I thought I was going to have a hard time catching up, but seriously, thank you ladies for filling the first two pages with pure garbage that I could just skip over.
Make that three pages.
Make that four pages.
Make that five pages.

...Vollkan? No more bullshit number system?!?

Players that went after Scooby for making a good attempt to alienate scum: Umbrage, Vollkan
Opportunists: UT, Gurgi, Umbrage (again), Kison, Imaginality, DBG (again), pops (again), lurconis
Conversation Misdirectors: pops, Amrun, DBG
Spinning: Farside

Post Umbrage #193. I caught 4 of 7 scum doing this in Defcon 3.

Oh, there are those silly points. I was starting to worry, Vollkan.

Great, new wagon.

VP and DBG white knighting. They are acting from a standpoint of superiority.
Vollkan is looking awful for pops. Still wants Scooby over bullshit.

Now Scooby is like all over the place. You against the world, right Scooby? Time for REVENGE!!

Farside coming off as threading water again.

Wow, all these juicy posts in a row! (#269 - #273)
Here comes Umbrage calling for DBG's head. No opinion of pops? hmm
Kison, lots of hem and hawing, but at least questioning pops.
VP, ugly ugly defense of DBG, even if its a joke.
UT, lolwut?!?
Spyrex, blatant DBG defense

Gurgi, no opinion of pops

Farside, being Captain Obvious, really helpful.
Farside again, pinging that scumdar.

Poro vs Umbrage, looks... either silly and fake or egotastic

Great, game derailed, thanks Farside. Really. Also, clearly the genius choice of wasting a precious vig kill on someone that was going to be lynched anyways.
oh boy Farside, "I wanted to see the reaction". really?!? WOW

IS: God damn I wish I was here live for all of this nonsense!

And no one cares about the silly Farside gambit. Ridiculous.


I wasnt too sure on pops, but meh, the lynch was justified anyways.
Great, there goes farside.
Other than the double vote, Kison wasnt much use to the town anyways.

DBG, oh look opportunistic Umbrage vote to start the day. Great!

Scooby: "REVENGE!!!"

Poro has picked up the White Knight baton, excellent.

Elvis chimes in with the conspiracy theory.
Oh wait, DBG has to get a better one of her own in there instead.

Poro is like a sparkling white knight now. Holy shit man, get a grip!

Damn, I was hoping to be back before MBL, oh well.

Scooby wants BLOOD

Holy shit, was Poro knighted overnight or something? WTF is this?!?

"I feel that he is scum." Way to be a helper there, DBG.






Im caught up! yaay! This first one is going to be so easy. I really wanted to go after Farside, but this scumbag has been playing the opportunistic role all game. Letting others do the dirtywork for her. Really crappy cases on Scooby and pops, constant bullshit lists (I hate bullshit lists) and now employs the services of Mr Angry White Knight, Poro (I HATE white knights) in an attempt to railroad Umbrage in a late coming OMGUS strategy and no reasoning whatsover.



Time to die scum. This vote isnt going to change. Ever. I dont care if the fancy kitty army or whatever is called isnt happy. I dont care if Poro comes at the with the White Knight rage im expecting, but seriously, I have never read a game so closely before and DBG is seriously standing in the city square with a bullhorn SCREAMING about how scummy she is. DBGScum needs to hang, TODAY.

↑ elvis_knits wrote:VP, how did you feel about vollkan's scooby vote?

I agree with you that it's scummy, but that's true of anyone that voted scooby over his poo poo theory. That entire scooby wagon was crap to me because it's just as possible for a townie to propose a dumb theory as it is a scum. Therefore, the people voting him over that theory are voting because he had a logical error rather than he actually did something scummy.

tl;dr - vollkan certainly is scummy to me along with several other people, it's just not as slam bang as I had perceived it yesterday.

Except, as I have raised twice now, I never said that I thought scooby's behaviour was a proper scumtell as opposed to something that was a legitimate object of early game pressure. In an early game where not much was (or is...really) leaping out as blatantly scummy, scooby's bad argument was a good place to apply pressure (even though I didn't think it was points-worthy)

VPB wrote:
and umbrage for his inexplicable whiteknighting...same as vollkan.

What does this even mean, beyond being a neat label?

My defence of pops was hardly "inexplicable". I just (as is my tendency) took a more sceptical/mistake-tolerant view than most other people. If I had agreed with you that his VC ignorance was unlikely as a mistake, I would have reached the same conclusion as you. But, instead, I stuck to Hanlon's Razor (never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity).

Spyrex wrote:
I absolutely disagree with LG - that wasn't a bad wagon. Pops went crazyface and I'll bet when it parses out that was more town than not on that choo choo train.

Despite my stance on pops himself, I largely agree with you in relation to the wagon. The reasons for suspecting pops were understandable, even though I personally didn't agree (ie. my criticism of the wagon is effectively one of theory, rather than seeing it as inherently opportunistic).

Lurconis wrote:
My reasoning on Lord G is for some of the reasons stated yesterday. His high vote and meta claim on farside then saying it was a joke. He then goes on to ask why early meta reads are bad and not legitimate. This to me suggest his meta read wasn't a joke but a fake claim. This behavior is contradictory which to me is scummy.

The "contradiction" (always a word that implies relatively serious scumminess) you are alleging is pretty much artificial. There's no difficulty in seeing him having a joke read, but then also, especially given the early game context, questioning people who attack him. Spinning this into any sort of inconsistency is simply disingenuous.

So, for the record then, you don't find scooby scummy, you were just pressuring him at that time, correct?

This is pretty hard fence sitting if you ask me. Frankly, pops looked mega-scummy yesterday. I agree with Spyrex that there were probably lots of town on that wagon because pretty much everything he did was another bad move that would be opportunistic for a scum player. You were staunchly against that wagon yesterday, and now today you're saying 'well, gee, I was only talkin' bout some theory there' Seems like a soft back pedal from your stance yesterday.

Do you accept that being staunchly against a wagon on the basis that you don't think its subject is scummy is different from thinking that a wagon is scum-driven?

↑ vollkan wrote:Yup.

This is news to me. You seemed to think I was super scummy yesterday for pushing the pops wagon. Considering I was one of the few people actually making substantial cases and such for it, I don't see how you're getting to the point now that it was town driven because that's what SpyreX said.

In the event that you guys are just fighting with pork swords, I thought that I would try to appeal to him. It can't hurt. If he gives us more reads/info/discussion it would help me read him. If he's town, I want us to realize that. If he's scum I want him to dig his own grave.

This post is full of fail.

Doc speculation = bad

Wondering why scooby and VP don't suspect him? That's really convoluted and pointless. "PEOPLE WHO DON'T SUSPECT ME MUST BE SCUM!!! But only two of you that don't suspect me must be scum! The rest of you I won't mention!!"

I don't really know what to do with this post. It's more fail than scummy. I'm trying to withhold any further judgement until I see like a normal post not from a phone.

I only had one post (177) in which I actually attacked/pressured/etc. scooby. The issue of the scooby wagon certainly came up in a number of posts, but it's simply not true that I devoted a great deal of time yesterday to pushing him.

Go back and look at where I assigned scumpoints to you.

lynch this scumbag now. gets a vanilla claim and suddenly the lynch is no good anymore? YOU MAY AS WELL CLAIM SCUM NOW.

Scumpoints time. VPB+5 Vote: VPB

Your argument here entirely ignores what pops said entirely and strawmans him to be saying "because scooby claimed vanilla, we shouldn't lynch him". That's very different from what it appears pops was doing, namely backing away from a rushed claim.

My problem with this wasn't that you were simply pushing the pops wagon. it was that you were attacking him simply on the basis of an assumption that pulling off a rushed lynch was scummy - purely on the basis that a vanilla claim had occurred.

(contrast that with the "refusal to accept mistake" line of reasoning adopted by the likes of Farside)

so you talked about how bad he was repeatedly yesterday and argued with several people about his posts, but you weren't pushing the wagon. gtfo with your semantics and at least own up to your play.

re: your reason for voting me - that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying:

1) VP Baltar was one of the main contributors to that wagon
2) You thought VP Baltar was scummy
3) Today you say it wasn't a scum driven wagon
4) Number 3 does not compute with your own stated stances

Your reason for voting me is entirely irrelevant to that line of logic. I'd vote you now, but UT still needs to die.

VPB wrote:

So because I make post in which I apply early-game pressure to scooby (and don't give points), and then I make several other posts where I either make it clear that I don't suspect scooby and/or respond to questions asking me to clarify my position, I am "pushing his wagon"?

This isn't a semantic argument (though, kudos for employing a stereotype). You are, in fact not semantics, accusing me of doing something that I simply never did.

You're alleging an inconsistency that simply isn't there. I've already explained why I don't think the reason for most people suspecting pops was scummy. The fact that there was a particular element of your attack on pops that I objected to doesn't make the entire wagon guilty by association.

Ahh yes the derisive defense, bravo DBG, bravo! Its cute to see scum pulling out classic defenses like those. You think you or Elvis can simply dismiss me and send me on my way? What kind of Jedi Mind Trick bullshit is that?

You completely ignored my very awesome points of your attacks on Umbrage
You completely ignored my very awesome points of your globbing onto Scooby in his moment of weakness.
You completely ignored my very awesome points of your buddying to Mr White Knight, Poro.
You completely ignored my very awesome points as to how constantly updating lists of suspects is the work of the devil; and of scum.


But hey, its a lot of easier to try to simply dismiss me attack Spyrex instead, right? My god woman, did you think that was going to work? Do you think im just going to turn tail and walk away. I got me a DBGScum pegged, you wont be getting rid of me so easy.

Im curious to know why Elvis is all up on my shit while completely ignoring the evils of DBG as well. If she wasnt totally invisible to me while I was reading the game that would so totally be a scummy lolVote right there.
