Why this soft of a response here, when, when I called you out on something similar in Tales of You (your response to AP's entrance from AG in Tales being the same across both games) you responded more pointedly?In post 2252, mastin2 wrote:I suppose this in particular is also setting off alarm bells.
I'm displaying a trend, quite strongly, that you perceived in Anything Goes. Not only is the trend similar, but virtually identical, in that you have a confirmed role yet I'm thinking you're scum in spite of that. The timing's even the same: not pushing you yesterday (two days before lylo/mylo), but pushing you the day before lylo/mylo with a self-admitted backup-plan of sorts. (It should be fairly obvious that a scuMastin is going to set up an Aegor/PA lylo. Because if PA continues to townread me, it'd lead to victory, and if not, if she voted me, then a scuMastin would gamble on paranoia that she's not conftown and plead to Aegor about it, pointing out the town trends and emphasizing all the town things I've done.
Oh. And did I mention the waffling, under the guise of paranoia? That, too.)
And yet, in spite of that...I'm just a possibility? Even your language usage is implying that you think I'm faking stuff. ("quit the charade" is not a phrase you mutter to a town player often, yaknow.) Aegor's at the top of the list, in spite of the fact that by all reasonable accounts, you should be having me as much more than just a possibility. Why so little focus on me? Why just default to Aegor? Like, you said why you haven't bothered sorting me...but why not, when I've shown what to you should be a red flag warning sign?
I don't understand it coming from a town-you. I can't see how, not even in apathy, you'd just casually think, "eh, Mastin may be scum"...
...ESPECIALLY knowing my skill as a scum player. If the possibility existed for me being scum, why instantly just place Aegor above me when simply put, Aegor's not nearly as competent a scum player as I am? When leaving a scuMastin alive a day could spell the town's death? What makes Aegor that strong a read, and me such an insignificant one?
I don't get it.
Umm...I replaced in day four, not day one?In post 2262, BROseidon wrote:Why would AD get killed N1? He had 26 posts, and scum either figured out he was a PR, or his death strongly implies that mastin is the last scum.
Not that it'd make much of a difference. (Aside from the remote chance of PA being scum. If that were the case, I'd have LOVED to be in her spot instead of mine. ) All it'd really do is make me inclined to think SMP's result on zMuffinman (my slot) makes my slot town a bit, which I'd be thinking anyway off of the play of the slot, and me having PA's slot and knowing them to be town, would be left...In post 2269, BROseidon wrote:I wish mastin and penguin replaced into the opposite slots. Is it too late to have this happen?

(As if we needed more proof BROseidon was town, this is a fairly huge townslip.)

Made much stronger her. For either Aegor or PA to be scum, both scum would have to be bussing what is near-assuredly their strongest PR. I'll need to check this out in-context, but it makes much more sense for the scum to be looking for ways to save their scumbuddy. HKC putting the wagon to L-1 for instance can be a deterrent from lynching the player in question, while the other two scum could focus elsewhere.

Sure enough, wagon disintegrates. Jake(PA) and my slot rise as alternatives. Of note is that Aegor and Jake are remnants on the SMP wagon...which again, is not a trend I'd expect from actual-scum.In post 625, borkjerfkin wrote:[3] Jake From State Farm (sangres, HighShroomish,Hello Kitty Creampuff)

And sure enough, Mac jumps onto Jake to push it into the lead. Which is particularly important given that HKC is another wagon, and SMP hasn't completely disintegrated as a wagon yet.

Bam. It's gone. We get competing wagons. With a guarantee of two scum on HighShroomish, and HKC on Kdub. They really didn't care which got lynched. So long as it wasn't SMP.In post 1116, borkjerfkin wrote:[6] HighShroomish (Kdub, SMP, Aegor, PhDScar, Mac, Jake From State Farm)

Now, obviously. It was a quicklynch. Obviously, there was a guilty more or less. Obviously, HKC swapped back on because of a desire to cut the day short.

This is where I mark the beginning of cohesion of the day. Again note that for Jake/PA and HKC to be scum, they've basically got to require bad blood throughout the whole game, likely reflected in a scum QT, which I somewhat-doubt.In post 1600, borkjerfkin wrote:[3] Mac (Antihero, Jake From State Farm, Aegor)

I'm not sure if it works in Mac's favor or detriment that his wagon falls apart for the HKC wagon. Aegor's position on it looks good, though. Him being scum requires him to have been bussing fairly heavily. Granted, he hopped off and onto Mac, and the HKC wagon fell apart after that, and the two were dueling wagons for a majority of the day, but still...In post 1645, borkjerfkin wrote:[3]Hello Kitty Creampuff(Squirrel Girl, Aegor, Jake From State Farm)

This is a serious Jake wagon, not a joke. HKC wanted a Jake lynch. (Evidence for PA being town.) Which vaguely points to not wanting to be on the Mac wagon. Why?In post 1776, Hello Kitty Creampuff wrote:Kdub, aegor, and mac joining this wagon would put jake at l-1 for what its worth

Which this could be invoked to do. Rather than being the serious self advocating for a Jake lynch or defending Mac, it's casual, as if thrown out there to stir reactions.

Something in this phrasing doesn't feel town. I'm not sure how to explain it, but basically, if feels as if a town-Mac would say something like "I don't see the day ending with any lynch other than my own", because there'd be a tomorrow with a town-Mac dead; a scuMac ends the game, thus, not optimistic about chances. It's a phrasing thing, vaguely mindset-relevant. It's not a strong tell, but it did ping.In post 2280, Mac wrote:Will try and get on before deadline but I'm not optimistic about my chances.
Not sure how to describe this one, either, but it vaguely felt dismissive, if that makes sense.

Just realized that for pointing out my non-commital to a read on him, his read on me here was...fairly non-commital.
