    It would be better if you just explained. Hoping to box me into something is a waste of time since I genuinely have no idea what I'm supposed to be seeing. If you manage to out Snowvon as suddenly-extra-sneaky-scum I'll willingly pack it up and sheep you the rest of the game.

    I wrote those posts. I know exactly what I was thinking when I made them, so whatever it is you think you've divined from them is already fated to be dreadfully warped.

    Please state why I'm scum instead of making a big show of having top-notch damning information.

    Waiting is pointless and gives me less time to thoroughly decimate your points, if that's even going to be necessary.

    Von is pinging me as scummy.

    I don't like his reactions/play after and before my claim.

    I ain't sheeping Fonti. Nerds.

    Titus- Elaborate on Rubicon.

    Von- What do you dislike about The Flacko Kid?

    And what's the purpose of looking back to D1 to see who was pushing to lynch who?

    Town doesn't know shit, it's blind finger pointing!

    We look just as scummy as scum does.

    Now shut your yap and move on, you're dragging out a dead argument.

    Which is what I've been saying all along.

    Until there's hard data to work with, it's all a shot in the dark no matter how clever we think we are.

    ---------- Post automerged at 06:15 ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 ----------

    This isn't scum!Gribster unless his play is just radically different on this site, fonti.

    Do you understand what I've been saying, now?

    Do you get it? Does it make more sense?

    ---------- Post automerged at 06:19 ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 ----------

    I don't like Rubicon's hop off fonti after she started hinting around at suspecting him to be scum.

    Looks appeasey.

    Guess I'll start there.

    Rainwall for Sloth

    his fluffiness
    Sloth: unlike most people, he’s actually posting and defending his reads, and asking people questions. I like him so far.
    Snowvon: he defends Titus for no reason (as far as I could tell, she was not being wagoned), but he also makes posts with substance and actual reads with explanations.
    Fontisian: she’s giving out her reads, but they seem to be tunneling Von instead of looking at everyone, which is enough to make me slightly uncomfortable with her.
    Terraine: seems to like pushing Rubicon as scum, and questioning townreads on him. Asks questins, points out inconsistencies in people’s posts, and prods people to post, but she seems to be lacking in reads of her own.
    Plotless: He’s spent his time defending his lack of vote instead of seeing who he think is scum. I liked him before, but a lot less upon reread.
    Jpzh2d: I’m concerned about his vote on Rubicon. He votes Rubicon for jumping around, but then says he doesn’t think Rubicon is scum, but then says he is happy with his vote on Rubicon.

    Citrus: has barely posted.
    The Waco Kid: has barely posted.
    Atum: has barely posted.

    Xanidel: Something more than him explaining why he can’t give reads, or giving scumreads with no explanations would be nice. Although some of his non-explanations are weird. He says he scumreads Rubicon, but doesn’t know why. But wouldn’t this serve as an explanation? Especially since Rubicon never answers. Quote:

    Rubicon: I don’t get his actions with regards to fontisian. He is convinced that she’s scum, but her scumreading him is enough to get him to back off? That seems wrong, and I don’t like it.
    Titus: tunnels Rubicon, defends Lucky, and doesn’t do much, if anything, else. Frankly I expected Titus’s posts to have more substance, or at least for her to be called on her posting.
    Pinky: I don’t like his attitude of “Day1 is useless”, and encouraging people not to analyze Day1 while downplaying the info we can learn from it does not seem towny, at least to me.
    Lucky Lee: I don’t believe his cop claim, and has he had a substantial post otherwise?

    And how can you reconcile that assertion with:

    Also, it's rather interesting that you say this after I've begun participating.

    What's the matter, don't like my turnabout?

    What posts? As much as I DON'T want outside opinions on Sloth...I do want them on Titus because she apparently goes against my train of thought when it comes to this game.

    I will admit I'm more quiet and laid back than usual. 2 reasons.

    1) Last true game I was in I fucked up royally with Titus. I was super aggressive and only 1 of my tunnels was right (and no one would lynch them). I'm trying to take a calmer approach.

    2) RL. I got some meh news and I've been kinda off taking care of that.

    See this part bothers me. It doubtcasts anyone who doesn't RVS vote and just seems to be to make Snow look good due to his fluffy nature. Some people can't hit the ground running on the silly front at game start. For some it feels stilted and awkward because that's just not their Meta or because perhaps they're new and not comfortable yet. We seem to have 4 of in this game. This train of thought just seems to me to be less a helpful one to town and self serving to Snow.

    It's a damned if you do damned if you don't position. If you do try to force it scum turn around and go "Look how AWKWARD this player is! Totally has something to hide." And if you don't scum goes "Why isn't this person joining in on a RVS vote? They have something to hide."

    Your turnabout where you spend most of your post explaining why D1 is useless before actually laying down a vote? You turnabout where you still don't give opinions on most players? Yes, I'm very much impressed.

    Meh, I probably misspoke. I meant you like focusing on and focusing people on Rubicon. I assumed this was because you thought he was scum. Upon rereread, it's less prevalent than I thought though.

    268

    Are you scum with Rubicon?

    ---------- Post automerged at 10:14 ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 ----------

    268.

    Read the game or stfu thx.

    ---------- Post automerged at 10:29 ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 ----------

    If Rubicon flips scum, his fluffiness needs to go next. There was a lot of defending of Rubicon in 269.

    Question on the bolded.

    Does Pinky's view on D1 seem like something someone on the scum team would articulate?

    Do you disagree with my characterization of post 268?

    And I don't see what 213 has to do with anything, considering it's just you saying you'll try to put in a bit more effort. Which then led into more grumbling about Day 1.

    I was responding to Terraine, not asking you a question, as basic reading comprehension could tell you. But you're instead deliberately misinterpreting my posts, so... go you?

    So calling Rubicon a scum read and questioning his flip flopping reads is defending him now? I'll keep that in mind.

    ---------- Post automerged at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

    He's not posting many opinions or reads, and using the D1 thing as an excuse not to post opinions or reads, and I could definitely see scum using that as a cover to get out of providing their reads.

    Is she lacking in reads of her own, or is she pushing Rubicon & questioning townreads on him?

    You can't have it both ways.

    If you think Rubicon is scum, why are you concerned with JP's vote on Rubicon? Why not simply point out his inconsistency ON said vote?



    More subtle undermining of your supposed scumread. Doesn't add up.

    What's wrong with her tunneling Rubicon if you think it's a wagon on scum?

    You know what else Lucky is doing? He's (She's?) voting Rubicon.

    ---------- Post automerged at 13:22 ---------- Previous post was at 13:18 ----------

    Rubicon doesn't look like a scum read here. He looks like a null/scum at worst.

    Scum loves putting their buddies in various shades of null because it's easier to defend their stances on them later on.

    if Rubi flips scum, I'm happy with lynching you next.

    ...Umm, both? She's both pushing Rubicon as scum (although a lot less then I thought at first), which is not something I disagree with, and she doesn't seems to have very many reads on other people. I don't see how that's contradictory.

    Because it shows that he's flip flopping a lot, and isn't voting for someone he thinks is scum. I would be questioning that sequence if he was voting anyone else too, even you or Lucky.

    I'm just pointing out that he can't even keep the reasons for his reads straight, which points to him not actually having reasons for those reads, which is an indication of a scum mindset.


    Well, tunneling is not a good thing, and in her last scum game (Batmafia), she spent her time tunneling people (such as Math and Lyrium).


    You do know that a thing called bussing exists, right? Just because a scum read of mine is voting another scum read of mine doesn't mean that I'm wrong.

    Ter: 2 Town: Sloth+Snow
    2 Scum: Lucky+Pinky
