

As for STG, they are definitely lurking, but as newbie scum I tended to want to be an active player, so I'm biased to think they are hesitant town.

I think a Pmush or a DB lunch is a mistake.

Pmush because they dont seem that scummy to me,

DB because the cases are crappier than mine on Sci.

Vote Steak for a better tomorrow. or DGK.

Sep 12, 2015

Hey you know what you call staying locked on a likely target that everyone suddenly decides is no longer viable because of someone randomly diming themselves out as 3p? Tunneling apparently.

Anyway, Youre wrong sci, start hunting down another path, or youll lead town to a mislunch.

Im sorry Im zeroed in on your scumbro.

Scientastic posted:

It’s tunnelling because you have no case, you’ve just decided you can get Steak executed.

Please lay it out for me, because if you really think Steak is scum, you should be trying to persuade other people of your point of view: I am agog to hear what you have to say, because at the moment it just looks like “he posted weird on D1, but not weird like normal, weird like something else, and that something else is scummy”, which is very much not a persuasive case.

I made my case, you just don’t like it. Fair enough, but I do.

And I have tried persuading, but no one apparently wishes to discuss it now and have moved on. Which is why I posted those “lacking content thin posts”, you know, so that people can see my position on them? Which for the most part is meh? I already have my three solid guesses. You and steak are two of them, then DGK behind that.

Until we get some night action bingo I feel we are spinning our wheels as if it were a quasi day 1, and then we can all bring up new takes.

To clarify, Cena, all the candy for both Town and scum comes from the same random pool, correct? as in, say, Town could get ninja and Scum could get cop?

So we have several posters seriously avoiding putting a vote down on PMush or just pretending it’s not happening including DB who decides to come in near the end and vote for SNG who was -7 ffs. RF then starts spouting a load of rubbish about PMush’s fake claim that makes little to no sense and feels almost like a badly thought out scum play to try and frame steak yet again.

SNG pushed back so hard yesterday against a PMush lunch that I can’t actually see it as a scum buddy defence as no scum in their right mind would stick their neck out so much when PMush was getting so much heat.

I think my initial suspicions of DB were correct though I’d happily vote RF at this point too

##vote DB

No yeah, I just completely misread PMush, to their credit however, she operated very different from her 3p scummy game in Among us so I was fooled.
