The Ninth Layer posted:This is a really frivolous criticism. The conversation TMM "distracted from" wasn't worth having. I'm not saying that TMM should have started a conversation about the worthiness of NK analysis. I am saying that what Kashuno essentially said was "You are making a distraction from scumhunting by spending time trying to start a NK analysis discussion," and TMM's response wasn't "yeah, you're right, that is distracting" but rather "gently caress YOU KASHUNO." Why the need to jab at Kash? Nothing had even happened yet. Do you see why this is making me feel like TMM is working on creating a narrative wherein Kashuno is wishy washy and the bad guy, even from the get go?

Quidnose posted:Yeah, I really am not liking the way TMM is engaging with Kashuno on this. He seems incredibly angry that Kashuno's opinion isn't locked in with the narrative that he has created, and that he's not just bending over and going "yeah I guess you are right maybe I did do that I need to rethink" in regards to that narrative. What? This doesn't even make sense. Why would I be angry at Kash not agreeing with my narrative when my narrative this whole time has been PMush and Kash are working together? You're really reaching here Quid.

Without the hyperbole of gently caress YOU DAD, do you agree that, when called out for trying to do something distracting, it was odd that he didn't say "yeah you're right I shouldn't go down that path" and instead made a dig at Kashuno for no reason before pulling the conversation where he wanted? Because you haven't actually mentioned anything about my content in two posts.

He didn't say gently caress you or type in all caps, he said a sarcastic "Thanks Mafia dad" which was appropriate given Kashuno's general comment about the game (which I happen to disagree with). It seems like your criticism is that TMM thinks night kill speculation is worthwhile.

That is not what I am saying at all and I really don't see why you are getting that from what I am saying. I'm gonna break it down again in case I'm not being clear: 1. TMM speculated about NKs. 2. Kashuno said "hey, NK disucssion is probably a bad idea," the implication there with that comment being that he thought TMM was trying to create a distraction. Why else would he have brought it up, just to tell him how to play Mafia better? I don't think most of us do that as a point of order, I think we make comments to gauge reactions. 3. AND SUBSEQUENTLY, TMM's response was a big old eye roll. Why wouldn't he just go "oh yeah I guess that is a distraction" and then move on? Or if he disagreed, why wouldn't he have said "well I think there's value in it but we can do something else" or "agree to disagree" or anything that wasn't A COMPLETELY DISMISSIVE RESPONSE?

People have different personalities you know. This doesn't make someone scum at all and it's not a particularly good point for you to be breaking down in numbered lists. You're making a mountain out of something you yourself called a micro-exchange. So far everything I've seen you say about a player has been along the lines of "why did you say X when in my opinion you shouldn't have added X to your post" or "why did you do Y when in my opinion you should have done X instead." It's what your case of FV revolved around (that FV was asking too many questions of people to get them to contribute, instead of just posting some vague "Lurkers are bad!" post and calling it a day) and it's what most of these points against TMM have turned into.

You can easily dismiss this as different strikes for different folks so I am not sure this is worth engaging with you on anymore.

Quidnose posted:Cool. It helps me figure out whether your opinions are genuine or just a bunch of overblown bullshit (guess which way I'm leaning). It adds content to a game in which the 20-page summary I got was "people are lurking." It keeps your opinions from gaining traction if people agree with me. It's a conversation that can be analyzed in light of later flips. Maybe it changes peoples' opinions of you, me, or TMMadman after they read it. You were upset with TMM for distracting from a conversation and now you seem upset with me for participating in one. There's just no satisfying some people.

TMMadman posted:Kash, I have never seen you be this hesitant to name players you think are scum. Calls out Kash again for acting scummy, no vote. TMMadman posted:A list with no explanation or reasons for why people are ranked in that order. Not very helpful. Calls out Kash again for acting scummy, no vote. TMMadman posted:That's one way of making sure that you can give whatever opinion is convenient for you. Calls out Kash again for acting scummy, no vote. So why does he do this? He explains! TMMadman posted:This is actually part of the reason I am not currently voting Kash. I think he is scummy as hell this game, but since I always think he's scum and we always end up attacking each other, I'm trying not to let that bias me and so I'm holding my vote back from him for the moment. Also it's because PMush seems way more scummy to me. I do not believe that last statement to be true at all. And in conjunction with: quote:Like I said, I feel like Kash is really all over the place in this game and it's really pinging me hard. But, honestly, one of the reasons I'm not voting for Kash at the moment is because I think he might be right about SA as well, so I have to consider the possibility that Kash and PMush aren't scum together, which is why I'd rather dunk PMush because I feel much stronger about her being scum. I just don't buy it. I need to reread why TMM is so deadset on PMush being scum in comparison to how much he has been pushing Kashuno. Hold up.

TMMadman posted:Personally, I think PMush is scum. She spent most of D1 saying that Kash and I are scum together because our argument seemed too perfectly staged. Then with 6 hours left to deadline, she unvotes Kash saying she isn't feeling it anymore because she doesn't think two scum would butt heads so long but completely ignores the fact that one of us could still be scum. Her unvote also essentially (and conveniently) makes Kash an unviable target. When asked for other reads she says she stopped looking because she was convinced Kash and I were scum together. To me, it reads like she is either working with Kash or she knows our alignments already. This is the case that is so much more a solid slam dunk over his hard pushing of Kashuno that he's not willing to vote Kash. But it's actually a bad case: quote:Then with 6 hours left to deadline, she unvotes Kash saying she isn't feeling it anymore because she doesn't think two scum would butt heads so long but completely ignores the fact that one of us could still be scum. Not actually what PMush said! Poison Mushroom posted:##unvote PMush here is saying "I don't think that either of them, as scum, would keep doing this, it would be too suspicious. Therefore, it looks like a townie slap fight." That is NOT "they clearly aren't on a team together and therefore they are not both scum." TMM is misrepresenting her here. quote:Her unvote also essentially (and conveniently) makes Kash an unviable target. I don't know what this means. Because of the way the votes were at the time? quote:When asked for other reads she says she stopped looking because she was convinced Kash and I were scum together. This is the only valid thing he has in his case, and while it is true PMush offered a reread and then vanished, she explained what's been going on with her today, and I buy it. I don't see this as lurking scum, I see this as busy and exhausted PMush. quote:To me, it reads like she is either working with Kash or she knows our alignments already. The first is a ridiculous connection. Why do you see her as working with Kashuno initially? The second part would be a stronger statement if you hadn't undermined your own case by misrepresenting her.

The point TMM was making was that PMush was suspicious of both players and suddenly is suspicious of neither of them. He's right that PMush doesn't consider whether one of them individually would be scum. She just goes from "you guys are scum contriving an argument to distance each other" to "neither of you are scum because you're still arguing with each other." He's right in that she doesn't stop to consider whether one or the other might be scum, she writes them both off from being scum at the same time.
