That's not necessarily true. There's a hundred-and-one things scum can do, and it's not easy for a town player to divine what they are actually thinking,
especially
when one does not have information regarding who the partners are, their gameplan, and team dynamics.
I'm sure you have heard of the term "townhunting", which is essentially a form of scumhunting (ironic, I know) that is a counterexample to your statement. So, I don't think so.
In post 441, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:Your post on the other hand has the unfortunate quality of not doing this. The intent behind the post was not backed up with any attempt at finding scum, but rather at potshotting someone's credibility for later, and keeping yourself under the radar, without having to commit anywhere.
Is this the case? You're casting four accusations against me:
1. Not scumhunting
2. Potshotting someone's credibility
3. Keeping myself under the radar
4. Without committing anywhere
Are you going to provide evidence and explanation to justify all these claims? Because, I, for one, can already rule out number 3 as false -- I think my walls vs RedCoyote which take up a full screen's length is the opposite of "keeping myself under the radar".
In post 441, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:This kind of posting is perfect for scum, because it makes people consider other players beyond yourself and gives you some ground to stand on in the terms of content.
Once again, you should justify your point of where it "makes people consider other players beyond [my]self".
I'm making people consider Vi because her post pinged a scumtell. Do explain how this action is not town-motivated.
In post 441, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:The fact is, attempting to claim that post is coming from a scum perspective without elaborating on it (because once I elaborated on it, it became clear you were cherry picking a tree and avoiding the forest) has more scum intent than anything Vi has said so far.
Interesting.
Well, let me tell you about the forest.
The forest includes Vi throwing shade upon your Jazzmyn townread, and asking leading questions that suggest to you that 'at least one scum is on the Jazzmyn wagon', which is simply not a valid conclusion to make at this point in time.
Her "I'll have my own thoughts, but I'll wait for yours" can be construed as being malleable to whatever of your responses suit the motivations of her hypothetical scum faction, yet able to persuade you into having an ultimately anti-town opinion if you had responded with something that would be pro-town.
#420 is also another potshot on the Jazzmyn wagon. You want to talk about "makes people consider other players besides yourself", then you should talk about Vi throwing shade on the Jazzmyn wagon. She wants you to consider three other players besides herself.
Way more deadly than my "consider only Vi", isn't it?
