Open 391 - Theft on Cookie Island - Town Wins

Seems like buddying with Om of the Nom. But AcRv is pretty scummy.

Speaking of 'fluff', and lack of content for that matter. Why buddying?

And Om, why exactly is Amrun town. I never like when people make quick town reads like that.

[Om of the Nom]

Amrun is town because I feel she believes what she says no matter how right or wrong she may be, and her posts feel quite town motivated.

Can you explain how you know that her posts have integrity? I think I am questioning you more then her now, if anything she is null because she really hasn't posted any content.......how can you label her as town?

[Om of the Nom]

I can't really explain it. She reads like that to me, so if you can't see it I don't blame you.

Have you played games with her before?

[Amrun]

Why wouldn't you like when people make quick town reads? What is the motivation of questioning early townreads?

[Om of the Nom]

Yes I've played with Amrun before.

To answer your second question first, scum like to buddy up quickly on Day 1. So when someone(om) throws out a defense of someone saying they are town, I like to know their reasoning for such.

And I guess I just kind of answered your first question as well. But to expand on that, this game is about being distrusting of people. When someone is putting someone in the trusted townie category barely out of RVS, that throws up red flags.

[Om of the Nom]

I never said Amrun is def. town. I don't trust her completely. She reads as very town, but she ain't 100% confirmed.

I disagree with you so completely. I normally use this as a scumtell, but usually more so when it's sneakier and not forthright.

There is absolutely no reason to undermine early townreads. It helps scum and scum alone, and so many scum (especially newb scum) get scared of vanishing mislynches and try to go "WAIT WAIT THERE'S NO REASON TO CALL HIM TOWN!"

I've caught many scum this way before.

[Chrimi]

VOTE: Om
I really can't follow your logic. If you're going to say she's town, be a little specific please.

[Om of the Nom]

Basically it boils down to "I think Amrun is town because of gut." If you can't follow that then I honsetly don't know what to say.

[Chrimi]

Because of gut?

I get thinking someone is scummy off of gut and that they seem kind of towny, but just flat out saying that you trust her because of gut seems kind of silly.

[Om of the Nom]

It's gut, but not mindless gut. It's gut with a reason.

[Amrun]

Yeah, and Chrimi falls right into the scumtell even after it's explained. Vote now not rvs.

[Chrimi]

Gut with a reason.

Doesn't specify reason.

Asks for reason, says reason is gut.

Not mindless gut, gut with a reason.

Asks for reason.

...

[AcRv]

Because what Chrimi said isn't neccessarily fluff.

... Please explain how saying "I'm pretty sure my vote is on scum" while self-voting isn't necessarily fluff.

[Om of the Nom]

Because Chrimi is obviously claiming scum :V

[AcRv]

Because Chrimi is obviously claiming scum :V

Of course, that makes sense
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Chrimi

Although, more seriously, do you have a decent explanation as to why it isn't necessarily fluff?

[Om of the Nom]

I have a feeling that this is deja-vu, didn't you make this same argument towards me in the previous game?

Anyway, I don't really have a good explanaation, as I completely forgot that Chrimi was voting himself.

[AcRv]

If that first line is directed at me and is referring to Page 2, then no, back then I said that stating my opinion isn't scummy. Not that two people both posted fluff and that you only targetted one of them for it.

[Thomith]

Amrun is town because I feel she believes what she says no matter how right or wrong she may be,

That is a towntell? Scum can "believe" what they are saying no matter what, i don't see how this part of your post makes her town.
Chrimi om did specify the reason, maybe you should go back and check.

[Amrun]

Scum can "believe" what they are saying no matter what

What? No, they can't.

[Thomith]

they can at least act like it, which was my point.

[Guy_Named_Riggs]

How does self-voting automatically confirm someone as scum?
