All of that rings as scum for me.

AP, when you post several times in a row like that, it's cute.

Besides, I've spent the last hour justifying my read and vote on you, AP.

Don't try to put the pressure elsewhere, or direct this someplace else.

You weren't even voting me until I commented on your JKLM stance and voted you over it.

Your reaction is not making my vote feel misplaced.

I'll talk about who and what I want to talk about.

All I've heard from you is that I misrepped you and I attempted to discredit you. Do you focus on anyone other than yourself?

I'm also all for a Grim lynch, but no one's supporting that.

I wasn't even voting for you until just now, and I haven't considered you as scum before this point.

In fact, before this just recent bout- the only thing you said about your top scumread is that I discredited your question to Mollie. And you never followed up on that Q when they did respond, so I was correct in predicting that you weren't going anywhere with it.

And you have not provided any actual content towards determining lynches or clearing townies.
In post 606, Varsoon wrote:Everyone that's okay with a Varsoon lynch better explain why they are.

Because you guys are pretty damn scummy for all just saying "Yeah Varsoon would be a mighty fine lynch" without articulating why, or putting votes there.
So lets talk about this. I want to know why you think Grim is scummy, particularly over the fake-hammer.

You are pretty damn scummy for just saying "Yeah Grim/AP would be a mighty fine lynch" without articulating why.

--

Saying that I misrepped you is a cop out reason for this suspicion and I admit that I misinterpreted your post. You are still scummy for a myriad of reasons that you are actively refusing to address.

P-edit: .....................................................................

Obviously I meant that you were not voting me WHEN I VOTED YOU.

Just checking in to say that I currently want to vote Paschendale.
I haven't heard from Quilford, so I'm not going to vote until then.
I also want to hear from Especially the Lies.

Hes spent no time justifying his vote on anything, certainly not me.

And his vote is only currently on me because I voted him which is undeniably true.

Anyway,

676 ruins a chance at further reaction from JKLM.
693 adds nothing, but makes it look like Grim is doing something.

When reading, it seemed as though Guyett sincerely felt that it was a quick-hammer, or at least a vote that would enable one. When swapped to the Grim account, Grim argues that the vote wasn't a hammer and was never intended as one, which makes me read the vote as a vote to put someone at L-1. An unexplained vote that puts someone at L-1, done within 2 minutes of the previous vote, later masked as reaction fishing (but not from JKLM) and unvoted?
Feels scum to me.


Also, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop misrepping me, AP.

Basically, if the major people behind the JKLM and Beli pushes aren't scum (AP, FlyBeau, Grim), then logic leads me to believe one of JKLM or Beli is scum.

Still, I'm putting my bets on AP for now.

Reading comprehension.

IF they aren't scum, THEN these others are more likely to be scum.
IF.

As in, THESE ARE MY TOP SCUM PICKS
BUT if THEY ARE NOT SCUM, THEN...

It's not that difficult.

Mentally I was supposed to vote JKLM long ago. Willing to hammer if we get to that point, so votes are prepped all the way I believe.

Varsoon is hard for me to get a read on. Some really odd posting style and not many points that are salient.

Feels scum to me.

Actually it was an intentional fake hammer, we were going to do one earlier but Pasch had pointed out that it was still L-2 as I think it was Majiffy had just revoted JKML. I already knew AP was on the wagon even with his unvote: ETL messing and so I quickly fake hammered to get reactions.
I wasn't just fishing for JKML reactions (which looked off btw) but other people reactions. I want to discuss things with Grim first though.
I would also like to point out Varsoon that firstly Saki is known for fake hammering... do you always read him as scum for doing them?
Secondly this is not my first fake hammer.

How do you know that I sincerely thought it was a quickhammer? Read my posts after again.

661 is the fake hammer
663 is me apologizing for hydra slipping (again)
673 is me trying to see if people still believe it was a fake hammer
676 was saying it wasn't a quickhammer (because I already stated intent and JKML had claimed so I could have actually hammered and it wouldn't have been a quickhammer. Also if it wasn't a hammer it certainly wasn't a quickhammer.
677 is unvoting incase someone actually does come in and quickhammer
680 is me showing disbelief that people still think it was a hammer. I had to say it wasn't without saying it as JKML hadn't posted yet

@Mod: votecount, please.


My problem at the moment is that I don't have any strong reads one way or the other. I suspect this is a function of lots of unhelpful banter amongst players, very little consensus generally, and a Day which feels like it's been dragging on too long. As it is, though, my reads fall on a continuum from most to least scummy, and there is not much distance between different players.

Varsoon, Belisarius, and AP (in no particular order) are up there at 'most scummy', but I really don't mind who dies today, so long as it isn't us. A flip will be fantastic.

In post 688, JKLM wrote:If and when I do die an flip town, I Gueantee scum will try to discredit the revealed connections by saying that I was obv coming off as scum
The problem is that you were, and we've got your stupid plan to thank for that if you do flip town.

I think you should be lynched. If you would have wanted to be the least bit helpful, at least you would have provided reads. It's standard procedure for soon-to-be-lynched town. But you didn't. You're just playing the "I was too scummy to be scum"-card and I don't buy it.

I liked the fakehammer-idea, I had discussed it with my other head before, when he mentioned before we were at L-1 after Majiffy's vote, but we were at L-2, something Paschendale helpfully (?) pointed out.
But letting the cat out of the bag before JKLM had a chance to respond made this exercise completely useless. The reactions we got out of it have not been helpful in any way.

I'm done with pushing on Paschendale. If you don't see it now, I don't know how on earth you'll ever see it. I'll just try to take pleasure out of saying "I told you so" post-game.

Varsoon is town. His push on The Grim Reaper slot screams it. Scum has no interest in pushing a slot that nobody was pushing before. Scum has no interest in pushing a slot that's proven to be hyperactive. Pushing active players like us is setting yourself up for a whirlpool of wall-wars and the like, the exact thing I think scum would want to avoid.

And yes, a votecount would be swell.

In post 685, JKLM wrote:So In case I was quick hammered sorry guys but I'm exactly what I said to be
So please lynch Beli tomorrow

LOL

This came right after Guyett already proclaimed it wasn't a quickhammer.

It seems like we got a reaction out of it after all. This post SCREAMS fake.

Why would JKLM not have noticed it was fake in 685, but then realize it in ?

How can anyone in their right mind consider this a JKLM-town reaction?

Wrong.

Scum have a lot of interest in pushing a slot that won't go anywhere but wall-wars because it makes them look like they're doing something, it makes them engage a lot more actively, it provides the opportunity to fake some emotional reactions for easy town cred, and it makes mistaken people like you make mistaken statements like the above. Never scumhunt by trying to guess what scum are and aren't willing to do. Rather, scumhunt by looking at what players have done.

Moreover his push on you was based on a weak one line of reasoning which presumed Lying Cat also being scum. Then, when nobody was convinced, he posted 'I'm also all for a Grim lynch, but no one's supporting that.' and switched votes.

Sorry, but I can't just let this go:
In post 707, Paschendale wrote:Well, these last few pages were definitely interesting.

Grim's losing that townread from me. The fake hammer and then quick unvote do not sit well. Especially the unvote.
JKLM's gambit almost sounds weird enough to be true. If there were a decent counterwagon, I might even think of switching.
At this point, we should just lynch JKLM.
We probably know everything we're going to know without a flip. Everyone has put their flavor into the game and made their arguments. Except for the new girl, and perhaps we should wait for her to weigh in, but I think we just need a lynch, and
JKLM stands a decent chance of being scum
.
I won't even comment. Just look at the bolded parts versus the underlined parts.

Us losing that townread: boo-fucking-hoo. The only thing I see you do is hop on a wagon if ever one would form on us, but I wouldn't count on it if I were you.

Varsoon, I see merit in your point about Grim, but it's still day 1. That will likely be important later if they keep doing
it
.
What is this mystical "it" you are referring to? What are we doing? Are you referring to us trying to become a dominant town voice? Or us being
antagonistic
, whatever that's supposed to mean? Or is it the continually bringing you to everyone's attention?
And most importantly:
Why is it only important later and not now?

you know I find your reaction to this weird, since when we played scum I actively lurked and in nearly every large game that scum have won the scum teams did, indeed, actively lurk.

so your incorrect and quil has a point.
