I wasn't backpedaling, I legitimately misinterpreted what milkshake meant due to the word having more than one common meaning. Is the sentence you put in apostrophes suppose to be some kind of paraphrase?

@Sposh: Stop ignoring my questions.

@AlmasterGM: I won't be claiming unless there's more requests for me to do so; mainly due to the fact that most of my wagon is based on some "information" that either doesn't exist or isn't as conclusive as Hoopla seems to be implying.
charlatan wrote:Hoopla's "code" isn't the reason the bandwagon is there at all. It's a contributing factor, but Sposh and I both voted before Hoopla, for reasons stated in the thread.
I've been put at L-1 and asked to claim because of Hoopla's code. Your and Sposh's "case" certainly weren't the driving factor. Neither of you have given convincing reasons as to why I would be a good lynch, even to the point of some parts of your cases being completely untrue and/or nonsensical.

I'm getting tired of Sposh ignoring me, let's try bold.

@Sposh:
I have two questions I want you to answer. Ignoring me will not make me forget about them.

1.) You've accused my vote on milkshake of being a double-standard. How is that so?

2.) It's been two pages since you declared how great of a lynch I am. Has that changed? If so, why? If not, why are you not voting me?

Don't put words in my mouth, at no point have I said this point was nonsense. But yes, looking at it now I understand that it wasn't really game-related; at the time it stood out to me more than anything else that had been said all game, especially after he avoided answering NAW's question about it.

When you said I should have asked a question to go along with my vote, or Sposh saying that my vote was scummy because it was a double-standard or when you both said I parroted CoCo, for example. I believe there were more odd/untrue things said as well. I do in fact follow your logic on some of the points, I'm not trying to pass off everything as completely ridiculous.

-Scummy/easy vote on something that was likely not even game-related.

unvote
because I believe Hoopla when she says it was just a gambit. I'm not ruling out the possibility of it being a scum gambit but I see no reason to assume it was.



At this point my #1 suspect is AlmasterGM. NAW's post 268 rather accurately expresses some of the suspicions I've had for a while. Specifically how it feels like AlmasterGM is just trying to get any kind of lynch he can while contributing nothing.(I'll elaborate further in my own words if anyone wants me to.) In addition to what was already said, though, are a couple of things:

Firstly, his "CoCo is scum" stance is very adamant, though his only reason he has ever given was post 174's "he hasn't posted anything". It isn't clear weather he's more concerned with a lack of posts or a lack of content but that isn't very important to the point I'm trying to make. At the time of that post, "two open-ended questions that didn't go anywhere" was actually a larger contribution than he had made to the game.

His other suspects are Peabody and hiphop, which he again has never given a reason for suspecting. He even goes as far as to say peabody is scum in post 243. This pattern of never giving even the slightest reasoning as to why he suspects someone becomes much scummier once you realize that he hasn't even backed up his suspicions with a vote, and, in fact, he opted to keep his vote on me even after his only reason for voting me was revealed to be a lie.

Vote: AlmasterGM




I see that hiphop is at L-2. Is the entire case against him just the fact that he was defending me?



Also, for the record, I don't like CooLDoG at all, though I suspect he may act this way as town and scum. I plan on reading through his previous games a bit later.

@milkshake: What do you think of the possibility that hiphop was simply trying to play to his town meta(as he mentions in post 219), perhaps going a bit overboard in the process? Why wasn't this included in your possible scenarios in post 292?

@Hoopla: Why do you want to policy lynch today?

@Sposh: No, they shouldn't claim. There's other ways a no kill can occur, and even if a doc did block the kill he would have no way of knowing it.

Peabody wrote:Because you voted on day 1, I'm assuming you still believe he is mafia. Has your case evolved or detracted at all?
I wouldn't say that it has evolved much, but he has continued the behavior that I found him suspicious for in the first place and his reactions to the pressure have been scummy.



Case on AlmasterGM
These are in no specific order.


• He calls CoCo and Peabody scum multiple times, says CoCo needs to die, etc, but has never voted them.

• His cases against CoCo and Peabody basically don't exist, but he acts like he has good, legitimate cases against them.

• Instead of voting for one of the two people he thinks are scum, he jumps on my wagon and tries to get me lynched quickly, without giving Hoopla a chance to clarify what "information" she had.

• He keeps his vote on me even after Hoopla revealed she was lying, despite only having voted me because of Hoopla's lie in the first place.

• At one point he starts saying he's "liking hiphop less and less", only to wait until his lynch becomes inevitable to hammer him.

• His response to the pressure on him was scummy.
His initial response to my case is here, where he basically says that I suck and should convince myself that I'm wrong.
He doesn't contribute or post anything more than one-liners until there's some pressure on him.

I don't see how you can justify saying that Hoopla tried to derail hiphop's wagon; as I recall she was instrumental in causing his lynch.

I haven't forgotten about him. While he has gone this long in-between posts before, the timing of it this instance is note-worthy.

AlmasterGM's case on Sposh is certainly legitimate, but neither that nor the Vanilla claim change anything for me.


Peabody wrote:The thing about Almaster is he is playing just like his meta. He was town in the game I played with him, and he still did one-liners. Everyone tended to see him as scummy.
I don't think anyone has voted Almaster for one-liners. Was there some other part of his meta you were referring to?
Empking wrote:Three questions. All serious.
1. Yes.
2. No.
3. No.

The reason I say that you can't really justify saying Hoopla tried to derail hiphop's bandwagon is simple: You're saying her gambit was an attempt to derail his wagon, but I don't believe he would have been lynched at all had it not been for that gambit.

unvote, vote: Sposh


I've had a gut scum read on Sposh for a while now, and his scummy reactions to even the most insignificant amount of pressure put it over the top for me. It's difficult in some instances to turn a gut read into a
good
case, but I feel fairly comfortable doing so at this point.

Case on Sposh• His part on my D1 wagon
Sposh wrote:I really think Messiah is a good lynch for today! Thought it would be nice to see the encrypted information too.
At this point his only stated reason is here. Shortly after being asked why I'm a good lynch for the day he expands on his reasoning here with a false statement; he later says he was confusing two of his games in this post. I've looked through his ISO in all of his other games and I can't find the words "double" or "standard" ever used in any of his posts, though I won't rule out the possibility that I'm just missing it.

• His interactions with hiphop(In addition to the below, I endorse AlmasterGM's points 1 and 2 here.)
Sposh wrote:So, hiphop, you're still voting on a gut feeling eight pages in?

Unvote, Vote: hiphop


How about some more content behind that vote, hm?
Just 4 of his posts(and two pages) after declaring how good of a lynch I am he votes for hiphop. This post feels off to me, like it's forced and isn't in-line with the tone/attitude of his other posts.

Rolefishing

Appeal to emotion

• Scummy responses to pressure

In this post:

He doesn't provide any defense against points 1/2/3/4 and instead makes an unresponsive statement, his defense against point 6 is simply to deny that the accusation is true even though it is, and I don't think even he understands his response to point 8.
Sposh wrote:I don't see how I can be getting suspicion for something hiphop does
This is a terrible defense and he probably knows it. Looking closely at interaction between confirmed scum and living players is a necessity.

I apologize for not having posted the last few days, I've had no access to a computer and posting on my phone is a pain.




The case on CooLDoG is decent, and I considered most of the points brought up against him before voting Sposh, but I think Sposh is significantly more likely to be scum.

@Sposh: In post 510 you were going to decide between voting CooLDoG and Empking, what changed since then?

Hoopla wrote:Hey Messiah, what do you think about Empking's play so far?
I don't really like it. He basically lurked through D1, especially at the end; and while I still feel that saying your gambit was an attempt to derail the hiphop wagon is fairly rediculous, if he honestly thinks that I don't understand why he isn't voting you.




@Empking: It may just be because I'm tired, but I don't follow. Why do you presume Howard is claiming scum?

Also, Sposh's continuing refusal
to explain why I'm the best lynch is noted.

I'd really like to vote Looker right now, but it appears that she's at L-1. She makes a far-fetched assumption to justify refusing to believe Empking is confirmed, and I can only see scum motivation for doing so.

I do find your summary quite unfair, actually. This part of the case was much more important to me at the time:
Messiah wrote:... This pattern of never giving even the slightest reasoning as to why he suspects someone becomes much scummier once you realize that he hasn't even backed up his suspicions with a vote, and, in fact, he opted to keep his vote on me even after his only reason for voting me was revealed to be a lie.



charlatan, did you read the post where I quoted the mod confirming that Looker hadn't received the flavored role pm?

charlatan wrote:He had actual debates with you and hiphop, even providing real reasons for his votes. The fact that he was making baseless accusations elsewhere does not invalidate his vote on you.
He might have had actual debates with hiphop, but he certainly didn't with me. His vote on me was simply because of Hoopla's gambit.
charlatan wrote:Secondly, he did vote Peabody in the beginning. It cannot be dismissed as an RVS vote that he stuck to because a) he made it clear he was serious and b) an RVS vote has about as much meaning as repeatedly saying someone is scum without providing evidence.
He voted Peabody during the RVS for "being annoying". While yes, he stated in that post that the vote "wasn't random", it certainly wasn't a "real" vote. He then goes on to unvote Peabody before expressing real suspicion of him and never votes him again.




1.) Yes.
2.) Yes.
2.5) No. (But a group of two players that she is a member of - the replacements - is specifically mentioned.)
3.) I can't really answer this question as it would be up to the mod to decide.

I have one question for you: What is misleading or left to interpretation in the following two statements?

1.) "The replacements(HowardRoark and Looker) did not receive the flavored role PMs."
2.) "Actually, HowardRoark did."

That's true. My point, however, was that when his reason became completely invalidated(Hoopla revealed that she had no information) he left his vote on me while continuing to refer to multiple players as "scum".
charlatan wrote:I don't really see how this makes her more likely to be town at all
There may have been some kind of misconception here; I wasn't trying to use this as a reason for Looker to be confirmed town. I agree that it most likely isn't alignment indicative at all.

It may be a matter of opinion that nobody shares with me, but I can read the pages leading up to any of your big case posts and feel those posts rising safely from the general tides of public opinion rather than making your own way at all.
Right, well, I'm certainly not claiming to have been the greatest scumhunter this game, but the insinuation that I've just gone along with popular opinion is simply incorrect.

I couldn't find a reason to suspect any of the times you went without posting for 2-3 days were timed conveniently, so I mostly rescind this point.

I was mostly concerned with Hoopla and Sposh's vote on Cooldog because it just seemed to come out of nowhere. I hope that answers your question, Messiah.
Yes, I'm fairly satisfied for now. I still don't like that post at all, but that can only go so far.

Sorry for not having posted yet, had a busy weekend.

I agree with Hoopla's suggestion, that way we can keep the doctor hidden until absolutely necessary.




As for who I think is scum; Seeing as there's an acute lack of decent evidence against anyone, I was taking a look at all the possible combinations for remaining scum.

This list will not include any groups with me in them as I'm attempting to articulate my own thought process, and is in no particular order.


charlatan/Hoopla
AlmasterGM/Peabody
Hoopla/Peabody
Peabody/charlatan
charlatan/AlmasterGM
Hoopla/AlmasterGM

At this point I'm going to remove all the possibilites involving Hoopla, the one person I have a solid town read on. My town read on her is mainly gut, but I place a lot of faith in my gut town reads.

This leaves us with three possibilities:

AlmasterGM/Peabody - On first thought this seems like the least likely of the three, mainly because Almaster has been calling Peabody scum for the entirety of the game. However, I certainly won't rule out distancing, especially in light of the fact that Almaster never really put any kind of pressure on Peabody at all.

Peabody/charlatan - I can't think of anything that makes this one particularly more or less likely than the other two, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

charlatan/AlmasterGM - This is my current pick for most likely remaining scum. For one, AlmasterGM is almost certainly the scummiest living player. Aside from that, though, is that this scum team would explain the one thing that stands out to me the most about charlatan's play this game, which is the way he switched wagons from Almaster to CooLDoG.


In conclusion: charlatan is most likely one of the remaining scum, in which case his partner is most likely AlmasterGM.

The reason you gave for unvoting Almaster, which I believe came down to him finally contributing in a pro-town way. Unless the purpose of your vote was to get him to start contributing(I don't believe it was, correct me if I'm wrong), suddenly turning your play around by contributing and acting pro-town when put under pressure shouldn't be a town tell at all, as I believe you yourself have said on multiple occasions.

Is it? Because I don't recall saying anything about the way you go about getting better reads. Regardless..
charlatan wrote:This is not exactly accurate. I did not remove my vote as a function of him suddenly doing something worthwhile.
This is what you said when unvoting Almaster:
charlatan wrote:I certainly meant the accusations I leveled against him, but
something about his responses has pushed him closer to my good graces again.
When accepting the likelihood of a lynch, he got his opinions out there and left some parting words for the town to digest the next day, which is certainly pro-town. I'm still going to watch him, but for now I'm going to unvote.
Orange
- What part of this doesn't read like "Well, he's contributing and acting more pro-town now, unvote."?

Indigo
- Is this the part where I'm suppose to understand the real reason that you unvoted him is that you were done seeing how he responded under the pressure?

A case against me consisting mainly of wifom? Well, that's rather difficult to defend against. If we're buying into the 2:10 theory(which I'm heavily leaning towards at this point) then my not being on hiphop's wagon is an extremly solid point, but the rest is pretty wifom filled.




Like I said before, I'm leaning heavily towards buying into the theory that we're playing a 2:10 setup; in which case my scumteam pick is certainly obsolete and Almaster is my pick for the remaining scum for the suspicious way he went about hammering hiphop.

charlatan, the way he mentions that he's "liking hiphop less and less by the post" and waited until his lynch was absolutely inevitable to hammer him.

FWIW, I agree with your reasoning behind not suspecting Peabody and I still think Almaster is the remaining scum.
