Mmm tbh that explanation did not clear things up

I do think it's a big jump to think that, for several reasons.

We all know when we were told our alignment, and it was with ample time prior to day 1 starting. Scum would have certainly already be talking and exchanging role information. It's *very* hard to believe that that discussion happens without the captain learning (directly or implicitly) that the roles are not connected to alignment, and that their team had gotten the roles before put in scumchat.

But how easy is it to believe that a non-captain makes such an obvious mistake that literally every non-captain player should intrinsically know? Seeing how TPC makes that mistake, we know that it happened (unless he was pretending). This outcome is nearly inconceivable as either captain or non-captain

I'm gonna be honest it still makes no sense to me

Bussing vote.

overexplaining "third vote scum vote" imo

shwinnebego posted:

wologar is town and his reads are good

death cob is scum imo but i don't think TPC is really

completely underexplaining and can't even bother to say like "oh it's just vibes"; look at this ham sandwich motherfucker willing to give two hard reads but then say "I don't think this guy is scum, not really, nooooo"

am I more scum than anarc? did you forget you were voting anarc?

Anyway, not really seeing the "gotcha" from the TPC post either and I'm a bit sus of people still pushing it. TPC, while guilty of having a really distracting and fast-moving avatar that makes it very hard to focus on his posts, made an assumption that would have been correct in a standard game and retracted it when informed that this game clearly in the "Is this balanced? Lol" category. Keep in mind this is a Fire and Ice game too, so scum are also hunting scum.

saladscooper posted:

i mean i think keats does make a pretty major assumption when he thinks "scum captains would not be told that other people received their roles in a certain way"

i'd assume that captains get role powers and captain status assigned to them all at once personally

but it's good enough for d1 probably

saladscooper posted:

THAT BEING SAID the votes piled on so goddamn quickly that if tpc does flip scum i think there's a solid chance of there being someone from the other scumteam on them rn

salad running interference for a tpc=scum ?

though

a) plastic kinda picked up the whole idea first and then keats kind of built on that (a natural 'yes, and' i think)

b) my thought was... keats is talking pretty confident about a captain's perspective hmmmmm?

Where's the Anarc/Cob pairing coming from?

It's not a pairing. It's a scum hodgepodge.

PlasticAutomaton posted:

But what's in the hodgepodge?

wologar posted:

There are two scum teams. I have no idea if they're in the same team.

I'm feeling this one more at the moment: ##vote Cob

Vibes based on AN's comment during the draft and Cob's vote.

Cob is probably a stronger "case".

Would also vote TPC, mainly because of the missing word in this post reacting to your vote:

Looks like a panicked reaction to being caught.

This is all the effort I can muster until now.

shwinnebego posted:

This is a fake vote. It feels fake. Not sure how to explain it any better than that.

okay i think shwinne and wolo are scum, possibly on the same team. probably on the same team when i also think that:

tpc scum with maybe salad and maybe zoya.

turps super posting power.

i'm killing it.
