But if you're seriously town here Bard, what the fuck. I'm never going to let you hear the end of this.
:ohdear:
It occurred to me that everyone was agreed on Neko as Scum, I felt he was Scum, the Day was dragging with little much news being broken in. I figured we'd best just go forward instead of dawdle around. It's not fun, and Town doesn't always benefit from toeing around awkwardly.
Could either of you paraphrase what Bard was saying about Neko in the QT before the hammer? Would be helpful.
Since I subbed in Neko pretty much did nothing. There was a bunch of stuff about him promising reads on D2 and never quite providing them much, and his cases have generally just been votes with GUT and not much substance or even attempts to get people to follow him. They felt like easy stances to take which is something Scum'd do, while trying to give his cases credence by continuously harassing Town to drop their votes around. The entire episode where he called for lynches on Dan and afterwards calls them jokeposts didn't sit well with me either.
That's it in a nutshell. I felt it was worthy above BT because BT provided cases and has been more forthcoming with actual reads and taking stances that weren't just continuously "gut of the moment" stances.
Just to be clear, are you suggesting Dan is Scum right now?
Affinity, were you roleblocked?
For me, unless NeighbourWhat is a trap, Scum falls between Conq, Dan and BT. My gut says Conq is the Scum, but there's no case I can write that actually substantiates/justifies the gut feeling and I cannot even convince myself overmuch that Conq is THE Scum, so it falls to BT/Dan.
Dan's D1 ends in a lot of Twitterposts which has me all AUGH, Day2 is mostly Twitterposting excepting a case(?) on BT concluding BT is Town. Feels reporterish. Day3 opener is :words: without any scum reads, voted Affinity the Day before then waffles on his read on Affinity, produces a
case but it's reporter.
I obviously don't like voting Conq in Pseudo-LYLO with never a case on why Conq is scum beyond "wrong twice" and "GUT!!". Low effort imho.
BT called for early lynch on D2, which seems ScumEZ since it follows LSD's Gambit and for Scum it'd be beneficial if the Day ended with a Shadoweh quicklynch like nothing else. "Called for" maybe too strong, but "early lynch sounds fine"?? Not sure how Town such a sentiment is, leaning it's not at all. I agree Days don't need to drag on forever just to make sure everyone has exhausted everything, but do think D2 Shadoweh quicklynch premature. Feels like justification to stop thinking.
Of interesting note: Up to that point hasn't stated if thinks Shadoweh is Scum, LSD already revealed was roleblocked. Later votes Shadoweh with rage, think that is genuine though. Haughty confirmation bias attitude re: Shadoweh annoys but isn't actively Scummy I don't think. Still has that weird bit where he sheeps to me and states "pretty certain of Neko/Dan Scum now"; Feels like settling unless absolutely certain of Affinity Scum.
BT's taken stances throughout the game which makes me feel better about him, certainly better than NekoNeko and better than Dan too. Gonna reread HW first thing tomorrow. Generally want to lynch Affinity still but ITP lends him immunity. Just hope we can win despite his presence, not too optimistic about that. If 2 Scum, we lynch Scum, Affinity kills Town, Scum kills Town, we're down to 1v1v1 where Affinity can lynch Scum with us to probably win over us, or we lynch Affinity with Scum to lose to Scum. No real way to win the game there which makes this feel futile.
