Also, I'm not derailing anything. I answered your question. You're insisting I answer it again with very specific phrasing for reasons I don't understand and are choosing to discuss nothing else.

What do you think of Gamer's weird statement? Or Spoonsy's "Day 1 is useless?"

No, I was talking about Gamer's "I'm here and ready to talk about how many scum may be in this game." statement, which I just kinda voted him for.

Nah, I understand that. I pointed out Gamer's post too (1) and thought it was a pointless distraction (2).

Yea to be honest it's pretty clear what Max is implying. CCKeane is being weird by being insistent that he has to phrase it a certain way, which kind of annoys me.

Being annoying isn't necessarily scummy though, and I like that he's trying to engage people to post.

I think you're reaching to deep into it. The scumhunting bit was a joke, but I don't play games with twenty one people in it. What's the usual ratio for it?

Hence.

The post.

Now I could argue that "oh man the scum would be racing to put up (fake?) answers to make themselves seem helpful" right back but it was genuine curiosity. This is a big game!

I can totally see scum trying to throw scum team speculation out there to seem genuinely interested, especially since you gave an actual number.

I'm trying to parse what he said, and I now realize that he meant that yes, I can see that max answered the question and it seems annoying that CCKean would insist that he re-phrase that answer.

Again, set-up speculation is always a complete distraction because literally no one but the moderator knows what the set-up is. We can play this game, where we throw out numbers and try to guess the number of scum, but that doesn't get us anywhere. It's just noise, which is exactly the kind of posting that scum want.

I would dismiss your question if you were a new player, but based on votefinder (1) you should have at least some familiarity with the game so I don't know why you are wasting our time.

To me, it looks like Keane is playing a variation of the Synx Gambit (1), which I don't see as harmful. I don't understand what you mean by it "speculat[ing] on how many people are here for no reason," because the point seems to be getting reactions out of people.

What's with the footnotes instead of using a link like TBL intended?
