I do have a question on this. I dont think I am necessarily shit flinging around arguments, but besides the arguing or trying to make a case what would you suggest? On the Meta I came from it was very much based in empiricism and observation. While I have noticed the shift here in both tone and play style, I have noticed that challenging is equally detrimental. Would you say that is correct?
The ego-boosting and shit-flinging was specifically a comment about Teamliquid.
I almost think you've overreacted to the site meta; you went from serious questioning of my vote in the first post to throwing around unexplained votes on a whim. I do personally prefer votes to be explained, and if appropriate pushed.

Understood. I think I tried to give more explanation and clean that up later on, but that is subjective. Thanks for the tips (or whatever the correct term is here?)

He shouldn't vote someone whom the only thing he says is he agrees with me. That's the issue. It's a scumclaim. You're placing a strawman.

Still think it's not an ego or a good case.
Still say this I'm god's gift is a ruse no matter what loha really is.

I don't see why. My opinion is that you had done very little to advance the thread at that point. If you're aware that it's a problem, but have done next-to-nothing about it, that's pretty scummy.

I think he just likes to hear the sound of his own voice. That is why I have been ignoring him for the most part.

Man I sense day 2 in my future.
Aqua, do you have anything else to say.
I don't see anyone shifting away from LoHa.
You want my take on it.
I say both LoHa and Titus are scum. I stand by my titus read.
LoHa had a strange moment I saw that makes me think this and Titus self assurance without asking questions is a dead give away with her.
I'm still not sure on the 3rd scum read. Too much lurkers this game. I had higher hopes for Soren then I've gotten so far. Mala is pretty much as expected and is like this regardless of alignment. And well Pisskop, I feel like shaking him up on day 2 to see if he is town or scum because right now it is snooze city with him.

I don't buy Titus-LoHa as a bus, pretty sure.
There is self assured and pushing because you found something in the game that you question and dig at and go crazy about.
Then there is one post that is really just meh and push it and hold it and call anyone scum for for weak reason and use associations for and I call that player scum.
Hell I've done that.
It's scum 101.

in fact, unless somebody here is an alt, I dont think any of them has.

Yeah. If nothing else I have a conversation to finish with Titus.

Probably not.

Can you share this strange moment so I can have a think about it?
I don't have direct experience with Titus but I'm not at all sure the arrogance is alignment-indicative.
...Now that I think about it though, Titus was... what... fourth? on the LoHa wagon, and could have felt pretty screwed over when you jumped off (hence the aggression). Is Titus a busser?

Time enough to worry about that day 2, after we see a flip or two.

Unvote:
My scum read is still on LaHo, but as this topic is resurfacing and being discussed I don't want the power of a hammer interfering.
↑Titus wrote:Loha votes me for reasons that aren't clear. The only thing I said was I needed a counter to itep to get things going. That indicates not much is alignment indicative.
Loha sheeps that thought process, but votes me. If he thinks my thought process is scummy, why would he follow it? If he doesn't, then why is he voting me?
All around, that's pretty bad.
This is bs. I'm not sheeping anything.
Just a reminder why Titus pushed this as a scum read in the first place.
I wanted it remembered because it really was very weak and quibbling over a difference in wording that no one would notice.
If scum is on me it's either Titus or TheLhix or both.
He talks about 2 players on his wagon but doesn't explain why those 2 are scum.

You call me scummy because my play is thin, I'd expect a townie with such a fat play as yours to come up with better arguments to base a lynch on, or at least sheep the ones that make sense.
Are you talkative scum?
This is the biggest thing that caught my attention.
He calls titus scum still, there are even votes on titus but instead of pushing any point against her we have random vote time next.

If everybody did that the game would go nowhere. You had an issue with the game not having anything alignment-indicative, and your solution is to do something which continue to make the game not go anywhere?
Yes, I have a problem with that.
