ya but he's more prone to it than most. he can dig himself into a hole by standing his ground due to the way he perceives things playing out not exactly playing out what it's like in reality.

such as him attributing your push to bpd's one line or questioning if it's possible you two are working in a tandem effort against him.

overall i do see the divergence from his current play and defense compared to last game, but it might be related to other things.

what do you think of bpd?

Why do you think I’m going to great pains to make him clarify what exactly his defense and points are?

By default I’m slightly positive about BPD as I doubt he’d be aligned with Aurelian

What ‘other things’?
 
Do you have anything to add besides being a worthless cheerleading commentator?


No, he has no case. Grammaton's entire pivot to me was based around BPD, therefore BPD is contingent to this. He hasn't acknowledge or refuted that X's post was worthless for quite awhile now, which is telling he really doesn't have much to go here on.

This is so unspeakably atrocious. @Magic pls defend this
 
This should be fun. In order:

- I think the person who can’t decide if he thinks someone who is said is scum is actually scum or misguided town (you, for the avoidance of doubt) has a significantly greater ‘don’t believe what they’re saying problem than the person who presented a case, gave you a chance to respond and then decided you’re full of shit
Weak.

Not only do you try to force someone in the position here, such as myself, to give an absolute polarizing answer that will damn them if they do or damn them if they don't, you are misconstruing my statement that I believe BPD to be misguided and not necessarily scummy and reiterated on that multiple times. But then you still want to paint this as "scum" when there's no real tangible behavior to settle that claim for it.
- 2nd paragraph is dismissible. Already confirmed what BPD said is immaterial, it’s how you chose to rebut it. Dunno how many times I need to repeat this.
You saying it doesn't actually disprove it. People and players in this game have this ability called "lying" about their motives or arguments. I am not going to operate accepting what your saying at face value when you have a track record of misrepresenting and using strawman with my words.
- There’s nothing for me to defend here tho. Im asking you to explain what exactly I’m supposed to be waiting for, you’re saying im not exercising any caution, why exactly do I need to? It’s your point, explain it
You don't have an argument.
You don't have a case.
I asked you why you immediately followed on BPD's weak accusation that I was "copying" my entrance from the last game in day 1 with a vote on me. Where is your caution? Where is the deliberation on things playing out before going at my jugular? And how again does that paint me as being scum?
- if we were scum together, co-ordinating an attack on town from the off doesn’t seem like a good plan
Pretty easy if you were scum to use him like that, no?
, and whilst it’s self meta and thus somewhat dismissible, you’ll struggle to find anyone who’s played with me as scum who thinks im likely to do this, simply because it offers no benefit and a lot of potential drawbacks
I'm not going to go with your claim about this and trust it.
- Well, we’ll see won’t we? Better hope you’re sitting on the goods!
K.
- I think this game has all the hallmarks of your typical scum game - caught early, no substantive answers, more worried about perception (you’re worried about looking like suspecting me would be OMGUS, which is scum mentality cause if you’re town, you’d just think you’d caught an overextending scum). Need I go on?
I think, wait no I don't, I know, you are full of shit here. Substantive answer to what? The tangent is about you following behind BPD accusing me of being "suspicious" and me giving a one-liner back to him? So therefore, you were expecting a long winded answer and would've jumped on me anyway for being "too defensive" about defending myself with a more in depth response?

You are categorically full of shit.

i've never seen that approach actually yield anything though. in traitors mafia ekko/ultra drilled into him in regards to his read randomly pivoting without any real reason to it. he couldn't answer or explain the pivot and just kept repeating it while saying they're making it up.

it's not that i disagree with what youre presenting. it's the confidence seems incredibly high due to the margin of error that is present.

he's not going to budge and there's no reason to keep going at it. nothing will convince him otherwise. better off seeing other people's reactions!

What? There isn’t a margin of error, this guy is the easiest day 1 catch in history, he’s incapable of escaping his own gravity. He’s just posted 2 autobiographies about how I’m full of shit (not wrong, full of shit) but he’s scared to vote me cause it’ll look like OMGUS

?????????????

- asked you for evidence of behavior from me that is scummy: you provided zero
- asked you to explain why you are breaking your normal behavior/routines to immediately follow on BPD to go after me: a player who you normally acknowledge is being a wildly unsuccessful tunneler when it comes to reading players as scummy vs towny; you did not respond
- you can't provide and continue to attack me for things I never said

Where is the OMGUS here on my end?

my issue with his play is similar to your original point in how he dismissed bpd's vote on him. as i've checked all the recent games and it isn't how he reacts to pressure initially.

in terms of margin of error, again im referring to his posts/thoughts/etc being straight forward and traceable. they won't be and it won't help you reach any sort of conclusion on him. i've seen poyser go at lengths about this stuff and how it doesn't track so i don't think that really helps add anything to your case.

the point about OMGUS also stands out well. that said, he was calling me shit in fairy tail mafia but iirc he was calling me shit scum. im looking at that one right now.

my overall point is i want to see how others react rather have your gigantic back and forth with him. go ahead and convince them after but there's much more benefit to see what others think of the exchange than just continuously hammering it home.
 
page 5/7 (stopped at post 150)

town
gram - strongest town read. thoughts on aurelian and sworder matched mine as im catching up
melkor - attempts to solve magic and gram early seems townie melkor. scum melkor would drop a line that says "they are giving me power wolf vibes" and call it a day

lean town
magic
sworder

town side of null
evans - if hes scum im gna need tpein to bury him here

null
BLD - can see as potential town but what hes discussing with gram RE: sworder seems pointless
CP - telling evans to stop talking about tpein is easy topic. need something else
aurelian
RAEM
psychic
 

this is what i was looking for, but this is after extensive back and forth and him already making out points as to why im scummy. not just starting off with calling me an idiot.
 
So I'm not expected to be able to defend myself when Grammaton says I'm being scummy but refuses to elaborate or explain how I am being scummy, despite the onus and burden of proof being on him. He doesn't provide any receipts but fell back repeatedly on citing me calling BPD's stupid post "retarded" as being the only evidence he needed and doesn't touch on anything else in the game that would highlight my behavior being outside of my "norm". But then reiterates that he isn't using or following BPD's post at me but just happens to come immediately swinging at me following BPD's post who has fucked off from the thread for almost an hour now.

Strange coincidence I'm sure.

Then this:

"BPD has nothing to do with this I just was already prepared to vote you."

You are and were too prepared for BPD's post and its timing to say it isn't suspicious as fuck. A one-liner from him which doesn't base itself around anything other then a mindless reach to another game to angle shoot at me doesn't apparently trip any alarm bells from you when he says that but me dismissing him without bothering to go into depths is what bothered you to target me as being scummy?

You are full of shit, Grammaton.

Again I’ll repeat for … maybe the 4th time?

My vote on you has 0 to do with BPD, other than the fact it was him you were replying to. I will happily keep clarifying this for you every time you post something to the contrary

You literally said you felt I was trying to lure you into an OMGUS trap, do you want me to quote the post for you?
 
Yes, you were caught in 2 separate games off an aggregate of 4 posts, I cannot think of another player comparable. That’s not even meant as like a dig, it’s the facts of what happened
Your doing the same shit and doing the angle shooting thing. No real belief or convinction in calling me scum, only trying to push me for a lynch because you are looking for a weak player to bully. Frankly if you are town, this isn't impressive.

You are full of shit, Grammaton.

let me get to the crux of the issue here so we can stop with the paragraphs.

you're calling him out for being full of shit, but wont call him scummy or move to vote him. you aren't saying he's town and presenting a bad case(you said it might be the case earlier but you didn't reach a conclusion) and you won't call him scummy. you're main focus is just proving his case is false, which is completely self preservation and playing to survive rather playing to hunt.
 
Again I’ll repeat for … maybe the 4th time?
You can repeat it all you want, its falling on deaf ears here.
My vote on you has 0 to do with BPD, other than the fact it was him you were replying to. I will happily keep clarifying this for you every time you post something to the contrary
You can do this ad naseum. You are still full of shit because I have zero belief in your conviction that it isn't case of the opposite.
You literally said you felt I was trying to lure you into an OMGUS trap, do you want me to quote the post for you?
You entirely engineered and premeditated this to prep a mislynch. Every single angle or direction is something you want: if I accuse you, its OMGUS, if I accuse X, its OMGUS, if I don't accuse either of you, its "Fang is scum because he doesn't want to accuse a town player of being scum in case he survives and they flips and gets tunneled on it".

So no, fuck off with this false dichotomy bullshit.

You are full of shit, Grammaton.

Still no vote?

Putting quotation marks around something I neither said nor implied isn’t really smart strategy now is it?

For the 5th time, as you appear to not grasp this:

BPDs post to you was immaterial , it was how you chose to respond to it. I couldn’t have prepared anything because my vote was a reaction to your own reaction. If you don’t believe this and still don’t vote me, I have absolutely no idea what the fuck you’re doing here
 
Your doing the same shit and doing the angle shooting thing. No real belief or convinction in calling me scum, only trying to push me for a lynch because you are looking for a weak player to bully. Frankly if you are town, this isn't impressive.
why would it be impressive in any way unless you're not town lol.

if he's town and you're town it's awful play opposed to "not impressive".

STILL NO VOTE????
