Mini 1401 - Game over!

[Mephistopheles]

Nothing. But the thread's been open for less than twelve hours, and you're already berating the game for being slow? You're join date suggests that you should be used to the pace of the site, which makes your post feel disingenuous, like scum simply trying to appear protown with their early game posts.

[Kthxbye]

makes sense...from your point of view. 2 things you have incorrect assumptions about though. Although I joined long ago, I haven't played in roughly 2 years. Not actually sure why I stopped but w/e. Secondly, the mini normal that started right before this (1400) is on 5 or 6 pages already and both games started roughly the same time. It has to do with the people in this game and not the pace of the site. My statement thus stands, this IS the slowest game I'VE ever been a part of. kthxbye

[Gorgon]

well Meph, that's kinda the point. What's scummy about scumhunting exactly?

Nothing scummy about it all, as long as you're actually doing it instead of just emphatically making a deal out of the fact that you are scumhunting. The latter can be a case of overcompensation for scumminess and is usually considered something of a scumtell.

Your reasonable explanation for your impatience aside, this scumtell still stands (since you could just as well simply have complained about the slow pace of the game without adding the

LookatmeIwannahuntscum

part), and it's the first proper scumtell I've seen in this game so far, so here's another vote.

@Grogon: Please tell me what exactly I'm supposed to hunt with without anyone posting? And look at this, we have moved from RVS to real commentary. Also, please show me where I'm "emphatically making a deal out of the fact that I am scumhunting". If I recall correctly, my post was in reference to the lack of material for anyone to scumhunt at all. Seems like you are the weakest vote on this bandwagon that has emerged. Grats, you are scum. With such, I will vote accordingly...

What's with the colored playernames in the votecount?

@Singer/Nacho: if I asked prettyplease veryvery nicely, would you sign your posts?

@kthx: I'm pretty sure I ran you off the site.

@Mod: What's with the colored playernames in the votecount?

Just an effort to color the votes to make it obvious how many were on someone at a glance. Red (1st) -> Orange (2nd) -> Greenish-yellow -> green.....

I'll stop if its just annoying

Quite like the kthx wagon but Absta didn't vote me; it feels wrong.

@Grogon: Please tell me what exactly I'm supposed to hunt with without anyone posting?

Fair enough, but I wasn't exactly saying you should have been scumhunting, if that's your point here. I was pointing out that you asked what was so scummy about scumhunting while in fact you weren't actually scumhunting, just showing your eagerness to scumhunt - which is the tell that Mephistopheles voted you for. It was as if you didn't really get why exactly he was voting you, so I elaborated on it for you.

Also, please show me where I'm "emphatically making a deal out of the fact that I am scumhunting". If I recall correctly, my post was in reference to the lack of material for anyone to scumhunt at all.

That's nitpicking. There are many ways to skin a cat, and although you included the rest of the players in your complaint, you did implicitly go somewhat out of your way to draw attention to your eagerness for scumhunting, which is a textbook scumtell. My phrasing may have been off there (at least in your eyes) but I believe the tell is still there. Mind you, I don't think it's super-strong tell, but it's something to go on at this stage.

Grats, you are scum.

I'm not sure whether that's meant to rattle me or whether you're just that rattled yourself, but at any rate

I'm perfectly calm. Calmer than you are

I don't quite get why that feels wrong. Is this perhaps a reference to earlier games you've played together?

[Slandaar]

What other reason could there be?

[Gorgon]

Couldn't think of anything else, so that's why that was my guess. But I wanted to be sure.

[Slandaar]

Hey did you vote him because of X?
Yeah
Cool!

What is the point of the question if I have a ready made answer courtesy of you?

[Gorgon]

So you're saying I should just have asked you to explain your vote without supplying a potential answer myself? Maybe.

However, it would be pretty bold and pointless for you to just go ahead and answer 'yeah' if it isn't actually true that absta101 have some sort of history, since this is something that other players can potentially check for themselves. So it's not like I was throwing you a meaty bone there.

[Kthxbye]

@gorgon: "but its something to go on at this stage". Couldn't have been said better.

@slandaar: so you like my wagon without saying why you like and/or agree with it and then you fluff your post with giving us some history we neither care about or want to hear about and furthermore try and push us back into rvs. Is there a reason that although you "like the kthx wagon" you chose not to vote on it? Scumtell alert...

[Singer is Nachomamma]

@Singer/Nacho: if I asked prettyplease veryvery nicely, would you sign your posts?

No, but singer might.
Also the kthx wagon is decently terrible, but I'm sure you all know that by now and don't need me pointing out the obvious.

[Kthxbye]

@SiN: please reply to the question addressed to you on page 1.

[absta101]

@Mod: Please don't do that with VC. I'd rather just one colour be used.

@Slandaar

- Who have you played with before in this game?

[Nobody Special]

@Mod: Please don't do that with VC. I'd rather just one colour be used.

[qwints]

Absta, have anything to say about either the wagon on you or the KthxBye wagon?

[Singer is Nachomamma]

@SiN: please reply to the question addressed to you on page 1.

Not now.
Perhaps later, but not now.

[Kthxbye]

Yeah, I don't like the mysterious. If its important in some way, you either shouldn't have brought up that it wasn't rvs or you should let us know now. This whole not now crap looks more scummy than anything else. Like you're afraid of slipping something.

This combined with a complete lack of substance in your posts warrants an
UNVOTE:
VOTE: SiN

[qwints]

And Kthxbye makes his fourth vote in two pages. Is that normal for you, Kthxbye? It looks like this is your first game back after your absence, but I don't see evidence of that in your old games. I'm also pretty sure that I know the reason for SiN's vote since he implies it in that post.
