But they aren't even really Green Day lyrics. They are Weird Al lyrics for the parody of a Green Day song. This lack of distinction is somehow even more suspicious. I admittedly might be paranoid, but this is still fucking sketchy.
I'm not defending myself from this. If you think that I'm scum because I posted weird al lyrics, go ahead and vote me.
Or you could just let me know what you were playing at. You're not going to bravado me into dropping it, but I'm also not voting you just for a song quote.
I was listening to Canadian Idiot on youtube and enjoying it so I posted some of the song lyrics as they came on. Which is usually what I'm doing when I post song lyrics!

Okay, fine. I don't like it coming from you, because you're the sort of player I could see a trick like that coming from, but I accept that the culture of the site allows for that sort of posting.

I mean I post song lyrics regularly.
I have used cues for scumpartners in the past but they're far more subtle: usually the first letter of the first word in posts combined with a signal to look for something indicates something to my partner and vice versa.
Here's some stuff that we were using in 685 where I had Titus claim a guilty on me since I didn't feel like I would be able to make LyLo with a shit ton of cops to randomly guilty me.
If they flip not-cop and you still want to bus me then pout at me. if they flip cop and you don't want to bus me then pout at me
so basically pout is polarity reversal

End a sentence with 'thanks for the help' emoticon or similar if you're ready to claim the guilty and if I'm ready I'll say you're welcome if not I won't say you're welcome
There was also one where the number of letters in the second word of a post with a specific smiley correlated to a strategy I wanted to try.

Hey, yeah we did an agreed upon bus? What's the relevant point here beyond suggesting you might be bussing RC? I came in with alban/navy as my top but what gives.

Second, wtf giga on checking Vedith rather than turning this game into a fucking cakewalk by doctor checking.

As a rejoinder to what I said and RC's response to that, I agree..Titus can't be trusted.

There's no daytalk. Phew! Imagine if there was indeed daytalk.

I think scumteam now has a fairly decent idea about which night each of the cops and docs are assigned to.

I am sorry I don't have much anything to add.

Posts like this (and pretty much all of his posts just don't feel genuine to me. Someone explain a better vote right now.

VOTE: alban

To be fair, even if that weren't the case, it was a good check. It seemed like yesterday, you were getting ready to string him up for non-compliance today. Also, anybody who opposed the Math wagon is definitely worthy of Cop scrutiny. I'm not saying that both other scum definitely opposed the wagon, but given the intense resistance we encountered on it, I'd say that it wouldn't be a stretch to think they might have been.

The relevant point is that Kelvin has spent the last 2 pages questioning why I'm posting song lyrics
so I'm explaining what my codes actually look like and that if I were scum who wanted to code a message he wouldn't notice it.

This supposes absolutely nothing: and if we in fact lynched a cop claim it would be Gamma in which case that wouldn't apply.

Is it though? I mean, if town were actually the ones opposing the Math lynch, why the hell would they not just turn around and go with you on the Navy lynch? Especially if Navy is scum, as you've been saying? They tried to derail a potential bus on a lurker by bussing on a player that the town (especially you, a vocal and influential player) opposed? Nah, that doesn't pass the smell test.

I feel like it would be fucking ridiculous to claim that there isn't scum among you, Vedith, and alban. Considering Vedith is confirmed town, that means we pretty much must lynch either you or alban. Of you two, I think that alban is more likely to be scum. But I could honestly see it go either way or even both ways.

@Kelvin,

I am not arguing zero scum in Navy/alban. Vedith can only be scum with a fakeclaiming town giga. That's ridiculous. Yet, I doubt Navy/alban.

To be clear, because it seems like people aren't understanding me, I'm saying it can't be Vedith anymore. I was only listing the people that were actively resisting the Math wagon. That means it's reasonable to suspect that at least one Mafia member was in that group.

If the lynch was an easy one, then a hard bus on Math would be a reasonable assumption. But for the remaining scum team to actively push a difficult bus when there was an easy bus/mislynch on the table with Navy just doesn't really make that much sense. To me that says that Navy probably isn't scum and that alban and/or Titus probably is scum. Of the two, neither honestly looks great to me. Titus is looking worse and worse, but I don't like that alban refused to cast a useful vote yesterday. That's why I could see alban/Navy as a scumteam.

@Kelvin, we almost for certain know Vedith is town (it's b.a.r.d.). I am town.

If Navy's town, why wouldn't that wagon take?
