I read Opop's post and don't understand what's scummy about it - can you explain further?

I'm getting a scum vibe on yuming. If she was town I'd expect more of an effort to actually confirm/explain what it is about Ecco that she finds scummy; this seems more like an attempt to visibly have an opinion for the sake of not arousing suspicion.
Except I am going to and just posted before you made this comment that I was going to explain further.

I also find her scummy and would vote.

The initial flavor accusation post Anon made pinged me because it was non-specific, and then the clarification here--

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

Uh...yes. That's exactly what I was saying. Off the top of my head, merk and keane were the ones I was thinking of. I also was suspish of imgay and cpig for the same reasons but looking back, they seem to have actually tried to contribute recently.
Why don't I like this?

Because it is a hella easy case to make and she doesn't even vote with it. It's content to look busy but with no teeth and that is scummy.

Hi Yuming. You mentioned having nothing to talk about, but this is something you could totally talk about. Tell us the story of Ecco as scum. What are the things that make you think she is scum? Can you point out specific posts?

Also, there is a fair amount of other stuff floating around right now that could be commented on. Any opinions on any of that?

EccoRaven posted:

The top two reasons she gives are the same reasons I was initially suspicious of Ecco.

She voted Goo based on Keane's case, and now is back on Opop.

Overall the impression I have of her posting:
- Throwing her vote around. She's in the challenge and complains about how it was modded. // Ecco is around but not advancing scum hunting.
- The votes she has made are easy. Omega specifically looks like an easy scum target to me: add pressure to a hated player and they could end up the only option if not enough people are around at deadline.
- ~bad feelings~

Would also vote here, obviously.

I think it's scummier to vote when you're not sure that person is scum. Of course I want to lynch someone today, but why put down an early vote if I'm not 100% behind it? I'm allowed to talk and make cases without voting. This is a weird post for you to make.

I'm around a lot because I am bored but I'm finding it hard to break into the game. I'm also trying to not be the #1 Poster like I am in every other game since it inevitably draws negative attention to me regardless of alignment and I find it really tedious. I am throwing my vote around because I think it'll motivate me to feel more of a stake in the game.

This is a silly suspicion yuming. All votes this early in the game are easy, and being worried nobody could show up at deadline on day 1 is absurd, that's when everyone is around for a deadline (barring the deadline being at like 6am EDT on a sunday or some other insane thing like that).

If you're bored town, wouldn't the solution be to engage others to help move the game forward and generate discussion? Your answer to yuming's case seems to basically be "I'm not taking decisive stances on anything because I want to avoid negative attention", which seems to be the definition of a scum game. ##vote Ecco

I've been engaging others... I've been asking people's opinions and trying to break into the game. I have competing impulses though, I normally play in a very aggressive, always-posting-and-making-cases style, but it always draws a ton of negative attention to me because I am abrasive and rude, which results in me having to play on the defensive all game. I hate playing that way though, it's frustrating, and I have in the past tried to post a lot without being abrasive but I am incapable.

I'm not looking to coast, but I would like to not be the Leader this game. I want to just read the game at my own pace and not have to constantly defend myself. I guess that's a little scummy but so what? Lots of things are a little scummy, and it seems weird to think that I'm the scummiest in the game to multiple players right now.

quote:

Probably not well.

re: goo I mostly really liked Keane's point on this post. It was very hedging.

re: opop I've said my feelings on him before here. You asked about the post that I highlighted, it pings my gut as scummy because his post was dumb but designed to look like he was actually being sincere and scumhunting.
