faust is arguing in a way that seems surprisingly genuine and charitable, especially for him. Like he’s really trying in good faith to get past an argument he finds unproductive.

Jimmmmm is trying to have the meta-argument while also gently implying faust is scum wherever possible. The vote was just a little over the top. Thinly veiled OMGUS.

You guys are all wrong. That exchange was extremely enlightening. Faust is town and Jimmmmm is scum.

Vote: Jimmmmm

Lol.

Vote: joth

Vote: e cause you're partners.

Oh also if I was scum I would be more accepting of MiX and his townread on me.

the fact that you know your meta makes all those things NAI
Oh look you conveniently ignored my other post which contains stuff that is not meta-based!

I also think "you know meta so none of this is worth anything" takes are a bit simplistic. My town meta is to get killed early or get exiled later on; doesn't mean it makes sense for scum!me to replicate that. Scum can focus all their energy on following their town meta and probably do a pretty good job at it; but that is not how scum wins. They need to do something different because they need to push for town exiles, protect their partners etc. Otherwise they just fly under the radar, letting town do their thing, until they are PoE'd and lose.

OMGUS strikes me as a lazy argument. I have no reason to care that faust is voting for me; his vote doesn't mean anything until the Day ends or he decides to start playing the game. I would have preferred to avoid the meta argument entirely, but sadly there's nothing else to talk about when it comes to faust's game.

OMGUS is (almost) never a tactical decision. It's a way of expressing frustration. Granted, town can also get frustrated with town (or scum) but that usually happens when someone is being annoying or intransigent and I just don't see faust doing that. He's making good, cogent points in response to your criticism of caseless voting. So your frustration, expressed through an OMGUS vote, reads to me as scummy frustration at not being able to make progress dissolving a day one wagon on you.

Okay faust, what are the reasons we should believe you're Town?
Well, I have done townie things. I think I am more contrarian when I am town, and thus often attract more votes as town than I do as scum, and I think you can see that in my play.

The three players I have voted for (joth, iguana, Jimmmmm) have all since ended up on the EFHW wagon, so unless you think that is completely town-driven, I have already voted for scum. If you do think that the EFHW wagon is completely town-driven, then it is probably beneficial to join that wagon rather than start a new one on me.

Ugh. You aren’t supposed to know this about yourself.

I do want to call out a fallacy here, possibly a scummy one, which is that town-driven wagon =/= wagon on scum. If Jimmmmm thinks that the EFHW wagon is a misguided, but town-driven, wagon, then it's not the case that it's beneficial to join it and also not the case that faust has voted for scum. faust has tried to create a dichotomy here but has intentionally excluded an option to make that dichotomy seem to exonerate him. So, some scumpoints for faust.

I guess? Though if anyone feels this way about the EFHW wagon then I think that person should tell us that and explain why they feel that way. If you feel so strongly about a wagon that you are willing to go against a bunch of your townreads then you have some insight that is worth sharing. That hasn't happened, so I think it's safe to assume that noone believes it.

I don't think you can say this any more in good faith. faust has divulged quite a bit. He shared his opinion on the EFHW wagon, gave more of a read on MiX, etc. He's playing less one dimensionally than you are giving him credit for in your argument.

Given you're voting faust, isn't this argument basically "The fact that you look like your town self means you're scum?" I get that someone can look town and be scum but if faust looks like town faust shouldn't we wait until scum!faust appears? I realize this is rich coming from someone who failed to do that recently but still.
