Just a heads up: I'm going to be out for the majority of today and all of tomorrow.
I've got a research paper to finish today, and I'll be at a conference all day tomorrow. I wanted to at least respond to Bulbazak before I go off the grid.

First off, let's understand that my intention with summarizing your ISO was to find scummy patterns, naturally. You're forced to call it BS, so I'm not really concerned with that attack.

Bulba
saur
zak was trying to get Zito lynched Day 1, but then sort of hopped over to qwints just 4 posts after voting PZ, though he continued to assert Papa Zito was scum/qwints' scumbuddy after that.
Bulbazak wrote:[1]
This is a half truth. It's true that I was voting Papa Zito prior to Qwints, and it is true that I switched 4 posts after my previous Papa Zito vote. However, you leave out that the vote in question was actually my second vote on PZ, as I had switched to Aronis earlier in the day and had then switched back after a back and forth with Muffin. There were actually a total of 21 posts between my first PZ vote (my first serious vote in the game) and my Qwints vote. There were 23 posts between my first post in the game and my Qwints vote, which is nearly a quarter of my entire ISO. There's also the matter that the Qwints vote was near deadline, meaning that it was a compromise on a more viable wagon. But do continue to try to misrepresent my d1 play as being shorter and shallower than it actually was.
I'm willing to concede that. I have no qualms with that.

He rather gave up on Papa Zito shortly after the start of Day 2 in favor of TIP.
Bulbazak wrote:[2]
TIP was a scumread I had in d1, and he made some actions on d2 that I found incredibly scummy and worth pursuing. However, I didn't just start the day out voting TIP, as you are trying to suggest. I actually started the day voting Papa Zito and moved to TIP after his subsequent actions.
I implied that you were gunning for PZ initially then switched to TIP ("shortly
after
the start of Day 2"), but whatever. TIP was an easy target.
Prof Fridays wrote:[3]
Questions a lot of Muffin's Nacho-scum claims; he seems to be upset Muffin is linking them together.
Bulbazak wrote:[3]
I had no clue how Muffin was getting his Nacho read and was inquiring into it. What's so unusual about that?
Unusual? Oh, nothing. I didn't say that was
unusual
. The real deal-breaker for me is Muffin was linking you to Nacho as scum, and you got all upset about it (which you failed to respond to), and it makes sense that your questioning of Nacho-scum was to suppress suspicion, so I'm basically agreeing with Muffin - I think his assertion is still valid.
Prof Fridays wrote:[4]
Getting real defensive with Muffin.
Bulbazak wrote:[4]
He was a scumread of mine. So, yeah.
Oh, yeah? Well, during that whole time I stated publicly that Muffin was my top town read, and it didn't seem like anyone was backing you up (certainly your scumbuddies wouldn't unless there was town support), so I'm not sure how you deduced scum-Muffin, and, in fact, you actually got a wagon going on
yourself
.
Prof Fridays wrote:[5]
Now somewhat suddenly (though explainably) on Papa Zito's side with the Nacho wagon.
Bulbazak wrote:[5]
Papa Zito made a good point, and I was more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after Muffin's huge wall post concerning me.
*shrugs*
Prof Fridays wrote:[6]
Votes TIP after Nacho's appeal. Argues that allowing Nacho an extra night would be good. Nacho is lynched anyway without Bulbazak on the wagon.
Bulbazak wrote:[6]
TIP was who I was voting before Nacho, and since Nacho had claimed a role that could possibly confirm him as town, I of course unvoted him and allowed him the room. I did not have Muffin's experience with Nacho, and regardless, it is good play. As for Nacho appealing to me, that actually points more towards him trying to manipulate me more than anything else, and it has to do with our past game experience, notably, NY 171, where he replaced in and had barely gotten to post before he was mislynched.
I saw it as a pardon from Nacho for you to defend him at that point - that, or a last-ditch attempt to make a scumbuddy look town before his inevitable death (notice he didn't really fight after that), so the argument is basically WIFOM. Also, arguing specifically for "just one more night" seems scummy to me.

Day 3 begins with another TIP vote.
Bulbazak wrote:[7]
Is it really that surprising that I'm voting my top scumread?
Again, TIP was easy.
Prof Fridays wrote:[8]
"I'm not touching an AD lynch with a 10-foot pole."
Bulbazak wrote:[8]
AD had been found to visit the claimed PGO, which is a stupid decision for scum to make. I felt that was essentially proof of him being town and MS being scum.
Or perhaps he felt like Metal Sonic was lying (as did most people, especially given BROseidon's claim), and he thought MS was trying to cover something up. Perhaps he completely forgot MS's PGO claim, since not much attention was drawn to it, really.
Prof Fridays wrote:[9]
mnemonic D3 lynch and Zito D4 lynch follow without much from Bulba.
Bulbazak wrote:[9]
I made 19 posts during those two days, which, as you recall, almost rivals the posts in d1.
Nothing much notable, anyway.
Prof Fridays wrote:[10]
All of the scum lynches were pretty much forced: Nacho's slip, talah's follow on mnemonic and his weak claim, Papa Zito's Blue Goo, and
Bulbazak wrote:[10]
How were the scum lynches forced? This seems more like complaining on your part.
What are you talking about? Like, Nacho and mnemonic were as blatantly scum as you could theoretically get from Nacho's slip and talah's follow/mnemonic's weak claim that you'd be stupid not to vote for them, and you
were
forced to vote Papa Zito Day 4 because the lynch pool came down to you and Papa Zito.
Prof Fridays wrote:[11]
Bulbazak was even not on one of those wagons.
Bulbazak wrote:[11]
Wrong! I was on every one of those wagons. I jumped off of Nacho for claim reasons, but I was on the Mnemonic wagon, and I led the Papa Zito wagon.
Did I not recognize that you were on the Nacho wagon? I wouldn't contradict myself in the same block of text; I was talking about the fact that you were not on the Nacho wagon when he was lynched.
Prof Fridays wrote:[12]
A lot of Muffin's arguments from Day 2 seem pretty valid in terms of the qwints/TIP voting patterns.
Bulbazak wrote:[12]
It looks like you're leaving out the Papa Zito voting patterns, which was a big part of his case. In fact, after PZ was lynched and flipped scum, I yelled out "Suck it Muffin!", because it essentially vindicated my reads. I was hoping I was right on TIP, but you can't have everything.
Not much to say here.
Prof Fridays wrote:[13]
Personally, I think Bulbazak is a good candidate for last scum.
Bulbazak wrote:[13]
This feels tacked on and forced.

I'm not going to need those extra votes.
Interesting that your last post said "Yep, Aronis is scum" then suddenly you've flipped to me as if this has struck a convicting chord.
I'm still not beyond Aronis' being scum, but I personally find you more scummy.
VOTE: Bulbazak
