with mala i think it is slightly different bc here people aren't really saying "mala is lurking, she lurks as scum, therefore she's scum", they're more saying "mala is lurking, lurking is scummy, therefore she's scum". the first point is one that she would take issue with, the second one much less so. then again idk if she's even read enough to know which is going on here- Vulture

I don't think either of these are what they're saying at all? They're saying "mala is lurking, in a towngame she reacted much differently to being pushed for lurking, therefore she's scum"In post 900, fireisredsir wrote:with mala i think it is slightly different bc here people aren't really saying "mala is lurking, she lurks as scum, therefore she's scum", they're more saying "mala is lurking, lurking is scummy, therefore she's scum". the first point is one that she would take issue with, the second one much less so. then again idk if she's even read enough to know which is going on here- fireisredsir

My mala take is just me pointing out that I don't have meta info on anybody else. I guess the timing is wrong, I should have pointed that out in the beginning.In post 893, fireisredsir wrote:
my reason is that they redirected accusations of lurking onto another slot, Mala, one that they later mentioned they had meta of her lurking as town. bringing her up specifically as the one to redirect on makes it feel to me like they knew that she was likely to continue lurking as town and thus would be an easy push to makeIn post 888, implosion wrote:

actually these two in combination is p sus as wellIn post 882, hutmeil wrote:I think the only slot I can meta is Mala. I played with Mala last game. Mala was lurking but she turned out to be Town so Mala!lurker doesn't equate to Mala!scum. But then again, I don't like lurkers. So for me, lurking can be a scum strategy, but given my meta on her, I'll let her go at least for now.
it doesn't really make sense from town bc i don't know why you make the first quote when you already have the knowledge in the second quote- fireisredsir

ik what ari is saying. im talking about the distinction between the "being pushed for lurking" in the two games, so the earlier reasons for mala suspicions, not the current ones. in the linked game people were specifically making the argument that she had lurked it out a lot in recent scumgames, and that specifically was what she responded to emotionally, the idea that lurking was AI for her based on her metaIn post 902, implosion wrote:

As in: I feel your responses to me regarding 808 and 809 currently hinge on a singular thing that happened early, and the majority of everything else is... I guess to me weird transition into a lot of mentions about meta and you’re not doing it so you like... can’t I guess make content? Won’t?In post 901, Vulture wrote:@Hutmeil: is meta the only way you would/generally approach games? There’s a level of familiarity that most players have here but equally as you feel I’m claiming to be low energy to lurk, I feel like you’re using meta (or lack thereof) as a shield to avoid engaging the game.
There’s a fair amount of it but my point ultimately is that if you’ve been following/reading the game you’d have realized there was a lot more you could speak about.
If you are town I understand that this game is hard to engage (I have others too have said as much) but I’d appreciate a deeper dive if you have the time, if only to my replies selfishly.- hutmeil

On the contrary. As I've mentioned before, I lack meta info so I'm just basing things on their own merits. To be honest, I feel kinda out of place since I'm the only one new here and you guys have played each other multiple times. So when you guys talk and banter, I just prefer to listen (read).In post 901, Vulture wrote:@Hutmeil: is meta the only way you would/generally approach games?

Also, I guess because of the 10-year hiatus, I'm still getting used to the game again.
But I'll try to engage more often (hopefully!). It's quite hard to come back and see 10-15 new pages to read all at once!- hutmeil

my advice would be that you don't particularly need to understand every slot in the game, just skim and try to feel for what you think is out of place or scummy - one good idea is worth more than many wrong ones.In post 910, hutmeil wrote:

okay, now that i read the hutmeil post in full... it seems misrep-y? like, vulture didn't try to make a meta argument, they tried to get hutmeil to actually think about their own scumread and the validity of it. and to continuous response of "you cannot make me do any meta!!" feels like... sorta a scummy misunderstanding of the original request. like not even trying to understand the argument.
also, hut, i would like to hear reasons why you think those people are townie. and do you have any further thoughts than "these people are scumhunting"?I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M- Datisi

the scummy thing (in 765) was piggybacking on someone else's suspicion and pushing it along by saying that she was similarly lurky in a scum game you played with her, without any consideration for whether she's lurky as town. that second part could just be bad play, people do it all the time, but the way it was following and pushing someone else's read forward felt opportunistic and scummy to me- Gamma Emerald
