Good luck rationalising kush's play from any perspective. As in the post-game to my most recent newbie game, Hapahauli pointed out the significant difference in his town/scum play - his attitude. I'm nowhere near convinced his attitude this game is his scum attitude.
Anyway, it's been gnawing at me for most of the day, and I want to lynch kj more and more.

I'll give you a hint: we were masons together.
Now, why did you play well that game? Because you were confirmed town status? No. You played well because you listened to BH about how a townie should think and act. Go back and read your conversations with him, please for the love of god.
Otherwise I'm completely fine with voting you if DrH doesn't plan to modkill or replace you. Because I honestly don't want to put up with that shit for the whole game.

You still didnt reply to what you dont like about Shadys content. I apologize for my lack of specificity. I dislike his content because it is all caps nonsense. Not even proper trolling, just spam. They're not proof of alignment yet, but they give off a scummy stench.
The whole contrived/seems contrived has been gone over well enough. But if you're not going to stick by what you posted, why make these quotes at all? It's suspicion on people that he won't even back up properly himself. If you "don't want to lose them", that's what fucking notepad/excel/word is for.
What's pushing me towards kj instead of Shady though is the first 2 paragraphs. The first indicates that he's been around long enough to have mafia experience of previous DrH's games. In the 2nd he wants to focus on scumhunting, and yet has done none - it's just a totally empty promise. "Let's all do this! Except I won't myself! haha!" Much more than I feel with Shady, he should really know better.

I'd be down for kj lynch. Bringing up past experiences is a crutch for scum. They think back to a time when they were town and it gives them comfort. Id also be down for shady(omgus lynch), anul, or risen.

This had me interested since I've only experienced town-kush. Posting since more people might want to check it out (Im assuming this is what marv means): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=367548¤tpage=75

talis is known for posting much more as town than as mafia. But when someone has absolutely no posts at all, it's a bit hard to speculate what's going on.

His last post in the caller game was a few days ago, iirc.

This. There are scummys in here that need to go before we talk about killing people with one post.
Yeah, I forgot about a voting thread...but I'm going to be voting for KJ instead of Shady anyway.
@BC Your primary concern with the Shady wagon seemed to be that there was one. Is that the case? And if so, are you kidding me?
@ZBos I was as clear as I could be regarding KJ. Someone (I forget who) said they thought his comment about forcing lurkers into the spotlight by meaningfully posting was scummy. I did not, and that's what the first statement was about - I didn't find that particular post scummy. However I find him scummy enough to lynch based on the reasons I gave after that statement. I didn't go from "town read" to "scum read" as you seem to imply.
Also, does anyone else feel like I spent "about a billion posts attacking annul"? Because it didn't seem that way to me. It seemed more like one post. :/

I'd say three posts dear, but it seemed pretty unremarkable to me anyways. Although I kinda fondly remember the days where I'd (mis)lynch you for stuff like that <3

You have all been warned. Lynch him fine but don't say it's because you think he's scum. Because he'd be the first person in the history of mafia to give himself an out pre-game if he drew scum. Even if that was the purpose of his post, how does giving yourself an out pre-game increase the chances of him being (randoming) scum? God thats some silly argumenting.
I didn't make that argument. Learn to read.

Shady said before the game, before he knew his alignment, that he was going to troll. I have yet to see a shady case about his posting after his "trollfest" (if there is I missed it). If we lynch someone for doing something so non-alignment telling we are bad and we should feel bad. If you are voting Shady I want your reasons for the vote beyond "he was trolling and thats anti-town herp derp"
STOP VOTING SHADY SANDS WITH SHIT REASONING
I was thinking that we should lynch Coag because he hasn't put in any effort after getting mad at Caller about his game. He got mad at Caller for not allowing him to play in a game and then joins this one and parks a vote on Shady with shitty ass reasoning. The thing holding me back on this is that this might actually be how Coag plays, and I dont think I have played with him in a real game that I remember.
Austinmc hasn't contributed jack shit, which is very different from his usual productive town self
Kingjames was extremely awkwardly wishy-washy with his attempt to call out keirathi. He talks about focusing on scum hunting but has spent almost all his time trying to defend and focusing on himself. His first post also reeks of scum trying to look tryhard townie.
I want to a lot more from BC, his lack of contributions make me very nervous about him.

Do you and annul actually believe this is a scum slip. Do you both not believe that there are players that can hurt town, as town, and should be lynched? I don't care if grush, BM, or MrZentor flip town, they make the game next to impossible to win in the late game if they are alive as town or scum

so apparently this started
I'm caught up to about halfway through pg 11 at the moment so forgive me if someone has already said this:
VE is scum
basically he has a cold hard activity tell on him that I don't think he's shook yet. see this post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668¤tpage=73#1442 If I have time I'll make a pretty graph later. And he's made 11 posts in 24 hours in this game, right on target with his scum pace. His posts are qualitatively similar as well - they all tend to be of medium length with few of the quick one-off responses and conversational feel that his town play has.
combine this with the fact that he's doing a couple of things similar to what he did in mad men:
--Being a little inflammatory. He accidentally riled up annul, calling him a little bitch. He then said that he didn't mean it that way. Yet you clearly don't say someone is doing something "like" a little bitch without implying that they in fact are similar to a little bitch. His explanation was contorted and reads to me like he was goading annul more thereby shitting up the thread (might have worked had drH not stepped in). He did this in mad men as well ( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=352668¤tpage=46#906 )
--spending day one going after "low-hanging fruit" discussion-wise. I give him some credit for being original with annul, but the rest of his posts are just harping on the usual early day one controversies (kj, shady). I know VE is good enough to know that this post is incredibly optimistic:
On September 30 2012 23:28 VisceraEyes wrote: I've got my eye on ShadySands, annul and Mattchew right now. Pretty sure there's scum buried deep within that trio.
Will you help me figure out who, if any of them, is most deserving of a rope around the neck?
How is he really "pretty sure"? I'd say it's a trap or bait or something but he never follows it up as such. Instead I smell pre-justification.

Working on catching up. Did I absolutely miss this being discussed besides someone calling it a spy slip? People have QUOTED this post and not seemed to be concerned by this:
On October 01 2012 11:39 kingjames01 wrote: So what we're shifting towards is whether Shady's 'plan' to preempt trolling was legitimate or a cover-up?
That should not be the focus of our first day. Instead, I'd like Shady to come back to the thread and give us something more concrete.
Shady: what do you think about the assertion that I was being wishy-washy? Also, tell us if you have a spy read on anyone yet, who and why.
There's nothing in the OP about spy roles.
There's nothing in the opening flavor about spy roles.
There's nothing about spies ANYWHERE.
Spies a neutral faction and KJ part of it?

happily buying a seat on the kj bandwagon primary reasons: seems like it's either him or me at this point and I would rather it be him some vaguely scummy posts. For me the scummiest thing is talk of past experiences with no reason. I think it's a topic scums go to naturally.

forgot this part when typing above. This is as now verging on a failed promise. He hasn't been posting "exhaustively". And he paints this picture of a guy with a lot of pent-up energy after a two-week break, but then his posting is way off his town rate from before the break.

On the same subject keep an eye on Risen. I remember him saying that he was going to go back to posting a lot but then he kind of disappeared.

I don't think it's a scum slip, I think it's a tiny thing that adds up to him being the most likely scum candidate up for lynch right now.
He's completely fine with lynching a towny, just because... it's not like the person he's ok with flipping green is playing horribly. The main reason I'm voting for him was outlined in my initial vote post in here.

Shiao, you can thank me after the game is over. With that being said, I find the easy rando-vote at the beginning highly suspicious.

Explain your rando-vote without trolling as a factor. I don't believe you. This sounds shallow and only as reasoning you created to suit the confusion/disorder you created. ##vote: Shady Sands
The case against kj seems to revolve around him saying spy read. I'd like to see how he responds to that "slip". If he doesn't respond adequately (or at all since he seems to have fallen off the planet once someone pointed out the slip, maybe he's hoping it would just go away?) I'm all for moving my vote to him.
Another problem I have with Shady is a connection between him and ShiaoPi. I can't help but think if Shady flips red it makes Shiao look so much worse b/c

I mean cmon, this feels like the most fake posting I've ever seen.
To sum: I want to see how Shady flips because...
1) He's my top scum read (we'll see how kj responds, and a red Shady doesn't make him green at all) 2) It will tell me more about Z-Boson and ShiaoPi.
