Don't post just for the sake of posting though, that'll make you look like scum because posting for the sake of posting is what scum do. This is a rather useless post. Newbie towns want to scumhunt.

You say you hope to have moved past the lurker discussion, and yet you are telling people to post a lot? In my eyes you are telling people not to lurk because that will make them seem scummy. It seems to me that you are indirectly stating your views on lurkers despite openly saying you don't want to talk about them. First paragraph, I agree newbie town wants to scum hunt. Problem is many don’t know how to scum hunt and end up low volume posters because they’re anxious to say something stupid. Pretty much what Stutters summed up, I’m saying that it’s better they engage in discussions, ask questions and try build cases they like. They will probably end up making a few stupid cases, but it’s our responsibility to see that their motivations weren’t scummy. If they remain low volume posters, it’s much more difficult to see what their motivations are. Second paragraph, I’m saying this is a game of information and we need players to post. Scum don’t want to post, if they could decide then no one would post anything and they win almost 100% of the time. Town posts in order to be able to solve the game and in the process we force scum to post as well. I’m not saying lurkers are necessarily scummy, just look at XXVII. Lurkers aren’t necessarily scummy, but they’re 100% anti-town. That’s why, if all else fail, we lynch the most scummy lurker. I’m a bit surprised I had to explain that post to someone who seem to have some experience. I could see attacking my post as an early game town strategy to get things started, 1)but even after there were more interesting things going on it was still your main talking point. I do somewhat sympathize with your point that people should be forced to defend themselves, 2)but I don’t see why a townie would push a weak case against someone who’s not even around to defend himself.I’m still in the process of reading up on the thread. Will be able to post more of my thoughts later tonight. 1) Wrong. Like you said, finish up reading the thread. 2) I'm not pushing a case, for the last fucking time. Here are some guiding thoughts that I judge noteworthy, as you are reading off the thread: 1) Two people have defended you from my overly-aggressive post: Alsn, and debears. I find Alsn's reaction much more natural-looking than debears, please look at his filter and see if you agree. 2) wagon against kush. Kush's play definitely has some scummy-looking elements that people are currently wagoning over. Personally the main thing that gets to me is what I've answered DP's post with. See if you agree with these.
1) You made those posts after Kush's scum slip was brought up. Long after even.

You can be convinced he's scum, but you're making a huge deal out of it early in the game. multiple red texts with the word scum. Got your point.
I'm not defending him as much as I'm trying to tell you that you are going overboard right now. You don't have to rush in annointing him scum.
@z-boson
If you haven't realized yet, I played with SDM last game. I know where he stands with lurker policy. If you haven't noticed, darth doesn't like them either. Why? Cuz they usually go nowhere fast.
Why are you so focused on lurker discussion when there are other things going on?
Nice FOS btw. I make a case on you and you fail to respond to half of it. I don't care who you've played with. You make it a point to say your view on lurkers. You defend him for absolutely no reason, when his views implicitly contradict yours. If you were townie, I wouldn't think this to be a priority for you. I am not focused on lurker discussion, I am focused on the inconsistency you've presented. The issue of "Lurker policy" is not what is at hand. The issue at hand is why you are bothering to defend him (and now kush) instead of letting them defend themselves. It feels extremely forced right now, as townies are supposedly scouring the thread for blood. That's why the FOS. Regarding your "case", it seems to me like the only think you've got going is my general usefulness. And I already said it in form of a question, but now I'll answer it more bluntly so you can't dismiss it: I am instigating discussion. Read all my posts and see if that's what I'm trying to accomplish.
From my perspective it's weird you're still focusing entirely on debears at that point.
2) I'm not saying you're pushing a case against me, but you're pushing a case against debears. To me it seems this case is based on him defending me. Do you really find it all that weird that he explains that my post isn't scummy? I'd be interested in hearing if you've got more to your case.
To clarify, I was pushing a similar case against Debears in XXVII on the first day. He was going out of his way defending thrawn. The difference here is that he's not so much defending me as he is attacking you.

I'm just going to address the "fight" between Darth and Kush. I'm going to focus on Darth for now. Looking more closely into Kush's contribution is something I think should be done well ahead of lynch time.
I'm actually going to start by telling about some thoughts I had after reading my role PM. I was trying to figure out what players town should be focusing on. I had obsed NMMXXVII, and came to the conclusion that it might be reasonable to go after any player except Kush. I figured that Kush was going to make a lot of posts anyway, so I was thinking that we could get a good analysis of him without any early pressure.
One of the first things Darth did was to antagonize Kush:

I'm thinking that this could easily be an attempt to start a fight that would result in derailing the thread. Kush responded the way I expected him to, and these two posters exchanged arguments back and forth.
In the middle of this, Darth made a remark against lurkers, but quickly changed his focus back on Kush.

So is everyone just going to drop their welcome posts and then afk?
I don't see why he should make this comment at this time, since it wasn't going to get looked at while there was a fight going on.
Shortly afterwards, Kush makes his supposed scum slip. Darth jumps on it, and shortly afterwards he posts about his previous mafia games. I've watched the game where he played cop, and seen that he and Shady argued a lot on D1. So I was thinking that this seems to be Darth's town meta. But I also asked myself why he did post about his previous games at this point in time. Maybe this was all intentional. Suppose he suddenly remembered that game. He might not have wanted people to look at those games earlier, but now he realized that if he posted them he would be able to establish a town read on himself.
I'm not sure if this is a strong case against Darth at the moment. I would like some input from the more experienced players here. If Kush hadn't made that slip, I think the derailing argument would have looked strong. Now it doesn't look so strong, because we've actually gotten new information. I'm not saying that I'm sure the scum slip is an actual slip, but if it is and it results in a succesful lynch, I think town got very lucky. Scum usually wouldn't slip in such an obvious manner.
His cases against Debears and Alsn are something that might reveal useful information, but I've not studied them closely yet. I still think that Kush seems more suspicious when everything is taken into consideration but with all the focus that has been on him, I'm sure someone else can post a decent case on him before we need to consider our first lynch.

hi stutters.
I'm not really sure what aspects of darth's post you would like me to address. Clarify and I shall address them.
Yeah it appears that I do make posts that do not benefit the scumhunt early game. However it does get people talking to maybe it benefits us more than you think? Optimal play probably not. It's just me having fun basically. My play gets better as time goes on, or at least I like to think it does.
Why aren't I afraid of nk?
Because scum nks the least suspicious person, most helpful person they can get away with.
If scum nks me tonight that would be quite a stupid nk.
People.ask.me.why I'm.afraid of nk... people ask me why I'm not afraid of.nk. I love bringing nk up lol.
Again this is a response to a direct question. Personally I think mostly the time for fucking around has past. I will not discuss my desire for survival unless someone asks me about it.
People.have a provlem with my jokes? It's extremely obvious to me which posts of mine should and should not be taken seriously.
Why did I bait his fos? His threat pissed me off. If a guy threatens you, you have.to challenge him or you become his bitch.
To clarify my case against darth. He isn't flaming but he trying to make people mad. You can tell.in every post where he foses.someone just by the tone of his prose. Savvy? that was.the example I used, but there are.plenty. more. Who even uses that word except in old.westerns when a figure of authority is talking down to a subordinate.

SDM, don't change things here.
In 1) you said that my focus was entirely on you. Now you've changed it to debears.
2) Same thing, don't play the fool. We both can tell you meant yourself in your post which I've bolded earlier.
Now I know that you are willing to make up arguments to not admit how bad your posts were. That tells me you are either highly arrogant, or a defensive scum.
I will expand my case on debears in a sec. I still think he is scum.

Making a Kush case at this point is kind of like trying to kick in an open door. Like Alsn I was thinking even before the game started how to handle Kush. People say he has a scummy meta and I guess that's true to an extent, but there are certainly some significant differences. Some of those things were pointed out by Hapa in the XXVII aftermath, advice Kush seemed to just shrug off (eh, he kind of went OMGUS on Hapa). Hapa points out the difference in how Kush defends himself when he's town, here's his defense against drazak's case in XXVI (as town):

Why town should all vote for cuba
Worst case scenario:he flips green
No big deal, we lynched the worst townie (barring WeeTee whose behavior fits his meta like a glove, and kville who is being replaced). From his posts it's clear he has no intention of contributing more than he is already, which is nothing. Plus that would give thrawn some serious town points in my book, since he refuses to vote for him. Thrawn is good for town atmosphere and very active. It would be quite useful to our scumhunt if we could trust thrawn.
Best case scenario: he is mafia
If Cuba is mafia, I think there is a very high chance that thrawn is also mafia. In which case we will know 2 mafia first day and basically win the game.
People who are specifically against lynching cuba: cuba, thrawn.
People who have voted for or accused drazak: cuba, thrawn.
Twice now thrawn has attempted to redirect the lynch vote away from cuba onto somebody else.
Thrawn says he won't vote for cuba because unlike stutters, cuba has participated in the scumhunt. By scumhunt you mean his failed attempt to bandwagon drazak with you?
We need three more votes on cuba. I'm bringing this post, and Kushm4sta into suspiscion. It seemed like you didn't actually think Cubu was mafia. Your reasoning (and lack there of) makes it clear that you weren't voting because you thought Cubu was mafia, but because you thought there was a slim chance of it and that then Thrawn would be a townie. T I think you might be mafia trying to lead town into bad lynches. Why would you vote people who you don't think are mafia if you're town? I think you're mafia, Kush. ##Vote Kushm4sta I pushed the cubu vote because 1)he was a bad poster/lurker and it worked as a policy lynch if nothing else 2)how he turned revealed a lot about thrawn, who i assumed medic or jb would save because he was the obvious choice in my mind I thought it was very fishy that thrawn tried to redirect twice, and so I got very excited with the prospect of identifying two mafia in the first day. Also at the time I thought, as did thrawn, that kville was going to be replaced. So that's why I called him the worst townie. Now it's clear that honor belongs to kville.

Although I did know that was a big chance of him not being scum. See, drazzy darling, when there are a ton of lurkers/terrible townies in the game like yourself, it makes it pretty fucking hard to win as town. And my last defense of myself is to invoke the holy name of the late thrawn, who, on the night of his untimely death, proclaimed me as his biggest town read. Read his defense of me because I'm sure it's better than anything I could do. REST IN PEACE THRAWN TT Not to OMGUS, but this actually makes drazak seem quite suspicious to me. Mostly because I am the most active poster now that thrawn is gone. Maybe I'm biased about the matter but what do other people think? I will look through his filter more tomorrow.
Kush tends to OMGUS whether scum or town, but the way in which he OMGUS differs. When scum he's confident and aggressive, when town he's more diplomatic and logical. In this game, the former certainly holds true.
Other than that, town Kush seems to focus scum hunting (check his early XXVI filter) while scum Kush is focusing on defending himself and posting tons of fluff (he even mentioned in the XXVII Mafia QT that his strategy was to post a shit ton). In this game his scum hunting is pretty much non-existent while he's been defending himself and posting fluff just like in XXVII.
The most significant piece of information in this game though is his scum slip and his explanation. The slip is significant. I have a really hard time believing that the mother of all OMGUSing would be calling his attacker townie. Unless, of course, he's in possession of extra information and it's a slip. His defense isn't very convincing.

Of course he's been using "people" and "person" a lot in past games, but this post from XXVII is a good example on how he views his attackers:

It's also worth pointing out that drazak attacking him made Kush suspicious of drazak (post quoted above), he did the complete opposite of making a town read on him.
At this point I need more time to make sense of all the back-and-forths between Debears, Boson, Alsn and Darth. For me, Kush's scum slip, weak explanation and inconsistencies makes him the #1 d1 lynching candidate right now. Him being a potential late game liability is gravy.

Let's start by hearing you address the posts from DarthPunk that I linked. You ignored them before and ignored them when I posted them.
Additionally, since you have done 0 scumhunting. Let's assume that DarthPunk isn't a choice, who would your best scum read be and why?

that post of when I say player and person is actually from when I was scum. that was.because.I put in extra effort to not make scum slips. this game I don't even give a fuck.
I.think people misunderstand.the nature of scumslips. I'm surprised that people who have been scum before don't realise this. Think of the scumslips you've made.They aren't obvious like that. I made plenty last game.
So you don't think I was aggressive my second game? Read the post where drazzak foses me. I.flame quite bad there.if I remember.correctly.
People.critisize me for not scumhunting. Well I identified my top scum read and his scummy behavior. My time is not infinite though and people keep asking me questions I have to answer. Would you prefer I ignore questions?

Which makes it much easier to nab them also. SO. Post a lot if you are town. You make scum uncomfortable and facilitate town reads on yourself and scum reads on scum. You also clutter the thread if you just post alot. Let me specify. Post quality as often as you can. That means reread the thread and build good cases. One liners don't do much good. Cases with multiple quotes and a few sentences of explanation per quote are good (most of the time). Also, USE YOUR COACHES TOWN. Thrawn pmed Hapa over 50 times last game and he had the best town performance. That isn't a coincidence. @Kush I don't like the way you are starting off this game kush. It's eerily similar as last game when you were mafia. You mention you're deathless streak, nk, and your scummy meta without anyone bringing it up. You should know that I most likely know you're trends better than anyone else in this game. The only difference between this game and last is that you have engaged in a flame war with Darth this game, which is unhelpful to our town.

If we get close to the lynch deadline, and there are no scummy candidates, feel free to post a good case on which lurker would be the best candidate.
First of all, his "I want town to win!!" post telling town to use their coaches. He then FoS's Kush, due to the fact that he's playing a similar game as the one he was scum. He says that DP + kush flame war is bad for the town, but doesn't attack Darthpunk, probably because he finds kush to be more scummy looking. Now, from a townie perspective, what does debear want? Information in order to lynch kush, as he pointed a FOS mostly based on a meta read. But suddenly, towards darthpunk:
snip --You could also say that you are too convinced in your reasons. What I am cautious of at this point is that you stated directly before the game that you were after kush if he plays like he has in his past 3 games. I feel like that may be clouding your judgement in this situation.
Our main goal is to lynch mafia. Yes, kush has said some scummy things. However, I'm not gonna go around parading this early saying "kush is scum. Kush is scum. OMFG".
Also, let the man defend himself instead of trying to rally everyone active behind your cause so early. If he is scummy, the votes will come.
He is defensive towards kush. That's not how townies think. While I agree that DP is a bit overboard on kush, I don't agree that he failed to give arguments as to why he thinks that is so. A townie with a FOS on someone will want to deal with the arguments first. He doesn't do that, and suddenly becomes defensive on Kush. He says, later:
I'm not defending him as much as I'm trying to tell you that you are going overboard right now. You don't have to rush in annointing him scum.
He is more bothered by DPs certainty than by his actual arguments. Inconsistency #1.
He then comes up with two cases. One against me, and one against Djoref:

What's your view on darthpunk? You said you don't like his coldness, but you don't like it in a "he's scum" sort of way? Yet again, nothing of substance here. You go more in depth about semantics (is that the right word I'm looking for?) about lynching lurkers and lynching lurkers at day two. Second, you call out stutters, who has already been warned by others and most likely the mods for no reason this early in the game. Finally, two sentences, two questions going on about the exact wording of kush's statements. It sounded like before the game you had stated that you have played in multiple games. Is that true? For someone who is telling other people to not post useless posts, you aren't doing a good job of it yourself. Looks more like you are trying to just be active while off the radar. In other words, you are a semi-active lurker who has bad post quality. Sounds like characteristics of a certain alignment. On September 28 2012 08:51 Djodref wrote:

It is a way to gather everybody around 2-3 suspicious players and secure a lynch. I'm assuming everyone agree on a no-lynch to be stupid.
Djoref, I don't like that statement at all. That's the second post you bring up about the likelihood of lynching a townie d1. As town, you should never have that mentality. I would probably less likely to bring this up if you were a total nooby. However, you said you "know Kush's meta" which means you have some decent understanding of the game for a noob. By saying this, it seems that you are setting yourself an excuse to be indecisive later in the day when the lynch voting comes around. Alone, it isn't much. However, your other posts don't help.

After playing mafia last game, I feel like heavy lurking is a bad play for mafia. It puts too much pressure on you are as a scum. Instead, posting lightly without much substance is more mafia indicative. Yet again, I feel you are just looking like you are contributing without saying much.

I would also like to hear you explanations about this specific part. I don't have a read on Darth on the moment considering he has only been hard tunneling you. As you said yourself you have a scummy meta so you are an easy target for early game to put pressure on. So what makes him so much town ? Yet again, this post is just repeating what darth is saying. Another question. I don't like this. Your early posts are indicative of a semi-active scum. Sheeping, question posts, and rehashing things already said multiple times.
Notice the similarity between the two. He attacks us for asking questions (later on denies that they provide any discussion whatsoever), and falls into the same "semi-active lurker" category he's sniffing about. I will ignore the quality of his arguments, which I personally think are horrible, and will look more towards their similarity.
From his case against me:
A one-liner. A question that really doesn't accomplish anything. In other words, a useless post. Also, your next post doesn't address his response although he responded right after and you posted within 30 minutes of his response in a pretty light thread.
For someone who is telling other people to not post useless posts, you aren't doing a good job of it yourself. Looks more like you are trying to just be active while off the radar. In other words, you are a semi-active lurker who has bad post quality. Sounds like characteristics of a certain alignment.
From his case against Djoref:
A two sentence, two question post. I don't like these. They are worthless. Also, this question came quite a bit later after darthpunk already was asking questions about joking. You seem to be sheeping onto darth's case against kush.

See the similarity, especially the bolded part? It seems that he has this "semi-active scum" cake recipe that he is using to sniff out scum. He also calls us out on our posting quality, in my case saying it is bad.
I won't address his next post towards me because I've already done so, and because it doesn't increase his scumminess , as "bad cases =/= scum" (although it pisses me off).
Anyways, now to the main stuff. He has a case against me and Djoref, for pretty much the same reasoning. Yet, check out what his next post on Djoref is:

I'm not against a kush lynch atm, but from what I gather kush's case is mostly meta-based with a side dish of not-scumhunting and also general scummy-looking posts. I think my evidence against debear is much more damning. Please read carefully his posts and my case and see if you don't agree.

In 1) you said that my focus was entirely on you. Now you've changed it to debears.
2) Same thing, don't play the fool. We both can tell you meant yourself in your post which I've bolded earlier.
Now I know that you are willing to make up arguments to not admit how bad your posts were. That tells me you are either highly arrogant, or a defensive scum.
I will expand my case on debears in a sec. I still think he is scum.
I'm not sure if you're trying to create a misunderstanding on purpose. It's clear to anyone who's read your filter that you're mainly focusing on Debears, but in order to really find debears suspicious on the basis on him explaining why my post wasn't scummy, you need to think the suspicion you directed towards me actually had some merit. And as far as I can tell that's what you've kept saying, for example:
On September 29 2012 03:46 Z-BosoN wrote:
debears, my case against you is not OMGUS. That's a dumb thing to say, granted I've explained to you why I find you scummy.
I didn't call stutters out for lurking. I talked to him because I've played with him before, and conveyed my will that he should post more than he did in XXIV, because he makes decent posts, or at least made them in XXIV, as a townie. It's more of an "acknowledgement" towards someone I've already played with.
I didn't call him out for being afk. I attacked SDM because of HOW he said he would be afk, as if he was blatantly avoiding posting because of his hate on lurker policy talking. AS IF. Which is why I've questioned him.
I'm also being very clear here. I'm not pushing a case against SDM. I'm pushing a case against you, again, because I didn't find your reaction towards SDM natural at all.
Answering SDM shortly.
Here you're rationalizing how me being afk was more suspect than Stutters being afk and how defending my suspect reasoning is scummy by Debears. If that's what your case is based on it's basically based on nothing as far as I'm concerned.
Just to make it clear, that doesn't mean I have a town read on Debear. Answering questions intended for others is generally anti-town, but he's also been doing some pro-town scum hunting. As for your motivations, I'm not sure. I could see them being both townie and scummy but I don't want to expand on that until I've given foursome interaction between you, Debears, Alsn and DP more thought.

stutters if you want me to address something you have to ask me a question. that's my new policy.

So you don't think I was aggressive my second game? Read the post where drazzak foses me. I.flame quite bad there.if I remember.correctly.
People.critisize me for not scumhunting. Well I identified my top scum read and his scummy behavior. My time is not infinite though and people keep asking me questions I have to answer. Would you prefer I ignore questions?
This is bullshit. You have the second longest filter in the game. You haven't answered any of the questions either DP or I have asked, you've skirted around them. And you could have taken the time to answer them when you were arguing with DP instead of just going back and forth without spending any more time in the thread.
That part in red. What the fuck? You don't "give a fuck" this game? Why is that? Seems to me if you were town there wouldn't be a scumslip, regardless of your attitude.

Sorry for swearing a couple of times in that too. Anyway I'm going to go play racquetball for a while. Kush there are questions in each of my posts if you took the time to read them (a couple may be implicit, but fairly obvious all the same).

It just tells scum: Post. and your safe. I have read every post so far as scummy and I don't see SDM's post as more or less scummy than the others. But posting a lot will let people get a good read on you so you should 100% be doing this as town. And then if all the townies are posting you force scum to. Which makes it much easier to nab them also. SO. Post a lot if you are town. You make scum uncomfortable and facilitate town reads on yourself and scum reads on scum. You also clutter the thread if you just post alot. Let me specify. Post quality as often as you can. That means reread the thread and build good cases. One liners don't do much good. Cases with multiple quotes and a few sentences of explanation per quote are good (most of the time). Also, USE YOUR COACHES TOWN. Thrawn pmed Hapa over 50 times last game and he had the best town performance. That isn't a coincidence. @Kush I don't like the way you are starting off this game kush. It's eerily similar as last game when you were mafia. You mention you're deathless streak, nk, and your scummy meta without anyone bringing it up. You should know that I most likely know you're trends better than anyone else in this game. The only difference between this game and last is that you have engaged in a flame war with Darth this game, which is unhelpful to our town. FOS Kush@everyone One more thing: Feel free to accuse and build cases on anyone you want for the first 24 hours. However, let's start tunneling for the second 24 hours. Also, I would like everyone to start considering a lurker (in your head) once we hit the second 24 hours as a backup. If we get close to the lynch deadline, and there are no scummy candidates, feel free to post a good case on which lurker would be the best candidate. First of all, his "I want town to win!!" post telling town to use their coaches. He then FoS's Kush, due to the fact that he's playing a similar game as the one he was scum. He says that DP + kush flame war is bad for the town, but doesn't attack Darthpunk, probably because he finds kush to be more scummy looking. Now, from a townie perspective, what does debear want? Information in order to lynch kush, as he pointed a FOS mostly based on a meta read. But suddenly, towards darthpunk: Show nested quote +snip --You could also say that you are too convinced in your reasons. What I am cautious of at this point is that you stated directly before the game that you were after kush if he plays like he has in his past 3 games.

Our main goal is to lynch mafia. Yes, kush has said some scummy things. However, I'm not gonna go around parading this early saying "kush is scum. Kush is scum. OMFG".
Also, let the man defend himself instead of trying to rally everyone active behind your cause so early. If he is scummy, the votes will come. He is defensive towards kush. That's not how townies think. While I agree that DP is a bit overboard on kush, I don't agree that he failed to give arguments as to why he thinks that is so. A townie with a FOS on someone will want to deal with the arguments first. He doesn't do that, and suddenly becomes defensive on Kush. He says, later: Show nested quote +I'm not defending him as much as I'm trying to tell you that you are going overboard right now. You don't have to rush in annointing him scum.

getting everyone's thoughts on lurker policy is important. Don't argue about it but share your views on the matter please.. No it's not.

Saying we will lynch lurkers is one thing. Deciding whether a lurker should die later at day two is another.

I'd like to see more posts from you. In XXIV you showed you were capable of making decent posts as town, so I encourage you to post eve more here.

What's your view on darthpunk? You said you don't like his coldness, but you don't like it in a "he's scum" sort of way? Yet again, nothing of substance here. You go more in depth about semantics (is that the right word I'm looking for?) about lynching lurkers and lynching lurkers at day two. Second, you call out stutters, who has already been warned by others and most likely the mods for no reason this early in the game. Finally, two sentences, two questions going on about the exact wording of kush's statements. It sounded like before the game you had stated that you have played in multiple games. Is that true?

It is a way to gather everybody around 2-3 suspicious players and secure a lynch. I'm assuming everyone agree on a no-lynch to be stupid.
Djoref, I don't like that statement at all. That's the second post you bring up about the likelihood of lynching a townie d1. As town, you should never have that mentality. I would probably less likely to bring this up if you were a total nooby. However, you said you "know Kush's meta" which means you have some decent understanding of the game for a noob.

It is simply a mechanism to get the discussion going and allows scum to seem to participate and to potentially mislynch an inactive townie. Any more talk of policy will get you FoS'd. I'm thinking that this could easily be an attempt to start a fight that would result in derailing the thread. Kush responded the way I expected him to, and these two posters exchanged arguments back and forth. 2)In the middle of this, Darth made a remark against lurkers, but quickly changed his focus back on Kush.

So is everyone just going to drop their welcome posts and then afk?
I don't see why he should make this comment at this time, since it wasn't going to get looked at while there was a fight going on.3)Shortly afterwards, Kush makes his supposed scum slip. Darth jumps on it, and shortly afterwards he posts about his previous mafia games. I've watched the game where he played cop, and seen that he and Shady argued a lot on D1. So I was thinking that this seems to be Darth's town meta. But I also asked myself why he did post about his previous games at this point in time. Maybe this was all intentional. Suppose he suddenly remembered that game. He might not have wanted people to look at those games earlier, but now he realized that if he posted them he would be able to establish a town read on himself. I'm not sure if this is a strong case against Darth at the moment. I would like some input from the more experienced players here. If Kush hadn't made that slip, I think the derailing argument would have looked strong. Now it doesn't look so strong, because we've actually gotten new information. I'm not saying that I'm sure the scum slip is an actual slip, but if it is and it results in a succesful lynch, I think town got very lucky. Scum usually wouldn't slip in such an obvious manner. 4)His cases against Debears and Alsn are something that might reveal useful information, but I've not studied them closely yet. I still think that Kush seems more suspicious when everything is taken into consideration but with all the focus that has been on him, I'm sure someone else can post a decent case on him before we need to consider our first lynch.
1) Huh?? So you are saying that we shouldn't lynch him because if he's actually scum, we will easily find out later? This is the lamest reason to not lynch someone. If someone looks scummier than the rest, lynch them, don't save them for later. If this was not what you meant, please explain.
2) That's meaningless. His post came right after someone said HI!!!! and left, for the second or third time in the thread. This is more of a nudge towards them, and I'm sure it was read amongst the fighting.
3) You are just rambling here, I think. I take the DP/kush exchange as being genuine, unless they are both scum and agreed to flaming each other. I don't think thta's likely, due to kush's fiery meta.
4) I don't get the reasoning behind this post. You are trying to make a case on DP, and concluded that you don't feel like it and actually think that kush is a better lynch? Also, stutters has made a case on him. Why not reference that?
Who are you more inclined to vote on and why? I can't tell by the wishy-washy tone of your post.
