I'm probably making my thought hard to follow.

Mush says Ceph flavor slipped as one of two people (antagonists) which would make them scum.

Mush softens their stance based on Ceph's responses.

Which wouldn't matter if cephrir scum slipped with their flavor (from Mush's perspective).

I think that their reaction on page 13 to the fake day vig is fake but trying to look genuine. By that I mean, I don't believe that they believed that they were dead, and I don't think it was a townie reaction.

You sure don't sound like a townie who just got killed. I feel like I shot correctly.

Yeah ok, I have the awareness that last time this happened they were actually shot and it was before they even got to post.
emotional fluctuation is there and is accurate to disbelief imo.

On the topic of Cephy, I don't have a read but one thing I found weird was that he jumped on Mush for being defensive but then also gave my posts an 'x'. If he thought mush and i were svs, that would be weird. I'm also just all around confused on what his read on Mush is. I think though that Fenny saying that he had a decent read on Cephy makes me feel better about him.

Au contraire. One of my favourite things to do when I'm bored is to go on Google Maps, find random places like shops or restaurants in Japan or China and read the reviews translated from East Asian languages into English. It's free entertainment.

Then again, both Norwegian and English are Germanic languages so that might work better.

Fluff isn't a crime

It's the scum poking out of it
i'd be interested in seeing you try to explain this without copying LLD's homework
Sure but only because it turns out she wasn't seeing what I saw, whoops

The content of your post reads EXACTLY in theme with a specific part of Control, but its a part that wouldn't be very likely to come up in a green role PM. If you hadn't fluffposted without thinking through the consequences of your actions you might have been fine, but instead you fluffposted in a way that gave the game away, precisely because you didn't know what you were talking about. Sorry bud
This is kind of my main issue with mush's push on Ceph with the caveat being I have no idea about anything related to this game beyond the quick wiki scrub I did. So unless the founder guy kept some kind of diary and it is a CORE part of the game then this blatant flavor outing of cephrirs is just BS.

Compound that with Mush's trajectory on Ceph (which is good admittedly) and it doesn't seem believable. If Ceph's flavor was blatantly found in one of the two antagonists that were named then Ceph's rebuttals wouldn't matter. Because they slipped as scum.
Hold on, do we know that scum has flavor that matches the antagonists?

No but like i’d make these emotional connections and deep mind analyzises of Noraa as a person, how they work, how they think. But all that comes out as text is: *Fart noise*
And then nobody listens.

Where mush calls out Ceph for flavor. He voted in post 60 but claimed to have 1 read a little before post 60.
The only post I could reasonably connect to having any flavor implications is:

Dear D.I.A.R.Y.,

So far the mission is going according to plan. No one has figured out that I'm an alien. The earthlings are... "friendly," as they say. I have much to learn about this culture.

I hope the others can assist me, as the combination of my superior deductive capabilities and Earthling knowledge of their own traditions should surely be formidable.

@Arcade: no but it's a reasonable assumption. As far as I've read up on control there are just different types of supernatural entities (like classes) and then the former founder as the main antagonist (controlling these entities maybe?) So them being part of the scum team flavor makes sense.

Goddd this game is a cold fucking splash of water in the face after that meeting godddddddd I fuckin hate it here

That's a meme, I'm memeing, shush

OKAY SO TET! Anyway problem is like Ceph said he decided to do that fluffpost shit BEFORE the role PM rwas received. And yeah scum could be lying but the thing is it's unfalsifiable, so I have to accept the POSSIBILITY it MIGHT be true, regardless of alignment, which would make it NAI, or else its potentially fucking game throwing on my part LOL

SO I re-read Ceph later and there's some fucking good posts and the reaction to pressure doesn't look as bad as I remembered, DO I STILL FUCKING PUSH THAT? Cause like, it is UNLIKELY but NOT IMPOSSIBLE (or even implausible!!!) that Ceph stumbled into the one bit of flavor that can only arguably come from antagonists??? And like, if the psoting is town and my mindread slot (LLD) is saying to give space it seems like the right move is to see Ceph catch scum, bus or flame out and get yoten???? If you say I still push that then Idfk guess you suck at mafia buddy lol

As promised, here are some examples of MUSH's fallacious logic.
In post 80, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:The content of your post reads EXACTLY in theme with a specific part of Control, but its a part that wouldn't be very likely to come up in a green role PM. If you hadn't fluffposted without thinking through the consequences of your actions you might have been fine, but instead you fluffposted in a way that gave the game away, precisely because you didn't know what you were talking about. Sorry bud
According to MUSH, Cephrir is scum for because it isn't likely to have come from a town role pm. Let me point out some of the various ways this argument is fallacious:

1: It presupposes that Cephrir is familiar with the source material. This is evidently false because in , Cephrir explicitly states he is not familiar with the source material. You may argue that it's scum indicative regardless, but there's nothing preventing someone with a town alignment who is unfamiliar with the source material from making the exact same post. While it may be true perhaps that a scum role pm may make such a post more likely (I wouldn't know as I don't know the source material), it is at best a marginal difference.

2: It also presupposes that Cephrir's role is directly related to the post at hand and that Cephrir pulled material from his role pm to make that post. There is no evidence in favor of this assumption; in fact, later posts highly suggest this is not the case as Cephrir denied MUSH's guess in .

The following two go together.
In post 106, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:Ircher why do you think I'm making any claims about Cephrir specifically and not a general statement about anyone in the circumstances Cephrir finds himself in
In post 111, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:Ceph and I have never played together, there is no meta being used here

I guess you're still scum. Great job bolstering my early hypothesis
MUSH's argument here is that I am scum at least in part because I misinterpreted one of MUSH's earlier posts as being a specific observation about Cephrir rather than a general observation. For reference, the post I misinterpreted was :
In post 63, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:Look if you didn't want to get burned down early then you should've used your noggin before you fluffposted, now its too late and that's your problem not mine
I would like to point out that if you are reading chronologically (and thus haven't seen the elaboration in , then it is very easy to interpret this post as MUSH scum reading fluffposting in general. My assumption was since that in the general case, that does not equate scum, there must have been something specific between MUSH and Cephrir that led to Cephrir's post being scummy in MUSH's eyes. does not contradict my initial assumption; in fact, it reinforced it. Finally, there was also Lady Lambdadelta's take in , and her take is in fact a meta read. These factors combined, my original assumption, while incorrect, was reasonable. The issue here is that MUSH is trying to twist this around and paint it as scum!me protecting scum!Cephrir. MUSH is completely ignoring the "how would town come to this assumption" and instead jumps straight to the conclusion that reinforces MUSH's own preexisting bias. The argument that I am scum for making an incorrect assumption is fallacious because it completely ignores all the other equally plausible scenario and instead picks the one that fits in the most with MUSH's narrative.
