WW26: The Masquerade [Game Thread]

[Muriel The Slow]

back to muriel who keeps finding new ways to attract my scumdar

This isn't Day 1. If you say you've found new arguments against my innocence, please share them. Joke votes on Day 2 are a waste of space.

I had pretty much decided that anyone going after Scarlet John today was going to get a scum lean from me. His posts have been sparse but good. I have not gotten and scum vibes from him. I do not think he was really under pressure today. He came out on his own to say he may or may not really have time to play fully. But this is RB where not being able to play fully means not being able to read and post 10 hours a day. I mean thats truly the extent of what we demand from active people in an RB WW game. It makes them special it also makes them frustrating, especially when everyone else puts in effort and then is on your case. But I thought Scarlet John handled it pretty well. He said okay maybe he shouldn't have signed up. He willing to set up a modkill if necessary. And he's willing to play on. He already posted a couple of very good posts today outlining suspicions he has. He's not at the level of the policy lynch in any format and anyone pushing to policy lynch him based on that just wants to make sure the village wastes a lynch.

If he's scum and he's still hanging around in 2 days and seems scummy lets addres it then. Honestly I'm not getting any scum vibes from him. I don't see him suspicious at all.

John you said you don't have the time or the energy or the will to play this game. You gave up. You heavily implied that you are a villager and basically just gave us a big fuck you in the form of "I ain't gonna do shit, deal with it". Giving up is the perfect cover: You don't have to make posts, you don't have to create content, you don't have to make sense. You even managed to make it so that you don't have to vote, by making non-voting your go-to mod-kill option and subsequently pushing it back as far as Day 4. But we didn't let you off the hook so easily, and now here you are, making a big post throwing around accusations. I thought you didn't have the time or the energy for that? Not only that, but this is horrible villager play; First, you announce that you gave up, which means wolves will never lynch you which would have been the best way to go if you are a villager who can't play anymore. Trying to make the villagers lynch you and being a martyr is nothing but super lazy villager play especially when it won't even help us catch a wolf. Then finally you come back and start making arguments even though you just admitted you don't have the time or the energy, but somehow you are suddenly reinvigorated and can participate like anyone else?

He didn't say he wasn't going to do shit. He actually did shit today. More shit than you did in all your posts today. You're the one pontificating and doing jack shit.

Scarlet John because we have to, no matter what alignment you really are.

Oh yes! We have to lynch him! Who cares if he's a villager! We don't know when he'll stop contributing! Who cares if he just posted coherent and thoughtful posts! He could flake out on us at anytime, so we have to lynch him NOW!



Your rehash of the Mary suspicious at first glance appears valid, but then you say she's never answered why she switched from me to you, but you seem to ignore the posts leading through and after the switch. People change their minds in WW. Is that a hard concept for you to understand Muriel? I know you're slow. It'll be okay.

Still nothing from Short Richard yet.

Scarlet John because we have to, no matter what alignment you really are.

This is really pushing it. Do you really think so?

Bert, your case looks ok to me at first glance.

I know it's pushing it. It's a policy lynch. That's what they are all about. Vote off someone because you have to. If it changes anyone's minds, I think there's a small chance that it's all a wolf plot because he didn't get himself mod-killed and seemingly tried to take his words back with his new big post. But to me it's a policy lynch which has nothing to do with proof of alignment. It has to be done. It's the right decision. If he's a villager, he doomed us, but at least I don't have to blame myself for the loss, which would be the case if it was a wolf plot and we gave him a free pass to end game.

The highlighted bit is the worst. You have a choice. But you are making it seem like we have NO choice. Your hands are tied. You wash the blood. Pontius Pilate reincarnated!

on reread of will posts, and posts voting will today, (not whole thread tho) i dont understand case on will either.

You have read Will's post and don't find them contentless and odd? You don't find his "I'm watching Jon and Rob closely" without any mention about the why scummy? So far he said nothing about the findings of his close watching. You don't find the fact that he has just 3 posts with some content and the rest of his post are just jokes and chatter odd.

To add:

damn, I thought I was breaking a tie.

well I hope you guys are right.

doesn't ping your scumdar? Really?

Sir Percival I can understand (although I would disagree) if you say you find Muriel scummier and prefer her getting lynched but your declaration of Will is innocent makes me wonder on which side you are on.

I really hope you are not a villager. There is no reason at all for a villager to refuse to contribute.

We have two people working directly and openly against the village: John and Percival.

Wow this is a lie. Its just a straight up lie. Percival has been making his thoughts known he has attempted to look around at other targets today besides you. He thinks you are even scummier today. Guess what? I DO TOO! He is actively hunting you which is why you are trying to slam him. And john isn't directly and openly against the village. My God it hurts my head. He IS actively contributing. You are slandering and lying.

Percival refuses to give the reason for his vote. A villager would have nothing against explaining reasons behind his votes. A wolf would prefer not, because the more they explain their reasons, the higher chance there is that they slip up.

John is refusing to mod-kill himself, and instead forcing the village to waste a lynch to get rid of him.

[Bert The Bard]

I have to side with Rob on Scarlet John.
Sir Percival, while I can guess from context what the new scumtells on Muriel are, it wouldn't hurt to state them.
I have some followup questions on Muriel's case against Simple Mary but I would like Simple Mary to comment first.

[Rob The Filch]

Village do not equate massive posts and large numbers of posts with innocence! Do not mistake all shorter, consice and succinct posters for scum. Do not be brainwashed sheep.

I can't stand it anymore. I wanted to wait until later in the day to start the wagon on you Muriel the Slow, but I can't stand your BS anymore. All game from the first post you've been writing long flowery language that goes on forever and is nauseating. You start reading it and you forget what the point was, but then you realize there is no point because its all empty fluff. There is little to no content there's nothing. Theres defensive fallbacks and offensive mudslinging. There's the vote for Friar Andrew to save yourself that you tucked in when it tepped the scales. a vote you made WITHOUT A WORD BEYOND HIS NAME. You? No explanation? No sorry but I have to do this? No it was done slyly and trying not to draw attention to itself. You act like a peacock and when its time to stick the dagger in the back you run silent.

You probably won't be lynched today because most of the villagers are spell bound, but by God I hope they wake up.
