Hello Penguin, I see you there, guess what I’ve got for you?

Once, a long long time ago, when you were still a glimmer in your father's eye, I had mercy on a player who brought up a detailed personal sob story. This player is still on the site. The story was completely false, and the player was scum. She argue that as scum, you use anything you can to your advantage.

Then I started to notice that players that talk about out-of-game topics, bring up sad excuses etc., definitely lean scum and I always give them flak.

I don’t disagree that making excuses for not posting is scummy, but it also depends a lot on what I think of the person and what said excuse is.

“I’ve been really busy will get to this soon” — generic excuse, has time to come to thread but not giving reads, ++scum

“I think I have a serious illness that can be life threatening in the middle of a global pandemic” — I don’t think lilith is the type of person who tells a lie of this magnitude to a bunch of people who care about her and will be worried about her RL well-being just to win a mafiagame +NAI

I’m not denying some people would lie about that sort of thing. I’ve definitely heard of cases where people have treated the game as “anything is morally justified within the bounds of mafia” and there’s certainly a couple of players I won’t name who I would not give even the slightest pass based on claims about IRL, either bc they’ve shown that they’ll lie for advantage about serious things, or because they themselves insist on being inhumane towards other players using the “it’s a game” justification. I don’t think lilith is that way at all based on the various interactions and games I’ve played with her in over the last few months

So: she gets a pass for today, and if she doesn’t pick it up soon/once recovered then I’ll flip her

Pine now has a notoriously good scumgame and is actively more enthusiastic when rolling scum (although he can strategically lurk). It’s ++town for me that he let himself be replaced instead of hitting the minimum activity requirements, which is something he could definitely have done if he was scum and lurking intentionally instead of bc he just wasn’t engaged as town

it's so funny that you're talking about your own slot, one that you got the role pm for, as "++town for you"

Because we still have plenty of time and it doesn't seem like discussion is remotely done.

And since then, the site meta has shifted to where that is no longer acceptable and this person would probably get quite a negative reception for doing this today.

@Menalque
I have been at times busy (this game for example, I had a publishing deadline to respect) but once my timetable cleared up, I fulfilled my obligations.

You seem to have correctly intuited that this is, indeed, part of the reason why I think you’re likely to be scum!

I don't see why I should be able to predict the reads of someone who just entered the game with better than random accuracy (assuming as you have already stated that they are not just consensus).

There was a negative reaction back then, too.

But that’s not really what I’m asking, what I’m really asking is “who do you think could be a slot I think is so scummy as to term it “obvscum” but that hasn’t seen pressure yet?”
