And now, we do Cecily. (This'll be the hardest defense to do. Pine, I can defend. Quite well. TOO well.
)

Cecily, like Nocmen,
enters the game pretty late.
Twisted votes Cecily for
not partaking in the RVS, but that seems like a misconception--we were past the RVS, but not yet in a full stage of playing. We were in the bridge between RVS and serious scumhunting, and I took Cecily's post to mean that there wasn't much point in partaking in that stage. Which I understand.

Oh, hey, two of my scumreads on Cecily! (...One was a random vote, but, hey, close enough!

Cecily wrote:@twisted, if we were still in rvs I'd vote rvs, but I feel like I got in too late to post a real rvs without people then calling me out for not actually contributing.
Relevant, because Cecily's right--
Look what happened to poor Ctorj.
Bub acts like that in every game.
Defense of Bub (unless you want to go into the opinion of a Bub-Cecily scumteam, which will glue my palm to my face) is a pro-town move.
Thor wrote:Cecily doesn't come out and call Bub town though, no, just justifies his actions.
It seemed implied heavily enough that this doesn't really hold valid.
You're scum because you've done absolutely nothing that is helpful to town and yet you are attacking people even though you're not scumhunting.
Several people were guilty of this at the time, really.
Thor, giving his paraphrase of Cecily wrote:: I do not have reads on people yet and am not performiong any actions to help me get those reads - I'm letting other people do all the work and acting like it makes me a...well, at least a "less annoying" player.
This seems more like lazy-town rather than scum.
Cecily wrote:I personally love rvs, but hate the stage (this stage) that comes right after it. From my experience it's a bunch of people putting words into peoples mouths and misreading and misunderstanding. I will not be sucked in by your attempt to get me to vote prematurely.
Cecily Reasserts that we were in a stage before true scumhunting, but after the rvs, that transition stage. And--come on--think about it: we all know it exists, that it's real. And just like with the RVS, I find nothing wrong with the different take towards it. (Yes, it's slightly different, and I'd prefer people contributing at that stage, but it's still a transition and people acting differently isn't scummy--just different.)

More Cecily suspicion, more reason for me to think Cecily is town.
Cecily's
202 is a strong vote, with very logical reasons compared to most Pine voters. Wrong (as I'll explain in my Pine case), but still solid in comparison.
Furcolow wrote:Cecily's defense of CJ in #151 is unwarranted and scummy
Not really. Cecily was entering the game at the time, and gave a read--while not needed (as people had pretty much universally concluded that already), it was pretty null. When catching up, I tend to post a lot of obsolete information.
Thor votes Cecily. (Second vote, I believe.)
Farside wrote:I have my scum reads based on certain post that rang false or panic.
Cecily -
Oh, look, another one of my suspects on Cecily! How convenient! Speaking of her,
I still need to gather notes for Cec after work
Farside:
I don't recall seeing these. Post them, please? (Or if you did, link me to your post as I clearly missed it.)
Furcolow wrote:Cecily: Another person I am reading as bad town, although I would be happy with a lynch here, as they are bad
Bad town, yes. Scum, no. You don't lynch bad town. They're town, who contribute an opinion, even if they don't do so as frequently as you would like. You lynch scum, not scummy town.
Nocmen wrote:Not liking Cecily's 194, seems like to warrant an excuse for lurking (which I know, pot kettle, etc), but I have to at least put it out there. The issue is , Cecily, that I'm not seeing too much content right now from you, and it seems like you are extremely unproductive. And many of the reasons you voted for Pine can be applied to a vote for you.
However, once more I'd like to remind you that just because someone isn't contributing as much as you like doesn't mean they're scum. In this case, Cecily wasn't justifying lurking--Cecily's activity has picked up, recently. The lack of content was due to what Cecily saw as a transition she had no need to partake in. And while not an opinion I agree with, it's not an opinion which makes her scum. (That's three votes for Cecily, by the way.)
Pine votes Cecily, and is the fourth to do so.
farside wrote:ctually I reread Cecily and he moved to null. He took the time to look into Pine.
Problems I have with Cecily is he hasn't said much about who he finds scummy except to point out the active lurker.
More on this in my farside case, but this, paraphrased, is "Cecily looks null, but looks suspicious for not having suspicions." Contradiction.
Cecily wrote:This seems to me more like an excuse for a lazy and haphazard read-through and post.
Funnily enough?
I was thinking Cecily was just lazy town. The fact that Cecily's first conclusion upon reading that post was lazy (but not scummy) play, this all-but confirms that Cecily was, indeed, lazy, and gives me a strong reason to believe Cecily was therefore town.
farside wrote:2 thumbs up. I felt like I was reading Randy from American Idol, but the storyline has a good flow.
Cecily: How is your only scum read on a player that is barely posting and you took the time to check into him posting elsewhere, but say nothing about anyone else?
Yup. Totally a neutral read, farside.
Furcolow also joins the Cecily wagon. (5)

, many people have Cecily as a suspect compared to very few having Cecily as a town read, with many more having Cecily somewhere in the middle.
However, I will not advocate for Cecily's death, either. There are better suspects out there than Cecily, there ARE some people with Cecily as a town-read, and Cecily gives off the feeling (call it instinct if you must) of being a Compromise-lynch, someone people are voting for not because Cecily's even close to their top suspect, but simply because they see support for a Cecily lynch.
And in my experience, most Compromise Lynches tend to be on town. :/
Updated to be accurate. Cecily's death might generate information, but it'll be a HECK of a lot harder for me to get it. Whereas with my three, it flows quite naturally.
More or less,
Me, still valid wrote:As I mentioned before, Cecily is not a TERRIBLE lynch...but there are FAR better options out there and I will be rather upset if Cecily's lynched as a compromise.
Me, still wrote:Admittedly? Cecily COULD be scum. But Cecily's lynch gives us

with a Cecily lynch, whereas I CAN figure it out with a lynch of any of the three I mention. Simply put, Cecily gives me no additional information
immediately
, whereas Farside, Zdenek, AND Gollum all do.
If they [Cecily/Bub] die, what do I gain? I gain nothing. I know nothing more than I did the day before. Oh, I'll know the alignment of them, and I'll know the alignment of any killed during the night phase, sure. But the interactions, the information gained, for both Cecily and Bub? Quite frankly sucks. It's horrible how little this lynch will profit us.
-Low chance of hitting scum.
-Low information gain, regardless of flip.
I see no significant informational gain. I see nothing which will scream if either of them are scum/town, that "PERSON X IS SCUM!" Or even, "THIS GUY'S TOWN!" I DO see that in Zdenek/Gollum/Farside.
Sensing a pattern? Still quite valid. Cecily is NOT a good lynch wagon. (Neither is Bub, for that matter.)
Okay. Three down, one to go!
(Then I start my scum cases. :/)
