Now see, when you relax and presume everyone is town in good faith, this allows only the most egregiously false-sounding things to trigger your alarms.

If in fact ANarc is town, which I still doubt, I don't see how Hal can see what he claims to see so he might just know their alignment already.

I really don’t understand why you guys aren’t voting keane. His wologar case was one of the most flimsy cases I’ve ever seen. Wologar was posting normal reads like anyone else and keane kept trying to gotcha him over nothing. Keane called hal scum during jokephase, said he would vote him, eventually did vote after I asked him why he wasn’t, and then immediately went after wologar. Keane needs to be the vote today and if he is scum, hal is almost certainly scum.

If you're that certain about Keane and that chain link, why not go for Hal first, that post of his was dodgy. Seriously you can reread AN's whole postcount in literally one minute, tell me what Hal's on about with "appreciating her joking around" or whatever.

He was either defending AN as a scumbud or whiteknighting a town AN for reasons that make no sense.

Yeah I'm reading Maerlyn as town cause while I was just chilling out, she was starting up the exact same kind of slapfight with Yami that she normally gets into with me instead.

But I don't think Keane is a good alternative to her at all.

That said, please look at this as well - b- accuses me of not interacting with him despite calling me scum, and then accuses me of OMGUSing wologar, saying that I only interacted because he called me scum. I can't win with b-.

Morning all, I'm really annoyed that the one time I literally sleep through deadline y'all apparently decided to only then go along with voting ANarc, and not Hal who I'd left my vote on.

I'm down for trying again on ANarc today but I still think Hal's false-sounding defense is more actively scummy than AN's more generally lurky play. And it could have possibly been white knighting a town AN rather than defending a scumbro.

Keane being self-aligned (lol that he rolled survivor again) is as good as a town flip when it comes to the info it gives us on scum. I have a feeling binus was killed partially to frame Hal (or potentially even Wind),

What? Binus was active and wordy as hell, he prolly just got killed for everyone thinking he was town. Also he was super wrong on Keane, who I'm still mad is dead after his fun antics, so I doubt anyone cares what his reads are

Bif was pinging me a bit there, but I think she’s in casual town bif mode the more I see

There are a group of people I have no thoughts on yet, like Maer and cloaca that I need to think about

And after I called Hal out he followed it up with this.

Hal Insandenza posted:

Sorry I was just continuing the joke

If I have to be more serious, I didn’t like ANarcs early binus vote and the bit about if people think they are town then they are scum and vice versa. But the later unvote and reconsideration I liked, and I like their loose joking attitude. I don’t see why bif would find that impossible to believe but that’s bif for you

Just look over ANarcs whole post history, AN had barely been around too so I have no idea what would give Hal any sort of read at all, let alone "seems like they are having fun"

Yeah, I already wasn't sure if I could keep it up past D1. He really wrote a fun message to humor my request for voluntary alignment change, though. It was framed as a new wincon to post 3 fart jokes or puns per game day.

Toalpaz posted:

wow pretend i quoted exactly this but came to the exact opposite conclusion, i think this looks incredibly bad

I'm also confused at Salad's conclusions here, yeah. Again. I want to believe he's town for that claim and that shameless "retraction" that just feels too fun to be scum but I'm keeping an eye on him.

Since this is from a while back I better explain more how I disagree, but wait till I get this post down first so I can follow my own link here

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

I agree with this. Esp clo and plastic.

For Clo, they said "seems like a better case" but there was no actual case made against me at that time. Seems like scum trying to justify flipping their vote

Ok I agree with this reasoning here on Cloaca. AN still isn't flipped but calling it "a better case" makes little sense to me. I made a brief D1-level argument for why I thought AN was the best vote at one point, but it really didn't have much to it and no one else had much to add beyond vague "yeah I guess" kinda vibes about AN. My point I'd made about Hal was way better, and if anyone thought I had a point on AN before, the Hal case really flowed on from observing AN and could still allow for looking at AN next.

So here's the Salad post Toal was griping about (and I also didn't think made much sense)

saladscooper posted:

Just skimmed the end of the day again, I think the scummiest looking people in that whole mess are wolo, Cloaca, and Plastic. Notably, Cloaca and Plastic show up for the swerve onto Anarc but don't swerve back onto Keane.

I don't really follow why swerving to ANarc but not Keane is supposed to indicate anything about anybody. Like if ANarc is scum, then that would be hella town to stay put! But if not, then it didn't really matter to scum whether AN or Keane got lunched.

But I do agree with Cloaca being scummy. Just for the justification given though, rather than any swerve activity.

I know you’ve posted this before but what’s your case on Hal?

I just finished lunch but if you check my posts it should be just a few back. Quick summary though, AN and Hal were my main D1 vibe reads already based on everyone else feeling like they could be town and them not giving me as much of a relaxed feeling there like it could easily be true. Then while I was sitting there on AN as the better option of the two, Hal comes in with a defense AN that I'm not saying was a strong defense or anything, just a fake sounding one.

Maerlyn" post="528197953"]I am still feeling Wind as scum because Toal made a good post here about Wind entering the game and her reads not evolving:

Wind entering the game and seeing what Yami was thinking, sure...but if I'm town and replace town I don't think I default to the same reads as the person I'm replacing. Scum don't have the luxury of just throwing caution to the wind and coming up with some new take, there's a cautious vibe to it. I want to read more of Wind's posts after she joined the game and how deadline went down again too.

There's another point I want to bring up but I need to see if I missed any other posts from Wind before I mention it (if her visitor has announced themself yet).

So would vote Hal, Wind, gonna look at deadline and see what else sticks out.
[/quote]

Hm, this and your other post make some fair points. I was thinking Yami sounded legit in how he was annoyed at you focusing on him early, but he's pretty good at sounding indignant when he's scum too. Or it might've just been all the rl frustration seeping in regardless of alignment.

I'm still hoping Hal can get over the line here but I'll at least consider Wind as an option today.

Also noting a few inconsistencies with those players.

Monathin was extremely insistent that Salad was scum D1, but seems to have completely forgotten they existed today. Illusonis was very determined that Anarc was scum D1, but not enough to keep the vote on them, and has not tried to push back at all. Or well, forgot that the game exists, idk. I'll give Cloaca a bit of credit for actually casing Wind today but it still seems like a bandwagon jump. Not sure yet.

PlasticAutomaton posted:

..Also guess I should clarify. I think Illusionis is also scum distancing from Anarc as they pushed and pushed but when time came to get rid of Anarc, they started desperately trying to float alternatives.

One thing I'd add to this is that I'm really surprised there isn't a way bigger push to get right back onto AN to finish yesterday's business.

To me it gives the vibe of being around to swerve once and then calling it a day - not being engaged through the end of the day. I'd prefer someone who was cognizant of and reacting to both swerves rather than someone who did a swerve and then forgot about it.

Ok this makes a lot more sense for why you'd think it, but I still wouldn't really draw that conclusion. A scum who's around for deadline and bothers to swerve once probably wouldn't want to actually stop paying attention in case things got to a no-lunch that made them look bad.

Could also be that all the potential vote leaders (keane, maerlyn, anarc, and me) were not-scum, and therefore the target of the swerve didn't actually matter

Yeah that's definitely a possibility. Even in that case though, scum's job wouldn't be to keep things off a particular person, it'd be to look like they're still engaged and pretend they give a poo poo. So I think it's just background noise.

You listed Bif as frustrating you the most, but does that mean you think she's town pushing you, or scum pushing you?

I was really interested in his answer. Not just to hear how his read on me sounded, but to flesh out that "most frustrating" label as well.

I mean, I'm sure having me settle on him as my biggest suspicion based mostly on "vibe" would be frustrating of course. But Hal is familiar enough with my old-school arrogant hypertunnel ways that it seems kinda strange to be so bothered by a much more relaxed push on him.
