Before I go into each of Gheb's post, I'm going to translate to standard English for clarification.
A poet I am with heart and soul, regardless of my race
Humanity don't matter - not even a pizza is too abstruse!
My word shall be in verses of beauty, wisdom and grace
And never forget this: always ask before you accuse!
I am going to post in poetry.
(I don't know what he means about pizza not being hard to understand).
Again, I am posting in poetry.
Remember to question before you accuse someone.
This I am posting to reference back to for the actual case. Just like with Ryu's posting restriction, Gheb posting in poetry is a null tell.
However something I noticed here is that Gheb is a little self-conscious about his poetry this game. The last I saw him use this style was in Pulp Fiction where he was town. He was not conscious there in the slightest and didn't even really mention his poetry unless someone asked about it. Here he comes in talking about its benefits and why he's doing it. He doesn't need to tell this to Soup as him and Soup have done this previously. So it seems like he is setting up his defenses.
Why inform people that they should question before they accuse? Clearly he was referring to himself specifically on this. Anyways this itself doesn't say Gheb scum, but taken with the posts below, I believe that Gheb has a sense of guilt and thus is playing more cautious than he has shown as town.
Yes! Why utter a mere bark when mankind has poetry so sublime?
So early I didn't expect from the Soupy-one words that auspicious!
Playfully we pretend to be monsters but ours is still reason and rhyme!
And it allows us to cloth our deeper thoughts on who we think is vicious!
Exactly, poetry is a great way to post.
Soup is promising already.
We pretend to be suspicious, but we still have reason in our posts.
Our thoughts can be better hidden this way on who we think is scum.
This is what I am referring to about Gheb explaining the benefits to his poetry. Again he and Soup were going back and forth with this the last time Gheb played in poetry (which wasn't long ago). So I don't think he was simply discussing with Soup about poetry, but prematurely setting up defense for his style.
On another note, his supposed reason for posting in poetry is quite bad. Why would you want to keep your scum reads hidden. How is this beneficial, Gheb?
Could it be that you are being fooled or is it me?
I thought the Soupy voiced delightful agreement
In either case I really don't like this reaction I see
Even if you are joking it's unnecessarily vehement
Vote: Red Ryu
Did you misread what Soup was saying or did I?
I thought that Soup was agreeing with my poetry.
Either way, I don't like this reaction from you.
Even if you're joking, you're expressing unnecessary passion.
This is in response to Ryu's #11 where he votes Soup. I surely agree with Gheb that Ryu's jump on him was awkward. Though as I went through these two posts, Gheb says some weird things as well.
The last line Gheb says that even if Ryu is joking, his passion is unnecessary...
If he was joking, then of course the passion would go along with that. It was 11 posts into the game, in RVS. I don't like Gheb's elaborate reasoning through voting Ryu here. Though now that I think about it, this could simply be because Gheb has to fill up his 4 lines of poetry and thus just puts what he can in.
And why do you ignore me when you say my ways you approve?
If I say "ask first!" is this your way to show that you understand?!?
Not even knowing what the point is you still force him to move?
When he had no chance to even elaborate on the issue at hand?
And if you agree with me, why are you not following what I've stated?
I stated to question before you accuse, but then you do this?
You accused him without even questioning him or him having the chance to elaborate.
But since he felt the need to continue on about it, I say the poetry excuse doesn't cut for his elaborate reasoning on this.
The funny thing particularly about this post is that Gheb is accusing Ryu of not "questioning before accusing" and that Ryu didn't give Soup a chance to elaborate,
but here Gheb is doing that very thing to Ryu.
This furthers my belief that Gheb's "question before you accuse" wasn't a legit piece of advice as even he cannot do that. It's just not good advice really. So again this just supports that his reasoning for posting the "advice" was because he was being self-conscious about his poetry and felt the need to say that.
Ryker what good do you hope to achieve
By pointing out the dragon as a vanilla?
How can we hope the evil to deceive
If you make noise like an angry gorilla?
Ryker what good can come from you declaring that Red Ryu is Vanilla Townie?
How can we keep information hidden from scum if you play like this?
The reason why I pointed out this post is that Gheb seems to be playing selectively with who he calls out. He calls Ryker out on this and other things, but he doesn't call out a single thing I do in the game. That is in fact the main reason why I believe Gheb is scum and where my suspicious originates. I'll go more into it below.
When I look at the faithful follower of foreign religion
I see determination behind a veil of intriguing seclusion
Briefly and sparingly he offers us a look at his vision
While showing the wisdom to see through Ryker's illusion
Unvote
Zen looks to me like he has scum-catching motive.
He's giving us who he thinks is scum, and showing that Ryker is wrong.
This is where I first picked up ScumGheb. This post makes very little sense in context of my posts before.
All I had done at that point were question Ryu, state that TSN was town, and state that Gordito was scum without any reasoning at all. Regardless of this, Gheb seems to pick up some kind of town vibes? I did not like this at all. He does this the rest of the day and assumes that I am town/passes over any kind of scumminess that I put out. Gheb is being selective on who he pushes and questions. This is not something you would see from town as they do not know who is town and who is scum. They need to analyze everyone. Scum, however already know who is scum and who is town. All they need to do is survive and mislynch until they have majority. Scum can already have it set for who they want to push, buddy, etc. I believe this to be the case with Gheb. He is not looking at me critically like others have been. He already has it set that he will have a town read on me, and likely has it set for who he wants to push and defend.
Gheb has mentioned quite a bit that just outing your town reads is dumb/scummy. I come out of no where stating that TSN is town and he says nothing about it. Yet later on, Gord asks me for my read on Inferno and Gheb advises me not to answer. I asked him two or three times if he missed me randomly calling TSN out as town, but he has yet to answer >.<. Despite this, Gheb buddies me saying how I am playing wise and **** wut.
Furthermore, it seems that Gheb is agreeing with me here on Gordito, as he called me wise for showing through Ryker's illusion (Ryker's town read on Gheb). Yet he never peruses on Gordito at all during the day.
Japanese Buddhist, I must ask of you to ignore Gorf's request!
The Company's post is just about as jokey as its weaker half
Fruitless is my read on him for now, just like it is for all the rest
Baseless reads can't be covered by provoking the audience's laugh!
This is the post I am referring to above. Gord asks me what my read on Inferno is, and Gheb for some reason feels the need to come in and tell me not to answer that.
The Washed one already made some interesting statement
Behind his cases there seems to be an attentive designer
In Ryker's content I can definitely see the crass abatement
Though the offenses of Zen and Gorf appear rather minor
Washed made some interesting points.
He seems to be playing with reason.
Ryker's play definitely seems off.
But the points on Zen and Gord seem minor.
OK first off, this is exactly what I'm talking about his selective pushes. He is not questioning me or Gord at all. Despite earlier agreeing that Gord was scummy. I believe this was even after the post where I stated we would quick lynch and I would disappear. Gheb doesn't question my motive at all. He is set with what his position on me will be.
Vote Ryker
The double-standard in his #165 shall not be overlooked!
For who is he to accuse others for his very own offenses?
Granted, the excuse is awkward on Batman to get hooked
But him projecting his own flaws is hurting all my senses
Yet he questions Ryker's motives and votes him on this weak sauce.
Because I wanted to make sure that you show no response
I approve how you combine your dedication with discretion
Be worried about the frog for you can't know what he wants
Answer questions on your town reads with excluding aggression
Because I wanted to make sure you didn't answer.
I like how you have been hunting with discretion.
You don't know what Gord's motives are so be careful.
Answer questions of your town reads carfully (? No idea what "excluding agression" means. Gheb, what does that mean?).
This is in response to me asking why Gheb asked me not answer Gord's question about Inferno. Again he failed to even take notice of #66 (which is in fact how I generally play the game).
The Vocal one and the Dark Horse are expendable pawns
Like scavengers they just pick out the sick and the lame
Let us hope that in this game they won't see a lot of dawns
Evil ones, please roast these worms with your hellish flame!
Vocal and Dark Horse are expendable.
They just pick out easy targets.
Hopefully they wont live too long.
Scum please Night Kill them.
Now this is quite lovely. Gheb's apparant belief is that town should limit giving scum clues on who to night kill as much as possible. Posting something like this goes completely against that. This tells scum exactly who NOT to kill. Gheb, what was your motive for posting this? Enlighten us with your flames of truth and justice.
We have been through this many times until today
Nothing wrong with ignoring what's free of worth!
Insinuate "fluff" and "misdirection" is only halfway
'Specially when it's rooted in dry and fruitless earth
Thank you for defending me.
Now then:
-Gheb what is your read on Gordito?
-Please explain anything I may have misinterpreted above or could not interpret.
-Who do you want lynched today? Do you really think Ryker is scum?
-Please anwer my questions from before and above.
