@All, I don't think I am ever voting for Ircher despite his weird sheeping of me because a) Ircher reminds me of Borderlands Dwelee and b) I have reservations of every voter on the Ircher wagon besides Persivul that is separate from their vote on Ircher. Does that mean they're all scum? Highly unlikely but Ircher is very much a scum driven wagon.

Yeah the closest things I could find were ETL subbing in after my scum lynch and a mirco game.

I've lost the thread. What felt like Scum-vs-Scum?
The initial stats discussion between Ircher and Shotty. It felt like artificial, forced conflict rather than genuine. Their interactions still feel off to me.

I dislike this a lot. Reads as Scum who wants to avoid spearheading one particular lynch to me. The townie version of this post is like "I'll support XXX, YYY, and ZZZ wagons. I think YYY wagon is the best right now though".
Are you hoping that a Titus-wagon will suddenly gain momentum?
Not particularly, no. I scumread him but he's not in my top 3, as you can see in the reads list I posted. Additionally, a lot of my read on him is relative to Ircher/Shotty. Scumflips from either of them would make me more sure on Titus, and less if they're Town. I'd rather see them die first - they're scummy on their own and help me read Titus.

Didn’t you just knock Titus in
516 as scummy for leaving her options open to jump to different lynches? Because I read this response as being exactly what you are damning Titus for.
Why do you think the early exchange is Scum versus scum? Please elaborate.
No, you misunderstand me. I don't think it's scummy to say "here are the three lynches I support". I think it's scummy to say "here are the three lynches I support, I'll be on whatever's biggest" rather than "here are the three lynches I support, and I currently prefer _____ Lynch". The former says to me that you don't have any actual scumreads, because if you did, one would naturally be the most appealing for some reason.
The whole "you're dead" thing and the stats discussion coming off each other are both pretty dumb, and the stats discussion comes from nowhere. It reads to me like they wanted to distance early D1, and after the daykill thing started to lose steam they had to come up with something else, and that spawned the stats argument. Go read the first 5 pages and tell me that Ircher/Shotty don't fit the description of two scum who decided on a hard distance gambit.
In post 577, Aneninen wrote:Also, I doubt scum-Ircher would go on with those hard-to read ISOs after the general dislike he got from almost everyone because of them.
What do you all think of this?
I disagree. I think if he had stopped after we said it wasn't going to give him townpoints, it would have been a clear indication he was only doing it for townpoints.

@TBG, The whole stats as distancing thing is very moonlogicky. It implies daychat which also shouldn't happen unless the mod implied daychat could happen via encryptor. Second, I doubt the wagon is massive distancing given the vote patterns unless the scumteam planned a bus at the outset.
The "prefer" lynch is actually scummier. By saying my vote will be on the largest, it's saying I have no preference. It's a common scum tactic to scumread a buddy but always prefer to be elsewhere.
@ETL, Look at Borderlands. K the. Bye. Telling someone to stop being an accidental hindrance =/ coaching and that's a hell of a stretch to say it is.

1. Are you incapable of doing research? You’ve presented that you are a competent player. The first time I had the “What are the Normal standards on MS” since I returned this year I immediately went the Wiki to actually look at the Normal standards. Pretty obvious course of action I think. Yet you are leaning on “I don’t player Normals” pretty damn hard.
Yet you immediately jump to the conclusion that Titus was coaching without any flips to make that assessment based on. Personally I can completely see Town Titus telling whatever alignment Ircher to stop dry-humping her leg if that’s what she felt he was doing. Yet that didn’t even cross your mind.
You’ve made several huge leaps of faith, one of which requires you to reverse your “Ircher is Newbtown” stance, to get to Titus and Ircher are scumbuddies and Titus is coaching. Leaps I don't see as following a logical thought process.
2. Can you point me to a game where a coaching accusation ever panned out? Because I don’t ever recall one.

1. I think you are specifically splitting hairs on what is and what isn’t a Townie way to present suspicion of multiple players.
2. Your serious contention is that scum-partners in a Large game decided that the best course of action Day 1 is to immediately come into the thread and hard distance with frankly stupid content (fake daykill and stats argument are both dumb). With the end effect being at least 1 (and maybe more) players thought it was obvious distancing?

the first 4 alphabetically. I usually copy the list into excel and type notes but I get bored quickly. and yes I have done it before, when I don't have anything else to do and I'm excited about playing another game.
P edit yes I've seen and used coaching evidence to catch scum before. no I don't remember which of my 70+ games that happened in. it also especially applies to Titus.
and as far as reading the wiki I don't give a shit. I didn't feel like digging in the wiki while I was at work. you seem to think these are scum points, so you should vote me. I don't really care to continue this with you as I've got better things to do like ISO people and catch scum.

You must have me mistaken for someone who sees scum motivated play, scum-hunts said player, and backs off when an "Appeal to Proficiency" is dropped. You should probably know that doesn't work out well for scum

I have personally done that, and on more than one occasion. It looks a lot like this.
Besides, even if you disregard their interactions with each other, I think they're both individually scummy.

In a nutshell: the scummiest points are his
185 (those guesses made very little sense
and
he assumed a third party) and the way he misrepresented ETL (that happened many times). I'm hesitant because I saw his scumgame not so long ago and it was entirely different; he was much more "cautious" and produced much less content.

I think again that you're wrong about Copper. What do you think of my reasoning posted at the end of my
566?
TheBrawl,
532. Let's say, that's a readlist which may be genuine. But there are things I don't get.
Are you townreading Titus because of her interactions with Shotty and Ircher?
Is Copper a townread of yours?
Also, something different. What do you think of that quickwagon happened on CyTheFlyGuy?
In post 535, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:Its.
Fucking.
Null.
...
All it tells me, is that the people on his wagon, are a bunch of lazy motherfuckers, or scum, or both.
I wouldn't call Cy null, but that wagon was indeed scummy. But I don't think more than two scums jumped on it. Most likely, only one.
In post 544, cytheflyguy wrote:Soooooo tomorrow I will have better connection to the internet. I see that I am causing contoversy MUHAHAHAHA. Like I'm town. I do think Icher is scum and I had nothing to say to add to the conversation. I do agree that the wagon for me is kinda a cop out. Not really because it's me but because you're going for the lazy people and not the people who really are scum like.
Who's scum then?

269 mostly.
Killthestory is such scum, holy shit. I actually thought about this and I want to vote him over copper. Copper is still scum but some of his posts make me slightly uneasy.
I still disagree with these. What does a genuine RVS look like?
Lowell's is null.
As for Killthestory's
96/
98 I don't think it's a tell. Either trolling or he indeed forgot to check his PM (or to read it thoroughly. Oh, how many times has this happened to me...)
To the part addressed to me, I do think that Icher is scum, as stated before. But I think Copper is even more sus, imo. I admit I am/was lazy and I plan on changing that lol. This is just so damn overwhelming and something I need to get used to xD.

pretty sure I never told you to back off. In fact the record shows I said tou should vote me if you think I'm scum. there's nothing scum motivated in my play. it's literally impossible due to my actual alignment.
