I figure that if I have to actually come out and say "Hey guys, I'm town", I'm doing something wrong.

Hey guys

Hey serene, check our votes, then get back to us.

Brian was replaced by Quadz, was VT, and only has 11 posts or so on the thread. So no real metadives are going to work here.

He enters the thread pretty late and unapologetically with over 200 posts down.

- votes BRO. At this point in the game thread both the BRO wagon and the Stevie wagon were moving along at a decent clip. Might be something associative to that but flips will be neede to sort.

- the "I am scum. Discuss." post. This felt townie. (I know, I know, stfu)

Then a few posts about varsoon and gambiting.

then 2 more posts.

- asks where doc has been (irony)

- informs us that nightfall is approaching

10 posts in total.


That's some hardcore lurking, that is.

He mentioned in this thread that he's played mafia elsewhere. Maybe he'll be willing to cough up a a link or two.

I am willing to vote Nero, however my vote would be more to clear the crap from the thread rather than to lynch scum, so I will stay on BRO until some of you actually see the scum in that... or I need to switch over for a lynch.

BRO also has an outstanding promise as well...

This also just sounds like an excuse to me. Why do you need a "townbloc" to vote together? What relationship do they have to eachother?
In post 1799, Serene wrote:If you can't figure out that he's totally obv-scum in this game by reading that other game... maybe meta analysis isn't your forte.
True meta does not one game make.

In order to have an accurate read based on meta, you need to have
at least
one town and one scum game to compare to that show explicitly that said player never does one thing as either town or scum while doing it as the opposite alignment. Meta is problematic because we are not static people. We change all the time based on experience.

Hey I don't even believe in meta. I think meta anything just blows chunks. Like "slips." Slips never pan out. Neither does meta. And we've got those two meta engineers up here that read 4 posts from some random game to spit out "null light lean scum." Big fucking woop. Garbage in, garbage out.

Nero however IS scum, his behavior in this game is solidly indicative of scum alignment.

But since you guys can't get your shit together to lynch a scum, or even to seriously wagon a scum for that matter, I have to present arguments that are both distasteful to my scumhunting sensibilities and straight up wrong - except that the conclusion is correct.

You're town. Wagon Nero.

Then we get a claim, we observe his behavior
in extremis
, and that is the best way to judge a player's mettle.

I'm sick of this meta bullshit.

Stubbs

put a random vote down in post 53, got yelled at because "RVS IS OVER!!!!"

reacts to the yelling (pretty well, I tnink), and votes Nero i - kinda looks like a random vote typre reason for the vote. "For telling me I suck for not voting within the first 4 hours of this game.", some back and forth with Nero follows.

- asking players questions about their posts. Looks scum-hunty. More questions follow, ISO him yourself if you want to see all 60-odd posts. He pushes lurkers (dramonic), people who FoS without a case (Baby Spice), defends not moving his Nero vote,

- some town reads

631[/post] - I like his pushback at Domo.

- unvotes Nero because he finally posted a read (town read)

[Later, there's a series of posts where he doesn't back down from orcinus, pushes Shadi for reads and calls him on apparent contradicitons

After the mason claim he does a review of Stevie's posts and comes up with a "why are you voting this guy?"

Stevie returns, sans BRO case. Stubbs calls him on it and later votes him.

HOW THE HELL IS ANYBODY READING THIS GUY AS ANYTHING BUT TOWN????

Great trajectory on every vot/unvote. Transparent thought process. Always looking for the next thing to research or question.

In post 1662, Serene wrote:Nero, since you know that I am town - you have literally ZERO reason to use 90% of your posts to discredit me.

You also have no scumreads. You have been voting your buddy Stevie since June 12.

The only explanation for the above is your scum role PM.

You're very lucky we're playing a game where no one seems to want to lynch anyone. If this game had normal players, you know, that vote players to lynch, and get the game moving, I'm pretty sure you'd be lynched.


I don't know. I think I'd be up to lynch Nero.
I don't know what annoys me more. Bad Harry Potter fan fiction that gets the facts right, or good Harry Potter fan fiction that doesn't.

It's part of the game, unfortunately.
In post 1514, Rift Adrift wrote:One of the reasons I kept Cephrir in my scumpile for much of the amnesiac game (while I was in it and afterwards) was because his posts came off as hedgy to me. Another reason was that the posts also came off as a little wordsmithed.

Taking a closer look at Cephrir is officially on my to do list.

I didn't like them when I read them; his scum/town list feels empty, and I don't like that he tried to appeal to us/work with us before jumping on the "oh calcifer is scum wagon".
