For the record since you all seem intent on misrepresenting my view. I don't think he's scum because he's an alt. I don't think he should be lynched because he won't tell us about his mafia experience. I think he should come clean and be honest about his experience instead of actively and openly deceiving the town.
No one has yet to provide any argument as to why we should just let somebody openly and unabashedly lie to the town so that they can get free noob passes.

Drafter is okay with irontoaster lurking and wants to lynch our only protective role lol. He's so scum.
You want to lynch an inactive over scum. And I want to pressure Singularity to come clean and for you to stop giving him a noob pass.

Okay, so we only have 5 people actually willing to vote anything. And at least 2 of those are scum. Jesus.

So because he is playing on an alt he is automatically scum...
That is not what I said, no.
My issue is he is lying about his mafia skill to avoid scrutiny. That is scummy. It's more scummy that you're just willing to give him that pass. So I think it says more about your own affiliation than his, but I still want him to come clean.
He's claimed watcher. If he has an incriminating watcher report, that requires us to trust him. I don't trust him because he is openly and unabashedly deceiving town.
Cool. Despite being the only claimed protective role and having a strong character claim, I suppose you will try and lynch him. Good luck then.
We don't know how the characters cut thematically, so there are not "strong" character claims. He he claimed JOAT, which is typically more scum sided.

And I have to reiterate, that this isn't a suspicion. I know for a fact that he is an experienced mafia player and people need to pressure him more for his lying and force him to come clean.

Because his mafia experience has nothing to do with his identity. He can be a new person on this site with mafia experience.
There is no benefit to his anonymity to lying about his Mafia experience, it only presents an in game advantage.
And that advantage disproportionately benefits a scum player (because other players like yourself are willing to overlook his actions) than a town player (who'd want the benefit of experience in convincing other people to make appropriate lynches).

But you're still willing to give him a noob pass and not scrutinize his actions as an experienced player. You're just going to give him free reign.

@Lunatic
He hasn't said anything scummy because he hasn't fucking posted lol.
So undecided is a higher priority than scum?
Last day phase when I was undecided if we was new or not.
12/27 @ 6:02PM, I called Singularity out:
12/29 @ 2:47PM, you said that you "see it too":
12/29 @ 10:14PM, you are giving him a noob pass:
So you noticed and replied to me calling him out, agreeing with it, then all of a sudden go back to being undecided? That doesn't make sense.
Where?
Here ("I've never played before") https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/3448/south-park-mafia-dp1?page=2&post_number=40
He's played before, many times.
Here ("Strategy I am 100% ignorant of") https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/3448/south-park-mafia-dp1?page=2&post_number=43
He is well versed on strategy.

To me it makes more sense that you are Singularity are scum partners and you are conveniently ignoring the issue of him lying about his experience than it does that you are Town willing to ignore it - despite the fact that you acknowledged it earlier.

@Lunatic
He's literally made like one or two posts and one of them I remember was fluff. I don't want another lazy person gloating in the endgame about how they were allowed to lurk.
He's not even on your scum list, but I am. Yet you want to lynch him over me. That isn't consistent.
Hes claimed a power role, it's not a noob pass. Also butters isn't a particularly scummy claim as I mentioned earlier.
You've literally given him a noob pass. You said, verbatim: "I guess you are new so I won't be too harsh on this"
This isn't about his identity. I don't give two shits about his identity. It's him lying about his mafia experience so that he can avoid proper scrutiny of his actions.
Nothing you are doing is making sense from a Town perspective.

@Lunatic
And why lynch over other pressing issues? Normally you aren't one to go straight for a lynch. You want to squeeze any and all possible information out of the day.
Why aren't you concerned about Singularity's overt deception? Why are you intent on giving him a noob pass?

@oromagi
Did you miss the refocus on”horny swamp” because I’m pretty sure everyone else got Randy Marsh out of that?
And people incorrectly got "Kenny" out of your first bread crumb which is why breadcrumbs are useless. Are you hard claiming Randy Marsh?
It is definitely atypical play for drafter to fail to interrogate and simply demand mass claims when town has already blown its cover. Drafter is sinking deep in my reads
Except you deliberately base you reads on things you know have nothing to do with affiliation.

Also, I'm not getting lynched today either.
Based off my priority list from last phase:
1. Get an actual claim out of oro. Not just let him post nonsense and assume what his claim is.2. Force Singularity to come clean about their mafia knowledge and experience.3. Ignore Bullish until they stop posting nonsense logic.
VTL oromagi
The breadcrumbing nonsense doesn't work. Case in point is Lunatic's reading of it that you were Kenny. If you had died and was janitored, you wouldn't be around to dispute that claim.
You were selected to make a character claim, you owe us an actual, real, character claim.

After being in the long night phase and having time to reflect on his statements more, I find I buy most of his response to bullish in post #297. There was one part however, that did strike me as scummy. Bullish is calling drafterman out for having claimed vanilla without nearly any pressure, and drafterman admits he does this only because he thought it was the status quo, and even brings up how this behavior is harmful and was harmful for the town in Dark Crystal. It isn’t the status qou though, and people who claim without pressure do so of their own volition and rarely explain why they do it. PressF for example never explained why he claimed cop in Office mafia DP1, but it was generally assumed it was to bait mafia night actions, and he actually lived a while because of it (I am assuming GP is doing this for similar reasons if town). That said, this excuse of “I am doing it because everyone else is doing it” excuse is the scummiest thing drafter has done or said all game, and turned a weak scum read into a stronger one. I never known drafter to be the one to submit to an imaginary policy of auto claiming vanillas, when there hasn’t even been any public discussion in support of it. In fact this answer seems scummier to me than if he would have just said something dumb like “I claimed because I thought I would get pressured later, and my claim would have minimal impact on the game”. The fact that he goes above and beyond and over-explains himself about and even brings up a very recent example where he was against this behavior. seems like he is worried that it is a piece of logic that can hurt him.
Except is the status quo. We're in a game were, in DP1, unprompted, the doctor/watcher, cop, and dreamer all claimed. Yeah, in the old meta this was extremely frowned upon, but I think maybe we need to reevaluate how harmful it actually is. Going back to Office, the cop claimed DP1 and mafia just... let him live, yet went on to win the game.
Quickfires are an entirely different beast and shouldn't factor in here.
In general, I think history has shown that the argument of "He acted X in the past but is acting Y now" isn't a good scum marker. It failed in Office. It failed in JARGOM. People's behavior is fluid.
After noticing that, I picked up on other things. I was absent the last hours of that DP, however, notice drafter finally get’s on and defends himself pretty strongly. That is expected, given he was was at L-3 or so. But he starts making assumptions about why people are lynching him, rather than read their actual reasons.“ Lunatic is too smart to seriously believe anything Bullish is cooking. I mean, Lunatic has bought into some shaky theories before as Town, but this really takes the cake.”Uh, did he miss the whole part of me telling Bullish exactly that I didn’t buy what he was cooking? I voted him because he was opting for a no lynch, which seemed out of character for him, and he was also the likeliest lynch and I did want to see the DP end in a lynch so we can get information distincting mafia VS town on the theme. Nowhere did I say I was buying into what he was cooking, unless you consider “I may be able to bite” a concession to me agreeing that bullish’s logic was sound (which I don’t think it was).
Then let me rephrase. The Bullish' logic is so bizarre and twisted that any person reading it should question his affiliation (if not sanity) and would be extremely wary of jumping on the same wagon.
“Also, I'd like people to take notice that Lunatic and Singularity have been online recently, but have no more thoughts to add to the matter. Bullish is basically forced to double down on this nonsense, but Lunatic and Singularity are just passively letting this lynch happen.”This is a pretty horrible argument, I am not a lurker as scum and never have been. If my profile indicated I was online during this time, it was maybe quickly checking my debate’s voting status with virt while taking a sleepy morning piss, before returning back to bed. If I am actually on and paying attention to a game, I would be responding to that type of crap (notice I wasn’t pinged once asking me to re-evaluate my vote or anything. It’s like he’s sliding that in there to make me and singularity look bad in the case he didn’t get lynched).So atm I am still pretty much scum leaning drafter, and the read has gotten much stronger.
Okay, that was a bit of a stretch, but when you head is going into the noose, you pull out all the stops.

@Singularity
Not sure how me trying to keep people from narrowing down my identity by claiming to be new, makes me scum. Anyway, the choice today is obvious
The scummy behavior is you exploiting the latitude given noobs regarding behavior. Case in point:
@Lunatic:
I guess you are new so I won't be too harsh on this
The fact is, however, you aren't new, so Lunatic should be harsh on this. But you are going around lying about your experience and now people are writing off your moves as those of a new player who doesn't understand the game rather than the calculated moves of an experienced player.
If you have any sense of integrity, you will come clean about your experience.

Drafterman- As I have said before, I am pretty unconvinced by Bullish’s case on drafter, and find it a bit tunnel visioned. I was on board with it because I did want a lynch for information, and I was slightly suspicious that drafter was opting for a no lynch given another very intense argument I have had with drafter in the past regarding no lynching vs lynching DP1, where he was on team lynching. While my stance on that has changed, I suppose maybe his can too, but I bring it up only because in the past few mafia games and quickfires I’ve played in, I don’t remember him advocating a no lynch, which seems a bit fishy that he does when his lynch seemed likliest nearing the end of DP1.
I don't think expressing a preference means I never ever, under any circumstances, choose the alternative option unless I am scum. I choose whatever I think is the best option given the circumstances at the time. After all, a no lynch is what ended up happening anyway.

Majority =/= plurality.
Majority means a person needs a majority number of votes to be lynched (e.g. 7); plurality means that the person with the most votes is lynched, even if they do not have a majority.
