Yes, basically. If that's pretty much all they do. It's my opinion that being meta is a good way to appear active while not really ruffling any feathers. This is what I see you doing, even in the way you phrased this question.Zachrulez wrote:

unvote, vote zach. 39 and 41, taken together, rub me the wrong way. 39 is meta and 41 is defensive and meta.- Lowell

Also, doesn't suave have more votes? If your real purpose were just to make sure we get a lynch, wouldn't you go for the leader rather than suspiciously picking someone with fewer votes?Zachrulez wrote:Deadline's in 3 days guys, we might want to come to a consensus on a lynch here.

It's not clear to me why SUGGESTING a hypoclaim is scummy. I for one think it would be a good idea, and there might be others out there as well if not for the power of the mob to shoot the idea down before even knowing what I'm talking about. There are a lot of twitchy players out there and I don't like it.
If Suave and I are scum, whatsay we lynch Suave first, okay?
@farside- I am acting out... a little. The way zach clings to the mindless accusations on me suggest to me that he's scum. In ISO I've yet to see him do anything without mass public support, which is not exactly the most townish behavior.- Lowell

Cop results would be corrupted either way. Don't see how that's an issue. This looks like weird waffling from farside.farside22 wrote:I'm going to go over the hypo claim and where my thoughts on it came from first
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8924
This is the game I was mod in. They did a hypoclaim for the cop (fbi) and even though I knew who the cop was it actually confused the mafia more then helped. If fact the mafia guessed completely wrong and lost.
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8932
This game I was mafia and suggested the hypoclaim. Although in our scum chats it narrowed down suspects for us we still guessed wrong with the hypoclaim on who was what.
So yes it narrow's it down as scum know their claims are BS but the rest they have either a assumption based on the claims or town does the worst picks without reason which helps the scum.
in both cases this helped from outing a power role to the scum and helped the town more.
The only reason I'm not saying lets do this is because of the WIFOM with the tailor in the game. The cop results can be corrupted.
Again, I'm not married to the idea of a hypoclaim and am happy to let it die for at least another day if that's what folks want. I am, however, surprised by the speed of the response against it. Not sure why the conversation itself frightens everyone, but for some reason it does.- Lowell

I feel like I'm having this argument everywhere at once.
No, zach, it doesn't necessarily give the mafia an edge. The edge WE get is that if a cop dies before being able to claim we'll at least have their results on record. The cop results could be corrupted either way, so this isn't an argument againts a hypoclaim. Again, I don't care if no one wants to do it, but to pretend that there's no upside and to accuse anyone who sees upside as being scum is ridiculous.- Lowell

The above was posted a bit late. I missed this last page. Sorry.
I have nothing to add here, other than what's been said.
1) There are TWO cops, so the odds of her being one are decent. Either way I don't see the problem in keeping her alive.
It is certainly possible she's lying, but we'll find that out later. In that case, as soon as one cop reveals him/herself, the other will know she's lying. We'll catch her either way.
2) It is certainly possible the "tailor" could have targetted the same person (me) if farside is the cop. Still, given that there were 5 or 6 ppl getting attention yesterday, that is unlikely. So the obviously solution is to TENTATIVELY clear both farside and myself, at least unless something else happens to make that not seem true.

This is insane idiocy. I mean, comical insane idiocy.
So everyone's theory is thus:
farside, as a desperate scum, decided to claim cop, and ALSO IMPLICATE HER SCUMBUDDY by "clearing" him? Someone tell me why that makes sense.
I swear to god, if I ever had a scumbuddy who did this to me, I would bus the crap out of them, then find them in real life and punch them in the face.
vote scorpion. He's the most smug about this idiotic idea.
One other note: the remaining cop is now useless.- Lowell

Whatever, dude. Tunnel away.
For the non-idiots, reconstruct the whole scenario and tell me where it makes sense to believe I'm scum. Meta though it may be, you have to believe either (a) this was an incredible plan from the beginning, or (b) my behavoir was one of someone who ACTUALLY BELIEVED she was the cop (hence the now-useless debate about mafia framing)
Anyway, whatever else you believe, believe that SC is town. 469 is gutsy as hell, and would in no way have been made by scum, considering many of us (like me) believed the claim and had begun to move other directions, and others were likely to be swayed if the hammer didn't come. Had SC not made that post when he did, I do not believe farside would have been lynched.- Lowell

KittyMo wrote:vote MrSuave
Lowell's lynch is just as good if not better, but I mean, just look at what MrSuave posted on Day 2 and Day 3. It's ridiculous. We don't need Lowell at L-1 yet, in my opinion.unvote, vote kitty. This has struck me the most since the new day opening. Kitty thinks I'm a good lynch, but wants to play it slow and vote someone else. She's setting up a lynch of me, but doesn't want to be the one responsible. If I die and flip town, she'll then be able to pursue scopion or nik, or one of the others more swayed by farside's dying words.
That she's basically attacking a strawman while keeping the option of my lynch open (possibly as the hammer) makes me think she's trying to massage her image.- Lowell

@kitty- when I consider the scummiest actions the bandwagon on me after farside's death, then unfortunately OMGUS is what I'm left with.
The more I look at it, the less scorpion or zach really make sense as scum. Clearly farside was trying to set this up after her death, and I doubt the scum would so eagerly jump on this wagon. They'd lose whatever cred they had the following day.- Lowell

@nhammen- kitty tried to steer a lynch away from me while simultaneously saying how scummy I am. That's what makes me think she just didn't want to be caught on the "wrong" wagon.
@nhammen- I pointed out the inanity of the VT claim because those are the kinds of things that tend to derail towns and give scum a chance to have risk-free meta-arguments that last forever. - Lowell
