going back:GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE posted:I'm saying that your "post your scumtells!!" thing isn't an Ecco way to approach content generation considering it is a LUMPEN approach, really. That you are now claiming without being in any way prompted and that you drew attention to that fact with an encrypted post doesn't feel right to me at all. in this post diqnol says: - the content generation question is a LUMPEN approach and not an ecco approach (which is not true, and wouldn't be scummy regardless); and - I claimed without "in any way being prompted" with the cipherpost, which doesn't "feel right" (posting a breadcrumb isn't claiming and "drawing attention to it" isn't scummy regardless). He also didn't like that I called it nonsense, but, it is nonsense, since it's a bunch of things that are both untrue (a breadcrumb is not a claim, a content generation question is not a non-ecco approach) and also not actually scummy. ~~~~ HiipFire posted:your lame hiipfire is around but deliberately not contributing to the conversation. this is what he generally does but that doesn't make it okay, and we should on some level hold him accountable for it. ~~~~~ TMMadman posted:I don't know, I think you were pretty good as town in Ecco's Pearl game. You really were on point with a lot of your scum calls early in the game but I think the ghost/no vote gimmick made people sort of pass over your opinions. I don't like this post but it's not scummy just not helpful. No need to convince Keane he's not bad at town as he says he is, he'll do as he wills, and who knows maybe it's all part of a large Keane gambit (like his "survivor-making item" at the beginning, it was a noble effort keane). You, TMM, should continue engaging with the game's players instead like you did in this post. ~~~~~ Opopanax posted:Hey, some of us are just really scummy regardless of alignment Someone find a scum-Opop game and a town-Opop game please and thank you.

EccoRaven posted:I think you are deliberately trying to act like a parody of yourself. EccoRaven posted:merk's point likewise is really unreasonable, but not inherently scummy. asking a content generation question that's explicitly contextualized as "this was very useful on day 4 of a past game" kinda implies I'm not expecting it to be a smooth launching point for Solid Day One Casing, especially in the first hours of the day when only a handful have even checked in. Despite that I still noticed something off about KB's answer and pursued him for it. To say it "went nowhere" and I "didn't try to get it to go anywhere but nowhere" is both unreasonable (since it wasn't supposed to go anywhere this quickly) but also nonsense because I did do those things. merk has recently gone on record as asking people to heighten the tone they use in games by being less insulting towards one another (since calling someone an idiot or a moron doesn't persuade anyone - true). I really don't think merk would extend that to the slightest negative description of people's own posts. I can't believe anyone for that matter would be so offended by their vote being called bad that they'd want to check out of the game. This is tangential of course to his points actually being <illogical, unfair, dare I say it silly>, which is a bigger problem that he's sidestepped by not even addressing them. I find when I am scum I often have a difficult time aping my town style; if I can't get into the groove I find myself becoming a parody of how I think I play as town. I've noticed it's a not uncommon way to play the game in general.

Eccos is really focusing on this whole KB thing and it's making me uneasy. Let's go ahead and go over the whole thing. Ecco starts by asking Keane if everyone should post scum tells because she did that when she was King and it worked. Honestly, the post itself comes off as a little weird because even though Keane is the King of the thread he doesn't actually control the actions of the people in the thread. So if Ecco really wanted to start a discussion about scum tells, there is no reason to ask permission, just start it and if Keane doesn't like it, he can stomp his foot down to stop it. KB posts this response fairly quickly:King Burgundy posted:I don't know if I have any. I try to play my standard game regardless of alignment. But occasionally, if I'm on a scum team with someone with an important power or something, I won't go after them even if I normally would. For the most part I bus ruthlessly though and go after the same people I would if I were town. Then there are a couple of glib responses from Opop and Hiip and then Ecco posts her own scum tells here: EccoRaven posted:cool cool. Ecco then calls out Opop and Hiip for their glib responses and then FoxTerrier posts this: FoxTerrier posted:I've only scummed once, like two years ago, so I don't know that I can really claim an MO. For what it's worth, I was very assertive and active that game, but it was a deliberate attempt to match my Town style from the game I'd played just prior...so...I dunno what can really be gleamed there. And Ecco immediately responds with this: EccoRaven posted:thank you for answering! you gave a good answer I approve of it (not the least of which because your first game afaik was FRACAS IN CARACAS). KB takes exception and points out his response is almost the same as Fox's (and I agree), but Ecco hits back with: EccoRaven posted:lol you mean this answer And I just don't know how she gets to that conclusion because it seems forced and deliberately misleading. I felt KB was being honest with his original answer. I've played with KB when he was town and scum and he really does try to play the same way regardless of his alignment. I've called him scum when he's town and I've called him town when he's scum. I don't read his original answer as saying "I'm perfect a player", I read it as him saying "I try to stay consistent with my actions regardless of my alignment" and combined with Asiina making a very valid point that KBs cases are better when he's town, it just reads like Ecco is trying to push a bad case. I'm actually a little more worried about Ecco's own answer about scum tells because it seems like a perfect way to throw people off her trail. She claims that when she is scum, she likes to hang back and doesn't really bus her scumbuddies, but she also says she has started to lightly bus her teammates to mess with her meta. So what I'm wondering is if her whole scum tells post was just a way to mess with her meta by saying she likes to hang back as scum and then coming out strong in order to prove that she is town.

the difference between KB's post and FoxTerrier's, to me, is like night and day. Yes, they both said (in general terms) that they try to replicate how they play as town when they are scum. But FT's post comes across as "I am posting my thoughts down, I am explaining the thoughts, I am even asking someone else specifically to help if they can." KB's is a flippant non-answer. Literally everyone tries to replicate their town game as scum. Even saying that at all is a waste of words. The problem with KB's post is that he was saying - with some degree of confidence - that the only scumtell he thinks he does is the "I don't bus a teammate sometimes when I normally would" line, which is both really minor and also potentially impossible to catch him on. That's why they are different, to me. It doesn't matter that they said one thing that could be interpreted as similar - the tone is radically different between the two posts.

Additionally: Please don't hammer before nearing deadline. Obfuscating team selection options, even slightly, benefits us as it reduces the information that PMom has when he makes a decision, though the likely decision he will make is picking his nose and eating it.

As for others, you might want to consider Opop and Mithross as both have said they are good at combat, probably front line for both it looks like.
