Mastin wrote: This is the polar opposite of the truth, and Ald of all people should know this. It's backwards--the people less interested in reading the thread aren't scum. They're town, who're bored. AKA, VTs. (Which fits perfectly with Captain's roleclaim--the slot was playing like a VT. As Secret pointed out, this applied to Captain just as much as Gerhard.) See also: Jily, a perfect example. She wasn't lying when she said she is more interested in the games where she's scum. And if you doubt that's enough, you can also look into me, and realize that this was close to MY belief as well. I put more attention into interesting games. And while if I was under heavy pressure (AKA, close to being lynched), a town-game would be interesting to me, quite frankly, the scum games held my interest a lot more frequently. It's a frequent town-tell.

It should, because that's the exact same thing which people are doing with Captain.)
He presents a lot of points against Ald, wording things pretty well. He gives a lot of reasons why Ald makes perfect sense as sum. And yet, doesn't think it's particularly scummy. And calls his lynch a quicklynch. When 1: it had built up over the whole day, and 2: WE WERE FREAKIN' THREE DAYS FROM THE ORIGINAL DEADLINE, THEN.I have to agree with Mastin, Post #1189 by Alduskkel was all over the place. It involved him pointing out decently strong town-tells from Alex and Yoshi and then progressing to cast a level of suspicion and questioning upon them later in the post along with a vote placed on Alex with a real lack of reasoning for the change of mind. I fail to understand what he attempts to gain by linking WK and SP and stating that there was a lack of hard interactions between them because there very clearly was furthermore he avoids taking any real stances on the more active or vocal players in the game and progresses to FoS'ing certain lurkers which is reasonable if he can explain how their level of lurking or contentless posting is a scum-tell but isn't for others such as Elsa or TWIE. With all that said I don't find the post particulary scummy, just bad and I'm uneasy with any consideration of a quicklynch when content is actually starting to pick up in the thread.
Scumslip. Major, MAJOR scumslip. Ald KNOWS there's a real RB. Note that he's calling Jily scum, and even if they nailed an RB, Jily couldn't prove herself. When the only evidence of an RB so far comes from Jily. And if an RB were found, it'd have to be her partner. It all gives MAJOR scum-points to Ald. (How did I miss this before?)Ald wrote:Since jilynne has claimed to be 1-shot that means that even if we nail a Mafia RB she still can't prove her role to us.
Scum tone.You don't know?
Or, Occam's Razor, WormyKrew was scum pushing a mislynch EXACTLY the same way Ald has been.This is quite possibly because he knew she was scum and wanted to get town points if ever she was killed. Or maybe because he knew she was faking it he perceived her as more scummy and continued to pursue her in that faux town mindset.
Quite false; limited-shot vigilantes seem to appear in pretty much every-other game I play in. (Every-third at WORST.)They're one of the more rare roles, I think.

I want to rephrase my thoughts on Ironhead/Secret Project. I think Ironhead is right in the argument. This game is 100% about appeals to something. Appeals to logic, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority. All of those appeals can be used by BOTH scum and town. From Ironhead town pov, I can see him raging at Secret Project because from a quick read-through it looks like Secret Project is trying to "fos him" for appealing to logic, when in reality logic is the strongest part of the game.
Now, I don't really blame Secret Project for pointing out appeal to authority as a possible "scumtell". I don't view it as much of a scumtell as I view it as something that would be dangerous for a scum-sided player to have. If scum can establish their authority early on it can cause lots of problems for town for obvious reasons. I feel that this was what he was getting at maybe? The arrogance/appeal to authority/whatever you want to call it is in itself a big fat null tell though.
I think Ironhead vs Secret Project is very possibly Town v. Town and we shouldn't lynch either.
jilynne, essentially I believe you are town because I believe your newbie tells. People view your politeness and not wanting to pressure people as potential scum, but they are forgetting (or ignoring) the fact you are a teenage girl and your behavior very likely matches your personality. Derp. No offense intended. And yea, once you claimed it becomes even more obv that you are town.
On page 8, will post once ore on page 12 and then a recap. I'm doing this so you guys can see my thought process as I catch up.

jilynne, I was pointing out how it was massive fail for anyone to be voting you for being too polite. I thought it was pretty apparent that you were being sincere.
Also, I've finished reading and I'm pleased that I don't even have to change my slots vote. SleepyKrew is still my top suspect and a ton of my town reads are voting him. I feel good about the lynch.

I know some people will disagree with me on this, but appearing town really should be town's #1 priority. This is even more important than being highly skilled at finding scum in my opinion.
The most common fail that costs town games is that sometimes people are so quick to attribute classic scumtells "OMGUS, aTe, vote-hopping, being careful not to piss people off, etc." as necessarily indicative of the player who committed that action to be scum. Each player needs to be judged on whether their own playing style is sincere. There is no correct way to play and just as people in this game are different, their actions need to be judged differently. A town tell from one player maybe a scumtell from another player and vice-versa.

You've had one game with me. Where I was town. Not a whole lot to go off of using a meta argument. Also, graduating this week, remember?
Despite that, I agree that you're giving a town vibe in your initial set of posts.
Yes, I know its just one game. You were obv town in it though. This game, not so much. Early on you even admitted your play style as scum is fail/lurk. Upon reread, I feel you have been lurking or at least not contributing up to the level you are capable of. It's day one but its the strongest thing I have at this point. There is plenty of time for you to change my opinion of you if you are in fact town.

So, a couple things.
1. I don't like what mastin is doing. He just comes in and takes charge. Please, get us that evidence you keep promising us. I will not follow you unless you build a proper case, and neither should anybody else.
2. Secret Project:
Use your QT more please. I don't like watching the two heads converse in thread, it just adds garbage to sift through later.
3. jil:

This is what I think of immediately when I think WormyKrew "slip". I'm not sure if "slip" is the right word, but it reads as uber scummy to me.
The awesomeness and the glory of a town-sided hydra isbeing able topost two different town perspectives in the game. That essentially lets two town-sided players share their thoughts. This is a great thing as it helps other townies get a town read on you (or at least on one of you). Basically the insistence on the hydras not contradicting itself is what makes me think you guys have scum thought process going on. Scum hydras worry about contradicting themselves, town hydras let their reads flow. A strong town read on even one half of a hydra can be very helpful...Another example of this type of behavior below. Is this what you were thinking of Mastin?
WormyKrew wrote:First off, sorry for posting on the wrong account in 105.
I assure you, we won't use two heads as an excuse for inconsistencies. We discuss things thoroughly in our QT. This is why our vote remains on jil. Am I missing anything?
jil, that is absolutely ridiculous what you said. It screams desperate newbscum.
As you will note, I've been making the majority of the posts. That's because I'm better at generating discussion, and ear is better at picking up on little things that I missed. So expect me to address broad subjects and ear to nitpick.However, we will discuss it over QT, and there will be no contradictions.

@Elsa, to clarify in the other game we were in you weren't the most prolific poster either and you used the whole graduation dealio as an excuse there, which is totally legit. Life takes precedence over forum mafia obviously. My suspicion on you is not so much because of the inactivity as much as it is the lack of meaningful things you say when you do post imo.

Meh.
@WormyKrew, my vote isn't set in stone. It's d1 after all. I wouldn't mind going after a lurker that could be a liability later.
