could this be scum overreager
to get a claim out, and
wanting to fake lucidity
of "not knowing he wasn't on L-1". is 2 minutes enough to reread the last three pages, then make that post? this may just be a situation of me being old, but it seems like a very short window of time. whipper snappers please chime in!

yes, it's called thinking through a situation instead of just blindly jumping to conclusions.

you should try it some time.

i'd actually like to hone into why this is a terrible statement overall - a little theory based but it's what i am thinking

for an opinion to be scummy, there has to be
scum
intent. this is something easy to say but hard to "prove". something to note is that the reverse is also true with having a town opinion. with this in mind, i'd like to re-examine what klick is saying here

what on
earth
would put my alignment toward scum for saying that i disagree with hoopla's ways of playing the game? town blocs are absolutely not essential nor are they always trusted, especially by people who are in and not in them (which is how they survive) - so how does the fact that I am saying that the "leader" of a town bloc, who I also think will flip scum, should not be trusted????????????????????????? this is what i meant above by scummy for an opinion, not an alignment based opinion

Isn't this flawed from your perspective?
You just said Hoopla is scum, and even voted there.
Yet here you already slip from that narrative, since to you this scenario would be two scumbuddies acting, not me trying to "attack his way out of her scum read on him"..? :igmeou:

I do not know how long you have been inactive, but that is not even the wildest claim I've seen and some of them turn out to be fake. :]
People use their imaginations and the Normal guidelines permit a lot nowadays.
Furthermore, speculating roles existance could be dangerous for town in these situations because you might end up giving the scum fakeclaim ideas.. :]
And even more, don't be disappointed if none of those roles you specified end up being in the game.
That's just how unpredictable Normal games are now.

Anyone else think we were closing in on scum earlier, considering there are now FOUR wagons on pretty much equal footing?
Again.
Flippynips-wagon fell apart due to the claim, obviously, but what about Gobbledy?
No claims, AND NOT MANY POSTS TO MAKE PEOPLE RECONSIDER, yet somehow it wasn't pushed through.

from my eyes, it looks like it's come down to gobbledygook, me and una. gypyx has never really been a serious candidate, and although he's a polarising character, there are too many players that have him as newbtown to get a majority there.

notscience, Battle Mage, bob3141 and Gypyx are the current game stallers.

make something happen.

move your vote.

Recap of the current wagons :

Goobledygook : built itself progresively, only to be suddenly stopped upon reaching L-1 without any good reason

FlippyNips : quick wagon, got cut off by Flippy's claim

Gypyx : (ofc i'm kinda biased on this one) wagon that kinda "lurked" as a possibility, started to pick up the pace in response to Gooble reaching L-1

Hoopla : i'm not feeling good about this wagon, but that's probably because i'm TR'ing hoopla

Una : weird wagon considering the peoples on it, and the fact that it's kinda stalling : scum / lynchbait for later?

I still think thar gooble is scum, and considering that nothing new comes from him VOTE: gooble

eh, hiraki goes okay, i guess. though i am starting to find his lack of curiosity about my alignment suspicious. seems like he picked a position on me early and is just sticking with it.

of course, cooldog is doing the same thing re: me. but black & white thinking appears to be the status quo for cooldog, so lack of curiosity doesn't seem as much of a tell for him.

yeah. But if you fake claim that you are actually stupid. We can confirm it. The only way you can get away with the ruit vendor is to make your scum bud say they got the fruit. Very risky plays. Very fucking risky as scum.

very lazy posting here. I mean, you throw out reads and bullshit. Anyone can do that. I can see scum with your short and lazy playstyle. Trying to fly under the radar.

????????????????????????? this is upper echelon so a town read??????????

also why is that everyone who is "lynchbait" is at the top of your list? scum =/= lynchbait?
I'm at least leaning town on Espeslot and wouldn't want to lynch there today, yeah. 99 was that good. Admittedly I don't have much else to base that read on. But it's better than everyone below.

Gypyx and gobble aren't town because they're lynchbait, though admittedly I imagine there's some correlation between being VI-like and being read as obvtown. Besides, I have 5 townreads and the ones that I listed as 'lynchbait' are numbers 1 and 3. I've admitted that numbers 4 and 5 aren't that strong.

Also, to quote your signature phrase: why does this matter???
In post 861, Klick wrote:The traitor stuff is legit, and he's trying to scumhunt and getting frustrated that it's not working.
disregarding the first part, why can't scum also be frustrated with "scumhunting" that isn't working? because he's new?
This is based in the fact that scum have to fake scumhunting, while town are legitimately trying to solve the game. Scum have no reason to get frustrated that they're getting ignored - getting ignored is generally good for scum. They don't need to be listened to, they just need to not be lynched. And if they're frustrated that they aren't being listened to, they're probably more frustrated with their scum play than their town play, and thus the game thread isn't their go-to place to vent that frustration.

Town are trying to find scum and hear from other town. If they're getting ignored, they're not accomplishing their goal. That's frustrating.
