After my most recent 9P game, we need to get someone to L-1 ASAP. Trust me.

Firstly,FOSon both Robbnva and Fourseen Circumstance for the ridiculously-rapid wagon on Benmage.
Robbnva, could you explain what happened in your last 9p that made you want to run someone up as quickly as possible?
Prof Guppy definitely seems off to me – second post is way too early for a claim, especially one like VT. Benmage has already covered most of this, but it’s worth mentioning that Guppy seems almost antagonistic to me in how he’s talking about his claim.
Benmage: I don’t like this bit:

If I did, for instance, say "As scum, I would claim to be Power Role X."...
As scum you would claim a PR for no reason? Thats fucking retarded. Don't be obtuse. The point is you saying your town doesn't mean you couldn't or wouldn't do the exact samething as scum.
Prof Guppy did not say he would claim a PR without reason if he were scum, yet your post seems to be written as if he did say that.
I also don’t like the phrasing of this post:
Ugh. It feels like everyone’s jumping straight onto my scumdar.

Prof guppy, when you fos'd benmage, you said you didn't want to vote cause you didn't want scum to hammer this looks like you knew he was town. The claiming VT like that to pass off the n00b town isnt working for me either.
Gonna say you and your distancing buddy are scum together, worse case you are a VI who will do nothing but ruin the game as you lack basic fundamentals.
vote: prof. Guppy
I fully expect backlash, bring it on.
Robb, there is a 7/9 chance that Benmage is town. I was trying to be cautious. This is just the way I play the game. I could just as easily say that you are scummy for wanting a quick lynch without any scum hunting at all.
Some players, like you, want to lynch first and find scum later.
Some players, like me, would rather find scum first and then lynch the scum.
Neither playstyle is any more or less scummy or town.
And what are those "basic fundamentals" you claim I lack?

Now I remember FC... he'lll lurk, lurk, and lurk somemore. And his logic will be .... Anyways we will not find a better lynch D1, so its a go!
CHOO CHOO

Could you even tell me, for instance, what my reason for pushing FourseenConsequences's lynch is? Or are you just determined to make sure everyone sees what a bad guy I am? I think there's a term for that, but I'm about to lose my reception as I go through this tunnel.
Yeah wow, everything would have been fixed if I knew what p.edit meant instead of you, you know, directing the parts of your post you want directed at certain people AT those people.

Your hammer seemed awfully town-motivated when you did it, but today's post simply oozes fake regret and elaborate fake caution. If Guppy's scum I'm actually willing to wager that you are too. Hint: I think Guppy's probably scum.
No read on Sable Tip. Why is that. Speak.

PEDIT: Any reason you didn't unvote, Fourseen? Or do you want a chance to collect your thoughts before making a game-relevant post?

Right now I'm really thinking Robb scum, but I'll actually post a case soon. His quickhammer before a claim is bad, and I thought he was scum anyway yesterday before that.
First, let me say that I am sorry for not posting more than I have. Frankly, the reason I haven’t posted is that a large amount of the game so far feels like just random arguments which don’t really make me feel one person is more or less scummy than the other – I’d go so far as to say that the entirety of day one is pretty null reads to me. I’ll try to re-read it properly again to see if I’m missing anything major…
feels like he’s trying to figure out how a pro-town player should be feeling, then figuring out what he can say to make it look like he feels that way. I

Did you just claim everyone's scum but you?
I think there’s a pretty good chance overall that you’re scum. You were definitely taking jokes way too seriously at the beginning of the day yesterday, and you’re making a lot of dumb statements. This could be just plain stupidity, but it also feels like you’re considering your posts carefully before posting them. In general, I’m much more willing to trust idiots who don’t think about what they say than idiots who do.
Like I said, I was finding it difficult to get a grasp on the game. I should have posted more, I don’t deny it; I was more hesitant than I should have been and the more that I hesitated, the harder it was for me to absorb the game.Then I didn’t want to make a substandard post, so I just didn’t post.It was a bad call on my part.
In post 183, Dunhamganger wrote:I found the scum. You're just too much of a reactionary (and uselessly noisy) player to pay attention.
Slandaar, you ready to vote for N yet? Your absence in this thread except to mention that this game is "funny" and your vote on Guppy rather than N are starting to grate my "Slandaar is probably town" nerve.
Everybody else, it's N-voting time. (Not you, Robb, I know you're not capable of it.)

Usually, I'd be right with you, but when Guppy and Slandaar (and you sometimes) are acting so much scummier, Dun is, by process of elimination, more likely to be town.

...Yes. I don't understand how this is an unusual stance.

In post 194, Slandaar wrote:Trying to be Mr.Protown is ridiculously contradictory to your quickhammer.
b) Bad play is most likely to come about in three scenarios - where the player doesn't think, where the poster is stupid, and where the poster is scum.
So it's impossible for someone to understand another person's perspective, or feel that their actions have good intentions, unless you also understand and agree with their arguments and reasoning? I suspect that Guppy simply felt that some of his posts had been substandard and understood why I might vote him as a result.
Interesting. These posts - while not directly contradictory - don't feel right to me. Both feel generally pro-town, but they feel like they're coming from two different pro-town stances; one wanting action and a good number of votes to provide information, the other stressing caution and wanting discussion, debate and argument before moving forward. It seems off to me that you would post both of these perspectives within 24 hours, with nothing obvious in the thread that would make you change your position so rapidly. Townies are more likely to maintain the same perspective whereas scum are more likely to say whatever is necessary to appear pro-town, so these two posts taken together trip my scumdar pretty badly. Combine that with the craplogic, your blasé attitude at the start of the day, and your play day one..
1. Having the sensibilities deadened by excess or frequency of enjoyment; sated or surfeited with pleasure; uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence; used up.
2. very sophisticated; versed in the ways of the world.
3. uninterested and attaching little importance; - of attitudes toward duties.

Assume you are town here and you got lynched, people are already suspecting guppy and your town flip doesn't help him much. People will still suspect him no matter what he did.
Aside from defending you, why else do you think guppy is scum?
is the reason you suspect N due to the "lurking" you claim he was doing or other things?
Also if lurking is a scum tell, thoughts on Sable who admitted he was lurking and thoughts on McStab who is also lurking.

Whose lynch am I opposing (apart from "everyone except Slandaar and Guppy")? I didn't think there was enough of a day 1 to oppose nor endose a FC lynch.
I didn't say Guppy's plan of "defending" me was a good one; I just don't see any other reason for him doing it (and so clumsily too) other than to try to get town-cred. And I'm pretty sure I answered why I think Guppy is scum already: his distancing from Slandaar, his lack of input, and parroting others' opinions, for a start.

You really seem to like that phrase, which I used once when summarising my thoughts (despite the fact that the rest of my post made my point obvious). Between that and you challenging my use of the word blasé, it almost feels like you're trying to discredit me by making me look stupid.
McStab had not clearly explained his reasoning at that point. I agree that Dunhamganger also hasn’t really explained his reasoning of late – and I would appreciate him being a bit clearer – but at least earlier on in the game, he was quoting the bits of posts that made him think the way he has, so his reasoning was obvious.
I was more hesitant than I should have been and the more that I hesitated, the harder it was for me to absorb the game. Then I didn’t want to make a substandard post, so I just didn’t post. It was a bad call on my part.
