It doesn't add up if you posit us both as scum, either. Does it make sense that a scum-pair would do that?
this could be WIFOM where you say, why would I do that as scum? Idk

If you're going to try and get me lynched as scum, you're going to have to come up with some explanation as to why my behavior is the kind of behavior scum would engage in.

Tunneling on a scum read is scummy. Tunneling on a confirmed scum is different. Mikal is not confirmed scum
WHAT?! Lolokay. BTW no one is ever confirmed scum until the mod reveals their affiliation which only really happens AFTER you lynch them.

YOU said many things change in a year. Now you're saying things can't change in a year. (Also you said things may or may not change in a year). Which is it. Can you preface each post with the specific mutually exclusive position you're artbirarily picking for that point in time? It'll make things easier.
Because I have played mafia this year. You haven't

??

Speed's game?
Oh you mean the game where the mod invented a rule just to spite me and I asked to be replaced? That game?

I don't even know Elminster well enough to have an opinion on his playstyle or personality.

The only thing that sticks out was his behavior last game.

The interaction part is where I see the most red flags. Why is Pie pointing out something drafterman said a year ago and looking at him to test his reaction? How does he know what drafterman is thinking at the time this is going. What would be the motive for Pie to focus in on something from a year ago just to ask for Drafter's opinion on something. To me, it doesn't add up in anyway. The only reason that post would've been brought up if drafter told Pie about the post, which leads me to believe they have some form of communication with each other. Drafter even says it wasn't recently where he said Miller claims. Why would Pie remember this info at all? These don't add in anyway
It doesn't add up if you posit us both as scum, either. Does it make sense that a scum-pair would do that?

Tunneling on one person when there's no concrete evidence of whether or not he's scum is extremely rash and reactionary versus him last game, where while he voted Water, he was much more cautious of his vote versus now, where he is voting Elm off of less information. Water had bad plays and sus moves constantly, and it didn't take Drafter til page 6 to vote him, where he didn't even go through with the vote because of Elm. This tunneling where he disregards the case on Pie and only focuses on one character is anti town, and anti town is usually scum. I maintained the position that bad town and anti town are different in various definitions and regards. The fact he is willing to throw Pie in the pile after he did not claim Dp1 in the time he had. He isn't considering any options, versus town drafter, where in the last game, he considered Elm an option as well. Why isn't he doing the same here
It's not anti-town to tunnel on scum and get scum lynched.

I've made a big case about this but drafter left the site in March this year. He then states his belief of Millers are confirmed town because of the site and shouldn't be trusted. Yet  when he left the site and came back, he is now suddenly changing his opinion on claimed Millers, even when they don't claim right away?
YOU said many things change in a year. Now you're saying things can't change in a year. (Also you said things may or may not change in a year). Which is it. Can you preface each post with the specific mutually exclusive position you're artbirarily picking for that point in time? It'll make things easier.

What changed about his behavior since? He didn't participate in any mafia games during this time? He rage quit another mafia game,
No I didn't.

why is he suddenly having this drastic change of heart? To me, his reads are not consistent of his play. Drafter is not someone to change based on a meta or belief or wave, yet he decides to drastically change the style he preached. It's out of character, and would coorelate with drafter forcing a potential mislynch on Elm and then when it's MYLO, he goes an attacks me for being aggressive and gets enough of town validation to get a mislynch since it is the funny trend to hate on Supa and just push the narrative that Supa is an idiot and should be lynched cuz idiots are scummy.
The funny thing is all of this is based ONLY on stuff I've told you about myself. You haven't done any of your own thinking on the subject, it's based on what I've told you, here in this game, about my own past behavior. You haven't independently verified any off it.

All the more amusing because - as I said - the behavior you are alleging I've changed from IS FROM WHEN I WAS SCUM. So you're entire argument is:

"Drafter is scum now because he has drastically changed from his behavior when he was scum in a game a year ago. I know this because he told me this now and I trust what he is telling me now even though I think he's scum."

To a certain extent. You changing your entire logic after a 7 month hiatus makes no sense in anyway. Plus you are someone who sticks to your beliefs and values. Correct? Why all of a sudden are you going back on that? I'm not saying things can't change. I'm saying that you, yourself, as a player, is not someone that adapts to change to a certain extent because of your beliefs.
Then why did you dismiss my position as being too far ago based on the premise that many things change?

You have no proof of that. That's simply a scum read
That's what this game is about.

You can still have a scum read on someone but prefer to lynch someone over another
You can, but there is no point to it.

Yet why do you wanna dismissively accept has claim and not weigh all options and form reads on all players.
I already explained why. You can only lynch one person. Once you have your lynch, you push for it. Additional reads can wait.

This strategy is a double barrel. If the lynch doesn't shift your way with Elm, you're gonna keep your vote on Elm and risk a VTNL, or will you vote Pie?
I already said today ends with Elminsters lynch or a VTNL.

But you are someone that is consistent with your belief and stand by it. You took a big break from mafia and the site. What changed about your play that drastically ever since the game? You only have played 3 games since a hiatus, what has drastically changed your view. It seems like you're using this to gain leverage when you could've easily changed your position
Dude, YOU said "many things change" REFERRING TO ME. So can I change, or can I not change?! WHICH IS IT?!


Either way, it's inconsistent.
Yes, in one of those ways, I'm being inconsistent with a position I stated while in a game a year ago as scum, and in the other way I'm inconsistent with some person that may or may not be me that may or may not have said something about the subject "recently."
So what has changed since your hiatus
I'm in a game where Elminster is definitely scum. That's what is different.

I'm questioning about the way you play the game and determining. You say you buy the claim when he has only posted 3 or 4 posts and then believe it when Pie could've claimed it in DP1 first thing first. Yet you said you believed it. I don't know how you are putting Pie in your town pile
Because there are bigger fish to fry (Elminster). We can only lynch one person a day. So once you have scum, you get them lynched. Leave other scum for the next day. I am not one of these people that thinks they need to definitely, with 100% DNA evidence conclusively find all scum within 5 minutes of the game starting. If you have scum, you go for them. I put Pie in my Town pile with a dismissive acceptance of his claim because it doesn't matter right now. Elminster matters right now because he is definitely scum.

Tell you what, convince Lunatic to allow us to have two lynches today and I'll find you two scum to lynch. Such as it is, we can only lynch one, so finding more than one person to lynch is superfluous.

I could spin him as maybe Town, put in as a possible weak claim. But Supa describing him as "kindler" throws me off. There is nothing about him being particularly kind. What will clinch it for me is the quote.

I didn't  feel strongly enough on any reads to take the risk based on the MYLO/LYLO situation (at least I didn't then -- I'm about to make a case against Supa).
The MYLO/LYLO situation favors taking a risk on a lynch as opposed to NLing.

I think if Elminster promised to play to his win con but then flaked out the second a slight disagreement came up, he's prob faking, and I'd def lynch him if he refused to claim. But at the same time if we're close to losing per 1 mislynch I'd prefer to play cautious. Regardless I never committed to No Lynching so no need to nitpick for no reason. 
We aren't close to losing as a result of 1 mislynch.

Back to Supa. I didn't want to look into characters too much (in fact I didn't even read the dead character flips) JUST IN CASE I ever wanna read the book which I doubt but you never know. However I couldn't help but look up Supa's character which is a fucking bad guy lol. Whitney Horgan is a villain, and apparently he only wants to desert the other bad guys because shit has already gone bad. That's literally what Reddit says and notes it's not an admirable reason to desert his fellow bad guys. So although I hate to go by theme analysis alone I really think Supa might be lone wolf scum or scum of some kind. Ya'll are more than welcome to look up his character.

Note I'm not going based on theme analysis alone here but also behavior. He's playing a bit more aggressive like he does as scum. Look at post #191 where he seems to think I was calling him inactive this day phase (I wasn't; I said I didn't buy his reason for allegedly being active today 12/8). I mean I'm not entirely sure how to read claiming vanilla with only 2 votes and could see an argument either way, but coupled with his seemingly defensive behavior and that super sus character claim I feel very wary of him.
I hadn't got around to actually checking his claim. This is a fair point:

VTL Supa

Well you said it,
Yes, but you're saying that it was a year ago so that doesn't count anymore because, as YOU said, "many things can change." So can many things change or can't they?

and I recall someone saying it recently too and I'm like 85% sure it was you.
No, Lunatic's game was the last game I opined on the subject.

Either way, it's inconsistent.
Yes, in one of those ways, I'm being inconsistent with a position I stated while in a game a year ago as scum, and in the other way I'm inconsistent with some person that may or may not be me that may or may not have said something about the subject "recently."

There also wasn't enough evidence with Pie to suggest you buying him as town.
Please outline the objective criteria for buying someone as town in this game.

Even so, it's a sharp contrast from that game,
Yes it is. But either it matters, in which case you need to factor in the fact that I was scum when I said that, or it doesn't matter, in which case it doesn't matter.

you might be bringing it up so you can use that to fuel your story about it. I don't doubt that you're smart person, and you could be playing this card as scum to try to convince me otherwise
Imagine if you put this much effort into reasoning Elminster as scum.

@Danielle
No. I said I'm leaning toward a No Lynch, not that I'm definitely voting No Lynch. That's why I said I'm not rushing the day phase. And I said "the rage seems a lil fake" but that doesn't necessarily mean he is scum. I do happen to have him more in my lean scum pile based on what little behavioral reads we have to go on.  Now that we have Supa's claim I'll think about whether I want to pressure Elminster for a claim. 
When I say you'd "prefer a No lynch" I mean "you are leaning toward a No lynch." I believe that if you have even the faintest whiff of scum read on someone, then that takes precedence over not lynching anyone.

That is to say, if you lean scum on someone, then you shouldn't be leaning toward a no lynch, you should be leaning toward lynching the person you lean scum on.

Re: Mikal, I agree with drafter that the rage seems a lil fake cuz he did it again for no reason, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mikal and drafter were working together (who knows!) creating fake tension.
So either I'm Town and I'm right (and Mikal is scum) or we're both scum (and Mikal is scum).

So you've concluded that Mikal is scum either way. Yet you'd prefer a No Lynch?

Your reading him off the fact he is checking in the game for a break. This is a bullshit reason to scum read someone.
Magically being active exactly at the right time to defend yourself strains credulity.


Why did you put Pie in town pile

Because you can only lynch one person a day. Today is not Pie's day.
Your reason for Elm has been

"Anyway Elminster won't rage this time, not because he promise, but because he's actually scum and he'll get reamed by his team mates if he throws again with the lead they've developed.

Eli is scum if only for this half assed attempt to rile me up for no reason. This fake indignation screams scum.

He didn't try to rile me up last game when he was town. He just caved and imploded. His behavior here is different."
Ah, I see. You don't know what "Mafia Theory" means then. The above is supplementary stuff after I decided he was scum.

Yes. That's how raids work. You get breaks in between fights
That's how it is... normally. We all have real life, then play the game when we have breaks. If a raid is no different then there is no reason to call it out unless it is going to prevent you from playing. It clearly isn't preventing him from playing when it is convenient.

Furthermore, why are you making his case for him?

No, your premise is off your philosophy 
No it isn't.

This makes no sense. You said he wants to bait a reaction from you, and when you give a contrary opinion from what you state, I shouldn't take it as scum. All you are doing is tunneling Elm off a theory argument that does nothing for the DP to force a lynch

My vote on Elm has nothing to do with mafia theory.

Meow meow

1. His ignorance to things such as Mikal going to a raid
He's on a raid and can't be here... except to defend himself by saying he's on a raid and can't be here.

2. His contrasting view where he says "Miller shouldn't be an instant town" when he did the same thing with Pie
3. Blind voting Mikal for no reason and without giving valid justification
I've given justification, you just don't read.

4. His interaction with Pie felt scummy asf

He is either throwing or is scum
2 & 4 contradict each other. #2 is what PIE was trying to tease out of me. Your decision to FOS me for my alleged contradictory positions on millers is exactly what Pie was probing to see if was warranted. That makes Pie TOWN. I saw what he was getting at IMMEDIATELY, but I'm not going to make a big fuss about millers right now because we have scum to fry.

You wouldn't have a case for #2 without me having laid it out for you in the first place.

Because I've been vocal about blindly accepting miller claims in the past, to the point of complaining that this acceptance has taken a role that is suppose to be negative utility and has turned it into a free confirmed townie.

He is evaluating my response here against that baseline to see if my behavior here indicates I'm scum.
