The court recognizes a proper tribunal has been called. There were 10 esteemed players alive at the time of the tribunal. 7 are required to dispense justice.

Yeah I get that, except we're in a spot where we have to be incredibly careful. You took a tool that we could have used to execute a town consensus choice without the ability for scum to kill and monopolized it without talking about it first.

I am incredibly creeped out by that move.

There is no deadline for the gavel for what it's worth.

You have to post a ##Activate Lurker Gavel command for it to count.

The gavel requires seven players to activate it. What the hell are you worried about? This concern is really fake.

You're playing dumb.

You took the conversation from "who should we use merk's gavel on?" to "should we activate the gavel on sng?" and it's incredibly scummy that you're not acknowledging that.

I picked the player that I think is the scummiest out of the available gavel targets.

Instead of attacking the action, why not look at SNG? If you do not want to do that, why not figure out if I'm scum? Right now, you're just tossing out what looks like a fake concern with no analysis about what it means regarding alignment.

Uhhh no I'm responding to the thing you did.

I haven't looked at sng because you did this thing 5 seconds ago. I will of course look at sng but this whole thing is tainted for me now.

If you are accusing me of virtue signaling that I wouldn't have used it in this way (I wouldn't have) you are implicitly acknowledging that you've used it in a scummy way. Otherwise, what is there to signal?

I did not use it in a scummy way. I gave myself the most agency to eliminate the player, out of the available players to gavel, that I most believe will flip scum.

You are saying I used it 'wrong' rather than saying I used it 'scummy.'

Not at all.

An argument of "you used it wrong" would be me saying "you shouldn't have used it on sng, that is the wrong person to use it on."

My argument is "you denied the town an opportunity to talk about who the target should be" which you clearly did.

Like why not at least open up conversation about it, get people's opinions on record, and then say gently caress it and gavel sng anyway? It would cost you literally nothing.

I dunno I feel like it is merk's role, he can choose who to put up. We still get to decide if it goes through and THEN merk still has to decide to use it. I am fine with merk having the agency to choose the target. I'd rather he own his choice than weasel out of it by letting the town choose for him

Whoa. That is some crazy posting. We get nothing here by “making merk make the choice” if we are in LYLO after it and scum happen to have the last vig (charging vig I guess). Knowing what he thinks doesn’t help if scum win. This is some bad logic imo.

Treading carefully feels like the right choice here - that all escalated quickly.

I haven't caught up yet, but in case y'all go fuckin bananas again, I want to say this we should not vig or gavel anyone during the day today unless we are 100% they are scum.

We can assume at least 3 scum, and there's a potential 4th given the size of the game. There also might be 3rd parties. All this to say that a rando kill, lunch, and NK could lose us the game.

I'm against merk using his gavel and you should be too.

That is all.

Also ##vote merk cause I said I would. I'm like 4 pages behind or something but I'm also a man of my word.

There are ten alive. Unless you think there are 5 scum, we definitely could gavel and use majority elimination today.

I’ll be honest, I’ve been fairly slammed with stuff and not overly talkative, and for that I apologize.

But my lurkiness aside (though if this were any other game I’m still posting enough not to get called out by lurker rules) the arguments against me aren’t completely fair.

sandnavyguy
Sep 12, 2015

First off, in no way did my town read of ill mucche rely on OA being scum. This is a blatant misrepresentation. I am in mason chat, our interactions with Sandwolf and eachother are multifaceted and THAT is where my confidence in their towniness lies. That is the obvious exception to the OA issue. I felt no reason to bring it up again as I felt we had all been quite clear that as a masonry we have more information on our companions than those in thread and the need to justify it would be lower. Otherwise I apparently post too much.

I'm assuming 4 scum. As such, arithmetically, it is basically impossible that that is true.

If the case on SNG were 100% airtight, maybe! I guess I can look over it again

Is 6/10 (aka the number that is hopefully not scum) 67% somehow?

Secondly, most of my casework this game was on OA, yes. Unfortunately They ended up being town, but please do not imply the case wasn’t compelling, because it absolutely was. Several people agreed with it and I’m far from the only one who thought they weren’t playing a strong town game, to imply otherwise is again, misrepresentation.

With all these issues people are calling me out on, why do you feel the need to pick breezy talking points? Because you don’t actually believe I’m scum, and wanna push for a quick lunch because people are tired this game.
