What's the point of a townblock if not to work together to figure out who the scum are? Can one not call someone town without including them in such a group? I guess I could be wrong here.In post 2422, Messiah Complex wrote:I don't understand what this is.

For real?
Also it sounds like you're saying Stup can't be town because he can't scumhunt, but that would be ridiculous. So what were you actually trying to say?
On first read your original post sounded like it was calling me town but on a different wavelength, though I suppose given your past posts this probably isn't what you meant.
The situations are very comparable, even if "counterargument" wasn't incredibly good word choice on my part. The no-matter-what attitude precludes claims.In post 2422, Messiah Complex wrote:That isn't what irony is and the two situations aren't even remotely comparable.In post 2421, Cephrir wrote:Yes, there is scum motivation. Town do still do it, though. I'm sure I could easily produce examples of this too if I felt like it. It's not enough to lynch on. I understand there are unrelated suspicions on the slot, and that's legitimate.It's ironic that you won't brook any counterargument for lynching SpyreX when, you know, you're lynching him for lynching someone without waiting for a counterargument.And frankly I find the "here's two examples of deliberate scum quickhammers so that must be what's happeneing here" logic disingenuous.
And what I presented isn't "logic," it's evidence--that scum can and will take opportunities to quickhammer if it benefits them, especially if they think they can talk their way out of it on the other side (which Spyrex clearly does). And given the limited information Spy has provided, the quickhammeronlybenefitted him as scum.
No shit. I could provide evidence via two examples for a lot of things that could easily not apply to this game.
You're right, it is literally impossible that town would do this.In post 2422, Messiah Complex wrote:I'm going to reiterate that:the quickhammeronlybenefitted him if he got a scum role PM.
If he really was town whose power hinges on his having the (or multiple) hammer(s), he could have just...waited. And hammered later. But he didn't. Because he's scum.

Oh wait no town quickhammer all the time.
Not everyone acts in a way that benefits them all the time. Actors are not perfectly rational. This argument is fucking terrible. And there are decent arguments for the same thing floating around but you're still latching on to the one easy, really salient point. Color me unimpressed.
