I didn't like some posts from Deus and the first one of Squibbles that much but this won't tell me anything. I'm just not a fan of this rather pointless policy discussions. People can talk alot about these things without adding any useful content. I won't read to much into early contentless posts though. Bad experience last game. | ||

Ivlosk: I said earlier I liked his first posts. There isn't anything else to say for me right now. No idea about his alignment. LoneMeow: Sounds reasonable to me. He brought up the policy thing but someone has to start discussion somehow. | ||

Relying on modkills for lurkers is really scummy btw. Good thing you say you would vote them if they keep lurking Holyflare. | ||

DeusX super agressive as a townie last game XLV and is playing somewhat the same. Maybe you should read the context of my post? Alakaslam asked who was around and I answered so he could ask me questions or whatever he had in mind. Would you mind explaining why doing this instead of lurking is a scumtell to you? I will be here most of the time until the deadline btw. so if anyone wants to discuss something with me go ahead. I will read some filters right now because I think I caught something on the last pages (have to make sure). | ||

It is a policy lynch based on what may be IRL circumstances. Is there actually something wrong with his posting, other than the lack of it? If not, may want to reconsider... ... As according to his own deadlines, he will likely be modkilled. It is 9:15 on the west coast. Any better reasons though? As the same goes for Xzavier... So if squib is preferable guess what I'm definetly willing to switch if Squibbles posts something useful or a better target appears. It mostly is his lack of posting but the 2 posts he made also added nothing to the thread. Yeah, I guess iVlosk should explain himself - doesn't look to good. | ||

I am not so sure about IVLosk being town - I don't think his careless posting is enough to give him a town read especially because he is a veteran mafia player. You raise some interesting points about HolyFlare. I will read him again (he was null to me before your case). | ||

I would really like to hear what it is you found out. I am not conviced HolyFlare is scum. If he really wasn't available before the lynch it is not that surprising he voted Xzavier because he couldn't have known we would wagon iVLosk. It's not a good decision but I can imagine town HolyFlare doing it. He is the one I am the least suspicious of between the xzaviervoters. Also he is right about him being the one who really started discussion (apart from policies) Day1. I am far more worried about the lynch bs that happened. Alakaslam and Deus changed the outcome in a very shady way. This only really makes sense if iVLosk isn't town though (or is there something I don't see?). I can't imagine Deus and Slam both being scum and thinking they would get towncred for that so they are probably not both scum. At the moment my gut says it's iVLosk and either Deus or slam who is scum. | ||

That is exactly what happened to vlosk and probably why I felt bad about it- and that may actually go for deus. What, must I be the town voice of caution or are we to go nuts lynching our own. Last couple games scum wins go figure. But yeah srsly vlosk defend even just a little while I'm gone plz. So do you think iVLosk is town or not? I don't understand you. | ||

He looked very motivated pre game and you describe him as an agressive, active townie in the last newbie game. I don't see that at all in this game. He started with some policy posts without saying anything. That's ok in itself but after that his activity really dropped down. He wasn't agressive instead he asked generic questions like this: On August 16 2013 05:23 DeusXmachina wrote: Analyzing peoples previous games to determine their role this game, good or bad in newbie? After I mentioned that policy talk doesn't add that much he quickly backed off. Feels really defensive (although this post isn't that bad apart from that). On August 17 2013 03:06 DeusXmachina wrote: Yeah scum could talk policy all day. Lets put all this lying, lurking, and what-have-you talk aside for now. I am going to vote reps or xzavier if they don't start posting. I want to push for a lynch day 1, and as of right now they are the best candidates. If reps/xzavier are tied for first then a close second would be, well.... everyone else. Although, I can't help be suspicious of holy. Last game he was pretty try-hard and this game he seems pretty detached. I won't press it for now though because he said he was busy. Anyway, I think our goal should be pressuring xzavier and reps to get them to participate. Lurkers won't be tolerated! His scumhunting pretty much only revolved around lynching lurkers. Easy thing to do as scum. On August 17 2013 09:07 DeusXmachina wrote: Lets entertain a scenario. Reps or Xzavier are completely aware that the game has started and are intentionally not posting. They don't feel any real pressure so they aim to do several things: A) Contribute nothing to increase the chances of a no-lynch day 1 B) Contribute nothing to avoid mistakes or posts that could get them unwanted attention. or the less likely C) Play a lurker roll so their scum buddy can bus them. How easy would it be to drop in and say, "oh sorry guys I couldn't post because.... blah.. blah.. blah...". Some of you are already assuming that they are just afk. Why are we tolerating lurkers? What seems weird to me is his stance on iVLosk. First he defends him. On August 17 2013 07:45 DeusXmachina wrote: I don't think his hypocrisy is a reason to be suspicious. He probably just wanted to come in with flare, hence his aggressive first post (not counting rap). Holy would you rather focus on iV or reps/xzavier? Pressuring xzavier or reps might get them to start talking. Then he is suspicious of him: On August 17 2013 09:38 DeusXmachina wrote: I am growing suspicious of iV. The way he handled holy's pressure seems scummy. He seemed more interested in discrediting Holy than actually contributing. + Show Spoiler + On August 17 2013 09:09 iVLosK! wrote: "I noticed it" =/= "this is scummy". It's sorta more like what you're doing. Putting together a case on me without actually voting me. Read D1 of my first game on this site. I don't like that shit and happily lynch people who do it. This is a good example. Attacks holy and contributes nothing to town. On August 17 2013 10:01 DeusXmachina wrote: Seems more egotistical than sarcastic.

After that he 180s on his read without any reason (because iVLosk didn't contribute anything after this point in time) and tries to destroy the wagon with all his force. He also tried everything to get Deus off the wagon and immediately sheeped him after he voted Xzavier. I really hope slam, Deus and iVLosk contribute more Day2. The only thing I am pretty sure off is that Deus and slam are not both scum. This would be really weird play. | ||

So here is my answer to you but first: I thought about the whole thing since yesterday and I will admit that the lynch conclusions alone are not enough to forge a solid read on someone. I got caught up in this because your voting was really stupid even if it wasn't scum motivated. If you read what I said you know that I already mentioned it doesn't make so much sense for scum to voteswitch like that if iVLosk is town. And iVlosk is right that this is kind of an association case and that they are bad. Still I don't really like how you responded to my case on you and I will tell you why. Yeah, I quoted a shitton if you want so say it like that but I always explained what's scummy about it if it doesn't speak for itself like your voting pattern. You don't even adress one point of my case directly instead you are saying I am scum for pushing you? Wow, now I am impressed. Thats's the scummy way to "defend" against a case. You are absolutely right - a townie should change his reads if there is new information but did you really do that? What happened between your vote on iVlosk and your vote on Xzavier that changed your mind and if there is nothing why did you vote for iVLosk in the first place? If you can explain your thought process through yesterday to me instead of just claiming there is no way scum would do that I would consider changing my read on you. Also please explain to me why you didn't know it was plurality lynch when it was mentioned several times before the lynch (did you read the thread at all?). So far I see your case on me is that I am agreeing with people on things + OMGUS. Yeah, great case. Other than that: I am suspicious of Omni myself. He is obviously right about me but if I understand him correctly he obsed before he replaced so it is easy to know who looks townie to people and who doesn't and scum likes to give townreads. It is easy for them to give strong reads because they know who is town and who isn't. But what really gets me thinking about him is his reasoning. He doesn't even really consider iVLosk to be scum and still insists on you or slam being scum and I don't follow that. There still is only one alive player who I really have a considerable townread on and it's not him. I would really like you to keep being active Day2 and to keep posting reads. If this means you have to push me - do it. The same goes for iVLosk who didn't contribute anything for a long time now. I don't want to call him scum for not defending himself before the lynch anymore because it was very shortly before the deadline that he got voted but still several people were suspicious of him and there was always the possibility of him getting lynched earlier. I don't know what to think of him. It really sucks that slam is afk for half of the dayphase btw. | ||

Most of what he's said and done has largely just messed with town, and although he is my weakest town read he is still town imo. All of the association cases against him are useless till we know Slam/Deus's alignment. Also from what I quickly read it looks like Deus didn't actually address anything in JAT's case and tried to brush it off and then redirect suspicion at others. I'd be fine with him trying to give his scum reads if he actually tried to clear up his mess and explain his own posts. Also Deus from how I read it, the inconsistency isn't the constantly changing reads town has, the inconsistency is you saying one thing, and then doing another immediately after with no reason behind it. Did you even care who you voted for D1? I can't tell. Also cases don't need to be long and lengthy, having a short case with a ton of incriminating posts doesn't make it weak. How about you actually talk about those posts instead. I'm going to grab some lunch / late breakfast and then get back to the questions directed at me ![]() I expect more of you. In this post you only repeat what has been said earlier (by me). The most important question for me is: Why do you think scum Deus or slam voted like that if you think iVLosk is town? Why should they make themselves look bad if they could just stay on the active townie instead of the completely useless one? | ||

You state this and list a few posts whch I made very early Day1. Of course I am unsure at this point wtf! Please point me to your clear statements early Day1 if you want to accuse me of this. As far as I know the only thing you did at that time was discussing lurkers. On August 20 2013 17:50 DeusXmachina wrote: He starts off with this very reserved style. Not only does it hinder discussion, but it's a way to play unnoticed. He doesn't set himself apart from other players by taking an early aggressive stance as this would draw attention. He doesn't debate with anyone, say anything radical, or say anything that could come back to haunt him later. It's this reserved style that makes me think he is scummy. Dude, show me one player who took a really agressive stance Day1 in this game. Apart from maybe iVLosk. Especially you did nothing like this.

If someone raises a point against me I defend it. There is nothing scummy about that. And if you accuse someone of not scumhunting you better did a shitload of scumhunting yourself (hint: you did not).

In the moments before the conclusion of day 1 he says: but interestingly doesnt bandwagon on the Xzavier vote. Hmmmmmmm. I ask myself why? Is it consistent with his play style? Absolutely fucking for sure it is. Has he done anything at this point that would make him stand out? No he has not. First and foremost: It isn't enough to just state I am bandwagoning. Your goal as town should be to find scum motivation behind it if you want to include this in your case. There isn't. I said I don't like this because there were many people who didn't even vote at that time and it was very possible for them to return like you did. At this point it felt to me like scum was just waiting and considering if they had to do some last minute shit. I did not bandwagon on Xzavier, true. Now you want to tell me this is scummy? wat? I think it was stated often enough that your voteswitch was utterly terrible and stupid and now you are telling me I am scum for not following you? I stayed on the only person I thought might be scum at that point while you voted a 0 poster. Please tell me more about how scummy I am for this... You proceed by quoting some posts where I agreed with people.Yeah, those posts themselves don't have that much content but you should include the context. Almost always there was some kind of discussion before. Why should I not state my agreement if someone convinced me of something? Also, I have quite a lot posts in this game of course there will be some posts that are not that useful.

It is weak argument, he feeds of others' ideas, and offers little analysis on how my actions are scummy. This is just plain wrong. I don't really see anybody besides you who calls those arguments weak btw. (that because they aren't). Instead there were people who stated they liked this case. I guess they are all my scumbuddies then? I did not call you scum because you didn't answer every single point of the case. I called it scummy that you didn't even adress a single one. And it is scummy. Now to the stupidest point of your case: You think it's scummy that I tell people what I want them to do? It SCREAMS scum to you? The questions I posed and the directions I gave to people really started discussion in this thread several times when there wasn't anything going on. They ARE solid contributions. This helps people to to read others and it especially helps me because there always is a reason for the things I say. You even say it is bad how I am asking others questions? What the hell man? How am I supposed to get a read on someone if I don't get them to explain their reasoning to me. That's how I scumhunt (a thing you should maybe try someday because what you are doing right now is just OMGUS without thinking). If this is a really dominating scumtell to you then I don't understand you at all. A townie should not critisize another townie for creating discussion. You are either one of the blindest and OMGUSy players I have seen up to this point or you are scum. | ||

In fact, in some situations, I think spammers can be more detrimental to town than lurkers. I equate non-contribution to scum. I am glad you brought this up. I was thinking about this a lot in my last game. Well this is a newb game. Hopefully players can read some of the initial policy and learn what not to do. Lynching people who say stupid stuff got me into a lot of shit my last game. That being said, I am all for aggressive play and doing whatever it takes to weed out scum.

So far judging by the posts I am leaning town on deus but I cannot be certain and null for everyone else. It's too early for me to make an educated guess when the majority of people have yet to really reveal intentions. I'm thinking the larger players have been talked about a bit more, meaning they will always be under scrutiny, but that only helps them if they are scum. Only making that of note, not implying anything. I went back and read Squibb's posts and one line stuck out to me. This seems overly defensive. Slam passively called him a lurker but did not pursue it. There was not any real suspicion on Squibbs, yet he felt it necessary to defend himself.

These lurkers on hindering discussion, they are not putting forth new ideas, and they are not scum hunting. I will continue my firm stance on this, lurking is scummy.

I am not convinced he is scum. As I reread I got the feeling everything up to his last post about me could be a townie who made a big mistake under pressure at the deadline Day1. Before he made that big ass bullshit post on me I was about to consider him town again and I now know why again. It's this post that I liked: On August 20 2013 04:00 DeusXmachina wrote: Just got up. Ill answer the questions directed at me 1 by 1. JAT's is first + Show Spoiler + On August 19 2013 19:46 justanothertownie wrote: So Deus, you don't like it if I quote you - ok. I don't like to quote such an enormous post anyways. So here is my answer to you but first: I thought about the whole thing since yesterday and I will admit that the lynch conclusions alone are not enough to forge a solid read on someone. I got caught up in this because your voting was really stupid even if it wasn't scum motivated. If you read what I said you know that I already mentioned it doesn't make so much sense for scum to voteswitch like that if iVLosk is town. And iVlosk is right that this is kind of an association case and that they are bad. Still I don't really like how you responded to my case on you and I will tell you why. Yeah, I quoted a shitton if you want so say it like that but I always explained what's scummy about it if it doesn't speak for itself like your voting pattern. You don't even adress one point of my case directly instead you are saying I am scum for pushing you? Wow, now I am impressed. Thats's the scummy way to "defend" against a case. You are absolutely right - a townie should change his reads if there is new information but did you really do that? What happened between your vote on iVlosk and your vote on Xzavier that changed your mind and if there is nothing why did you vote for iVLosk in the first place? If you can explain your thought process through yesterday to me instead of just claiming there is no way scum would do that I would consider changing my read on you. Also please explain to me why you didn't know it was plurality lynch when it was mentioned several times before the lynch (did you read the thread at all?). So far I see your case on me is that I am agreeing with people on things + OMGUS. Yeah, great case. Other than that: I am suspicious of Omni myself. He is obviously right about me but if I understand him correctly he obsed before he replaced so it is easy to know who looks townie to people and who doesn't and scum likes to give townreads. It is easy for them to give strong reads because they know who is town and who isn't. But what really gets me thinking about him is his reasoning. He doesn't even really consider iVLosk to be scum and still insists on you or slam being scum and I don't follow that. There still is only one alive player who I really have a considerable townread on and it's not him. I would really like you to keep being active Day2 and to keep posting reads. If this means you have to push me - do it. The same goes for iVLosk who didn't contribute anything for a long time now. I don't want to call him scum for not defending himself before the lynch anymore because it was very shortly before the deadline that he got voted but still several people were suspicious of him and there was always the possibility of him getting lynched earlier. I don't know what to think of him. It really sucks that slam is afk for half of the dayphase btw. + Show Spoiler + On August 19 2013 07:35 justanothertownie wrote: Ok, I read Deus filter again and I really don't like it. He looked very motivated pre game and you describe him as an agressive, active townie in the last newbie game. I don't see that at all in this game. He started with some policy posts without saying anything. That's ok in itself but after that his activity really dropped down. He wasn't agressive instead he asked generic questions like this: After I mentioned that policy talk doesn't add that much he quickly backed off. Feels really defensive (although this post isn't that bad apart from that). His scumhunting pretty much only revolved around lynching lurkers. Easy thing to do as scum. What seems weird to me is his stance on iVLosk. First he defends him. Then he is suspicious of him: Shortly after that Losk is town suddenly: But why don't vote for our townread, right? Then there is this: Followed by: Finally he claims not to have known this is plurality lynch which has been stated several times in the thread. He either doesn't read the thread or this is a bad excuse for his weird voting. I really would like to hear his reasoning for all of this. Also he should be way more active Day2 if he is town because right now I am really worried about him. For starters, scum reads based on the xzavier lynch are extremelly unreliable, and I will try to explain that by detailing my thought process. Ill say this again, the xzavier lynch is a MASSIVE opportunity for scum to capitalize on. It's a gateway to mislynching a townie. There was some talk about my inconsistency. I wouldn't call the moments before the Xzavier lynch inconsistent. At least in my case, the better word is impulsive. So my thought process: The most impulsive thing I did that day was vote iV. Shortly after, I posted what I was thinking. + Show Spoiler + On August 18 2013 02:56 DeusXmachina wrote: Sorry guys. I couldn't be around this morning. Read the thread. Although I don't completely agree with Holy stance against iV, everyone else seems convinced. Not sold on squibbs. I would rather vote Xzavier but that is clearly not going to happen. Fuck I might change my vote. iV seems to aggressive/antagonistic to be scum. I got in right before the lynch. I pan through the posts. Wow people seemed convinced iV is the best lynch candidate. Vote iV. Wait a second, I don't really agree with that. He is way to antagonistic, and aggressive to be scum. I don't think this is right. Well how many votes against him, we need 5 right? (Yes I genuinly thought it was a majority lynch. No I didn't catch where it said plurality. Yes when slam responded right after saying plurality I discarded it because I thought wtf does that mean). Nope this isn't right he is not scum. Unvote, vote Xzavier. Why vote Xzavier? Yes I actually thought it was a majority (Guys do you really think scum would say something so stupid?). I thought, you know what, I am sticking to my guns this game. I don't want to tolerate lurking. Why such a strong stance against lurking? Well I had a major lurker in my last game who turned out to be scum. Another lurker, although not as bad, who turned out to be scum. Okay, so in retrospect Xzavier was beyond a lurker. He was a no poster. But I thought to myself, I don't think Squibbs is scum just yet, I don't think reps is scum just yet. So he is the only one I can vote for. I kick myself for not voting no-lynch. But don't you see! That inconsistency, that impulsiveness is not scummy. Who is more likely to be impulsive? A scum who is constantly thinking about the ramifications of his actions, or a townie who is interested in scum hunting, not constantly making sure he does not look suspicious. Look how much shit that Xzavier lynch got slam and I? That would be, like I said earlier, a massive misstep by scum. That's why talk of scum reads based on the Xzavier lynch are so silly. That's why I think Omni is trying to capitalize on the lynch. Ill respond to JAT's case point by point. The first little bit is based on my meta. I think that is a weak argument. He is talking about how I am not being as aggressive. Well different game different situation. Second point. Back off the policy talk was not defensive at all. I was heading your advice/agreeing with you. My scum hunting was based off of only lurkers? I didn't have anything else to scum hunt at the time. I didn't want to talk about inconsistencies in IV's play and over-analyze his first post, so I didn't chime in with Holy. After that is the best example of my inconsistency. My read on iV was changing, that's all that needs to be said. The rest I explained above. Overall it's still a weak case. My case on you was not just based on you agreeing with things. It doesn't sound like an impossible scenario to me. The only thing that really frustrates me about him is his tunneling against me. I already stated why his case is bullshit and I won't do this again here. I don't understand why he attacks me and not Omni (I know he leans scum on him but he pushes me instead). I would absolutely attack Omni right now if I was him. He even stated several times that Omni is the one who is pushing an agenda with the Day1 lynch but instead he fucking votes me for laughable reasons. I don't get it. But I also don't see why scum Deus would do this - it's just bad/stupid play. Also it weirds me out how everyone apart from iVLosk voted him without a problem. Either they are a very obvious scumteam (I won't call it impossible) or something doesn't add up here. Any thoughts? I will see if I can find a better target for my vote for now. | ||

It could be taken both ways. Or are you saying that I have been playing so terribly that nobody would doubt your intentions? If you want to put it this way. Yes, that's what I'm saying. If people who voted you needed to be questionend this would be almost everyone. | ||

Furthermore, like you guys said, it is even more unlikely that scum would come to such a conclusion on a short notice, as it would require talk between both Alakaslam and JAT. The more likely possibility is that JAT is town, and voted off a scum. So that being said, this is my formal apology for tunneling you JAT. I was convinced that you were scum, so I concluded that your actions were scummy despite the more likely alternative. I have learned this is called confirmation bias. I know this is what you guys tried to tell me, but the important thing now is I am on the right track. I am sure it must have been frustrating! The best thing I have done this game, is defending myself, during what would have been a mislynch, and my case against Omni. I will re-evaluate Omni and iV in the days to come. I think my case against Omni still has some applicable points. However, I must make sure I am not creating evidence when there is non. So my final thoughts: In order to be an asset to town, I will do what I can to help out by pursuing the two likeliest targets, Omni and JAT. I think the best way to communicate to you guys that I am town, is to admit that I was wrong, and move on. It's ok. I think your points against Omni weren't that bad before slams flip but now it's not very likely that he is scum. It is not impossible though because he immediately voted you and stayed on you the whole dayphase but try to look at the game from his point of view: He joined with a townread on me, Lone and koshi (very likely all correct). This means there were only 4 players who could be scum for him. There is Losk (who he claimed to have a slight townread on) and the other 3 of them were on the Xzavier lynch. It makes sense for him to think at least one scum (if not both) was on Xzavier. Before the slam lynch I didn't rule out a possible iV/Omni team because I couldn't understand the townread but this is impossible now so it doesn't really make sense for scum Omni to push only you/slam. I think the most straigth forward lynch Day3 is iV. He has this weird connection to Alakaslam where they talk about stuff only they seem to make sense of while slam sheeps him all the time. That's not a very strong point but if iVlosk is scum Alakaslams actions Day1 finally make sense (I mentioned this earlier). Add to that how iV didn't do shit the whole game (and getting towncred for it, lol) and how he voted for Lone Day2 who in my eyes was looking very townie and is close to confirmed town now. If there isn't some gamechanging development tonight he should absolutely be our next target. I will post some more detailed reads later. I won't bother keeping them to myself because I won't be around for the deadline today and the remaining scum has a few really good nightkill targets (including me) already anyways. | ||

To me it sounded like you claimed to have made a second, better case on slam later which you didn't. That's all. | ||

Since we haven't heard from them that means deus is safe for now. Most likely we have a doctor and he has been missing who to save each night though. I think I know who the doctor is but that is irrelevant for now. Seeing as I am town and the person I think is blue is blue then that only leaves you on my suspicious list. Careful here. Any good doctor should have saved Lone last night. Also, is the mafia KP blockable? If it is factional jailing Deus wouldn't do anything. Or am I wrong? I think a cop who didn't get a red check yet makes more sense but speculating about blue roles won't get us anywhere. | ||

Are you using his inability to post as your reason??? just lol is right. Anyway JAT who in their right mind would vote on Xzavier D1 in the first place? This is the type of shit that is 1 scum did it, especially in the way Slam did it, there is probably another one on Xzavier. Slam had no reason to last minute jump onto Xzavier if he wasn't following some sort of weird plan imo. Exactly. But the only real plan I can see there is saving iV. | ||

On August 22 2013 05:37 Holyflare wrote: Look at how quickly he switched position from pro town iv to scum iv and then off that notion. Yep. But why? My take as I mentioned earlier: He said iV was the best lynch for later towncred in case one of them would be lynched one day. Then Lone and me suddenly voted iV and he was FORCED to vote him too. Otherwise he would basically claim scum. All that is fine. But why would he take his vote off iV if iV is town? He tried to prevent this lynch with all his might looking very suspicious in the process. No reason to do that if iV is not scum. Something nice in this regard: On August 20 2013 09:45 iVLosK! wrote: Deus's behavior just prior to the D1 lynch has far more town motivation than scum. I can be a little clearer on this because I actually know my alignment but what scum motivation is there to last-minute save the "bully" town and kill the silent modkill? In my experience, bully town is scary town to noob scum. | ||

If you don't think his case is valid, Omni, I would like to hear some reasons why. The fact of the matter is, Holy is one of the towniest members here. He was the first to make a big case against slam, and he was first to instigate the slam vote. This would be totally unnecessary as scum. So if you don't believe that Holy is scum, than believe that you are listening to a townie. His points are valid and he is doing legitimate scum hunting. Omni, you voted me, but I feel like you have not really built upon your first case against me. So what are some of your reasons for voting me, other than the ones you brought up in your first case, and the one shortly after? One thing that Holy touched on, that I would like to reiterate: Why did not switch your vote to Slam if he was your number two read? When everyone switched off of me, I was in no danger of being lynched. Thus, your vote on my was pointless. Maybe I missed your response. Tonight I am going to look into iV, mainly for my own reasons, I still need a little convincing before I make my vote. I promise to look at him with as little confirmation bias as I can muster. I have been trying to convince myself that it is possible he is scum, so that I can look at his filter objectively. Although, right now my gut says it's unlikely. It's good that you are here now. Those 2 were getting repetitive. So, who do you think is scum right now? Omni? I am eagerly awaiting your take on iV. Before you ask - I am not sure who the scum is right now. | ||

I like Omnis point about slam trying to get people off Deus. But I like Deus point about Omni being ok with slam when joining the thread, too. Holy is the only one I am leaning town on but I don't like big parts of his reasoning against Omni. iV is content just continuing not giving a fuck while not really being pressured by anyone (I would hate going into LYLO with him)... | ||

Also if you consider that fact the slam voted iV day 1, that means it's highly unlikely iV is scum. Why would a scum want to bus his teammate day 1. That's not wrong but it's a bit more complicated than that. Slam just mentioned in his special way that iV would be the best lynch at some point in time. He could have changed this read anytime if it weren't for Lone and me who voted iV immediately after that. | ||
