At least I voted for scum.

Sorry I missed the deadline to vote, but neither N_T or blubb looked scummier than Eiii to me, so I wouldn't have known which of the two to vote for even if I was here.

Especially with that last second switch that makes no sense...



It accomplished preventing a potential last-minute switch onto another candidate. Blubb had a decent case against him and I generally consider that kind of behavior after getting a lot of votes to be something scum are more likely to do than town.

It ended up not working out for the best, of course, but I'm not psychic so

layabout, and why he's getting my Finger of Suspicion.

#1
I'll begin with a link to his case against blubby: here
In that post, layabout makes no mention whatsoever of DYH's case against blubb. Not even a little comment, even though he made it 4 hours after DYH. I think that it's pretty obvious DYH's case on blubb influenced layabout to make his own. So I looked into it more.

What struck me as really odd, was the fact that he had no FoS, no read, nothing at all on blubb prior to DYH's case.
In fact, layabout's only mention of blubb is when SA asks him what he thinks about blubb, seen here: + Show Spoiler +

In which he makes no opinion and takes no stance whatsoever.


#2
And here are two little points that need to be noted:
+ Show Spoiler [P1] +

+ Show Spoiler [P2] +


#3
Just about more than half of layabout's posts consist only defending himself. His only other notable thing is when he puts attention and calls out jdub: + Show Spoiler +

But even then, he makes no stance. He doesn't pressure jdub, doesn't make some sort fos, does nothing except call him out for lurking.
I would say that that is his only other contributing post. Read through his filter and it becomes apparent that he puts more effort into defending himself than hunting scum.


#4
The next thing I want to bring up is how quickly he comes to defend Kenpachi.
+ Show Spoiler +


#5
+ Show Spoiler +

Hmm. The victims of our mislynches both suggest to lynch layabout. And so far we're ignoring them.


Why I believe layabout to be scum boils down to;

1) Has nothing on blubb, but as soon as DYH pushes a case and lynch on him, layabout makes a weak case and pushes it forward as if he had been suspecting him for a while.

2) layabout does not create his own scumreads, does not establish his own opinions, and does not make his own stance. He has other people do the work for him, and then he starts pushing reads. Basically, he's not scum hunting.

3) All of layabout's "good, quality posts" are the only ones where he is defending himself, not doing any actual scumhunting.

4) People previously thought his analysis on Kat was an attempt at soft-defending. But after individually separating his posts, we can all clearly see how hard he is defending Kenpachi. KP's play is awfully similar to BM's.

5) I'm restating this one because I feel it's one of the stronger points against layabout:
He does not actively hunt scum. All he does is push other people's reads.



I retract my FoS on him. I'm confident that layabout is scum and I want him lynched tomorrow.

ebwop: reason why I posted my case now instead of waiting until D3 is that I usually don't get back from my classes until a few minutes after deadline.

Also, if I die tonight I want everyone to lynch him.

Okay.. So I was wrong about Blubb =/

I'm going to reassess my opinion about layabout later. I just feel that so many players are not even trying to appear to act in town best interest which makes it hard to weed out the bad townies from the scum ones. (Eiii, l10f, Ghost, Grush, Kenpachi come to mind.)

Someone I'm pretty suspicious of at the moment: johnnywup. It's getting stupid now, his inactivity. First excuse for not posting much: LIII

This was Friday evening for jdub. Quite a long time ago. So, the content came a-flowing, right? Of course not. So let's have another excuse shall we, 2 days later after his last promise to be active:

I'll be completely honest, I've been addicted to that 999 game so I haven't been posting much.


So this is a different reason. Just in case we missed it, of course:

Like I said, I've been super addicted to this 999 game and I'll be putting a LOT more time into this game. I've been alt tabbing and reading what's going on, to keep up (I guess you can call that lurking but I've just been wanting to get all 6 endings to this game asap, but i'll town it down and be more active in thread now that I see it's an issue). If you don't believe me, fine. I don't care. It's the truth. And so, I'll be posting more now, since people are thinking I'm scummy and lurky :u


Holy shit. An entire paragraph... to explain why he's being useless. Repeated apologies, promises to do better without following through - classic scumtells.

Yeah, I'm watching. I guess you could say I'm not playing, or lurking, or whatever. But what I said is the truth. I'm a townie and I've just been super into a game. Anyways I'll make it up to you guys by playing much more from now on.


And again.

But wait, you might say, I saw him say something about blubb at some point once! Well, just to introduce jdub's point on blubb -

Bold is mine. Below I quote the only attempt at analysis from jdub for an age.

PALMAR IS SCUM SO I'M VOTING GRUSH.

If we assume blubb is scum here, his actions don't really have a scum agenda. But they don't really have a town agenda either. I don't get it. I don't know if that's scummy or townie or not alignment telling at all but it's just weird. ESPECIALLY since palmar flipped town. Palmar flipping town means that if blubb is scum, grush is almost definitely town. But even that doesn't make much sense because blubb made a semi-case on palmar. I don't see an agenda from town or scum here, it's just "I think one person is scum so I'm gonna vote for some other guy that I also think is scum but didn't make a case on". It's just ... weird


This is all the analysis. Let's have a look at what he's saying.

1) if blubb is scum, his actions aren't scummy. if he's town, his actions aren't townie. Not saying anything other than it's odd
2) Pointless pontification on Palmar - blubb - grush alignment connections?
3) still doesn't look townie OR scummy
4) Conclusion: stuff is 'weird'

Biggest pile of wishywashy paragraph I can imagine. No firm stances, no nothing at all, really. If that's substantial then I'll... well, I'll leave it for BH.

I agree with DYH and I'll be voting blubb. I had some of the same thoughts but he put it into words.


Finally things are rounded off with his sheepy vote on blubb, possibly (but not certainly?) backed up by his non-accusation quoted above.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Nova_Terra has not done anything to dissuade me from the belief he's scum, so he is still at the moment my top-read. But johnnywup is not far behind, for his incessant apologies, promises to post more, failure to deliver as such, and awful pretense at analysis/scumhunting.

Hmmm, to me Jdub falls into the SA's list of players who: 'are not even trying to appear to act in town best interest which makes it hard to weed out the bad townies from the scum ones'. I need to have a look at NT again, I thought that blubb's case was stronger but perhaps I was wrong.

Still don't like Kenpachi btw...

But the point is jdub is perfectly capable of playing very pro-town, but in this game he seemingly refuses to. 'bad town' simply isn't a valid excuse for him.

I think the point he is trying to make is you've put no commitment into any stance, basically just throwing words around at people and sheeping after the fact. The only real thing you've committed to is your defense posts. Otherwise, you just say things about people and drop the pressure or don't come to any solid conclusions about the person. It almost seems like you seem scared about calling people scum or their actions scummy, until you realize they are about to be lynched.

I'm finding myself in a similar boat to SA. With blubb gone I see so many people with good potential for being scum. Johnny, layabout, nova, KP. I haven't even looked hard into Eiii or I10f. And ghost fits in there somewhere as well.

I feel pretty comfortable picking our next lynch from the group of Johnny, layabout, nova, and KP. I'm going to need to do some serious reviewing before I know which I want to lynch over the others though. I know that a number of you have already picked your pony for d3 (probably because I usurped you with the blubb train) but I would really appreciate it if we could present complete cases for d3 to work from. Even if that means you are repeating points from earlier in the game. The recent posts on Johnny and layabout are a nice step in this direction.
Guts? Determination? $5?

Personally, I think I'm a bad lynch. But that's probably because I'm the one dying. marv's post on me is true, I'm usually more active than this. That's for a number of reasons I don't think are really relevant to the game. laya had a "sudo-FoS" on me, but I agree the non-commital-ness isn't settling. It could be looking for a weak townie (which I will admit I am this game) to lynch. But it could be me looking legitimately scummy. I can see both perspectives. But since a wagon is somewhat forming I'd like to ask you what you gain if I flip scum or town. If I flip scum, you have a dead scum, but no info regarding the other scum-members. If I flip town, you get nothing. Best case scenario, you kill a scum. Worst case scenario, you kill a vanilla townie. Killing a VT at this stage in the game isn't too bad so if push comes to shove and you're lynching me, go ahead. Town won't lose that much. But the thing is, you lose a lynch to a townie and scum gets another 2 kills. If my death confirms other suspicions I'd lynch myself. But as of now it doesn't. Not to mention I have no scum motivations for anything I've done, which albeit is little.

I don't think you have any other reason to blame me as scum other than "unwillingness to post reads or post cases or be active". Which is all inherent in inactivity. I haven't been playing to my ability and I apologize.
Bleh this is just a train of thoughts :/

To the bold: what is this? Town should never lynch for further information, but rather that you're scum.

This whole post doesn't even constitute a defence.

It's not so much the general activity, it's more the broken promises. You posted that LIII finished and you'd be more active, you weren't. You claimed you would look at filters and come up with something substantial, you didn't.
