Also, I am somewhat "flailing" because I hate when people use bullshit tells like "passive voice" and things like that. Now, if a person is using meta (is person X only says Y when they are scum and not town), that's different. But in my short time playing, I have found that "grammar" scumslips are the most unreliables ones. (The most often stupid example being "he said town instead of us/we!")
Again, if you look back at Newbie 1368, people thought I was scum in it because of the same posting style because I was pissed off against a BS tell. (And yes, blah blah blah self-meta, I am just pointing out that I really think those things are BS without meta to back it up.)
It is also why I understand Jason's reluctance to share why Amrun is scummy, as he may have enough data to back up his own read but not enough to justify to town. If he hasn't presented a case by mid to late day, it is worth looking into then, but for now I see no harm in letting him continue to work the case if he can. I think he's been vague enough that he hasn't tipped off Amrun to whatever made Jason get scumvibes in the first place.

Discrediting the argument does not make it go away.In post 109, ChannelDelibird wrote:Oh, if you were just joking, ignore me. If it was some kind of serious point, pretend you were joking.
This reeks of scum caught for the wrong reasons and "why aren't they lynching the scummy newb." Also, calling your own scumhunting bad while also putting down someone voting for you is just all sorts of scummaliciousness.In post 89, LnGrrrR wrote:Do you really actually believe this? I fully explained what I meant the next post, after I realized some people obviously aren't familiar with the English language.In post 82, ChannelDelibird wrote:From what I've seen of Jason, no reason to think he's more likely to behave this way as scum than town. See #51 for actual psychological insight into a KILLER (passive voice to go "naked votes are frowned upon" rather than "I am frowning upon your naked vote" is what you say when you want to avoid owernship of your words).
If I were to say something like, "Lying about your claim at L-2 is frowned upon", would you still think that's the "sign of a KILLER"? (Also, I love the way you made sure to capitalize that word to add extra emphasis to your bullshit "scumhunt".)
Lets just get this straight here:
Squilly votes and unvotes nakedly twice and once with a horrible explanation, and hasn't really posted since then = newbtown, totally excusable
LnGrrrR uses the passive voice = obvscum
I'm glad Im not the only one who sucks at scumhunting his game. Join the club Channel.
This, like a few other things, comes from the mindset that CDB and I are both town. You're also not the person posting the most, not that posting = content anyway.In post 90, LnGrrrR wrote:Hmm... Well, what did I say about it when I first brought it up?In post 85, Amrun wrote:I wasn't sure at first but he's literally not even attempting to draw a conclusion from it, so yes.In post 84, ChannelDelibird wrote:And this whole "mysterious voting triangle" is the sort of meaningless coincidence that scum like to point out in lieu of actually scumhunting.
This is a good wagon. Amrun is pleased.
Also not a fan of the weird triangle between Amrun, ChannelDelibird and Squilly.Squilly has only "seriously" voted both of you, you and CDB both voted for each other in RVS, and then you both voted me back to back. Not sure what to make of it, but it feels off to me.Again, I don't know what to make of it. Something about it feels off, but Im not sure how. I know, Im totally scum for not having the team down rock solid by the whopping fourth page of this game, and goodness forbid I try to post something that isn't a total lead. I should just be like Jason and say "Hey this guy is scum!" and then I wouldn't be suspicious at all. Or just sheep everyone else's vote like Squilly. Or just lurk like half the people in the thread. Then I'd be obvtown!I don't know that it is necessarily "indicative" of anything... As I just said above, not sure what to make of it but it feels off. Just a gut reaction that there's too much synchronicity there.
Amrun, Channel, if you are town, step up your game. I'm really the main person posting so I know it's hard to find other interactions, but try to stop tunneling anyways and take a look.

Yes and they will be disclosed when i put them into a single post in the thread.In post 107, StubbsKVM wrote:Jason, I don't really get what you're doing. Do you have any other reads besides Amrun?
Please explain what else I didn't say, and what you think I should have said.In post 121, Amrun wrote:I really don't care about the fact that he used passive voice. It's the context, and what else he DIDN'T say in that post, and then his reactions to that.
Really what is the point in this? Seems like nothing more than a distraction.In post 120, fferyllt wrote:I'm having a look for passive voice in LnnnGrrrR's town game here:
