That said, the NKs are fairly illuminating. Especially solstice - he was killed primarily because he's a good townie and he was correct about VE. Solstice and I were interchangeable for those purposes, but I am spared because VE is committed to getting me mislynched (a reasonable play given that he thinks he can rely on xsebt and synystyr's votes if they're town). His push on zephirdd is there because he knows there's support for it from dropula at least I guess.
Who the mafia are:
VE
hassybaby
BKE
other two are somewhere in hier, glasse, dropula, synystyr I think. My bet is hier glasse at the moment.

He set a trap by not talking about zephirdd? Ok... I'm just following up on anything and everything you say because I think you're scum. You said you were going to look at him again, therefore I wanted to know if you followed through on that as scum tend not to. I don't know zeph's alignment for sure but I do lean town.

(A) He makes lazy cases that are unresearched. Not just against me, but also against erandorr and against zephirdd. Read what I wrote about his case on me yesterday.
(B) He REFUSED TO KEEP IN CONTACT VIA PMs WITH SOMEONE (1) AND HE THOUGHT THAT THAT PERSON WAS SCUM (2).
Let me expand on that further - so you're a townie in VE's shoes. You think maybe I'm scum and that I'm connected with zephirdd. Therefore you set a trap... by refusing to talk to me about zephirdd???? Why, if I'm scum, do I keep haranguing a townie to find out what his read is on my scumbuddy??????????? Why the fuck would I care about that if I were scum? Especially because in that scenario, I'm trying to lynch the guy I'm haranguing. So why would I give a shit about how good his reads are on other people in my scum team? Why would I call attention to that?
No.
If you're townie, and you're a mason, and you suspect that the guy you're masoned with is scum you PRESS him. You don't set traps by NOT talking about a potential scumbuddy of your target. You re-engage. Ask questions. To hammer this point home: WHY STOP TALKING TO SOMEONE YOU THINK IS SCUM? How can that possibly help? VE isn't afraid of being manipulated, I know that. So why, after he switches back to thinking I'm scum, does he show no interest in talking anymore?
(C) I just realized that VE accidentally might have just trapped himself with this zephirdd thing.
To explain: he is claiming that he ignored my questions about zephirdd because he thought I was scum, and wanted to see what happened.
Let's look at the first assertion he makes:

heh ok. Any questions for me, since you think I'm scum again?

For the record, you had me fooled. Thankfully, you weren't able to get me lynched so I can make up for my folly tonight.
Don't even TRY to shoot me, medics will be all over my shit after this night.
You're done sir. DONE.

what time zone are you in ? I'm actually about to go to sleep. but chat tomorrow perhaps?
lemme know your answer to how your thoughts on zeph have gone this game.
also curious to know what you make of hassy.

Give me a little bit to get home. My Skype name is REDACTED
Original Message From talismania:
Yeah you mentioned zephirdd earlier in the thread, when you voted for him "yeah I can lynch zephirdd" or something like that. How has your thinking on him evolved over the course of the game?
Original Message From VisceraEyes:
That's the theory, yes. Obviously that's speculation and in no way provable...but he had to know Bugs would out him, and the way he reacted to it didn't seem in line with that knowledge.
Here's the thing about this tone...faking nerdrage is one of the easiest things in the world. Honestly if I were scum that's probably how I would have reacted to your case on me - however, I'm not even sure I think that's what's going on with Errand. I think Errand is GENUINELY upset by Bugs' repeated insults. But the problem with that is that he's using the insults as the SOLE DETERMINING FACTOR in determining Bugs' alignment - and he refers BACK to the insults in trying to sway votes TOWARD Bugs. THIS is what I have an issue with. The way he's using the whole escapade to try and swing a Bugs lynch based on BS.
And as you say, he has done fuck all besides...so it's hard to determine his alignment OUTSIDE of the whole thing.
As far as my further scumreads go, I'm looking into Bugs' latest target (Xter or whatever) and Zephirdd myself, but I think consensus is going to favor lynching into the masons unfortunately (-.-) so it's really for posterity in case you get your way.
I'll let you know what I find.
Original Message From talismania:
ok we can keep going by pms for now.
On eran - I still lean town on him. The major point with him is reconciling his personality with his alignment. he seems genuinely like a typical aggressive nerd. abit too prideful and prickly when it comes to people challening their opinions. I don't think he's making that up. The small posts in his filter read town to me - where he asks people questions and then follows up on them, for instance. His fight with wbg in chat was not very productive and certainly not how I would have done things but neither of them seemed to be in the mood for just hashing things out. I will say that he hasn't done much since the wbg issue has died down.
your feelings about erandorr stem from his masoning of bugs, yes? you think he did that knowing he would be outed, knowing he could get on wbg's nerves and hopefully force a lynch?
Original Message From VisceraEyes:
I have
more time at work, but I can make time at home too. I'll pencil you in.
TL PMs are fine for me either way - that's all I used to communicate with Bugs (he keeps really odd hours -.-) so that's pretty much what I'm used to at this point.

I don't have an irc client on this computer though I suppose I can get one (I'm also at work). will you be free when you're at home or do you have more time for this stuff at work?

Our whole conversation was about zephirdd? Please. Firstly:
Show nested quote +Over the course of those conversations, I was left with the feeling that he wasn't REALLY after information at all - that he was looking for something specific…something that I'd referenced earlier in the game.
If by this you mean "after some negligible small talk about irc and skype", the course of our conversation was this:
You: what do you think about erandorr
Me: I'm looking into him but think he's town for the most part.
You: yeah here's why I think eran is scum. also here are my other scumreads, which I'm giving to you completely UNPROMPTED.
Me: Oh, I'd like to hear more about that zephirdd guy since you mentioned him earlier in the thread as well.
How the hell do you go from that to getting that the entire conversation was building up to me asking about zephirdd? It wasn't. VE brought zephirdd's name up, unprompted. Not me.
It gets better though.
My follow-up question about zephirdd was sent on August 7, 8:29. His reply about giving him some time to get home came August 7, 12:47. Then my follow up question since he didn't say anything in that reply about zeph, then he goes cold in PMs. Despite this, he makes the following post in the thread:

TBH I'm not sure - at first I thought he was town, but as the PMs dragged on it felt more like an inquisition - like his mind was made up already and that he was just like...gathering ammo or something. He never shared HIS thoughts on the people he asked about, simply asked me about them and then freaked out in-thread when I was a little late with response.
I'm leaning town - just misguided, really really WRONG town.
He's also posted that he's done in PMs. So he thinks I'm wrong town - yet when I ask him to just follow up on his read about zephirdd (after this post) he does nothing as a trap? How does that make sense? Like imagine you're a townie, and you think a wrong townie is on your case, possibly putting you in danger of being lynched. You ignore their questions?
By the way, AFTER all those quotes of me asking about zephirdd he makes the following post addressed to me:

talis I'M NOT SCUM! Nothing is going to be clear because I'm not going to flip red! I'm going to flip Lane Pryce, Town Mason. Flip ACTUAL scum like Erand with me! Or clear out some of the background lurker noise, frankly I don't give a shit - but I'M town and I'M not going to flip red!
Indicating that, at the very least, he still leans town on me. So during that entire period of ignoring my follow-up question to something he brought up he did not actually have a scumread on me. This "trap" was made up after the fact. It wasn't until after the lynch that he PMs me, saying that I "fooled" him and he was onto me and all that.
(D) VE has very few doubts. In general, townies are unsure about their scumreads. Read through all of VE's scumreads. He's never uncertain. I don't know his meta on this point but at the very least I consider this a weak scumtell.
