And now I am complete

[Infinity 324]

pun and punpun are giving new meaning to the term "scum theater", I'm kinda digging it honestly

[punpun]

gonna be real it feels like our elim is trying to get pushed through super quick now in the face of a claim without any analysis and that there are super flimsy reasons to disregard it but ya know.

and thank you, infinity.

now i must return to the lake... (saltwater by the way because we're a BUNYIP!!)

~punpun

[punpun]

damn, you nearly sniped my pagetop there lol

I think we're inventing some kind of messed up town theater

relish it, drink it in

I also never see the character called a bunyip on the fan wiki

https://the-shape-of-water.fandom.com/w ... ibian_Man)

Apparently the main character is some Amazon River god while a bunyip is an aboriginal myth.

I don’t see the Shape of Water in this list of pop culture references either
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyip

So I don’t even know where you’re getting Bunyip from.

[Alchemist21]

Holy shit it’s an actual boon role

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... Toonz_Game

I stand corrected about the legitimacy of the claim.

[Alchemist21]

Could be a fakeclaim, could be real but scum, but at least I know they got it from boon.

[Infinity 324]

Makes sense, it does say it can be any alignment so

I think they made up the part about being the main character, since we don't have flavored roles.

[Alchemist21]

They might have looked up that it’s a creature that lives in water and made that assumption.

And maybe boon did actually do that because it would be somewhat fitting

[Gamma Emerald]

OHHH the thing in the movie was a bunyip

WE ARE LITERALLY THE PROTAGONIST OF THE FILM

~pun

No it’s not wtf
Also this your claim?

I'd be willing to buy this, except...

i did not watch the shape of water to try and figure out what a bunyip was just for people not to believe us!!

Bulge, what pings you about how we converged on Alchemist?

~pun

Spoiler: posted 8 seconds apart

I dislike Creature's attitude and outlook of the game immensely, but I also think he's town for it.



Alchemist feels kinda of awkward this game. He lacks personality in his posts and he's being pretty formal/serious. I don't know if that's a scumtell for him specifically but I'm too lazy to check right now, and I think overall, it's probably a slightly scummy thing on average. Oh, also, I realise part of this is due to the way Alchemist capitalises "town" and "townread" and terms like that; I've always found that weird and scummy for some reason. I'm trying to filter that part out though and I still get the same general vibes.

VOTE: Alchemist

~pun

i am too tired to really post coherently and i should try to post at more decent times, but i still think gamma is town. as things have progress i've found myself agreeing with a lot of his thoughts on things (mostly regarding taylor who i still have a not-great feeling about, especially given her interactions with infinity. she also seems as if she's trying to disengage with pressure being placed upon her on this page which makes me even more).

pun and i talked some though and we both have the same thoughts about alchemist. my townread on him has dwindled as the game moved onward, and he feels as if his posts are stilted in a way that other people aren't. i do wonder if part of that is because it's a fairly quiet game and there's less to chew on/work with but even that feels like an issue scum would struggle with way more.

other than that, infinity has crept up my townlist more, as has derp (i like the tone of his posts). creature is extremely cranky but, like pun said, he feels town regardless.

~punpun

punhead's given reasons for voting Alchemist are

extremely

weak and I fail to see how that could ever possibly sway the other head's opinion. if you discussed your differing reads of alchemist with each other, what else did you talk about? surely there were other reasons given in private.

was intentional. we were aiming for the same second, but alas. perfection is hard to strive for.

~pun

are you going to respond or just banter about the single least consequential part of my post?

I didnt catch that before but the mocking tone in the first part doesnt really line up to me with how theyre choosing to deal with the slot in that same post

Explain why? I'm irritated with what he's saying in calling the game boring, saying it's a loss due to the playerlist etc, it's negative and anti-fun. But still, I thought it was town-indicative at the time because it draws a lot of negative attention, and scum usually aren't so bold.

~pun

it's minor but it's mostly a language thing. your tone comes off as somewhat... passionate? in the first and last lines. the "I've kinda shelved him as probtown" line sticks out to me. your feelings toward the slot don't seem genuine in that post.

All of the things you're pointing out here are towny, not scummy. "I've kinda shelved him as probtown" is just the way I talk.

~pun

what is this supposed to mean? yea, a passionate tone could very well be town-indicative on its own, but not when it is faked.

Sailor Senshi
Derp
Gamma Emerald
Alchemist21
Tayl0r Swift
Creature
Punpun
Infinity 324

I think I'm approximately here as of this page

I'm letting the other scouts handle voting tho

-merc

Weird that you have a full readlist with everyone on separate tiers already. My only read right now is that I townlean Gamma.

Explain the derp and Infinity reads.

VOTE: Sailors

~pun

Why is pun scum?

Also weird that Infinity asks about pun and not himself who's at the bottom. Why weren't you curious about yourself, Infinity?

~pun

I'm just an awkward person in general I think, I'm also trying to get the game going since it's been a bit slow so far.

VOTE: Infinity

Why was your vote on Swift naked if you were trying to get the game going?

~pun

derp you're not an alt of hewhoswims are you?

-M

no i am a terrible swimmer

this was actually pretty funny. my townlean here is just a spicy hot take off this one post, I'll need more to cement it

You think ability to be funny is something that's alignment indicative?

~pun

Want to explain why us solving and questioning people is "bad-faith questions and pushes"?

~pun

these are all reaches, each trying to poke at an inconsistency that doesn't exist.

[The Bulge]

I claim innocent child, here I crumbed it

if nothing else, referring to himself in the

third person

should have done it, but that's not important. it's the toneshift that stood out most to me.

there isn't a lot I can point to that makes you lean scum to me, i think to a certain degree i just always read you as scum.

what's up

UNVOTE:

taylor [1]

obvtown,

infinity [2]

obvtown
i could do

alchemist [3]

or gamma or punpun

Alchemist21 -> 21 legal drinking age -> sinful adult

no,

= do the opposite -> innocent child

[Infinity 324]

if there's a real doc/Neapolitan, they should counterclaim us but they don't exist most likely, so there won't be any CCs

This is just a scumclaim so

[The Bulge]

I have Aster and The Great Wall in mind. Both were pretty damn obvious scum and yet endgamed while shitting all over a widely townread me.

you know who the heads are?

[The Bulge]

I think the bad faith push this pun talked about makes sense, especially on me

where did I push you?

[Infinity 324]

641 made me lol

[The Bulge]

*shrug* we're past it

if you're not convinced, you're not convinced

if there's a real doc/Neapolitan, they should counterclaim us but they don't exist most likely, so there won't be any CCs

~pun

lmao I do actually think this is a real scumslip as well

alchemist could be bussing here. I certainly would be

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m just lolling at punpun apparently flavor claiming when our roles lacked flavor

[The Bulge]

I don't know why they'd have fakeclaims if we have no flavoured roles. my guess is they found the role on the wiki and lied about watching the movie to make it seem more fitting (I ctrl+f'd the script and found zero instances of the word 'bunyip') and maybe got carried away with that, playing up the "main character can't be scum" narrative until it evolved into the actual flavour claim they're running with.

[The Bulge]

*mod-provided fakeclaims, that is
