Open 507: The Case of the Hard Boiled Egg (Game Over, 6/13)

[Lazurial]

To congratulate the host on good flavor posts? I was amused.

Contrary to popular belief, Mnemonic, not every post made in game has to be relevant to who is/isn't scum.
All work and no play makes fuzzy a dull man.

^He gets it.

[Amrun]

I'm the same as Laz, didn't realize it was that long since I last posted. I want to start a counter-wagon against Oriole, but thing is, he doesn't actually seem that scummy. There hasn't really been anything new said, just people quoting the past (quotes of the 200's) and bringing them up now, which makes it seem that people are just trying to find excuses to attack people. Just my general opinion of using past posts. The only time that I would use them was to note inconsistency in one person. Other than that, I am keeping me vote the same (nothing) until I have stronger feelings about any one person being scum.

If oriole doesn't seem scummy, why would you want to start a counter-wagon on him?

And what do you think should be used to scumhunt, if not past quotes?

omg

VOTE: mnemonic

[mnemonicdevice]

To not have brought up those posts earlier, makes it seem like grasping for excuses. And the counter-wagon, because he started my wagon.

[Kerberos]

Bad vote is bad.

I'm taking that you see Oriole as town? why?

[oriole]

oriole: leaning town, has been appropriately curious and paranoid.

What is appropriately curious and paranoid supposed to mean?

For Twin Flames, you said you can't find anything scummy, but said null. Can you not find anything townie either?

@mnemonic: In the Bert vote, you called your claim that Bert was calling Amrun scummy a "fact". It kind of bothers me, and your catch-up post seemed like agreeing with some common consensus outside of that and a vote on a growing bandwagon. I feel like the opinions expressed in your last post were rather conservative and "safe". What do you make of the last couple of pages (Fuzzy, Bert, Lucky?)

No, I think mnemonic's post was safe.

Lucky, why don't you have a vote out?

FOS: mnemonic

Just throwing that out there.

Except I did bring it up at the time.
I'm torn though, because after the last couple of your posts I'm not as happy with my vote.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: Rank

[Amrun]

I see Oriole as town for ~reasons~ I am not inclined to share.

Oriole, how do you see her literally looking for reasons to omgus you as town? She was disappointed because she couldn't legitimize her omgus, but much worse is that she has exactly scum suspects.

Well, I can't really talk about it too much because [the game I want to refer to is ongoing], but I'm not sure if scum would be broadcasting a wish to OMGUS in thread (moreso than town)?

[Amrun]

Oops, *exactly zero scum suspects.

And yes, I thought about that, but it's so strange that who can say? She doesn't seem to view it as a bad thing to say either way, so I don't think she'd avoid saying it. She explicitly went hunting for things in your iso to vote you for, couldn't find them, and then accused YOU of doing that when you obviously hadn't. She's trying to discredit you but can't find a good enough "reason" to call you scum. I can't see town doing that.

Yeah, the zero scum suspects is my main hang-up. I'll probably come back to the wagon if that doesn't change soon.

[Amrun]

I mean, rank is also an excellent vote. So I can't really complain.

This post-prod paragraph gives me extremely uncomfortable vibes. You seem indifferent about getting the discussion flowing again. Just because Laz or any of us are doing it doesn’t make you exempt from being in lazy-land.

I'm a little suspicious of Bertkerberos. Nacho usually has highly accurate reads of me, but his hydra has me on his scum list. I'm fine with conversation that gets people talking and makes you comfortable, but I'd like to see some productivity.

Nacho is being a huge inactive-sack. Temper your expectations for the moment.

I'd rather suspicious of almost everything than highly selective of what I pick up on.

I want you to be rather suspicious of more, rather than highly selective – as long as we aren’t being flooded. We need to get this game going again.

MMmmm...
VOTE: Oriole

Come back and talk to us instead of starting a counterwagon and running away.

Rank, you said you were going to compile some ISOs. Come back soon too.

Meanwhile, I’ll go read some ISOs myself.

What an exciting game we have going on here!!!

*yawn*

P.S. Amrun and Oriole, what's your case on Rank? The data I can look back on for him is quite limited since he has been extraordinarily lurky.

[Amrun]

Everything he posts is terrible p much sums it up.

[Bertkerberos]

Still here, nothing's really happened since my last post. Fuzzy's phrasing is suspicious with the wagon, but right now I feel like it's a lack of classification.

Nothing else has changed of note.

do you wanna put a vote down?

And what do you think should be used to scumhunt, if not past quotes?

Vote: Amrun

that hop REEKED.

[oriole]

So you disagree with this reasoning?

Oriole, how do you see her literally looking for reasons to omgus you as town? She was disappointed because she couldn't legitimize her omgus, but much worse is that she has exactly scum suspects.

She's trying to discredit you but can't find a good enough "reason" to call you scum. I can't see town doing that.

What, then, do you make of mnemonic not having any suspects?

Tell me what makes my Rank vote better than my mnen vote. Serious.

I think they're both lovely votes, for the record, but I want you to answer this question.

Also, why is vote hopping (especially in the beginning of day 2) scummy? This is also a serious question.

[Amrun]

@Bert: Also, why should laz put a vote down but not mnem?

What are your reads of Laz, mnemonic, and Rank?

[Bertkerberos]

Amrun, #440 wasn't me - it was Nacho - I didn't place a vote.

Only #438 was me.

- Bert

[Amrun]

I don't give a shit who it was. Answer all the questions. You don't get to wiggle out with hydra dissonance, oh no.

[Bertkerberos]

Rank - null (he has been very lurky but that's about it - the sample size is not sufficient)
Lazurial - leaning town
mnemonic - leaning scum

I don't understand why Nacho is voting for you, or why he is pressuring Lazurial to put a vote down.

[oriole]

Rank - null (he has been very lurky but that's about it - the sample size is not sufficient)
Lazurial - leaning town
mnemonic - leaning scum

I don't understand why Nacho is voting for you, or why he is pressuring Lazurial to put a vote down.

Rank has the same number of posts as mnemonic.

This post was cringe-worthy.

As for Rank, Rank never finished giving us his reads yesterday, so I don't have a good read on him yet.

That was crazy. Mind giving me a reason for that vote Oriole?

Probably something to do with pressure, Mnemonicdevice. There isn't much to go on for you and what we have is either meh or mildly scummy. See:

Gonna read through the posts, figure out whose scum before voting.

Why say it instead of just doing it? The only reason for you to make this statement is to make people think that you are doing townie-like things.

So far, his only somewhat meaningful post today (D2) I have no issues with. Mnemonic, on the other hand, has made some comments that are pretty damning in comparison.

[oriole]

That post (387) reads like coaching to me.
