Formal introduction: I'm Johnny, not a newbie. I'm often jerkish and profane and I apologize in advance if I make you mad.
Here's all of my thoughts as they occurred to me in thread.
Spoiler:
Intent to hammer TGWTG
Carli was
1.defensive
2. Hypocritical
3. Very careful not to step on anyone's toes
4. Replaced out a a pretty convenient time.
None of these are great reasons, but they are numerous.
Would also be willing to vote Shiro, but that's more gut than anything because most of the arguments against her seem to be "you're playing like a newbie". The recent vote on TGGC is the only thing that screams scum to me
GiF isn't being active and that's annoying in an IC
And I can already see this is gonna be one of those games where nobody talks, so I ask right now that if you find yourself not wanting to post to just replace out. This game requires people willing to play.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.

This post throws up all kinds of red flags. Specifically "a few days before deadline I'll reveal what my questions yielded me".
1. Fuck that, if you think you've found scum don't keep it to yourself.
2. You expect this game to go to deadline?
Well, as we can see, it came almost to the deadline and the deadline was extended. I had some kind of gut feeling that it will go this way, also my previous newbie game wasn't very active too so I got used to have every game day coming to deadline. I thought we had terrible activity in that game, but gosh, how wrong was I... This game is way worse. Hope the replacements will make it going.
And yes, I'd reveal my findings earlier if I'd find the scum. The nature of this game however does not let to be sure in someone's scumminess for 100% at any point during D1, so I tend to gather evidences and build my case for a while, and then pop it out altogether. You can dislike it, but as I said, I won't play differently just because you don't like my playstyle. This is how I scumhunt.
Consider revising how you scumhunt. My favorite games on this site go too quick to wait for 2 week deadlines. A game I recently died in had a day that only lasted six hours and it was fucking awesome.
In post 243, JohnnyFarrar wrote:"I've been lynched for these reasons before " to me sounds like an "inb4 bad players kill me" which just sounds newbie as shit.
I wasn't lynched in my other newbie game. I was accused for my playstyle though. Just correcting.
Statement stands
In post 243, JohnnyFarrar wrote:Shiro putting that slot at l-1 now is making me hesitant to hammer
Is it the only thing stopping you from hammering?
I really don't think we should be eager to lynch anyone considering the deadline extension. Every extra post from possible lynchees is extra information to interprete their flips tomorrow.
Well also a claim and I wanted an answer from Tool. Plus I want everyone to weigh in on all the replacements, beccause there are nine people in this game and I could probably name 5 of them without looking at the playerlist and that's annoying. Also not eager to lynch, but just waiting for no reason is pointless and only further disinclines those who are bored of this shit from posting.

It's sad because he was way more active in the beginning and I liked him (as IC).
I mean to his credit he looks genuinely busy but it's still annoying.

Huh. That's a new one.
In post 243, JohnnyFarrar wrote:@tool when reading Carli's game did you notice if she had a lot of manners? Like did she say "please" and "excuse me" and the like?
Not really, no. Why?
Because she did that a lot this game and that kind of passive language reeks of someone trying to stay on everyone's good side. If you said she behaved that way as town she'd just be a polite person, but you say she didn't.
More confident in my read now.Last edited by Bulbazak on Mon Oct 27, 2014 3:06 pm, edited 1 time in total.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.

There are useless townies all the time. Hell you and whatshisname had a fucking ridiculously useless conversation about fucking buddying that a less experienced me would have voted you for.
Bad play is not scummy play. I'm just gonna put that in my sig.

It was useless because you were debating gameplay. That conversation could be found in any game and would still tell us nothing about either of your alignments. Also it was distracting and intimidating to newbies who aren't used to forum games.
It was bad.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.

I believe the doc claim. The two scenarios where there is a doctor also have investigation roles, so that would just be a dumb claim to make as scum.
Exploring other options at this point, would be nice if GIF, Vic, and (if possible) Blue could weigh in.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.

I'm not really into guessing at teams before we know anyone's roles. It's a field of paranoia that has little sway.
The doc claim saves him. Due to this setup being the way it is there's really a multitude of ways we can catch him in the lie (if he's lying) so I'm cool with leaving a potential town PR alive to do his job.
Right now I'd love weigh-ins from everyone. The only people I'm not ok with lynching today are Tool and TGGC. Everyone else is on one of my various "They could probably die" levels.
GIF should talk. Can't remember him taking any stand on any thing.
Blue should talk, though I'll understand if he can't. I don't like that he's all "This slot claimed 2 different things." and then doesn't say anything else.
Vic is 4 hours away from a proddin' and ain't said shit.
I don't like that Luca saw the claim, unvoted and peaced out. This is not the time for a "I'll wait" without at least something telling us where your head's at.
Nether's an interesting case. I just get a sense of unease thinking about him. Probably the whole "I'm not gonna share my thoughts until LATER" thing that just boggles my mind. Still waiting on that.
And Shiro is scummy-ish, but half the things people are using to vote her I don't agree with, and as a result I'm skittish to join that wagon.
So basically I'm waiting to vote until more shit happens. Hopefully that shit is Nether making me less unhappy. But we'll see. I'll be around almost always because I have a problem and can't stop checking the site. buhbye for now.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.

This is not a conversation I'm going to continue having because it has no effect on this game, but I'll end by saying laziness is bad play, not scum play. No one benefits from looking lazy, so thinking laziness is scummy is silly. You're doing yourself a disservice as a scum hunter thinking that way and you're not going to convince anyone to vote with a reason like that.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.

(You're legitimately the first to ask me, I'm trying to decide what I think about that)
I want to vote Shiro, but I don't like other's reasons for voting on that wagon so I'm (mostly vainly) searching for other options. So right now I'm just poking at everyone til something scummy pops out.
Reasonably certain Tool is town and I'm believing TGGC at least til the end of this phasePhone posting. Low effort, big fun.

So getting this right:
Shiro thinks lurkers must be scum because all us chatty kathys are just so darn townie
Blue thinks either Tool or I are scum based on statistics that others appear to disagree with, and then Luca (because PoE?). He's also still pushing Vic which is adorable.
Tool is working on a reads list and is voting Nether for reasons I can't remember.
TGGC is claimed Doc and is also voting Nether for reasons I can't remember
Vic is gone
GiF is gone(?)
Nether is on Shiro for reasons I disagree with, but I'm not really mad because I'm thinking Shiro's the best lynch
And Luca is gone.
Assuming we're not going to hear from Luca, Vic, or GiF until Tomorrow, it lands on those of us who are present to arrive at a lynch that all but one of us agrees with. My plan right now is to go back and pick apart the Nether cases (if they're as forgettable as they seem to be) and win those two over to a Shiro lynch and then hope Blue takes his head out of his ass.Phone posting.

In post 234, TGGC wrote:Netherspite:
the first postings of Netherspite seem odd, a) he says he is going to look like scum and he does not care b) he explains he secret question strategy (which kind of defeats this strategy) c) long, useless exchange with luca
Also he promised the results of his questions, which never came, deadline was 2 days away before the extension.
Leans to scum.
a) I mean I don't like that either
b) That's dumb but I mean scummy?
c) Again dumb, but scummy?
And the question thing is crazy dumb. Possibly scummy. 2 good points so far.
In post 291, TGGC wrote:
Most likely scum: Netherspite
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Netherspite
I will not repeat what I said in my first post, just add upon it.
scumNetherspite has quite a smooth ride before I replace Carli. He has his own small fight with Shiro, which helps him in multiple ways:
a) Shiro is not in focus of other players so his attack won't raise that much attention to him
b) it seems unlikely Shiros lynch succeed, so he will not get under suspicion for starting it
c) he still can point back to his efforts as scum hunting
So in short, it is a quite safe way to paint him a bit more town.
Now I come in pushing his wagon, because I want to see how serious he is about it and at the same time I doubt his town motivation. I also press him on his questioning results (Johnny does this too). His explanation for not giving results is (#244) basically that we have low activity in this game. As town I would not hold my results back 2 days until deadline especially if I know about the low activity of the other players. Also he suddenly stops going after Shiro after spending a lot of time building this case. In #267 he says Carli did the same things as Shiro, so that is not s reason to prefer my vote over Shiros. So it boils down to this: he votes me because of the things _other_ players noted, which can be a nice excuse later on. I believe he switched votes because after Johnny showing intent to hammer me, he thinks I am now an easy lynch target to get over with D1. He had no interest in a Shiro lynch to begin with. Now this could also mean, that Shiro is his scum partner. But with that many players inactive, thats really just a slight possibility because scum may also hide easily by lurking in this game.
This abc) can be countered by an actual Shiro lynch
The Shiro switch is weird. To me it would look like a too late attempt to bus if you flip scum at some point, but it could just be him changing his mind. Either way we'll understand better come tomorrow if either you or Shiro dies.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.

Basically where I stand right now is all lynch options are pretty weak, and I'd rather Shiro go than Nether because Nether is at least trying. They've both been touched on by enough people that I think we can get reads out of their flip, more specifically we can better for reads on whichever one is not lynched.
P-Edit: Oh goodness if they're partners this is gonna be a quick gamePhone posting. Low effort, big fun.

So here's how this goes. I list a reason, you say why you don't like that reason. Great. awesome. Absence of scumminess does not equal towniness though so even if you debunk my reason, that still doesn't tell me why she's town.
So in short: I asked you first.Phone posting. Low effort, big fun.
