It's probably a solid place for your vote. I am not 100% going to end up there but you should probably be getting a star and it's winning right now...

But mostly what orc said if possible.

I haven't followed the last few pages but Bookitty wants to vote me now so I'll claim. My CO power at 4 stars is that I can vig.

UNVOTE: Lynx
VOTE: Albert B. Rampage

Am I missing something else here? You're saying you can't vig scum?

I legit missed the unvote, which makes Lynx's ISO make more sense.

Neo Black Hole is Scum.
Black Hole is compromised of {SSK, ABR, Cephrir, ffery, orcinus}.

I want to think HI is Town based on the last post.

Not severely. Has he been able to doublevote the entire game? A doublevoting semi-vig seems excessive either way.

Albert, how'd you come about this double vote? Unless you've explained that, in which case STDragons will catch me up I'm sure.

Coming down with a nasty fever. Having trouble seeing straight. Gonna try to stay caught up, but I might be somewhat less active for a little while until I'm feeling better.

Really risky claim to make if ABR's scum. If he's lying then if there's a real vig they'll hopefully get rid of him during the night.
VOTE: Lynx Would be willing to sheep a case I like less if we need a hammer.

Responses to orci, let me know if I misunderstood anything:
i) Why are you waffling on SMP?
-not sure why he would intentionally go this long without voting someone as scum when so many people have called him out on it
-got some townvibes on readback when he stood up to Ceph telling him to get off the wagon.

ii) Is waffling scummy?
Depending on the context, perhaps. Wouldn't call it a scumtell.

iii) Why isn't meta useful? #1653
Wasn't saying it wasn't useful in said quote. Just meant that it felt like Cabd was trying too hard for townpoints by pulling up reasoning that I felt had no bearing on the Varsoon situation. How someone enters a scumchat is usually pretty varied IMO, so I just didn't see the point and felt like it was him trying to seem useful rather than actually intentionally trying to sort Varsoon.

iv) Do you consider yourself a meta-centric player?
I like using it when I've played with someone. I find it hard to objectively analyze the meta of players I haven't played with other than analyzing specific generic playstyle things like "is this person ordinarily emotional under pressure?" Haven't really had the time or interest to seriously look at meta on anyone here.

v) Did you ever end up rereading orci like you promised?
No, primarily because I was feeling like individual ISOs weren't helping me see the big picture enough and I was making too many mistakes in the process. Decided that rereading the game was a better strategy. I admit I kind of skimmed orci interactions because I've been letting my read on him influence that.

vi) How were you not criticizing orci in #1924?
Was saying that Varsoon's play during D1 was bad, not the entire town in general.

vii) Why are you scumreading ffery?
Cheetory6 wrote:Was musing the idea of SSK and ffery scummates based on weird interactions, but that makes sense via ffery's explanation now.


viii) What is your paranoia on orci?
Every now and again he'll do something so overdramatic or blatantly bandwagony that just gives me weird vibes. Weird vibes on a few interactions isn't outweighing how his interactions with me originally felt pretty townish. Would have been easy to let our argument escalate and derail the entire game, but he talked it out instead. Strongest reason I'm townreading him at the moment and that along with the amnesiac cop investigation overall outweighs my occasional worries that he's been fucking with everything this game.

ix)
Cheetory6 wrote:I figured if she was scum she should have been modkilled. I have a hard time seeing her temper tantrum being legitimate if she is scum, in which case she would have been abusing a game mechanic for her faction's benefit.

It's just me being angry with how unfair that move was if she's scum, because I only believe what she pulled if she was town and legitimately thought orci's case on her was bullshit. Wasn't reading into Mara's alignment from it because it would have been mod bias if she had been killed and would have been the wrong call to make.

xi) Why didn't you follow through with your questioning of orci's lack of a cabd read?
I felt like regardless of whether he was town or scum, he would have well thought out reasoning for why he would be difficult with answering this. Didn't feel like I was going to get any information from pushing this and was more interested in other lines of questioning.
