At the time I wanted to see how fennec would respond to me, because while my initial reaction was his vote on me was scummy I didn't want to overreact out of a dislike for him pushing me. I'm still waiting on that response.In post 215, Thynhith wrote:Spoiler:
@catboi, I am still concerned with this post of yours. You make decent points about Fennec's possible scuminess, but you fail to add a vote for him.
Do you truly find him less scummy than Sterling? I'll get the ball rolling for you;
VOTE: Fennec

Why is it a bad thing to move a vote off from someone after RVS? Why is that scummy? Don't dodge, answer me clearly.-

Force of habit. I haven't played mafia since my last game here where I was scum. "Lynch" was the common term used back then but yeah,I can see why the word causes controversy. I'll try and avoid using the word from now on.In post 232, Maestro wrote:

if you follow my posts then you'll see my explanation for keeping my vote on him up until now - Sterling's vote does make me a little more doubtful of my read... perhaps that's the intention?In post 232, Maestro wrote: ...

I thought I had been quite explicit in my suspicion of Sterling as Fennec's most likely maf partner, so I'd be baffled if he thinks I'm being especially 'nice' to him.-

I think you are misunderstanding what I'm trying to say.In post 227, catboi wrote:like I was thinking you were sincere but misguided but this current argument suggesting saying "it's only RVS" about a page 1 vote is really bullshit and you've played here before, you should know how early game voting works, trying to attack me for that is nonsense
You making the RVS vote post pinged me and I wanted to explore it. My point isn't exclusive to RVS; scum could place an FOS/vote on a player for example like the below:
I think catboi is scum. He's overreating a lot and I find that scummy,but I could be wrong.
Your "it's only RVS" is in similar vein to the examples listed above. It pinged me and I wanted to question it. I'm not saying RVS is scummy or moving out of RVS is scummy, I'm just making the point that scum can say something as an excuse to 'back out' of a vote, which I've seen scum do numerous times. In your case, it was the "RVS" which I picked up.I think catboi is scum. He's overreating a lot and I find that scummy,but I guess town could do it too.-

You don't find Fennec's attempt to handwave Sterling's behaviour as 'town dumbass' after he'd collected two votes from SE players as worthy of suspicion?In post 238, Maestro wrote:"The group is stronger than the individual" literally sounds like a Scum propaganda line to get out of any responsibility for a miselim, that's the huge red flag for me and yeah it should make you rethink why FennecScum in this situation, I am following posts but not seeing that-

Gonna be a STEEP learning curve.

I don't like how quick he was to jump on Sterling for what looked to me to be newbie confusion. I could very well be projecting my own confusion on to Sterling but this forum system doesn't make any sense-yet-

IMO that is a valid opinion to have about Sterling's behavior, and that's as much as I can kindly sayIn post 242, kkirigiri wrote:

My opinion on Sterling's behavior is it comes from newbScum and Fennec seems to think newbTown, that is just difference in opinion so far, and also I dislike this importance being placed on SE slot attention; if somebody has an SE's attention or vote it means same thing as any other players' attention or vote-

I don't really see any universe where Sterling and Maestro are scum together either, I'm pretty surprised that you see Maestro as being more scummy than Sterling unless you have some really good reasons as to why his later behaviour is explainable as 'confused town'.
Remember, he's not new to mafia games so I don't buy the idea that he doesn't understand some basic tactics such as distancing or bussing - whether he knows when and how to execute them on this site is another matter, but it would be a mistake in my view to assume he's totally clueless.-

I wouldn't worry too much as to whether you're being kind or not. If you dislike my way of thinking, be blunt if you need to.In post 247, Maestro wrote: IMO that is a valid opinion to have about Sterling's behavior, and that's as much as I can kindly say
There's a difference between newbScum and just playing scum badly and having it be exposed under pressure. And sure, at the end of the day, one vote is one vote, but I think a player in Fennec and Sterling's position might see two 'stronger' players' votes and opinions as more weighty and therefore more dangerous than other players new to the site.My opinion on Sterling's behavior is it comes from newbScum and Fennec seems to think newbTown, that is just difference in opinion so far, and also I dislike this importance being placed on SE slot attention; if somebody has an SE's attention or vote it means same thing as any other players' attention or vote
