Open 612 - Bad Poets Society - Game Over - Town Win

[Brunneis]

Ika Musume - Ika straight-out claims to be playing by his Scum meta. Does that mean he's Scum? If it does, then he's playing against his win condition. Town.

You're going to townread him based on WIFOM?
Newsflash: people claim Scum as Scum all the time. It doesn't go against anyone's wincon.

The last time I saw a scummy claim her alignment she got modkilled and ate a ban.

I feel like the point of this entire post is to look like town. You make a whole lot of posts, but you aren't asking questions, you aren't scum hunting, you're just trying to make yourself look town.

...Trivium, are you actually Town after all?
I think you are.

OH NO DID I JUST WK YOU?????

omg

Just like a good little Scumbuddy should...

What would you say if GM didn't townread trivium?

But he did, so...

[The Fire Hermit]

I could definitely see Ika being scum.
Especially with association now to Brunneis.

[Brunneis]

I just want to make a note, last time I played with Klingon and she used AtE she was scum....
Just making that as a note.

I don't do AtE.

You two really need to replace out.

I repeat, you two really need to replace out.

[The Fire Hermit]

I would say you do.
Also, no thank you. Going to stay in this game whether you like it or not Klingon.

Actually you know what? That's a dumb question.
For some reason I thought about confirmation bias being a thing with the association between gm and trivium but I don't think that's where it's at.
I don't think that the association read is particularly strong or anything. Here's another question. Other than GM's inconsistency regarding trivium, what other evidence leads you to make such a strong association read?

Is this question for me, or someone else?

Brunneis.

Brunneis (Klingon)
I am going to level with you, I don't think you are scum like my other head does.
I think you are town, I wanted to test you a bit on reactions. I don't like your reactions at all, but I think they seem genuine althought that has fooled me before.

I don't like your scum reads, the only one I agree on is Trivium. I think one on GM is bad and Ranger is pretty obv town.

Thats where I am at right now,

Close enough

Let's lynch Brunneis today. Look at Makara and Vedith tommorow.

Shaddup, Hermit. I've fucking had it with you.

You're supposed to be the fucking Town Leader, but you're nothing but a dumbass troll.

If you aren't going to help Town, then fucking lurk for the rest of the game. With any luck you'll be an early NK.

Calm down! You are crossing the line, and why, because I am leading a wagon on you?

Just makes me believe this is fake raging. I find it hard to believe that any player here, especially you in particular, would overreact to a post like that without it being intentional.

[The Fire Hermit]

I am going to request that players who are scumreading the slot prioritize lynching Brunneis today if you feel the continuation of the slot is going to create drama and/or confusion. We would be fair game as well if we were not an IC, which means I am pretty fucking happy I got to be an IC.

[The Fire Hermit]

I would also like to dismiss the claim that there are special expectations that innocent children have to live up too.
The advantage of an IC is having access to a confirmed town players scumreads, which I have made available whereas under normal circumstances I would not have shared so much of what I was thinking (as a bonus, you do have two individual townies providing scum and town reads)

The point I am getting at, is that there is no reason to expect an Innocent Child to lead town, because that would imply the IC has a great degree of influence over the decisions of other townies. At most, my opinions only have marginal influence on the lynch, and I am using that influence to get Brunneis, a scumread of mine, lynched.

[The Fire Hermit]

Scum are also going to exploit my reputation for their advantage. They do every game, that is why I have such an easy time catching them usually.

[The Fire Hermit]

That's all

[MaxwellPuckett]

I think Klingon needs to calm down.

Errant: I'm not getting the feeling that you actually care about answers to your questions.

Let me guess - the mod was Monkey or someone like him?

@Hermit: I don't think they're going to be a distraction, but I do think they're Scum.
I agree that the overreaction looks fake.

I shit you not, the rage is totally for real.

Your hydra has done nothing but troll the whole game.

Not one post, the whole game.

[Trivium]

Hold on now, remember this is a forum game on the internet. If you don't like the people, you can play another one, or maybe replace out if it bothers you that much. Its ok, there's no reason to be freaking out Klingon.

[Trivium]

That doesn't mean I don't agree with you either, Klingon. It is true that Fire Hermit has been a pretty trolly IC, even extremely so, but don't flip out over it.

[Klingoncelt]

I've been more than patient with Constantine, in numerous games.

[Klingoncelt]

I defended him when others complained about his behavior.

Done.

[The Fire Hermit]

Errant: I'm not getting the feeling that you actually care about answers to your questions.

Same feeling

[The Fire Hermit]

Okay Klingon, feel free to rage, but honestly it wont get you anything besides a fine streak of negativity.

[The Fire Hermit]

Still think the rage is 100% fake though, just saying.

[Ika Musume]

ok im here

[The Fire Hermit]

I defended him when others complained about his behavior.

Done.

I had never asked anyone to defend me. I am more than capable of standing my own ground without others weighing their opinions in. My stance on the issue of myself, is that myself should not be an issue. I cannot understand for the life of me why I happen to be a public issue on this site.

I have been quite vocal about toxicity and attacking/mentioning players negatively inside the game enviornment, which is what you are doing now, and doing that makes this feel more like a chore than a game. In any other place I would just shrug it off, but it does get to me when I am in these situations in which I cannot ignore, with the whole purpose of being involved to have fun.

People have expressed sentiment about not liking players who do not take every single post ultra seriously, but this does not have to be an ultra serious game, and since the goal of loosening up a bit and trying to goof around is to make the game possess a lighter enviornment, then so be it.
