Seanald, why aren't you voting?

So I'm starting to get this scum read on KingdomAces. Anyone else feeling that?

Yes, several people have already mentioned it, though I don't think anyone has stated any reasons except for the fact that I'm useless and behind in this game. I'm trying to fix that, but as I said earlier, it's a process.

Anything from Tammy about our reads list?

Looked over BBMolla, and he doesn't seem to different from what I've seen of him elsewhere. A lot of one liners, spamming multiple posts in a row instead of consolidating into one post. The main difference is he doesn't seem quite as antagonistic as I remember him being. That could be because he isn't completely sure of anything this game, or I'm just remembering incorrectly, but there's definitely a possibility that he's playing carefully to try to get less heat than he normally does.

Most of what ProHawk's talked about this game has been theory. Ignoring all of that, the main things left are his continual suspicion of Morph and his townlist which among other people consisted if Pyro, who would go on to get killed, and Dr. Pepper. The first thing I'll say is that he's probably not scum with DP, and I don't think I need to explain that. The way he pressed Morph all game see,s like he's actually truing to get them to think and be more useful, which I don't think he would do as scum unless he knew Morph was scum as well, so he's a townlean as long as Morph still looks town.


Unfortunately for me, this means I pretty much have to attempt to analyze Nero the next time I'm on, because I'm running out of other people.

Nope.

I can't vote scum and sound chiding at the same time (even though I don't think I sounded chiding)?

And I was agreeing with the opinion that was previously put forth about it because it was said before I was able to say it myself. I'm sorry that I was effectively sheeping there?

How is this scummy? I expected more elaboration when you called it pointless. You didn't do that, so I questioned you about it.

In post 2616, uʍop ǝpısdn wrote:in particular, his habit of quoting posts and going, "Ohhhh, you're looking SCUMMIER! This looks even scummier than that"' is very gutpingy and makes me uneasy

How is this scummy? Would you rather I not say where I think things put people in my scumreads in comparison to each other?

In post 2616, uʍop ǝpısdn wrote:I don't think he produces much original stuff in terms of scumhunting as well, he seems to be reacting to what other people have said whether it's about him or not rather than seeking out new things.

I have more than a few dozen posts over the course of the game that involve talking about thing that aren't myself (including the one that'll top this post). How is that not "seeking out new things"?

I feel like I grilled people about this and maybe they responded but I don't recall. Are you guys actually keeping in mind that during the weekdays I am usually completely unable to access this thread and that there might be more than 3 pages that I need to catch up on that might hold pertinent information, which only looks suspect if you look at this from only the perspective of when I post?

That's a rather disingenuous argument, though I think Morph explained themselves well enough (or herself, since I think ffery posted then) below.

In post 2642, ProHawk wrote:Do you think I am more scum than Voided?

Now THIS is a stupid question <_< If you were reading Morph's most recent posts about me you should already know what the answer to this is.

A) What else do you want?

B) It was explained here

C) Does posting so that people want to lynch you regardless of alignment usually work well for you?

D) Stupid is as stupid does. It was a question to make a point that I am not pressing/going after Morph because I feel like Seanald is more scum than they are, just like they think you are more scum than I am.

In post 2635, KingdomAces wrote:I suppose I didn't word that correctly. What I meant was you specifically stated, twice, that your argument had nothing to do with your alignment, and you would have done the same as either. Not exactly disavowing ownership, but still giving the same "nothing to see here, move on" kind of feeling.

Not necessarily MY alignment, but Hawk's as well. Discussing the merits of lynching at deadline vs. no-lynching and our opinions on the matter doesn't strike me as an argument that will help either person get a read on the other, or for anyone else to get a read on the two+ people involved. Perhaps you could based on the motivations behind the argument and how it started, but not on the argument itself.

In post 2635, KingdomAces wrote:Like I said, I've done it before, and when I did I wasn't paying attention to reason whatsoever. I know this probably doesn't help you see what I'm talking about, but I can't really describe it.

No, not really. The most I think I got out of this is that you're saying you and he are/were tunneling (possibly deathtunneling) on your target.

In post 2635, KingdomAces wrote:I may have forgotten about that temporarily, but scum cannot bus in this setup due to money issues. One scum is already down. If he's scum and thinks that you are on the other team, he's still not going to be acting the way he is.

I guess I'm not quite getting your reasoning for thinking that Bald-Rightscum wouldn't be attacking VM-leftscum like this (or Bald-leftscum to VM-Rightscum). I understand the "no bussing" part, though.

In post 2636, ProHawk wrote:Oh, and you should check out this game if you are going to just claim a meta tell on me. Otherwise, I would love to hear why my "disengaged" play is scum-play.

This argument does not give me warm feelings at all. I equally dislike how I can't think of a good way to articulate why I think so beyond what Ghostlin kinda says directly below this post.

In post 2639, ProHawk wrote:Do you feel like I am lurking? You have an anger management issue.

Right now? Yes.

And to use a point from UD's argument against me, your posts this page don't really have a lot to do with things that aren't involving yourself.

In post 2665, Seanald wrote:Lord Mhork is kinda scummy to me, mostly out of omgus, he also posted a brush off post on the deadline activation page.
So did Baldeagle. So I'm scum reading them off of that, cuz im positive scum posted on that page.
voided fits in that pile as well, for sounding like he is trying to hard, and for posting on deadline activation page.

That's a really, really broad argument to put on people. I'm fairly sure more than half a dozen people posted around that time, and that's just off the top of my head. Why are we more likely to be scum beyond the fact that we posted around the same time that deadline was announced?

Lol. He got ya there, N.

This post from Aces also helps my townread on him.

Maybe I'm thinking too much of how I pretty much have to do things nowadays, but I was expecting...more.

In post 2650, ProHawk wrote:My choices are either sit by and do nothing, or make a comment on how your read sounds fabricated given the current situation. If you are town, the fact that I am slightly scum-reading you/suspicious of your slot/paranoid, should factor into your read, which you seem to be playing off that it doesn't and instead want to spin it as a dumb/scummy/OMGUSy question. If you want me to go into more of why your reasoning about me being scum is silly, I would be more than happy to.

Okay...If that's the case, why would you almost snidely ask if they don't trust you?

If you think we are scum, then I doubt you mean the bolded.

Please define lurking Voided. You will find that I often can be just that: snide. If more is what you want then you need to be more specific. Nope, I can't push both at the same time and my posts have been about Seanald whom is not directly tied to myself, so eat your words son.

Morph, I don't get what you are trying to get at because I meant every word of what I said.

If we're scum then those are fabricated scum-reads. "think X is more scum than Y" is kind of meaningless in that context.

And if you are not scum and you think we are scum, how can you think our reads are anything but fabricated?

You lied by omission?

Can you please quote this. Sure, I'll give you that I don't have a town read on it. You'll have to tell me your secrets about how you say things that are blatantly untrue and get away with them. #2 was still a solid point and blindly sheeping isn't and never will be good town play.

Because you freaked out about it.

Ah yes. Another line from the mislynch Nero playbook. Do you know that I'm accused of overreacting like every game? Sean, town or scum, is correct that I get this kind of flak every game. Considering that you do have experience with me as scum (you were my mod) I'm rather surprised that you'd "scum read" me. How is my play the same as your game?

In post 2549, Nero Cain wrote:DP flipped scum, I know I'm town, I know I'm an easy mislynch target. Do you really think that scum wouldn't try to stop the DP scum lynch?

I won't deny that scum would likely stop a wagon on their partner, I'm just saying that that's honestly a bad and a bit too obvious way to try and do that. It could be reverse psychology or samething and it really is an attempt to derail the DP wagon, but I don't think it's enough to offset my LB townread (though I won't deny that Faraday's lack of produtiveness isn't assuring me much).

Bottom line is, I just don't see it the way you do.

ok. So who, if anyone, tried to detrail the DP wagon?

The greatness of an argument has very little relation to the alignment of the person it's put to. Weak arguments can lynch scum and strong arguments can lynch town, just as weak arguments can lynch town while strong arguments can lynch scum.

No, I don't care if I'm answering for muffin because this argument is stupid.

I don't think you even really understand the argument.

Muffin called me scum for having a bad case on Hara. I told him hey wait a second "You guys mislynched, how was that a strong argument?" and then backtracked and said that it's that I was still pushing said case. What you just posted makes it sound like you don't consider a weak case to be scummy.

I already asked you once and I don't think you replied so lets try again. What are you voting me for?

I am going to make this a true debate only because I am getting fairly annoyed with you.

The definition of lurking is critical because you said I was lurking (hint: I am not lurking). Therefore you failing to define such a term only goes to show that you cannot support your argument.

VOTE: VoidedMafia

Morph, Two things:

"just like they think you are more scum than I am"

That statement wasn't meant to imply that I thought your reads were coming from genuine town.

Secondly, this being multi-ball makes it quite possible for scum to genuinely scum-hunt for legit scum when they don't know the identity of said scum.

Also I need to clarify that I'm taking a break so hopefully I don't come back to Muffin yelling and screaming that I've finished.

I'm feeling pretty zen today after a bad day of job searching yesterday so let's get to work some ISOs starting with Harakiri.

In general, I like the fact that Natirasha was putting Sakura Hana at the forefront of their hydra on D1. Natirasha seems like a stronger scum player than Sakura, especially given the roster, so I feel as though they'd have taken the opposite approach as scum.

In post 541, Harakiri wrote:Not since the day started. Mostly my fault-Sakura's been posting in the QT. Weekends are hard for me sometimes. Zdenek isn't in the game, I assume you mean nacho/Empire. But those three are the three I know the best and I feel my current role is to resolve to myself that I could trust them.

I know from our experience together in The Game That Shan't Be Mentioned that Natirasha tends to view himself as a weak scumhunter and is much more willing to resign himself and let others take the lead on that front. To that end, this post definitely reminds me of Natirasha's town game.

At the same token, though, I do also know Natirasha's big on mechanics / setup speculation and it was very disappointing to see so little from him on that front on D1.

The frustration in #918 reads very genuine to me. I tend to view people who react very personally to suspicion in a positive way.
"I'm not having as much fun here as I usually do in games'' (#1098) is always a good sign.

Hmm actually reading over this ISO again makes me feel way better about the slot than I did before.

If I'm understanding the setup (and I think I am, at least with respect to the right hand and left hand teams), it's not truly multiball. They win together. They want to find each other and work with each other, not get each other lynched.

That's why so important for town to control the neighborizing ability.
