I don't even understand how the cheats work in these sorts of games, because I've never done it. It just seems like magic.

Whoops, shot in the head. Respawn.

go and chess make my brain hurt

partly from the game

partly from the insufferable smugness of those who play and look down upon people who don't

If we can't blast the stereo while we play and I can't shittalk my opponents, it's not worth playing.

i think allen wren is scum for his driveby bashing of people who like chess/go

tbf, my bashing was not driveby if you had seen the poo poo I was saying in mafia skype chat

my bashing is continual

because chess and go are games where I am a loving bad

and people who are not bads inevitably end up giving me poo poo about it

This is not at all rhetorical, can you explain the following for me?

what the gently caress does 'this is not at all rhetorical' mean speak english

If you agree that the points against KFC are good, what do you think of FV saying that Rarity's case on him is 'lazy' and too 'by the book'?

wait i thought fv was talking about the ct case fml

Why is voting someone based on a 'by the book' case a bad idea?

because shut up

no seriously it's because there is gently caress all for content and basically we're still at the point where people are throwing poo poo at the wall and overreacting to it so there is no such thing as a by the book case at this point and so acting like there is one is scummy

Is the case on Chic Trombone bad as in wrong, or bad as in scummy? Can you explain the thought behind your answer? FV seems to think it is both and hasn't explained why.


what's the difference

what you want me to read fv's mind? gently caress if I know

Feb 27, 2008

Yeah, I'm rereading. I had a really good "Somber, you're being a shitler" post drafted up, but I'm coming around on it.

So this is like four or five levels of arguing


WO looks pretty bad. So Ernie and Kumba give it a go. I'm not sure whether I can call Ernie or Kumba's moves bad or not. They're just "wow, that's a lovely play, have a vote" things.

But when you comment on a comment, that's analysis.

KFC looks real bad in this series of posts, yeah. He jumps on the E/K voting bloc, but here's what I'm seeing that I wasn't previously: I'm not sure if KFC is taking the path of least resistance, like, "hey, that looks like a reasonable move day one, those seem like pretty good moves to keep town alive" or if he's going "hey there's a townie, maybe we can start running a lynch." I'm actually inclined to think it's the former, contrary to the third-vote-is-always-scum theory.

CT posts as well in what's being called the coaching post. I don't see how it's a scum maneuver. Literally don't. I guess you could say that calling out a scumbuddy's bad post is a way to achieve separation, but if anything it immediately makes other players consider the relationship between the coach and the coached. Especially this early on, I'd imagine the proper scum move would just to act like that post never happened.

So Rarity calls the KFC post bad analysis, which is true and votes KFC. I'm okay with this. I dunno if I'd make that move, but I don't instantly think Rarity's move is scummy. That's the thing---just because you're not sure of a move doesn't mean

then we also have somber's look at CT but after hashing it out somber kinda pulls off of it. okay. nothing going on there.

so the crux of the thing here is the fv argument

and fv's main thrust is that rarity's look at kfc is bad play

I can see that. there are definitely enough players (especially this early) who are doing what'd be considered "bad play" that making a call on them is, in and of itself, bad play.

but I guess that's just day one for you?

However

Don't make this about me like you haven't seen me in other games and want to make me look like this isn't my standard poo poo in front of a bunch of people who've never got the patented wren-talking-poo poo method before.

That post is just a big wet fart
"I don't like the case on FV"
"but I know this post will look bad if she flips scums"
"oh and by the way here's a reason I'm feeling sketchy about her despite my saying like eight words ago that I don't think she's bad guy"

it's about two notches too defensive and self-conscious

Rarity posted:

derp always does this, it's always really loving annoying

Hm. noted.

and, balls, we're really in a pickle if we're going to lynch anybody.

okay, so our top votegetters right now are merk, somber and fv.

Merk, I dunno. I've never played against the guy, and it feels like a lot of the arguments about him are meta-based. I'm willing to buy the argument that he just waxed opop to end the chess game. I am the worst chess player I've ever met and even I could see how done that poo poo was. Don't scum dayvigs usually flip immediately, though? That's what I want to know. Maybe when the loved condition was announced, that's when merk got the one-shot, if it was gotten from that win. I don't have enough to grip on there.

I can't say somber's play doesn't feel like him, to me it looks exactly the same as previous. But him somehow forgetting how explosively bad of a player I am after seeing me in like two or three games last month and calling out my bog-standard lovely play as freaking out is hinky as gently caress.

I keep going back and forth on fv. I need to give her a real reread, but, like, when you look at the last time I posted seriously, we're stuck arguing about the analysis of analysis of analysis of garbage posts, so it's difficult. At least with the somber thing I just mentioned it's straight up disingenuous analysis of a bad post.

gimme a minute or twenty to reread fv but for now I'm pretty confident about changing over to

##vote Somberbrero

Ugh. I'm starting to wonder if the scum are just letting us all hang each other, and they don't even have to post to let us do it. I'm not innocent of it, but there are so many people not saying anything at all. I'm not saying much of anything because I've got basically nothing to go on, and posting when you've got nothing to go on is basically just as bad as not posting when you've got nothing to go on.

And of course this post will get read as both "wow, lots of words to say nothing" and "caring too much", while I could just not post and get read as "wow, so active day one but hiding now" and "completely doesn't care about following up their cases"

This loving game.
