No, I’m arguing that most people are not going to notice that you cropped an incrediblely relevant part of the quote to form a crappy attack. And my scum-dar went crazy because only scum have a motivation to do that.
I don't think that you understand what we retorted with. We said that do you believe, that while the town will obviously skim over your posts, they'll read our posts in detail including the quote of your post in our post? You see why we find this hard to believe correct?
Cosca wrote:So you're stating there was no Town motivation for you to remove the part about the no-win situation?
And now we have typical scum play. Rather than answering the question you attempt to turn it back on the accuser. Scumtastic.
I now see what you meant when you talked about "cropping quotes". If you would've left your quote inside our quote intact, people could see that
you didn't ask us a question
. So now we're scum, no, wait "scumtastic", for not answering a question that isn't even there.
There were two seperate issues – one being the reasons I suspected you and the second being your assertion that there was a no win situation. The two are NOT related.
You removed a part of a quote that was directly related to the reasons I suspected you when making your attack about my ‘OMGUS’. That’s scumtastic.
Again, you write "scumtastic". Again, you show that you don't actually have any arguments - you just take our posts apart and write "OMG SCUM" under quotes. How about responding to our arguments instead?
Cosca wrote:You did not call me out after I admitted I made a mistake (I thought about majority voting, not about plurality voting).
Um, whut? I called you out for taking a scummy stance. You eventually back-tracked when I called you on it. It was still scummy when I questioned you about it originally. How many times am I required to attack a scummy premise?
No, we said that we were no longer dis-satisfied with your content/activity when you made that long post
here. Changing the cause and effects from your own perception I see?
Cosca wrote:You posted between our leaning scum read on Vezok and your post where you called us scummy. Why didn't you call us out immediately?
Give me some relevant post numbers and I'll see what the hell you are talking about.
#565: We call vezok "leaning scum".
#576: You post, not even mentioning our vezok read.
#635: You call us scummy for the vezok read.
I rest my case.
Cosca wrote:Your theory simply does not add up. There is absolutely no scum motivation in anything we've done.
We’ve done nothing scummy!!!!! This is pure, unadulterated rhetoric that you are falling back to when you can’t attack the arguments against you successfully.
We believe the correct term is "There is absolutely no scum motivation in anything we've done". But feel free to paraphrase things to make yourself look scummy if you wish.
Cosca wrote:We were considered town or leaning town until you expressed suspicions. People are simply sheeping you - and you know that people tend to do this.
Oh, so when I suspect you for your crappy attack suddenly I turn scum? Isn't that what you are trying to sell as a scum-tell coming from me again?
No we're saying that you are trying hard to form an unstable case against us in hopes that town will follow you as they normally do. And it is partially working.
Cosca wrote:So your argument is: Vezok is town because he doesn't post good arguments for his scum cases, but Cosca is scum because he doesn't post good arguments for his scum cases. Right then.
Nice twisting as I said nothing of the sort.
Vezok is Town IMO because you can read his motivation in his play.
It's interesting that you can "read his motivation in his play" and yet come to the conclusion he's town, since what he's doing is mostly lurking and posting only the bare minimum to not get prodded - and that's scum behavior right out of the Big Red Book of Scumtells. Hell, that's how I played when I drew scum in my first game on site.
Cosca wrote:What problem do you have with this quote?
I don’t have a problem with it. I’m directly calling you out for doing exactly what you call scummy – taking a weak player (Vezok) and calling them scum.
Obviously, just calling a weak player scum is not automatically scummy, but I assume you know we meant that. You just didn't want to miss another opportunity to shout "OMG SCUM" without actually having an argument for that.
Cosca wrote:Just so everybody can follow the discussion, here is a short version of MoI's "case" against us:
1. IceGuy made a mistake and thought the night executioner was elected by majority voting, not plurality voting. He therefore thought up a scheme which would have lead to the exposure of at least one scum player.
2. Vezok posted fluff and we called him out on that.
3. MoI was showing much less activity then he usually was, and we called him out on that. After he made a content post, we retracted our suspicion and agreed this post was enough to satisfy our activity requirements.
Oh look Cosca has tried to summarize the situation in a manner slanted completely to favour him since he’s losing the direct discussion. Scumtastic.
Again, you're calling us "scumtastic" for no reason at all. How about more arguments and less "OMG SCUM"?
1. What plan to expose a scum are you talking about? Post numbers please because I don’t remember anything like that at all.
2. Vezok’s posting was hardly fluff.
3. Lulz … MoI active lurked during a 24 hour period. Then when we got called out repeatedly on that scummy stance we retracted it. Oh wait, we didn’t because it was a no-win situation, right!
1. #371.
2. OK, let's pick apart his posts from the time he became executioner. That's ISO #20 through #38.
ISO #20: Top two scum reads without justification. Codfish is already most of the town's scumread.
ISO #21 states he's not going to execute just now.
ISO #22 is a third scumread, again without justification, and a question why somebody else doesn't have a second scumread.
In ISO #23, he posted about one power role that was present in the last Execution Mafia game.
ISO #24 just repeats Codfish's going to die and suggests what most of the town has already been suggesting regarding night executioner.
ISO #25: "You are scummy", no justification, again after others expressed suspicions.
ISO #26: Ridiculing a breadcrumb, after others of course, and pronouncing CC town because there was a similar role in the last game. Oh and calling me retarded.
ISO #27: Suggests CC shouldn't have claimed - after other people did the same. Also makes up an example which doesn't help anybody.
ISO #28: Fullquote, no content.
ISO #29: Again, referring to the last game.
ISO #30: EBWOP of #29
ISO #31-#37: "I'm going to hammer real soon now!"
ISO #38: Hammer.
You know what I'm missing here? Original content. Cases. Full, justified reads. Also, if you had been reading our posts carefully, you would have noticed
this.
3. We didn't retract our stance. We said "he was lurking, that was suspicious, now he isn't, so it's off the table for us". That was it.
And I think it's very ironic you actually clipped that part with our fourth point, where we were talking about clipping quotes.
Another lie since I called you out on the first point Day 1. Way to stick to the script even when it’s been exposed as faulty.
You stated my plan wouldn't work. I re-thought it, noticed I made a mistake, and retracted it in #406. Since then, you haven't cared about that; you only brought it up again when we suspected you.
We were saying nothing else from the beginning:

Actually no I've pretty much beaten in your faces on the facts of the case.
Nice work pretending that's not what happened though.
You have shown an unbelievable devotion to claiming things which are simply not true and can be disproven just by looking at earlier posts.
Oh wait ... why is Scum-hunter scum. You called him Town before retracting that read?
And you didn't provide reasoning for the change ... isn't that a scum-tell?
Yes, you should be reading that as dripping with sarcasm. My guess ... you realized calling Scumhunter Town with his play would link you two together in an uncomfortable fashion once one of you flipped scum.
He committed a scum-tell. We wanted to see SK's case first so we didn't immediately post it. For now, we were busy responding to your walls of "OMG SCUM OMG SCUM OMG SCUM" and mostly forgot about the Scumhunter read, but since we don't think SK is going to provide anything useful in the near future, we've decided to post it.

The post that made us rethink our read was this one:
Scumhunter wrote:Cosca, no actually I didn't read fatlikepig's iso. I read through the entire thread and noted his opinions before proceeding to iso every slot but my own. Of course I was influenced by the fact that I know I'm town when reading fat's posts. If there is something that he did that rubs you the wrong way I will try my best to explain what I think he was getting at.
Essentially Scumhunter said that he noted his replacee's opinions first before ISO'ing every other slot. Scum want to know what the opinions are of the person they're replacing so that they don't differ too much and cause a ruckus. They also want to know the case on them and why they're suspected. Town want to scumhunt, so they ignore their replacee's stances as the slot confirmed town.
Scum want to know if they are under any pressure and why, they don't want to make mistakes.
