If you are going to ignore it, why did you respond to it? It's not hard to see which one of those two different attitudes it reminds you of. Doesn't explain himself, makes baseless accusations, etc. He also makes some seemingly "casual" response, like the "Wait. Wait" thing. That's not the way I see town Foo posting. It's a small thing, but it does add a sense of "this is wrong" to his post. When Foo starts posting and you get that feeling, he is likely scum.
This literally answers your question austin.

Austin, let's not chat. Tell me who you want to lynch. We need a lynch, YOU need a lynch (if you are town).

Actually, if you want to chat, let's chat austin.

So, what about Holy? You mentioned this right after I made my "case" against him and Hapa made some points against him as well (which you agreed here). So? You never mention him again. You don't mention him right now.
What's up with you and Foolishness? Okay, apparently you don't agree with my meta case (for some reason). Okay, that's not too bad I guess. But what about his actual first posts? You think they are GOOD? You only defend him against me attacking him for being "trolly" and the meta case, but what do you think about those posts he made?

You can't do anything until he posts more!". That is what I call bullshit. Can't speak for holy, but with me, it's that given the full menu of anything anyone could be doing, discussion of Foolishness's alignment doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I don't personally feel confident about reading THOSE 3-4 posts as alignment indicative, and don't feel comfortable with reading Foolishness right now. I don't understand anyone else feeling like the BEST read they can get on some scummy dudes is Foolishness. Mainly though, it seems like...good material for scum to post on. Weigh in that he's town, scum, a crocodile, whatever. You can say whatever you want about Foolishness, discuss his alignment until you're blue in the face, but really it comes down to "I think this thing about these 3-4 trolly/nothingposts." Given that, I think it's a more productive topic for scum (they get to post, give reads, but I don't anticipate anyone being lynched later on based primarily/heavily on whatever stance they took on Foolishness right at this second), than it is for town. That's why I don't think discussion should be centered on Foolishness, or heavily concerned with him. I care somewhat about him and his posting, but mainly it feels like a topic that allows mafia to freely post and keep discussion on Foolishness.
Ignoring the fact this is all fluffy "oh, I don't want to talk about Foolishness because scum are surely going to discuss Foolishness!", what about now? Nobody gives a shit about Foo right now. Only WOS and VE briefly discussed him, nothing more. So I guess there are no "mafia freely posting and keeping discussion on Foolishness" right? If so it completely invalidates this "defense" of him (or rather, avoidance of making a read on him), so you could as well start having a discussion centered on Foolishness. You can start by, like, posting what you think of his 2 "big" posts, and his reads and stuff.

You've got some problems with his play.
Looking at Parallel Worlds, i do not see the same stuff there as here. scumFoolishness there wasn't trolly, dropping dumb votes, etc.

Anyways I'm voting for marvellosity cause he's mafia.
##Vote: marvellosity
WRONG.
Anyways, you seem to be making a meta case FOR his posts not being scummy. Does that mean you think his early 3 posts were not scummy? Why austin? Everybody basically agrees they are somewhat scummy. Why are you DEFENDING those posts of his via some weird meta? Take those posts for what they are, posts from a player playing this game. What do they tell you?
At the very least, I take issue with 1 and 4 above in your summary of bad things about Foolishness. 3 is a perfectly legitimate question for anyone who was townie on Foolishness because of his reads in particular.
Why do you take issue with 1? You think it doesn't matter that Foo has his vote on a guy he doesn't want to lynch? And about 3, what do you believe? Yes, it's a perfectly legitimate question, so please answer it austin, don't wait for others to do so for you
Also, what's up with you and chatting? I thought WOS had an obsession with it, but you seem to be OCD about it wtf

Okay kita, I'll give you the direction: Today we either lynch austin or Foolishness You like that then?

Could be bias because I have precedent in PYP for sandroba in terms of an early game lurk then blasting onto the scene, but as was mentioend before (I forget by who atm?) sandroba was actively engaging the thread when he was around, whereas Foolishness basically hasn't talked to anyone, he just threw stuff and fucked off multiple times.
That'd be a sexy sexy man

Well, that's all cool austin, but that stuff makes me want to lynch you. If you convince me to not lynch Foolishness, by proxy you convince me to lynch you. I'd advise you then to convince me to lynch someone else.

Well, if you don't like them then get to it.
Sorry for getting too jiggly with it, but let's get some consolidation please? You are here complaining about the direction and not knowing what to do. I'm trying to get you to do something then. Same with others Can you tell me what you think about the stuff austin posted (i.e his "bad" post)? What about his read on Foolishness, or the fact he doesn't post anything substantial whatsoever? Anything you want to add?
If you guys want to single out marv, well, okay. But please put more effort into it. Like, check his previous scum/town games, or put something with more substance as a case. Although I don't really want to go read it (it's kind of long), I don't really have any conflicts with marv's play this game, and, for instance, MTG Mini Mafia 2.
The "strange" thing though, is that I don't think I ever played with scum marv with me being town. That was primarily my reason for FoSing him in MTG (since he was playing different than the "usual" town marv). I guess it does mean I don't really know how he'd play as scum against me lol. Anyways, this marv doesn't really seem like he has an agenda. I think I read some previous scum game of his, were you could see he was casting suspicion on people, trying to do "stuff", etc. He's harmless in this game.
I also think that marv kind of is using town strategies this game. Like, early on, he said he was gaining some reads, while he was poking people, etc, but he didn't post anything else about them. Marv is a big advocate of the "Keep town in a need to know basis" town strategy. His behaviour early on this D1 certainly felt like that. I couldn't really think of a scenario where he'd do that as scum willingly (it'd either be pointless or too unnecessarily complex)

I wasn't around for Liar Game. I was around for scum Foolishness in Parallel Worlds. There I see more real posts, much less trolly stuff, from Scum Foolishness, before pressure really on him and after. People are also drawing on Parallel Worlds for the "Big Post" thing, because Foolishness made a big "direct-the-thread" post there once under pressure, similar to his post here, and what I believe he did in AFK Champions Mafia on that other site. I don't know that Liar Game is a great game to pull a meta from, given how HEAVILY themed it was and the way that voting worked that game. I know you remember it better than I. Parallel Worlds also pretty heavily themed, but the lynch mechanics were, I would argue, more normal than in Liar Game.
You would say that a heavily themed game would make a Scum Foolishness be MORE aggressive/confident than in an All-Vanilla game, or the opposite austin?
I don't really see a contradiction with a Scum Foo feeling more "intimidated", or (maybe a better term) "not knowing what to do" (thus not really posting much "real posts" with "less trolly stuff") in an All-Vanilla game where there is no setup discussion, no wacky mechanics, no PMs, to hide in, than in a Heavily Themed game where there is.

Anyways, okay, I'm talking too much. Get to it people

Also please respond to the other stuff, like the "scum will talk about Foolishness!" stuff, or the "His early posts are fine! When he was scum in this specific game he didn't do that, therefore his posts this game are pro-town!" argument you are implying, or the other stuff I mentioned.

Anyways, Foo, I'll assume your vote is not real since you haven't addressed any of Prome's new posts. I'll assume you just parked it there and now will calmly read the thread and Prome's filter and address his new posts and suspicions and either incorporate them to your case or change your mind about Prome Right?

When I first accused him early in the day I thought the opposite of this (also explained in my earlier posts). Now he's here, he's posting, and he's trying for the town. And that's the direction I started to lean towards when I made my big post. My vote on WoS was to affirm this suspicion, and also to get other people to comment on it.
Sorry that doesn't make much sense to me. I'd think after "getting obvious scum" Holy (based on your post) you wouldn't really care about "pressuring" WoS with that vote, and would care more about, you know, voting scum.

Foolishness, who of these 2 is mafia? sandroba marvellosity

You are creating the arguments yourself, by saying stuff like "To explain Austin...You're here and posting, should be obvious that you are town"

Really Foo? You really believe that stuff you mention about austin? "He's town just because he's posting"
From what I know about Austin (which isn't that much) he likes to make good, long posts with lots of analysis, similar to a Foolishness or Kitaman Can you please show me those analysis of his from this game?

Maybe it's the bias, but sorry Foo your posts make no attempt whatsoever at convincing me you are town. The way you think austin is like confirmed town...when he STILL doesn't have a SINGLE suspicion nor candidate to lynch, and the fact you say he's making "posts full of analysis, similar to Foolishness". If you mean the Foolishness from THIS game then sure, if you mean the famous Town Foolishness we all remember, then surely you are trolling, right?
You still think Prome is scum while adding nothing new at all, even when your previous case wasn't that great and Prome posted lots of new stuff and made that "stream of consciousness" stuff.
You seem to have lots of town reads you are somehow so confident on with either no (VE) or bad (austin) reasoning, yet you still call them like 100% town. I can't know how you can arrive at those conclusions at all with what's been going on in the thread (i.e you seem to have more info than us, i.e you are scum). You know what they say, if someone is spouting lots of town reads, watch out.

Definitely not marv right now. Sandro neither, unless it's only for policy. He's getting modkilled or replaced as well apparently.
If you can't be here by the deadline, well, it kind of sucks we have 1 less "reasonable" vote around. Vote for whoever you want lynched, and if you don't really know that, vote for whoever you want to have just 1 more vote, so we use that info to determine the correct lynch today.
