I think we'll be signing our posts, but no promises. I haven't been paticularly successful (at remembering) in the past.

Haven't discussed with diddin, but I'm indifferent to mass name-claim. Don't see it helping but don't see it hurting.

Don't like the fencesitting, as she seems to be calling vezok a VI and not a VI in the same post, while not taking a real stance. Not to mention no commentary on anything else going on right now.

Vote: Jilynne1991


Don't like the Rodion wagon. He's defending himself well enough and seems to just be noobtown to me. Also don't like how Magna's pushing him so hard.

Just b/c he got some votes doesn't mean anyone was going to PL him.

Jilly is defending/buddying Vezok just a little bit too much for my tastes. I also don't like Marco's reaction with Vifam.

vote:Jilly




Now THIS seems like some honest sheeping, don't you think?


Vifam is voteable just for this. Standard scum deflection: "I'm not sheeping! Look at him, he's doing the real sheeping!" Hypocracy.

unvote, Vote: Vifam

Why did you include one null-read and then leave 2/3 of the player list (presumably null) off your list of reads?


Vifam wrote:Okay, after going over this thread a little more, I think the most likely to be scum are:


MoI
Jyl

Is this ordered?

Where did Nero appear from? He wasn't on your list of reads before, but you were clearly aware of his alleged sheeping as you mentioned it in a post 8 minutes after your post of reads.

Also you have dared to challenge the ultimate coolness of my character. You must die.


(My bold)- Why do you feel the need to label your vote as being on an RVS wagon? I think it is quite clear, considering this was the second vote of the game, that we were still in RVS. There is no reason why a townie would have to make it so clear that their vote is a RVS vote. This looks to me like you are trying to distance yourself from the wagon if it were to result in a lynch on vezok.

Pappums Leather Jacket (to MoI) wrote:
I have never, ever, ever seen a townie label their vote as being in RVS. Have you ever done this before? Have you even seen other townies do this before?


Please provide links to both. I have only ever seen this happen once, from lynched scum, but it's an ongoing game so I cant fully disclose it until the game is over.


Pappums, in #98 (or ISO #3) you say there "is no reason why a townie would have to make it so clear that their vote is a RVS vote".

In #179 (or ISO #7) you say that you have only seen it (the clear labelling of a RVS vote) "happen once, from lynched scum" (but [REDACTED] etc).

So you were willing to conclude based off one instance of scum labelling their vote as random that it was exclusively a scum-tell?

I don't like this post. It feels like a "HEY LOOK AT ME I'M UNINFORMED MAJORITY LOOK AT ME ASK ABOUT JESTERS"-post.


Leonshade's move onto the Vifam wagon is bad.

Spoiler: #236, emphasis mine
Leonshade wrote:I don't like Vifam trying to deflect the suspicion on him onto someone else, but
(A) I'm going to keep my vote on the Jilynne slot for now. Vifam has enough votes on him at the moment
, and I want to keep a close eye on whoever will replace Jil.
So, as has been articulated, this post is kinda
supporting the wagon yet not really supporting it and also distancing from it but also leaving himself room to actually support the wagon at a later point
.

The given reason for this? (A): Vifam has enough votes.


Spoiler: #270, emphasis mine
Leonshade wrote:
Vifam wrote:God damm it.


I'll defend myself later.


This is starting to become ridiculous.

Unvote
Vote: Vifam


(B) Vifam seems to be avoiding questioning, and
that combined with
him trying to deflect suspicion is making him look like scum to me.


killerjester wrote:Vifam joined the Jil wagon early on, what are your feelings on this? And why do you think Jil is scummier than Vifam?


I don't think Vifam joining the Jil wagon early on is anything special, it was a viable wagon at a time when not much else was going on.
(C) As for Jil, me staying on that bandwagon was more because I felt that there were already a lot of people pressuring Vifam so I figured I could do more by pressuring and questioning another player. But since it looks like it might take a while to replace Jilynne, I don't see much reason to stay on that bandwagon.
Here, Leonshade moves onto the wagon, even though there has actually been a net movement of MORE votes onto the Vifam wagon.

(B) suggests that previously,
by itself
, Vifam's deflection of suspicion was not enough to convince Leonshade that Vifam was scum.

However, surely then, Leonshade's reason for not voting Vifam earlier would have been that (by itself) the deflection of suspicion was not enough to earn his vote. As we've seen [see (A)] that was NOT his reason for not voting Vifam, and herein lies the contradiction.


(C): When he tries to reconcile his earlier stance of not voting Vifam with his vote now, he uses the excuse that jily's slot is taking a while to get replaced. Which a reasonable justification for unvoting jily.

However, it is NOT a reasonable justification for voting Vifam, who has more votes than he did when Leonshade avoided voting Vifam before [see (A)]. Because that reason should still be valid for not voting Vifam.

Leonshade is trying to make it look like he had to choose between voting jily and Vifam, which of course is NOT the case. There are plenty of great people to vote (Pappums' list is good).


UNVOTE: Vifam
VOTE: Leonshade

(Haven't conferred with diddin, but I like my case.)


chkballin wrote:Pinky and the Brain - Called jily out for a lack of content when at that time their own player slot hadn't brought much more, if anything, to the table besides indifference to mass claiming; null/leaning scum.

With all due respect, this is stupid. We hadn't posted yet (obviously I'm excluding /confirms) and thus hadn't had an opportunity to comment on anything but jily had posted and had the opportunity to comment and she didn't (or DIDDIN'T! HA! Yeah, I stole that pun off somebody).


silverdrummer wrote:Vifam is... I don't know what to think. See, I do believe that Vifam's behaviour is newbish, but... The fact that he's made an Alt account kind of nulls that. If he thinks he's not all that new, then we can't let him off for being new.
For this, I'm going to VOTE: Vifam, for now.

Whatttt is this crap.

If a midget doesn't think he's a midget, is he no longer a midget? Should he then be allowed onto, say, Theme Park rides with a minimum height restriction (which he does not meet)?

Your reason for ruling out Vifam as newb(-town) is stupid and based on something completely arbitrary to the game. Try again, please.

killerjester wrote:@easjo682, you've yet to vote. Do you feel there is someone in 6 pages of talk scummy enough to deserve your vote? If not, why?


how am I meant to explain why I'm not voting for someone other than to say I don't feel anyone is sticking out as scum. This is because all of the posting thus far has come off to me like townies bickering and typical early game sheeping. The start of most games comes off like that to me. When I feel it is time I will lay down a vote, but I will not be pressured into it.


jilynne1991 wrote:You guys...I am sooo sorry, but I really need to start cutting the crap out of my life, because I'm going to a math camp soon and then I'm trying to get into a boarding school, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to leave mafiascum, sorry. I really wish I didn't have to leave everyone like this, but I really don't want to waste my summer. I know I should have thought of this earlier, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience it caused you guys.


okay this post comes off as weird as hell, mostly cause I don't like people replacing out as soon as they come under a tiny bit of pressure. Not going to use this against the new person, I'll wait to see how they act.


ThAdmiral wrote:I am of the philosophy that you should ALWAYS have your vote on someone.


Why?
I'm of the belief that I should only lay down a vote when I feel someone is deserving of it. Because it shows that you genuinly believe a person to be dodgy as fuck, when you always have a vote on someone especially if you shift it round alot it comes off wishy washy (and potentially sheepish or WIFOM)


@people in general:
can we not discuss roles when it's pure speculation, save it for discussing a claim and how likely the claim is true.

David Xanatos wrote:But.. surely a game based on identifying tells and using them to determine who is "Scum" is undermined by a "person" who has the posting habits of multiple people, especially if those people are completely anonymous? :/


meta is dangerous, people can easliy intentionally or unintentionally change it. I find you can't grab valid tells from meta
.
Blue: Null - wrong, but null.
Red: Scummy - trying to appear helpful.
Green: Slight-town/null - not backing down on personal views.

So you're exaggerating slightly.

It begs the question though: why are you not voting easjo?

TBF diddin and I aren't constantly nattering away at each other. As of this post we have 14 posts in the Hydra QT and most are one-liners.

I don't think it's paticularly of note when two heads of a hydra disagree with each other. I wouldn't expect masons to always agree 100% on everything and it's the same with a hydra: diddin and I don't agree on everything.

    Cognitive dissonance from joking about jesters and then calling people stupid for talking about jesters. Probably caused by me (correctly) calling out his intent behind his first post (see I).

plj wrote:We believe Zinger should be the lynch for today for several reasons.

1. He has claimed third party, which is clearly anti-town and therefore he has no reason to help town.
2. His claimed ability of jailkeeping is bad for town. He is anti-town, and therefore his JK's will not be with the intention of helping the town. Our PRs may get blocked, and he has no reason to try to avoid blocking them because his only intention will be to fulfill his wincon.
3. His roleclaim does not make sense. He claims that the person he JK's that is his target will be roleblocked for the rest of the game, when he is supposedly a jailkeeper. Also, as has been mentioned, the chances of him completing his wincon are very slim if he is what he says he is.


1 and 2 aren't necessarily true. He does have a reason to help town (to avoid getting lynched or vigged) and his claimed ability isn't necessarily bad for town, if he's directed. Of course, it's impossible to tell (short of tracking him) whether he'd doing what we tell him to do, so it's not necessarily a good idea to keep him alive, but like... if I am mysteriously roleblocked tonight, I'm sure as hell going to be pushing for his lynch tomorrow, regardless of whether it was actually him that roleblocked me. It's actually in his best interests to work with town, because it doesn't really hinder his claimed win-con, and it means he's more likely to be kept alive.

Of course, that's assuming he's telling the truth about his role. Which I don't think he is. He's not scum, that much I'm confident about. If he is third party, I don't consider him a threat. There's the possibility he's town and this was some gambit he thought was a really smart idea, and considering it's Zinger, this is something I think is a very real possibility.

In any case, he is not a good lynch today.

While it is (imho) sound logic (about Zinger theoretically willing to work with town if third-party), I only agree 'to an extent' though - not enough to deter me from the Zinger lynch. Why?
Zinger2099 [emphasis mine] wrote:
I'm not taking this game seriously
anyway. If you think I am upset because half the town is voting me, well... I'm not even really upset at all. I just think certain players here (a lot of them) are assholes and need a reality check. And I am entitled to my opinion.

I use these forums to do all the stupid things I would never consider doing on the other forums where I play mafia
so that I can see first hand why doing that is a bad idea without screwing with my rep on the site that I take the game seriously.

The above quotations mean I find it very, very doubtful that we can trust Zinger to play to his win-con, regardless of alignment, and the best solution is to lynch him now.

If he's town, clearly he can't be trusted, and I'm expecting him to jail anybody but the person we direct him to because he can: "TROLOLOL STUPID MS.NET IS STUPID THEY'RE ALL IDIOTS ANYWAY TROLOLOOOL SERVES DEM RITE FOR BEING OVERCONFIDENT AND ARROGANT AND RUDE". So let's just lynch him already.

If he's third-party, he still pretty clearly can't be trusted. So let's just lynch him already.

If he's Mafia, he's mafia.
So let's just lynch him already.

I've been Neighborized by two seperate players today. Both have claimed the same mechanics behind how they Neighborize.

I've come to the conclusion that it is unlikely as heck that both are Town. One may be Third Party. One may be Scum. Both might be Scum.

Discuss the ramifications ...

Disagree. It's null imo (for both, having said, I find it unlikely that both would be scum
together
).

See recently-finished Les Misérables Mafia for a fine example of why Out-Guessing Mod is bad.

Having said that, I don't know the mechanics they're claiming and it may be that the mechanics are such that it's unlikely both are town (although I struggle to think of an example which would fit this).

The above argument is just weak. Jester speculation is ALWAYS dumb but rarely is it scummy - for it to be a scumtell, you have to do the sort of WIFOM acrobatics that Pinky is doing where you suppose that the person is scum deliberately acting dumb to appear town.

(This is from a while back now but) I disagree and I think you're totally mis-interpreting here.

The Jester-spec looked like a joke to me about how scummy Vifam was (LOL SO SCUMMY COULD BE JESTER), but the kind of joke that scum would make thinking it would look like a town-joke (if that makes sense).

I'm not supposing "that the person is scum deliberately acting dumb to appear town".

In fact, YOU'VE PLAYED IN A LARGE THEME GAME WITH A SCUM JAILKEEPER (admittedly you replaced out, BUT STILL)

The point I was making wrt Zinger-Chevre was a possible scum-slip from Zinger (obviously I was trying to approach it subtly) - in hind-sight, pappums' interpretation of a town-slip is more logical.

How the hell is my izak vote 'lazy' when I made a case?

I was quite obviously joking when talking about Jesters, while Junpei was not. The way I see it the two are (quite obviously) completely separate.

They aren't separate at all. If I made a (distateful) joke about how much I hated Jews but then told my anti-semitic friend that his views were stupid, that's cognitive dissonance (and hypocrisy).

It just smacks of scum trying to look like they are providing reads without actually providing any reads at all.

Your additional excuse of "lolfocus on Chevre" doesn't cut it, as there was equally as much focus (read: not that much) on 3IF, silverdrummer and Zinger, and
more
focus on Meransiel and LeonShade.


Zinger - why should I (or anybody else) trust you to play to your win-con (if you're town or 3rd party), given you've already made it clear you're not opposed to doing stupid things
just to see what happens
?

I don't care if MS.net is supposedly the best mafia forums around, the people here (and I know I am generalizing, there are obvious people here who don't fit that persona) have given me a horrible first impression of it. Just because you are a member of the most prestigious mafia forums and you've been here for years and can quote theory out the wazoo doesn't make you any better than the noob who started playing his first game 2 hours ago. I'm not just talking for myself either, as I usually don't care when somebody is a dick to me, but I can't stand watching people 'bully' others.


/disagree

This isn't strictly game relevant, but it needs to be said. If you start playing soccer, and kick the ball into the wrong goalposts, you are "doing it wrong", and any other player would be justified in getting angry at you for it. It's the same situation here. Obviously, there is a greater variety of ways that you can play mafia than many other games, but the reality is that, from a theory standpoint, certain modes of play are far superior (in the sense of likely to advance a win con) than others.

The "it's just a game" excuse really doesn't wash when you take into account the fact that for those of us who have a serious commitment to this game, it can be something like three hours a day stretching over a period of months per game. Surely you can see why we get annoyed when we see a newcomer not taking the game seriously and, effectively, causing us to waste our time. It's not that the people on MS.net are more arrogant or bullying, it's that we take the game far more seriously than other sites.
/disagree

There is a distinct difference between telling someone they are doing something wrong, and being an arrogant asshole. In your soccer example, sure the teammates might be miffed that one of their team kicked the ball into the wrong goal, but they aren't going to throw that teammate to the ground and kick him and say "I don't ever want to play soccer with you again," nor will they go to the referee and say "can you kick him off the team because he kicked the ball into the wrong goal?"

That is not taking the game more seriously, that's being an asshole.

/agrees with vollkan

It's the World Cup. Player X's team has been awarded a penalty kick, and the score is 0-0.

Player X steps up to take the penalty, but decides to take it with his eyes closed to see what happens - because he's always wanted to do that, but he doesn't want to tarnish his club perfect penalty record - which is why now, at the World Cup, is the perfect opportunity. He's never really cared about international football anyway.

This is essentially your justification:
Zinger2099 wrote:I use these forums to do all the stupid things I would never consider doing on the other forums where I play mafia so that I can see first hand why doing that is a bad idea without screwing with my rep on the site that I take the game seriously.


Player X runs, slips and (in his blind flailing) only manages a weak contact with the side of the ball. The ball harmlessly wobbles out for a goal kick.

Player X's international team-mates would be COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED in getting fucking furious with him.

No, he isn’t right. He claimed I posted 6 times elsewhere between those two posts. As I demonstrated I only posted twice. It can’t be any more clear cut than that.

You eventually both agreed on the whole "2 posts after initial post, then following the accusation of 'dodging', a further 4 posts (in other games)". That's what I'm talking about.


@

: I Ctrl+F'd 'Zinger' in your ISO, and I found very, very little. The third party claim (although now retracted) has been one of the main events of today - why is it that you've had so little to say about it?

Chevre, the fact that Zinger claimed third-party (despite his retraction) can't be erased from history - why do you think silverdrummer is a better lynch than Zinger?

Bullshit. You have done nothing to scumhunt and you are telling others to scumhunt harder. All you do is talk about how Pine is scum just because he pissed you off in an old game. You're even deflecting any accusations of going under the radar directed towards anybody in this game with HEY JUST LOOK AT PINE. It's not scumhunting. The last lines are just appealing to emotion and trying to lead the town. Protip: You don't have to wait until the deadline to lynch. People aren't scumhunting anymore because there have been cases presented, but we can't choose a bloody lynch. There is no reason for this day to go longer than it needs to. Personally, the deadline is too long. It's been more than two weeks and we still have three weeks? WAAAY too long.

I never said wait until deadline to lynch but you get a shit load more info if you wait a few days before it. If you think the deadline is too long... there's a forum called marathon that you should look at which may suit your... attention level more.
Agree or diagree, more posts and more views on people enhance your read on people?
(You already have to answer agree.. had I not posted what I did then you wouldn't be reading me as scum and omgusing)
Lastly again your stating the deadline is too long... you just state this as personal preference... so i have to ask... why... reasons please.


Fail accusation of OMGUS... you yourself said that what I said wasn't indicative of alignment. Why would I have to OMGUS you if you aren't expressing suspicion? Do you think I'm stupid?

And deadlines be damned, sometimes days just need to end. There has been a shitload of activity in these past 2 weeks and most games don't have a
FIVE WEEK DEADLINE
, so you don't have to mudsling and tell me to go play Marathon. I've said this so many times, but we're really getting nothing out of this day. You can say "WE CAN GET MORE INFO," but really, how much info have we gotten in the last few pages? How much MORE info would we get with a lynch right now?

You aren't "carrying this town" and it's extremely arrogant to say that you are. And, as it turns out, lots of the town that you're carrying think you're scum. And if you flip town, it won't necessarily make your reads correct.

Nero asks this
And why was it so important you have a full fledged case on you?

This question... should never be asked by someone ESPECIALLY someone who wants you lynched. A full fledged case obviously helps both the person trying to push a wagon and possibly the person trying to dissuade themselves from being wagoned. Why? Because it pushes information out for the town to analyze, others can fully see why you believe this is a good choice, it also gives the person who you have the case on to try to justify themselves and dissuade said "facts" that you present. If it isn't clear cut then people tend to just ignore it or glance over it which helps neither party. The fact that you question why I'd ever want the case on me just proves your motivation to push a mislynch mired in disinformation and a hope to declare no responsibility for it. I'm now cemented on my read on you for this and I greatly thank you for it.

Each of those fits the bill of not knowing if roles are flavored or not past the character name, since they would presumeably have the same flavoring as vanilla town. So Zinger is scum also caught now for making up an aspect of his role, and continues to be scum for scum. Lynch him now.

No. Jesters are explicitly banned from this set-up via the Mod.

Where does it say that?


In the signup thread, I believe.

I just find it funny that about 25% of the posts in this game are either Junpei or DX.

All we need to do is wait for vezo to confirm/deny that Junpei is a lying scumbag. Withholding our vote until then.

Junpei, in his 4th post of the day (after being prodded by diddin for his tracker report) wrote:I don't know if
[my tracker report]
is something I should out or not, it could be -EV town.

Junpei:
Why did we have prod you to say this? Why didn't you bring this up at the beginning of the day ("Hey, guys, help me out - should I reveal my tracker report or not?")?


izakthegoomba wrote:Given the state of things righ now, I'd be fine with a Silver lynch, though I want to look into it a bit more before I place my vote.

However, Junpei's reasoning for the track target is flimsy at best. Plus, from what I've heard, Vezok is a regular VI.

@Vezok I know this has been said already, but do you know if Junpei is lying?

Also, I'm waiting on this whole neiborizing thing MoI has going on.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, izak:
Spoiler: izak's scum-post paraphrased
izakthegoomba, paraphrased, wrote:Hmm, I'd better avoid taking any clear stances - don't want to get caught up in any scummy contradictions I might make!

I've got a feeling that both silver and Junpei could potentially both have large wagons, so I'd better give myself a way to wriggle onto them at a later date - I don't want to commit now, otherwise I could get caught up in a scummy contradiction! I'd better see how things play out.

So how should I give myself a way onto their wagon without overcommitting myself? Hey, I know! I'll make vague attacks which don't actually provide any analysis or reasoning!


"Given the state of things right now"
- heh, I'm a genius! That makes it look like I know what's going on without me actually having to provide any analysis!

"reasoning... is flimsy"
- oh, man, that is bulletproof. Rock solid. There's no arguing with that. I've used an adjective that is very indicative of scum, therefore I don't need to provide the logic or thought process behind it!


Huh, but that post is too short. Let me fluff it up a little more.

I know, I'll pretend I'm scum-hunting by parroting other people!

Oh, but they might realise that I'm doing that... I KNOW! If I acknowledge that I'm parroting other people, I can't possible be called out on it! GENIUS!


I'll end with a reminder that I know just as little as everybody else
(*wink*)
. Heh heh heh. I'M JUST SO GOOD AS SCUM!

Obviously I was incorrect to say the least. Though I still fully believe it was productive in some ways.

Diddin's vote puts Zinger at L-2.

Stop ninjaing me!

This post is of paticular note - he notes the Zinger wagon is at L-2, yet despite previously expressing views that he is a better lynch than Zinger, he doesn't put up any resistance as Zinger is lynched.

Between ISOs #63 and #64, Zinger was placed to L-1 very clearly, but silver neither acknowledges nor fights against it.

His main account ISO also lacks any vehement protests.

You don't gauge people based on how 'threatening' they are (which is completely illogical from a town mindset anyway), but on their likelihood to be scum.

What counts as a 'threat'? How are some people more 'threatening' than others?

People are either scum or town (or possibly 'non-threatening third party' as alluded to w/r/t the Zinger situation, whatever).

Scum are a threat.

Town / 'non-threatening third party' are not a threat.

There are no degrees of 'threat' - degrees on how likely people are to be a threat, perhaps, but no degrees on how much of a threat players (presumably scum) are.

Players do not become threats overnight (in a non-bastard game), so how can players be 'not a threat for today'?

A player who is a threat will be a threat regardless of which day it is (semantically speaking, it's arguable that for example an odd-night SK may not be considered a threat on an even-night, but as an anti-town prescence I would still consider that player a threat).

Rodion's urgent posting of Meta without request is townie. He's showing he has nothing to hide.

Oversoul is chronically lurking in this thread and claims to be on vacation, yet has posted like 230 times before his last post? Bullshit, he's lurking scum.

Slight disclaimer: The below post
may
contain parts which contain snooping on a level that some people consider unfair (not me!)

It's shoddy and shitty - and when you mix those two words, you get
shotty

teehee words r fun



izakthegoomba wrote:I'm pretty sure shotty's reputation is more widespread than mine.
^^ This a million times.

Meransiel wrote:Also, I didn't play with shotty before, so I wouldn't know.
The implication being you knew nothing of his playstyle/history...


Meran: firstly, links to completed games with izak plz.

Secondly, you've seriously not heard about shotty's reputation on this site?
<---- SCEPTICAL



So, sceptical Hoppster went about a-snooping, and:

Given your posting in F62* [people clicking the link should change the options at the foot of the page to sort by Forum rather than Post Time] (not specifically referring to any post yet but rather the fact that you post and therefore browse F62), I verrrrrrrry much doubt that you were unaware of the general site perceiving his play in a negative manner (after all shotty-related drama has cropped up more than once).

Most damning was this paticular post:
drmyshottyizsik [snippet of [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=3183071#p3183071]OP[/url]], in a thread titled '[url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=18020]Maybe My Last Thread[/url]' wrote:So as a lot of people may know I may be perma's today :/, and while I don't agree with that choice, if I step back and look at my original ban I notice two things. First is that it wasn't that bad of a ban, and the second is that I deserved it. I broke site guidelines and I was an ass whole in general. I'm sorry to the entire site...

[...]

...and until I feel comfortable posting here again, knowing that I won't blow up or rage or insult someone for the hell of it, I am gone. Thank you MafiaScum for all of the fun you have brought me over the last year, but on my scum day I must leave. Good bye.


So, basically, either there was this person announcing his departure and you thought it'd be :LOLFUNNY: to tell him to fuck off despite not knowing anything about this person('s negative perception on-site) - or, more likely, you certainly did know about shotty's site-rep (hence :FUCKOFF:), and therefore
your strong implication that you knew nothing of shotty's playstyle is bullshit
.


*Those of you with no F62 access: firstly, LOL U+; secondly, I've included the most relevant quotes so you don't miss out. Just take my word for the rest of it.

+I'm sure you'll work out how to access it if you try enough

I inferred it on the premise that the basic logic below shows you to be a lying scumbag, and you would deny being a lying scumbag, so for efficiency I skipped the step where you refute the below logic on the basis that "I DIDN'T KNOW HIS REPUTATION" (which you strongly implied anyway, as the below logic is common sense).


So you know this guy has a reputation for being terrible/derpy-to-the-max.
