Rather exhausted at the moment, sorry.
Alright. Looks like we probably have a cult (that is to say, a conversion-based primary scum type).
Now Jack, I resent your comment about my competency. I was trying a new strategy, and if you don't like it you should say so rather than insult me.
4maskwolf: Right, I've been a bit excessively grumpy and snippy while playing lately. Sorry about that. Your strategy is still terrible, though, considering how it was actively harming your ability to read other players (pretending pressure votes are lynch votes and basing your thoughts on other players on that is not exactly going to help you), actively harming your ability to build convincing cases against other players, and actively harming your ability to avoid being lynched (just look at all the adverse attention you got for jumpiness with every pressure vote). Bad play is bad play, and I came to the conclusion that you were playing badly in a way probably not intended to be anti-town.
NQT: While your defense has generally been weak (there was little to conflict with my accusations, your evidence of your story tended to be weak, and your desperate spinning was astounding at times) (I need to look through your defenses in prior games and see how you normally defend yourself, I think), your activities at the end of Day 1 (specifically, your high-speed attempt to figure out how to best handle Jiokuy's claim, and the rapid shifting of your opinion) seem like an honest effort to figure out how to get the most town-friendly resolution of that issue. You've moved to a wary neutral read.
Unless a response is requested, I'm going to leave your last defense alone. I completely agree that we'd hit an impasse, and frankly, I'm tired of inane discussions at an increasingly great distance from any case of mine.
Jiokuy really broke town to me in this post.
Toaster: Please explain.
Ottofar: Do you have some more in-depth reads now, now that it is day 2?
Looking back, I find a couple people particularly off-putting.
ToonyMan: Near the end of a long, high-activity day, your main suspects were
three lurkers. For lurking. Two of those lurkers, zombie urist and Ottofar, you said were
playing as they normally did, but could "easily" be scum based on that. After that, you FoSed Jim for being really angry.
Toony, was there anything about zombie urist's play that made you specifically think he was scum when you voted him, or was your vote just based on not liking his "usual" playstyle? Can you explain why you suspect(ed) Jim, including how his anger indicates scumhood (if it does)? What are your current reads?
zombie urist: When you finally started posting real content, you finally gave a case that wasn't "What Jack said":
a case against Persus for being lazy and useless. To justify your vote, you
accuse him of parroting me when dealing with Guardsman (which he didn't) (for instance, Persus accused Guardsman of having just skimmed the thread to find something to accuse me of, which I had not accused Guardsman of), say his Jiokuy vote went nowhere (true, as far as I can tell), and cherry-pick a few low-content posts (only one of them being close to a clarification request) from the million posts a minute part of the game. Quite a case.
Persus13 responds by
asking a bit about your case (see the bottom of his post). Your next post...
no response. Finally, at the end of the day, you continue not mentioning Persus as you... note issues with Jiokuy's claim, but decide for some reason to
vote Imperial Guardsman.Do you disagree with my assessment of your Persus13 case? If so, how and why? If not, why did you vote for him?
What is your current position on Persus13?
Why vote for Imperial Guardsman?
What was your position on Jiokuy when you voted Imperial Guardsman?
PPE:
NQT: I did not confirm any scum overnight.
Flabort: Regarding your power, I just looked at Supernatural 2 and the sage there. Back in that game, the sage IronyOwl got some information on what third parties were in the game over 4 nights, dying night 4 as he got information on a demon. I doubt you'll have much information by Day 3, but you might have a few hints toward the identity of the main scumteam or know what Guardsman is by that point.
I shall avoid claiming/part-claiming/flavour-claiming for now, as I see little reason to. Is there a reason, aside from you having allegedly seen some flavour about evil magic, why people should be claiming? Have you considered the game balance implications of your assumption that the scum has high-power roles?
Hapah: Sorry, I assumed that as the fresh replacement, you'd be willing to cooperate with the town for a while.
Wow, you're being heavy handed with the "you're not being a proper townie by not telling me about your role" manipulation,
flabort.
