It's a term I made up on the spot~
Looking through my analysis, it seems that muffinheadxBogre started in 286 when muffinhead asked what the arguments were against Bogre, correct? That seems to be the dominating reason people are interested in muffinhead; most or all of youse have said it at one point. But there are still a few sticking points on him.

...which Rhinox took to mean "I'll lurk, hope you understand". So far he's doing a good job of lurking, and we're doing a good job of understanding - but as far as what we understand of it, I'm sure muffinhead wouldn't like.

I haven't seen it.
His claims of semi-intentional inactivity and thoughtlessness aren't helping. ckd 311 shows that muffinhead's feeble attempt to turn around even ckd's sketchtastic tell failed. StrangerCoug's 312 is more interesting as a display of hypocrisy based on activity.
One could even make a case for muffinhead being another VI. By giving muffinhead generous helpings of the benefit of the doubt, I can interpret his posts to where they're actually not terribly scummy. Here's an example.
muffinhead 286 wrote:Im trying to understand the bogre case and i would like to request quotes of his scumminess if you want me to even consider joining the wagon. I would like to hear from bogre defend him self again.
muffinhead 307 wrote:I never said that i didnt think bogre was scummy. I said i dont understand the cases against him. In fact its quite annoying that he hasnt posted in ages. It seemed that no one liked his defence the orginal time so im asking him to do it again.
At the time, muffinhead has been fixated on StrangerCoug for a while now. In the first post he's asking about the case on Bogre and asks for reasons he would be considered scummy. Until then, he's on fire for StrangerCoug and not gonna budge. He then clarifies to say that while he thinks Bogre is scummy, he's still not the best choice as compared to StrangerCoug, but wants to see Bogre defend himself anyway (what exactly muffinhead thought Bogre should defend, other than perhaps "everyone else's reasons for thinking he's scummy", is unclear).

But to actually see him as scum... Looking back at Day 2, his argument against Ectomancer and wolframnhart wasn't that bad from a feasibility standpoint... but his StrangerCoug arguments were a bit flimsy (not necessarily so much when reading through the rose-tinted glasses I used above, but still weak), and for the rest of the day he's just been floundering. As I said before, I don't think he's necessarily Commando, but he's draining time and attention from the Town and unlikely to improve on his own.

Well actully i will mod a game then leave as thats what ive always wanted to do. Now i would like to go out in fassion with a win which is why i havnt decided to be replaced. But when you just dont have that intrest in the game its hard to find scum and help so if im lurking and looking scummy then I do apologies for letting the town down but it still means im here and I will help to the best that i can do.
Literally, he's staying in this game for his own pride. That's why I would like for him to be replaced.

Ectomancer 353 wrote:Alright, his eagerness to vote MafiaMann? I'm not certain that I saw it that way. He agreed with Clock's case when it was presented, and it was Clock's case that I referenced when I decided to also vote for MafiaMann. Why would he not stay on the wagon when I referenced the exact case he said he approved of?
Hmm... This is the non-quoted part of the post where muffinhead jumps on the mafiamann wagon.
muffinhead 113 wrote:This is an excellent post. I feel much better about clock so
unvote, vote mafiamann
He is acutally getting worse by the post, every post he makes looks odd in some sort of way and the above post explains alot which I totally agree with. At the moment he stands out as scummiest player to me more then anyone else.
Which is okay, I suppose, but then he doesn't say anything else until--
muffinhead 141 wrote:@ mafiamann- why are you going out there asking people to claim? You seem keen to get out there and reveal urself. Also your claim says everything the vanillia role says and it sounds as if your reading it as you go which looks really suspecisious.
I really don't buy this last sentence. Anyway, that's all muffinhead says about mafiamann until
within two hours
of his self-vote, curiously beating Rishi locking the thread.
I suppose I misspoke in saying that he was "eager" to vote mafiamann, basing that on his blanket "I agree with Clocksarian2" reason for voting; but then I reread to see that he added some of his own reason to his vote justification in 113. However, this does more clearly demonstrate that muffinhead was only slightly more contributory when he was active than when he was totally absent. Hence the utility lynch.

Easy, easy. *points the gun away from me like Bugs Bunny would*
As I said earlier, I can't justify everything Bogre did, and I will confess I had a lot of doubts about what I was getting into when I replaced in. (So sue me, I got bored and I've wanted to replace into a game ever since Cass replaced into one of mine.) But as it turns out (with some surprise), Bogre was - and thus I am - pro-Town. Thus, I'm... not pleased about muffinhead missing the arguments about Bogre and asking
twice
about them, because it does make my slot look pretty terrible. I understand a desire to see exactly what has made people upset about someone else, but at the same time, he kind of DID just miss a direct answer to it (although muffinhead did ask for quotes). I honestly don't know how muffinhead overlooked that answer entirely, aside from going right by it while skimming the latest posts when he was getting ready to post again.

I feel like I'm repeating myself to the point of being obnoxious for stating an overall conclusion, but here it is. I don't think there's enough here to safely say that it's most probable that muffinhead is scum. I do agree with offing him so we don't have to get hung up on him again, since I have to question the amount and quality he has contributed to the game. I would rather he be replaced, though, but if he specifically doesn't want that to happen, so be it. (If he's going to be replaced, according to the rules of the game the replace-request will be sent out next Monday.) I affirm separately that there are more people who need time under the microscope, but we can just as easily do that tomorrow if today's lynch is generally accepted.
