Not Voting (5): gobbledygook, pisskop, Aristophanes, Arya Stark, Pink Ball

With 10 alive, it's 6 to hammer!

Deadline paused until replacement for Arya Stark is found. Reminder to submit actions to both me and Elements.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I wanted to unite the power brokers to seize control of the game. Basically what Nero wanted but with me in charge instead.

I think Gobbles' ISO is a scumtell for him! His posts are a lot more meaningful as town.

I've been town with him twice to my recollection and townread him both times. I've been town against him and caught him once. I've been scum with him and he played pretty much like this.

Ok don't see it as a meta argument - his posts are bad, and that's scummy

I agree with Auro on Gobble and will offer two additional data points.
In both the SIR game and the cult game, Gobble was actively engaged as town and there was a stark disconnect when he got culted.
Granting the counter argument that cult style games are inherently bizarre to begin with, I do think there is a vast difference when he's scum.

I also think that he was scum with one of my teammates during team mafia this year (in the white flag perhaps?) and I was inwardly groaning at how bad his engagement is when scum.

Yes people can have down periods where they don't have time or motivation for mafia. Any activity / motivation tell is subject to false hits because of that. But I think it's a strong enough trend that we can't ignore it.

And as often happens I hit submit and immediately had another thought.
This is one of the areas I trust my scumreads much more than townreads. I'll get a tone/motivation/activity read wrong on town much more often than scum reads.

checking in
beeboy - Everyone thought this game was made to troll pie but it was really made to troll pisskop.
Almost50 pisskop: Overall, that's a townie slot. Don't ask for specifics because with PK everything can be interpreted either way. It's probably WHEN he says/does things that matter, so it's more of a matter of conception rather than solid reasoning.

@Dave: Gob was actually scum the entire time in SIR, Mastina caught him pretty quick :P I asked him to start behaving erratically to get read as infected, the first few days there was enough noise to make his lack of posting less noticeable

eh....kinda but I think I'm a bit more accurate than that.
