You have suggested, with much more certainty than SPD, that I am scum.
Also, will you be playing the entire game as a condescending asshole? Is it some sort of role play?

Thank you.

(1) You're accusing Kawso of being a scum trying to go "look at me I'm town!" since he pointed out the fact that the username tier list had judged users that hadn't posted in the thread yet jokingly. You're reading this post as being
too
observant, and you identify this post as someone trying to fit in as a townie, or as you so lovingly put it, a "Townie Tap Dance."
Basically correct.

(2)Your post reads about as much as you can out of one singular joke response that it feels like a scum response trying to sound townie. Thats what echo is accusing you atleast of, and I
think
jokingly so. I personally think it wasnt the same as what you were accusing Kawso of, but your next post in response to echo doesnt seem to adress how you're not doing the same thing Kawso is, you simply ask Echo to explain it for himself. It smells a little like deflecting the accusation by trying to change what the accusation was in the response, given how irrelvant to Echo's claims your response is.
I agree with this, except for the last sentence.

(3)Its not, if you're referring to question 2, and if you're not, it helps to use direct subjects in questions, not pronouns. Nice bait by the way, I don't personally think Echo's claim holds water but I do think the fact that you seem to be in panic mode makes it worth the vote for pressure. I honestly cant say if you're 100% scum, but i think some pressure will help me decide in the end.
I agree with this, except for your suggestion that I am in "panic mode."

I'm not accusing Kawso of being scum because he did something townie. I am accusing Kawso of being scum because he was so eager to look townie that he started doing his townie tap dance before the music started.
So, you tell me if I'm doing the same thing I accused Kawso of doing. If you think I am, explain why.
I like how you pretend you don't know what Echo is jokingly (I assume) accusing you of

If you wanna look town by making the first accusation, at least don't crumble as soon as someone half observes you making the move you're accusing someone else of making
i mean it was a little jokingly but imagine a confused person saying it slowly cause they don't know if they're right or not. i was serious with it, however

Ah I see, lovely you can detect my hint of dry sarcasm with those sentences to call me a condescending asshole, but cant seem to read the conclusion of my post, ya know, the most important part that states the point:

Thank you for atleast being clear with what you're saying, I'm gonna have a lot of fun having pull teeth everytime I want to know what you're saying.

Nah, I just happen to be a condescending asshole to everyone, or atleast I am when deciphering what you're trying to say takes so much time (with the exception of your post before you panic, could we get your posts to resemble that atleast?). Please be clear and direct when saying things, and I cant seriously remember the last time direct anger baiting (The calling me a condescending asshole bit so i'm clear) ever worked.
POST AUTHORSHIP Since you posted with a more thoughtful post since i started writing: Thats what i'm looking for as far as clarity goes, and to itterate more on why I think you were in panic mode: Shortfire posts, the lack of clarity, the primary use of ethos rather logos in arguments. I repeat this since i'm demanding a sense of quality from your posts, I might as well hold myself to the same standard.

I like you slightly better after this post. I disagree that I've been unclear or that I've appealed to ethics rather than logic. But it's pretty pointless to get into "Who Is More Clear" Contest. Thanks for your constructive criticism.

Sorry I thought ethos meant emotion not ethics, is it pathos I'm looking for? I thought that had to do with credibility of the author?

My post was joke analysis to a joke post haha
Balki seems to be taking this pressure quite defensively, which could either mean scum/ PR. I don't see him being vanilla. Personally I can't say either, as in the game I played with him, he was rarely questioned.
Seems like we're still in the gradual stages of switching from Joking random voting to proper discussion, so I'd like to see some opinions on some of the other people not being discussed heavily

It's all good, we're not Greek, so no need to use their backwards language.
Ethos
is appeal to ethics, and generally includes an attempt to persuade based on the credibility of the speaker.
Pathos
is appeal to emotion, usually pity, and also a lazy buzzword for "scummy" used by poor players of forum mafia.

How did you know it was a joke right away?
And why do you think outing a potential PR is a good idea?
Like, I hate this post, but I'm wary of your play.

I had some suspicion it was a joke... considering the people who hadn't posted were included...
Gotta say I REALLY dislike Mario's vote on me without anything else in his post. If you can at least provide a reason that'd be a lot more helpful for us.

It's because you're trying to judge whether players are PR or Vanilla. I don't have anything insightful people couldn't see by looking at your post.
