Sorry I've been a bit absent today! I'm super wiped out at the moment, but I'm here and reading.

I think faust's logic that either Glooble or someone on his four-person wagon near the end of D1 being scum is pretty solid, and I don't think Glooble is doing a very good job of defending against it or justifying his disagreement with comparable logic.

@faust, your actual assertion was that either Glooble is scum, or he's town with scum already voting there. Obviously you and I can be suspicious of each other for this. Is it time to consider ADK again? I had a residual townread from D1, but I notice you posted at #480 (i.e. well into D2) that you didn't like some of the stuff they were posting. Now you're pressuring Glooble a fair amount, but not ADK. Why the asymmetry there?

I also think Chairs is still looking a bit scummy, especially with that jump onto Galz the minute our IC mentions Galz's absence.

PPE 1: Didds also being tired and reading! Hi friend :-)

Uh yeah, I can relate with the feeling of low energy and tiredness. I don't know if it's the fall coming (getting reaaaally dark in Finland), or the general hellscapiness of the world right now or what, but I've also been lately feeling like it's so difficult to find energy for anything, inluding things I love like playing games like this. Ugh!

faust's case on me is bad. When I flip town, ya'll are going to have to decide if it's just wrong, or if it's intentionally manipulative.

It's bad for the reasons EFHW and I have articulated- Dylan's case on Joseph was solid enough that it made following Robz on to me unappealing. Several potential scum had recently expressed townreads on me and swapping would have made them look suspicious. The case is a nothingburger.

I personally don't know if this is the kind of bad case faust makes in good faith, for instance because he's relying on a maxim (scum will naturally want to follow the IC) without considering the context, or if this is a case scum!faust makes because it's easy to make it look good, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. That's for you to figure out after you exile me.

--snip--

@Glooble responding to earlier point:
I meant to say that it's scummy from faust and Galzria (especially Galzria!) to have been such a small factor this far, being how much they usually influence the game. It's not even about the activity level, just that they aren't really a big part of discussion in any way, although (my feel without rereading is) that faust has been coming to the center more. It's kind of a scum read borne from lack of towny evidence, if you will. For guys with their reputation, laying low early makes a lot of sense as scum, because it's tough to be the at the center of the attention for days on end and avoid the exile every time.

ugh... I was the one that questioned your faust and Galzria comment, not glooble. How did that happen again?!

It's not completely nothing burger, but it's not as good as I thought it was initially.

Oh man, I was just rereading D1, and saw a post by Joseph that I guess I just completely missed at the time, right after I corrected the list of 3 and voted EFHW. He gave a reason that glooble was towny aside from not being on that list, which is something I said he hadn't done later after his "that's why I wasn't on glooble" post that I thought was the lie. (Aside from the incredibly obvious "he flipped town," that case wasn't anywhere nearly as solid as several people acted like. So the people who went along with it without much feedback or independent thought get several scum points, while the people who said it wasn't that great get townpoints.

And I find it hilarious that Glooble argues hard against the idea that scum would be on his wagon and then his scumreads are basically everyone on the Glooble wagon.

You're willfully misunderstanding me. A case can look good if you just read it and then fall apart if you actually look at the context. Which is exactly what your case does. It's a good scum play if you're a player with a reputation for making good wagon-based cases, like faust is, because you can bank on people trusting you and being too lazy to check your work.

The main reason I'm finding EFHW townie is she *is* checking faust's work. She's analyzing other people's cases, supporting them with her own evidence, and making her own decisions.

Eevee is just a gut read.

Ok, again, this is for the rest of the town to consider when I'm dead.

I keep trying to summarize faust's case and faust keeps saying I'm strawmanning. So, one of three things is happening here:

1. I'm just not smart anough to understand what faust is saying
2. what faust is saying doesn't actually make sense
3. I'm scum trying to manipulate you

When I flip town, that will eliminate option 3. Hopefully, when faced with option 1 and option 2, you'll do the right thing and exile faust.

Call it OMGUS if you want, but I don't buy town!faust doubling down on this ridiculous non-case. He's smarter than that. So the scum!faust narrative is the only one that works for me. The chairs wagon is stalled out anyway.
