I agree and disagree. Like I think most players have a tendency to look at things in kinda black and white-this is scummy/not scummy but there's still "scummy" play that is just bad play.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sure, but you don't gum up the thread with thoughts like that unless you're pointing out that it's town being not-very-towny.

Bory seems to have a "mind of a programmer"

You say 'strange' is not scumreading, but by lumping Impede and Bory in with Lapsa, whom you have scumread, you're drawing a not so subtle line of comparison between them. The world not being black and white isn't a good answer to inquiry about this; can you go into more detail about WHY that list of people is acting 'strange', and what it means for your reads list over all?

I've already explained what makes them all strange. It's not that much to read the last 2 or so pages. And I explained why I scumread Lapsa. All 3 are strange. 1 I scumread hard.

This is not an answer.
What does strange mean? If it's just an empty word then why are you using it?

I have no idea why I have to press this hard for someone's opinion on people they're already talking about.

All I see you is saying that you think they're acting strange. What does 'strange' mean, if it doesn't mean a scum read? It looks a lot like a way to fence sit, to me.

I think it's strange you can't determine what strange means.

I don't think the things that you're saying are anywhere near as clear or helpful as you think they are.

Yeah. I understand you scumread Lapsa. That doesn't explain what you're trying to do with Impede and Bory.

Make up your mind. I wasn't the one who suggested a PL on you page 1.

I still don't know what you were hoping to achieve. I can't see any response to that, organic or fabricated, being AI... especially because anyone in their right mind already suspects that you only posted it to stir the pot, so any reactions you get are WIFOM.
This post is a bit weird, cause I wasn't talking about you. But, the way you answered it is weird for someone you are suspicious of.

i sympathize with kokichi here becuase i've been in the same position. noticing things that are strange isn't necessarily some attempt to avoid scumhunting, it can just as easily be town attempting to point out what they're noticing about the gamestate, even if not all of it falls immediately into town/scum.

I misread your statement. "I think I found the person" could very easily have been interpreted as referring to me. Hence the "make up your mind". Also, how is my answer weird? I've since explained myself.

What's your goal here KO? I think that's what everyone is trying to understand. Your line(s) of questioning are distinctly directionless, as was your opening scumclaim. If you really want to investigate Lapsa you would be better off focusing your effort rather than chasing rabbit holes. We have enough time to evaluate potential scum that certain leans can be followed up on as we gain additional content. Fence sitting and contributing to town directionlessness is scummy behavior.

Either you're not reading or you are just trying to fit in. Because I clearly tried to engage with him, and he has ignored me for the most part.
