Psyche, you just posted a wallpost that was basically "I thought so, too, but maybe not!" ctrl+C+P'd about 6 times. Your theory about 2b1s doesn't stand, either: for one, this is a 7p game as opposed to the other one being 13p with 3 scum in it. The way he explained his confusion was sincere, you say? If it was a scum ploy, I'm fairly sure he would know how would he go about it.

Is that all you got out of it? Really?
Player count isn't something you require OP reading to determine.
Secondly, it's not useful to overestimate the scumteam. Their limitations are how you find them. If 2b is scum capable of making those 5 posts, then he cannot be beaten. I am vastly more willing to believe that he is town than that he is incredibly talented scum. The rest of his play evinces this.

Not that I think 2b would be a poor scum; I just think its obvious that he isn't scum at all.
And then there were 5.

Player count is indeed something that you don't notice at first, but after only 5 people have posted for over 2 days, one would check the OP.
Oh, and someone asked what welp means -- welp. It's kinda "oh. well. yeah." Fancy way of saying blegh.

So you think it's more probable that 2b is scum executing an extremely elaborate tactic perfectly to trick us, than that he lacked the oversight to pay attention to the game's setup that he says he already assumed he knew.

Having seen this particular event? No, I'd assume he's more likely to be town. However, he's already scummy.

Okay, I agree with most of what Psyche said, but I do take issue with some of it.
One, as much as I'd love to be right about Om of the Nom, he looks far less scummy than Chrimi. Chrimi's posts are fluffy and irrelevant. Om's posts, while somewhat scummy, are relevant to the game at hand.
The most serious vote Chrimi has made all game was an OMGUS vote. Om's votes, while I strongly disagree with them, have had reasoning behind them.
I find Staeg relatively townie, but he's more null than anything. I'll ISO him when I get home (I'm currently at TAFE atm), but for the time being, I wouldn't consider him for a lynch.
If we mislynch today, I doubt scum are going to put themself up for lynch tomorrow (though it's not impossible). My reason for saying this is that day two LyLo is way too good an oppurtunity to pass off. I don't like the idea that our resident lurker, Prolapsed, could make it to LyLo. That idea scares me. A lot. Kamikrazy is making me nervous too, but at least he voted.
My vote stays where it is for now.

Kami's name actually made an appearance at the bottom of the page a few minutes ago...
↑Om of the Nom wrote:Also I don't like how he both A) Assumes confirmed town status even when he's not, and B) Votes someone for voting a (supposedly) confirmed person, and then proceeds to vote a basically confirmed person.
EDIT: Well hey, to each his own. I'm not scum though.
Nice red herring of a defense. And you really missed 2b's indication that those posts you find scummy aren't serious. That therefore constitutes a misrep. Intentional? You tell me, Om.
Well I still think it could be serious. I don't care whether he says it is or not.
↑Om of the Nom wrote:I'm honestly not sure either. It was probably one of my "silly" moments.
Unacceptable backtracking.
I'm not saying I shouldn't have posted it, I'm just mentioning that it was stupid.
↑Om of the Nom wrote:@2b1s: No, Chrimi doesn't normally act like this, but the games I'm playing with him are ongoing so I can't say much. However, meta side his posts are lackluster and full of nothing. Discussion has already started happening and he has provided nothing to further it. UNVOTE: VOTE: Chrimi
Also "buddying" basically means acting in a certain way to another player to try and get them on your side.
This seems to suggest that Chrimi's passiveness is shown by meta to be a consistent trait of hers (and thus not indicative of anything about her alliance).
Bfore I comment further, could you tell me if this explanation is correct.
No, Chrimi seems to be more wordy in the other games, and more focused on the game itself.
@Staeg: You basically just did the exact same thing.
OH. HE GOT YOU THERE. But this addendum is so short and snarky as to be ineffectual. Maybe purposely ineffectual as to preempt any attack that may arise.
