Why didn't you revote puns after your formatting fail?

I got distracted talking to MI and then Chris and that was more important.

Anyway, Mzero, I'd like to hear your thoughts on red.

Puns claimed town on page 1 and you said "that sounds like something scum would say", which red quoted and said "agreed" and the disappeared, until...

TotallyNotMI posted... How do we feel about this echoing/minor shade then disappearing?

MI called him out in this post on the next page. 5 minutes later...

red13n posted... <b>##Vote: puns</b>

Maybe not scum BP but still possibly scum.

Red votes puns with weak (read: no) reasoning other than he's "possibly scum" (literally every player in the game right now). I call out his weak vote, to which he replies with a counter vote and...

red13n posted... Its not even a vote and thats a dumb first post.

tries to back track his vote because the formatting failed and didn't count, which really doesn't matter because the intent was there. He never revoted puns since then, which tells me he was feigning activity because he doesn't care enough to place a real vote, and/or he's worried about the optics of being on a puns lynch. Either way I don't like it

also his nitpicking with Chris' use of the word "everyone" was really pointless and seemed like a massive reach

Everyone is possibly scum. The way it works, at least in my brain, is you all are starting at approximately a 30% chance of being scum. Day its rare anyone is going to hit more than 40-45% chance of me thinking they are scum.

Exceptions exist(Claiming a character that my character literally chopped the fucking head off of, for instance).

That's exactly what I'm saying. It's not a reason to vote puns if the same logic could be applied to the entire playerlist, other than yourself. (assuming you are town in this scenario of course)

Also chris hates when I do this but I'm going to invoke it anyway. I don't play WoW as much as I used to, but today was WoW patch day(Last major patch of the expac even), so it was a slightly busy gaming day. So if I've been a bit in and out, thats the base reason.

no I guess I left this part out I was thinking it in my head, his possibility absolutely was increased. Probably what, 35 if I had to put a number on it. Mainly because my one lasting memory of him is hes more carefree as scum.

Corrik7 posted...

Who has better reads than HB?

everyone except blade in this game so far

Puns claims town... hb and Corrik want to shoot... so they want to kill town i see well maybe not but puns out the gate with that is definitely interesting

I do not like Posts like these. Sultan going all 'isnt that interesting guys, hmmmmmmmm?'
He seems to hop from suspicion to suspicion the next page too.

---

Hbthebattle posted...

Here's my first question: Why are you suspicious of Han? Your reads seem to line up with his near-exactly. It looks to me like you were trying to push Han's opinion without actually looking like you were following him. Can you explain?

Im suspicious because I dont think Han and Blade are naive enough to get drawn into a petty town on town squabble. I dont think theyre both scum either.
If Im wrong about blade then I think Han is more likely to be scum than bad town.

When catching up I thought the blade votes were dumb. I thought blade would be more likely to just lose interest and AFK out and make all those votes just uselessly sit there.

Instead he went after 5tar.

This actually... feels like scum to me? Town Blade would be more likely to get annoyed and leave, scum blade stuck around to contribute? People who know blade better, talk to me about this.

---

Also while his points on star aren't wrong per se, memory is that star is usually a more non committal player, so his hedging first post isn't unusually.

---

Hbthebattle posted...

Sultan, if you're going to bed, why are you still posting?

Don't respond to this. If you say you're going to leave for a bit, commit to that.

I wanted to not seem rude and saw your question after i posted i was leaving so i wanted to answer 1st gosh now who is the rude one

---

Sultans 'confusion' over Lea posting on the wrong board seems too dumb and like him pretending to be his normal bumbling town self tbh

I was really effing tired at that point shouldnt have even been playing... i do feel like an idiot for that... if it seems fake to you ill take it but definitely didnt help me look good at all

Red looks town town to me. First person to really give me that vibe

I was going to make a similar statement so ill just say i agree with this, adds more reasons for me not like Blade

What did you like about that exchange?

Good night.

Red not backing down and poking at chris for bad logic of well if everyone (not everyone) thinks puns is scum he probably isnt...

Hey Sultan since you are here
I wanted to ask you.. What is/was your opinion about Puns?

TheSultanOfSlam posted...

He didn't really poke at the bad logic though, just the semantics of saying "everyone"

Honestly at the moment id say puns is a town lean i don't think Puns would be like that as scum beacuse it kind of put a traget on his back and i dont think scum would want to do that at least i wouldnt if i was scum. I think puns was going hey im town im going to have fun see if anyone will actually come out and raise their hand as well (sort of as a move to see if he could maybe pick out a lier?)

But taking that whole page 1 off the table puns hasnt done much to convince me that he is more town then scum so hence the lean not a oh he is totally town

MI you'd tell me if you were scum right?

Always baby

I mean i did emply that was reds intention as well to say thats not the best reasoning and its also wrong reasoning he went on to say later

---

MZero11 posted...

Yeah this was my feelings too. It was a semantics argument that didn't really mean anything.

---

I like the way you think, guy who isn't MI

---

Night.

Yeah I got a vibe from Chris and red's exchange like it only continued as long as it did as a means of justifying the fact that it happened in the first place. Frankly though I don't really lean either way about either player based on it. Could see it happening as any combination of alignments because it was so minor.

Did any part of that exchange between Red and MZero actually achieve anything because I don't feel it did

TotallyNotMI posted...

Sultans 'confusion' over Lea posting on the wrong board seems too dumb and like him pretending to be his normal bumbling town self tbh

This kind of comment is made every game he's in. It's null.

Also Sultan is one of the few people in the game who gives me the impression he's actually trying. I don't feel like Scumtan tries to lead town.

Sultan's got the right idea in 386. I'll just throw this out there now. I'm Lori Lightfoot, Town Mayor. So there ya go

Last time Han and I were in a game together we totally submarined town by doing this for an entire day phase as town.

It was not as funny as it sounds.

Why did you claim

K anyway if you are mayor and I get lynched by a buncha virtual inactives do everyone a favor and don't mayor it please

I can see myself easily getting into a negative headspace where I sit there on day 2 posting hundreds of times solely to troll the game and not to actually play it


---

Shrug. I felt a little grimy for repeating my tendency of creating silly distractions early on and just figured I'd put it to bed and move forward. If people still wanna wonder at least it's more on them at that point

Plus I don't know that I've ever seen a situation where withholding a mayor claim had some cool effect. Though once I was a unique mayor role who was banned from claiming mayor. That just ended up getting kinda misplayed and it didn't end well for town so whatever. Not that detrimental if scum knows

Ugh I hate D1 mayor claims.

Can we agree now not to test him today no matter what? We need a D1 that actually gives us a lynch and information.

---

I suppose the exception to that is if turbo strongly disagrees with the lynch and wants to stop it, he can. I just hope that doesn't happen.

---

I have no desire to no lynch day 1
