Again, Athena's focus is overly narrow imo.
She focuses on Errant and only focuses on others when directly asked. Same behaviour on Day 2.

He was absolutely around, he just didn't comment on the wagon at all.In post 1858, CultOfAthena wrote:I don't think it was a question of reason – I don't think EP was even around for that wagon in the first place.
Two questions naturally seem to stem up from this;In post 1858, CultOfAthena wrote:Max is a gut townread to me. If he's scum he's been playing a very nonchalant game for having both of his partners lynched one after the other. More than that, he has some comments in his ISO regarding HWS!scum and tex!scum that really don't seem to come from a partner:
1. How is Max 'nonchalant' and EP is 'not nonchalant'? COuld I get a short list of who isn't being nonchalant and a description of how they're being nonchalant? (this feels like bogus reasoning to me so I want to understand it better or be able to showcase your inability to describe it in order to attack you)
2. I note you touting a number of examples of Max listing Tex and HWS as scumreads Day 1 as a reason not to scumread him.
I'll note that, despite these reads, he wasn't ever *voting* either of those slots. He was voting EP. How does that affect/not affect your read of him?

Because that kind of superficial interaction is common in general. Lots of people ignored texcat on D1, myself included. It's cherry picking to single out EP for this.In post 1870, CultOfAthena wrote:

D1 is usually a shot in the dark. There were a lot of other players he didn't really mention on D1. This looks like cherry picking.hadof texcat was superficial. How is that "cherry picking"?
Why not just fence-sit the moz mislynch? Why would he be so aggressive toward texcat?COA wrote:
You're not getting what I'm saying. EP wasn't "derailing" the texcat wagon to bus – he was hopping off of it to have his vote on a scumbuddy when the day ended (in the moz lynch). Nothing about it is a dumb strategy in the slightest – I'd say it's a fairly good strategy.What kind of scum derails a mislynch to bus? That is the dumbest possible strategy.
Your logic doesn't add up. Aggressive bussing is actually a terrible strategy. Going out of your way to make sure you have a vote on a scumpartner you don't intend to lynch is silly. Aggressive bussing usually comes back to bite you in the ass.
The only reason to bus is because you think that nobody else would do it, when it's actually one of the first "sneaky" things people think of. Most people who bus do so badly. Most of the time it backfires at some point. Add to that the consequences of being down one mafioso and you realize that bussing isn't all that clever.COA wrote:
"Because WIFOM"? I don't think you actually understood what I was saying.I don't see how this scum!EP tex bus makes any sense. It's a dumb move because WIFOM and bussing almost always comes back to bite you in the butt. EP is clearly not this stupid... We could get into WIFOM here, but we have room for 2 mislynches and I'd say EP's third on the chopping block anyway.
More votes on COA.
If scum!EP is employing WIFOM-based bussing, it will bite him in the ass before he has a chance to win.On hiatus indefinitely. This was a nice distraction when I was working through my faith transition out of Mormonism, but I need to move on to bigger and better things now.

yes, me too. he didnt vote when i wanted that Cult lynch to go through, and that had me worried for a second.In post 1876, Thor665 wrote:

But yeah, he's town. No scum motivation fo rhim changing his vote from Max to EP like that.
yes, we all know your upset because i voted you a while ago -try and get over it for gods sake and stop being rude.You've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...- mozamis

I think lynching Cult is a mistake I have meta on her, and she is kinda defensive as town anyway, and unemotional.
She may not have done a ton of scum hunting this game, but she's done more than EP.
Plus, i feel her responses to pressure have actually been pretty good.You've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...- mozamis

Exactly - that game were in Cult, when Scumcyfly kep t saying "Lynch me, lynch me!".In post 1873, CultOfAthena wrote:EP isn't at all acting like he believes that my lynch ends the game. Compare his last post and vote on me to moz or to Beefster and they way they've gone about this.
I think I've only ever seen people say that they'd be willing to get shot or to get vigged as scum trying to act nonchalant. The question also feels like a no win situation – say "yes" and people just lynch me. Say "no" and I get called the last scum to concerned about the game ending.In post 1872, Errantparabola wrote:The intent behind my line of questions to Athena: as third scum getting lynched ends the game. Third scum would not be willing to get lynched under any circumstance. Town might be willing to get lynched, especially if they thought that it would result in a gamewinning lynch for town next day. I would have actually thought that this line of questioning was obvious enough (RC did something similar to me in Space Invaders I think) and I expected for Athena to say something like "yeah I'd be willing to get lynched but I'd rather just lynch you now first" or something like that. Unsure what to make of her response.

I dont think it was stupid, i suspect he was surprised how quickly the Tex wagon went down.In post 1879, Beefster wrote:Basically, I reject your EP case because it revolves around a bus move that is actuallyreallystupid and is basically a guaranteed loss.
I've just looked at it again, and if you go back to it, he voted Tex early. Then my wagon took off, he stayed on Tex. Then the tex wagon happened quickly. He probably just "froze" -as scum often do, scum dont like changing their vote that much, it always draws attention (or they are paranoid that it will draw attention).
You can understand it - if he had unvoted, and tex was lynched, it would have looked bad for him.You've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...- Thor665

Considering the things you're complaining aboutme being 'rude' about are me noting how 'meh' your CoA case was, and now you're touting that CoA is obv. town and that EP needs to be lynched I would think you'd be a bit more mindful of me describing your cases as bad, because I appear to be correct from your current point of view.In post 1880, mozamis wrote:yes, we all know your upset because i voted you a while ago -try and get over it for gods sake and stop being rude.
I'm sorry that I keep pointing out your cases are bad?
How do you see EP scum working exactly?

Just as an argument for both CoA and EP being town.In post 496, texcat wrote:That leaves CofA, EP, HeWhoSwims in the null, but probably town category.

If EP is scum, then *both* of his buddies tossed *both* of their buddies into their initial null pile.In post 237, HeWhoSwims wrote:Leaves at null: ErrantP, texcat, Klick, and Thor, but apparently we need to read Thor as... Thor.

I think we should be ok. I mean we have 3 lynches, is that right?
So worse case:
We mislynch Cult today. Then it'll either be me or Ep tomorrow. If i'm mislynched, surely to god people will then lynch him lol
Be quicker to win today tho lolYou've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...- mozamis

@ Thor - you were being rude about "spitting mockingly". I know you are still wetting yourself because i suspected you awhile ago.
Just get over it.
Ep was one of your suspects a while ago, so you know why he is scum.
As for Cult - yes i changed my mind. You should try it sometime -then you might not spend the whole game tunnelling the IC and town next time LOLYou've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...- Thor665

I understand why EP can potentially be a scumspect - but then I ruled him out for reasons I explained.
If you're ruling him back in then you ought to be able to explain *why* you're ruling him back in.
Want to try that, or just keep up a dick measuring contest you're fated to lose?- Beefster

We'll get to EP later if COA flips town. Unless scum is in Klick, Thor665, moz, or myself, we have nothing to worry about.On hiatus indefinitely. This was a nice distraction when I was working through my faith transition out of Mormonism, but I need to move on to bigger and better things now.
