You and GJ... Do you think I don't KNOW that a readlist as early as I posted it looks like busywork, inherently scummy? I'm not an idiot. I've posted a readlist early game after game after game because it's a thing I choose to do to keep myself on track. I posted Dumbledore because of a great quote from that series.
I do, in fact! I also know that there's a difference between posting reads with justifiable logic, and reads that have clearly stretched logic in an attempt to not look falsified.
Re: Rodemy, he strikes me as playing his town meta, but I usually just disregard him for the first couple of Days. He tends to sort himself out with increasingly outlandish actions.
Going to need to address #245 tomorrow (although how you find #136 to be coaching, whenever we’re actually having a disagreement on how we’re interpreting your mindset, blows my mind), although I do kind of do that below.

@Anak: It's fencesitting because he hadn't given a definitive opinion on anything negative besides Vaimes at that point in the thread. False positive/potential misread on DV based on tone. "Need to see more x6." "Could go either way/[up or down]x3." Literally in the same breath says why he could unvote GJ at a later date.
Most importantly, I had already picked the target before bringing that up. However, by applying the pressure in a condescending manner, I can further demonstrate Osie pulling at straws with justification for me. "Patronizing coaching?" Where am I trying to correct his, or anyone's, actions? "Casual buddying?" Does he mean "not misrepresenting someone else's position as my own," or did he mean "pointing out objectively true information?"
Not to mention the buzzwords he throws around in 201, like disingenuous (how?) and poking out shade (read: getting people to justify their claims).

@GF Can you explain which outcome of T/T or T/S (either direction) is most likely re: Vaimes/DV? What do you think will clue you in to the answer of “What does Osie’s tryingharding mean?”
I agree with Rodemy, GJ does seem to be frustrated. Maybe it’s scum being caught for the wrong reasons, maybe it’s just rust being demonstrated in posting. I know I felt the latter outcome in Prison Block.
@Osie
You said earlier in reference to GJ that you didn't want to "read ahead", but you've put a fair amount of effort into a reads list. Is there an incongruity there or am I just nit picking?
@Grape
You said that Vaimes/DV is unlikely to be s/s, you then say that DV/GJ is unlikely to be both scum. Can you clarify that for me? Do you have a feeling one way or the other about any of them?
@Osie
You said earlier in reference to GJ that you didn't want to "read ahead", but you've put a fair amount of effort into a reads list. Is there an incongruity there or am I just nit picking?
@Dan I think Vaimes is town, his tone just reads right to me. I think that the argument is most likely a town v town one but I don't have a strong read on DV at all. As for Osie I don't know. I've never seen him post with this much effort before. I don't think it's particullary alignment indicative. If I had to guess I'd say it's one of 4 things. 1. He rolled scum and loves his teammates. 2. He saw something in another game and is particularly inspired by it. 3. He loves his role this game. 4. I'm underestimating how hard Osie tries in general.
@Tubba I go into the DV/Vaimes above but basically I think they aren't scum together because of the intensity of the arguments. It's the same argument with DV/GJ with the same qualifiers. I don't have town or scum reads on either but I don't think they are knowingly aligned.
Mod Note: In an unforseen twist, I have actually elected to utilize the Votecounter Tool for some of the votecounts, so please be advised that the following rules are now more strictly in affect.
The current voting rules are:
Make sure your votes are bolded. Please keep nicknames reasonable.
Unvotes must stand alone (instead of using "unvote: player X", simply use “unvote”).
A player cannot vote and then afterwards unvote in the same post (the program looks for unvotes before votes).
Do not use extraneous punctuation in your vote. A single “:” after the word “vote” is permissible but not required.
You must have a space between the word "vote" and the name of the player you wish to vote. If you use a colon, the space must appear after the colon. Ex.: [b]Vote shadowlancerx[/b] or [b]Vote: shadowlancerx[/b]
You cannot use italics or colors when voting unless you make the bold tags the innermost tags. Ex: [color=blue][b]Vote: shadowlancerx[/b][/color]
I do encourage you to color your votes though
Do not put extra spaces between your vote and the bold tags. This kills the vote.
If your vote was not counted, simply vote again. “Incorrect” vote counts will not be altered unless I determine they were uncounted due to an error in the program.
If you accidentally break quote tags that contain someone else's vote, your vote will be changed by the machine and you will need to revote.
In general, if you vote using the player’s full name and only type “[b.]vote playername[./b]” (without the periods) your vote will be counted.
@Dan I think Vaimes is town, his tone just reads right to me. I think that the argument is most likely a town v town one but I don't have a strong read on DV at all. As for Osie I don't know.

This post is not a scummy post, but it is poop.

osie, talk to me more about how you think Wuffles is a cheek player?
I meant it more in a "I'm scum and totally gonna fake-pocket Vaimes after he just got done explaining how it's a thing scum like to do, neener neener neener they'll never catch me!"
The masked man pokes his head up from a loose floorboard breathing like a portly English chap that just had to run to the corner shop to acquire more biscuits five minutes before closing.GOOD, MY WORK HERE IS DONE. The man untangles his imposing black cloak from a floorboard nail and disappears, however his breathing under the floorboards is like a ventilation system filled with rusty forks.

okay but srsly that would be awesome tho. I didn't even notice that you were just done with talking about pocketing I just was still fanboying a bit over your performance in that game.

The masked man appears behind kpaca, breathing heavily on his neck.
I don't have a posting restriction - but when am I ever going to get s chance to play DARTH ******* VADER in a mafia game ever again?
I think Vaimes/osie/D_V are all town btw.
The masked man sets up a stage, and begins doing "the robot". At the end, all that can be heard is a rasping series of breaths, like a thousand carpet pythons serenading the room with a delicate song in unison.
It’s just a bad post. I just didn’t want me saying the post is poop to be interpreted as me saying it was a scummy post, or a townie post for that matter. My point was that it was a bad analysis.
Poop.

I don't know what to tell you, man. I am clearly annoyed by the way you're approaching me, yet you keep pushing on. I would prefer you either change tactics or just talk to other players.
I can't tell you what to do or how to play. It is a request.
I don't know how else you were expecting me to answer a question like "are you trying to shade all the players, Vaimes?"

Okay, but the part where it's more or less likely to be xyz alignment is a pretty important next step.
There was no reason to continue the post after "I don't think it's alignment indicative for him." There was no real need to bring up the possibility of him liking his role at all.

Tough?
I'm just asking you questions. What the **** else do you want me to do?
It's an exaggeration that just paints me in a negative light.
Scumreading something a player did is not throwing shade.
If you want to ask me a question, how about you pick one that actually helps you solve something and not just remind me how scummy you think I am.
Your question against Kpaca was a BS question. His first reason was more than good enough.
You've been whining about me asking you questions since the game has started. I'm legit asking you what do you want me to do?
Just like the whole Role fishing thing. I a. Don't get how its scummy. b. It wasn't even role fishing, he threw it out as a possible reason with 2 other reasons.
You attacks just seem to be the lowest common denominator and seem purposefully to be painting those you are commenting on in bad light. While attempting to elevate your own opinion to a higher standard. Its belittling, rude and derivative. If that wasn't enough, you've stooped to whining when people are calling you out on it now. I'm really uncertain how to progress the game because if this is how its going to be its not going to be fun.

Yeah, just talk to other players for a bit and we can try talking again later.
Didn't you read the front page?
Its a game mechanic.
JK. I've never seen the site ***** its brains out this badly though.

I posted reads when I was caught up...
I'mma come back to the rest of this post but I think it's both too subtle and something that scum just doesn't need to do.
@Tubba I go into the DV/Vaimes above but basically I think they aren't scum together because of the intensity of the arguments. It's the same argument with DV/GJ with the same qualifiers. I don't have town or scum reads on either but I don't think they are knowingly aligned.

Jesus **** you people post a lot.
I'm at work a few more hours. D_V, Osie, Vaimes, reading your threesome is like three people...well,having a a threesome in the same room as me.
Distracting, loud, and at the end of it everyone's just exhausted from the effort.
I'll see if there's any actual useful information to be gleaned tonight.
Gentleman johnny seems to be a pretty aggressive dude. Like wisp gets an hour after his bedtime.
The masked man flies through a window, still breathing like an overweight rhino in a decathlon.
I meant it more in a "I'm scum and totally gonna fake-pocket Vaimes after he just got done explaining how it's a thing scum like to do, neener neener neener they'll never catch me!"
Besides "scum aren't that bad."
The man untangles his imposing black cloak from a floorboard nail and disappears, however his breathing under the floorboards is like a ventilation system filled with rusty forks.
Are you just trying to throw all the shade you can at every player in this game?
I wasn’t aware I needed two reasons.
No its just that you keep throwing shade on every player.
Is this how you normally play? Or are you in a bad mood?
I pointed out something I disliked to compare viewpoints with a player who isn't you. Please hop off and stop needling me.
Don't tell me how to play my game.
Thanks!
Please hop off and stop being a jerk to other players. Me questioning you is just playing the game correctly. If you can't be accountable

How is it rolehunting Vaimes?
"I think it's not S/S and Vaimes is town because tone."
Why don't you have a read on DV?
rolefishing is better
Tough?
I'm just asking you questions. What the **** else do you want me to do?
@DV
@Vaimes
It's not true.
I know it. You know it.

you follow?

I don't really feel like fighting this battle.
Me either lol.
That means laugh our loud. But really I have no clue either.

This exchange man lol.
