Like your issue is we have no information? No lynching does nothing to fix that. And we do have information, we know the scum roles. From that we've speculated town roles, which can be sorted by analyzing if the speculation someone is doing seems genuine. So maybe do that. Or realize that no one is lying to themselves, and D1 isn't as much of a crapshoot as you think.

Obviously no no-lynch. Based on setup spec, I don't really think we have the strongest PRs out there, given the scum's choices of Zombie.

Hey, Ben, I'd like to ask something about what you've said before...why did you think there was no set-up page, back in one of your earlier posts?

And also, could you tell me about who you think is scum?

I did not see the spoiler tag initially. The places I've played previously, in the first post there's a storyline type write up that kind of explains things. This being my first game in here in, well, forever and never before really participating, it was a n00b move to not look closer. TBH I was like "So weird not having anything to go off of" until I went back and looked.

As for scum, my thoughts currently is, everyone is suspect until we have more info. lol

I think Gamma and PP are both scum.
Could everyone who thinks we're scum please explain why.

The reason I actually voted Ben was to spark discussion at an otherwise stagnant point in the game. Which worked.

-Trying to take credit for ben rejoining us (when he was clear out for IRL issues) is complete BS
-You're scummy because everything you do is scummy.
The fights you pick, the tone with which you pick the fights, the 360-moonwalk shift in your meta from "chenny-the-lurker" to "chenny-the-powerplayer" is something I want to put back on the shelf with every single post of yours.
-Your votes are trash and are on people you have a grudge/ego battle with or low-hanging-fruit that you want to mislynch ASAP.
-Your playstyle is extremely reactive and it's almost as if you show no interest in solving the game, but rather want to stir the pot and encourage infighting.

Case in point- trying to shift the BoP is lazy, especially when it's pretty damn clear why half the roster scumreads you.
Just let me take credit for CJ rejoining us, then I'll be on your wagon as well.

I can't comment on Chennis' plays. We're a very dysfunctional hydra.

Can you provide the votes that relate to this because you are wrong.

That was my other head.
I want to apply pressure to him so he comes back and posts something of substance.

- Phoenix
He's already got 4 votes on him. It may not be a hydraulic press, but I'd argue that's enough pressure already to encourage him to come back. Seems like the thing stopping him from contributing is out-of-game stuff.

Why not vote somewhere else and form another wagon?

So what your points seem to boil down to are;
- you think we're scum so everything we say sounds scummy
- me saying I generated discussion

Such good reasons to scum read us.

In post 765, Platinum Phoenix wrote:Some discussion is still discussion.
SO. Let's analyze what you're doing here.
I'm telling you that you're backtracking off your ben vote which was obviously scummy, and trying to hiding behind motivating """discussion""" during a state of in-game downtime.

And instead of rebutting the point above ^, you're trying to shift the burden of proof and are derailing by making me fucking COUNT the number of discussion posts that was generated as a result of your ben vote.

Do you not see how your approach is dishonest at best and scummy at worst?

You forgot this right here which is quite a significant portion of what you guys have been doing this game.

But sure, let's reductio ad absurdum everything down to 2 measly points.

I think given the fact the 3? most infulencial players in the game - you, pp, gamma - have been scum reading us for most of the game justifies this.

You aren't really giving much reason to townread you and yelling why aren't you townreading me.

To your credit I think more and more Vorkuta may be scum so you've got that going for you. But I kind of want to wait for flips to really read you.

Actually going back and reading through the defense "everyone is scumreading me so I can't be scum" is bullshit when you're voting Ben, whom pretty much everyone is scumreading. I've seen like one post defending him.
