Regarding your mod philosophy, are you opposed to giving all mafia members safe claims?

Also, time check?

@Discipulus_Didicit
One of his fluff posts was a mention-in-passing about the Greek elections, something you and Supa put a lot more time into talking about than he did, and a good number of his early game related posts were were ring theme analysis, something I wouldn't expect you to find suspicious given your stance on theme analysis.
I went through an coded Oro's posts as either fluff or non-fluff.

Fluff posts: 10, 13, 15, 19, 23, 38, 43, 46, 54, 60, 69, 80, 83, 84, 90, 98, 148, 156, 169, 174, 212, 214, 217, 236, 237 (total: 25)
Non-fluff: 11, 16, 22, 26, 27, 37, 51, 55, 58, 65, 82, 85, 106, 107, 138, 139, 147, 154, 175, 211, 220, 238 (total: 22)

But, let's break down the "non-fluff" category still further, because there are different kinds of non-fluff posts. Not all "non-fluff" posts are actually helpful.

Scumhunting - Total: 7
  1. Play Analysis: 82, 106
  2. Reads: 147, 175^, 238^
  3. Pressure: 37, 154^
Not Scumhunting - Total: 15
  1. On Inactives: 65, 85, 107, 138*
  2. On Roles: 11, 55
  3. On Theme: 22, 26, 27, 51, 58, 138*, 139
  4. Other: 211, 220
  5. RVS: 16
The combined total of fluff and non-scumhunting posts is 40 out of 47, or 85% of Oro's total. So, while Oro has been considerably active, he has spent the vast majority of his time making fluff posts, talking about pressuring inactives, and posting his thoughts on the theme. Even some of his ostensibly scumhunting posts (^) lack any demonstrable analysis from Oro, but are just sort of vague comments that don't really add anything to the discussion; instead, they mostly bandwagon.

While I don't have an issue with theme analysis, I don't think Oro's gone about it in a particularly townie way. The primary goal of theme analysis is to identify patterns in order to test claims against those patterns in the hopes of catching scum in a lie. Oro hasn't done that though--his theme analysis hasn't been directed, as far as I can tell, towards catching scum. It's all been sort of trying to understand the world, which is helpful to some extent, but Oro's dwelt on it more than I find acceptable.

So, Oro is the least scummy people of those I named, IMO. But he is on my radar, because I am not finding his posts to be geared towards unearthing scum.

I appreciate the answer, and it underscores my point.

But, mod to mod, I would have "no comment"ed that, if I were in your shoes.

Not really. There’s a plurality of ways you could interpret my statement.

I'm tempted to vote BSH1 for picking a semantic fight with Pie and then losing.

This has me laughing a lot more than it should.

So if bsh had picked a semantic fight and won that would be okay? XD

doesn't that imply that you don't really think bsh1 is scum? After all, if we lynch bsh1 and he turns scum our prospect ought to be much improved.  But you already don't think so.....perhaps because you already know who is scum and who not?

If you don't think bsh is scum (same boat tomorrow), why are you vtl'ing?

I suppose I don't feel so convinced that we can't nolynch or lynch the scum and/or absent club instead.  & we might get lucky in the night.  Why so pessy, mystic?

I do not give every mafia a safe claim.
I think, unless you're engaging in some kind of semantic contortions, there are only two ways to read that statement, not a plurality. If you meant your answer to be deliberately deceptive then you should not have given it at all, and that would be egregiously terrible modding. The two possible readings are (a) not every mafia member gets a fake claim or (b) not every mafia team gets a fake claim. The former confirms my earlier statement. The latter does as well, since we are talking about whole teams getting or not getting "a" (singular) fake claim. If these readings are not correct, it is incumbent on you to clarify your statement. If you choose to wade into the game as you did, you need to be straightforward with the players.

Getting off a mislynch wagon is not scummy, particularly so close to the end of the DP. If anything, this adds to Grey's towncred. Grey already role-claimed, which means he should be in your "don't lynch rn" pile.

But, if you think it's scummy that his vote isn't on the bsh lynchwagon, why isn't your vote on that wagon? Why, instead, are you pushing a lynch on an obvious townie when there is no time left in the DP to get a new lynchwagon rolling?

Your vote makes no sense.
