Spoiler:
Yes lol this is what you are wrong on! You've fallen for the BOP shift that tris made here. Correct, if I'm trying to make an argument that slime is scum I have BOP. That's not what this conversation was about though - tris tried to shift the conversation to this argument and give me BOP. I responded by calling out this BOP shift and asking why slime is town, which is really what we are evaluating (the argument isn't that slime has been actively posting scummy things, but that they have been avoiding posting actively town things).
I'll put it in a manner that I think your type of mindset may understand more easily. Anypositiveclaim carries with it a burden of proof. If one makes anegativeclaim, such as "unicorns do not exist", they have no burden of proof: it would fall on someone who would posit the positive claim that unicorns DO exist. My claim (and first premise towards my ultimate conclusion) is a negative one: slime has no town positive content. From this premise, combined with the premise that those who do not post actively towny content within page 17 of a game are likely to be scum, the conclusion follows that slime is likely to be scum. Instead of disputing one of these assumptions, Tris reframes the argument. Do you see how you're misinterpreting BOP here?-

I mean there's only two scum right. Slime isn't counterweagoning anyone and the other scum could also be one of the more ineffective/inactive players.In post 523, bugspray wrote:i'm a bit worried because assuming slime!scum where's the counterwagon?

This is not to say that I do think slime is scum, also I haven't read the last five pages, I'm now onto it now.Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, not like a woman who is really into horses.-

I said I liked your entry into the game and that your read on me felt authentic. Obviously your read on me is wrong. I don't know what else to say - your reasons for scumreading on me I have usually been over pages ago with other people.In post 510, tris wrote:i concur with kyoko that i want horsewoman to react to my pushing on her.Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, not like a woman who is really into horses.-

I would like to note that scum fucking love arguments about the burden of proof and theory and spending time on that rather than like, trying to lynch people. Maybe that's hypocritical coming from me because I haven't really pushed anyone for a while but I really think this is a scummy sort of vibe.

I also doubt he's bussing because bussing in a micro is pretty dumb in general. And it's actually the lazier/more scummy-appearing thing to do to push slime. I really do hate associative reads like this especially on day one, but I think if superbowl is scum that's a pretty good reason for me not to hammer slime here.Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, not like a woman who is really into horses.-

Look at this ISO (this isn't all of super's posts) - none of this is content. The only content superbowl has provided this whole game is pushing slime pretty hard after other people already started doing it. A lot of jokes/literal chess games/wrangling about the burden of proof. And his questions, such as they are, are pretty artificial. Often just asking why people aren't voting slime - which is facially fine - but it looks like super's reached a predetermined outcome rather than searching for anything. Like superbowl's content is not a huge sight better than slime's content, but superbowl has been doing it in a much shadier way to me.In post 526, superbowl9 wrote:Spoiler:

^Perfect example of my point. Slime is scum is not my premise, but my conclusion.In post 528, tris wrote:"The Slime Collective is scum" is a positive claim. one which of course can be supported by argument that they aren't making town content. in which case that would the answer to the question "why is The Slime Collective scum?"
Your argument goes something like:
P1. Slime collective has no scummy content
P2. Players who have no scummy content are likely scum
C1. Slime collective is not likely scum
Besides being a totally different argument to the one we were having, I dispute both premises here. I decided to dispute the one I think is more easily realizable as false, P2, since absence of scum content does not always make someone less scummy, especially when they have no town content. So I pointed out that I disagree with both of your premises, but also pointed out that this SEPARATE argument doesn't address my first posited argument. We are getting into the weeds with this just for me to prove my point, so if you could just take the L here so we can move on that would be great.-

I've helped progress gamestate since my first post. Coming in and supporting kyoko's side of that argument helped spark discussion, then I started a bugspray push, and have currently been the most active lobbyer on slime's wagon, which has generated the majority of recent discussion. You seem to think slime has been my only scumspect this game which really makes me question whether you actually read my ISO - you would've done better here to argue that I'm target switching too much than to argue that I've predetermined today's mislim. I'd love to see the content you've produced that even sniffs the game impact I've had - me and slime are worlds apart. This argument is so disingenuous.In post 533, Horsewoman wrote:Look at this ISO (this isn't all of super's posts) - none of this is content.

No but in all seriousness, superbowl is correct that he 'took kyoko's side' in an argument and then started a really limp-wristed push on bugspray that he didn't really take anywhere. he's also spent the most recent time trying to own people with theory facts in logic instead of doing anything.
Like I really hesitate to say 'defensiveness=scummy" because that's blatantly untrue. But his response in 537 is kind of ridiculously over the top. Like aside from trying to own me by saying my content doesn't even sniff his game impact (lol), his justifications aren't even good. He hasn't been scumhunting this game beyond the most facetious way.Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, not like a woman who is really into horses.-

Lol I’m not trying to “own” anyone, hardline rhetoric just makes people respect your content more. Your points about me were very weak so I responded. You sound like you’re talking to the crowd rather than to me, but I asked you a pretty direct question: can you show me the game impact that you’ve had that’s been more helpful than mine? Because if not you should be scumreading yourself!-

According to your own defense of your content, you have so far
1. 'Agreed with Kyoko' on a silly page 2 argument
2. Pushed bugspray mildly 3 days ago (this did not go anywhere)
3. Agreed with others voting slime and pushed him somewhat
None of that shows a genuine attempt at scumhunting. If you ISO me you'll find a wide variety of actually trying to offer my opinions and reads on the game.Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, not like a woman who is really into horses.-

LOL I think you have an impression of me as this logic debatelord which is not how I usually play. Kyoko brought out the knowyourfallacy website and I know the best way to get to that type is through this type of speaking, and I've been kinda railroaded the past two games for being too passive so I'm being more assertive. Comparing me to ben shapiro makes me want to vomit, especially from someone who will not stop using the L word.In post 545, Horsewoman wrote:

I'm sorry about using the word 'lynch' to refer to eliminations, I'm trying to do better but I've never seen it called by any other name. The more I play mafia on this site, the better I'll be at it.
Hey, why don't you respond to my criticisms on this page by actually trying to read players in this game? Like what the hell are your thoughts on whether I'm scum, I don't even know. What are your thoughts on kyoko? What are your thoughts on all the other people you've been arguing facts and logic about?Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, not like a woman who is really into horses.-

Pedit: I don't think you are very scummy ATM, but your push on me has lessened your towncred a bit. Kyoko I've townread since the beginning of the game. Tris does have some slime partner equity but that's for tomorrow. I've already said most of that
