Open 595: Elemental Mafia (Town Wins!)

[farside22]

sadly I think the rev maybe scum after all.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I'm happy lynching Rev after Papi.

[davesaz]

It's a work day, so have only had a chance to do a couple ISOs.

RationalMadman seems unusually tentative replacing in. His slot predecessor popped a meta scum read, though I can't elaborate on why. Mentioning policy lynches on lurkers and jumping the first available bandwagon is also pretty scummy.

I read through Senator's posts but don't have a read yet.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

You're not reading the game in it's entirety first?

[Alchemist21]

Choof has requested replacement.

[TheReverend]

Why sadly? If you are town and think you have caught scum, you should be happy.

Why do you think I'm scum? Why haven't you, the only person here who knows my game, told toffee that actually I am the kind of person who would openly speculate about SK as town? Toffee is applying a universal read to me, that you should know to be flawed. Alarm bells are ringing here farside.

[davesaz]

I usually poke around a bit before trying to tackle the whole thing start to finish. I'm definitely not going to be speed reading it in half an hour.

In the meantime, I'd be interested to see an explanation of your reads. Not just the reads themselves, but the why.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Maybe tomorrow.

Lynching Papi today.

[Bellaphant]

@rev, you got any links to show you doing that elsewhere?

[TheReverend]

@rev, you got any links to show you doing that elsewhere?

That requires sifting through my game history. I can't be bothered right now. Maybe tomorrow if I'm in trouble.

[FA_Q2]

tough crowd...






Can I please give my thoughts first? >.>

Not only can you but you should. However, if they are the same thoughts you have been giving then don’t bother – BBT was spot on when he called you out for not taking a stance on anyone. You continue this trend in every post you make.

You are not posting thoughts that are useful when you state this person could be scum or they could be town. That is pretty well established already – tell us who you think is scum and WHY.

I can go with this lynch today I think. I will vote later though if it looks as though this is the lynch for today.

I would prefer RMM though.

321 was REALLY bad and that has been beaten to death.

I genuinely cannot find a single townslip or scumslip or anything form anyone. This is unusual for me.

Nothing.
Then:

Plotinus' attitude, however, is what I call 'over the top' style of scum-play. The typical tryhard scum attitude. Overdoes any explanation etc.

And

But then again tryhards can be VERY useful town members so I really am struggling here.

Takes a stance and then runs from it in the very next post. More nothing.

And tops it off with:

yay for bandwagons VOTE: Papi

Really! No issue with players joining wagons on scummy players but at least have a better reason than because everyone else is doing It at the time.

This runs from a stance much more than Papi does, contributes less and has posted 2 things that make me really think he is scum – runs to a PL and jumps on the first available wagon that might get a lynch without bothering to add any thoughts or agree with anything. Just states yay for bandwagons. Wth…

I still read flubber as slightly scummy but he is not as scummy as these 2. I don’t really agree with the bella scum read, she is null for me. This is mostly based on the last game I played with town bella – the style just seems similar IMHO. Will look harder at bella when I have more time to.

[FA_Q2]

oops, forgot my vote

VOTE: RationalMadman

[BlueBloodedToffee]

FA, we need a lynch.

Vote Papi please.

[TheReverend]

Why are you seeking a lycnh instead of a claim, toffee?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Because he's scum?

[TheReverend]

That didn't get the point across I intended.

Why are you in a hurry to get a lynch? There's 5 days left, there's no hurry. It's obvious papi is the lynch.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Because we have 21 pages of information, which is more than enough.

Also, Days can go on too long. Just because we have 5 days left, that doesn't mean we should use them.

Long days cause town apathy. It also causes people to lose focus. A good pace to the game keeps everyone engaged.

It's time for a flip and some information.

[TheReverend]

Well I certainly don't want to see papi lynched before he posts again.

[Ricastle]

BBT, what do you think Papi town/scum/SK flips will tell us?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Not interested in that discussion right now Ricastle.

[Ricastle]

Fine.

Why sadly? If you are town and think you have caught scum, you should be happy.

Why do you think I'm scum? Why haven't you, the only person here who knows my game, told toffee that actually I am the kind of person who would openly speculate about SK as town? Toffee is applying a universal read to me, that you should know to be flawed. Alarm bells are ringing here farside.

Because it's you and I missed you.

It has nothing to do with the SK speculation.

[TheReverend]

Aw bless you missed me? I'm touched.

Farside, put yourself in my scum shoes. What's the first thing I do if I replace into a scum slot?

[TheReverend]

I'll not wait for your reply.

First thing I do when I replace into a scum slot is to ISO my predecessor, just to see if he left me in the shit. That would take an acute awareness of who I replaced.

Speaking of inactives, Spartan is V/LA until tomorrow I think, and hasn't been able to check in. He's got coursework deadlines.

I realise conman has explained this comment, and the explanation seems good, however it might not be honest. This is certainly worth looking into again if either of them flip scum.

Now, tell me, did I forget who I replaced? Or did I derp this shit up so I could use it in my defence?

I'd like to think I could do that, actually.

I don't recall if you replaced in a spot by scum we've been in so no clue.

Hell yea you would.
Hell I would do that as scum. I never remember things always so it works in my favor sometimes.
