The first point about activity is pretty wack. I lurk as town, especially if I don't think I'll be able to post something worthwhile until I have more time to think about what to say. Perhaps in my other games I'm more into the game and don't need to do a lot of thinking to post coherently and effectively, while this game contains a lot fo new information which has to be digested and processed. Just a hypothetical that often applies to my own game-to-game lurking. Its a poor argument and one that I think should be disallowed, but that's neither here nor there. I don't consider "being defensive" a scumtell
This is telling to me. Was in reference to Senjai being lurkerish, but he defends it by then ranting on about how he likes to play lurkerish, couple this with comments like 'IN MY OTHER GAMES I'M MORE INTO THE GAME' and 'I DON'T CONSIDER BEING DEFENSIVE AS A SCUMTELL'. It's not a huge tell, but when someone waffles on about how they are planning to be lurkerish, tries to defend that position, and then finishes up with 'its ok to be defensive' (guilty conscience) it seems somewhat scummerish.

In your first real post, you said that Benmage came off scummier than me, so either him essentially active lurking for a week you thought was an improvement in his play, or I've recently done something to make you think I'm scum. I'll give you some credit and assume the latter, but I'd like to see your case against me.
Trust me, BM hasn't done anything impressive today. But upon rereading I noticed subtle things in your argumentation that I really don't like. Not enough to make me certain you're scum. I already tried typing this post up once and lost it, so apologies if its a little under-developed.
@BM- A lot of the evasiveness comes from the fact that you've commented on very little of the actual game. I understand you're catching up and all, but you've given us essentially nothing so far as your reads on players besides Chaos. Your incremental catch-up posts are useless if you don't give any information in them besides a few cryptic comments. Who's scum?
And then, accuses someone else of being lurkerish when he just defended another player and himself on lurkerism.

He claimed cop.
He claimed innocent result on Chaos last night.
There is a vote count 2 posts above yours.
So...why aren't we lynching Vijay? I don't buy full cop + 1-shot cop, especially not with three neighbors. 1-shot cop would make sense, full cop wouldn't. Both most definitely wouldn't.
VOTE: Vijay
P.S. There wasn't a vote count when I made the quoted post, only a placeholder from DV. Thanks for the sass though, keeps it interesting.

Consider the possibility that he had just watched his claim go up in flames with the NK and perhaps didn't want to make his partner completely obvious. This is such a shitty argument for your innocence it hurts.
This is what I think you are talking about ben. Wants to bus vijay but is nervous that he might have hammered, and skims through without seeing the VC. I'm not sure if the whole placeholder thing was true or not, I wasn't on at the time, but if there is a placeholder dude, I would be assuming a votecount is coming along pretty soon.
Is all I found.
Om's reaction last night seemed genuine, and from my experience town are usually more heated in arguments than scum. Not always the case, but Om didn't seem to be faking it. I need to reassess my claim on him, as I got more and more confident he was scum as we were arguing, and I am pretty sure it was motivated by OMGUS. That being said, his pigeon holing of me and defiance to read the rest of the thread bothers me.
The case on Elias seems considerable, but nothing amazing. I'm still not sure if this is what you were getting at benmage.
