"Horrible no-good" or scummy? Or do you consider them synonymous?

Just a friendly reminder that you should have at least 25 posts by the end of the day to avoid replacement. You can do it! I have all the faith in the world that you can :justpost: :)

I would argue that making a case at this point in the game, no matter how paper-thin, is pro-town.

I think sitting back silently and waiting for other people to make cases is something scum would do, and is likely doing right now as we speak.

On the surface, Keane would have us think that he isn't invested in the outcome. That, of course, begs the question: why enter a tournament that he doesn't care about?

Looking carefully at his posts, I feel like he is making this up to cover up something deeper:


I think these quotes prove that Keane is emotionally invested, and suspect that he is trying to go unnoticed so that he can sneak his way towards the finish.

I don't see what's wrong with MMTs casing of keane. It's not a rock solid case but we don't have much to go on day 1. I don't agree with it, but i also don't think she's scum at this point. She seems to be the only person actually scum hunting.

The case is a little odd because it's kind of a flavor case.

Personally, I don't see the harm in with some flavor discussion, but I've been yelled at enough to know that flavor cases are a bit of a lightning rod.

Alternatively, Anarc: What part of bolding the words "good" and "hope" and saying "voila, scum!" do you think is actual scumhunting.

Why would Goo want me to win? What are you talking about Goo?

Also, it was never my intention to win the game, it was my goal to finish with a key in hand and get an "item" as a result.

I did what I had intended to do. If you were invested in my victory, you might have wanted to say something.


Hey... Didn't goo become hated? Perhaps they have a way to wager on these contests. Could that be it?

Is Goo the Pete Rose of Mafia?

I didn't say it was a good case. I said I don't think she's scum for being the only one actually trying to scum hunt when we have literally nothing to go on.

Hope is pretty scummy, if you are interested in being fair. Or not, whatever.

I'm sure people have figured this out at this point but the goal was just to put out something for people to react to and judge accordingly.

This stuff you pointed out, it seems more like dramatic flavor play than anything. Perhaps they are playing Nicholas Cage from Leaving Los Vegas, or an emo kid.

So in that regard I think your argument is off at this point. (Unless it's a ploy to use nihilism as a way to hide lovely actions) which will take some time to show.

But I don't think looking at this as a case is bad. I think initiating the serious scum hunt is good for business.

I am not above posting things to seek out reactions fro. Which to make judgement, but typically I ask for people to try and clarify and summarize information.

This feels more like a "trick" which puts you in a position to label people scummy for not having seen through your trick, it leaves things too open to your interpretation.

I don't know if I find it scummy, but i don't like it.

Look at her case. Look at how patently unreasonable it was. Look at people saying they like it, and how artificial that opinion has to be.
