MOD – I’ll be LA this weekend staring at 1pm EDT today for Easter and regular family duties.
@Anyone with Concerns about my focus on Slandaar
– the following quote encapsulates my problem with his slot, distilled right down to the core.
Slandaar wrote: I think that slot is scum. What is your point? just a little fact; she replaced out here before some other games she was in.
In
Post 369 Slandaar responds to SOO who pointed out his constant weak shots at Malee’s slot with that.
He’s basically giving himself the freedom to make any action a ‘scum-tell’ (including the order that Malee replaced out of games) since he has a Scum read on the slot. That's Town play is Slandaar's stance.
Simultaneously he is banging me about my suspicion of him and saying “He’s attacking something that isn’t a scum-tell, he’s scum”. So I have a scum read on his slot and am interpreting his actions in a way consistent with my read. And I'm scummy for doing that.
Cognitive Dissonance in full bloom. I’m giving the thread a break from pointing out the many, many other scummy posts Slandaar has made since enough people have groused about it. Make no mistake – I still have a solid scum read on the slot.

Any reasons produced would be framing events in light of my churning, which means they would mainly be rhetorical. When churnings are judged trustworthy enough for sharing, specific statements have been made of the form "X is town."
If you want to take the ‘mysterious and guarded’ route and say “it’s gut” and are scum then by all means go ahead. It will make hanging you easier long term.
You ISO, on review, is filled to the core with fluff. Why again should I think you are Town?

Wrath wrote: @MoI: Umm, I'm the first person to push a case/lynch on Peregrine, how is that being opportunistic as you are implying?
It has to do with timing and circumstances. The
actual PBP case you laid out happened just after BB pointed out facts regarding Peregrine’s fishing that really put him on the Hot-seat. You, however, had
already voted Peregrine in a post where you responded to Kdub with the reasoning “Let’s try something fresh”. Yes, you did express soft suspicion of Peregrine in your
Post 198. The timing of your ‘case’ (which happened at least 5 days after your vote) may just be pure coincidence but does look suspect to me given my read on you.

BB wrote: Why him over me?
Um, whut? Why did I suspect the person pushing the scum role-fish / crumb attack over the person whose slot I haven’t found scummy all game and made a rather insightful post regarding the first person?

Peregrine wrote:Now, why do you want to make sure that we know you are Yoda? Given mod rule #4, help me understand the mentality of breadcrumbing ANYTHING.
Are you seriously asking this question? If you are you simply aren’t thinking at all from a Town perspective and need Rope ASAP.
Peregrine wrote:@Shadow (371)- You seem to indicate that Slandaar is scummy, but so am I? Are we scum together?
You know that this is? A bona-fide slip.
Free internet cookies to anyone who can point out why.
Peregrine wrote:The town motivation is none, since your claim will be believed or disbelieved on the merits of your play at the time you actually make the claim.
The scum motivation is that because the character is a good guy in the star wars universe, you will breadcrumb the good guy role in the hopes that come claim time, you can point back and say, "see, I'm Yoda, a good guy! I hinted back in post 1!" hoping that that will weigh more in the mind of the audience than the mod's admonition that it has no bearing on alignment in this game.
Does this make sense? If not, explain how you are confused and I will try and clear it up for you.
Nope, doesn’t make sense at all.
1. That you can think of
NO
Town motivation for the slot’s breadcrumbing means you aren’t approaching the game from a Town perspective.
2. The fact that you pointed out Mod Rule 4 undercuts completely your ‘scum motivation’.
