Can we pretend I never argued that point? I'm going to blame the pain killers.
It does too! Less about talah's actual view and more about your reaction to talah bringing up meta.In post 2125, DeasVail wrote:You are using talah's view of my scum-meta though, so this doesn't quite cut it!
Nope, Penguin is not a non-read; started with a scumread on Roger, changed my mind, changed back, then I don't what the hell to think with the replace out. So gave penguin a clean slate and leaning town atm.In post 2133, Egg wrote: So Penguin is a non-read because your previous read on the slot is considered a "bias" to you? No. If Roger was scummy, that's scum points against the slot. And there's no reason for Deas to be a non-read. I don't like this response.
well you stick to your "content" and I'll stick to my "feelings"(I ain't afraid to have them >.<)In post 2143, PeregrineV wrote:I'm not talking feelings. I'm talking content-wise.
My thoughts on mastin are that I'm leaning slightly scum - a lot of really odd reads and very keen to dissociate herself from the wagons yesterday. If you'd like to tell me what is soIn post 2155, 4nxi3ty wrote:Damon, thoughts on mastin?
btw, so you know, I think your hops on luca, rach, and snowstorm areinterestingalong with mastin's scumread of you.
Honestly, I don't care that you hate this slot. I absolutely don't. What I want from you is any indication that you're aware that scum teams usually have multiple members and you don't appear to be looking anywhere but my slot. If I flip town where are you looking next?In post 2130, Yates wrote:Not posting is not the same as not reading. He was posting for 5 days after his last post here.

Actually I didn't check because I don't care. He stopped posting in this game on page 52, whether or not he posted elsewhere, he clearly had quit this game long before you actually got around to lynching anyone. Although I see that Nero took care of this so I suppose we'll leave it at that.
The first part of this is fair. I checked and Talah had 7 votes when pisskop ACTUALLY stopped posting [March 24]. The second part, though, is actually part of his scum case. That's a vote park. Vote parking is scummy.In post 2117, TheWayItEnds wrote:7 people were still not on either of the leading wagons. With his vote that he hasn't moved since page 29.
Just out of curiosity, how long does a vote have to sit on 1 person before it becomes a scum claim? Because FYI your votes been on me for 14 pages. Does that make it scummy now?
Yeah. Not why I'm voting your slot but it is likely and just more fuel for the fire.In post 2117, TheWayItEnds wrote:And seriously if the case against me is that one of the 2 people off the scum wagon HAS to be scum
Okay, but it's still not a valid reason considering that there was no one playing this slot to place his vote.
My actual reason for voting pisskop is for his misreps and horrible play. Feel free to just look at the exchanges he had with me in ISO if you want the short short version of why I hate your slot. You have done nothing to improve it and I see no reason not to see it lynched.
I'm actually able to type a little better from work and on fewer pharmaceutical grade pain killers so my activity should be somewhat better.

The bottom line is that I HATED pisskop. Please see above. I'm not reading TWIE independent of his predecessor.

I dont. And also I never said Mastin was scum for lurking.In post 2136, Yates wrote:Do I have to be the one to say it? Fine - cognitive dissonance. TWIE's claiming his slot isn't scummy because his predecessor was lurking to the point it got replaced. Okay. Might buy it. But then he says Mastin *is* scum for lurking even though - of the two - MASTIN was the one that posted a V/LA in the game. Frankly, Mastin should probably replace out [I know that probably comes across as cold but she's got more important crap to deal with]. Still, you can't have two conflicting standards when it comes to activity and how it reflects upon someone's alignment.In post 2132, AngryPidgeon wrote:... lurking like pisskop... the defense really looks like an attempt to make mastin look bad instead.
What the fuck even is this? Yates posted in the quote thats in my post that I don't have reads where my reads have literally just finished being posted. I'm not being proud of the reads, I'm pointing them out.In post 2139, AngryPidgeon wrote:More on this. TWIE is so proud of his 2 scum and 3 townreads? I mean we are on page 100+ or something of a large normal and he has reads on < 1/3 of the player list, woooo. I dont see why anyone is so proud of that. People should have at least moderate opinions on half the players in the game at this point if not more than that.In post 2132, AngryPidgeon wrote:"to the tune of"..?

It's just logical thinking... Rach wasn't playing a good game. She was widely suspected and had done nothing at all. If she was scum she wouldn't be in a very favorable position and would most likely end up lynched. Her team mates would be pretty aware of that and they'd probably find that it would be better for them in the long term to bus her than to defend her and risk having her flip later.In post 2115, Yates wrote:I sort of see what you are saying.

a) To encourage another wagon and split up town votes more - causing confusion and small potential for no lynch.

I don't like you because your behavior towards bjc, which you've adequately explained, was a scummy behavior, which is to say I think there was scum motivation behind it.In post 2114, ThAdmiral wrote: - Snowstorm doesn't like me because of my behaviour regarding bjc early day 1 but I feel like I've adequately explained my thought process there.

It was the first few pages of day 1. I didn't have a proper suspicion on anyone! But I was happy to keep my vote on bjc because I didn't like his scum-claim, and I also didn't like his response to people voting him. It was a good a place as any to keep my vote, and far better than most.In post 2165, SnowStorm wrote:You're also fueling suspicion with frustration in the case of your suspicion of bjc and Rach. You said you didn't suspect him and that you only voted him because you didn't like his play. As town you should have put that aside and move on, instead you kept expressing your frustration towards him while you were voting him, which makes no sense to do as town because by doing so you were contributing to a general negative opinion on someone you didn't even suspected, which also helped in creating a distraction in him. I don't care how well you explain this, it was not town play.
Yes I'm frustrated people are town-reading rach because of reasons like nero's "snork and thad's case is bad = rach is town", a bunch of people saying "rach is town coz nero sez", and your:In post 2165, SnowStorm wrote:You're doing the same thing with Rach. Idk if you actually suspect her or not, but you're expressing frustration towards her town play and towards people town reading her (much like you did with bjc's tow reads). You appear to be frustrated because people are town reading players who, from your POV, do not deserve those town reads, even if they're most likely town. And you're channeling that frustration into your suspicions and votes because that frustration is genuine, which is something a fabricated reason wouldn't be.
I mean you agree with snorks case. If I remember correctly you were suspicious of rach's behavior day one as well, but because people are townreading her for no apparent reason you also think she is town.In post 2091, SnowStorm wrote:Snork is still a strong town read. I agree with his reasons to suspect Rach, but I am not comfortable with lynching her. I find the amount of town reads on her pretty odd, I mean, considering how scummy her posts are. So I'm inclined to believe Rach is town.
