who rolls scum 60% of the time???????how could anyone take that seriously? PLUS IT WAS RVS
anyone who has used that as a way to scum hunt me has a good chance of being scum trying to take advantage of something like that!
please not this again.

You need to do shit too.

The uber ignorance of wagon is something I did a lot when I was new and scum. Badvibes, but slight.

because i havn't posted much or scum hunted?!?!?

crappy. i do that as town sometimes. You can't meta me because the only type of gameplay you have seen from me is my town PR play
So when you're a town PR (who was outed and therefore roleblocked every night) you come right out and scum hunt openly, but when you're a vanilla civ you don't?
did i say i was VT?
no. what i said was you have seen my "town pr game style" and it is way to early to be meta reading!
so trying to use "he publicly scum reads and what not as town" isn't valid
you crumbed it pretty hard man

it seems here that you even recognize that dunnstral's hop-ons are scummy - why place such a huge divide between the two?
Thanks! And it's not that I think it's scummy, that's not what I was pointing out. I was laughing that he made nearly the exact same post as that I complained about before. Also the divide between "null" and "lean scum" is... not huge.

Why no vote? Also, I don't think you've given your read on the Cy/Espe slot, I'd like to hear that.
i'm waiting on schadd. cy had a really awkward rvs and nothing else he did really stood out to me. nothing espe has done has looked particularly townie to me, either - i'd be willing to lynch there.
In post 715, Keychain wrote: Regarding Dunnstral vs EE: For me, Dunnstral is null. Voting there is literally a lurker-lynch. It looks a lot like he's only skimming a couple of recent posts each time he says anything, from his response to me and his vote on Espe. Your is seriously weird. Dunnstral is an awful lynch for today and I'm sure you can do better than that.
EE is also lurking but his actions have been considerably more scummy. Every time someone votes him he appears and splashes around a bit. It doesn't seem like uninvested town, who I don't think would be so bothered by a bit of pressure. and were particularly bad as posts that looked like he was trying to exist in the game but contributed exactly nothing.
i'm not really sure why there's such a huge divide between the two to you, and to me dunn's actions seem a lot scummier. i don't think only responding to posts about you is a scumtell, at least when it comes to lurkers. i say this because there have been games i've been in that i've found it hard to get into and i find myself only responding to either comments about me or questions directed towards me. dunnstral, on the other hand, only seems to hop in to vote the consensus wagon. i'm not saying either are the best lynch today - what i'm saying is that the people who want an everyone else lynch should really be looking at dunnstral instead.
In post 715, Keychain wrote: What benefit do you get out of trying to equalise the two?
why are you assuming that i'm scum here? i'm really not sure what to make of this comment. i would think confbias but you don't seem to show that anywhere else. why do you assume that i have some ulterior motive or gain some benefit out of examining dunnstral, as opposed to it being my actual thoughts and a genuine attempt to get into this game?
A crucial part of my towngame is throwing out my good reads to tunnel on town, don't you know? :wink: not sure why you'd think I'm confbiasing on you when I've told you I strongly townread your slot though.

I'll concede that my reasoning for EE isn't strong, but I still don't like how you're trying to talk me into scumreading a slot that has done nothing. I'm happy to leave him until he can get into the game.

I'm referring to your persistence in comparing the two, as shown in these posts.

If you are town, you must have a reason. I scumread Cy for trying to analyse an absent player and the situation roughly applies here too. Your actions make sense as town if you're suspicious of the EE wagon and you're looking for scum on it. But you say you're suspicious of Dunn, and you're trying to move people compromising on a lurker onto a
different
lurker. Do you see why that might set off alarm bells for me?
You're under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.

where did you say that? you said i seemed a lot scummier than firaja in and you said you were waiting to talk about your read on me in . the confbias thing wasn't necessarily to imply that you were scumreading me, it's just a comment that i feel would come from someone who was confbiased on someone else - assuming by default that they're scum in their questioning.

ah, i think i understand a bit more now. people voting everyone else over dunnstral seems like an inconsistency to me, and i try to point those out whenever i see them. besides, there's a lot to be gained from hearing people's reasoning on one over the other, and it could even be an indicator of associatives later in the game after we have some flips. i
am
suspicious of the ee wagon, if only because i'm not sure why it exists over another one - it doesn't mean i can't be suspicious of dunn. in fact, the two go together strongly. if i'm suspicious of dunn then the ee wagon popping up instead of him could indicate scum, and vice versa - if i'm suspicious of the ee wagon then it might indicate something about the dunn wagon that didn't pop up.

if we were going to have a compromise lynch then i'd rather have the better one anyways.
