Im inclined to call you scum also

I don't care what you're inclined to call me, I care that you get inclined to vote thepeashooter. Read his filter and my case-- you haven't said anything about him yet.

TPS is almost certainly a smurf.

More reason, btw, why his so-called "case" on coag is bad. He should definitely know better.

exactly what i was thinking but its a case of WIFOM here and i honestly cant tell.

There is a possibility he's a smurf of a younger player who hasn't heard of coag, or he literally made his account just before this game started, just to sign up for the last spot. I consider both of these possibilities somewhat unlikely. And, even considering the apparent vacuousness of his vote on coag, he hasn't taken a stance on GK or Geript or really anyone or anything, ignoring all other discussion in town to tunnel his target. This is an easy way for scum to avoid meaningful interaction with town and giving out reads. We don't know anything about his thought-process, so of course it seems WIFOM-ey-- but his play absolutely prevents us from clearing the wine from in front of us.

I'm not saying he's a bad scum player-- this is a clever ruse. But he is scum. Town would have an opinion on GK, ESPECIALLY town pushing another lynch. Can this guy really be considered to be "pushing" coag given that he hasn't tried to stop the GK lynch at all?

He's putting forth a simulacrum of what a townie does. Clever, but not enough.

ok your bandwagon is pretty legit. I'd call for a lynch on Peashooter or goodkarma and a vig shot the next night.
No questions that is done.

I think I see what you're getting at, but all ribbing and geript aside, I won't be drawing associative tells between unflipped players.

The thing about this analysis, is that he hasn't done anything at all since he called out Coag. I think it's disingenuous to say he's tunneling Coag when he made a post calling him out, I asked him if he was familiar with his meta, and he freaked out within a short time frame. I agree that I wouldn't say he's pushing Coag, but we don't know if he's just apathetic to pushing it, or he agrees with other cases since he's gone inactive.

So I don't really have warm fuzzy feelings about the guy, but I think your case is somewhat misrepresentative, just because he hasn't posted and it's basing things as though he's actually been around to exhibit that behaviour.

He stopped posting 2 hours before the first vote on GK went down, but it's been like 18 hours since then. Where is he? He still hasn't weighed in on Geript either, and Geript was under pressure while he was posting in thread.

If he comes back, says he's been gone for 18 hours like grooming a chicken or whatever and he has serious thoughts to give, then I may rethink things. But as it stands, simply straight-up lurking and not posting is NOT a defense for his actions.

Will your thoughts on him be the same if he's gone for another 6 hours, wiggles? What if he's gone for the rest of the day?

I too am highly interested in how he will respond to my case and wat's taken place in town since his "departure"

but he is almost certainly a smurf, since the account was created yesterday.

If the idea is "be good" then SAST is fine and everyone should take part. I really don't care though, catching scum more important imo

trancestorm is literally wrong and bad. D1 is worthless-- wat? Maybe 2 years ago the last time he played mafia and everyone was bad or something

at least he's not pretending to be useful

DYH you say you agree that GK should probably be lynched today. Examining his play in NMMXXIV as town (link) I see a player who posts slowly and doesn't contribute much in the first half of D1, and only really starts writing cases (mostly unfocused and studded with FOSes at other players) as the game progresses. It's only in the later days that he picks up steam and starts hammering on players. In LVII as scum (link), GK comes out punching, immediately posting cases and voting/Fosing, and instead of pushing multiple reads, he changes who he focuses on as soon as his case fails to gain traction (instead of pressing on, trying to really get his target lynched). He also doesn't wait to formulate reads, he _immediately_ starts flopping mud at people.

The GK in this game is the town GK that I've coached and observed extensively. He is cautious, posts rarely, and builds up momentum to be a formidable scumhunter. This is not the kinda uncaring, willing-to-make-any--case scum GK that I've seen. He is not a good D1 lynch. He is not a good vigi shot. He is town.

"oh blazinghand you don't understand GK's meta" YES I DO. I coached the fuck out of this guy. I know how he thinks-- I taught him how to think. He is a slow moving guy but that's how he rolls. If you lynch him for playing his town meta and not his scum meta, you're literally bad.

Yeah okay zarepath is playing like shit in terms of his reasons for finding people scummy, and is utterly inconsistent. It smacks of a new scum player being coached, backtracking his thoughts, and generally being muddled. I also don't like that he hasn't weighed in seriously on the main wagons. That being said, this seems to me to also smack of "townie who thinks he knows what he's doing but is literally bad". I feel an urge lynch him for reasons similar to the reasons I want to lynch TPS, but he smells like a mislynch. He is ineffective and bad, but he has no fear of calling people out. This reveals imo a town mindset, albeit that of a bad townie.

"oh bh are you soft defending zarepath"

well admittedly yes, this is a soft defense. I don't have a townread on him. But he is playing recklessly and thoughtlessly, much like a poorly-thought-out town play. I can't let that lie.

I would also be greatly interested in hearing this. If you really don't think he's scum you shouldn't feel shy about saying it.

As an aside, VE, I would certainly like to join SAST but would be loathe to join it just to leave it for not voting for GK. TPS' most recent post has put me in a re-evaluative mood. soon I'll post a case so excellent you'll drop all this idea of "lynch GK"
