I'm really surprised by the lack of interest in this. I'm going to lay out exactly what happened in the neighbourhood, and why I think it's likely that it makes Dunn scum. I think various people are dismissing this for no reason at all.
All three
of the people who have seen this post think it a likely scumslip. Writing that off without seeing it, and without asking a question about it, is not wise.
An account of the Diamonds hood
I've tried to keep this completely unopinionated. Dunn, shout if you think any of this is unfair or anything interesting is left out.
- A few posts of pleasantries.
- Dunn and McMenno briefly discuss gerry's alignment, and massclaim. gerry defends, pointing out that Maria was deflecting onto him
- Discussion of claims within the hood
- Dunn makes a comment on how it's sad there's no doc/watcher to protect giga.
- Some chat around gerry being sent fruit. Speculation about scum having a fruit vendor, which fizzles out when they remember Vecna claimed it.
- Dunn asks whether card spy seems town. gerry replies he doesn't see town wanting it.
- Dunn posts "Let's kill titus". This is the entirety of the post.
- gerry and McMenno call it a scumslip.
- Dunn says it wasn't a slip, he was talking to the hood.
- Dunn expresses frustration at delayed N3 deadline, and emphasises the he wants to kill Titus.
- Dunn proposes posting as if the hood was the scumteam (I think? Dunn - is that the right interpretation)?
- gerry and McMenno are clearly unconvinced.
From town?
So, Dunn's claim is that he meant "let's lynch Titus". I find that claim unlikely:
- There had been zero comment in the neighbourhood on anyone's alignment outside the hood. It doesn't feel like a neighbourhood you're going to galvanise and build a wagon around.
- It's completely unexplained. There's no reasoning why Titus is scum - and remember, we just had a scumflip and a very significant claim from Titus.
- It proposes no action, makes no attempt at persuasion, nothing. All in all, I see this as a very unlikely post at that point in the neighbourhood conversation.
- The reaction to it in the hood reads to me like Dunn knows it's a dodgy post, and is trying to cover for it. If he's just unlucky town, you might see the same - but then I wouldn't expect the completely blase attitude he's shown to it in thread.
One point on the other side - Dunn wanting to lynch Titus is plausible; relevant posts are
post 3725 and
post 3595. The latter being particularly notable as containing the phrase "kill titus".
@Dunn: do you see why the neighbourhood post looks really dodgy? Can you explain any more about what you were thinking when you made it?
From scum?
It seems unlikely to be about the Grey shot. It would be bold scum indeed to go through with that after slipping it to the hood. More likely it was just about the kill the next day. Is that likely? Not sure. Scum could reasonably shoot at Titus for holding the King of Diamonds. Much more likely if the scum held the other one, I'd say.
Dunn's reaction
Is really poor. It looks like he thought he could steamroller McMenno and gerry, as he has a lot more weight/presence/whatever in the game. He called for their lynches repeatedly, and never talked to them. If Dunn is town here, I really think the natural conclusion from his POV is that he made a very unfortunate post, or
possibly
that McMenno and gerry (and now me) are being idiots jumping on something that obviously wasn't a scumslip. Either way, I'd really not expect him to attack McM and gerry as scum.
OTOH, he put me in the neighbourhood, which made his situation potentially a lot worse. Did he forget I'd be in the hood immediately? Dunno.
McMenno and gerry
Whether or not your are town - I think the manner of their push was idiotic. I feel a bit like I'm trying to convince the town that the slip is significant, while they loiter behind me saying "ner ner, Dunn is scum". I see no earthly motivation from any alignment to come out and vote you cryptically, not claim anything, not explain anything, etc. If you are town - this episode wouldn't give me a scumread on anyone pushing it.
