For the record -

if Ajax flips scum as I expect I am mounting Magua's head on a pike tomorrow! You heard it here first.

Grey still wants Fonzie dead. We are currently discussing whether Magua / KK / Fonz makes for better possible partners pending the upcoming flip.

You heard it there second:

That's where my heart is at the moment.


If I was right I fully expect the sweet glory. ;D I'm pretty damn certain that Magua is scum if Ajax is. KK isn't on the same certainty tier but still decently scummy.

I understand that this context gets lost in your quote stripes, so I'm going to point it back out to you.

It may also be inferred from the fact that I called Quilford town as he was voting Ajax, etc, but I forgive you for missing that because it doesn't lend itself to scoring points nearly as well.

Ajax hit L-1, so my objectives changed from "try to see what people think about hito" to "get theamatuer lynched over Ajax." This is because
Ajax is my scumbuddy
I think theamatuer is more likely to be scum than Ajax, so would prefer him lynched.

But I've seen, repeatedly, over and over, town lynched for saying things that are patently stupid that everyone takes for a slip and goes aha.

I can continue to harp on why this argument is bad, but etc.


Blah blah blah whut? You think scum-slips don't exist? How do you find anyone scum ever Magua?

Don't answer that I know you don't scum-hunt but Town-hunt so your answer will not be useful in any fashion other than to increase our back and forth word count.

But the fact remains -

Captain Ajax said about Quilford's posting "I read his posts and am satisfied with the response"
Later he votes Quilford over posts that were made PRIOR to the above line. Posts he was ostensibly satisfied with.
When questioned about his Quilford vote he says "I really wasn't actually reading him just skimming"

There is no way on God's Green Earth that you can say "Yes, that's not scummy as fuck" unless you think he is a VI of epic proportions. I mean a Foreseen Circumstance / Shotty level VI. Having looked briefly at Geezer Mafia there is no way you can claim that.

So no, I do believe he's slipped in that he's inventing his actions and motivations for his vote. And he needs rope.

So, for my own

morbid curiosity, to Hito (and to a lesser extent MoI), if Ajax is lynched and flips town, do I get to put your heads on pikes tomorrow?

Since we've hydra'd and you know how I work, I have to wonder simply how deliberately dense you're being.

So I'll repeat it in small, simple words that hopefully you can comprehend. If it makes you feel more comfortable, I could throw in repeated quotes in here, make it feel like home.

Scum (outside of newbscum who don't know better) do not 'slip'. All those cute slips of the tongue[1] like, "Go ahead and vote him, I'm sure he'll flip town" instead of "I'm sure he'll flip scum" -- those do not come from scum any more often than they come from town. And since there are more town, and because scum have an incentive to re-read their posts for consistency that town don't and so are arguably less likely to do it, it's stupid. Saying, "LOLOLOL SLIP" is stupid. I could repeat stupid here a lot more, but, it'd be stupid.

However, I like (<--- sardonic) your conflating of "scumhunt" with "scumslip" like it's impossible to catch scum without going "LOLOLOL SLIP". Keep that up in the future.

I've done this. As town. Sometimes intentionally (lying about my reasons for voting someone to see what happens), sometimes unintentionally (post, sleep, post something different because entirely different frame of mind).

I'm not, and this is the key you seem to be missing, even saying you're wrong. Ajax could be scum (though I think the chance of him being scum is lower than the chance of amatuer being scum.) I'm not trying to get you nor Quilford to change your votes because I think you're both town.

I'm saying, going "LOLOLOLOL SLIP" and then turning off your brain (by saying "There's
no way
town would ever do this...") is stupid. And, to tie this all up in a neat little bow, that's exactly what T-Bone looked like he was doing. Not you, not Quilford.

[1] I originally wrote "slips of the town," the irony of which did not escape me.

Thank you for throwing some bullshit to respond to. I appreaciate it while we wait for someone to hammer scum-Ajax.

On that end a quick question – do you think scum-TheAm being put up as a viable counterwagon to Town-Ajax dithers and delays this much before hammering him after the Case I put out?

But back to this post by you.

This was a response to my . Which was a response to your . Which you quoted but did not link but was from my

261 was my unified case on Ajax as scum. No mention of T-Bone at all. You took my point 3 from 261 and responded to it saying “this is simple I don’t believe in scum-slips / the Tooth Fairy / Santa Claus”.

Nothing in post 261 has anything to do with T-Bone or Quilford.

So this Faux “You are losing context” statement is bullshit! Thanks for playing!

I’d like to see your unified case on TheAm. It would be good reading.

Hey Magua while you are getting all geared up to be insulting and dismissive in your next post -

Why in the hell do you have a Town read on me? I'm completely serious in this.

You claim my number 1 scum-read isn't scum (although you are not disagreeing with me either).
You claim my read on Fonz (in a group with KK and yourself) as possible scum is absurd.
I'm calling your slot scum.

Why in the hell if Town-Magua sees all this from MoI does he think MoI-Town?

You said "Magua ducked the issue hiding behind “I’m not reading your posts” after saying “Anyone who thinks this is scummy should feel bad”.". THE PERSON I SAID THAT TO WAS T-BONE. THAT IS THE CONTEXT WHICH YOU HAVE LOST. THAT'S HOW T-BONE FIGURES INTO THE GODDAMN CONVERSATION.

Let's see. Other stuff: You want to see my case on theamatuer. Here's my response: No.

You want to know why I have a townread on you: Magic.

Oh, but I do want to respond to this quote, because I like it:

In order of response, no, I'm not saying Ajax isn't scum, I'm saying I'm more confident theamatuer is scum than he is, yes, Fonz as possible scum is absurd, yes, you're calling me scum.

So I'm giving you a 0.5/3.

Luckily(?), I can hold it into my head that you can be wrong and still be town.

But, no, seriously, I'm not going to explain my townread on you, because it is literally of zero help in any circumstance, whether I'm right or wrong, for you to know how I read you. And second, I'm not going to try to convince you of scum-theamatuer.
You see, I'm slowrolling the Ajax lynch.
You're a smart cookie and you've read the evidence and you've come to your conclusion. I'm mor einterested in the people who have not yet come to a conclusion.

Gosh, this was fun. We should do this more often.

Ok, then I’ll just go with the working assumption you are scum who knows I’m Town because I’m not in your QT and roll with that until I have reason to think otherwise.

You are right … this was fun and enlightening.

@TheAm -
I'm wondering what is holding you back from hammering Ajax. You've now dropped two "Pause" items that had obvious answers as an excuse not to hammer him. Are you worried he will flip Town?

Why are you only picking me out of the bandwagon Magua? 5 other players are voting for Ajax. Is it because MoI, Hito, Quil, etc. have posted lots and lots compared to me so it makes sense to attack the player who has posted the least? That's all it looks like to me. Ajax has been scummy no doubt about it. So has Theamatuer. I needed a tipping point, and Quil provided one that I agreed with (and was a point I was personally trying to get at pre-vacation). It's a good vote regardless of flip.

Speaking of votes, you made a point to vote Hito over Thematuer for whatever reason. Now that Ajax has moved to L-1, that's the tipping point that changes your vote? All that Theamatuer did between then and now is make two excuses to not hammer Ajax....speaking of...

Why isn't Theamatuer voting Ajax exactly? Same reason I didn't like Ajax not voting Goeth earlier. If you're town, you know that you are 100% town and automatically every other player has a better chance of being scum than you. With the alternative lynch being you, why would you not want to lynch Ajax?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's because of your #242 that I replied to in #243 asking about (that you have already replied to me in #244, etc).

You're welcome to constitute some sort of attack out of me responding to your post, and then having to repeat over and over that I was responding to your post to MoI, saying, "OMG MAGUA WHY DO YOU KEEP MENTIONING MY NAME". I look forward to reading it.

Because a vote on hitogoroshi to try to stir up discussion on hitogoroshi doesn't matter if Ajax is getting hammered.

Just got back from DC and found out I've apparently FAILED two classes this semester. Two classes in which I should've had A's. Will try to catch up tomorrow or Wednesday. If someone wants to hammer be my guest, but I'm not making a move until I get around to catching up.
