IMP MAFIA - TOWN VICTORY

[Shadoweh]

It's hard to get a bead on someone else when someone is being so blatantly scummy to your face. Oh, I think Affinity is kinda scummy. :VVVVV I suspect one of the confused 'rookies' that I literally can't read is scum but I have no idea which one.

Rawr, less waiting around, more doing things please. Ignore then men behind the black curtain.

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

Is that suposed to link to me nameclaiming? It links to Serela randomly saying stuff. I do not retract the question!

posts per page differences i....

No, it was a link to you telling people not to ask about your nameclaim. What makes you assume other people are different?

Also, if you're not counting Hero, then the scum "rookie" is obv Rawr, only he's probably town because I'm bad at gut unless I'm Kaa. I need to give him a re-read, I think.

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

I think that what bugs me about Rawr is that he's been making remarks about deadline panic when he himself has not had a very strong presence pushing for any case today. Seems somewhat hypocritical and could possibly be fake townie concern.

Rawr, if you had to move your vote to somebody else then who would it be? Also, why do you think other people should vote with you on Maav?

[Dr Rawr]

Why im worried? its because hero999 actiondan px headcrabs and maav seemed to have disappeared or do not contribute?

Why Maav? because hes been actively lurking and avoiding people questions. That and his posts just dont make any sense to me....

Who besides maav? id have to split it between px and hero999. px kneejerk vote and all of a sudden saying shadowej is town seems off to me. hero999 trying to back up his joke vote seems really odd to me. If it came down to either id vote hero999.

[Dr Rawr]

Also its really hard to push a case on someone who hasnt really posted much or answered anyones questions

[Affinity]

But anyways, the point is they didn't do all of these things in conjunction and or were doing other things that give me a town read to them.  Just because I hold these reasons against him doesn't mean it should end all be all who I'm going to fos because scum can easily dodge me if that were the case.

You have not shown how these things are scummy only when done in conjunction, but pardonable when done singularly.

Not liking most of Bardiche's vote on BT, since I'm not seeing how BT's vote for Serela is any more easy than everyone else's vote on Hero for 'active lurking' and 'not having a solid vote' and how his reasonable blurbs on Schezo and him exude fakery.  In general, the reasons he has for voting BT are not exclusive to him (e.g Dormio has prodded lurkers too, and Shadoweh has jumped off Schezo too due to good vibes).  His vote on him can only be seen as baffling for the same reasons Schezo's is baffling; this 1+1+1+1 = scummy scumhunting.

There's also the question; if Bardiche thinks Hero is worthy of a lynch solely due to active lurking, then why exactly does huhwhat earn scrutiny for having weak reasons in voting Hero?  Just an example of how I think Bard's scumhunting and vote is full of holes;  I wouldn't mind lynching him today.

For me, if it had to come down between lynching Dan or Hero, I would go for lynching Hero as of now for being a liability and being absolutely opaque with his intentions(sorry for being so upfront).  Given that I liked PX's side during the PX-Dormio spat, and that I find Schezo scummy too, I prefer lynching Dan the least.  Schezo and Bardiche are my top picks for today.

[Serela]

k so I'm leaving for at least 15 hours of trip now

see you hopefully before deadline but I'm not sure :C

[Shadoweh]

Also its really hard to push a case on someone who hasnt really posted much or answered anyones questions

"This person is not posting much and when he does post he's not answering anyone's questions."
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THAT I MADE A CASE. i'm such a genius. WHY AREN'T YOU VOTING HERO999 YET?

Wow time flies when you're having fun. Let's see some consolidation up in this house peeps. I'm assuming Dan got kidnapped by parents aliens and Chaore should be asking Conqueror someone if they're ready to replace in if they have to. Headcrabs for god's sake put a vote down. We're already down people. Who do you think is scum? Vote for them!

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

@Rawr: It was a rhetorical question, but whatever.

Anyway, whilst Dan isn't here, might as well post thoughts about the rest of the game.

Dislike Hero, herdcarbs, Serela and Maav for all being useless.
Dislike Rawr too, but his latest post has something, at least.

@Hero: Let me just ask you one more time, who is scum to you? Because all your posts are setup speculation/fluff. Your latest post (#169) has something that looks like an opinion, but on a proper read, it turns out that it's just defending yourself with a (poor) attack on Huh What thrown in.
You poke at Maav for not giving any reasons behind his vote (#133), but what about you? You don't even have a vote to give reasoning for.

@herdcarbs: What is this I don't even. Seriously, what?
I can't even begin to make heads or tails of what you're doing. And I don't like that.

@Serela: Instead of just :popcorn: and watching shit happen, why don't you do that thing where you post your opinions and search for scum?
I don't care how bad your D1 is, at least give us your thought process. Because, you know, that whole "either PX and Schezo are scum for I don't know" (#135) leaves out a rather important part. The whole how you got there. That's important. Just saying.
Simply reporting what's going in the thread (#145) is not good either.
While I'm at it, what's up with you rolefishing herdcarbs after talking at length about how you thought that the whole softclaim business was stupid?
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Bah.

@Maav: I really dunno.

Basically, to sum about these people, I would have to say that I dislike Serela and Hero, Serela moreso than Hero.

Anyway, I'll try to make another post about everyone else when I'm done with laundry.

[ActionDan]

I'm Here.  And will probably miss classes tomorrow to stay up.

[Bardiche]

How come I'm not surprised I'm Affinity's top 2 after saying I get bad feelings from Affinity? The argument seems more of questioning a playstyle and dropping broad accusations rather than pointedly saying things. If I am someone you'd like to see lynched above all else save Schezo, I imagine your argument can be more tight than that.

I fail to see what Shadoweh's jump off of Schezo has to do with BT: BT clearly states he finds both Schezo and Shadoweh worthy of mention as scummy, but it is not clear why he sticks to Serela and votes Serela for the exact same reasons Serela is voted every game: being annoying and self-depreciative. His mentions of Schezo and Shadoweh are off-hand and he does not make clear what is scummy about either of them. He could easily backpedal on either of them and not lose any investment in the cases, since he has little by this point. (Unless you expect him to brush up his initial vote on Schezo from the early game, which I would not accept at this juncture)

Similarly, that I find Hero should be lynched for active lurking has nothing to do with disliking Huh What's justification that Hero is "buddying" to someone by having similar reasons.

Where exactly am I accusing BT of "reasonable blurbs about Schezo and him exuding fakery"?

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Still waiting on that response from Dan. Any second now...

In respects to Affinity, let's see here.
First of all, I didn't really like the defence of PX (#87). Why did you feel the need to answer for him like that?
As mentioned before by other people, bringing the focus to 4/14 players early in the game is kind of a thing. His rationale for it is that the other people could be addressed later, but I don't see why people can't look at the entire game.
In addition to this, for someone who wants to focus on those four players (Me, Dan, PX, Schezo), Affinity doesn't really have all that much of an opinion on 3/4 of them. He writes off PX and I as null, and only mentions Dan when referring to Schezo's case.
It was you who said in Path of Radiance to me that focussing only on one person at a time is a great scum position, wasn't it? Since you can jump onto whatever you want afterwards. :V

[Hero999]

HI HERO YOU DO REMEMBER YOU'RE VOTING FOR ME RIGHT?
When it comes to voting you right now I'm DeAd mOtHeRfUcKiNg sErIoUs aNd sHiT. You're asking questions to try and sound like you're looking for answers because you have no idea what to say. As scum. Your questions don't have anything to do with pursuing scum suspects, you're only asking why people are attacking you. Because that's all you're interested in. As scum.

HI SHADOWEH I NEVER ACTUALLY STATED IT WAS SERIOUS. ARE IN DANGER OF GETTING LYNCH? NO SO WHY ARE YOU SO FOCUSED ON THAT SINGLE VOTE? ITS NOT LIKE ITS NEAR THE END OF D1!

Anyways I think you misunderstood what I meant in the second quote.
Your also saying this shit about TOWNIES ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND ASK ABOUT.

and where the did I ask people about why they were voting me?
I'm asking where they are pulling the information from. One is clarification, the other is just overreaction.
I still don't see how you get your confidence of how I'm scum.

You know, I was going to post earlier, but you know, the thread got locked so I went fuck it and went to sleep.
Just dropping this in and making another post.

[Hero999]

@Shadoweh: In post 240 you're practically just fluffing around now. "Oh I think affinity is a kinda scummy"
So you are saying you have suspicions on other people but you are completely willing to not bother with it at all until I'm dead.
Which I read as you are not bothering to search for other scum and riding the wave.

If I am so blatantly scummy. Why the hell are you not searching for others?

If I am so blatantly scummy, why are you seemingly "unable" to search at others?
I feel as if you are just throwing bullshit out now to answer questions.


##Unvote

[Hero999]

(Apparently I work best in the mornings. Even though I should be doing my Homework right now.)

@Shadoweh: Another question,In post 220 Why are you applying your own meta to yourself? Is it because you want people to think that?

@Headcrabs: I have no idea what you're doing besides "I DON'T LIKE YOU" "SO I DID SOMETHING AND SOMETHING" to Schezo.
When the thread got locked, I assume Schezo was killed, but it reopened by morning with nothing happening.

On the Dan wagon, I can see where Schezo was coming from in post 97
Not sure about the circumstances but ActionDan's long disappearance aside from posting to avoid prods does not do him any good either. I can support a Dan lynch.

Screw it Homework time.

[Shadoweh]

oh hero posted!
BETTER CHECK TO SEE IF IT'S A TOWNIE POST
lol nope lynch with fire kthx
MY KEYBOARD IS BEING AS TSUN AS BARDICHE SO THAT'LL BE A FUN THING

I like how at least three people have commented on why your vote was bad (hint it has nothing to do with me being paranoid about being lynched) yet you answer it by accusing me of being terrified of your pitiful vote with no backing. Of course I'm not in danger of being lynched, I'm fucking obvtown. You're very discreetly trying to say you were voteparking on me and have no reason for it.

I've said that there's no one I find as suspicious as you to the point that I'm threatening to no-lynch rather then switch from you. How does that sound like I have other suspicions? I like your 'other scum' comment. It sounds like you mean 'scum besides yourself'.

@Shadoweh: In post 240 you're practically just fluffing around now. "Oh I think affinity is a kinda scummy"

thatsthejoke.jpg

If I am so blatantly scummy. Why the hell are you not searching for others?

This is a dumb question.

If I am so blatantly scummy, why are you seemingly "unable" to search at others?

This is the same question asked in a different way. It's also a question that I answered already and you never needed to ask.

I feel as if you are just throwing bullshit out now to answer questions.

I think you're mistaking my name for Hero999.

It's ingenious how Hero manages to word the same thing four different ways to fluff up his posts. I can't believe there are people not voting for him right now.

I have (♥) on PX, Dormio, Bardiche, huh what, and Schezo, I have reasonable (♦) on Serela and BT and I have smouldering (♠) for Hero999. Everyone else is null so far. Normally I would be willing to lynch anyone null. Today however, I only one one true (♠) and his name is Hero999.

Cut: OH BOY MORE THINGS TO TEAR APART. it must be my birthday.
I think you mean 'Why am I talking about my own meta'. It's an observation on how I think I act. Do you think this is scummy? I think if you did you wouldn't phrase it  as a question!
So that thing that Headcrabs did, do you think it's scummy? You just say you don't know what he's doing.
OH YOU'D SUPPORT YOUR ONLY RELIABLE COUNTERWAGON BECAUSE SCHEZO SAID SO?! how did i ever doubt you!

VOTE HERO999 FOR SCUMPRESIDENT

[Hero999]

Why the hell are you stating how you act then?
SO you can trick people when you decide not to act like that?

And you know what you never actually answered the "dumb" question
All you did was call it dumb.
You are practically just lazying around with me being a set target.
The whole point of the question is If I'm practically a confirmed scum for now, why the hell are you not searching for others?
There should be sufficient information for YOU to have made at least two reads.

[Shadoweh]

Because I want people to look at me, the same way I look at each of them, and realize this is not the half-asleep scum they've played against. It's a little insulting for anyone to compare me when I'm trying to when I'm barely reading. Both when I'm town and when I'm scum. I'm trying to be helpful, in a way that I know has been beneficial to me to look at.

It's a dumb question because it  both answers itself and one point has nothing to do with the other. Why would I be looking for other suspects because you're so obviously scummy? You're RIGHT THERE. I have every reason to concentrate on getting you lynched if I believe this strongly that you're caught.

Everyone who has ever called me lazy has been scum. So I'll just tack that onto the case.

Look, everyone who is not Hero999, I know I've pulled alot of shenanigans in the past. I've ramped up lynches for fun and profit and because I had a funny feeling about someone. This is not one of those times. There are two facts about Hero's posts that make him scum when you put them together. 1) He doesn't have any reads. 2) He's trying really hard to look like he does. This dishonesty is the crux of the scum condition. His questions are dishonest and he never does anything with the answers he's given, or even seem to notice they were answered. He draws no conclusions about the people he's questioned. He's just posting to make noise because not posting would get him modkilled. He. Is. Scum.

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

as you can see, i have mastered the art of killing people without actually killing them. i may have even killed the scum inside Schezo. one might call it a mafia exorcism. he is now purged of his filth

shadoweh, are you willing to die day two if hero isn't scum?
are you willing to step up to the plate and live up to your words

[Hero999]

Sure I accused you of lazy, that is exactly how I felt about the post I pointed out.
I don't care if everyone before me who called you lazy is scum. I don't even need to know that.

"He is just posting to make noise because not posting would get him modkilled."
You can say the same for Dan.
You can say the same for Crabs.

ON that note what the fuck do you mean modkilled? Do you have some kind of weird information where you can mod kill anyone that gets a prod?
I'm practically in the game and not at the same time.

Why shouldn't you be looking for others?
Because if I am so blatantly scummy you wouldn't need so much effort to get me lynched.
Its like saying You found a suspect, but you will only chase him and not try find out where his buddies are.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

We have 14.5 hours left.
I wish I had multiple vig shots to get rid of all the lurkers.
Whatever, ShadowehxHero action is going on.

I do think that Hero brings up a good point when he asks who else you think is scum, Shadoweh.
Who do you suspect outside of Hero?

The same question for Hero. Who do you think is scum outside of Shadoweh?

[Affinity]

I fail to see what Shadoweh's jump off of Schezo has to do with BT: BT clearly states he finds both Schezo and Shadoweh worthy of mention as scummy, but it is not clear why he sticks to Serela and votes Serela for the exact same reasons Serela is voted every game: being annoying and self-depreciative.

Shadoweh's explanation for jumping off Schezo here can be summarized as getting town vibes from him; she also went onto Hero999 without being clear on why Schezo became less scummy.  Now, I personally am more or less fine with this, but why did you choose to vote after BT when Shadoweh had done more or less the same thing?  I'm sure Hero999 was an easy enough target to go for given that he was active lurking the most.  This also goes for you commenting offhand about BT prodding lurkers (which other people have done).  It is selective scumhunting without reasons exclusive to BT, which strikes me as trying to have an original opinion but not quite hitting the quality mark.

You also said that he 'pretended' to keep an active check on active players, which is strange no matter if you are referring to his chasing after lurkers or his opinions on you, Schezo and Shadoweh.

===

As for Dormio, I defended PX because I thought what huhwhat and Schezo were pushing on him were potentially scummy with regards to the 'kneejerk' thing.  Turns out that it is somewhat so for Schezo's case.

Not so sure why Shadoweh is antagonizing Hero like this.  We get the crux of the case and agree with it; no need to push it to the extent you are doing now.

[Schezo]

Gee Affinity's post above me gives him a lot of leeway on what he's saying.

As for Dormio, I defended PX because I thought what huhwhat and Schezo were pushing on him were potentially scummy with regards to the 'kneejerk' thing.  Turns out that it is somewhat so for Schezo's case.

I wasn't even sure this was a shot at me the first time I read it but you're just passively attacking me.
I'm half tempted to just discount it since its additive hunting which he accused me of earlier.   The PX thing happened long enough ago that he's content to pin it on me now for the sake of having "fresh reasons" to give on me every time he posts.

And Dan still hasn't posted which is indirectly going to ward the lynch off him and pretty much reward him for lurking. Yay.
No one else is going to vote him it seems since a case made in the first 24 hours isn't enough to lynch but bet that I don't nail this into the ground tomorrow.

I pick Hero as second scum then if no one will take the Dan lynch.

[ActionDan]

So at this point I firmly believe Serela, HuhWhat and Shadoweh are town.

Serela claimed unforced that his ability contained negative utility which shows he gives a shit about the town by simply warning of the possibly of his death (which would hurt town due to the loss of a townie).  Similarly Hw's validation of Serela's claim through his own and his dialogue with me on these topics should make most people realize that Hw is active in engaging in his surroundings.  Also he makes sense.  Shadoweh is town for picking up town reads on Serela + Huhwhat and in general getting town to focus in the right directions.  [Btw, I'd argue that I'm obvious town by these same interations]

The towniness simply shines through every single post all of them make. 

Hero is scum.  I understand completely why Shadoweh is painting a red target on him. 

At the moment Hero is genuinely flailing, in which attempting to get Shadoweh to open her eyes and look for "other scum reads" is nothing more than crude deflection.  I don't believe he has yet to explain what "this feeling" he gets about me from reading Schezo's "words" is... which is as close to an independant thought as he ever comes.  That he left his vote on Shadoweh is not as important for it being on Shadoweh in particular than it is as a vote-park.  That is, Hero probably forgot that his vote is a weapon to hunt for scum.  I think his recent anger is simply an expression of this alone, in that he is angry that Shadoweh thinks Hero was out to get her (see: "IT WAS TOTALLY NOT A SERIOUS VOTE!)  That doesn't change Hero not scum-hunting in the first place. 

I think he slipped before with the discussion of true claims.  Considering my Pm, I highly doubt Hero found it after having to reread his role.  It's also kinda one of those those things were you see your ROLE NAME.  Considering he knew these existed, I sensed he had potentially long scum flavor and some sort of sample town role pm which might include the formatting for a true-claim.

##Unvote
##Vote Hero

I think Schezo is a crackpot with his turd of a case.  Everytime I reread the thread I wanted to claw at his guts.   

That said I am thinking Bard is scummier than Schezo and I'll put this into words shortly.  (Also Schezo voting for Hero is pro-town)

Other town people but not as confirmed town as HW/Serela/Shadoweh:  BT, Affinity (I was debating this read, but calling Schezo and Bard's scumhunting methods "1+1+1" is true for Schezo certainly and is applicable to Bard's BT case), Dormio (doesn't sit on his hands while his vote is on me, yet constantly bringing my name up shows he has a geniune vested interest in my response to the case he made on me).   Possible additions to town list: Headcrabs, Maav, Px.

[Affinity]

The PX thing happened long enough ago that he's content to pin it on me now for the sake of having "fresh reasons" to give on me every time he posts.

Why would I be passively attacking you when I'm already actively attacking you?  I pinned it a long time ago here.  It's not additive scumhunting since that touch-and-go on PX goes well with your ? switch from him onto Dan as a case.

Pretty fine with moving onto Hero999, if I cannot have my other two lynches, especially for his reactive scumhunting (I'm focusing on only you Shadoweh, why are you only focusing on me?  Oh headcrabs is lurking and scummy.)  So...

[Schezo]

Boy am I glad you didn't come back and make a town post to make me look stupid.

While clearing Serela over role shenanigans which is weak and Huh What over being active and engaging is nice they are weak town reads per say because scum can easily fake them but they're your reads so whatever don't try to force them on me by saying most people should think X is town. I'll think that when I'm ready.
The problem I have with this is you seem to be using it just to give yourself some town credit. It would have been fine if you just posted your town reads and why but you had to add the [] part which is lolno.

Dans Hero case was fine until this BS started:

I think he slipped before with the discussion of true claims.  Considering my Pm, I highly doubt Hero found it after having to reread his role.  It's also kinda one of those those things were you see your ROLE NAME.  Considering he knew these existed, I sensed he had potentially long scum flavor and some sort of sample town role pm which might include the formatting for a true-claim.

Because I'm going to say it once again my PM had none of the details what so ever that most of you all started the day yammering about.  And calling Hero bad for it is why I don't feel comfortable on this wagon because my scum suspects are getting on in less than desirable ways.

But you finishing with saying I indirectly have been sitting on my ass all day and not showing interst in trying to kill you is pretty laughable when I've been waiting for you all day.  I've if you're going to start that I've only talked about you all day, you better go reread because that's also lolno.

Hrrrn. Hero claim please.

[BT]

You have reminded me of something I want to ask BT: Why did you randomly name claim?

I find it ironic that... *notices HW's #236* Oh. Hi5.

I find BT scummy for latching onto an all-too-easy case.

'Latching' implies that I've stuck to that case for who knows how long, which is hardly the case at all. This is also where your 'tunneling' accusation comes from, which is almost the same thing and is wrong for the same reason. Also, there's the whole point that I could have easily gone for an easier case, were I looking for one. Hero was awkward, Maav was scumhunting badly, not to mention how Serela is widely considered town (and was considered town even then). Point being, this is just a bad attempt at twisting the rationale behind my vote.

He is pursuing an obvious problem, which is present at each game, and pretends this is so novel all else deserves no mention.

Are you still pretending that my case is "you're useless" and not "you're abusing your past meta to make people not scumhunt you?" This line makes no sense otherwise. Unless you're telling me that this abuse of meta is part of his meta. I really, really do not want to believe that.

The newbie/Serela circus is too uninteresting to really comment on.

Uh? So, what's worse? Prodding lurkers or disregarding them outright?

##Vote: BT, for being actively scummy by latching onto an easy case and refusing to do anything else with his time, while pretending to keep an active check on all players.

So, let's look at this case again. Points #1 and #2 are exaggerated at best, false at worst. Point #3 is just there to make the case look better, seeing as you can't prove it. All it boils down to is baseless mud-slinging.

And as much as you and other people seem to be insisting for whatever reason: I'm not voting Serela because he's an easy target, but because he legitimately seems scummy to me. Trying to make it seem that the former is correct is just an easy way to pull a clean defense on Serela. Which is scummy.

I'm referring to stuff like this:

Maav's active lurking while ignoring questions directed at him is worse than Serela's random bullshit mainly because I find the person pushing Serela is scum to me

Actually, about this. What exactly is your read on me and how strong is it? The latter quote suggests full commitment to Scum!BT while everything else that you do suggests otherwise. Or, if I word that differently, everything you do suggests that you want me to improve, therefore no full conviction, while your read on Serela (and Serela in specific) suggests otherwise.

Mainly putting this out there for now. I've yet to read Hero properly (seeing as he is irritating as fuck to read) so I'm about to do that now. Serela is gone and the consensus is fond of Town!Serela so this vote won't get me anywhere.

##Unvote

Actually, yeah, I'm perfectly fine with this right now.

##Vote Bardiche

His first post was a bad attempt at contributing, as I've noted in the past. Aside from that, all he's been doing is this ill-thought case and... meaningless back-and-forth with HW? Really, the scum motivation behind his behavior has already been covered by other posts and I'm in agreement. The whole tunneling point he presented against me also becomes hypocrisy here, seeing as I could directly compare my 'latching onto a case and not doing much else' to what he's doing right now. Other things I've pointed out in this post only add to my scum read here.

Gonna read Hero now. Unless *dinner* and *shower* interfere.
