He makes up fake business trips and such as an excuse to not post and hope the thread starts focusing on someone else. Might not be what's going on here but I figured it was worth mentioning.

This is something I said in the X-Men Scum Doc.

I think I said that I fake phone post, which I totally do. I also am frequently phone posting while on business trips though, so it's yeah.

I partially agree with Merk's point 1 in CE's case but I don't put much value in point 2 as far as d1 goes. The part I agree with is that CE has definitely leaned more heavily on the discrediting of people's cases/posts, but on the other hand he has contributed small things here and there.

I don't put value in point 2 because I actually tend to read more scattered players as town then scum, although it depends. The "recant" (or whatever people are calling it) to me felt more natural than malicious at the time.

I'd still like to hear from CE who the hell he thinks is scum beyond his one liner somewhere about Rarity.

yuming's case is really bad. Rascyc's case doesn't even make sense. I think the made up Cubs thing is better.

If your case is good enough it will stand on it's own without you calling Rascyc "crazy" and making non-existent distinctions between fake and bizarro.

yuming made this statement about my Rascyc case like two posts after I said the Rascyc case was gut and I really didn't know why I thought he was scum. I even made this response to yuming before she posted this item:

merk posted:

Oh yeah, [the Rascyc case is] mostly gut for me. His analysis in that whole citing another game thing feels made up - the argument seems really scattered.

I was using a tool to try to get a reaction out of Rascyc so I could figure out whether my gut read had merit, and then yuming made a case out of it... after I explained it to her.
