We have to do this, I have too much love to give.

Also in fairness making catch up posts in a Page by page format is just not needed, you just tend to 'look for' things to comment on and jump at shadows! It's why re-reading too often can be a bad thing)

Also another tip: Switch your vote!

Okay thanks, not switching my vote though.

It's mostly a few things (now bear in mind I think DGB is pretty obviously scum so)
The at least one of me/dgb scum thing seems a false dichotomy to a neutral observer (i'd think?) and i don't get what from our interactions make that obvious.
I also think his 'just finishing iso'ing' us part is pretty convenient timing.
But then he goes on to have a town read on dgb after the first bit which is also just weird.

It's like hey lets lynch one direction and I can just say they sucked and no one will notice my shitty reason for jumping on the wagon. (I think he's easily the worst vote. While I dislike om and dram's votes I don't find them scummy. Om's following up something from before and I had a townread on Dram independant of this stuff.

A few more thoughts but I won't be around much because I have a date tonight:

* Katsuki is probably town, which flies in the face of my usual theory that he lurks like a motherfucker as town and only posts as scum. Hear me out--- He never freaking buddies me as scum. He even buddied me a bit in the hydra QT, figuring I'd never see it. However, I believe Kats is confident enough in his Fate-read that he thinks Fate is scum.

* At least one or two scum lies among the lurkmass and is eagerly watching the town tear itself apart. Every scumteam has at least one kdowns.

* I don't know if Fate / Nuwen scum would have posted that QT if they felt the evidence in it was incriminating.

* Om is probably town, too. His frequent spammy posting just reeks of the kinda unfettered freedom that comes with not having a scum PM.

I have a handful of other thoughts, but they're staying with me for now.

Have you read the QT? I think it's pretty obvious I've at least posted lots of content there, how do you still maintain your argument of me being 'useless'. What do you think of my case on DGB?

The thing I think is scummy about Zoidy is that he never follows through with his questions. He just asks them a lot and never does anything with them. It's just fake content.

PEDIT: Some of your posts in the QT are still kinda useless, but arguably less so. I just don't get any townvibes from those posts. Also let me read your case on DGB again, then I'll comment.

The QT makes it clear that Fate's description of what was going on was basically accurate. There's no way that that entire mentality came from town. The next step is to identify which hydra is scum.

TownKatsuki actually faked an (inaccurate) guilty on me once as town, so I can imagine Katsuki just being a mean asshat town player with an inflated opinion of his own skill. I don't know if CHESSKID has ever done or contemplated something so stupid as town, but he has the kind of ego where I wouldn't totally put it past him.

TownFaraday would not have let that happen, let alone propose it, and if he meant the proposal as a joke (regardless of alignment), as town he would have stopped it before things got out of hand. The fact that he let it go like that totally changes my read. I think he's the most likely hydra scum.

Vote: One Direction

Is it? I tend to ignore people voting on the wagon I want and not ignore them when they vote me.

Let

happen? Nothing came of it? (Also Scum!Faraday wouldn't propose that and you should actually know that)

yeh. fluff posting is not, nor has it ever been a valid scumtell. and i will argue that until the day i die.

and for OM to call someone else out for making a few "useless" posts? oh for fucks sake.

I know, I'm not going to push you for fluffing it up in the QT, since I tend to fluff as well. I just think you've not posted much content in the thread until DGB actually pushed you.

PEDIT: Hey, I was getting to that :P

I think we have different definitions of content.

Also considering I play to endgame people as scum don't you think my scum self would be a little more self conscious than that? I think you're literally putting in the wrong alignments for me here and conflating what I'd do as scum/as town.

I'm shocked that ANY Faraday would propose or support it, but you did. Before seeing the QT, I had assumed that someone else mentioned it and you just kinda sidelined. But you're in fact the first person to propose it if I'm reading correctly.

I think the proposal itself is pretty null with respect to your alignment, though I could possibly see townFaraday suggesting it as a joke. The scummy part is that you didn't tamp things down when people (mostly Kawaii and CHESSKID) kept taking it seriously (all in the QT).

And yeah, nothing came of it, but only because Fate claimed it in the thread.

No, nothing came of it because we didn't actively seek to do it and/or post it in the thread because my read wasn't strong enough to actually support a fake result. It's not like it resulted in some sort of 'bad thing' happening, it didn't go
too far
because basically nothing came of it.

I mean, sure if you think it's weird. It's not something I'd usually say as town at all, but it's something I'd never say as scum. I don't need to change my scum game, it's perfectly fine as is. I just wouldn't state something like
that
as scum unless I was desperate, or something.

I mean do you think there's any actual point where fate WOULDN'T have claimed it in the thread? What do you think I expected to get out of it as scum? Fate dead? If I was that afraid of him I'd just night kill him?

I can agree with this.

Or you can kill me. Either works. Day, night, whenever.

Isn't genuine, either.
I don't see why it has to sound genuine.
I think her Wyrd townread is faked too. It came before they'd posted any content in the thread, I think she just picked town townread the largest wagon. Iec asked if it was a Wyrd unvote or a DGB vote and it was a bit of both, I felt really uncomfortable with DGB's defense of Wyrd at the time and have been questioning Fate about it in the QT but he doesn't seem to give a fuck. Wyrd look kind of towny in what they're posting recently but I don't see the earlytown read on Fate as being something plausible for DGB to have.
I think you're focusing too much on his posting and not on the fact that a fucking quickwagon developed on him and almost got to lynch within the span of one page after he had posted like 3 times.

I can't see townies agreeing to do this... I bet there are a lot of scum in the QT. Om is being facetious (I think), but he might not be all that far from the truth. Maybe some townies will be swayed by the will of a majority, but that does sound a lot more than a scum plan than a townie plan.

Also this is a seriously terrible post. 'I can't see townies agreeign to do this' is just straight up stupid and a lie. You don't think townies would take a means to communicate and try and run gambits outside of the thread? To try and get better reads on people as a result? Why the hell not? What about keeping it secret and using it as LEGION makes it a scum plan?
I'm in the middle here, what DGB is saying does sound kinda dumb, but I can see where she's getting her concern from. I figure it's kinda odd for people to be working together, unbeknownst to the rest of the town. It seems kinda shady but in context it isn't really.

Okay I'm just going to stop here and say hey you were right maybe DGB shouldn't be trusted after all. Since frankly, I can really see where you're coming from now, and DGB wasn't a strong townread for me anyway (the reason why I was fine jumping on your wagon was because I didn't have a townread on you at all).
UNVOTE:
Let me decide where I'll put my vote after doing some ISOs.

(btw me stopping was totally because I didn't know how to respond to the point after the last one I quoted.)

Well, what I meant is it sounds like a comment supposed to draw town vibes or some shit because townies post whatever and don't think things through, but like this seems a calculated way too appear uncaring. If...that makes sense.

There are other people voting OD Om, dont let the fairies influence you.

@Anyone saying Dreaming God is a bad scum claim: "Oh I do stuff randomly, I dont know what happens with my action, whoops I killed someone silly me!". Dreaming God is only the single easiest escape hatch as scum because you can disengage yourself from any action <_<

Ah, I see what you mean.

PEDIT: A lot of the non-DGB reasons for voting OD all seem to include lack of usefulness in posts. If I thought that and still managed to be convinced otherwise then I don't see why I should still be on the wagon for everyone else.

Hmm. It's hard to say you're wrong but I guess I don't know if I buy DGB using that as a reason? I think quickwagon=town wagon is kind of untrue based on my experience.

the manner they claimed it + sought help was pretty town (and given they said they'd a load of films (did they claim how many? idr) we'd have to see some sort of noticable effect on someone or i'd be slightly incredulous. Bad scum claim in this instance I think?)

Unless there's a tracker stuck on their ass 24/7 they could claim any weird thing as their own doing though.
They gave a number indeed, dont remember what. Something like 13?
I mean this is null in regards to their alignment, but as far as townlock claims go I wouldnt count Dreaming God.
