Ok, going back to recover some ground from yesterday.
I really don't like sappo's vote on Zhero yesterday, but I really can't tell if she's being genuine with her "I didn't know this game had mechanics" schtick. I mean, really? You forgot you were playing an open game or you forgot the specific mechanics of this game?
I also don't like implosion all that much. There is just something about him that seems so much in the background and I can't put my finger on it exactly. I had niggling worries about him yesterday, but then he said something townish that I don't recall and I decided I was just overreacting. Then he had his non comment at the end of the day and it kind of just read like a post for postings sake when the lynch was going to go through anyhow. Idk. I just needed to say something about it. Maybe later I can actually find out if its worth following or not.
I don't care for lew calling out chesskid at the start of the day. That seems pretty dumb and possibly an easy attack on low hanging fruit. I don't see the point of it (which implosion says! There he goes acting town again).
lew wrote:Also: I would like to assume that we all know no1 must claim. I tend to assume mafia-players are rational human beings (even though the behaviour of the role cop on day 1 kinda shakes my assumption). What I was writing about chess simply depends on the fact that I have seen scum players who pretended to have been V/LA all night... anyway, I was only half serious, so let us stop discussing this.
Why should we stop talking about you baiting chess around his role? He already claimed, so the damage is done. It might be worthwhile for you to explain in more detail why you did it. Was it on MS that you saw a scum pretend to have not been around during the night phase?
lew wrote:I want rather everyone to tell me what they think of Thad, since he is the only new-entry who actually posted some real content so far.
I'm wary of our sea faring friend actually. His posts read townish enough, but he's also experienced enough to fake it when it counts. I'm not inclined to push for his lynch atm, but I also won't be blindly following him.
implosion wrote:I'm also suspicious of Purple Orange for a very passive response to the werewolf wagon. I'm not entirely sure if it's passive support or passive dislike, but I think it's the former. In post 214, Purple both dismisses what he sees as reasoning for most of the werewolf wagon, and says that he still thinks werewolf is scum. It looks to me like he didn't want to be on the wagon, yet he wanted to make it look like he thought werewolf was scum. Or, he wanted no connection or even a strong disconnection to the wagon, but still had to uphold his previous position that werewolf was scum.
This is a note for myself to look back at this when I have some time.
-edit-
I like PurpleOrange's reply actually.

So you don't see anything scummy about mallow this game?
PurpleOrange wrote:Don Jon is the person that, aside from sapo, I believe had the most questionable activity when it came to the Zhero wagon. But a) this is largely influenced by the fact that I suspect mallow to be scum. And b) because of Zhero's scummy vote, any vote on Zhero CAN be seen as completely justified.
I actually dig this alot. Keeping my eye on a dj-mallow connection.
dj wrote:i suggest a voting block of dj, thad, lew, and gonzo.
Count me out for now. I don't have strong enough town reads at the moment to be pro voting bloc.
This smashbro wagon isn't really tickling my fancy.
ThAd wrote:That may be true but mainly suspecting only one person for a large portion of the game is a good scum tactic as it allows you to lay lower and make less enemies.
This seems like you're ignoring everything smash said just so you can call him scummy. I don't get why you think he should vote don over mallow if he finds mallow more suspicious. Explain for me cause I'm slow and such.
dj wrote:smash, on the other hand, has been calling players scummy but putting his votes elsewhere.
And this immediate follow up from dj is poo too. In the same post you say he's tunneling on mallow, then you say he's not voting who he finds scummy. I don't get it. Then you pepper it with "he's not posting goodz". Meh, sounds like a lot of hot air to me. I'm not saying I have anything close to a town read on smash, but this is really the best you can find to wagon him over?
And don't get me started on this:
dj wrote:more votes on smash. put him to L-1. get a claim. move on. it shall be done(come on voting block).
implosion wrote:First paragraph: Purple essentially condemns the wolf wagon, saying that the majority of reasoning on it is flawed.
Disagree. She is saying she understands what he said, not that the "majority of reasoning" on the wagon is flawed.
Vote: saporovirus
for now. I need to do some more thinking.
implosion, I would like you to reply to Purple Orange's response to your case and then tell me if you still find her scummy.
Personally, PurpleOrange is like the only person I fully trust at the moment. Yo yo, PO, who do you want to lynch today?
