I agree with you here. But it was Titus who said that, not Shannon. Shannon's willingness to die is anti-town. Not sure if that makes her scum.
Actually it's indicative of town.

Death is anti-scum more than it is anti-town because scum would lose half their team upon the death of a member.

Do math.

Why?

I have and you'll find I repeat that over and over again.

Site meta is suboptimal. I am obligated to instruct on optimal play, not what lemmings find popular.

It's a recent position I take based on the rise of derp hammers, so no I cannot. It used to be that we could wait for intent to hammer, but some players just hammer anything at L minus 1.

First time I read it I got the impression she was only posting about game theory. Second time I didn't get such an impression. She posted some non game theory stuff too.

Pedit. I hope you understand our dilemma here
