That's uh, very deterministic. I can understand why you could see it casting me in a more scummy light, but I don't see in any way how the connection between the two of us is strong enough to be a if one is scum then so is the other

he would be more than able to sustain a paranoid metanarrative towards me and not treat me differently

I also think that because we have some additional history off the site he knows my playstyle better [...] apparently since I last played Zone's decided to degrade as a player and now opts to behave like a chaotic newbie.
It's because I don't think Zone would be able to sustain a paranoid metanarrative and would treat you differently subconciously, but I could be completely wrong.
@Zone Q11 What actually is your mafia history with Celever? Some of your recent posts suggest that you haven't played with Celever very much at all.
Not quoting it, but it's true that you supported Zone's nomination. I don't see that evidence as too useful unfortunately because there are two nominations -- Vom had to pick a second person and mafian you would safely be able to change your mind if you decided to.
That much is true that if Vom had done this action with Violet, Jade or Gekki in the same way he did it wit mirdo I'd be thinking the same thing, but that doesn't refute why mirdo would be Vom's scumbuddy, it refutes why Vom would be mirdo's. What I mean by that is, if mirdo is scum and Vom is town, then Vom could have chosenly luckily out of the null read players. HOWEVER, if we assume the hypothesis that Vom is scum is correct, then we have to question why mirdo was the nomination, and not Violet, Jade or Gekki. The most logical thing to assume, if mirdo is town, is that he was an easy player to push a lynch onto, but that theory falls flat when you realise Vom never pushed a lynch onto him; he just nominated him without giving much reasoning, while continuing to push Nick as scum, after not using his power to nominate Nick to potentially die. Therefore the theory doesn't work. Writing this out I realise that there is another option: the mirdo nomination is smoke and mirrors because Vom started bussing his scumbuddy Nick too hard and didn't actually want to put him in the firing line. I'm not sure how viable this is as a theory yet, though, because it relies on the idea that Vom went in hard on his scumbud early in the game which seems untenable, especially as Nick has a tradition of dying early anyway.
Bolded; correct, mirdo is an easy lynch. But that's why Vom didn't need to push a lynch on him! Mirdo is easy -- you could get him lynched despite not putting forward an earlier case or having much reasoning at all.
Mafian Vom might have not selected Nick for two reasons:
-- Nick is a scumbuddy like you said.
-- Nick is town, and Vom didn't want more negative attention from you and myself (I think this is very likely)
That's why I don't see the merit in mirdo's lynch, let alone any connections with Vom.
Can anyone who played in the last game remember him doing it?
Yes, Aqua invokes meta as both alignments and gets lynched Day 1 as both alignments. If I was Aqua, I'd be AtEing that fact just as he did.
That said, it doesn't excuse

So folks, what do you all know about mirdo's meta?
Mirdo is very similar to Violet, except more comedic and likes to make jokes 24/7 (nothing particularly wrong with that). Doesn't think he has the authority to make reads because he hasn't played mafia much, and similarly to Violet, will make comments when they feel that they're allowed to (i.e. if someone explicitly asks them to). Sometimes does things like create pie charts that don't - uh - mean very much. Seems to also be playing because it's Big Brother, not because it's Mafia.
tl;dr I don't think that mirdo is doing anything uncharacteristic.
...Geyde? I found nothing but two posts where you mention Violet.
In here you... basically only say this.
And here you point out how odd it is that Jade think Violet is neutral... but your response was done even after he has changed his thoughts.
Basically, I found nothing about why you wouldn't nominate Violet.
@Geyde needs to respond to this finding.
Also, Jade is town. Nice to have you here Jade.
This. Jade, don't feel obligated, just post like you have been whenever you read the thread and you'll be fine.
