[displaced]

YOU SEE WHAT DISPLACED IS DOING GUYS? He is now changing his tune, first it was because i contradicted myself or some shit, and now its because i TOOK A MASSIVE LEAP? This guy is a joke. And probably scum.

Yeah because Im responding to clarification you just made?

[pidgey]

Lol.

I could apperantly say "Im going to make a sandwich guys" and youd respond "SANDWICH? SCUM!"

Snake hasn't posted at all I think, and will probably be replaced.

Mutley though....

[PeregrineV]

Only been two days and he's only had an RVS vote.

Fire in the hole!

Vote: Mutlety

[Squirrel Girl]

I'm bugged that people are choosing to dismiss how I caught Yates by just calling the conversation "silly" without actually providing any validity to the claim that it's silly.

I CAUGHT SCUM! Why does everyone always ignore me?

[Yates]

How are these different things?

Are you a native English speaker?

"Mudslinging" is an attempt to destroy someone's reputation through attacks [discredit, misrep, etc]
"Throwing [stuff] at a wall to see what sticks" is when someone takes a shotgun approach throwing out varied reads or accusations to see what people react to.

Two very different things.

He is now changing his tune, first it was because i contradicted myself or some shit, and now its because i TOOK A MASSIVE LEAP?

I would expect him to change his tune if you meant the second but said the first and have since clarified. You accused him of doing something he didn't do when what you

meant

is something he may or may not have done. Have you quoted the post that looks like "throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks" yet?

[Yates]

Why does everyone always ignore me?

Because you are scum. Or because you are pedantic. I'm going to read you based on your performance going forward since apparently [and inexplicably] I'm the only one that makes a distinction between giving reads and scumhunting and that doesn't discount defenses as scumhunting. *shrug*

[pidgey]

I mean its in my iso right there but here.

I dunno i have no reads yet nero seems town for now.

Displaced looks scummy with his last post since that seems like a little "throw some dirt and see if it sticks"

vote: Displaced

[pidgey]

His early posts, particularly this one:

It was a reference to the show called "The Awesomes" (catch it on Hulu - it's quite good), Aronis. The main character of which is Professor Doctor Jeremy "Prock"

Awesome

.

I must bow to Squirrel Girl's superior knowledge of comic book minutiae.

all felt quite relaxed and "bantery". Doesn't seem at all nervous or forced.

Don't really think this is a good way to try to discern alignment.

And if you mean his, then this.

[Yates]

And if you mean his, then this.

That's what I meant. Thanks.

With that posted; I happen to agree with displaced on that point, actually. Saying that banter "feels relaxed" as an explanation for a Town read is pretty weak. Do you disagree?

till Day 1 Deadline

[pidgey]

I thought it was "a little "throw some dirt and see if it sticks"". (Quoting my quatations)
I never called him SCUMBOOOO just thought he was scummish at the time because yes, it felt to me as if he wanted to point something and see if others would think is scummy.. (Quoting my quatations)

And its better to have a vote somewhere than nowhere. The reaction to my vote is heavily fucking bad, me thinks.

[displaced]

How are these different things?

"Mudslinging" is an attempt to destroy someone's reputation through attacks [discredit, misrep, etc]
"Throwing [stuff] at a wall to see what sticks" is when someone takes a shotgun approach throwing out varied reads or accusations to see what people react to.

Two very different things.

Ok did I do either of these things ?

[Chandra Nalaar]

Hey displaced, do you have anything at all to say that's not about pidgey?

[Yates]

Ok did I do either of these things ?

That's a different question from "How are these different things?"

I have already stated that I agree with your observation. That said, I can see how someone could perceive that as "seeing what sticks" even if I don't agree with it. You could *prove* that you didn't mudsling so that's irrelevant.

[Chandra Nalaar]

Did a quick skim of most of the non-Yates/SG substantial posters and a couple lurkers too.

Townreads: Fenix, Josh, Thad, Nero, ZZZX?
Scumreads: jklash, Kid A

None of these are strong, and I'm not counting those I already had a read on (i.e. pidgey is still town)

Umbrage's early posts still bug me, but the later ones are okay. Is it bad that I want to put my vote somewhere useless?
I may have to actually figure out if Yates is scum, even though it sounds about as pleasant as carving my eyes out with a rusty spoon.

[pappums rat]

I just got to the bottom of page 14 and wont be able to get back on until later tonight but I just wanted to say a few things.

pidgey, I was asking Kid A about you because it would have helped me build a read on him.

SERIOUSLY WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE VOTING YATES

HE'S WRONG AS SHIT BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE HIM SCUM

What about the

way

that he's wrong? I agree that being wrong doesn't equate to scum - but does he actually go and be wrong like this as town? Like, he cherry picks and intentionally builds bogus cases and acts like it's legit and bully people as town?

Honestly, from what I remember of playing with Yates, this is exactly the kind of play I expect from him. I understand from your viewpoint this probably looks differently, but I do have a townread on him.

@Josh:

Why aren't you voting?

@Chandra:

Did you just imply it is so scummy it is town? Has that ever worked out for you? I mean that gives scum the oppurtinity to be blatantly scummy and get a town read from you for it. It seems a little naive to me.

Wow, this post is terrible. This is posting just to post, not commenting on anything actually going on, randomly asking Josh why he isnt voting and then taking CHandra's post out of context and asking useless question and giving useless commentary with it.

[vezokpiraka]

@Josh: This game is pretty big and I didn't get very engaged in the argument between SG and Yates. I'm thinking one of them is scum, but until I have a solid enough read I prefer to not say anything.

As for what is happening now. Pidgey is town. Towniest town ever. He plays like he doesn't have a care in the world. This is not scum play.

OK. Why is umbrage the superior wagon?

Please explain.
I have no clue why you are asking me this.

[Josh_B]

OK. Why is umbrage the superior wagon?

Please explain.
I have no clue why you are asking me this.

Ok. It was probably back on page 3, but it was before the sg/yates/pidgy wars. Umbrage voted himself, you called for a wagon and jumped on.

[Nero Cain]

What is SG accusing you of that others are doing?

SG accused me of not scumhunting.

Also, YOU accused me of not scumhunting. Though you clearly recognize that there is scumhunting inherent in defending yourself or challenging the logic/motivation. At least, you think that when people accuse YOU of not scumhunting in games where you are sussing out your attacker. *shrug*

Questioning obvious bullshit is one thing, but me nor SG didn't post any shit. I made a joke about pling you and then joked about how they weren't wagoning you and that meant you were scum. You got all whiney about it and accused me of trying to be meta or whatever dumb shit you said. As far as SG goes, you were wrong and your continuing to argue despite being wrong is really anti-town (if you are town). So if you are town you need to stop it or eat rope today.


Pushing back is null 'cause both alignments do it and having scum reads on your attackers and/or a limited few often comes from scum.

@the ruffling-read on me and SG noa

I liked Squirrel Girl up to the point that she started calling pidgey townie based of the same set of posts that I feel make pidgey scummy. However, I'm putting SG into the category of mistaken townie rather than skimming scum presently.

I have a similar feeling towards you, Nero. Your read on pidgey is wrong. Your assessment of SG's argument for pidgey being town is also wrong. I don't see how either of you can take a hard look at pidgey's shifting case and come up with a town reading off it. I'm a little more confident in thinking that you are town.

1. SG hasn't called Pid town.
2. Why is SG mistaken town than scum presenting wrong facts?
3. Short of claiming scum with Pid, why am I wrong?
4. His case isn't shifting

[Nero Cain]

Yates is stubborn. Squirrel Girl is town, and is right.

FIFY!

But does that make them scummy in a large game?

And what's the difference between being opportunistic in a small and a large?

[Nero Cain]

Pid wagon is crap, either Yates or Ruffling are my preferred lynches.
