Ernie was one of the vote leaders, but then there was a super fast swing onto Vimes predicated on, well, not much of anything. However, Ernie wasn't leading the charge and hopped on the vote after having nothing to say about him previously, and after saying that you and BK were his top scum picks.

SamVimes is scum IMO. It's entirely meta, but most of the time that he plays he tries to piece the game together in whatever ways make sense to him. Here he's being careful, critical and very very reserved. He is having none of our frivolity. I think he is scum.

I didn't say that. You also were pretty strong on his being scum yesterday. Have you cooled on that for some reason?

no, but it doesn't matter because the context of the game's state matters more

yesterday i voted ssv and made it clear i was voting them on principle because i want to get the game going. same with my vote today on jimson. if that seems lovely to you, then call it that. but there's no need to invent 'scumhunting reasoning' to put a vote on me.

I'm not inventing anything. I saw a shift in momentum and called it out.

Aug 31, 2012

and before you say 'i didn't invent anything' i want you to read your own 'case' and tell me if it, made by someone else, makes any sense at all to a reasonable reader

you lose track halfway through your own case and start going down a completely different line of reasoning.

that doesn't read like a case coming out of actual critical thought, but a case someone just wanted to throw down Just Because

a shift in momentum not led by me is absolutely worthless in every. single. universe. where. rational. thought. exists.

If Ernie is scum, then people helping him to shift momentum must be scum. Therefore, Go after Ernie???? That's circular, self-fulfilling reasoning.

Here's what I saw. Other people voted Vimes, you hopped onto the vote after it had started to pick up momentum, you justify it post facto by saying it's a policy vote based on his lurkiness. There's also this post from your exchange with Asiina:

Ernie. posted:

okay, if ssv doesn't gain traction


also i wasn't paying attention that you were voting him. suddenly him parking his vote on you seems a lot worse.

Why not just vote BK in the first place, when he's already a voteleader, and already someone you're reading as scum. Hopping onto the newly formed Vimes bandwagon doesn't make sense if you actually believe BK is scum.

Momentum. In that moment votes on ssv counted for more. Again, my play makes sense in context of the game's state, not in context of the content in it. I.e. anything that gets activity going.

so he's not scum, just dumb? is that your point? I know I'm boiling it down but I only look for fake posts when ~scumhunting~

I still think bk is scum and I'd put a vote there. Unfortunately jimson is checked out of this game and I don't want that kind of low effort around.

If I wanted to hop a bandwagon I could have gone either way. If momentum shifted off me because I'm scum, it makes no sense for it not to shift to bk who was also a vote leader at the time unless you're saying both bk and I are scum in which case all the scum must be involved in this one hail Mary move at the end of a quiet d1.

I didn't say they are dumb. I think exakt is very smart which is why I don't think they'd make this kind of sloppy case unless they wanted to make a case to either get the game going or me talking or me out of the game or whatever.
