Morning, y'all. I think I caught a cold or something, been feeling very drained all week and entirely demolished my supply of tissues. Also been really busy so I'm not entirely sure why I joined this game in the first place. Anyway, rereading now, enough whining.

Johnny Keats posted:I think Hambeet is scum this game.

I bet some of my early scumreads were right and he jumped to discredit mode. Can you elaborate on this? I'm not seeing it but I tend to have trouble reading beet. Still waiting on one of the folks that said tsie is town to actually explain why to me too (but that isn't directed at you)

My own read of that post history was like he was trying to paint other looters (if they exist) as scum, despite having the ability himself, while also trying rolefishing for targets to loot. This does not seem like a town mindset to me. ##vote Johnny Keats

Yeah, well, they read as disingenuous to me, especially in the first half. I don't know about you but I personally don't immediately assume my own action is scummy. Not only did you immediately try to hide it (at first), you also used it as an angle to try and put suspicion on other looters. It's like trying to both have the cake and eat it. Your posts, in my opinion, heavily imply that you're worried about the optics of your role. Making posts that could very well trick people into revealing themselves as targets while remaining squeaky clean yourself is just the cherry on top as far as I'm concerned.

Monathin posted:i am in fact going to bed for real now but imo it's not inherently scummy for keats to be aware of their own scumminess, because this happens with enough frequency it'd be weirder not to acknowledge it ... huh? I'm not sure I follow the logic there. The point is that his actions are scummy. I'm not accusing Keats of being too concerned about looking town in a vacuum here.

CubicalSucrose posted:https://votefinder.org/players/common_games/johnny-keats-2/yami-fenrir My own read on Keats is that he has a tendency to be pretty scummy, but usually I can see the logic in his points. I don't remember for sure if he's internally consistent though, it's been a while. Either way, this is why I initially ignored the forming bandwagon on him and looked for other people like tsie. That said I do legitimately think I'm onto something here. My own memory is Keats is that he just looks/sounds scummy in general, this seems actively two-faced.

Johnny Keats posted:If I accidentally steal your item, it was because nobody came forward as having nothing stealable and I had to make an uninformed choice. Oh for crying out loud. Still at work but I really do feel the need to say this: Hyper Crab Tank posted:I am not opposed to voting out a lurker D1, certainly, but I think people should at least have a chance to post on this final day. Why would reveal this? For gods sake, don't hand out info in response to the (imo) obvious rolefishing. This is just not good regardless of Keats' alignment. If he's scum, you're letting him narrow down his choices. If he's town, he's telling the truth about there possibly being a scum looter, in which case you're still helping scum. It's just not a good idea either way and this ham-fisted and very self-serving attempt at getting people to reveal this information (at the likely detriment of town) just tells me my vote's in the right place.

Okay, first off, sorry for being basically AWOL yesterday. I've gotten severely hosed up by a combination of hayfever and heat and was basically non-functional. I still haven't fully recovered, but I did manage to get some reads done. I have some things to say, but first I'd like to ask Never something. Namely, is your role PM basically a copy of RWC's?

NeverHelm posted:So I'm curious Keats - you said your BP was popped, so that means you already had one. You claimed to get these by buying them, just like me and RWC can do. How were you able to afford one this early? Or did you have one from the start? Yeah, this is part of why I'm sus of Keats, he just seems to have our (and RWC's) role, but extra. Kinda stinks.

Anyway, I found it really hard to read the entire thread again yesterday (thanks keats), so I decided to focus on looking at votes instead. And honestly, I kinda feel they're pretty interesting.votefinder posted:Votecount for Day 1 Now, I'm lacking some of the in-the-moment context, but I believe it started with Never. I don't really fully understand why Never or RWC got that many votes (besides looter), but Tea Party even less. However, from what I can gathered, the vote stalled on keats with 6 votes for a pretty long time, before rapidly swapping between multiple targets. I find this suspicious, because stalling votes usually means scum is on the block, and the rapid switching is easily explained as scumbuds trying to get the vote off them. To start with, I've checked the voters and mona stuck out to me as someone who was on two of the wagons opposing the keats one. I'll make a separate case on mona later but mona basically just doesn't acknowledge anything wrong with keats, which is silly. Mona's posting sounds more like a bad youtuber sponsorship deal than a real person. zzyxx also kinda looked like they were running defense, but I'm less sure about them than I am mona. Other than that, lesser suspicions are tsie and sandwolf. I've already pointed out tsie's odd reaction, but with the way their posting happened EOD, I'm unsure. I also find sandwolf totally ignoring Keats odd. Not only the posting, but also at the end, he is conveniently going for an opposing wagon. In addition to this, we have a flipped looter claim, Never claims to have the same role as RWC (in practice) and so do I. So I don't buy this "more important" bullshit, personally. To me there is just too much wrong here. I don't really buy that keats just got an upgraded version of 3 other townies (assuming the unclaimed one is scum), the way people are interacting with keats factually whack as poo poo claim is sketchy, the way the vote stalled before suddenly a million counter wagons appear is sketchy. ##vote Johnny Keats

Johnny Keats posted:I don't see how you could think not claiming looter during all the discussion yesterday was better for town. That is the thing that really betrays your motivations How nice of you to selectively ignore the part where I literally said I was basically non-functional due to health reasons yesterday. Tea Party Crasher posted:Basically if I were scum I would not invite town to think this much about how my mechanics work especially if other people shared them People keep saying that but I'm not going to put stock in it. I think Never was right on the money with the "wanted to get town cred by claiming a scummy role" bit. It would be a logical explanation for why he first went "looting is scummy, guys!" but then was like "actually I'm a looter too!" after Never said "actually I'm a town looter" (iirc, I'm not 100% on the timing). Y'all are putting too much weight on "Would he do this". I don't remember my previous games well but i vaguely remember Keats as someone who is just always in the center of attention, usually due setup stuff. You need to look at the way he's doing things, not what he's doing.

NeverHelm posted:So, you also have the exact same thing then? Interesting. Yup. Unless the mystical 4th looter (who keats might just be lying about, we don't know) claims to have an upgraded version too, Keats' is the only one whose is somehow better, on top of having an additional way of generating ducats. And if Keats has the same list as RWC and I (and presumably you) do, that means he's the only one who has an alternate way. I'd buy some sort of 3P merc role who has to earn ducats, but town? Not really.
