Mini 950: DCI Mafia (The Results Are In...)

[Nikanor]

CMAR! WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE YOUR VOTE ON ME IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO RESPOND TO WHAT I'VE SAID?!
Actually,

Unvote. Vote: CMAR.

If this is what it takes to get things done around here, so be it.

[Stephoscope]

Its nice of you to show up. If this is your definition of scumhunting then I find it very poor. Seems more like just commentary than anything. Any reads today? I see a vote on CMAR, for the stated reasons of his case seeming poor and a scummy predeccesor. Why is his predeccesor scummy?

muh316 was scummy because his posts and answers were ridiculously simplistic for someone who's been on the site a good while. And he only really posted for a one or two real-life day stretch. He may have just not wanted to be scum.

What do you think about Looker having flipped town? From your ISO:

If anything, I'm more convinced he's scum. I'm willing to take the heat tomorrow if he is lynched today and flips town.

How do you think this reflects on you? I'm undecided if this was meant to be so blatant we would ignore it or if you really thought he was scum.

It sucks; I was wrong. He looked like obvious scum to me.

A CMAR wagon will please me.

[Parama]

GODDAMMIT PEOPLE DO SOMETHING
I SUGGEST LYNCHING STARBUCK

[Nikanor]

I wouldn't be too unhappy with a Starbuck lynch. We need more people to weigh in on stuff, though.
You know what? I think what we really need is a quickly-built reckless bandwagon with next to no reasoning attached.

Unvote. Vote:Starbuck.

ALL ABOARD THE STARBUCK EXPRESS! ANYONE WHO HAMMERS GETS A FREE NICKEL!

[kunkstar7]

ALL ABOARD THE STARBUCK EXPRESS! ANYONE WHO HAMMERS GETS A FREE NICKEL!

Vote: Starbuck

<-- Wants a nickel!

Unvote.

I'd say CMAR is probably my top suspect at this point, with lurking, avoiding responding to Nikanor's rebuttal and seeming undue knowledge of the setup.

Vote: CMAR.

Not really seeing the whole Starbuck lynch, want to either give a quick rerun of your case on her or just point me to a post where you did? So far I see some distraction regarding Navy, but I think much of your suspicion on Starbuck Parama stems from her being the main opponent of you early on.

[Starbuck]

I'll claim now to save from later. I'm just a lowly VT.

[Starbuck]

Also, Nikanor, Happy Scum Day.

[Nikanor]

Starbuck...? Why the early claim? You had two votes.

Unvote. Vote: CMAR.

[Nikanor]

Thanks for the scumday wishes! Happy belated scumday to you (I seem to always miss the cake now that I'm on sepia).

[Starbuck]

Because I didn't feel like waiting.

I'm rather upset with the amount of arrogance and not fun that this game has become for me due to certain people.

I'm not replacing out because I stick to my commitments.

[Parama]

Okay I don't see why Nikanor suddenly changed after Starbuck claimed.
I know how this will look but a VT claim ain't gonna get NKed so there's no point in potentially outing a PR at this point. But bleh nobody's gonna listen to me.

I give Starbuck a cookie because Starbuck shares a replacement policy with me - I don't "do" getting replaced.

[Nikanor]

Okay I don't see why Nikanor suddenly changed after Starbuck claimed.

I was going for random bandwagons. CMAR had a bigger one.

[Parama]

I propose a master plan:
CMAR gets replaced by someone useful
Nicodemus gets replaced by someone useful
Starbuck gets lynched
Kunkstar gets lynched
Some third unknown scum (maybe CMAR) gets lynched

GG.

[CryMeARiver]

Wow, I completely forgot about this game :p

I am not scum. Due to lack of vote counts, how close am I to a lynch?

[Parama]

Not close enough to even bother asking.

[Nikanor]

You have three votes, CMAR.

[CryMeARiver]

His answers to the questions right up front made him very suspect in my mind. It seemed he was trying to dodge any questions on his strategy to me, possibly so he couldn't be held accountable for not following his supposed "strategy" later.

Well, this is not true. Honestly, I'm getting tired with answering the same "random" questions over and over. You try playing on this site for a year with over thirty completed games and see how thoroughly you answer those same questions.

This is a terribad answer.
Playing with new people comes going through the same routine. You dedicated time to answering the questions badly, you couldn't have taken 10 more minutes to answer them truthfully?

He asks this, yet never refers back to it. He provides no case on ani and doesn't refer back to whether or not people weighed in on his question and what he thought of their opinions.

I don't need a case to put pressure on people. The reason for why I asked that was for future reference. The answers were useless until I knew ani's alignment.

Yes you do. You can't just accuse random people without any reasoning.
What did the answers and his alignment show you oh king?

Failure to do so will put you at the top of my scumlist.

This was to get people to answer. I'm not stupid enough to think that not answering a question is actually a scumtell.

That's not what it sounded like. Either you actually thought that or you lied, your choice.

He then clearly bandwagons kunkstar for "active lurking and dodging". Seriously? He dodged the questions from the very beginning. At this point kunkstar has 10 posts with at least SOME quality, while Nikanor has 5 posts with nothing in them.

I pointed out that Navy had dodged a question, not kunkstar. And I'd say that my posts were of higher quality than kunk's, but that's just my ego talking.

That's even worse.
You pointed out that Navy was dodging. Then you voted kunkstar with no reasoing, but clear bandwagoning.

His reasoning is that Parama is "way too over-confident to be town". This is hilarious since he has made two over-confident statements himself in saying "Parama is scum" and "Animorph is scum, I demand to know what everyone else thinks" Over-confidence is a null tell as well.

Okay, by over-confidence I mean confidence of unusual amounts. I say that stuff as town all the time, while Parama has not been this confident in any of his town games that I've read. I can provide links if you'd like.

What else could over confidence have meant? Still, none of this changes the fact that you were hypocritical.

CMAR: Your case is made less valid because of the general atmosphere of apathy yesterday.

Nacho is mega ultra town.

This makes no sense.

CryMeARiver, why would a scum act hypocritically at this point in the game?

Why

wouldn't

a scumbag act hypocritically? More importantly, why are you defending me?

This surprised me. Distancing your buddy? Interesting tactic.
Scum would act hypocritically because they have to lie. Town should not have to lie. Therefore scum has a better chance of being caught in their lie - hypocritical.

But you used it as an argument against me. Stop backtracking.

Zomg opportunistic.

Again, this makes no sense.

Vote: Parama.

Gogo scumlynch.

Again, no case.

This is a good start. More to come as I read through.

[CryMeARiver]

Who is opposed to an ani lynch today?

I want

everyone

to weigh in on this. Failure to do so will put you at the top of my scumlist.

Unvote.

Vote: kunkstar7.

Active lurking. He has done zero scumhunting in the ~10 posts he's made in this game.

Obvious scum is obvious.

I have an announcement to make.

Parama is scum.

Carry on.

WHAT?!
Your statement was in direct response to CMAR's case on me. It had EVERYTHING to do with me and you most certainly WERE defending me!
Also, why is it that you don't think that scum would be hypocritical yet think that scum would misrepresent someone? How are those two different?

Unvote. Vote: Stethoscope.
Sccccuuuuuum.

Wtf. I don't think I can do that. NACHO, YOU HAVE MADE ME STOP MY TUNNELING WAYS. FOR THAT I GIVE YOU A STRAWBERRY. ENOY IT PLEASE I CANNOT EAT THEM BEcause I'm giving them all aaaaaaawaaaaaaaayyyyyy!
Also, DUH DUB DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH! (Imagine Spock vs. Kirk in a bloody arena).

I don't know who the scujm is! I'm so lost.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING I'M SO BAD AT SCUMHUNTING SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!! Sad

I'm seriously lost. I don't know who ANY of the scums are. I'm just stuck perpetually pushing random people. T_T

My God. I can't believe I actually wrote that last night.

Anyway,

Unvote. Vote: kunkstar.
I've forgotten why I thought he was not scum.

Even doing a quick read-through of his posts in iso doesn't give me any clues to why I thought he was not scum.
So, bandwagon ahoy.

Actually, now that I think about it, Nico is very likely to be scum.

I don't see how else he's been allowed to lurk for this long.
Unvote. Vote: Nicodemus.

I'm thinking

Nico+Starbuck+kunkstar

. Don't ask me why. Nico is a much better lynch than the other two, though.

I wouldn't be too unhappy with a Starbuck lynch.

We need more people to weigh in on stuff, though.
You know what?

I think what we really need is a quickly-built reckless bandwagon with next to no reasoning attached.

Unvote. Vote:Starbuck.
ALL ABOARD THE STARBUCK EXPRESS! ANYONE WHO HAMMERS GETS A FREE NICKEL!

Sorry, but this was way to good to pass up.

Nikanor NEVER Mentions

Looker

Nikanor Says Town

Nachomama

This is very interesting. He accuses half the player list of being scum.

[Parama]

I thought this would be fun to do:

Starbuck
Kunkstar

Nachomamma

[CryMeARiver]

I thought this would be fun to do:

Nikanor
Looker
Nachomamma

That's funny. One of my main points though was that the only person he somehow says is town is Nachomama.

[Parama]

Also, CMAR stop tunneling and outing yourself, it's embarrassing. I'm tempted to switch.

[Slaxx]

Starbuck's claim rubs me the wrong way.

vote Starbuck

I feel it was manipulative in a way. Way too early of a claim.

[Parama]

That's funny. One of my main points though was that the only person he somehow says is town is Nachomama.

Nachomamma is town.

[CryMeARiver]

You should have a signal for whenever you are being serious, because I can never tell.
