Hey ignore his stupid scum votes. You can make reads without his bullshit.

Do you think merk is a scum? I like this better than wv.

I think Merk is definitely back-pedaling. I would vote him.

I would also vote Cpig. Look at his post history. He is either spouting meaningless gibberish or throwing a vote on whoever seems to have impetus building.

Seems like you're just chasing after easy targets. Or at least make a real case, but "posting gibberish" and "throwing votes around" isn't a good one for Cpig.

This is pretty much what I've been trying to decide. It's a blurry fine between abort and "let's scum hunt over here" and I'm not feeling the latter in this case. It feels more like he's trying to intentionally get people to shoot themselves in the foot at this point and that's a scummy behavior to me. It fits with how I've seen scum Merk play before personally.

Oop, oh maybe. I have a very sharp memory of merk saying he "keeps people off balance", but can't remember if it was as scum or town and it was like a year ago. I think in a discussion thread.

Town don't need to resort to name calling, or brushing good evidence under the rug.

That's what I see you did here.

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.

TBF, based on his involvement in this game and lack of effective contribution, I'm comfortable with a d1 lynch of CapitalistPig.

At best, he's establishing a distracting meta style on the off chance he's scum in any individual game of mafia. At worst, he's trolling.

His votes have been terribad, following any plausible sounding argument at any given moment with zero critical analysis. Look at his vote on Rarity. It was based on completely flawed reasoning by myself. You know who does that? People who don't care who they are voting...

Upon reading your post history I cannot find an example, so I rescind my accusation. Your posting is giving me a "tee hee, I'm so random!" feeling but I can't say I haven't gotten that same vibe outside of games as well so it's not telling.

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.

I did resort to name calling to try to get a reaction out of Rasyc. I tried to get that reaction because my current case was only built on gut, and I wanted to see what else I could drum up. My case wasn't strong enough to stand on its own - I plainly said that already.

merk posted:

I've already said my piece on it. Go read that piece. Please don't distract from further scum hunting by asking a question I've already answered. I don't want that question to Rascyc to be overlooked.

This is the closest thing to me mentioning Keane's stubbornness. I'm attempting to drive conversation towards someone I thought was scummy (Rasyc) rather than let it get lost in a potential Keane/merk slapfight which would generate much less helpful content.

Is this seriously what you're referencing, yuming? How could you possibly think this is scummy? You're saying that I'm scummy because I attempted to drive conversation towards someone I had a gut read on (Rasyc) that you also thought was scummy?

# ? Aug 18, 2014 13:32

merk: May 20, 2003; ##interact

Also, regarding Rascy, I didn't see the parallel to the other game because I was scum in that game and I'm town in this game. On top of that, Rasyc himself characterized the other game as 'bizarro' content whereas he failed to characterize Keane's content here at all. He is creating an analogous situation but can't analogize the content between games. He also doesn't even say I'm scummy. If he isn't prepared to call Keane's content something other than fake and say that I'm scummy for saying what I said, his analogy completely falls flat on his face.

On phone and don't feel like hunting down quote. You said Keane was faking content and only scum fake content. I said that was wrong and you rejected you ever saying it.

You have gone from an iron-clad certainty of Keane being scum to "that's how content is generated on day 1".

I also distrust people who post literally eight times in a row. Makes me feel like they are trying too hard.

Can anyone explain to me why they don't think chaoslord is scum? Just look at this post and tell me it doesn't drip with forced effort:

chaoslord posted:

In catching up, I really don't like CE. It's been said by a few different people but he decided to shoot down one of the first cases of the game because "meta". Since then, two posts, one of which was saying that a doublevoter is around because of the mod's insistance that we unvote or else it wont count (unless doublevoter!), and then this

"My jokevote is now serious" for what reason? The Rascyc/Rarity interaction doesn't really start in earnest until after you posted this, so what before that has you confident in your joke vote? Plus then Keane was definitely saying "Don't lynch me".

I'm on the fence on merk right now. My gut is saying scum (and I like yuming's case), but I've got this nagging voice in the back of my head saying no for reasons I can't really articulate. Rarity's vote is really bad though.

Wow this is a great post because scum never vote other scum to appear town (this is sarcasm since apparently none of you can read Internet Tone). Not that I think merk is scum, but that's such lame reasoning I'm surprised the words in your post aren't using crutches to stay upright

Also I think it's really cool + scummy how Rarity wordlessly drops pursuing me in favor of a bad merk vote. In fact, I think I now prefer a Rarity lynch over Meinberg
