Those are MY towntells and MY scumtells. Maybe you should learn from them!

I wish there were more players with that attitude instead of asking for those infuriating "intents to hammer."

i don't know. maybe? i'm definitely guilty of reading too much into things sometimes.
the crux of it is, it caught my eye, so i threw it to the wall to see if it would stick.

Is getting a claim not what intent to hammer is designed to accomplish?
I hate that.
You catch so many scum running them up and then they scramble to fakeclaim. Asking for "intent to hammer" just buys time for scum.
Rush-claiming is never an issue for a townie. See my sig.

I random-voted Uncrowned on the first page...
Then I voted YOU.
You say my votes are opportunistic?
What a pattern LOL
One real vote.

@hoopla I learned the hard way that “scumslips” are usually not scumslips

lilith, you're so scum.
It's borderline comedy and I love you for it.

I can’t believe this is an argument
Your ONE vote on me and infinity’s ONE vote on me are BOTH opportunistic

Oh, I see, the idea is that people have to decide when to claim on their own because if they wait too long they'll get hammered?
That really only works if people are okay with hammering without a claim, though, which isn't the case, otherwise people will feel no fear of actually getting hammered before they can claim.
Regardless, it's irrelevant. If enough people want a claim, they can force one, and if not enough people want a claim, then they can't.

Scum always ends up claiming, so hammering without a claim doesn't really happen.
If the player stretches it, hesitates, gets stubborn, then you know the player is scum. I'd be OK with a no-claim hammer, personally, but it's viewed with great suspicion so rarely done. Usually delayed claims are fake anyway.

Delayed from what? From the point at which they're asked to claim?

Allowing people to refuse to claim unless they see intent is what you're talking about, and I agree meta has moved way too far toward thinking premature claims are scummy and expecting people to try to hold out.

I don't see why it's hard to understand what lilith said. 888 was the obvious interpretation. DGB's reaction is excessive.
