Erratus, you're still mixing opinions with facts and misinterpreting my case.
1. It's my personal opinion that FoS's are a scumtell. It's not a fact.
2. Budja's logic for defending you is ridiculous. He says that you're doing scummy things, but for some reason claims that it's a towntell.
3. It was your intent to start an early bandwagon, even though it failed.
4. The desperation was that you completely OMGUS'ed someone, then claimed that you weren't. This was even pointed out by AGar IIRC. I view it as a scumtell because you wanted to avoid accusations of OMGUS in the RVS. OMGUS isn't even a scumtell in RVS, yet you really seemed to want to avoid being accused of it.I read Erratus's ISO and, though he isn't Shakespeare, I don't see anything that qualifies as "personal attack". I ask him to moderate his tone. This is all I can and want to do.
Regarding you, you either decide to keep playing or you replace out. Inform me in your next post about your decision. If you want to replace out, I will look for a replacement using the standard channels, you don't need to find one yourself.

I can't really argue with your first point. If you disagree, you disagree. I disagree with the second point, though. I think some scumtells depend on playstyle, and not random voting and not explaining it looked to me like an attempt to avoid attention, which he did later. Basically, the whole thing is about risk avoidance. He could have been worried that random voting could give something away, and trying to manufacture anther reason for not random voting would attract attention. Even genuine reasons do that. Based on that initial post, I was looking to see if he would continue to try to avoid attention.Ythan wrote:
I doubt that it's true and there is no evidence to persuade me. It is admittedly unreliable if it admittedly depends on style. That's two answers.Necessary Evil wrote:scum are more likely to fail to random vote and fail to give a reason for not random voting. This read depends on his playstyle. What is wrong with this logic?
Oh, well, that explains it.AGar wrote:
What's wrong with your reasoning?Necessary Evil wrote:
You still haven't explained what is wrong with my reasoning, and you haven't addressed my later clarification post on the subject, so I'll clarify it again: scum are more likely to fail to random vote and fail to give a reason for not random voting.AGar wrote:The false-logic isn't that the post has no content. The false-logic is "usually when people don't random vote they give some sort of reason" and using that as backing for a vote.
It's fucking moonbeams, that's what.
Not too sure on Budja at the moment. I'll keep an eye on him, but I'm moving on for now. UNVOTE: Budja
As others have already posted, there are probably scum on EA's wagon. I'll have to reread and see who I think the scum are.-

Well, yeah, I am arguing semantics now, because now it's relevant. You asked me how I interpreted your post as you calling Ythan scum, I can't really show that without delving into semantics.Exilon wrote:This is what people mean when they say you're arguing about semantics. Look how tenaciously you are interpreting the "yes" portion of the sentence, even though you've been told the intention behind the sentence several times, which would eliminate the need to do that.
I wasn't saying you had no doubt Ythan is scum, nor that it wasn't a question. But, it's like, if you call up the grocery store and say "You're open right now, yes?" it suggests you believe they're open, but aren't certain. That's how I interpreted your post.Exilon wrote:Firstly, as long as the question isn't rethorical (And even if it was, it couldn't be considered anything else than a joke), there is implied doubt, no matter how it is structured. Second, if I'm asking confirmation on the fact he's scum, then, as said, it means there is DOUBT, effectively making it a question.
I take everything seriously, even the RVS. That said I see your reasoning for thinking my vote was OMGUS.Exilon wrote:That aside, the POINT is you're taking something seriously that you shouldn't.You voted me because you believed I was calling ythan scum, yet voted you. Yet you totally failed to reason there was no possible way for me to call him scum (because there was nothing at the time), which destroys that reasoning.(And in that case, we're (I'm) left with only one other option that remotely justifies your counter-vote: OMGUS. Do you see now where it comes from? You might say you didn't justify your vote like that, but scum usually mask their reasons, so it's not totally unreasonable to think that way.)
Yeah, if you have some weird-ass definition of "normal" maybe. The FACT is that I often FoS early. The word "normal" is indeed subjective, but it isn't subjective enough that it's reasonable to say that early FoSes aren't "normal", given that fact.Exilon wrote:See? There you go again. Don't impose yourself like that. "it is normal for townies to have two fso's out" IS, no matter how you put it, an opinion. Why? Look at your adjective: "normal". There is no OBJECTIVE way to define the word normal. Even further, saying something is "normal" comes from your perspective and your perspective only. In your experience, that might happen a lot, but for example, in my case, I rarely see FOS's.
Did I say it wasAGar wrote:Just because you think it's normal for a townie to have two FoSes out, doesn't make it the de facto normal. I never FoS personally. I think they're a waste of time. You're overreacting to that. Someone thought it was scummy you did it. You can't say "No, that's not a fact. This is a fact!" It's is not a "fact" that it is normal for townies to have two FoSes out. Get the fuck over it.thede facto normal? No, I didn't. It is normal for one person to have two FoSes out, and it is normal for someone else to have zero FoSes out. This is not contradictory.
Let me get this straight. I'm "twisting" the definition of OMGUS toAGar wrote:@Ythan - I wasn't saying that he didn't know what OMGUS was. I was saying he was twisting the definition of it to the literal formthe literal definition of OMGUS? Jesus, there aren't enough s in the fucking world.
Yeah, and some people post a lot just to avoid the accusation of lurking, but you still look like a moron if you call them lurkers.AGar wrote:He basically said the minute you give any kind of reasoning, even shit reasoning, it's not OMGUS, ignoring the fact that half the time people put a reason onto an "OMGUS" vote that's weak and illogical just to avoid the accusation of OMGUS.
I honestly don't see any personal attacks, but I'm sorry anyways.theplague42 wrote:I'm really sorry about this, but I want to be replaced. I'll stay in until I find one myself, but I can't keep playing with someone who uses personal attacks and swearing to try to make his point.
Your opinion is one hundred percent baseless.theplague42 wrote:It's my personal opinion that FoS's are a scumtell. It's not a fact.
I didn't OMGUS anyone. I've already proven this enough times, I'm done proving it. And I do want to avoid being accused of it, scumtell or not, because it implies that I have no reason for my votes,theplague42 wrote:The desperation was that you completely OMGUS'ed someone, then claimed that you weren't.

And you can call any reasoning on a vote weak and illogical to cast it as omgus, but if you don't explain why it's weak and illogical I'm going to take issue with it.AGar wrote:@Ythan - I wasn't saying that he didn't know what OMGUS was.

You better explain away the points against you now, because if you're replacement can't he's going to have a much harder time climbing out of the whole you've dug him.theplague42 wrote:@mod

Then I'll try to do that.
1. It's my opinion that it was overusing FoS's, not a fact. That Erratus used two was a fact. My interpretation is an opinion.
2. Whether or not the wagon succeeded doesn't matter. He intended to, and that is scummy.
3. I'll concede the town-on-town arguments point. That's what scum do, but there's no evidence that Erratus (or anyone for that matter) has tried to create arguments between people
4. The spamming and general unpleasantness I don't like. It's not directly scummy, but it's suspicious how he reacted after I voted him.Part of the problem.-

Ythan is actually being VERY productive. I like.
If that's how you interpreted my post, which is basically how it was supposed to be interpreted, then there's no rational way your accusation back then works. You pretty much said I was contradicting myself because I had called Ythan scum yet voted you, but from this post, you know that I wasn't certain. This doesn't make much sense.erratus wrote:I wasn't saying you had no doubt Ythan is scum, nor that it wasn't a question. But, it's like, if you call up the grocery store and say "You're open right now, yes?" it suggests you believe they're open, but aren't certain. That's how I interpreted your post.
It is completely different when you say "I often FoS early and like this" and "It is normal for one person to have two fos's out early". the first implies meta and is indeed a fact, the second implies you're talking generally and usually see a great number of people doing as you do. E.g. 60% of your games have people who FoS early and therefore it becomes "normal" for you; in my games 5% do and therefore my idea of normality is different from yours. It's pretty much subjective.erratus wrote: Yeah, if you have some weird-ass definition of "normal" maybe. The FACT is that I often FoS early. The word "normal" is indeed subjective, but it isn't subjective enough that it's reasonable to say that early FoSes aren't "normal", given that fact.
We need more posts from Budja, Mae, Moz and other lurkers.Feels like I've been here before.-

Awesome timing, I was just about to post.Exilon wrote:We need more posts from Budja, Mae, Moz and other lurkers.
To unvote Budja or not to unvote...I mean, it's not like he'll be here for the next hours, but I guess it won't hurt. After all, I'm not getting a single town vibe from him.
EA's meta defense makes me cringe. Then again, who am I to talk. Aside from that (well, and maybe spam) I really can't see the case on him. Plague, why is having 2 FoS's scummy? My interpretation is that it's shorthand for: "Hey I'd like to see [person voted] lynched, but I wouldn't mind having [person FoS 1] and [person FoS 2] hanged either." Enlighten me, please. I really can't see how one person can cause town-on-town arguments...unless EA's town.
I was just skimming the thread and I find Plague's reaction to EA's question and Exilon's opinion on the question extremely interesting. You could have replaced that with: "What he said + half-hearted justification" and nobody would ever notice.
Aside from this, I really can't say anything else without parroting someone. I'd just like for Plague to answer me before he replaces out.-

how on earth was that suspicious by penpen? postinbg that you think sonething is funny? umm..this IS A GAME! I find it scummy that you are trying to rake up suspicions for no reason.Necessary Evil wrote:
penpen's post is the most suspicious thing in the game so far. I don't think townies will often fail to random vote without giving some kind of reason. It does depend on how he plays, but I'm not familiar with the player so I'm taking initiative.AGar wrote:

well if people want to talk about his miller claim, then we are free to do so. Why are you so dismissive of what seems quite an imporatant post?AGar wrote:There is no dissection of miller claims. You simply take that with a grain of salt, judge them like a normal player (if they're scummy, you lynch them. If they're townie, you don't) and if they're still alive a phase prior to MYLO/LYLO, you lynch them on policy to keep from WIFOM headaches in LYLO.You've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...-
