OP, why did you wait with that vote in post 502?
Well, I didn't really think it was worth a vote at the time, which is why I held off, but I was really annoyed, and SC kind of pushed me over the edge with his "by all means, attack her if you think she is scum". I probably should've voted outright, because my opinion of her didn't really change in the 15 minute timeframe that I waited, but yeah. I am not really convinced PoS is scum anymore, now that I am aware of her past playstyle, meta, and whatnot. That really doesn't clear her of being scum, but the hypocrisy doesn't really seem as relevant, in a way.
Also regarding the mason code PotS mentioned, there's a good example of this, but that game is still ongoing so it has to wait. I'll point it out after that game is finished.
And OP, that vote is weak. You're comparing two different situations: the first has no masons outed and there's no thought of a scum mason mentioned. In the second, both are in the game.
Different situations ask for different approaches.
Question: What do you think is better for this day. To lynch one of the masons or somebody else, and why?
Well, it really doesn't matter, as long as we find scum. If the scum turns out to also be mason, then hey, that's great, we got scum, but if they are someone who isn't a mason, and therefore isn't on the eyes of townies during the night (the quicktopic can force discussion between the masons and possible scum masons, hence more info for town)
For day 1 though, it's very likely that the mason group has scum among it, since my PM says nothing about alignment, and in my past experience as a mason, it usually confirms my partner is town, but in this game, it doesn't - there are 5 other people, so I think the likelihood of scum is undisputable, given the amount of people in the group, and the unconfirmedness.
Just going back to the original argument, PotS figures me and Yos "got confused who our mason partners is because we also have scum partners" because we voted for a mason. Um, I didn't vote for a mason, I voted for a penguin. That was all. I wasn't thinking about breadcrumbing in my first post - the game had started 10 days prior, so I had to get back into the loop, and I figured I would jokingly put in my random vote I never got to do. I wasn't thinking "Oh, PotS is my mason partner and I have to breadcrumb, so I can't vote her". No, I put little thought in that, and I assure you it didn't have anything to do with masonry. It was simply penguin business. I put no thought in it, basically, and the vote didn't matter, because I unvoted the word after my vote for him. I wasn't going to bother breadcrumbing, it was never my intention or plan for this game. With 5 other people being my partners, breadcrumbing in this game seemed quite silly. I don't usually breadcrumb as a powerrole the way it was anyways, since I suck at it.
I just thought it was scummy, at the time, for PotS was only suspicious of me because of that random vote that meant nothing, which she turned into this big scumtell, or whatever.True, the masons were outed when PotS voted me, and the scum mason thing was out there too, but as a mason in a group of unconfirmed masons, you should probably assume there is scum masons, so had my vote been a legit vote on you, it still wouldn't have been against the mason code, because there is none, especially when there is no indication of any of your other masons alignment.
BUT...
I have moved on from that. I don't think PotS is scum. I basically disagree with her kind of playstyle- it works for her, I guess, I don't really know how well it works out for her, but given that she does do it in other games, I don't really think she is scummy as a result of
that
.
I do think she has something on Empking. It's funny how she asks him a simple tasks of quotes supporting the evidence, and he still spits out one-liners, and is truly unhelpful.
About KoC, now that he has pointed out stuff like the breadcrumb, I guess it seems pretty obvious now, but whatever. KoC could've posted more helpful poems, instead of creative..allusions to what he truly meant. Meh.
