Seems different than your thoughts today, although these did happen a decade ago so.

I specifically mention and include that these are old games!

If Voodoofly thought his opinions changed in the last ten years, why would he cite his old meta!

There's three years of games before votefinder was used. You should check those out too. Voodoo started playing in 2007.

(I don't see why people (CCKeane) would do this).

If CCK had come out of the gate with no prior conversation and "I looked at some of Voodoo's old games and he's saying something different today than he did then," that would be weird. Here, CCK is responding directly to Voodoo's defense, which was, "I've done this in every game I've played." I think Voodoo is allowed to exaggerate, or forget games, or change his style over time; but CCK looking into it is reasonable, and he gets points for effort.

Like, this is how I see things are going:

-Voodoofly advocates a lurker execution
-I ask him to defend it
-Voodoofly cites 8 year old meta
-I check 8 year old meta and see an inconsistency

So we're all in agreement this is what happened, right?

But what I don't get is why citing 8 year old meta, implying your thoughts haven't changed, is okay, but checking that 8 year old meta is wrong.

I'm going to throw out a hypothesis here, Voodooflys remembers his town meta was to go after lurkers, and is trying to go after lurkers to keep with his town meta.

Some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help

This never came up because I said go back thru my meta to judge me. Ham asked if anyone successfully hit scum with day 1 lurker lynches and I said no but I think we successfully won more town games doing it, and that as scum I’ve hidden among lurkers for wins even after losing everyone on early scum lynches.

CCK then asked for examples and I linked votefinder.

It’s not worth the effort looking for old posts to defend my view on lurkers and it wouldn’t make me town or scum here. It’s something I believe is the right way to play regardless of alignment or any one game, and I’ve been saying it at least as far back as Tom’s old brain slugs game (first one I really remember).

I mean Merk bought me a gavel that said lurker judge as a Christmas present at one point because of how often I talked about going after lurkers.


I still think CCK talking about hyperbole in one Andy post, but ignoring it in any of Andy’s other posts taking about Tom, or just ignoring the content of Andy’s argument in general and focusing on hyperbole as some sort of tell, was a totally opportunistic case.

Also Amni isn't scum for the action of shooting Steak. Whether or not scum have the vig ability is a different conversation in itself, but the action isn't inherently scummy. I can count on one hand how many times a vig has held a shot past D1 (the most recent one being one of my games, but there was a reason for that).

Shooters shoot.

Deadbeat Dad posted:

I don't have any definite "this person is 100% scum" thoughts but I'll tell you what sort of reads I feel good on:

I don't get MiR's/vivat's snipe on me which I've asked for an explanation a few times when I explained it to Tucker already prior to the snipe in the first place. Reminds me of the KCW/Miku "cases"/votes in HP (who both flipped scum) but I didn't want to be too OMGUS about it in that game. Come at me with good stuff or you'll get doubted.

I think the ensuing Amni stuff was weird, including your vote on it. Basically anybody involved that inferred way too much doubt about a vig shooting felt weird to me. Didn't like Varinn's posts on it. Didn't like the votes on Amni because of it, especially because I think he was mis-characterized as a vig that was going to shoot and coast the rest of the game.

Not seeing all of the Liger stuff either, I agree with most of his posts.

##vote Varinn

Would also vote MiR, yuming, or anybody else who tried to make something big out of the vig shot being a "scum power/thing". Scum usually need something to sink their teeth into content wise on D1 and that was a perfect opportunity to sow confusion. I'm willing to give Amni the benefit of the doubt until some other stuff happens, or.. hell... if his posting was too scummy to ignore, I wouldn't even factor in the vig as something that should be "points" for his town. But he just seems like every other D1 vig that hit or missed.

There are a lot of zero risk opinions mixed up in here.

i had already responded and then you asked again

after going back and reading your posts again, i do see the post you're referring to, however my answer is the same: speedreading several hundred posts on the app makes it extraordinarily difficult to follow a single person's train of thought. there are 24 people in this game. i did not notice, in my quick read, that your vote was the one that was rescinded after realizing it was a joke

i also don't really care. again, that one post wasn't the only reason i voted liger. i've said this already

No my position changed again when voodoo pointed out his case wasn’t legit which led me back to suspecting you for the reasons cited above. I missed the post where you stated you agreed with voodoo, so I said my bad, but then voodoo reminded me that you shouldn’t have been agreeing with him in the first place, so now I’m back!

I did this several times in HP4 (I didn't even post them all), if someone tries to say "I always do this as town!" I look for receipts.
Granted I wasn't strictly town aligned in that game, but it is something I would do either way (For example, I looked up a dude's off-site games in HP3). I don't think it is a scum-tell or a town-tell, it is just an effort-tell to me

@CCKeane, I think the weirdest part of going so far back to find evidence of his meta (decade will destroy that logic but that’s not my point) is I can’t imagine Keane thought it would be convincing. I can’t imagine Keane posting a decade old remark would be the kinda thing unloading a flood on Voodoofly, so I’m a little confused at the intention.

I'm being transparent with my thought process. hambeet was posting things about yuming, and zzyzx's question got me questioning what scum would do in that situation, and I wrote how I would also be fine voting yuming in that exact post. I think scum would sink their teeth into a case like that instead of making it on second thought, so my vote switched, even though the reasoning for not liking Varinn's D1 are all still there.

It may not be a home run megacase or anything, but I don't do those unless I'm 100% sure. D1 is mostly gut stuff for me and yuming is pinging it like mad.
