GG is being weird and awkward but I really would rather dunk Pmach, who is around but not even pretending to try to be helpful.

You started off really weird and aggressive and that has turned people off quite a bit.

I need to sit down and rereada bunch of stuff before I comment more, I will be around for deadline.

First impression, I don't know if I found GG scummy, I think they made themselves a target by being somewhat off putting on the front end, but I will give it a review shortly.

You are the living embodiment of your username, trying to parse this has made me very tired indeed.

BUT I am glad to see you back in the game! I've been asking myself for years "whatever happened to Roydrowsy?"

Also even though your case on Chic is not very compelling (she is notorious for being checked out of most games) I do think it comes from an honest place and I like the cut of your jib.

Couple of things about this.
#1. I gotta be honest. That hurts a little bit.
#2. I find myself doubtful that this is true, but you flatter me.
#3. I was very pleased with myself when I learned the origins of that idiom.

Twenty minutes before you get all pissy. God forbid some of us have something to do other than :f5: the game. You belong on straightwhiteboystexting.tumblr.com with patience and understanding like you've presented.

You are acting excessively high-strung. You are outright diving on Hal for making jokes. I can't believe that you're not following the logic of some posters like Foo. I do not believe you are acting in a town-oriented fashion.

I think he's doing it in such a way that seems pro-town, but is artificial is what I'm saying. I think that's a good thing to do, but I don't think he's doing it for the sake of actually hunting scum.

I don't know if I agree with you, and I'm not sure how you could tell. I didn't see anything spectatular about this, perhaps you could go back and elaborate? I still think this point is weak, and you haven't done much to clarify.

The only reason I've been "exceptionally hostile" is because of unprovoked criticisms from drive by and or smarmy posters right out the gate. My chains ain't ruffled.

I don't know if you are just playing around with the theme/flavor of the game, or if you really talk this way to people, but I think that it is coming off as aggressive and off putting. Perhaps your play for street cred is lost on others? Making you seem overly aggressive and inspiring suspicion?

Captain Foo posted:

this isn't a good vote at all, reads like an attitude vote instead of anything with real content behind it. Still pretty happy w/ my vote here

I agree with this statement completely. When Bottle cast their vote, I thought it was also particular fishy.

I think this is why the case on Captain Foo doesn't work for me. This far, I think that Captain Foo has been playing things fairly straight. And they're a voice that I have actually been trusting so far. I think that there are a lot of voices out there that GG could be turning attention to. Trying to flip it to Foo seems more like trying to target somebody who has been playing as an asset to town.

That being said, I am a little unsure about Foo because they have come across as so helpful and confident. Being that confident often comes from a place of having more information than other people, or that could just be how they play. As I do my read through, I'll give it a look, but I think you're trying a move WAY to early with very little to actually go on.

Yeah, I guess breadcrumbing my rapper is dumb, but I didn't post my vote for Foo in my case on him so I just decided to spice up the post where I actually did.

This is a weird attempt at trying to inject some levity into the situation. It feels weird, and I think that can account for Epsilom's vote.

The whole playing to flavor thing came off as weird and off putting,
Then there is the aggressive play (which is understandable because you are in a tight spot)
Then you turn it around with this line... it literally is weird and awkward.

GG has kind of gone after everyone who has voted him though so it isn't like he ONLY went after Foo, Foo is just the only one who really responded.

And it all seems pretty weak too.

That being said, I don't know if I get that much of a Scum vibe from GG. I think they're just doing a very bad job of playing this particular game and they keep paying for it. At this point, I don't know If I've see anything that would get me to cast one of the last two votes to lynch.

I'd like to hear more from BottleKnight in the meantime.

I also think it is seriously worth note that HiipFire has contributed absolutely nothing of value this entire time. With the action that PizzaPie generated early on and GG currently, they've pretty much been coasting, Dr. Hurt as well.

ok in conclusion i see what you're saying, your argument makes a lot more sense now. i just never saw an za's vote on GG as omgus at all so i bored in on that narrative as being scummy

Between this and the whole "I have questions for SOMEONE ON THIS PAGE" and then not asking them, I agree it's very little content, but how is that an alignment tell anymore than GG's high-strungness?

Picking fights and making snarky comments the way Pmach has is a lot easier than faking reads. She isn't not participating like Hiip is, she's contributing pure noise in lieu of making any attempt at all to find scum.

tbqh it's a meta read for me on GG, his play of getting aggro on anyone who looks at him funny is identical to how he played in the previous game I played with him (where he flipped town)

generally snark and being pointed is one thing, but you have to actually probe and get responses out of people or proffer theories or do something instead of weakly hopping on a vote (za) and sniping around

I was not fully buying the PMach case, which is why I asked a question, and then when PMom said something I found convincing I voted. Would you rather I fabricate reasons to vote?

So why PMach and not someone like me who has essentially been a noncontributer or Hiip or Chic who has been the whitest of noise? Or Apostate Courier? I just don't see what makes the ideas on PMach so drat compelling compared to a whole bunch of other folks.

I don't see a "get's voted, then comes into the thread" as particularly damning evidence since there's a million other possible ways for someone to react to a callout as scum. Charging in face first to defend oneself just seems super idiotic for a scum move, and I just can't see Machine making that.

i don't policy lynch for flat-out lurking d1 which is basicaly hiip and apostate tho i remember AC posting some stuff that at least seemed helpful before vanishing. pmach's posting has been more disruptive
