He scumslipped in twilight. Thinking this could be scummates with mastina. fwiw I see him voting mastina there as an acknowledgement of his scumslip and it looks like they are trying to distance for damage control.
Ok, you're purposely being obtuse here. eth0s said it happened at twilight, which means end of day + the post was taking to mastina.
I stand by my stance that it doesn't look like a scumslip.
there were twenty posts by elbirn in twilight, yet you instantly singled out the one that we were talking about?
have you actually explained why you don't think it could be a scumslip
fwiw I'm not persuaded either, but why are you just asserting "nah, don't think it is" rather than trying to actually explain why you think it's not a scum slip?
In post 753, Menalque wrote:I asked you to provide justification for why people should TR you. You said "yeah, I have been scummy, but at least I'm not bothered by the fact I look scummy" as if that's actually a meaningful defence. It rings especially hollow given past experience with you: town!you is much more paranoid about people scumreading them being scum (see: EP v cinnamon in Pokemon ruby for anyone interested). Why would I not tunnel again? It's entirely plausible I'd do either, especially considering how far tunnelling got me last game. The fact that you're not even acting suspicious of me when town!you should be wondering if this might be in bad faith is you perspective slipping that you know I'm town pushing you. So instead of trying to push me back, you're trying to just sell me on town!you.
Other than that, your ISO is terrible. What have you done all game? You've done nothing. The whole ISO is filled with IIOA. You've asked a few empty questions to make it look like you're doing something, but otherwise your play has been completely devoid of substance. You asked Korina questions and then did nothing in terms of engaging with him re: the answers, you just voted him.
You have 30 posts and at best, one of them is game advancing. When you've been called on it, instead of actually scum hunting you've just made excuses. Now I'm very confident that that's newb!scum scum play because, surprise, that's exactly what I've done before and I've been caught for it too. Mastina literally caught me for the exact same thing in Can't Remember the Name of this Game, and so I can only assume she's SRing you now for the same reasons she SR me there.
Now you're trying to redirect away from yourself by getting the focus onto elements and eth0s.
I'm engaging with you while also asking about your reads. Calling that redirection is disingenuous.
The fact that you would rather attack than explain your read on eth0s or Elements is also concerning.
lmao, now that I've called you out on not being paranoid about scum!me if you were actually town, you've started doing it because you think that's the behaviour you should be showing as town
we're gonna lynch you so hard today EP

nice try, but I'd already made it pretty clear that you'd moved up to my top SR while I was reconsidering the game overnight, so even if I hadn't explicitly posted my case on you it was clearly forthcoming from my posts before your request that I drop the elements case

And honestly I'm kind of upset he jumped ship so fast but I don't really blame him or see it as a scummy move.
yeah, I'm sorry about that, I still think elbirn could be scum maybe
EP's instant identification of what the scumslip was out of like 20 posts makes me think elbirn could have realised the slip afterwards and talked about it in the PT -- like how do you notice something as being a scumslip immediately but then claim that you don't see what makes it scummy?

I have some news for you
lmao
also, adorable, could you tell me if you've played with eth0s before please?
and also @adorable, what about my play makes you think scum!me would be worried about getting on jjh's bad side?

@eth0s you're going to be vital in me proving my claim btw. You probably know why.
literally, have I done anything to make you think this is not a serious push?
ffs. Can you just put some effort into the game instead of jumping straight into a claim when you haven't given people a reason to like you
Point taken.
Ok here's what I've got. I admittedly haven't been as obvtown as I normally am, but if you look at my ISO, you'll see natural progressions on reads + a good faith effort to sort the Korina fiasco.
If you look at TL, on the other hand, you see inconsistent reasons for voting Korina. At one point he votes for jjh saying a flub=/= scum claim, but then he later says the flub makes Korina look like he was flailing.
Then when you add in the fact that TL just hopped on my bandwagon and has deflected my most recent question, you have yourself a strong case on TL trying to set up mislynches.
VOTE: TL
where are these natural progressions? show me the posts. show me the progressions.
where is the good faith attempt to sort Korina? I see you ask him four questions that he answers, not do anything with those answers, and then vote him.

Friendly reminder to everyone that EP's early play is likely more AI than his play here.
scum under pressure are of course going to try and look like they're sorting/solving when we're headed towards lynching them. everything I mentioned about EP's early game being atrocious is still true, and about it being out of character for town!him in a major way
also he's misrepping about his early day content to try and make himself look townier. look at how he actually interacts with kori. there is not a good faith effort there to sort. where are the natural progressions he's talking about?
seriously, show me where they are and I'll reconsider
but you can't, because they don't exist, and you're trying to fabricate them because you're scum who's under pressure to come up with something or get lynched

feeling really uninterested in the EP wagon unless a certain thing happens. That's not to say I won't eventually vote for him I don't feel comfortable moving my vote yet. I like what Mena is saying though.

There's a difference between identifying a post that someone thinks might be a slip + deciding if that post is in fact a slip. I have done the former, but disagree on the latter.
You're conflating the two and basing some of your scum!EP case on my ability to read the thread and process posts contextually.
ffs. Can you just put some effort into the game instead of jumping straight into a claim when you haven't given people a reason to like you

Can you honestly say that my vote on Korina looks less genuine than TL? You're lying to yourself if you do.

Yeah, that would be why momo is a townread.
Gamma didn't notice that momo was absent. If momo was scum, then his scumbuddies would've told the mod about his absence, asking for him to be replaced. Gamma not having done so is evidence that momo is probably lacking said scumbuddies.
Not gonna lie I checked the player list when ethos posted 602 and I still had no idea what he was talking about momo is so ghost
I guess I'll take a free conf-town in exchange for whatever the hell korina did today
My interpretation of this post:
He's saying that everyone not realizing momo is afk means she's likely not scum. If she were scum, the mod (Gamma) would have been notified by momo's scum buddies.
I believe ppl who think it's a scumslip are misinterpreting what he means by "free conf-town." They're likely thinking he means a free lynch on conf!town Korina, but if you read the whole post, you'll see that the implication of his post is that he's happy momo is now conf!town.

My interpretation of the slip was that he knew Korina was town but I haven’t read into the context

And I don't understand why you are questioning whether the push is serious or not when you were just wanting to claim your role after a few votes
