Well, allow me to run through it slowly then;
1. There were two people with votes on them at the time I entered the game.
2. One was B&B, who I think I can read well.
3. One was you, who I am more neutral about my ability to read.
4. I voted you.
5. You responded in a scummy way immediately appearing and trying to soften the vote and also ignoring the other vote on you for unclear reasons.
6. As part of this you questioned if the vote was random.
7. I said the vote wasn't random.
8. You did this.
9. I explained everything.
What's ten?- Thor665

You can't go back, you can only look, behind from whence we came.
But, if you wanted to pretend to do anything pro-town, you could try to stop the silliness instead of vaguely slapping at it and doing nothing.
Just a crazy thought.

Why are you so worried if the votes count if you're not even planning to put one out for three pages?In post 84, ActionDan wrote:I don't care enough to stop this freight train. who knows, I might even join in the festivities. maybe like 3 pages from now.

If the game had started it wouldn't be AS ridiculous, though I'd still take issue with you being ready to lynch on page 3 barring a really obvious tell.
Two questions;
1. Do you vote people you don't intend to lynch?
2. Do you always announce that to them when you vote them?

I don't disagree with that.

You didn't actually ask me a question. You called me stupid and then asked me to make you smarter about how the game is played.
Why does it matter that I want to call a vote 'that doesn't mean much' serious? Would you rather I call it 'not serious'? Would that be the smart town move?
I don't get it.
I'm pretty dumb though.

He should only be null at worst if I don't think what he did was a tell - now you're applying your opinion of the tell to me and then saying that my reaction to it is inherently flawed as opposed to trying to understand why I think the tell is worth more than you think it is. Is that how you scumhunt? Avoid trying to understand what the other person is thinking and just apply your own conclusions immediately?
If I was doing a reaction test I blew it? Okay...good to know...even though he reacted to me as did multiple other posters...?
So I'm either dumb town because you think a theory reaction test didn't get a reaction (even though it did) and/or because I'm taking a tell too seriously that you didn't try to understand.
Or I'm scum who thinks that causing a reaction test that didn't get a reaction (even though it did) and/or pushing really hard will make me look town.
Wouldn't that just make me dumb either way and not actually be an alignment tell at all?
You seem to just be saying 'I think Thor is dumb and hi play is also dumb - he is either town or scum.'
In other words you're saying nothing.

In post 133, Red Ryu wrote:Anything you got on OS is borderline worthless. I will say how others reacted to it is a tell worth looking at, OS though not so much.
So...yeah, in other words I created reactions and got tells.
I'm certain I didn't plan it, after all I only do it in all of my games in order to get reactions and responses - but this time it's probably a silly fluke.In post 133, Red Ryu wrote:So yes I think how you approached applying Ws bad, but your line if questions, at least later, is trying to make content and stance. I think your dumb town because you're trying but doing it wrong and pretty much got null tells from OS, others are really just a fluk and I don't think you planned that.
It's good to know I'm doing something "wrong" but am helping scumhunt to the point that generates a town read on me.
Hint: if you look at my meta you'll recognize you're calling me dumb town for something I do as scum (dumb or smart - who can tell) which, y'know, before you call my methods dumb and bad you may wish to look into before you claim it's a town tell for you.
Yeah - that's a backhand 'you play the game bad back at'cha.
I'm just bringing it up - because you suggested me making more of something that was really a null tell was scummy.In post 133, Red Ryu wrote:I had no clear read on you, congrats, I said this very clearly til I read page 4. You didn't really get much from OS and you got something from others, which all I will credit you for that.
You made a rather large production of calling me - functionally, a null tell.

I'm back on page 12 and will continue to kind of suck for a while yet as long as posting continues at this pace.
Sorry, but my current work situation is really only allowing me 1-3 pages a night, tops, and at the moment you're all posting faster than that.
I will have time to catch up on the weekends and active participate then, until that point you'll get messages sent into the future from me.
I'm currently back in the OS push and massclaim discussion.
I feel like I'm in a game with Pie again.
I'd be fine with massclaim (though I suspect that discusiion has probably died long ago as invariably the suggestion is talked about at length and then never followed through on.)
I'm...okay with the OS push, will be curious to see where it goes (if anywhere). I certainly agree his claim is totally derpy and skeevy. I'm not sure that I buy it as a scum strategy though, and frankly lean town on him for it and dislike the current push insomuch as I think it's scum driven (I like it insomuch as it's a decent sized push)
I'd still kinda like to run up Red Ryu and am in favor of whoever it was that was pushing on him (Nacho or Om, I forget...though frankly I'm content to buddy both at the current moment.)
I could buy the B&B = scum case as they don't look shingingly town to me...but the current case seems to be based around buddying me and;
1. Doesn't everyone
and, more importantly
2. B&B is comprised of two players who most assuredly would tend to do that to me regardless of alignment...so...?
I consider it 'meh'.
That's about all that seems to be worth discussing thus far.
Normally I'd slap out a vote for lulz, but I'm too lazy to look up the vote count and on the off chance a flash wagon formed I don't want to push it too far without knowing that I am.
Tomorrow I'll read a few more pages.- Thor665

Okay, so I need to read from Page 12 and the game is on...Page 44.
Poop on me.
Here comes a quick pile of thoughts as I read;
Page 12
I like Om's reads push, not insomuch as I agree with them, but rather some of the logic behind them - specifically his CTD as town which is at least not a normal push (indeed, it's a push on a playstyle tell) but which feels very genuine and attempting to scumhunt.
Om can be town.
Page 13
I may even agree that B&B's list is weak...but to have Cephrir show up after a lengthy jiatus, just sideways attack the list in a vague way, and then disappear. Well, it makes me wonder why anyone thinks that slot looks townish.
I am forced to admit his 320 is decent though, and provides basis for the attack.
Page 14
Om is more townish in his reactions to calling B&B scummy though, Ceph feels fake "oops, forgot I didn't really suspect who I was voting for" Yeah...sure.
I support the wagon though - probably would have voted it.
@Bulbazak- Majiffy doesn't buddy? Since when?
Page 15
Kinda want to lynch Fuzzy now, just because he's playing without any desire to show his alignment.
Page 16
I would policy vote Bacde at this point.
Ceph is really odd in his playstyle, he's been around since 2006 and apparently thinks everything anyone says needs to be treated as hard fact. The hell...didn't I ask him about this in RVS/Confirm...I think he dodged answering.
@Ceph- Address that, pl0x.
Page 17
Really, silence Nero?
Lulz.
Page 18
I think Bulbazak is town.
Town I will likely ignore and skim for the rest of the game, but town.
I skimmed the last of that page pretty hardcore - so I'm taking a break.
I'll probably assault in again later in an hour or two.- Thor665

You're kind of painfully saying it on Page 16 - but let's focus on the actual question.
Earlier you actually called me scummy for saying I wanted to lynch someone.
You actually did this.
You then call B&B scummy for saying someone is 'confscum' and not voting them.
Because...what, you think they have the knowledge to really believe someone is confscum at that stage? That we should all believe it?
You are dramatically pedantic.
Not just 'assume people mean what they say' but 'take them to literal extremes and call them scum for it'
This is, functionally, misrepping for scum intent.
Justify this.- Thor665

I provided reasons.In post 1099, Cephrir wrote:A serious vote is different from "we should lynch this guy".
You called them bad and weak.
However, clearly at some point someone needs to advance from totally random to weak serious, and then from weak serious the actual serious cases can be drawn. Unless you're arguing that there is way to make a legit serious case out of a progression of non-serious posts and that this is the only proper way to do it?
Okay, so he was scum for calling someone 'confscum' without evidence...I would point out that this is, again, pedantry. Obviously he called them 'confscum' without actual proof of them being 'confscum'. So at that point you're saying he can't call a gut read a strong read when he has presented no other read as stronger, and that makes him scummy somehow?
I don't get it - clarify a bit more?- Thor665

Continuing.
Page 19
@Amethyst- explain Mollie's town tells please.
Oh gawds, Eddie is very newb.
Ryu's defense of OS, especially in light of OS calling it a reaction test later, looks pretty skeevy. he's really buying into it and buddying the slot hard on what is, functionally, a VT claim.
Apparently we will later need to remember to divide Nero's vote count by 2 to see his actual activity.
Page 20
@Mac- Why is Slandaar town?
DLG feels town.
Page 21
I agree with Nero's push on B&B here. (the indie thing)
If B&B flips scum - lynch Desperado.
Page 22
@Amethyst- I have played with town Fuzzy.
I have not played with scum Fuzzy.
This Fuzzy looks like town Fuzzy - I can say that because I have no concept at all of what scum Fuzzy would look like.
Discuss this gak.
Amethyst looks scummy this page.
Bulbazak looks town.

Why not?In post 1107, Cephrir wrote:First point - you are allowed to suspect someone for weak reasons and to vote them, just not to say 'die scum die' or the like.
Also, why would scum do it and town wouldn't?
In post 1107, Cephrir wrote:Second - First of all, he never specified that it was a gut read.
Because a list of reads he can barely put into words as to why he has them are reads based on solid cases he's refusing to discuss?
It's only a "strong suspicion" insomuch as you're taking it to pedantic levels.In post 1107, Cephrir wrote:It's not pedantry, because if you have that strong a suspicion, you've got to have a reason.
It's amongst the strongest of a list of reads none of which have reasons...why is it special?
It matters to me because I think you're faking how much you care about word choice in order to make scum cases that look legit and can be pressed for 'legit' reasons, while the cases themselves are, in reality, meaningless gak with no real scumworthiness behind them.In post 1107, Cephrir wrote:The only one being pedantic at this point is you, I don't know why you're insisting we have this big long argument about my word choice or why I've had to clarify the same thing multiple times. I don't think I can be much clearer, and I don't see how it really matters all that much.
I'm trying to figure out if you really believe what you're saying by pressing you to keep defending the stance in different ways to see if I can find logical holes that appear scummy, or simply town with a playstyle I find disagreeable.
Currently you appear desperate to stop the conversation, as opposed to explaining how your scumhunting style works - which hardly thrills me as a response.

Why did I sound like I was lying to you?In post 1120, Cephrir wrote:Because hyperaggressiveness is often percieved as townie, whereas I think town tend to say what they honestly believe, and I didn't think you honestly believed anything that had happened at that point was lynchworthy.
Duh. I agree.In post 1120, Cephrir wrote:No, they're based on reasons that don't exist?
The point is - whys hould one nebulous reason that is stronger need to be able to justify itself more than a different nebulous reason.
If I have three null reads and decide to lynch one of them, and my answer is 'because' when I choose one...why is that so inherently scummy?
Yeah, maybe it's lazy. But what is the pro-scum motivation there?
1. No one was trying to convince you to sheep either opinion at that stage.In post 1120, Cephrir wrote:I also don't know that I really have a scumhunting style (see: Smurfy town player, usually too busy getting lynched to scumhunt), but my *preference* is to scumhunt by presenting cases, and I like it when others make cases rather than try to persuade me with ambiguous meta cases and "look at his posts" reasoning.
2. You are self-expressed as bad at scumhunting, but have attacked two players on how they are scumhunting.

I like B&B's catch on the kitten. Still want to lynch that thing.

@Nacho- how clever do you think Oversoul is exactly? Because it sounds like you caught him in a bad claim that would, by definition, require a large amount of cleverness to pull off. Functionally I feel like you're calling him clever and dumb scum both at the same time and applying both tells to him - thoughts?

I hope Mollie explains the 3rd party thing better than 'because that's how you sound'
Seriously.

Oh, that's a little rich coming from you, but then maybe I shouldn't bring up other games.In post 1182, Nachomamma8 wrote:Maybe if you catch up all the way and still think he is scum.
We're both a little behind, so sheeping each other turns into the blind leading the blind.
Still, seriously, what even is your case on him? Because it looks really weak at this stage and well past the point of being a test if you're still derping around on it.
Meanwhile, Red needs death.

Nacho plays to my meta?
I have been in some games now that make me question if bad play = scum Nacho though.In post 1202, Bacde wrote:you know, he's acting like an experienced scum player
his scumreads are few and far between
his only posts are purposely constructed to appear town without actually doing tough town work
he tunneled on the worst case I've ever seen nacho tunnel on in my life
You've never seen him play bad as town?
Honestly, I would have done that push as town - he lied about his reasoning for suspecting me. That's a scumtell.In post 1202, Bacde wrote:its the same way that in 1393 you latched on to AP making a small "lie" about whether he had read into your meta deeply or if he had skimmed your games--the point really doesn't smurfing matter that much but a scum will push it like dragon eggs because they don't want to have to think about the game analytically
No, he *supported* a proposal for massclaim.In post 1202, Bacde wrote:also he proposed a massclaim on d1 for no reason and pushed that
He did explain his reasons.
I did the same thing...except I didn't explain my reasons.
Why does that make him scummy?- Thor665

1. How scandalous of me.
2. It's impossible to read words and not apply my thoughts to them - that's how reading works.
3. Is this something NACHO has done before. I can show scum examples of people not reading games, and I can how different people being town when not reading games - that means you can't apply the meta of one to the other.
4. How is it different? Just that he's reading? Because he's claiming not reading...
5. I still don't think you or Voldy know Thortown as well as you would have me think. I often get in trouble for pushing things too hard. Also, AP flat out lied - what the hell?
6. Yes. Again, I support the massclaim, I support it without reasoning - so clearly I don't see supporting it as a scum action. Enlighten me.- Thor665

Yeah, he did.In post 1208, Bacde wrote:Also your point #5--no, AP did not flat out lie.
I'm even here in another game saying it - so you know I believe it to be true.
That is the best scumtell I've seen you manage on him.In post 1208, Bacde wrote:Nacho is doing the same thing. Trust me when I say this isn't nacho's town game. Nacho wouldn't tell me that my play is "good" in this game if I was tunneling on him-town (yet he did).
Also known as...a meta case.In post 1209, Bacde wrote:My case is not a "meta" case
Its a "nacho is a better player than this" case
I supported the massclaim for, really, all the reasons Nacho stated. Pretty much down to the letter. When he explained why he was for it my response was 'heck yes, I concur.'
I still don't get how that remotely makes him scummy. It feels like a random add on that has nothing to do with the rest of your case, and that makes the whole thing feel skeevy to me.- Thor665

Yeah...but was a signing off of the site, or signing off of catching up...which was what I was doing in that post.In post 1234, pirate mollie wrote:"hittin da club" is a figure of speech, meaning "signing off"
In post 1234, pirate mollie wrote:I asked you why you were cranky cos I wanted to what entertaining story you came up with cos I don't believe you are actually cranky, I think you are just doing it so that players will keep their distance. it is a classic tell for old school players and what is interesting is that it is a certain personality type who does it. you have been dropping it all game and I just really don't think your male pms can possibly last this long.
Yeah, being with Majiffy makes you easy to lynch if I want to lynch you.In post 1234, pirate mollie wrote:yeah, bc probably won't be able to out wordplay. I can't either but I might be able to outmaneuver you someday with in thread game play. mebbe
but then I am in a majiffy hydra so things might be different haha
Did any of that have a purpose? Besides a really stretchy emotion as scumtell theory that didn't even bother to look at any of my other games to see if I'm not grumpy in them in order to prove your rather silly scumtheory? Because, y'know, if I was faking it then, theoretically, I wouldn't be doing it in other games, right?
Well...seeing as how I am scumhunting and also that scumhunting can involve discussing the Nacho case...I dunno, yeah it will probably be easy for you to lynch me later.In post 1235, Bacde wrote:@Thor when did I say I can out-wordplay you? And when did that even become relevant to you being scum? As long as your MO this game is "defend nacho" and "not look for scum" I will continue to scumread you and probably get you lynched later this game
So...is that why I'm scummy? For not buying your not exactly impressive case on Nacho and also for "not scumhunting" (says the guy who just admitted he won't be scumhunting anymore)
Oh, wait, I just managed to insult your case, your conclusions, *and* call you a hypocrite off of one post. That's a trifecta, I win!
But, no, seriously - why do you think I'm scummy? You waded in on that awfully quick after calling me town, and the only thing I did inbetween was question your Nacho case and point out that I thought it had holes. Are you really that insecure, or really that certain that I'd be desperate to protect a scumbuddy from an attack...because Thor does that all the time.- Thor665

I've said as much.
Maybe you shouldn't infer meanings to things?In post 1249, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:I took it as you signing off mebbe you should have used more words
You're saying I'm faking being cranky - are you now claiming I'm faking it across all of my current games because of this one?In post 1249, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:wait why would I look at other ongoing games to try to discern whether or not you are actually cranky when I can just ask you itt. I can't discuss them and not knowing your alignment in those games, it would be pointless. you, theoretically, could be scum in all of your current games to say otherwise is the application of gambler's fallacy.
Because if I'm faking it...shouldn't you be able to find me being...y'know, *not* cranky?
Or is your defense seriously "Thor is probably scum in all of his current games, faking being cranky in all of them, so that means we should lynch him in this one"
Because I have to tell you...not really in awe of that as a conclusion.

I didn't make one, so it's in my head somewhere, swimming around.

Okay, let's even go with the theory that I meant logging off...what does that tell you about my alignment?In post 1257, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:mebbe you should have used more words in order to specify the distinction since you are apparently making one
