Everyone can give a round of applause, though, to Voided for being an awesome co-/backup mod and filling in for me during my rough times. Seriously, he's keeping the game afloat. <3 >>>

FWIW we were discussing the possibility of DGBscum a while ago

I don't like the jackal cw that sprang up, especially after this:

to me this post screams town cos scum usually love it when other players defend them.

I have also completely lost my eyesore townread. <----- another 1 who doesn't look like he is trying to sort the game out.

... and shos mentioned the possibility of Jackelscum as early as the 19th.

Also I don't read that Jackel quote as town. FWIW I have made pretty much the same "why is so-and-so defending me" statement more than once as scum, and I've also seen it come from other players as scum numerous times.

Now the hood should really be left alone. At first with all the fascists and communists thing I thought this was multiball, which would make sense for 2town1scum1scum hood, but I doubt that is the case. if there's any scum on the hood, I'd bet it is FIN3 but only out of elimination. So in general - not a good place to look at for scums on D1.

Alright so my first one to ISO is going to be theelkspeaks, because I remember him voting badly and he has the smallest amount of posts.

Dino did not pick up his PM, so it's an easy start.

k so elk starts with a reference to 771 by klingon. in order to get the context I read the entire page; people vote klingon, he responds with 'sure, lynch me'. but then Jackal posts the horrible in which he votes FIN3 just because he dislikes him, regardless of alignment. Klingon rageposts or is pretending to. regardless, elk's post is fine. he also says he suspects me for that <b> thing. both accusations in this post are legitimate.

rest of his posts are actually pretty ok. Guess this slot gets a real
townread
, then.

extra:

while munching through this, I noticed that it was actually FIN3 who outted the neighbourhood inthread. without discussing it with us first, and without any warning. interesting.

So ISOing Toon Fighter.

His first 12 posts in the ISO look very good, I have to say. I've no idea yet what the case on him was; I noticed in a quote that DGB randomly voted him; but in general, I see no case, no reason, and actually all town thought process, legitimate thoughts on the game, etc...reading ghis ISO just makes me want to lynch Klingon, lol.

Can anyone wanting a TF lynch tell me what the case on him is about?


if both leading wagons are on town, we better lynch jackal, I think.
post is actually a good post. even if it's wrong, the reasons for suspecting me are legit, and the thought that FIN3 might actually be a jester is VERY interesting. That can work well if there's only one scumteam, and then the neighbourhood can have 1 scum 1 jest 2 town, or the more likely option of 1jest-3town. Still doubt it's 3-town-1-scum.

post 1924 is ubertown and the claim is HIGHLY unlikely to come from scum, I think. too elaborate and specific. This slot is town, the way I see it.


TLDR:
I think TF is town.
Can anyone wanting a TF lynch tell me what the case on him is about?

Because what she's posted in the game thread is essentially more useful in determining alignment.

Apparently we're supposed to think that FIN3 is a mysterious PR.

In post 1885, Wisdom wrote:VOTE: shos


Stop being spiteful and get off of Shos.

I don't think TF's claim should give him a pass. For one, the role being compulsive and odd night only is strange, and while not out of the realm of possibility for this game, still very unlikely. I think it falls more in line with a scum fake claim, probably covering for a roleblocker of some sort. Most importantly, though, TF has not been playing with such a role in mind. If he was town with that role, I'd expect to see some reflection of that in his play. There has been none. He's been just trying to get a lynch, not hunting for scum. There should be no excuse of him just wanting to lynch to use his role, since he a.) has no control over it and b.) would most likely be negative utility given the likely role madness. He should be playing with an eye toward rooting out scum for the future, and he hasn't done that at all.

In post 1937, Pine wrote:
Still can't figure out what the case is on TF, too lazy to go archive diving


He's going for the short term lynch, rather than trying to figure out who is scum. Look back in his ISO, and you will find zero scumhunting. All of his attacks have been based on non-issues or have been on the popular wagons with little backing. He'll then express some doubt about those wagons, but he will ride them anyway. When he does make cases on players, it's only on popular wagons, and the case are highly contrived and over justified. It's like he's trying too hard to appear like he deserves to be on that wagon. His claim is also disturbing, as it seems as if he's trying to use it as a "get out of lynch free" card, rather than it being a role he received and played up to. In fact, I'd be shocked if you were able to find any evidence of him being a compulsive odd-night JK prior to his claim. He doesn't play like such a role. He doesn't play like town trying to figure out who scum is. Instead, his play points toward scum who is trying to coast through the game, stay on the easy wagons, and try not to get on the stronger players' bad sides.

In post 1954, Pirate Ika wrote:if you guys are all townreading each other then why are none of you working together?


To be fair, I've been in catch up mode a lot, and it's hard to work together on that level when I have no idea what is going on.

In post 1965, Nobody Special wrote:Okay, so.

I hate the idea of a 4p neighborhood, and I doubt very much they're all town.

I don't like FI3s attitude. I also don't care for Muffin's attitude.

shos is being less attitudey, but I cannot read him at all.

I can't recall the fourth neighbor.

I don't want to vote TF at this moment.


Ok, so I'm on the NS-scum bandwagon now.

Also, I didn't like that post. It seems like you were trying too hard to justify your position on Shos.

In post 1997, farside22 wrote:
I do want bulba to talk about fin3 read more.
With all the neighbor claiming I find him th most interesting.


I don't know what more there is to say. I'm townreading her mainly from her being in the neighborhood and her play in the game. The first part has been explained. The second I will not explain.

@Mollie: Quit being so hard headed. The not listening to Titus thing "just because" is stupid, especially since she's right on almost everything except Jackel. You're also starting to go all Chain of Command on Shos. Stop that.

The Jackel wagon is nice and all, but TF is the lynch for today. Get back on him!

People change from game to game. Particularly new players. What boils down to basically a tone argument isn't really going to sway my opinion on Jackel based on what I see in his play so far.

There's a great thread in MD right now about the perils of relying on meta.
